Looking at Mrs. Xu who was speechless, Hanqiao sneered and said, "Madam, you didn't expect that I already know everything, right?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Hanqiao with a complicated expression, and then said after a while: "Because of this, not only do you want to betray me, but you also deliberately hand over Aunt Guo to the old lady?
Hanqiao didn't expect Mrs. Xu to have such a misunderstanding, but she didn't open her mouth to explain. She just followed the flow and said, "Then should I thank Madam?"
"Hanqiao, apart from this, is there anything else we can do to you? You started to retaliate against us without asking. Don't you think you are terrible?
"Madam, what you said is really funny!" Hanqiao gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "Apart from this matter? Isn't this one enough? Madam wants me to never have children in this life, so why do you want me to ask you? Why do you ask me?
?
"When I did this, did you ever think about it, if I get married but can't have children, will I be kicked out by my husband with a divorce letter?
"When I grow old, will there be no one around me to take care of me? Will there be no one to help me after my death?"
As Hanqiao spoke, tears could not help but burst out of her eyes. Her emotions became more and more agitated, and her voice became louder and louder. She shouted at Mrs. Xu: "I have been in the Xu family for so many years and have been loyal to my wife. She
Is this how my wife treated me after my death? Just because my wife was suspicious, I drugged me. Isn’t my wife afraid that my mother’s fooling around will come to you?”
"What are you shouting!" Mrs. Xu's face suddenly turned white and she subconsciously glanced outside.
Although she had already chased away all the servants before entering, the house across the courtyard was narrow, so if the sound was slightly louder, it could be clearly heard outside.
Manqing was inexperienced and didn't know how to check if anyone was outside. She just stood on the porch outside the door and waited.
Out of Xu's sight, Grandma Liu, who had just been sent by Mrs. Shen, was standing outside the back window and could clearly hear the conversation between the two people in the room.
Hanqiao glared at Mrs. Xu and said, "Madam, it's obviously you who came to question me, but now you think I'm too loud?"
"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Xu couldn't stand Hanqiao's provocation and said angrily, "I think you didn't remember the last time you were punished by kneeling!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Hanqiao suddenly raised her hand to cover her stomach and said loudly: "Come here, come here quickly, I, why does my stomach hurt?"
Now the people outside no longer dared to pretend they couldn't hear anything, and Grandma Liu, who was eavesdropping from behind, quickly walked into the house.
She knew very well that Mrs. Shen was interested in the child. Her mission here was also to take care of Hanqiao and raise her child. If anything happened to the child, she would be responsible.
The maid Jingwen who was sent over with Grandma Liu also came out of nowhere and followed her into the house.
Aunt Liu took out a honey pill from the drawer, and Jingwen had already prepared warm water.
Cut the honey pill into several portions, knead it into small round balls again, and after serving Hanqiao to drink it, Aunt Liu said: "Madam, if I say something transgressive, Aunt Guo might be pregnant now.
Kneeling for an hour before was already very dangerous, but I didn't dare to have any major emotional fluctuations.
"If Madam has something to teach you, it would be better to wait until Aunt Guo gives birth to the child before punishing her."
Grandma Liu was brought over from her hometown by Mrs. Shen. She had been in the Shen family much longer than the Xu family. She was not afraid of things that others would never dare to say.
Mrs. Xu's face turned green and red after being told this, and she was afraid that the other party would spread these words to the old lady, so she could only explain: "I just came over to see her. Who knew she would be so excited? I, I am so excited."
Just leave.”
Before leaving, Ms. Xu took a deep look at Hanqiao and said, "It's not yet confirmed whether she is pregnant or not, so Aunt Guo still has to be careful."
Hanqiao's heart tightened when she heard this, and she quickly reached out to protect her lower abdomen.
She didn't know what Mrs. Xu had given her in the past few years, and she didn't know how capable Mrs. Tong and Dr. Zhang were, but this was her only chance.
And Mrs. Xu's meaning is also very clear. If it is discovered some time later that she has not been pregnant at all, then the future life will probably be even more difficult than before.
After Mammy Liu watched Mr. Xu leave, her expression still did not soften. She turned to Hanqiao and said, "Aunt Guo may be pregnant now, but she doesn't dare to be as willful as before.
"The old lady not only sent the old slave and Jingwen to serve my aunt, but also sent so many bird's nests and medicinal materials to my aunt's room for free. I don't need the old slave to say how much she values her children. I think my aunt also knows it.
.
"So I hope that my aunt will consider the children first in everything. Otherwise, if there is any accident, the slaves will naturally not be able to escape the lack of care. But my aunt can't explain it to the old lady, don't you think?"
After listening to Nanny Liu's words, Hanqiao stretched out her hands and tightly grasped the mattress under her body, her face, which was not very good-looking at first, became paler.
Why didn't she understand what Aunt Liu meant? If she hadn't been pregnant now, she wouldn't have been treated like this.
Aunt Liu almost pointed at her nose and said, your task is to conceive a good child, give birth to a child, and flourish the Xu family, otherwise you are nothing.
"Mommy, I understand. I must be more careful and try not to get angry or excited." Hanqiao lowered her eyes and responded obediently.
Aunt Liu's face softened slightly and her voice softened as she said, "It would be best if Auntie could understand this truth. After ten months of hard work, when the child is born, Auntie can look forward to living a good life in the future!"
"Jingwen, you are so good at taking care of my aunt. I have to go to the old lady. Now the old lady has to ask about my aunt every day!"
Aunt Liu knew how to deal with the world well. She hit her with a stick and stuffed a sweet date into Hanqiao's mouth, which meant that you don't have to feel wronged about this matter, I will go and talk to the old lady.
Hanqiao was not a ungrateful person, so she hurriedly said: "Thank you for your hard work, mama."
Grandma Liu went to see Mrs. Shen and told her all the news she had heard before.
"You mean, Mrs. Xu started drugging the young girls at home a few years ago?" Mrs. Shen heard this and opened her eyes wide in surprise.
"Old lady, this old slave heard clearly outside. The reason why Aunt Guo betrayed Madam was because she found out that she was drugging herself. It must be that the young man was impatient and suddenly felt revenge."
Mrs. Shen's face sank as Grandma Liu spoke.
No wonder the family has not had any children for so many years, which even made her vaguely suspect that her son had some hidden disease.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Xu was even more ruthless. She wanted to kill Shen Zhonglei's wife from the ground up for that bastard son of hers!
