Chapter 129: Hardship
The second lady Huang Qingya and Li Jinhuan returned to the west courtyard of the palace together, and Mama Huang led the maids to serve the couple and the couple after freshening up and then retreated.
But after only a while, the door of the bedroom was opened again, and Li Jinhuan angrily shook his hand and left.
Mama Huang hurriedly ran into the bedroom and saw Huang Qingya, who was only wearing a thin undershirt, sitting on the edge of the bed and crying.
Mama Huang was distressed, and hurriedly took a brocade jacket and put it on Huang Qingya, and then asked in a low voice:
"Girl, is the second master annoyed because of Miss Mei?"
Before entering the palace for the banquet, Huang Qingya told Mama Huang her plans, and Mama Huang felt that it was inappropriate at that time, afraid that she would anger Li Jinhuan.
Huang Qingya took the handkerchief handed to her by Mama Huang, wiped her tears, and said:
"Mama, I didn't mean to find trouble. For so many days, I have shown favor to Miss Mei many times, but she has always been indifferent.
How could she, such a smart person, not know what I meant?
The county lord is Miss Mei's best friend, and she is the most straightforward and kind-hearted, it just so happens that she is pregnant now, if I can go to visit her with Miss Mei, even if the county lord just mentions it in passing, Miss Mei will not refuse. ”
Seeing that her girl had worked so hard to plan to such an extent, Mama Huang was so sad that her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but feel resentful in her heart.
Who doesn't want to give birth to a son-in-law as soon as possible after marrying a daughter-in-law? The second master and the side concubine are different.
Isn't it just that the Huang family is a merchant? Counting on the girl who has not been out for many years, she can take a break and marry another high-ranking family.
When you take the Huang family's silver and put gold on your face, why don't you dislike the Huang family as a merchant?
It's a shame that the prince and the princess are willing to give the girl face, otherwise how would they live this day?
The county lord of Changle has not been safe for many days, so he sent someone to tell Mei Xue two days in advance, asking her to bring peace with her when she goes to Shen Mansion.
The carriage of the second lady Huang Qingya stopped at the side door of the plum house garden early in the morning, but she did not let people go in and disturb her, but waited quietly.
When the side door finally opened, Huang Qingya stepped out of the car.
Mei Xue glanced at Huang Qingya through the window, sighed in her heart, and asked Jiu'er to invite her to the car.
Ping An has never been afraid of life, and Huang Qingya likes children very much, so it didn't take long for Ping An to play with Huang Qingya.
When Ping'an was a little sleepy, Huang Qingya scrambled to hold him in his arms and put him to sleep, and carefully wrapped Ping'an with his own cloak.
Mei Xue looked at her careful and cautious appearance, and her heart was infinitely sour.
There are few women in this world who live easily, and the bitterness in Huang Qingya's heart is about to overflow, right?
Even Jiu'er felt sad when she saw it, and her eyes kept wandering between Huang Qingya and Mei Xue.
Jiu'er didn't want to be rejected, she had a good impression of the second lady from the beginning.
Therefore, she is looking forward to her girl being able to diagnose the second lady.
Not to mention in the palace, it is an ordinary villager's family, as long as a woman can't have children, she won't have a good life.
When she arrived at the Shen Mansion, Ping'an laughed as soon as she saw the county lord of Changle, spread her legs and rushed towards her.
Mei Xue was afraid that he would fall, so she hurriedly reached out to stop him.
But Ping'an ran too fast, not only did he not let Mei Xue catch his hand, but he himself was about to hit a big flower pot on the side of the road because he ran too fast.
Jiu'er followed at the back, and before she had time to cross Mei Xue and Huang Qingya to stop Ping'an, she shouted in shock.
At this moment, the second lady Huang Qingya rushed out without hesitation.
She ran as fast as she could, hugging him before he fell.
Huang Qingya was knocked down on the flower pot by Ping'an, but Ping'an fell into her arms safely.
A group of people surrounded her, and Ping'an was held in Jiu'er's arms, and Mei Xue hurriedly bent down to support Huang Qingya.
Huang Qingya's back was just on the edge of the flower pot, and it was estimated that the knock was not light.
Because when Mei Xue helped her, she could clearly feel that her whole body was tense in pain.
Only Mei Xue and the county lord of Changle were left in the bedroom, Mei Xue lifted the small clothes on Huang Qingya's back, and saw a bruise that was obviously swollen.
It was knocked on the edge of the flower pot, and it was half a finger wide.
The county lord of Changle frowned in distress, Mei Xue gave good medicine to the wound and wrapped it in two layers of cotton cloth.
Mama Huang took a clean coat and came in to change it for Huang Qingya, and the county lord of Changle sat down and said with palpitations:
"Fortunately, the bones are fine, otherwise you would have to lie in bed for a while, cousin."
Huang Qingya smiled and whispered indifferently:
"I've been walking in the countryside since I was a child, checking the crops, collecting rent, and even plowing the fields and planting rice.
This little injury is not in the way at all, and it will be fine in three or five days. ”
Mei Xue looked at Huang Qingya quietly, although it was hard to imagine how she could handle chores in the countryside with her beauty and slenderness, she believed what Huang Qingya said.
Because just from Song Zhijie, Huang Qingya's life is far more difficult than what she understated.
Huang's mother died of illness at an early age, leaving behind four Huang Qingya sisters and brothers. Huang's father was busy with business, and in order to save his children from being wronged, he remarried Huang Qingya's aunt.
But even if it's an aunt, what can she do, after having her own children, she still can't tolerate Huang Qingya's sisters and brothers.
In order to avoid being wronged by her younger siblings, Huang Qingya began to operate inside and outside at a young age, just to fight for a place for herself and her younger siblings in the Huang Mansion.
Even so, it was only after the Shu Wangfu went to the Huang family to propose marriage that Huang Qingya's aunt finally reined in, at least on the surface, she didn't dare to do too much.
Therefore, Mei Xue thought early on that even if Huang Qingya knew the truth about her infertility, she probably wouldn't have turned her face with Li Jinhuan's mother and son.
The Shu Wangfu is the backer of her and her younger siblings, and it is far more useful than Huang's father.
As Huang Qingya and Mama Huang were looking forward to, before the tea was finished, the county lord of Changle suddenly asked Huang Qingya as if he remembered something:
"Cousin-in-law, you've been married for almost two years, right? Why aren't you pregnant?
Is there something uncomfortable in your body? If so, let Mei Xue show you.
Let me tell you, there is no disease that Mei Xue can't diagnose. ”
Mei Xue looked at the county lord of Changle speechlessly, although she knew the temperament of the county lord of Changle, but saying it so directly still made Mei Xue feel very embarrassed.
She felt embarrassed by an outsider, wouldn't the second lady's master and servant be even more uncomfortable?
Sure enough, as soon as the Changle County Lord's voice fell, Huang Qingya's eyes turned red.
Mama Huang choked up directly, she looked at Huang Qingya a few times, gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, and then knelt in front of Mei Xue with a "poof".
Mei Xue sighed in her heart, she bent down to help Mama Huang up, and said to her:
"Mama, I know what you're trying to say. You send the county lord to rest first, I have something to say to the second lady alone. ”
The county lord of Changle had already seen some clues, so she didn't ask much, stood up and shook Mei Xue's hand, and led Mama Huang out of the bedroom.
Huang Qingya took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said to Mei Xue with a wry smile:
"Miss Mei, I know the grievances between you and the side concubine, so I don't dare to talk to you.
However, my situation is really getting harder and harder. Shuzhong just sent the news that one of the concubines left by the second master in Chengdu gave birth safely, and she was a daughter.
The side concubine held a wedding banquet in a big way, saying that even if she was just a girl, she was the eldest granddaughter of the palace, and she was better than me for many years......
But I've really begged all the doctors I can, and even the Guo Yuan envoy of Tai Hospital, I have ...... many times."
Huang Qingya choked up and couldn't even speak.
These days, Huang Qingya has obviously lost a lot of weight, her fair face is almost bloodless, and her chin is sharper.
Mei Xue looked at her and didn't speak, and waited silently until she finally calmed down before saying:
"The grievances between me and the side concubine have nothing to do with you, the second lady, I am willing and able to help you realize your wishes.
I just want to confirm with you, living a life alone like him and having a child that belongs to you, can Madame really be sure that she will not regret it in the future?
Because once you have a child, your bonds will become more and the path of retreat will become narrower.
I hope you will think about this question carefully, don't rush to answer me, and tell me when you are sure. ”
After speaking, Mei Xue stood up and hesitated for a moment before reaching out and patting Huang Qingya's shoulder to leave.
