Chapter 265 Accident

The voice was filled with resentment and timidity, and there was also a hint of grievance.

Xu Lingyi was surprised and took a closer look. It was Qiao Lianfang.

What's going on? His tone was slightly displeased.

Yanrong, who came in immediately after Qiao Lianfang, hurriedly bowed and bowed: the aunt came in suddenly and walked in a hurry, and the servants looked really frightened. They couldn't help but make a little noise, and asked the Marquis to be angry.

Just now Qiao Lianfang came in, Xiu Citron took the lead, but it was Xiu Citron who was stopped by the maids, not her.

She didn't want to get too entangled with Eleven Niang's maid on these matters, so she smiled and saluted Xu Lingyi: I haven't seen the Marquis for some time. The Marquis seemed to have lost a lot of weight. As he said this, he gently placed his hand on his abdomen.

Xu Lingyi looked at her hand and asked the maid to bring her a spoon.

Qiao Lianfang sat sideways.

Xu Lingyi said: What can you do?

Qiao Lianfang smiled and said, "I have nothing to do. I lie in bed every day, feeling bored. I go out and walk around. When I heard that the Marquis is back, I came to say hello. Then she said, what is the Marquis busy with?"

There was nothing wrong, Xu Lingyi said briefly and honestly, it was all trivial matters in the outer courtyard.

The Marquis has commanded thousands of armies, and he is indeed overqualified for things at home. Unlike my concubine, who is clumsy and wants to help the child make a shirt, and it takes seven or eight days to sew the sleeves.

As she said that, Qiao Lianfang smiled sweetly.

Xu Lingyi said nothing, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

It's not that I can't do it. When I'm at home, I often help the elders and sisters in the family with their needlework. It's just that I feel unwell and have no energy these days. Qiao Lianfang showed a somewhat disappointed look:

Although mothers said that it would be better after the first three months, the taste was really unpleasant. Her red lips were slightly pouted, and for some reason, I missed her mother’s preserved garlic very much. She had been dreaming about it for the past two days.

She dreamed about it, and when she woke up, she drooled on the pillow. As a result, nothing she ate in the past few days tasted good. She covered her sleeves and smiled, thinking about the taste of the sour and sweet garlic.

Xu Lingyi's hand holding the tea cup froze, and then he slowly sat up straight: These things should be available at home. If you want to eat, just tell the two mothers. He looked at her with slightly focused eyes.

Qiao Lianfang smiled and said: Although we have it at home, it just tastes a little different. When we soak garlic at home, we may just put frosting sugar in it. I heard my mother say that when she soaks garlic, she puts rock sugar in it.

Xu Lingyi looked at her quietly, the corners of her mouth gradually pursed into a slit.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was Qiao Lianfang's slightly delicate voice.

But soon, she noticed something strange. She unconsciously glanced at Xu Lingyi from the corner of her eye.

I saw him sitting cross-legged on the big Kang with a loose posture, his eyes slightly lowered, and his eyes fell on the thumb that was stroking the tea cup, with a condensed expression.

Qiao Lianfang felt unsure and hurriedly said: She originally wanted her mother to bring some for everyone to try. Who knew that Madam was afraid that I might have fetal motility and insisted that I rest at home. As she said that, she sighed sadly.

, Mr. Hou, I asked the two mothers. The two mothers also said that I am in good health and it doesn’t matter if I can receive guests.

Do you want your mother, Mrs. Qiao San, to come and see you? Xu Lingyi suddenly raised his head and interrupted her.

Qiao Lianfang was startled.

Xu Lingyi's expression was very calm, but what she said was a bit strange, which made her feel uneasy.

Well, she smiled sweetly while observing his expression carefully, and tried to speak as tactfully as possible, so that my mother could bring me some home-made preserved garlic. The Marquis and his wife could also try it, and so did I.

Can satisfy cravings

Madam asked you to rest, but you want to see your mother. Xu Lingyi looked at her straightly and interrupted her again. Could it be that you want to refute Madam's words?

Qiao Lianfang was stunned.

A sharp look suddenly appeared on Xu Lingyi's eyebrows: Are you trying to refute Madam's words?

This time, his voice was like a thunderous force, hitting Qiao Lianfang's heart directly.

No, I didn't. She stood up hurriedly and argued subconsciously, Mr. Hou, I definitely didn't mean this. Her face was slightly pale, I was just being greedy and didn't think much about it.

Xu Lingyi’s cold eyes, and how he clamored to see your mother even though he knew his wife wanted you to rest.

Qiao Lianfang was startled by his slightly sarcastic tone and was speechless for a moment.

There was a trace of tiredness in Xu Lingyi's brows, and she called Yan Rong: Go, invite the two mothers to come over

The wild goose responded and hurried away.

Qiao Lianfang secretly felt that something was not good.

Marquis burst into tears. He took a few steps forward and pulled Xu Lingyi's lapel. It was my concubine who said the wrong thing. I will definitely change it properly in the future. She looked up at Xu Lingyi, as sad as pear blossoms being beaten by rain.

Master, please don't lose your temper. Please don't get angry because of me.

Xu Lingyi did not move, the tiredness on his brows became stronger, and he waved his hand to signal her not to say more.

Qiao Lianfang was stunned and stared at him for a long time, speechless.

Mother Tian and Mother Wan walked in.

Xu Lingyi never looked at Qiao Lian's room again, and told the two mothers: You should serve Aunt Qiao well and raise her baby in the house. In the future, Aunt Qiao will not be allowed to step out of the yard without Madam's consent.

Marquis Qiao Lianfang was shocked and tightly grasped Xu Lingyi's lapel. I am confused, please forgive me this time. Seeing that I am pregnant with your flesh and blood, please forgive me this time.

Go back

Xu Lingyi's eyes became colder when he heard this.

The two mothers could see clearly and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Qiao Lian's room

As soon as Eleven Niang came in, Yan Rong hurriedly told her everything.

Where is Mr. Hou?

Reading in the inner room, Yan Rong whispered, Lu Yun was waiting beside him.

Eleven Niang thought for a while, then turned around in the hall: Let's go and see Aunt Qiao.

Instead of going to see Mr. Hou, I went to see Aunt Qiao first.

Yan Rong was a little surprised, but didn't dare to ask any more questions, and served Eleven Niang to Qiao Lian's room.

Zhu Rui was squatting under the eaves, fanning herself and cooking medicine. When she saw Eleven Niang, she stood up quickly, and while announcing the arrival of the lady, she came over to greet her.

Eleven Niang pointed to the medicine: This is for Aunt Qiao.

It was Zhu Rui who nodded quickly, Aunt Qiao felt a little uncomfortable.

While talking, Xiu Citron lifted the curtain and came out: Madam, you are here

There was a hint of fear in her expression, and she turned around to help Eleven Niang open the curtain and serve her into the house.

Tian's mother walked out of the inner room.

Tian’s mother, Eleven Niang took the initiative to say hello to her, is Auntie okay?

Fortunately, Tian's mother's smile was a little forced and she cried for a while. She just took a rest and everything was fine.

I feel relieved now. Eleven Niang said, turned around and sat on the Grand Master's back in the hall.

Tian's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it.

Eleven Niang saw it clearly, pretending not to know, and said softly: I heard about it just after I came back, and she came here before she had time to change her clothes. The Marquis has a short temper, and it is a special time for my aunt. The two mothers followed suit.

Feeling wronged.

Tian's mother didn't expect Eleven Niang to say such a thing, a flash of surprise flashed across her face, and then she felt warm in her heart. She hurriedly said: Madam, you're welcome. It was our errand that we didn't do well, which made the Marquis angry.

How can I say that I feel aggrieved?

It’s my mother who is too humble. Eleven Niang said politely, both mothers are old people around her, and I was specially invited to help take care of Aunt Qiao. She should be treated as a distinguished guest. If something like this happened, I

I felt very uneasy.

Madam, please stop talking. Mother Tian hurriedly said, you are really embarrassing this slave.

While the two were talking, Xiu Citron came in with tea.

Eleven Niang did not take the tea, but stood up with some helplessness: I won't drink the tea. I still want to go to see the Marquis. I will leave this place to the two mothers.

Tian’s mother hurriedly bowed to answer.

Eleven Niang left in a hurry with Amber Yanrong.

Tian's mother looked at the swaying curtain and thought for a while, then went to the inner room.

Qiao Lianfang was leaning on the big pillow at the head of the bed, her eyes as red as cherries. When she saw Tian's mother coming in, she sobbed: She left and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Mother Tian nodded.

Qiao Lianfang lay on the pillow and cried again.

Wan's mother was advising from the side: Auntie, I'm sorry for the liver. Please be patient. Auntie is not only thinking about herself, but also thinking about the young master in her belly.

Tian’s mother winked at Wan’s mother.

Mother Wan looked at her and nodded slightly, and gave some more advice. Then she excused herself to see if the medicine was ready, and left the inner room with Mother Tian.

Tian’s mother said what Eleven Niang said just now.

I respect others as much as they respect me. Tian’s mother whispered to Wan’s mother in a low voice, I think this matter should be reported to Mrs. Tai.

I've had this intention for a long time. Mother Wan nodded. To be honest, Aunt Qiao is half a master. Although we are with the Madam, we can't go beyond her. But she is determined to have her own way. It's really difficult.
To be continued...
