Chapter 121 Helpless
Where could Yuzhu still sleep? She suddenly thought of a very terrible situation——
Could it be that the emperor collapsed?
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't fall asleep, so I just got up and sat in a daze.【fei su zw26nbsp;】
Hua Ruo's face was frightened, and he was quite confused: "Madam, is this going to be a good thing? Otherwise, send someone back to ask the madam and the master."
"How to go back? We haven't established our footing yet, and everything is still dark. The people we sent haven't even left the door yet. I'm afraid the old lady and sister-in-law have received the news, and the marriage is coming.
My husband's family is still thinking about my mother's family all day long. How can I be this daughter-in-law after you ask me to have sex?" Yu Zhu immediately shook his head in denial, pondered for a moment, then turned to ask Hua Ruo: "How did you know about the person coming from the palace?"
Seeing that his master was so calm, Hua Ruo also calmed down a little: "It was a boy from the outer courtyard who knocked on the door of our courtyard, and the mother-in-law on night duty reported it."
"That means the old lady must know it now." Yu Zhu took a small breath and said with a smile: "Then let's go to the old lady's yard now. You can quickly find me some plainer clothes.
come over."
Hua Ruo didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he just went on his way obediently.
With several thoughts running through Yu Zhu's mind, he changed his clothes and hurried to the old lady's Siqian Hall.
Today is not a formal day, and my husband is not in the main room, which saves me a lot of trouble.
The inner room was already brightly lit, and when Yu Zhu stepped in, she saw that Ms. Xie was simply wearing a brown trousers with a homely Ruyi Tuan pattern, and there was no hairpin on her head. Although her face was still calm,
But a trace of anxiety in her eyes still did not escape Yu Zhu's eyes. She blinked her eyes. Could it be an illusion? Why, in this room full of warm and bright lights, she actually felt a little belonging in this unsmiling, cold and serious mother-in-law.
Mother's softness.
"Bring the second wife a cup of hot tea." A faint command instantly woke Yu Zhu up from his daze.
"Old lady." Yu Zhu finally worked up his emotions and said with red eyes: "The second master was announced to the palace for some reason. Do you know what happened?"
Seeing Yu Zhu's expression of wanting to cry but holding back but not daring to cry, Ms.
Something like this happened in Japan...
"Don't cry. The sky is falling and there are still tall people holding it up... It's not that serious. I'm afraid the emperor is unwell. The person who just inquired came back and said that all the imperial doctors who were not on duty had gone from home to the palace, and
Everyone is in a panic, and they don't seem to be waiting for a while. It shouldn't be a fatal matter, otherwise, with their shrewdness, they wouldn't rush to die." Xie's voice was neither fast nor slow at all times.
, showing a strong calmness, although Yu Zhu was not really afraid, but after hearing these words, a little bit of anxiety in his heart disappeared a lot.
Facts have proved that ginger is still spicier with age.
When the day was about to dawn, Cheng Xunxun returned to Cheng Guogong's Mansion. After all, he had entered the palace for the first time. His stern brows were a bit colder than before. The maid brought hot tea to him. He raised his head and drank it in one gulp, and hurriedly met the old lady.
He nodded, smiled at Yuzhu again, and then went to the outer study room with his old man and Cheng Xungong, who had been waiting for a long time.
Mrs. Xie also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was an elderly person. She barely slept all night, relying on her strength to support her. Now that she was relieved, she felt a little overwhelmed, so she was helped by Yang's mother to the inner room.
Mr. Gong and Yu Zhu stood up and sent them off respectfully. After the old lady left, Ms. Gong smiled and said, "God bless me. My two younger siblings must have been frightened too."
Yuzhu smiled but did not answer.
"It's not that my sister-in-law talks too much. Although a woman can't do anything important, she can't just cry when she has to take on responsibilities. Otherwise, she wouldn't be worthy of being a legitimate wife. You have to know that there are a lot of good-looking concubines." Gong
Shi smiled lazily and looked critically at Yu Zhu's somewhat bad bun and complexion.
"Yes." Yu Zhu said modestly: "Compared to my sister-in-law, I am still far behind my sister-in-law. Thank you for your advice. I will definitely work hard in the future."
Gong's smile froze. It felt like there was a ball of cotton around these siblings, which made people a little confused. It was such a pity to have such a rare opportunity to be alone today...
"I don't dare to take it seriously. We are all a family, and I hope you will be well." At this time, Mingyu beside Gong gave a slight cough. After hearing this, Gong immediately stood up and said with a smile: "Don't worry.
There are a lot of things going on at home, and my sister-in-law has other things to deal with, so I’ll excuse you now.” After that, he left quickly.
Seeing that there was no one around, Yu Zhu also returned to his Qingfuyuan.
After closing the door, Mother Ruan who was standing by the side hesitated and said: "Madam, if I take a closer look, this eldest lady seems to be in bad health. This... how is this possible? A woman's body is so important.
, all the ladies are afraid that the maintenance is not good, why is it still like this? Could it be that it is involved in the fight in the back house? "
"Yesterday, I went to the big kitchen to inspect the plate of two-color bean cakes that the second master bought. I happened to see the two maids of the eldest wife making medicine in the kitchen. It smelled like dendrobium and the like, which should be used to aid pregnancy."
Mother Xie spoke at the right time and added: "I'm afraid the eldest lady just went to take medicine."
Ruan's mother was a little gloating: "No matter how it came about, this kind of thing is a toss-up. Some broken bodies can be cured after a while, and some have to drink medicine for a lifetime. It doesn't matter if you soak in the medicine jar."
I thought about it, spat, I deserve it." She had long been dissatisfied with that old lady who didn't have a nice word to say.
Ms. Cui has also inquired about the Gong family, but there is very little information for some reason, but it does not seem to be a wealthy family. Although she is somewhat related to the old lady Xie, the relationship between them is as thin as a layer of paper.
The uncle of the Cheng family has already burnt incense for his ancestors to fill the house, and he still has nothing to do but provoke him all day long.
Yu Zhu was not interested, so he took the cold water handkerchief handed over by Yuan Yuan and wiped his forehead and eyebrows to clear his mind a little. He said casually: "It must have been five years since she came here. It has been so long that she is not a son, and she is not even a daughter."
No, if the uncle didn’t let her have the baby in order to keep the age difference between the eldest son and the second son, then she couldn’t have the baby...there’s nothing surprising about it.”
"But..." Yu Zhu put down the handkerchief, "Maybe her life is too sad, so her brain is different from other people's. It has only been two days since I first entered the house, and everything has gone wrong in her eyes. She really thinks that I am a fool.
It won't work." He was very tired last night and didn't sleep well. Yu Zhu's temper at this moment is definitely not good.
"Yes, yes, yes, madam, please don't get so angry that you get pregnant with a brother before the eldest wife, so that she can be mad at you." Ruan's mother had a round and rosy face, and her eyes narrowed with laughter.
Mother Jie patted Mother Ruan with one hand and said angrily: "You are such an old lady, you have forgotten that the young lady is only fifteen this year." She had already received the instruction from Mrs. Cui, and she must not impregnate the young lady before the age of sixteen, otherwise her body would not be fully mature.
If it grows long, it will hurt the body, and the child will be weak and difficult to survive.

In the study, three men were sitting with solemn faces.
The old man gently stroked the short beard under his chin with one hand and said thoughtfully: "Are you sure? Are you sure the emperor has about three months left?"
Cheng Xunxun straightened his back, "Yes, I used a few lines that were buried before. There is no mistake. But this is not certain. The emperor is very weak. If there is another dangerous attack like last night, I am afraid that this day
More..."
"Although the emperor succeeded to the throne smoothly back then, he also used some tricks. Now he is lying in bed, naturally afraid of the recurrence of the past... Second brother, you must pay special attention to it in the future. The emperor has become more and more suspicious in recent years. You must
Be careful not to hit him." Cheng Xunggong looked concerned, "No matter what you do, you must make the emperor feel at ease."
"Your elder brother is right." The old man also nodded.
Cheng Xunxun said solemnly: "I plan to make a statement tomorrow, saying that there have been many affairs in the capital recently and asking the emperor to send another person to assist."
The old man and Cheng Xungong looked at each other and agreed.
"Well, these days, Concubine An has been very quick with her actions. Several aristocratic families have secretly turned to the fourth prince one after another. The fifth prince was already a little weaker, and now it's even worse." My husband didn't want to participate in the fight for the heir.
He wanted to fight, but he had a daughter and a daughter-in-law, so he couldn't escape at all.
Cheng Xunggong snorted coldly: "Humph, once the emperor falls, Concubine Shu is vulnerable. In terms of means and background, she is inferior to Concubine An by an unknown amount. Life in the palace has not been easy recently." There is such a mother.
It’s better not to have a concubine at all. The fourth prince still has a few younger brothers to follow and support him, but the fifth prince has a lot of resentment because Concubine Shu has doted on the harem all these years. Under Concubine An’s deliberate planning, most of the concubines are against her.
His hatred was so deep that it would be nice not to add insult to injury at this time. How could anyone help? Coupled with the family power of these palace concubines, the situation of the fifth prince in the outer court was even worse. Now, except for the Jiang family who was trying hard to run around and
Not long ago, he was almost isolated outside the family due to his extensive efforts to enrich the backyard.
"Now that you know it, you should be a little more measured when doing things outside." Hearing this, Cheng Xun Gong and Cheng Xun Xun looked solemn, and they were both a little surprised.
"Father, do you want to take sides?"
"You can't say that." There was a hint of slyness on the old man's rich face, "You are not stupid, so you shouldn't need to say more as a father. The second brother should treat your wife better. It is very likely that our family will have to deal with it in the future.
Rely on your wife."
There was some darkness in Cheng Xunxun's eyes, and he was silent for a long time before replying: "I know, but eldest sister..." He knew that although the old man was confused about some things, he was always clear about matters in the temple, and he couldn't be more cautious and alert this time.
Now that he has made it clear that he is optimistic about the fourth prince, what about the sister who marries into the Jiang family? No matter what, it is always the blood of direct relatives...
A trace of disapproval flashed in the old man's eyes, "When a woman's benevolence reaches that point, it will be good if the Jiang family can maintain its superficial glory. How dare you offend another member of our family? Besides, Yun'er has renewed the incense of the Jiang family and served the old Marquis."
After observing filial piety, the Jiang family dares to get divorced. Besides, now is the time to worry about such things. It is more serious to go back and think about the details to be presented tomorrow..."
Cheng Xunxun sighed and said nothing more...
Is it safe for a woman to regard her husband as her heaven and not to be abandoned? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and reward at Qidian.com (). Your support is my greatest motivation
