Chapter 189
As a result, if you don't ask, you won't know. When you ask, you will be frightened.
Qiao Niang died not long after giving birth last night!
Sledgehammer happened to be nearby at the time, so Xiao Cao wanted to ask Sledgehammer what was going on.
Seeing that Xu Ruyi sent Chao Ming to ask for someone, Xiao Cao wisely let go of the sledgehammer, but let Chao Ming take the words back to Xu Ruyi.
Xu Ruyi understood what Xiao Cao meant after listening to a few words - she actually blamed Qiao Niang's death on her, and Xiao Cao even said something sincerely: "Mother-in-law knows that you don't like your elder brother.
, but if your elder brother pursues it, there is really no way to explain it!"
Xu Ruyi immediately laughed angrily at these words: "What? Is this suspicion on my head?"
Xu Ruyi didn't even bother to talk to San Yujin, so how could she have time to plan a future marriage? What's more, Xu Ruyi didn't even know when the future marriage was due!
But it is strange to say that Jing Xi planned to have a child and raise his wife. When Jing Xi gained fame, the family would be divided and she would be given a status.
But unexpectedly, Qiao Niang died during childbirth!
After Xu Ruyi heard the news, her first reaction was: "Women, you can't get pregnant and give birth easily, especially in this environment. Whether others will be willing to let you give birth is unknown."
After staying in the palace for a long time, Xu Ru has come across too many incidents where the emperor's heirs died inexplicably in the harem. This seems to be a law. If one is not careful, the child will not be saved, and in serious cases, the mother's life will also be taken.
Although he was annoyed that Mr. Cao suspected him for no reason, Xu Ruyi still reminded Jing Yu: "Have you seen the face of the capital? Someone dies every now and then, inexplicably, leaving a group of unaware people to frame each other.
.So it is not easy to live a long life in the capital. You must either die or try every means to survive. People living in the capital can only go to these two extremes."
Jing Yu has already understood this truth.
They seemed to be constantly fighting each other. Sometimes, several people who had no contact with each other would start fighting for no apparent reason. Xu Ruyi could not avoid conflicts with others. Now Jing Yu not only had to accompany her to participate in such group fights, but also had to
Protect Xu Ruyi's safety in the chaos.
He really never thought that his life would be so messy.
Xu Ruyi did not go back directly, but asked someone to bring a message to Xiao Cao.
"Tell them that Qiao Niang's matter has nothing to do with me. If you accuse someone wrongly, you need to provide evidence."
Chao Ming responded and directly informed Xiao Cao of Xu Ruyi's attitude.
Little Cao was shocked.
Didn't Xu Ruyi do it? But besides Xu Ruyi, who would kill Qiao Niang? Who has a grudge against her?
Of course, there is another candidate in front of us-San Yujin!
But it is strange to say that Chang Yujin has been running around under the nose of Mr. Cao. If there is anything strange about her, Mr. Cao cannot possibly not notice it.
So, how to deal with this matter?
Xiao Cao can't blame herself for not taking good care of her, right? Doesn't this directly enmity with Jing Xi? If Jing Xi really seizes the title, will Xiao Cao still have a good life in the future?
No, Xiao Cao is determined not to let people realize that this is her problem.
Then she must shift this responsibility to others.
This person was either Xu Ruyi or Chang Yujin. Xiao Cao could not find the third person.
Just when Mr. Cao was thinking about how to deal with this problem, another terrible thing happened!
In the early morning of the third day after Qiao Niang's death, the servant suddenly shouted at the door: "The uncle is back!"
Xiao Cao, who had been looking forward to Jing Xi's early return, almost stopped heartbeat after hearing the news of Jing Xi's return.
But before she could react, Chang Yujin had already brought him into the courtyard and said heartbrokenly: "Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale? Are you injured?"
Wasn't he injured? He was almost killed by Xu Ruyi and Jing Yu together!
He hid in the Second Prince's house to recover from his injuries for several days before he could get out of bed and walk around.
In the past few days, he had been recovering from his injuries and had not been restless. He had been thinking about Qiao Niang's delivery. It was estimated that it would be just a few days, but Xu Ruyi insisted on tossing herself to death.
Then, he must use Chang Yujin as bait and find a deserted place to deal with Xu Ruyi.
Unfortunately, he failed.
And it still failed miserably.
But he knew he couldn't die, after all, Qiao Niang was still waiting for him at home!
So, after Jing Xi came back, he kept looking for Qiao Niang. He eagerly asked Chang Yujin: "Where is Qiao Niang?!"
Chang Yujin knew Qiao Niang's status in Jing Xi's heart. Although she was not convinced by Qiao Niang, she had to admit that Qiao Niang was usually quite kind and not the master of intrigues. Moreover, she devoted all her thoughts to Jing Xi.
, no wonder Jing Xi is so infatuated with her.
But this incident left San Yujin really speechless.
Then she hesitated and said: "Qiao Niang...she gave birth to a son."
"A son was born?!"
This is a great joy for Jing Xi!
"Where is the child?"
Chang Yujin whispered: "I will take you to see it."
After saying that, Chang Yujin quickly took Jing Yu to see the child.
To be honest, the child doesn't look like Jing Xi, but looks a bit like a smaller version of Qiao Niang's appearance after sleeping in the open air.
The child's face is dark yellow, his eyes are small but widely spaced, his head is large, and he stares at Jing Xi with a pair of small eyes.
Although others may think this child is fragile and difficult to live with, Jing Xi likes him very much.
But the next moment, he realized a problem.
"Where's Qiao Niang?"
Jing Xi's question frightened Chang Yujin. Chang Yujin knew that Xiao Cao was trying to find a way to shift the blame recently. If she couldn't trick Xu Ruyi, then she would choose to trick Chang Yujin.
way to protect yourself.
Simply, Chang Yujin said bluntly: "I heard from my mother-in-law that it seems that Princess Zhaorong killed Qiao Niang."
"What?!"
Jing Xi can’t believe it!
Qiao Niang is dead?!
As if he heard a joke, he hurriedly asked: "Ms. Chang, haven't you learned to be responsible for your words yet?"
San Yujin couldn't stand up anymore and replied with a trembling voice: "I have been taking care of Qiao Niang with all my heart. I thought that I would be able to relax a little after she gave birth. I never thought that she would be killed by Princess Zhao Rong. Now
The person has been gone for three days..."
As Chang Yujin said this, he started to cry aggrievedly.
Jing Xi couldn't see the body, so he always felt that his family was joking.
He worked so hard to get back here, how could Qiao Niang just leave?
This is impossible!
Throughout the afternoon, Jing Xi couldn't believe this fact.
