Da Suining

Chapter 231 Fetal Gas
It was snowing heavily.

The sky and the earth are vast.

In Xiangyan's room, the maids either brought hot water or handed towels, and waited eagerly, but none of them said a word, and they didn't even dare to make a sound when they lifted the curtain.

The time for half a stick of incense has passed, and the hot water brought in turned into bloody water, and another basin was brought out. The white towel was thrown into the basin, and it was also dyed red.

Tang Xiaoniang was so anxious that she grabbed the handkerchief and turned around: "I fell, why did I fall so badly, and shed so much blood, my poor Yan'er, you useless slaves, if Yan'er has something good or bad, I have to sell you out."

The maidservant and mother-in-law didn't dare to speak anymore.

"It hurts... ah, it hurts... mother... it hurts..." Xiangyan's voice came out, one after another.

In the weather of the first snow, Xiang Suining didn't want to go out at all, and it was the most appropriate occasion to drink a cup of jujube tea and enjoy the snow scene by the window.

The news of Xiangyan's fall in the front yard came. She helped Mrs. Xiang to visit with her. Mrs. Xiang had just been pushed into the pond a while ago, she was weak, but she still struggled to visit.

The grandparents and grandchildren stood in the porch, looking at the servant girl walking like a lantern. Tang Xiaoniang's attitude made everyone shrink their heads in fright. Mrs. Xiang said: "The moment is Yan'er's safety, the doctor can take care of you." Out?"

As soon as Mrs. Xiang sat down, the doctor came out from the room.

"What's the matter, what's the matter? Where did you get hurt? Why did you bleed so much? Did you break your leg?" Tang Xiaoniang stroked her chest.

"Let the doctor take a break." Mrs. Xiang made a gesture of invitation, and asked the maid to serve the doctor a cup of tea.

The charcoal fire is hot.

The flames were crimson.

"Don't stand still, get out." Mrs. Xiang waved her hand.

All the maids and women retreated outside the door, Mrs. Xiang asked the doctor leisurely: "How is it?"

"May I ask how this... is related to you?" The doctor was holding a cup of tea.

"It's about this time, what's the matter, just tell me what happened to Yan'er."

"I am her grandmother, this..." Madam Xiang pointed to Tang Xiaoniang: "This is her mother."

"Is the girl married?"

If Mrs. Xiang was not there, Tang Xiaoniang would have carried the doctor out and thrown her away.

Why is a doctor so gossip.

Very annoying.

Mrs. Xiang said gently: "She is young and unmarried. You are a doctor, so there must be a reason for asking such a question. Just tell me, just be specific."

"Oh." The doctor sighed: "So it's a girl from the mansion. Does the old lady want to hear the truth or lies?"

"How to say?"

"If you listen to lies, then you are old and old, your eyesight is blurred, and you cannot be reused. Please ask another expert to treat the girl's illness. If you listen to the truth..."

"how?"

"I'm not going to hide it from you, Madam..." The doctor put down the teacup and stood up, bowed his waist and said, "Miss...is pregnant."

Mrs. Xiang felt a "thump" in her heart, as if someone had punched her in the chest.

Even her arms trembled slightly, and her lips changed color.

Xiang Suining stuck tightly to Mrs. Xiang's side. This result was not unexpected. She knew everything about what happened in Mount Qingcheng last time.

Tang Xiaoniang couldn't accept it: "Quack doctor! What nonsense are you talking about?"

"He won't risk his wealth and life to talk nonsense. Just listen to him. At any rate, he's old, and it's not the first time he has seen a doctor. It's not that he's not sure about things like Ximai."

The doctor bowed: "Thank you, old lady, for your appreciation. The girl inside is indeed a happy pulse. If not, the old lady can send someone to smash the signboard of the old man. According to the veins, the girl is pregnant, and it has been three months. The girl slipped Unfortunately, the fetal gas is causing so much bleeding, but fortunately, life is safe, now that I have taken the medicine, the bleeding has stopped."

Tang Xiaoniang clutched her handkerchief: "Impossible, Imperial Physician Lu is a dignified imperial physician. He has been seeing Yan'er for the past few months. If it is a happy pulse, can't he see it?"

The doctor said nothing.

"Come on, let's invite some more doctors."

"Wait." Mrs. Xiang stood up with her cane, and whispered with a sullen face, "You want everyone in Qingcheng to know about this?"

Tang Xiaoniang paused.

"If... if... Yan'er is really pregnant, then... what about the fetus in the womb?... it fell out... where did it get thrown?"

"Returning to Madam, the fetus is still in the girl's stomach. Although the girl fell and bled, luckily the baby in her womb is lucky and safe. As long as you take care of yourself in the future..."

Tang Xiaoniang couldn't accept being pregnant before marriage.

Now that he fell down, the child was still safely in his belly.

"Get out." Tang Xiaoniang gritted her teeth.

"Thank you doctor. Suining, give the doctor five taels of silver as the consultation fee."

The doctor took the silver and bowed to thank him.

"It's snowing, it's hard for the doctor to come here. Please accept the five taels of silver, it's just a matter in the mansion today, please don't mention it to others. After leaving the mansion of the second-rank official, the doctor will take this Forget about it."

The doctor nodded yes.

Xiang Daying stood on the steps with a sullen face, maybe it was cold or frozen, his lips were purple.

When I came back early, I felt something was wrong, why did the servants in the mansion shrink their hands and feet, and hid far away, and the person at the door said that Xiangyan fell because she lost her footing.

I thought it was a trivial matter, but when I heard it from across the door, Xiangying's hands couldn't help trembling.

The snow fell on his hair and on his court clothes. His hair was almost gray, and the snow turned into water and flowed onto his back. At this moment, he didn't feel cold, but his face was hot, as if someone Slapped several times.

When passing by the doctor, the doctor saluted him, and he even turned his face away, feeling ashamed.

"You...you..." He tried his best to hold back the anger in his heart, rushed into the inner room and pulled off the colorful ribbon from the bed curtain and put it around Xiangyan's neck: "You...a thing that humiliates the ancestors, I...I... strangle you now, i'll strangle you now."

Tang Xiaoniang has already rushed forward to protect Xiang Yan: "I only have this one daughter, if the master wants to strangle her, why not strangle me first."

"You are used to her, you are used to it."

"Master calm down first... What the doctor said may not be accurate...Didn't Imperial Physician Lu say that Yan'er is not pregnant?"

Xiang Daying leaned against the bed slumped, held the sash in his hand and endured it again and again, it's okay not to mention Imperial Physician Lu now, but when mentioning Imperial Physician Lu, Xiang Daying's anger burned up.

"This Imperial Physician Lu, he... he... knew Yan'er was pregnant, deliberately delayed the timing, and didn't tell us. The purpose was to avenge his son Lu Yu. He really played a big game of chess. When Yan'er's stomach can't be hidden anymore, people in Qingcheng will naturally know that Lu Yu didn't misdiagnose him back then, and he was wronged when he was beaten."

Tang Xiaoniang fell down on the bed and said, "As an imperial physician, I deliberately...deliberately...I'm going to smash the door of the Lu residence right now."

"If you want everyone in Qingcheng to know about Yan'er, you can knock on the door right now." Mrs. Xiang gave Tang Xiaoniang a glare.

Tang Xiaoniang is also very witty when she is doing evil in the mansion, but when it comes to business, she becomes so confused.

"Even though I know that Dr. Lu is not kind, it's because of our inhumanity. I don't have the face to go to him to settle accounts with Yan'er who did such...such things first...what face do I have...my own daughter did it Let's get down to it."

Madam Xiang silently squeezed Xiang Suining's hand.

"Yan'er, Yan'er, you should say something, that...damn...damn...who is it, you should say something, tell mother, are you being coerced by others, are you being bullied? Forced?"

Xiang Yan was lying on the bed, her face was sallow.Because she had bled a lot, she felt very erratic while lying down at the moment.

Xiangyan didn't expect that she was pregnant either. She obviously didn't miss a single menstrual event in the past few months, but she just felt that she was becoming more and more stupid. Now she doesn't vomit anymore and eats a lot. children come.

No wonder her belly is bigger than before, and her waist is also hard. She only thought that she gained weight because of her appetite, but unexpectedly she had a child in her belly.

In a moment of shame and anger, he pulled the quilt over his head.

Tang Xiaoniang was sad there, her proud daughter now became like this, Tang Xiaoniang felt that her life was about to die: "Master, who did the evil, you must... catch this person Come out, my Yan'er...You are young, what will you do in the future, there is still a little thing in your stomach, this little evil..."

"Mother, don't talk about it." Xiangyan poked her head out suddenly, as if she had made up her mind to pay attention: "I know what's going on with me, I just let him marry me."

"Who is that kid? Is he in the right family?" Tang Xiaoniang wiped away her tears: "Your father is a second-rank official, you..."

"What time is it now, do we still have to pick and choose?" Xiang Daying snorted.

"Then what should I do? Is it just so cheap for others?"

"Do you have a better idea?"

Tang Xiaoniang fell silent.

Dinner is on the table, fresh brine shrimp, hot old duck and radish soup, broiled lamb, eight-treasure rice, various snacks and fruits, steamed buns and side dishes, extra, I added a pot of beef soup, a pot of boiled sliced ​​meat Hericium erinaceus, God It is the practice of rich people in Qingcheng to add the pot cold, and it is very comfortable to eat and warm the body.

Because of the abundance of dishes in the kitchen, Xiang Daying breathed a sigh of relief, and Tang Xiaoniang even scolded the kitchen woman bloody.

Xiangyan took the medicine, and her body improved a bit. Although she was bleeding, she didn't hurt her vitals. She was hungry after a hard day. At dinner time, she drank two whole bowls of beef soup.

Tang Xiaoniang waited by her side, both angry and distressed. When she saw Xiangyan's protruding belly, she walked around the room feeling uneasy.

Xiangyan ate another duck leg.

Xiang Yan ate two more pieces of fruit.

Tang Xiaoniang sighed: "You can still eat it, if this matter gets out, how will you behave in the future?"

"Is it possible that mother will strangle me too?"

"of course not."

"Then if I live one more day, I will eat one more day." Xiangyan lay there stroking her belly, but now she is much calmer: "The one in my belly is not a child without a father, and his father is not a child without a father. Ordinary people, not peddlers, what is there to be sad about?"

"You're unmarried and pregnant, and that's your reputation..." Tang Xiaoniang closed her eyes: "Tell me, who is the father of the child, and let him take advantage of nothing."

"I don't need to worry about this matter, I know it well. He will marry me soon."

No matter how Tang Xiaoniang insinuated, Xiang Yan never revealed the child's father.

Helpless, Tang Xiaoniang had no choice but to take Chunyu to her room, and threatened Chunyu that she would beat her with a whip, and that she would sell her. Chunyu gritted her teeth, but did not say who the man was.

When the pressure got tighter, Chunyu cried: "Miss San ordered the servant not to speak out. If the servant talks too much, Miss San will kill the servant."

can't.

Tossing and turning.

It seems that the sound of falling snow can be heard.

It's cold outside.

The north wind blew all night.

After thinking about it all night, Tang Xiaoniang came up with a good idea. Before she was fully dressed, she said to Xiang Daying: "It's better to ask a doctor and get some... abortion medicine. Once the baby is removed, it will be over once and for all."

"The more people who know about Yan'er, the harder it is to hide it. There is no reliable doctor."

Just as she was feeling melancholy, the person at the door came to report that it was Doctor Lu who came to check Xiangyan's pulse.

Xiang Daying almost lost his breath.Immediately ordered the door to let Imperial Physician Lu come in and close the door tightly by the way.

As usual, Imperial Physician Lu checked Xiangyan's pulse, and then went outside to prescribe a prescription.

"How is the little girl?" Xiang Daying suppressed his anger.

"Third Miss, everything is fine as usual."

"Okay, Imperial Physician Lu." Xiang Daying held his wrist: "I always thought you were a good person, but I never thought that you were so bold. You are just an imperial physician, you... I already know everything about Yan'er , In the past few months, you have been hiding it from me so hard, do you know that you have hurt Yan'er for the rest of your life?"

Physician Lu suddenly stopped writing in his hand.

"It seems that what I said is the truth." Xiang Daying tore up the prescription prescribed by Imperial Physician Lu: "You have harmed my daughter, you have harmed her for the rest of her life, you..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang." Doctor Lu lowered his head. He usually doesn't talk much, but now he was a little angry: "I have no grievances or enmity with Mr. Xiang. Why did you do this? Do you still remember the day when the child was given three times?" The girl checked the pulse, and he told the truth, what was the result? He was almost beaten to death? I did all this just to seek justice for my son."

"you……"

"I came to feel the pulse that day because I wanted to avenge my son, but after feeling the third girl's pulse, I realized that the third girl's body is not suitable for pregnancy. With her physique, I'm afraid she can only have this one child in her life. Therefore, This child has to have it, and he has to have it, there is no choice.”

Xiang Daying let go of his hand and sat back in the chair in a daze.

"In the end, I failed the trust of Mr. Xiang, and I also insulted the reputation of the imperial physician. Although I have justified my son's name, I feel... not very happy. If Mr. Xiang... wants revenge, then come to me. I won't fight back."

"Let's go, let's go."

Physician Lu silently packed up his things and went away without looking back.

Tang Xiaoniang heard all this from behind the curtain, and couldn't help but want to rush out several times: "Why did the master let him go? He deliberately..."
