First Concubine

Chapter 87 Turning the Tide (1)

　　In the Qingzhu Courtyard, Mrs. Yao was leaning on the soft couch. Her ashen-pale face finally turned a little rosy. She squinted and said with a smile, "Xiao Xi is really pregnant?"

Mrs. Yao nodded and said happily: "Yes, the fetus is sitting very stable, and there is nothing wrong with walking and jumping around." This was a bit exaggerated. Zhuge Xi had never jumped, but she did not dare to say that she had made Zhuge Xi jump. Zhuge Xi was pushed down and could only use another way to describe Zhuge Xi's health.

Mrs. Yao smiled more and more happily: "It's really the blessing of our ancestors. Yao Cheng finally has a legitimate son." The implication is that he wants to remarry Zhuge Xi.

Mrs. Yao also meant the same thing: "The two children have each other's hearts. When I told Xiao Xi that Yao Cheng was unconscious, Xiao Xi cried. Oh, that's so sad! I wanted to wipe my tears when I saw it! "

Mrs. Yao smiled from ear to ear. After a moment, her smile slowly stopped: "Don't tell me, from the bottom of my heart, I like Xiao Xi, my granddaughter-in-law. Her only shortcoming is that she cannot have children. Now this The regret is gone, our Yao family will take care of her as a treasure."

"That's what mother said!" Mrs. Yao agreed, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, mother. When Leng Wei didn't come to the door, I had some complaints about Xiao Xi. I always felt that she was too cruel to Yao Cheng. She asked Yao Cheng to go East, Yao Cheng did not dare to go west. She said she would eat vegetarian food for lunch, but Yao Cheng did not dare to serve meat even if she was hungry. Moreover, I heard from the maids that Yao Cheng was always waiting on her when she was washing, pinching and massaging her feet...I I’m so angry! What kind of son did I have to be? Isn’t he a one-wife slave?”

Mrs. Yao smiled faintly: "Men are afraid of women because they care about her. This kid Xiao Xi has a good heart."

Mrs. Yao nodded hurriedly: "I figured it out later. Although Xiao Xi always yelled at Yao Cheng, she was too kind to us elders, Yan Ying and Zhi Geer. On the contrary, Leng Wei... It's just a legitimate daughter who seduces a married man, but she still complains about being a concubine. What on earth is she comparing to Xiao Xi? Really?"

Seeing Mrs. Yao's silence, Mrs. Yao thought her words had offended her, so she quickly softened her tone and said, "I'm too talkative. Please forgive me, mother."

Mrs. Yao waved her hand and sighed: "What you said is not completely unreasonable. Leng Wei is indeed... not very worry-free. Everyone else is fine. She has a bad temper and a big attitude, so everyone turns a blind eye. It's okay to just close your eyes, but it's her fetus..." This is her heartache! The current situation between Yao Cheng and the Zhuge family was all caused by Leng Wei and the fetus in her belly. If the fetus was short and long, then the Yao family would have suffered so much in vain!

Mrs. Yao gets angry when she thinks of Leng Wei. Nothing can be done. She even makes the whole family worry about conceiving a child. Zhuge Xi saves trouble and wins Yao Cheng's favor.

Old Mrs. Yao found that the atmosphere in Leng Wei's house was a little depressing when she mentioned Leng Wei. She changed the subject: "When Yao Cheng wakes up, just move back to his and Xiao Xi's yard and clean up the yard for them. They are divorced, but they really love each other, who cares about this? Xiao Xi will live in Yao Mansion for now. You can choose a good day to propose marriage to Zhenbei Prince Mansion. I see that the princess is a good talker, and it happens that the prince is not here. Let’s finalize this matter quickly!”

Mrs. Yao smiled and responded: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

"Old lady, Aunt Leng, please see me." The voice of Fang's mother came from outside the door.

Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao were both startled. Why is Leng Wei here? Didn't she ask people to keep an eye on her and not allow her to run around? What should I do if my fetus moves?

Mrs. Yao closed her eyes and said slowly: "Let her come in."

Leng Wei opened the curtain and came in. She was wearing a rose-red double-breasted spring dress and a plain white floor-length moonlight skirt. Her dark hair was gently pulled into a Yao Tai bun, with shining gold hairpins and sapphire hairpins. Her whole person looked... He was very energetic and even his complexion was extremely rosy.

Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao were startled again. Mrs. Yao asked, "Weier, are you... well?"

Leng Wei bowed calmly and said with a smile: "Yes, it was just a fall that caused the fetus. It should be fine after so many days of recuperation."

Mrs. Yao pulled her and sat down on a chair beside her: "I feel relieved that you are well. Are you coming to Qingzhuyuan to see the old lady?"

Leng Weiwei's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "I came here specifically to say hello to my grandmother and mother. I thought my grandmother and mother were very worried about me. I have recovered from a serious illness, so I should naturally say hello to you."

Mrs. Yao nodded: "Although it's good, you still have to be careful."

Leng Wei blessed her body: "I will drink anti-fetal medicine on time, and I will eat well."

Mrs. Yao then showed a happy smile: "That's right." Hesitating whether to tell Leng Wei that Zhuge Xi was pregnant, she glanced at Mrs. Yao and saw that she lowered her eyelids slightly. , she swallowed the words.

Leng Wei sneered in her heart, still treating her as an outsider and not even telling her that Zhuge Xi was pregnant! She stood up and said softly: "If you don't have any instructions, I'll go back to the yard first. I'm a little sleepy."

Leng Wei left Qingzhu Courtyard, but did not return to her own yard. Instead, she turned towards Mrs. Yao's yard.

 In the side hall, Zhuge Xi met Leng Wei.

He had long heard that Leng Wei was not feeling well, but when he saw her today, Zhuge Xi felt that the rumors were untrue. Looking at her rosy face and her brisk steps, how could she be sick at all?

Leng Wei bowed to Zhuge Xi and smiled affectionately: "Cousin, are you here to visit your cousin's husband?"

Zhuge Xi shook his plain hands, remembered Shui Linglong’s reminder, and smiled lightly: “I’m here to visit your eldest young master!”

Leng Wei twitched the corner of her mouth and straightened her wide sleeves embroidered with gold edges. The rose red under her eyes stung her, but the expression on her face became softer: "Actually, I am here to apologize on behalf of my husband and cousin."

 “Apologise?” Zhuge Xi automatically ignored her “Mr.

Leng Wei suddenly showed a guilty expression: "My husband told me when he drank too much that day that your Zhuge family is too powerful, and cousin you are too strong. He has never dared to get you pregnant, just because he was afraid that one day you would After giving birth to a son, once he kicks off his legs, the entire Yao family will become the property of the Zhuge family. He also said that he can have children with anyone except you, so..."

At this point, she paused, carefully observed Zhuge Xi's expression, and found that her eyes were almost bursting with fire, and then continued, "So cousin, the reason why you haven't been pregnant for so many years is because of your cousin. "

Zhuge Xi smiled mockingly: "Oh? Then how did he prevent me from getting pregnant? I don't remember that he put Bizi soup in what I ate."

Leng Wei covered her face and snickered: "It's Guyuan Cream, cousin. The Guyuan Cream you've been taking for five years contains a conventional contraceptive that even the imperial doctor can't detect. Alas! If cousin doesn't listen to my husband so much, "If you don't eat for a few days, you might be pregnant." In the letter, the person speculated on the reason for Zhuge Xi's pregnancy.

Zhuge Xi's temples twitched. She took Guyuan Cream, but the last month's Guyuan Cream tasted different from the previous Guyuan Cream. Could it be that... the ones she took before were all contraceptives, but the last month's Guyuan Cream had a different taste. Is this the Guyuan ointment that has nothing mixed in it?

She thought of Yao Cheng's determination to risk everything to be with her, and his excitement of kissing her belly after learning that she was pregnant. She felt that she should believe Yao Cheng for once!

She didn't bother to pay attention to Leng Wei and walked directly out the door.

Leng Wei was confused. It was easy for her to provoke Zhuge Xi and Yao Cheng the previous two times. Why was Zhuge Xi unable to get along this time? She hurriedly caught up with Zhuge Xi, grabbed her arm, and added to the fire: "Cousin, you are angry, aren't you? Don't be angry. My husband actually has you in his heart, but he is just a man. , I have to choose between the family and you.”

“Let go!” Zhuge Xi said coldly.

Leng Wei pinched her harder and harder, and smiled shamelessly: "Cousin, if you promise me not to be angry, I will let you go."

Zhuge Xi frowned: "Leng Wei, there must be a limit to shamelessness. You are a legitimate daughter after all. Why do you have to send yourself to the fire pit?"

Leng Wei twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a soft smile: "Congratulations to my cousin for jumping out of the fire pit."

Zhuge Xi raised his hand to brush away Leng Wei's hand, but Leng Wei smiled coldly, pretending to stumble and threw Zhuge Xi on the soft couch not far away. Taking advantage of the opportunity of falling, she aimed her elbow at Zhuge Xi's stomach. Knocked down hard!

 “Ah—” Zhuge Xi suddenly changed his color! her children…

Everything seemed to be very slow, but in fact it happened in the blink of an eye. It was just a matter of a blink of an eye when Zhuge Xi fell, and Zhuge Xi had no time to cover it up.

Hitting your belly with your elbow will undoubtedly cause a tire slide!

Just at the last moment, Leng Wei felt pain in the back of her neck and fainted. Shui Linglong hurriedly grabbed her body to prevent her from pressing Zhuge Xi.

Zhuge Xi gasped in shock: "Is she... okay?"

Shui Linglong sighed secretly, she almost caused you to have a miscarriage, but you still care about whether she is okay?

When Leng Wei was stirring up trouble between Yao Cheng and Zhuge Xi, Shui Linglong didn't find Leng Wei so annoying! After all, Yao Cheng and Zhuge Xi came to the point of reconciliation. Shui Linglong really didn’t think Leng Wei was the most critical factor, so she never took any revenge against Leng Wei. But now she is really angry. Leng Wei herself She is a mother, but she wants to kill Zhuge Xi's child. This kind of beast is simply outrageous!

Shui Linglong suppressed her anger and said softly: "Sister, please go out first, and I will come out after going to the toilet."

Zhuge Xi looked at Leng Wei: "What should she do?"

Shui Linglong said without blushing, "Oh, it's very simple. She knew you were pregnant with Yao Cheng's child, and then she became jealous and planned to cause you to have a miscarriage. Hua Rong knocked her out from behind in time. Let's settle it like that. "

Zhuge Xi thought Shui Linglong didn’t want to get involved in this dispute, so he nodded: “Okay.”

Zhuge Xi had just taken a few steps when Shui Linglong stopped her and expressed her doubts: "I'm sure Leng Wei just wanted to cause you to have a miscarriage, but how did she know you were pregnant?"

Zhuge Xi paused, his pupils moved, and said: "The first thing she should do when she recovers is to go to Qingzhuyuan to report to Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Yao that she is safe. She must have heard the news from them. "Okay." He paused and then said, "Did you know there was something wrong with the Guyuan ointment early on, so you asked me for it?"

When the matter reached this point, Shui Linglong no longer hid it from her: "Yes, as far as I know, there is a conventional contraceptive pill that has the same period of taking as Guyuan Cream, and it does no harm to the body. It cannot be detected by taking the pulse. Yes, I had this suspicion when you told me that you had been taking Guyuan ointment for five years."

 Zhuge Xi's eyes dimmed: "If so many things hadn't happened, I would probably doubt Yao Cheng, but now... I believe him."

Shui Linglong was very relieved. The two of them reconciled and fought to the death. Fortunately, she gained an unwavering trust. Shui Linglong smiled lightly and said: "You are really grateful to Hua Rong for being pregnant. She accidentally broke it." She bought Guyuan ointment, so she secretly bought a new box because she was afraid that you would punish her. "

 Zhuge Xi was stunned for a moment, then twitched the corners of his lips bitterly: "I really don't know who hates me so much, who doesn't allow me to be pregnant with Yao Cheng's child, and who wants to hate Yao Cheng to death after the Dong Chuang incident."

Could it be...Xun Feng? This was Shui Linglong's first guess. To instigate the relationship between the Zhuge family, the Yao family and the Leng family, causing the three major families who were originally closely linked by multiple in-laws to instantly turn against each other, was very similar to Xun Feng's method. But Shui Linglong had no evidence. She privately checked the drugstore where Yao Cheng bought Guyuan ointment, but found nothing. The other party probably took care of the aftermath as soon as they heard that Zhuge Xi was pregnant. However, it has not been reported that Zhuge Xi is pregnant, so how did the other party know about it?

Zhuge Xi sighed: "Forget it, maybe as you said, the other party wanted to drive a wedge between the Yao family, the Leng family and the Zhuge family, but they chose me and Yao Cheng to be the raft. But what happened to Leng Wei? ? Could it be that she also wants to do something detrimental to the Leng family? "

Shui Linglong shook her head: "Leng Wei simply likes Yao Cheng, just a chess piece. However, Leng Wei is not normal."

Zhuge Xi blinked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Shui Linglong said thoughtfully: "Everyone in the Yao family knows that Leng Wei has a miscarriage. If not, Mrs. Yao would not send so many maids to guard her, but today...she is as healthy as a normal person. It’s terrible. The fall just now, even if it fell on the soft couch, is absolutely fatal to a pregnant woman with threatened miscarriage. "

"You mean..." Zhuge Xi hesitated and did not say the next words.

Shui Linglong's eyes flashed with meaningful light: "I suspect her child is gone."

"No? There are Mrs. Yao's maids in the house. It should be difficult for her to hide such a big thing as a tire slip." For example, she will bleed and be extremely weak.

Shui Linglong pressed her eyebrows: "This is also what I am puzzled by. Since a tire slip is a miscarriage, it usually takes many days for people to recover. If Leng Wei really slips, her complexion should not be so good in the short term. , look at the blush on her face, it’s not caused by rouge at all.”

Zhuge Xi frowned: "Maybe, she is really well."

"This... is not impossible." Shui Linglong's words were a bit untrue, but no matter whether the child was lost or not, Leng Wei would never be able to cause trouble.

After Zhuge Xi walked out of the room, Shui Linglong took out a silver needle from her purse. She didn't know martial arts or hidden weapons. This was a way to treat prisoners that she learned from Xun Feng in her previous life.

Shui Linglong turned Leng Wei sideways and stabbed the big hole on her spine!

Zhuge Xi left the gate of Yao Mansion and was just about to get on the carriage when Mrs. Yao hurried over: "Xiao Xi! What...what are you going back for? You can stay, I just ordered someone to tidy up the yard for you." alright!"

They forced her out of the Yao family in disguise because she was unable to have children. Now that she is pregnant, they shamelessly let her stay! Zhuge Xi said calmly: "I have nothing to do with the Yao family anymore. Living in the Yao family is very inconvenient."

Mrs. Yao became anxious: "Xiao Xi, if Yao Cheng wakes up and doesn't see you, he will be sad again."

“I really don’t dare to live in your house.” Zhuge Xi stopped talking and turned around to get on the carriage.

　What do you mean she dare not live in the house? She has lived there for five years and now she says she doesn’t dare to live there?

Shui Linglong was also about to get in the car. At this time, Ah Jue came over with a smile carrying a box of sweet cakes. He bowed his hands to Shui Linglong. Shui Linglong returned the half salute and said, "This is our Jiangnan fragrance." Taro cake, Miss Shui, please take it back and taste it.”

 Trying to use her again! Shui Linglong said with a half-smile, "I forgot to tell Mr. Ciao that I don't like sweet cakes anymore recently. You should keep them for yourself!"

Ah Jue was startled at first, and then full of disappointment. Ever since Zhuge Xi and Yao Cheng reconciled, Shui Linglong rarely came to Yao's house. He had never been able to find a chance to communicate with Shui Lingqing, and he didn't know how Shui Lingqing was doing recently. Okay, now I finally met Shui Linglong, but Shui Linglong rejected him!

Shui Linglong stepped on the wooden stool and got on the carriage, sat down in the carriage, opened the curtain and took a look at the lost Ah Jue, and said: "Young Master Ah Jue is not young anymore. I wonder if the Second Young Mistress has proposed marriage to you? "

Ah Jue's eyes sparkled again: "No! I'm still preparing for the scientific examination. I want to wait until I get the honors before considering marriage." Therefore, it doesn't matter that Shui Lingqing is still young, he will wait for her to grow up.

Shui Linglong sneered: "Young Master Biao is very self-aware. As the saying goes, a useless scholar is a scholar. Your family is in a low position and you have no power and power. You rely on the identity of a young Biao Master from the Yao family, which is nothing more than an embroidered pillow. It’s probably not easy to find a good marriage in the capital! You can’t let the bride have **** with you! Of course, it’s a different matter if you marry someone, but before that happens.”

Shui Linglong paused and looked at a small scar that was not very conspicuous next to his right ear, "You have to heal the scar on your face first. The nobles in the capital all looked at each other happily and said, if your appearance is ruined, your future will be ruined. Young Master, Take care of yourself!”

 The words that were mixed with guns and bullets made Ah Jue blush with humiliation. No one had ever hurt his self-esteem so directly! Every word Shui Linglong said was poking at his sore spot! How could there be such an arrogant woman in the world? !

He clenched his fists, but didn’t say a word in rebuttal!

 It’s quite tolerable.
