Return of Jin Yi

Chapter 131 Pregnancy

Chu Ci never expected to see Ah Ying here. She hurriedly stood up, walked towards her niece whom she had not seen for several months, helped her up, looked at the long scar on her cheek with distress, and asked, "Ah Ying, why are you here, where is your mother? What happened in Tongzhou?"

Aying was embraced by Chu Ci, and stared at her for a while, and finally she seemed to recognize someone. She burst into tears, grabbed Chu Ci's clothes tightly and said, "Sister-in-law... Someone took her away...you save her, I beg you to save her, those people said that the pastry shop opened by mother killed people, they closed the shop and took mother away..."

Chu Ci looked at Ah Ying's appearance, and when he was shocked, he quickly turned his head and gave Zhe Xia a wink. Zhe Xia understood, and hurriedly took the remaining little girls and servants out, leaving the hall to Chu Ci .

Chu Ci walked among the crowd, while coaxing Ah Ying not to cry, he took her by the hand and took her to Xie Ciju.

After her intermittent narration, it became clear that not long after they left Tongzhou, the third wife, Mrs. Chen, used the bank notes she left her to set up a shop and opened a pastry shop to make ends meet.

Opening a shop was nothing at all, but the bad thing was that when she went to the shop to settle accounts at the end of the month, a well-known playboy in Tongzhou City fell in love with her.

To say that there are many kinds of people in this world, there are those who love young girls, and there are those who love mature women.It just so happened that that playboy liked to hook up with widows and young women who were out of the court, so he fell in love with the third lady at first sight.

The third lady has a gentle yet strong personality, so she was naturally reluctant, but the influence of the playboy's family was deeply rooted in Tongzhou City, so she attacked the pastry shop opened by the third lady, as well as their mother and daughter.

He directly went to the pastry shop where Tuo framed their family and ate people to death, and then urged the government to imprison all the people in Chen's house... All the guards and servants were killed, and the female family members were sold.

After turning around like this, the third lady still fell into the hands of the playboy, but this time it was not a concubine, but a servant girl.

As for Ah Ying, she was sold out after being slapped in the face when the third wife was fighting with the playboy... and after some twists and turns, she finally arrived at the Yahang in the capital.

After hearing her finish, Chu Ci's face almost turned livid. She held on to a silk handkerchief, wiped her tears, and promised her that she would rescue the third lady.

Hearing that she was willing to help save people, Ah Ying straightened up and knelt on the Arhat's bed, her palm-sized face was covered with tears, and thanked Chu Ci gratefully.

Chu Ci hurriedly pushed her to sit down, gently held her in his arms, and said, "You are my sister, your mother is my aunt, I should save her, and besides, I didn't think well at the time." ..."

If she was willing to leave behind a powerful hidden guard, maybe the third wife and Ah Ying would not be reduced to this level.

Thinking of this, she looked at the scar on Ah Ying's face, and her heart felt sore again.

A Ying felt Chu Ci's distressed eyes on her face, looked up at her, smiled obediently, held her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't hurt, I don't hurt anymore... "

"Well, our Ah Ying is the most obedient!" Chu Ci held her tighter, raised his hand to caress her face, nodded and said, "However, it's not good for girls to have scars after all, sister-in-law will find a way to help you Remove the scar."

"Then Ah Ying will thank my sister-in-law first!"

Chu Ci didn't say a word, but raised his head and gently rubbed her heart, and asked, "How long have you not eaten, are you hungry? My sister-in-law will cook for you and prepare some food for you!"

"No, no, no!" Ah Ying heard that Chu Ci wanted to cook herself, and hurriedly waved her hands, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about me, I'll just eat something!"

"How can this be done?" Chu Ci rubbed the top of her head again, then looked at her tenderly, and said decisively, "You just wait here, sister-in-law is going now, come back soon!" After finishing speaking, She told Aunt Wu to serve Ah Ying some candy and take good care of the child, and then walked outside.

When Aunt Wu saw that Chu Ci was going to cook by herself, she originally wanted to stop her, but she couldn't bear it when she looked at the quail-like, pitiful Ah Ying beside her, so she had to watch Chu Ci leave Xie Ciju and go to the small kitchen go.

And she went to the tea cabinet to pick up a few plates of candy, and said to Ah Ying, "Miss Ying, eat some, these candies are all made by your sister-in-law, I don't know which one you like to eat, I just picked up some, you can taste it quickly..."

Hearing Aunt Wu's persuasion, Ah Ying didn't reach out to grab the candy, but looked at Aunt Wu, and thanked her solemnly first.

Aunt Wu has always liked well-behaved children, seeing Aying's pitiful and well-behaved appearance now, her heart almost melted, she sat down beside her, and then introduced the taste of various candies to her.

Ah Ying listened, and after a while, she slowly stretched out her hand and grabbed a piece of snow-white milk candy.

When the milk candy was eaten into her mouth, the sweet taste diffused into her mouth. The little girl squinted her eyes, carefully feeling the sweet milk taste in her mouth.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, smiled at Aunt Wu, and said jerky, "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is as good as ever!"

Aunt Wu nodded, and said to You Rong, "Miss Ying said that your sister-in-law is capable, no matter what she does, she can do well." After a pause, she continued, "So don't worry, Since she promised to help you save people, she will definitely be able to save them, maybe if you fall asleep tonight, you will be able to see your mother tomorrow morning!"

Aying nodded in a daze, and said shyly, "Thank you auntie for your comfort, I also hope that when I wake up, I can see my mother..."

Afterwards, the master and servant, one big and one small, chatted for a while.
Chu Ci didn't come back until half an hour later, and he personally carried a tray with two dishes and a porcelain cup of porridge.

After she entered the door, she went straight to the Arhat's bed, put the tray on the low table on the Arhat's bed, and after putting it away, she said to Aunt Wu, "Aunt Wu, go and twist a veil for Ah Ying."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu hurriedly got up and walked outside the Nuan Pavilion.

Soon, she came back again, holding a warm cotton kerchief in her hand.

Chu Ci directly took the handkerchief and wiped Ah Ying's hands before handing her the chopsticks, "Eat!"

Ah Ying looked at the sweet and sour lotus root and diced meat with sour beans on the tray, and her eye circles turned red again. She took the porridge that Chuci helped her support, raised her head to look at her, and said sourly, "Sister-in-law still remembers that I like what to eat..."

Chu Ci smiled, "You are my sister, the one I care about, so I naturally remember what you like to eat!"

Hearing what she said, Ah Ying's eye circles became even redder. She lowered her head and ate the porridge, forcing back her tears.

Looking at this scene, Chu Ci sighed again.

After that, he didn't say anything, just quietly waited for Ah Ying to finish eating, and then told Aunt Wu to clean up the dishes, while she stayed and continued to accompany Ah Ying.

The sister-in-law and sister-in-law lay on the bed and talked for a long time before Chu Ci fell asleep with his arms around Ah Ying.

Outside, the night was getting darker.

Inside the room, a figure sat up at some point.

With a small body, she tiptoed over the adults beside her, got out of bed, went straight to the dressing table, and took out a sharp golden hairpin from the jewelry box.

He turned around and walked towards the bed again.

On the bed, Chu Ci didn't sleep well because of the choice of seats.

Almost at the moment when Ah Ying got up beside her, she also woke up.

But by coincidence, she didn't stop her, but wanted to see what she was going to do.

Soon, she came back again, and walked back to the bedside with barely audible footsteps.

It's just that she didn't go to bed, but stood by the bed and looked at her.

Until, a dazzling sharp edge flashed past her slightly closed eyes, almost subconsciously, she turned over and rolled... At the same time, there was only a soft sound, and there was a crisp landing sound.

Chu Ci opened his eyes and sat up, looking at the sharp golden hairpin falling on the ground by the light of the night pearl in the room.

"Aying, what are you going to do!" She stared at her in disbelief with her eyes wide open, and asked in horror.

A Ying was questioned by her, as if she had finally woken up, she knelt down on the ground with a thud, tears rolled down like broken beads, and cried in a panic, "Sister-in-law, I... I didn't mean it, I just... ...I just wanted to save my mother, I didn't mean it, those people forced me, they forced me..."

Hearing what she was saying, Chu Ci was about to speak when Zhe Xia walked in from the outside, holding a torch in her hand, the warm yellow light hit her face, and she walked step by step. Beside the bed, light the candles on both sides, then salute, looked at Chu Ci and said, "Girl, I will help you to be the master first, and leave the affairs here to me!"

Chu Ci glanced at Zhe Xia.

She couldn't understand what she meant, but she was worried that Ah Ying would take advantage of her soft-heartedness to attack again and again.

But will she really soften her heart again?

how can that be possible!She was just Lu Ying's cousin, not her real parents. After she was sure that she had murderous intentions for her, how could she trust her and forgive her? She was not the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

At that moment, he nodded at her, put on his shoes and walked outside.

Lu Ying didn't expect Chu Ci to leave so unfeelingly, all of a sudden, the tears flowed harder, she murmured to her sister-in-law, and wanted to grab Chu Ci's underwear, but before she got close, she was caught by Zhe Xia. separated.

Zhe Xia was condescending, gave her a cold look, and said, "I hope you really didn't mean it!"

Lu Ying was shivering from the coldness in Zhe Xia's words, but she finally didn't bother her anymore, and just watched Chu Ci leave the Nuan Pavilion step by step...

She knelt down on the ground, regretting in her heart, but not regretting.

It was not until a long time later that he stood up, climbed back to the bed, and buried himself in the quilt.

Chuci was sent back to Xieciju by Zhexia.

Before entering the room, she glanced at her, and said tentatively, "Don't tell my uncle what happened today!"

Zhe Xia has no objection to this point, after all, it is a matter between the two masters.

After sending Chu Ci to the door, she turned around and left.

After Chu Ci entered the house, King Lu Xiaojun was still awake.

Hearing her footsteps, he subconsciously sat up from the bed, followed by the faint moonlight, looked at her and said, "Miss?"

Chu Ci gave a soft "hmm", then walked to the bed, took off his shoes and got on the bed, hugged his waist, and asked in a low voice, "Why is Mr. Xiang not asleep yet?"

Hearing this, King Lu Xiaojun patted her shoulders and smiled softly, "Of course I don't have a lady to warm my bed, my pillow is empty and I can't sleep anymore!"

After saying that, he looked down at her again, and asked with a puzzled face, "What about you, lady, didn't you sleep with Ah Ying? Why are you back?"

Chu Ci smiled softly, wrapped his arms around his waist and said flatteringly, "Didn't I sense that Mr. Xiang, you have no one to warm your bed and you can't sleep, so I came back here to warm your bed?"

Hearing what she said, King Lu Xiaojun almost burst out laughing.

I couldn't help lowering my head, touched her forehead, and said, "How is the lady going to warm my bed?"

Chu Ci's nose was full of his breath, he snorted softly, pushed him away and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow to send Zhaohua and A Fang out of the city, stop making trouble and go to sleep!"

When King Lu Xiaojun heard her mentioning this, his face was dazed for a moment, but he still didn't let her go, but solemnly said, "Then tell me the truth, why did you suddenly come to sleep with the master, but the Nuan Pavilion What happened over there?"

Chu Ci didn't expect him to be so obsessed with this question, so he had to think about it, and made up a plausible excuse, saying, "Your cousin's sleeping position is not very good, she always entangles me, and I am entangled by her." I really couldn't sleep, so I had to move back after she fell asleep!"

"So it's like this..." Hearing what she said, King Lu Xiaojun finally stopped doubting her.

Chu Ci also breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she had slipped through the test. She broke free from his arms and said, "Let's go to bed quickly!" As she spoke, she opened her mouth and yawned in response to the occasion.

Seeing this, King Lu Xiaojun had no choice but to put away his other thoughts, and fell asleep with her in his arms.

The night passed.

The next day, at dawn, Chuci was woken up by King Lu Xiaojun!
After the two of them got dressed, they had a simple breakfast, then went out, and headed for Nanjun Palace in a carriage.

An hour later, when they arrived at Nanjun Palace, Lu Zhaohua's side had also packed up.

Perhaps because he really wanted to leave his mother's house and go to a strange in-law's house, Lu Zhaohua's entire eye circles were red. After seeing Chu Ci, he stepped forward to give him a big hug.

She hugged her tightly, and said in a crying voice, "Sister-in-law, I really miss you, what should I do, once I leave, I don't know when we will see each other again."

Chu Ci expressed sadness and embarrassment.

Qin Fang next to him was even more embarrassed. He clenched his fist with one hand and pressed it to his lips. After a long silence, he looked at Lu Zhaohua and said, "Next year, my term in Jinling will be over, and then I will submit a request to return to the capital to serve." ..."

After hearing what Qin Fang said, Lu Zhaohua reluctantly let go of Chu Ci, looked at his family lord, and said, "Master, are you telling the truth?"

Qin Fang nodded seriously, "As long as the lady likes it, I will try my best to do it!"

When Lu Zhaohua heard that he just confessed to himself in front of his brother and sister-in-law, not only his eyes were red, but his cheeks were also red.

She looked at him with burning eyes, and after a long time, she was about to step forward to hug her husband-in-law, but this time, the maid outside came in with breakfast...

I don't know what smell in it stimulated Lu Zhaohua, her face suddenly changed, she covered her mouth and retched.

"Miss!" Seeing that his wife was not feeling well, Qin Fang rushed forward, supported her, and gently helped her along her back.

But Lu Zhaohua's reaction was too great, no matter how Qin Fang tried to appease him, it was useless.

In the end, Chu Ci noticed a can of fish soup in the breakfast, frowned, and ordered the maidservant who was standing aside, "Take these food down first!"

The maidservants looked at each other, but in the end they still didn't refute Chu Ci's face, and were about to leave with various breakfast meals.

However, it was a coincidence that a few maidservants were about to go out when they bumped into the Nanjun princess who was rushing over. She looked at the maidservants suspiciously and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet?" Eat, why do you want to take it down again?"

The maid was also quite afraid of Nanjun Wangfei recently, so she had to move Chuci out and said, "My aunt feels a little uncomfortable, so the concubine asked us to take all these breakfast meals down!"

"It's her again!" Princess Nanjun frowned when she heard Chu Ci's name.

He even gave a few maidservants a cold look, and said, "You don't need to take them back, this fish soup and this glutinous rice cake are Zhaohua's favorite food, let her eat them again before leaving!"

The maidservants had no choice but to bring in the breakfast again.

Then, as soon as one end of the fish soup came in, Lu Zhaohua, who had finally stopped retching, vomited heavily again, his face turned pale.

Princess Nanjun looked at this scene, and her heart was instantly aroused. She held up the purple skirt and walked towards Lu Zhaohua quickly. After stopping in front of her, she looked distressed and worried, "Zhaohua, what are you doing?" What's the matter? How did you vomit like this?"

Lu Zhaohua was only retching, unable to speak, and finally Qin Fang frowned, looked at the breakfast that was brought back, and asked in a cold voice, "Didn't sister-in-law tell you to bring it out, why did you bring it back again? "

The maidservants looked aggrieved, glanced at the Nanjun Princess, and whispered, "The servants dare not disobey the order of the Princess!"

Qin Fang gritted his teeth, "Take out, take out the fish soup!"

The maid serving the fish soup's eyes turned red, and she secretly went to see Princess Nanjun again.

But the princess of Nanjun is concerned about Lu Zhaohua now, and there is no time to wink at her. In the end, Qin Fang couldn't bear it anymore, and went straight to the maid who served the fish soup, grabbed the tray in her hand, and walked out...

The fish soup was forcibly thrown out.

Lu Zhaohua got better now.

Princess Nanjun saw that her daughter's complexion had improved, and her nose was not her nose, her eyes were not her eyes, she glared at Chu Ci and said, "Aren't you a genius doctor? I didn't see your sister suffering so much, so I didn't know how to go to help her? "

Hearing the words, Chu Ci glanced at Nanjun Wangfei lightly, and pointedly pointed out, "I'm afraid that the princess of the county doesn't want me to see a doctor for my sister!"

Her pun was obvious.

Although Nanjun Wangfei's temper is a little bit worse now, she is not stupid after all. Thinking of her daughter's reaction just now, she almost immediately understood, turned pale, looked at Chu Ci with a dejected expression, and said, "A Ci , you... what you said is true?"

He was so anxious that he even let go of his resentment towards Chu Ci.

Chu Ci also felt that this matter was very difficult, so she took another look at Princess Nanjun and said, "If the Princess of Nanjun doesn't believe my eyes, then I can check my sister's pulse again."

Listening to her mother and sister-in-law playing riddles, Lu Zhaohua finally understood that something was wrong. She raised her head, looked at Chu Ci weakly, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with me?"

Chu Ci didn't speak, walked towards her directly, and grabbed her wrist.

In an instant, her face darkened.

Huamai, the most obvious Huamai.

Princess Nanjun saw Chu Ci's face turn black, she staggered and almost couldn't stand upright, but thanks to King Lu Xiaojun's sharp eyesight and quick hands, she didn't fall down.

"Mother, sister-in-law, what are you playing riddles? What's wrong with me?" Lu Zhaohua became more anxious when he saw the two's reactions.

Chu Ci ignored her, but took a deep look at Princess Nanjun, and asked with his eyes if he could tell Lu Zhaohua about this.

Princess Nanjun naturally didn't want her daughter to know about this disgusting thing, but as her daughter was about to leave, even if she didn't tell her, she would know about it one day, and by then, the situation she would face would only be more severe than now!

Therefore, the answer to this question asked by Chu Ci is obvious, that is...

"Finish!" Nanjun Wangfei sighed heavily, looked at Chu Ci and said weakly.

Chu Ci nodded, then looked at Lu Zhaohua again, looked into her eager eyes, and said, "You are pregnant, one and a half months!"

Pregnant!
One and a half months!
These two news hit Lu Zhaohua's head like thunder.

She opened her eyes, her face was pale, and she didn't react for a long time.

Until, Qin Fang walked in from the outside, wrapped her arms around her shoulders with an unquestionable attitude, looked down at her worriedly, and coaxed softly, "Lady, don't be afraid...your child is my child... ...I will convince my mother and grandmother that they will not look down on you!"

"Mister!" Lu Zhaohua burst into tears when Qin Fang said this. She leaned in his arms and held on to his skirt tightly, her knuckles turning white. "My lord, why did you So, why is this..."

"My lady, I told you, your child is my child!" Qin Fang still bowed his head to persuade Lu Zhaohua, with a slightly bent and relaxed posture, covering her in his arms, as if he could replace her in this way. Block all the wind and frost from the outside world.

Lu Zhaohua continued to cry, out of breath.

The others were silent, not knowing what to say.

It took a long time for Lu Zhaohua to calm down under Qin Fang's comfort.

She raised her head, stared at her red eyes from crying, and said to Chu Ci, "Sister-in-law, I didn't expect that the medicine you gave me... would really not work..."

"Medicine, what kind of medicine?" Nanjun Wangfei immediately stared at Lu Zhaohua and Chu Ci after hearing this crucial word, "Zhaohua, tell me clearly, what kind of medicine is it?"
