As the banquet was about to begin, Mrs. Wu felt a little strange. She looked around and couldn't help but frown.

Mrs. Su next to her said directly: "Hey, that's strange, why don't you see Mr. Qiao?"

Mrs. Su looked at Mrs. Wu and frowned slightly: "We are about to start the banquet, but the person has not come back yet. Otherwise, we should ask the master to send someone out to look for her? Don't get lost in the garden."

Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Su who seemed to be doing her best, but her eyes were wandering and flickering, and she clearly wanted to cause trouble. She couldn't help but frown.

"Why do you look like you have a problem with Mrs. Qiao?" Mrs. Wu couldn't hold back anymore and asked directly with a straight face.

Mrs. Su paused, then let out a breath: "To tell you the truth, I just feel that I have watched Brother Rong grow up, and it would be a shame for such a good child to be paired with a country widow.

It’s too unfair for a talented person like our Rong brother. I just feel sorry for Rong brother... She looks good on weekdays, but you see, she is from the countryside. The banquet is about to start, and she is still nowhere to be seen.

How disrespectful is this?... How can I be willing to accept such a person as our Rong brother from Zhilan Yushu?"

Mrs. Wu's expression softened slightly.

After all, deep down in her heart, she also felt that if her son didn't like her, this Qiao family would not be worthy of her Ah Rong.

Mrs. Wu whispered: "...Don't say such words again in the future. As long as Ah Rong likes it. Qiao is not bad, but she suffers from her background and has been married to others...otherwise, she can learn about character and so on.

It is blameless. Whether you are worthy or not, your child will be happy."

When Mrs. Su reached this point, Mrs. Wu was still speaking for Qiao Huaping, feeling unwilling but helpless.

The two of them were talking in low voices, and it was already time for the banquet to begin.

The maids filed in holding delicious dishes.

Sun Shike, the guard wife, smiled, said beautiful words, and invited everyone to enjoy the scenery, flowers and delicious food.

The ladies below were very happy to join in the fun. At first glance, it looked like a happy and cheerful place.

However, a maid came in in a panic, and as soon as she called "Madam", Mo Qian immediately stepped forward to stop her, showed off her lady-in-charge style, pulled the maid aside, and shouted softly: "No rules! Madam is here.

Banquet, what are you doing!"

The maid was a little anxious: "Boss Mo, please ask Madam to go with Aunt Xuejun."

Mo Qian also panicked.

Could it be that what happened in the backyard has reached the ears of the master?!

The matter involved Zhu Shoubei and the pregnant Aunt Xueyun, and Mo Qian did not dare to make any decision on her own. She could only whisper a few words into Sun Shike's ear with a pale face. Soon, Sun Shike's face turned as pale as hers.

But she managed not to lose her composure, said a few more polite words, found a reluctant excuse, and then hurriedly left with Mo Qian.

As soon as Sun Shike left, everyone immediately started whispering to each other with twinkling eyes.

The previous incident of Qiao Huaping falling into the water was quite a fuss, and it was not that no one saw it.

It's just that it's not easy for everyone to talk about this in front of the host's family.

As soon as Sun Shike left, several ladies who knew something started chatting in low voices.

Mrs. Wu was still frowning at Qiao Huaping's absence. Now she heard the two ladies beside her whispering about "falling into the water". Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked.

"Keep your voice down. I heard that an aunt in the backyard pushed a lady who came to the banquet into the pool."

"I just came here and saw many people still fishing in the pond..."

"It's so miserable! I don't know which family is so unlucky..."

Mrs. Wu suddenly raised her head, eyes wide open.

Definitely not Joe’s!

Definitely not!

Mrs. Su's eyes widened.

This... Brother Rong's destiny to conquer his wife is too harsh, right?!

This one hasn’t proposed marriage yet?!

She suddenly felt a little frightened, and thought to herself, it was a good thing she didn't tell Brother Rong about the little girl from her mother's family. In this way, wouldn't it be a waste to fill in the girl?

Mrs. Su rarely felt sincerely worried about Qiao Huaping: "...but please don't let anything happen."

Mrs. Wu could not sit still.

Her Ah Rong finally relaxed and wanted to start a family. How could she encounter this kind of thing again? She still hasn’t fished it out after so long. I guess it’s more likely to be bad than good——

Mrs. Piansu still sighed: "Even if nothing happens, it would be better if I was rescued by a mother-in-law and a maid in front of everyone, but if I was rescued by a young boy or something, my reputation..."

Mrs. Wu turned pale and scolded in a rare moment: "Shut up!"

Mrs. Su was shocked and closed her mouth angrily.

Mrs. Wu finally couldn't sit still anymore. She stood up and took the maid with her: "Let's go to the pool to have a look."

Mrs. Su followed immediately.

She had to take a good look at this excitement.

…

At the waterside pavilion by the pool, the curtains were lowered, Mei Yuan sat in the chair at the top, and Zhu Shoubei sat down with him. The atmosphere in the waterside pavilion was so solemn that one could hear the drop of a needle.

Xueyun was in the room next to Shuixie, and the doctor was diagnosing her.

After a while, the doctor walked out, washed his hands, and wiped his sweat. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhu Shoubei's face. He said in a trembling voice: "Sir, my aunt is frightened. The child, the child can no longer be saved."

Zhu Shoubei's face was ashen.

When Sun Shike came over, he happened to hear this sentence.

She was stunned for a moment, and secret joy gradually rose up from the bottom of her heart.

She thought that this could be regarded as revenge for Sister Qiao.

However, Sun Shike was still sensible. She looked as usual and stepped forward to salute Zhu Shoubei. Only then did she realize that there was an unfamiliar man sitting on the chair next to Zhu Shoubei.

The man was wearing a smart uniform. He was extremely handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, but his face was ugly. Sitting there, his whole body exuded an aura that was not easy to mess with.

Sun Shike quickly looked away.

Zhu Shoubei said: "Madam, come to see General Yi."

Sun Shike bowed as he was told, and then asked cautiously: "Husband, just now I heard the doctor say..."

Zhu Shoubei became angry when he mentioned this. He frowned and said, "You and Madam Qiao have always been on good terms. Do you know that Xue Yun pushed Madam Qiao into the lake?"

Sun Shike's face showed sadness and anger: "I have heard that Xue Yun went too far this time. Sister Qiao, Sister Qiao was killed by her! Sister Qiao has always been kind to others, and she once saved my concubine's life. In the end,

He is a kind person! Xue Yun was so cruel that he wanted to take her life!"

The more Sun Shike talked, the sadder she became. She covered her face and cried: "Husband, you have to make the decision for Sister Qiao!"

Sun Shike was crying sadly when he heard Zhu Shoubei ask in a strange tone: "Killing your life? - Who did you listen to?"
