Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 243 The Xie family has only one son

Xie Mansion, Ning Menghuo, Lin Mengyao just woke up, with a nearly seven-month-old belly, she was always sleepy, probably fell asleep for eight of the twelve hours a day.

Lin Mengyao attaches great importance to her belly. Several doctors have confirmed that she will definitely have a boy in this pregnancy. What does this mean?It means that this child is destined to be noble from birth. Like Xie Zi'an, he is the legitimate son of the Xie family, far from being able to compare with Xie Zirui, the concubine son raised in Songshoutang.

But the difference is that Xie Zi'an's mother, Cui Shi, has been dead for many years, and now Lin Mengyao is the mistress of the Xie family, and she will never allow her son to be entrusted to others.

For some things, Lin Mengyao seems to have planned for a long time. As long as this child is born safely, she will take advantage of the conflict between Xie Zi'an and Xie Chongguang to completely get rid of Xie Zi'an. In this way, her son will become Xie Zi'an. The only legitimate son of the family...

As soon as Lin Mengyao opened her eyes, she rubbed her stomach habitually. When Juan'er heard the movement outside, she opened the curtain and came in, saying, "Madam is awake? Do you want to get up?"

Lin Mengyao said "hmm", sat up with Juan'er's hand in her arms, and asked, "Hasn't Master Xiang come back yet?"

"Mrs. Hui... Master Xiang went out yesterday and hasn't come back until now."

After Juan'er helped Lin Mengyao wash and change her clothes, Lin Mengyao strenuously walked around the room a few times with her waist supported, feeling that the room was very stuffy.

At this time, a girl came to report: "Ma'am, someone from the old lady said that if the lady wakes up, go to her place to have a meal. The old lady specially ordered someone to prepare for the lady. They are all high-grade nourishing and anti-birth products!"

"Understood, you step back!" Lin Mengyao waved the girl who sent the message away, and complained for a while: "I know how to eat and eat all day long, it's all those things, and I don't know how to change styles, it's really boring!"

"Old madam is also thinking of you, ma'am..." Juan'er advised Lin Mengyao carefully by her arm.

Lin Mengyao frowned disdainfully, and said, "She did it for me, she did it for her precious grandson!"

"That's also your child, madam..." Juan'er whispered.

"Of course it's my wife's child!" Lin Mengyao held her head up proudly, but she was planning in her heart that when she gave birth to her child safely, she would take the power of the family from Mrs. Li, and never let the old man The wife is showing off her might.

Lin Mengyao was depressed, but she had to pretend to be obedient and ran to Songshou Hall. Thinking of how often she had to smile deliberately when facing Li Shi's old face, she felt sick to her stomach.

From Ningmenghuo to Songshoutang, it is not far away, but it is not easy to get there at once. It was smooth to walk around the main road outside the garden, but Lin Mengyao suddenly felt that the sun above her head was too hot. If you want to take the nearest path, the girls below dare not disobey Lin Mengyao's wishes, even if Lin Mengyao doesn't have to move her own feet at all, but someone will carry a soft sedan chair to take her to Songshou Hall.

However, if you take a small path, you will inevitably pass by the abandoned courtyard where Xie Chongguang put Xie Zian under house arrest. Lin Mengyao unintentionally raised the curtain of the soft sedan chair and saw the layers of guards surrounding the abandoned courtyard. She couldn't help being curious, and ordered: "Stop the sedan chair!" !"

Juan'er hurried forward, "Ma'am, what happened?"

Lin Mengyao poked out half of her head, pointed to the abandoned courtyard ahead, and asked, "Where is that place? Why are there so many guards around?"

"Go back to Madam, it's just an abandoned courtyard, there's no place for people, it's just..." Juan'er scratched her head, she didn't know why so many guards were suddenly surrounded by so many guards, all of them armed with knives and swords. ferocious.

"Go, find someone to ask for clarification!" Lin Mengyao ordered, she naturally refused to come down, after all, with so many swords, she was afraid of hurting herself and the child in her womb.

Juan'er responded and asked someone casually, "Hey, my wife asked you, you are doing well today, why are you all surrounded by this abandoned courtyard?"

The guard rolled his eyes up and down, "What's none of your business? Don't inquire about it!"

Juan'er snorted angrily: "This is what our wife asked you, don't you even pay attention to your wife?"

The guard was still disdainful: "What madam? Which madam?"

Juan'er supported her back, proudly counting Lin Mengyao's identities, "Of course it's Mrs. Ningmeng, the eldest lady in our mansion!"

Bringing out these identities was really helpful, the guard quickly turned his face, and replied with a smile: "Sister, don't blame me, it's just that my little eyes are dumb, Sister Lao went back and told Madam that the prisoner in this courtyard is the eldest young master." , Master Xiang ordered me to wait for Haosheng to take care of him, don't let him run away..."

Juan'er truthfully told Lin Mengyao what she had said, and Lin Mengyao was taken aback, "Eldest young master? Why did the good master detain him?"

"This... the servant doesn't know." Juan'er shook her head, Lin Mengyao put down the sedan chair curtain, "Get up, let's go to Songshou hall first!"

In Songshou Hall, Mrs. Xie was sitting solemnly. The table in front of her was full of standard dishes, all of which were extremely beneficial to pregnant women. She hoped for the stars and the moon, prayed to the Buddha, and finally begged for a man for the Xie family. Huanxi didn't dare to be negligent, but at this time, she didn't seem to be aware of the turbulent changes that were happening outside, let alone how much pressure her son Xie Chongguang was walking outside at this time.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Mrs. Xie may have waited too long and was a little anxious.

Mother Fu replied: "I have already sent someone to invite me, so it's time to arrive!"

"Hmm..." Mrs. Xie narrowed her eyes, "For Lin's child, you have to be careful about what you say, and you don't dare to make any mistakes!"

"The old lady is right, why is this also your grandson!"

Not long after, Lin Mengyao stepped in, and as soon as she entered the Songshou hall, she became more delicate than Shicai, wishing that her feet would leave the ground and someone would carry her away.

Seeing that she was working hard with her big belly, Mrs. Xie didn't dare to ask her to kneel down to salute again, so she then exempted Lin Mengyao from all the etiquette, and accommodated Lin Mengyao like offering to a Bodhisattva.

Lin Mengyao just wanted to be proud of herself, and with this belly, she was quite self-willed, and Mrs. Xie was also patient. She thought about being patient for a few more months, and then carefully settled accounts with Lin Mengyao after the child was born.

The two were clearly at odds with each other, but they deliberately acted like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in harmony. As for the dishes on that table, Lin Mengyao didn't really touch a few chopsticks, but there was no way to get through the show.

After dinner, Lin Mengyao sat down and talked to the old lady, and took the opportunity to test out: "Old lady, how long has it been since Zi'an came home? Did you send someone to look for him? After all, he is the eldest son of our prime minister, and he always stays outside like this. Isn't that a good thing?"

The old lady seemed to be consciously pondering whether Lin Mengyao's words implied other meanings. After all, she couldn't understand why Lin Mengyao mentioned Zi'an so well.

"You also know, the relationship between Zi'an and his father..." The old lady's words were to the point. As for what to say later, Lin Mengyao was very clear, but Lin Mengyao was just trying to test whether the old lady knew that Xie Zi'an had been arrested by the prime minister. She was detained in the mansion, so I took the opportunity to mention her.

Lin Mengyao stroked her stomach, and sighed: "After all, it's my own flesh and blood. Even if you think about it, Master Xiang won't really have any unresolvable hatred with Zi'an."

The old lady just sighed twice without saying a word, but Lin Mengyao was sure enough that the old lady didn't know that Xie Zi'an was being held in the mansion by the Prime Minister.

Then... what she wants to do will become smooth.

Lin Mengyao sat in the Songshoutang for a while before asking to leave. When she returned to Ningmenglou, she still took the small road, but Lin Mengyao made a fuss about getting out of the sedan chair and walking around on her own, and dismissed the group of idlers who followed, Juan'er was left alone by her side.

"Madam, there is still a long way to Ningmenghou, are you really planning to go back on foot?" Juan'er worried.

Lin Mengyao glared at her, "What do you know? My wife is only pregnant with a child, and she is not disabled. Why can't she walk alone?"

Besides, although this place is not close to Ningmenghuo, the abandoned courtyard where Xie Zi'an was detained is ahead, this is her goal.

When the guards saw Lin Mengyao approaching from a distance, they all looked sluggish just now, but now they cheered up inexplicably.

Lin Mengyao supported her back with one hand, stood upright in front of the crowd, and said, "Mrs. Rong Ben, go in and have a few words with him!"

"Ma'am, don't blame me. The Prime Minister has told you that no one else is allowed to come in or out..." The guard looked at Lin Mengyao with some embarrassment, and then nodded his head in embarrassment.

Juan'er scolded without anger: "Blind your dog's eyes, is our wife just an idler waiting for you? Don't get out of the way!"

The guards were still insisting, as if they were determined to refuse, but Lin Mengyao went straight up with her belly outstretched, so frightened that none of the guards dared to stop her. If Lin Mengyao didn't have this belly, they might still be able to stop her, but now there are With this stomach, if something goes wrong, none of them can afford it.

Lin Mengyao entered the abandoned courtyard without any resistance. Seeing that the old house was locked, she said displeasedly: "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you open the door!"

"Yes—" The guards had no choice but to let Lin Mengyao make noise, and Xie Zian in the room had heard the movement outside at this time, but he didn't move, still leaning against the wall dejectedly.

The door next to him was pushed open with a "squeak". Xie Zian opened his eyes, only to see Lin Mengyao standing in front of him. She seemed to be a little different from before. To be exact, she was more plump than before. Than her belly.

"Master Xie, long time no see!" Lin Mengyao took the initiative to say hello, with a smile on her face, that smile seemed to be the same as before, but Xie Zian vaguely sensed the malicious intentions behind that smile.

"What are you here for?" Xie Zian raised his eyes, "Could it be that father asked you to come?"

Lin Mengyao didn't answer, she took two steps back, looked at the environment in the dilapidated house and the hemp rope binding Xie Zian's hands and feet, and sighed, "Oh, I never thought that Master Xiang would treat you like this..."
