Happy pastoral concubine

Chapter 762 Relying on others is worse than relying on yourself
Fengluan Hall.

With a big belly, An Xiuhui looked at Concubine Rui who came uninvited with a smile.

"I'm going to give birth in a short time. Sister Rui Concubine rushed to my palace eagerly at this time. What went wrong then..."

"Sister Empress is worrying too much," Concubine Rui heard her overtones, and smiled indifferently, "This concubine came here specially to visit my sister, since my sister was pregnant, the Holy Majesty has come to visit you every day They are all concubines, aren't they? My sister felt really uncomfortable yesterday. The Holy Majesty took pity on the concubines, that's why he stayed in the Hall of Hehuan, and please don't mind..."

"Concubine Rui, you don't need to circle around in front of this palace." An Xiuhui sneered and interrupted her, "Concubine Rui, you are going to give birth soon, without the help of Concubine Chen in this palace, you'd better do it yourself. Don't have much patience, Lu Yin, see off the guests!"

Concubine Rui didn't expect that An Xiuhui would tear her face apart instead of making false claims with her.

But that's good too, she doesn't want to stay here to put on a show.

"Since my sister is unwell, the concubine will leave first."

After Concubine Rui left with Zisu, Lu Yin frowned, her eyes were full of hostility, "Madam, are Concubine Rui's wings hardened? Since the Holy Majesty began to favor her, how dare she show off her might in front of you? She has eaten it!" Is the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard?"

"It's not that she has eaten the heart of a bear, she is pretending to be a tiger." An Xiuhui lowered her eyes, covering the bitterness and helplessness in her eyes.

She had warned her father a long time ago not to rush everything.

Especially for a suspicious person like Murong He, the best way is to boil the frog in warm water.

But Dad was too eager for success.

If my father hadn't shown such an attitude back then, this harem would only be hers alone. How could it be possible for a little daughter of a minister to do her best?
"Ma'am?" Seeing An Xiuhui's exhausted expression, Lu Yin asked with some distress, "Ma'am, do you want to invite an imperial physician to take a look?"

In the past two days, An Xiuhui's face was quite ugly, and Lu Yin saw it in her eyes and was anxious in her heart.

However, Doctor He, who was most trusted by the empress, was injured and was bedridden.

"Lu Yin, send someone to secretly investigate Concubine Rui's recent actions, especially to see if she has contacted anyone outside the palace recently." An Xiuhui thought about it carefully, and always felt that this matter was a bit strange.

Ever since Concubine Chen died, Concubine Rui had been hiding in the Hall of Hehuan, but now she popped up when she was about to give birth, it was really strange.

"Your Majesty means..."

"It seems that there must be an expert behind Concubine Rui's advice. It's just that this palace is wondering who this person could be."

Tang Huanxi, who was far away in Xu's house in Jinling, couldn't help but sneezed.

Xu Jiudi hurriedly handed the hot ginger soup prepared by the servants to her, "This year's late autumn, the weather in Jinling is too unusual, many people have already contracted the cold, you should take good care of yourself on weekdays!"

"Sister Jiudi, I just sneezed, so don't make a fuss." Tang Huanxi shrugged his shoulders, with a helpless smile on his face.

"Sneezing is a small thing. If you really catch the wind and cold, it will be bad. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your husband and children, right?" Xu Jiudi persuaded earnestly.

In desperation, Tang Huanxi had no choice but to pinch her nose and drank the bowl of unpleasant ginger soup in one gulp.

"Unexpectedly, Tang Huanxi, who is not afraid of anything, is afraid of ginger?" Xu Jiudi couldn't help laughing and joking when he saw her aggrieved expression.

"Sister Jiudi, don't laugh at me." Tang Huanxi helped her forehead helplessly, then lowered her head and touched her swollen abdomen, a soft light lingered all over her body, "It's strange to say, when I was just pregnant When I was pregnant with this child, I couldn’t smell meat, but now after the first three months, it’s a little better, but I can’t stand the smell of ginger anymore. This child will definitely be a picky eater in the future.”

"Your craftsmanship is so good, the little guy will not dislike you." Xu Jiudi smiled softly, but there was a little melancholy in his eyes.

After understanding her eyes, Tang Huanxi held her wrist with some distress, "Sister Jiudi, have you really thought it through?"

"Well, I was a little hesitant at first, but last night I received a letter written by my father, and my father also supported my approach." Xu Jiudi smiled wryly, "My father said that no matter what consequences will happen in the future, he will bear it. Huanxi, am I useless?"

"Why did Sister Jiudi say that?"

"When Daddy passed on the title of Patriarch of the Xu family to me, I also questioned myself, but later I told myself that I would definitely be able to be the Patriarch of the Xu family, and I must not let Daddy underestimate me, but now the Xu family is going to Falling apart in my hands."

"Sister is reluctant?"

"That's not true," Xu Jiudi shook his head lightly, "The Xu family is a century-old family with lush branches and leaves. But outsiders only see the wealth of our direct line, but never find our difficulties and the dirt hidden inside. "

"Sister Jiudi, don't stop, you will suffer from it. If you can't make a decisive decision this time, then the other eight young masters don't know what they will do to you in the future..."

Most of the eight young masters of the Xu family are romantic debts left by Xu Wanjin when he was young.

But Xu Wanjin has been busy with his business all these years, so he doesn't have time to teach his children properly.

So much so that the seven young masters in the family have developed a flirtatious temperament.

Only the young master is fairly upright, but a few years ago the young master knew that his own mother was killed by the mistress of the Xu family, that is, Xu Jiudi's biological mother. Since then, the young master has disappeared without a trace.

"If big brother is still here..."

"Sister Jiudi, relying on others is worse than relying on yourself."

"En." Xu Jiudi nodded, quickly making up his mind.

Separation is imperative.

On October [-]th, Xu Jiudi, as the head of the Xu family, invited all the members of the Xu family to the main hall, and also invited two relatively impartial elders of the family to attend and testify.

"Today, I specially brought everyone together to tell you one thing." Xu Jiudi cleared his throat, then raised a letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "I, Xu Jiudi, is the previous head of the family, my father, Xu Wanjin. The chosen heir. As I said before, if everyone has any dissatisfaction with me as the head of the family, you can directly attack me. There is no need to make small moves behind the scenes!
Third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother.I ask myself that I am not kind to you, but you dare to harm your siblings. Do you really think that I am a paper tiger? "

"Jiudi, the sky is bright and bright, have you been drinking?"

"Yes, Jiudi, you can eat things indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense about food!"

The three young masters who were named immediately pointed to Xu Jiudi's nose with guilty conscience and loudly criticized.

Xu Jiudi didn't speak, but sneered twice, and then snapped his fingers.
