150: miscarriage
"Brother Custodian is satisfied. The price of these one hundred thousand taels was determined for Xiang Xiang's sake."
"Miss Third is younger than you, right? How can you be so capable?" Qiao Yuanan had never been in contact with Lu Xiang, so he had a new understanding of Lu Xiang's abilities.
The mine business is between Qiao Zhiyan and Lu Xiang. Except for the two elders of the Lu family, no one else knows about it.
Qiao Jingru said to Yourong: "That's natural, otherwise the Queen wouldn't like her."
Qiao Yuanan and Qiao Zhiyan looked at each other. With the Queen's relationship, everything they do can be done with half the effort.
The mansion is two streets away from the Lu family, so it is very convenient to go back and forth. It has three levels inside and outside, with a deep and wide courtyard. There are flowers and strange rocks between the halls and courtyards, mixed with countless weeds. There is an artificially dug lake in the back garden.
At this moment, there is a layer of dead leaves floating on the lake, and various vivid patterns are carved on the eaves and pillars. Although the whole house is a bit decadent, it is quite elegant.
After completing the circle, Qiao Zhiyan asked Qiao Yuanan: "How does it compare with your choice?"
"This place is very good. Compared with what I saw before, it was too small." Qiao Yuanan said, very satisfied with the place.
It seems that in this capital city, even if you have money to buy a house, you won't be able to buy it to your satisfaction if you don't have some connections.
Hearing this, Qiao Zhiyan smiled and said: "That's it, let's go through the formalities now and hire craftsmen to renovate it tomorrow."
After finishing the big things and holding the house and land deeds, the three Qiao brothers finally felt a sense of belonging in the capital city.
When Qiao Jingru went back, she packed a cart full of gifts and sent half of them to Qixiayuan.
"So many?" Lu Xiang was shocked when he looked at the pile of gifts in front of him.
Qiao Jingru: "That's right. Big brother said that you are now his partner after all. He can't give you gifts during the holidays. So I brought them to you when I went to Beijing this time. Thank you for finding such a good partner for them."
's house."
As she said that, she took out another account book: "This is the mine's revenue and expenditure profit for the past six months. Brother asked me to show it to you."
"You don't have to look, I trust your brother." Lu Xiang said.
Qiao Jingru smiled and nodded: "Okay."
She said she believed in her elder brother, but Lu Xiang had never had any contact with him. After all, what she really believed in was herself, Qiao Jingru thought with excitement.
The two of them were chatting wordlessly, when suddenly Yun Zhe walked in with a hurried look.
"Miss, eldest mistress, something happened in Heyuan. Aunt Liu seems to have had a miscarriage."
Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru were startled.
Qiao Jingru asked in surprise: "Why is there no child?"
They had known that Liu's pregnancy was fake, and that she would use this child to plot against them, but when she actually took action, it was a surprise.
"I just woke up from a nap and suddenly complained of stomachache. Then I started to turn red and bleed a lot. An older woman said that this was probably a miscarriage."
"Is the doctor here?" Lu Xiang asked.
Yun Zhe said: "I said I was going to invite you."
Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru looked at each other and quickly left the room.
On the way to the Lotus Courtyard, I met the old lady, her old face was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Ancestral line." Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru called.
The old lady responded and said, "You have also heard about it, right?"
"Yes." Lu Xiang replied, walking to the old lady's side and supporting her: "Grandma, don't worry, we'll see what the doctor says."
Mother Wen hurriedly nodded in agreement: "What the Third Miss said is that the old slave also advised the old lady in the same way. Maybe it is just the redness caused by the instability of the fetus, and it is not serious. I asked the old lady to wait in the room. I will go first."
Heyuan inquired about the situation and came back to report to her, but the old lady refused to go in person."
The old lady was full of expectations for the child in Aunt Liu's belly. When she suddenly heard about the miscarriage, she was very anxious. Mother Wen was also afraid that the old lady would not be able to bear it by then.
"You asked me to wait, which makes me even more anxious." The old lady said, walking quickly.
Soon, several people arrived at the Lotus Courtyard.
The entire lotus courtyard was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the maids all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Mrs. Liu's house was also crowded with people. When they saw the old lady entering the house, several aunts quickly saluted: "I've met the old lady."
The old lady saw Liu, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and the doctor who was sitting on a stool taking Liu's pulse. She strode forward and looked at the doctor nervously.
The doctor's face was solemn, and the old lady's heart gradually sank.
On the bed, Ms. Liu was moaning and groaning, which made people even more upset.
After a long while, the doctor took it back, stood up and bowed to the old lady: "As for the old lady, the child can't be saved."
"Ah...ah..." When Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately roared heartbreakingly: "My child, my child."
The old lady staggered and seemed unsteady on her feet.
Lu Xiang held her firmly and looked at the frantic Liu with a heavy look.
Fanghua asked the doctor with red eyes: "Doctor, what's going on? Wasn't it always fine before?"
"This... I can't say it either."
Ms. Liu grabbed the quilt angrily and screamed: "Someone wants to harm my child. Has someone harmed my child?"
The old lady was startled by her words: "Ms. Liu, don't talk nonsense."
According to the rules of the Lu family, no matter how hard the women in the back house fight, children are not allowed to be sacrificed, otherwise they will not be leniently spared.
Therefore, even if the Lu family has only a few heirs, the children have grown up well.
Except for Lu Yue who was driven out of the Lu Mansion for doing evil things such as killing his sisters, even if Lu Mingzhu was not liked by the old lady, the old lady would not deliberately make things difficult and torture her.
Mrs. Liu burst into tears and cried. Her pale face because of the miscarriage looked even more charming: "Old Madam Mingjian, although I suffered from severe morning sickness while pregnant with this fetus, the doctor kept saying that my fetus was stable, so why did I sleep all night today?"
I feel like I'm having a miscarriage, and it must be a villain trying to kill my child."
"This..." The old lady was stunned with shock. She subconsciously wanted to deny Liu's words, but she couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in her heart.
yes!
Although Ms. Liu was getting older and it was not easy to conceive, the doctor checked her pulse several times and said the fetus was stable.
Is it really man-made?
Who is so cruel and ruthless that he won't even spare his children?
The more the old lady thought about it, she felt a chill rising from her back, freezing the blood all over her body.
"Doctor, tell me." Qiao Jingru said at this time.
Doctor Li glanced at Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru, swallowed quietly, and said with a tight face: "There is no forceful impact, and it is indeed not like a natural miscarriage due to physical depletion, but the specific reasons need to be detailed one by one.
Check, what did my aunt eat or touch today?"
The old lady gasped so hard that her whole body was shaking with anger.
