At the beginning of the birthday banquet, the Xue family sat around the dinner table, and there were many dishes with auspicious meanings on the black Nanmu table, as well as some of the dishes that the old lady liked on weekdays.

Before the chopsticks were moved, everyone presented congratulatory gifts.

Xue Jingzheng didn't know where to find a string of sandalwood bracelets, but it was quite the old lady's mind, Li personally embroidered a longevity picture as a gift, Xu's was quite interesting, personally sewed a mink wool for the old lady, Xue Qiaoling danced to win the old lady's heart, Xue Hainiang imitated the mortal world, asked for a hundred cloths everywhere, and sewed a hundred cloth clothes for the old lady, and the Lin family also presented valuable things as in the past, a pearl of the South China Sea night.

The old lady, regardless of whether the congratulatory gifts were valuable or not, accepted them one by one with a smile.

During the banquet, Lin Shi suddenly picked up the wine glass and solemnly 'pleaded' to Xu, "Sister Lianshuang, in the past, my sister hated you because of jealousy, and I wanted my sister to forgive my sister for the wrong things she had done." ”

Xu Lianshuang looked frightened, regardless of her pregnant body, she hurriedly got up from her seat, held a wine glass and said, "Sister is serious, the concubine doesn't dare to blame my sister...... In the future, I hope to live in harmony with my sister and serve my husband together. ”

She bites the word 'husband' very hard.

Lin's delicate and delicate face turned white, and she gritted her teeth secretly, husband, what a husband! In the past, when Rao was favored by Xue Jingzheng, she only humbly called her lord to show her humility, but now, Xue Jingzheng actually allowed her to call a 'husband', the implication is that she intends to raise her as a flat wife?

Xu Shi forcibly suppressed the jealousy and resentment in his heart, and nodded in agreement: "Naturally." ”

With that, he raised his head and drank it all.

Xue Jingzheng saw that Xu Lianshuang endured the discomfort and drank the fruit brew in the cup, sat down with her, and said distressedly: "Okay, although it is fruit brew, you don't have to be reluctant, so as not to be bad for the child in your womb." ”

Xu Lianshuang smiled shyly, lowered her eyes, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the concubine is not so delicate." ”

The corner of Lin's mouth smiled at the bottom of his eyes, and although he wanted to bite the shell teeth to pieces, he could only swallow all the evil qi into his stomach.

"Hai Niang remembers, Aunt Xu's belly, she should be in labor after a while, right?" I don't know what Dr. Xu said?" Xue Hainiang asked casually as if unintentionally.

The doctor Xu in Xue Hainiang's mouth is the Shangguan doctor who was wronged by the Lin family for adultery with Xu Lianshuang before, and now he has been recruited into the mansion, so everyone calls him Dr. Xu.

Xu Lianshuang smiled shyly and timidly, her white and greasy jade gently stroked her bulging lower abdomen, and her beautiful eyes overflowed with motherly love, "Doctor Xu estimated that it was time for early spring tomorrow...... The concubine remembered that the eldest lady and the second lady entered the palace at the time of the spring dawn, and I don't know if the son in the concubine's womb can see his two sisters enter the palace with their own eyes. ”

Xue Hainiang secretly said that time flies really fast, seeing that the Xu family has entered the mansion, and now they are about to give birth to an heir, and continue the incense for the Xue family......

Xu's scheming is deep and quite favored by Xue Jingzheng, if she is really a man in her belly, with her thoughts, she is afraid that it will not be long before there will be a stir of right and wrong, she doesn't care whether this Xue Mansion will be made into a miasma, she only cares whether her mother can live quietly.

She is like a mirror in her heart, as soon as she enters the palace in the future, the mansion will inevitably become the world of the Xu family!

If she has to be favored as a concubine, it will be fine, but in this Great Southern Empire, any woman may be Nan Jiuxi's wife and concubine, but she Xue Hainiang, it is absolutely impossible!

"Did Doctor Xu mention that Lianshuang's belly is a man or a woman?" The old lady looked at Xu Lianshuang's bulging lower abdomen eagerly, her eyes full of expectation.

Xu Shi smiled lightly and said softly: "Doctor Xu said, mercy is in the belly...... Hsu is a boy. ”

The old lady was stunned at first, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, and she said goodbye again and again.

"If Pishuang is really a man in her belly, it will be a great achievement for my Xue Mansion!" After that, the old lady looked at Xue Jingzheng again, her face was solemn, "When the time comes, you have to reward Pishuang well." ”

The implication is clear.

If Xu Lianshuang's baby is a boy, promotion is inevitable......

For a time, everyone here had different intentions.

The Xu family hoped that it was a boy in the womb, but the Lin family hoped that the child was a girl, and if possible, it would be best to die directly.

At the end of the banquet, everyone solemnly bid farewell to the old lady, and then went back to their respective courtyards.

In Furong Garden, as soon as Xue Hainiang arrived in the inner room, she took off her mink cloak, leaned on the collapse with her stove in her arms, she lay on her side with her head up, her eyebrows and eyes were closed lightly, and only after a while did she tell Mingxi to call Gu San.

Gu San said respectfully: "I don't know why the eldest lady called her subordinates to come. ”

Xue Hainiang's eyelids were raised slightly, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a smile, "For so long, I have been letting you guard Furong Garden for me, but it is overkill, and now I will give you a chance to show your skills...... You go to the capital for me to inquire about Dr. Xu. ”

After a pause, he continued: "I need to be meticulous, I need to know where he has been in recent days, who he has crossed paths with, and what he likes on weekdays." ”

Gu Sanyi was stunned, although he didn't know why Xue Hainiang ordered him to inquire about this person, but since Xue Hainiang had ordered him, he was duty-bound, and he arched his hand and retreated.

After Mingxi and the others on the side left, they looked at Xue Hainiang suspiciously, and said puzzledly: "Why did Miss inquire about that Doctor Xu?

Xue Hainiang smiled lightly, holding her pink cheeks, with a touch of laziness between her eyebrows, "You grew up with me, and you have been in the Xue Mansion for more than ten years, so you don't know how arrogant and domineering the Lin family is, now she has been defeated, but she has lost so embarrassedly, how can she not always think about how to turn the tables? Now the child in Xu's womb is her only chance to turn over, if Xu's really gives birth to a boy, she Lin Pianpian will have to bow down under Xu's for the rest of her life, so ......"

Hearing this, her apricot eyes widened, and she looked frightened, "You, you mean Aunt Lin ...... her"

Xue Hainiang hooked the corners of her mouth, not at all as frightened and helpless as Mingxi, "The Lin family's heart is higher than the sky, how can she tolerate a mere mercy on her head, she didn't even pay attention to her mother that day...... This person, once he is cornered, he is afraid that he will not care about anything. ”

The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, which just interprets today's Lin.

Mingxi's pretty face turned pale, and she didn't dare to think about it deeply, and she kept feeling that the backyard of this deep house was really full of pickles and poison.

At dusk, Gu San finally returned to Furong Garden with the news.

After he bowed and saluted, he said respectfully, "The subordinates have investigated the details of the doctor one by one according to the instructions of the young lady, and the doctor and Aunt Xu have no deep friendship, although the two are siblings, but when Xu's biological mother gave birth to that Xu doctor, she died, and Mrs. Xu hated Xu's biological mother for being favored by her husband, so she secretly stole that Xu Dafu out of the house and secretly sold it to Ya Po."

More than ten years later, after several turnovers, Aunt Xu and Dr. Xu recognized each other, although the two were connected by blood, but they never got along since childhood, Aunt Xu was clothed and fed, but Dr. Xu was a ...... of life and death."
