Chapter 18: I don't believe she can cover the sky with just one hand
Qiao Yuyan looked at the relationship between her mother and Aunt Pei with cold eyes, feeling a little headache. From this, it seems that the relationship between the two is quite good?
Mrs. Xu didn't seem to be wary of Aunt Pei at all. In a big family, how could the relationship between wives and concubines be so harmonious?
Although the old lady didn't like Mrs. Xu very much, she couldn't be called annoying. She was initially complaining, but now that she heard that she was pregnant, she couldn't care less.
The old man even stood up to greet his wife, "You are too careless. How come you don't know about such a big thing as pregnancy?"
An heir was a big deal, and Mrs. Xu felt a little guilty, so she quickly supported the old lady's hand, "It's my daughter-in-law who was careless. It was more than ten years ago that Sister Yan was born, and there was no reaction to this pregnancy, so she never
Think about it."
"Okay, okay, it's a good thing to be safe. Don't come here in the morning and evening. It's getting hot. It's not worth the gain if you run back and forth until you're tired."
The Ninghe Hall was lively and harmonious. The old lady gave orders to almost everyone. Even Qiao Weisheng, the patriarch, got a lot of words.
It is certainly a good thing that Mrs. Xu is pregnant, but not everyone is happy. For example, Mrs. Yao, the second wife, the smile on her face seems a little forced now.
"I heard that my sister-in-law is pregnant, and I feel relieved. Our family is just waiting for a baby to come out of my sister-in-law's belly! But we must be careful, especially in the first three months." Yao Ming.
She was smiling but not smiling, which looked awkward, but she finally brought the topic to what she wanted to say, "How many months are you pregnant, sister-in-law?"
With this sentence, the atmosphere in Ninghe Hall suddenly dropped.
Although there are dozens of miles between Yuehua Temple and Yuehua Temple, the message transmission back and forth is enough.
The old lady's face looked a little ugly at that moment, Qiao Weisheng even put away her smile, and Mrs. Xu lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Qiao Yuyan looked at the Yao family. It seemed that the second wife's hands were not short. There were people from the Yao family beside them.
"Grandma!" Qiao Yuyan stepped down from her seat first and saluted the old lady above her, "My granddaughter wants to ask for a favor from you."
Seeing that the old lady didn't answer, she didn't care, and continued: "My granddaughter thought, although our family is not a royal family, if there is a person with a headache and fever, we will ask the imperial doctor, but now the baby in my mother's belly is very important to us.
It's really important. If we can take advantage of the old lady's favor and invite an imperial doctor to take a look at it, the superiors won't think we are arrogant."
"Dr. Zhang and Dr. Sun, who were originally used by our family, were unable to diagnose clearly even after a month. It really makes people doubt the medical skills of outside doctors." Qiao Yuyan looked worried, "I am really worried too, so I feel shameless.
Pi Di spoke to the old lady."
The old lady really doesn't like Qiao Yuyan. This granddaughter hasn't been around for a long time, and her temper is not what she likes. She was brought up by the old lady of the Xu family, so she never bothers to talk to her.
But now these words spoke to her heart. Naturally, she had also heard about the incident at Yuehua Temple today.
It is impossible to say that there are no knots in my heart, but Mrs. Xu is the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest family. How could she be so disrespectful to her face? The second roommate, who is so inconspicuous, said it to her face like this, and actually made her angry for a moment.
There was no more words to say.
Qiao Yuyan's words relieved her troubles, and she nodded with a smile: "That's the truth. Even with the anti-fetal medicine, I trust the imperial doctor more."
After saying that, he told the nanny next to him to ask the imperial doctor for his post, and then drove everyone else out, leaving only Xu and Qiao Weisheng.
Yao wanted to stay and see the result. If Xu was really a bastard, it would be exciting.
It doesn’t matter if the eldest son doesn’t have a son, she does!
After waiting a few more years, Qiao said that Sheng was getting too old and couldn't have a son even if he wanted to. Didn't the earl want anyone to inherit? Both girls were going to marry into other people's families. After all, they would end up in this situation.
On their second wife?
It happened that Mrs. Xu was pregnant at this time. Even if there was only a one-half chance of having a son, she still felt a sense of crisis.
The eldest brother has been silent for more than ten years, and the second brother has long regarded the title as his own.
But the old lady drove them away, and Yao had no choice but to angrily take them back.
Qiao Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief. She would not believe that Aunt Pei's people could bribe the imperial doctor! Even if they bribed the imperial doctor, she was not afraid. As long as Master Jingxian's words were there, Qiao Weisheng would not be able to do so easily.
I really believe that Mrs. Xu is one month pregnant.
As long as you don't completely believe it, it's easy to say. Is it possible that all doctors can be bribed? If Aunt Pei really had that ability, what kind of aunt would she be sitting in the backyard of the Qiao family?
Everyone in Ninghe Hall dispersed and went back to their respective houses. Qiao Yuyan also returned to Qingxitai.
From the time she returned to this time the day before yesterday to now, so many things had happened in just two days, and she had barely slept for two hours.
The first night I was thinking about all the things about my rebirth and I couldn't sleep at all. The second night I squinted in Xu's bed in Qilizhuang for an hour, and then hurried back to Yuehua Temple.
She originally planned to rest more, but when she heard the existence of the cousin Xiao mentioned by Mrs. Xu, she no longer felt sleepy at all, and headed out the door against the morning star.
So no matter how tired she was at this time, she knew that what she should do now was to have a good rest, otherwise her mind would be confused and she wouldn't be able to do anything well.
In Qingxi Terrace, all the maids were standing in the courtyard, waiting for their master to return.
The news of my wife's happiness was known to the whole family, and the old lady was very happy. Everyone rewarded her with two months' worth of money, which shows that they attach great importance to the child in my wife's belly.
My daughter is the eldest daughter by direct marriage. If my wife gives birth to a son, my sister's status will naturally rise.
So when they heard that the girl was back, the waiters were also very smart. They all stood together in the yard and congratulated her as if they were free of charge.
The grandmother of the Xu family took great care of Qiao Yuyan. When she came back from the south, she brought a dozen or twenty useful people to her.
When they arrived at Qiao Mansion, the old lady looked at her, but she only thought that her relatives were competing with her in the ring, and a bunch of people followed her.
Therefore, Cheonggyidae is probably the courtyard with the most servants and the most idlers.
At this moment, everyone was crowded together to congratulate each other, and the scene was quite frightening. This seemed to explain Qiao Yuyan's arrogant temper.
Not to mention Qiao Yuning, even in the Xu family's courtyard, there were not so many people!
Grandma Wang was happy, so she said a few words, and then helped the girl go back to the room to rest. Unexpectedly, Qiao Yuyan came over, glanced over the faces of these people, and suddenly squinted her eyes slightly, as if she saw something she didn't want to see.
