Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 636: The most poisonous woman’s heart

In the west wing of the attic,

Li Wan asked casually,
This made several people in the room feel shocked. After all, Mrs. Houfu was Qin Keqing, the head of Chang'an County. The woman looked gentle and lovely, but they knew that this woman was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She was a powerful person.

Especially Li Wan frowned and remained silent for a long time, staring at the uneasy sister-in-law in front of him. Wang Xifeng shook his head and said;
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. Only the old lady and her second daughter, Yue'er, know about this matter. Shu'er doesn't know about it, but the county lord's wife doesn't. Sister-in-law, what happened?"

Seeing Wang Xifeng shaking his head, Li Wan's face relaxed, and his somewhat complicated expression flashed away without any explanation.

"Tell her to come over and check our pulses."

"Alright."

Before Wang Xifeng could react, she had to take her pulse no matter what. Now she still thinks that Mrs. You left the seed.

Gu Zixiang remained silent. Before leaving, Sister Lan had told her not to ask, not to tell, just remember who it was.

He took out a ball of white brocade cloth from the medicine box, spread it on the table, then took Mrs. You's right hand, checked her pulse, and shook her head for a moment.
"Madam is a little weak and her energy and blood are not strong. She needs to replenish her body."

suddenly,

At this moment, Wang Xifeng suddenly became alert and looked back at her sister-in-law Li Wan. She covered her mouth and was at a loss. If Mrs. You was fine, then her sister-in-law Li Wan must be pregnant. What should we do?
Gu Zixiang didn’t know either of them.
Then he put Li Wan's right hand on the brocade cloth and took his pulse. After a while, he had the number in his mind.

Wang Xifeng's mind was a little confused and she didn't know how to answer. Things were a little sudden.

The girl next to her, Suyun, replied with a guilty face and red eyes;
"Second Grandma, it's all my slave's fault. The medicine I went to get was replaced by the shopkeeper."

When Gu Zixiang withdrew his hand, Ping'er behind him asked eagerly;

"Second Grandma's body and bones are fine, but she suffered from severe colds in the past, which damaged her internal organs. Her Qi was weak and it was difficult to conceive a child. Although she was diagnosed and treated by famous doctors later, the root cause was not eradicated."

The others still didn't know what they meant. Gu Zixiang nodded and looked at one person and two people. She continued to check the pulse and pressed elsewhere.

Wang Xifeng knew that her sister-in-law was doing it for her own good, so her stomach didn't move, and she felt uneasy and somewhat hopeful.

"Girl, take Feng Yatou's pulse and see how she is."

"Sister-in-law, do you have any ideas?"

Mrs. You's face turned red. After being tortured by the Marquis that night, she had been feeling uncomfortable for several days. She hadn't eaten much and was a little tired.

"Is there a cure?"

"How is it?"

but,

"you,"

Li Wan withdrew his hand, looked up at Wang Xifeng, reached over, took her hand and placed it on the brocade cloth.

With a thought in his heart, the words of the Hou Mansion's aunt came to his ears again. Looking at Li Wan who was not panicked, he continued to ask;

With this remark,
Li Wan's expression was complicated, he couldn't escape after all.
"Sister-in-law, don't you drink Bizi Decoction every time? How can you still get pregnant?"

"Madam, her body and bones need nourishment, and she also has some in her belly. Judging from her pulse, she is a young man."

"What are your plans, sister-in-law? The Jia family is not stable now,"

Wang Xifeng couldn't bear it any longer. Her eldest sister-in-law had always been shrewd, so why was she confused about this matter.

"Yes, I have a recipe that will be effective in half a year."

Gu Zixiang waved her hand. This was not a difficult disease. She took out her pen and ink and wrote it directly.

Wang Xifeng endured her excitement and realized that this was the case. She recalled that when she was a child in Jinling, she accidentally fell into the water while playing in Jinghu Lake and fell ill. This should be the root cause of the disease at that time. She had seen so many doctors who treated the symptoms but not the root cause. Every time When it’s cloudy and rainy, it’s always uncomfortable.
"Here, take it and put it away, but you have met a miracle doctor."

Wang Xifeng, whose face was full of joy, took the golden hairpin from her head and inserted it into the little girl's head. Her face was so beautiful that she was about to cry.
"Okay, I think Madam Wang from the Marquis' Mansion is really amazing. I don't know where she found this. You can slowly take care of her and you will eventually get what you want."

Li Wan also beamed with joy. It turned out that this girl's medical skills were comparable to those of imperial doctors. She was indeed from a noble and wealthy family.

"Sister-in-law, do you have any ideas?"

Wang Xifeng was naturally grateful. She really didn't think of checking herself out. If her sister-in-law hadn't done this, she would have missed it.
"Girl Feng, I won't hide it either. Lan Ge'er wants to take the exam for Enke. Whether or not he succeeds in the future, I plan to go to the old house, just to study with Lan'er.

As for this child, it belongs to Sister-in-law You. At a critical moment in the Dongfu matter, it is time to think about Sister-in-law You. With this child, she will be able to share some of the family property. Life will be easier in the future, and this child is also available. Returning home,"

Wang Xifeng did not expect that Li Wan would think like this, but how could the Marquis Mansion be willing to act like this? Even if the Ningguo Mansion changed its title, Sister-in-law You would have trouble living with the Marquis taking care of her.

"Sister-in-law, if Mrs. Houfu Wang knows about it, she probably won't be willing."

After thinking about it, I don’t know how to speak.
Li Wan sighed, "We still need girl Feng to help. Although the Hou Mansion is big, there are many wives and concubines. How can I bear to send a concubine with no status? Think about Brother Huan and Brother Zong in Rongguo Mansion." You know, living with my sister-in-law will not be a good life."

Li Wan's love for licking the calf shocked the two of them. Wang Xifeng smiled bitterly. She was in charge of the house, so she didn't know how Jia Huan and Jia Zong looked in the Duke's house. Apart from their status, there was no place for them to talk, whether they were helping or not. Help, I felt embarrassed, looking at my sister-in-law’s pleading expression,
Who can not feel compassion? Madam You looked at all this and suddenly said;

"Feng girl, at this juncture, I am begging you. It seems that you should know more than me about Dongfu. Although I have the title of wife now, Ningguo Mansion belongs to the Jia family after all. Where will I go from now on? If you are qualified to live there, you will have to live alone for the rest of your life.
I have never had any children in this life. I met a fortune teller in my early years who told me that my destiny was not there. I must have some thoughts after all. With this opportunity, God has given me a good opportunity. If you don’t take it, you will suffer. I recognize this child and I will look forward to it in the future. Damn it, girl Feng, how about you show your kindness and help me once. "

Madam You spoke with tears streaming down her face, a sad look on her face, and her heart-wrenching words made the listeners heartbroken. Everyone in the room couldn't help wiping away their tears.

Although Wang Xifeng felt the same at this time, she was thinking about the matter rapidly in her heart. If the child, regardless of whether it was true or false, just entered Madam You's belly and gave birth to a boy, if she let the Hou Mansion help her, she would hide it from the truth.

No matter what happens to the Ningguo Mansion, or even if he inherits the title, wouldn't the east and west mansions be in his hands, especially since the family property is all under the name of the East Mansion? Thinking of the arrogance of the second wife, the greed of the eldest wife, and Jia Lian How can I endure the weakness and unwillingness in my heart?

Looking at the two sisters-in-law in front of me, there was a strange look in their eyes.

"Sister-in-law You, it depends on what you said. As long as you are willing and Feng Yatou agrees to this matter, this child will be yours. That's it for the three of us."

Li Wan felt a little worried when he saw that Feng Yatou was so easy to talk to.

"What Miss Feng said is true. How should the Marquis' Mansion respond?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll be the one to say that. Now that it's been agreed, you must be careful in your actions in the future. Besides, it's also my selfishness. Sister-in-law You, you have been the head wife of Ningguo Mansion for so many years. I will not care about you in the future." How about you, are you really willing to leave Ningguo Mansion and live alone outside, even though you have the Marquis, this life without fame and status may not be easy. "

There was something in Wang Xifeng's words, as if to wake up Mrs. You. Mrs. You looked hesitant. Thinking about it carefully, how could she let go after staying in Ningguo Mansion for so long? Every flower and grass in the mansion was not taken care of by her own arrangement. This wife's identity makes her really reluctant to part with her.

As for Nuo Da's house in Ningguo Mansion, he couldn't just let it go. Li Wan, who was beside him, saw Feng Yatou asking this question with a thoughtful look on his face, so he asked first;
"Girl Feng, please stop making riddles. Since you said that, just say what you have in mind. It's just this, how can it be any worse?"

Li Wan also thought about it. If you don't follow the path pointed by God, you won't be able to get pregnant. You can get pregnant even if you are careful. It's weird how you make mistakes.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I just have an idea. Since the child belongs to Sister-in-law You, if Brother Dongfu Zhen doesn't come back, Brother Rong may not be qualified to inherit the title. In this way, whoever has the opportunity now, forget it. All in all, they are the children of the two houses.

Jia Lian is the direct grandson of Rong Guo Mansion, let alone that. There is also Jia Qiang in Ning Guo Mansion, and the rest are all in Rong Guo Mansion. According to the eldest sister-in-law, those born from concubines are not loved or loved. There was only one person who was remembered by the old lady. All the public property of Rongguo Mansion was in the hands of the second wife. If she went to Dong Mansion, her life would be difficult. "

Although Wang Xifeng did not mention the second wife and the old lady by name, no one present was allowed to know that Jia Baoyu was the lifeblood of the old lady.
Li Wan thought for a while, not to mention the large number of people in the Jia family, there were thousands of people inside and outside. They were all descendants of the collateral line, so they could only watch the fun. These were the direct descendants of Ning Rong and Rong. Excluding the concubines, only Jia was left. Baoyu suddenly thought in his mind that Jia Lan was also the great-great-grandson of his second wife, so he should give all the good things to Uncle Bao.

"You mean Jia Baoyu, he's the only one, but Lan Ge'er is also his direct grandson, so what?"

"Oh, my sister-in-law is confused. After all, we are a generation apart. How can a grandson have a son? If he gives it to Lan Geer, what will Uncle Bao do?"

Wang Xifeng didn't give Li Wan any illusions at all. According to the second wife's thoughts, she might be thinking about going to Ningguo Mansion now. Only Youshi had a wry smile on her face. Speaking of which, in the past, she still thought that Jia Qiang could compete, but it seemed that she couldn't. It's just a fool's errand, unless you respect me, huh? By the way, Mr. Jing is still here.

After calming down, I feel that Feng Yatou's idea is right, but the variables are too big.

"Girl Feng, Mr. Xuanzhen Guanjing is still here outside the city. Do you think there will be any changes? If Jia Baoyu inherits the title of Ningguo Mansion, he will still have to adopt one. The things involved are not as simple as they say."

Wang Xifeng was obviously stunned after hearing this, and finally ignored Mr. Jing. If Mr. Jing came, Jia Baoyu would lose the chance, and he would have a suspicion in his heart.
"Sister-in-law You, it's all up to you. The second wife has only one son, Jia Baoyu, and she is neither salty nor indifferent to Brother Lan. When she went to Dongfu, she not only wanted to adopt him, but also moved her family to live with him. I respect the master. I don't know what her thoughts are, but I can guess what my aunt is thinking. She just wants to take advantage of her.

In this case, why can't we wait until the baby in the belly is born before making a decision? If it's a boy, he will marry Jue. If it's a girl, well, Lange'er can be considered a direct descendant, and there will still be a fight. "

Wang Xifeng made up his mind to fight. If nothing else, the peaceful life that Rongguo Mansion can live now is not managed by himself. When the time comes to integrate the industries of the two mansions, how can he still be controlled by others, especially the Jia family members who are partial to the younger brothers? , it’s time to put it to use. Thinking of this, I actually came up with a plan in my heart. Rumors can sometimes kill people.

Behind him, Ping'er was horrified, but kept silent. He thought of his grandmother's cruelty in the past, and how the sisters who came with her as a bride in the early years were still scattered, so she lowered her head in fear.

Mrs. You's face looked a little unnatural. This was trying to dig into the foundation of the Jia family. She just wanted to live a better life. When she was hesitant, Li Wan suddenly took Mrs. You's hand.

"Sister-in-law You, although these are discussions between the three of us, they are all matters related to ruining one's reputation and one's family and life. Now that it has reached this point, the arrow has to be fired.

If you take a step back, you may be doomed. Not to mention that Baoyu has passed, even if Jia Rong is still there, or Jia Qiang inherits the Ningguo Mansion, your affairs can still be hidden. Sister-in-law Yiyou's appearance and figure, and the nature of the Jia family are hard to change. After a long time, a person who is full of energy will inevitably lose his mind. What will my sister do then? "

Mrs. You was shocked by Li Wan's advice. These were indeed words from the bottom of her heart. Thinking of the past, Brother Rong looked at her and looked at her sensitive parts. How could she not feel it? Because of her face, no one told her. But why does Li Wan know this? It's natural to look at Feng Yatou. Could it be that there are other men in the Jia family who have plans for the two of them?

"You two are right. If this is the case, then I will admit it. I shouldn't hesitate. After all, Mr. Jing still doesn't know what the situation is. You must fight. If it doesn't work, I will take the child with me. It’s also good to go outside and purify yourself for the rest of your life.”

"Sister, look at what you said, this child is always a favorite no matter where he is, how can he endure those grievances? Sister, if you really fall into that situation, you can't save the child. How can my aunt, Mrs. Wang, You may let go, so you only have one way, which is to secure your position as Madam in Ningguo Mansion,"

There was a hint of persecution on Wang Xifeng's face. She had no way out and could only survive in death.

Li Wan and Mrs. You didn't expect that Feng Yatou would be so courageous. She wanted to occupy Ningguo Mansion. This was beyond the imagination of the three of them. But when they came back to their senses, they finally felt that what Wang Xifeng said made sense and they wanted to live a stable life. , you need to be like the old lady,
"How to do it?"

"What else can I do? Let the limelight go out in the past few days. I will arrange the doctor's affairs.
When the time comes, Sister-in-law You, just stay peacefully and don't interfere with the affairs of the house. The old lady can just keep it a secret. When the month is over, fill her stomach with something and I'm sure she won't be able to see it. As for the elder sister-in-law, , the matter of Lange'er entering school is an excuse to find a chance to return to his old home, preferably this time Enke, if Langeer can win the exam, the chance will be much greater, and if he sends a letter to the Hou Mansion for help, who dares to ask. "

Wang Xifeng settled the matter in a few words, and everyone in the room felt at ease.

"Then it's settled, over to the Marquis Mansion."

"I'm going now. You guys can rest in peace. Suyun and Yindie'er. When you go out from now on, you must be strict with your words and have a little wink. If you need anything, go to me directly."

"Yes, grandma."
