Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 403: Jiao Xing was born prematurely

After everyone rescued Pingyang, they quickly wrapped her in a thick blanket and filled her with a pot of hot water.

 Fortunately, Pingyang recovered after drinking hot water.

She stared intently at Li Xiang, who was holding Jiao Xing not far away.

 There is confusion in the eyes, but also full of hatred!

Jingshu and Xu Wanning helped Pingyang get into the carriage. They helped her take off her wet clothes and put on thick dry clothes, then greeted the coachman back home.

  Along the way, Pingyang didn’t say a word.

Jingshu held Pingyang in her arms and sat aside in a depressed manner. Xu Wanning, who was always quick to talk, also sighed and was speechless the whole time.

 After returning to Xianglinyuan, Jingshu sent for a doctor.

The fetus in Pingyang’s belly was already seven months old. It was at the time when the body was at its heaviest. The doctor took Pingyang’s pulse carefully and examined it. Fortunately, Pingyang had no serious problems with the fetus in his belly except for occasional wind and cold.

  After learning that Pingyang and the child were fine, Jing Shu and Xu Wanning breathed a long sigh of relief, but Pingyang's face was cold and there was no trace of a smile.

Pingyang and Jiaoxing were both pregnant with Li Xiang's flesh and blood. They fell into the water at the same time. Li Xiang actually left her as his wife to save his concubine. No matter how simple and stupid Pingyang was, she now understood her husband's feelings towards her.

 Sadness, despair, and the shame and anger of being deceived, Pingyang has never been so heartbroken as now.

Jing Shu and Xu Naning couldn't see Pingyang's sadness. Xu Wanning sighed and racked his brains to comfort Pingyang and said: "Such a disaster suddenly happened today. At that time, everyone was on their backs. My third brother probably didn't see clearly that it was you. Otherwise, There's no way he would want to save that one."

 Speaking, Xu Wanning looked at Jingshu and asked, "What is the name of the concubine?"

Ever since she entered the house, this charming lady has behaved herself and never left the house. Not to mention that Xu Wanning didn't know her very well, and even Pingyang, the eldest lady, rarely paid her any attention.

As everyone knows, this most inconspicuous little woman is actually the true love of Li Xiang.

Naturally, Jingshu didn't know that Li Xiang was so deeply in love with Jiao Xing. When she first married into the palace, Li Xiang and Jiao Xing violated the family rules, and the manager did not go back to the old lady because of his intolerance. , but reported the matter to Jingshu, who had just married into the family and had not yet taken charge of the family, so that she was sure that Jingshu, the bride, would not embarrass Li Xiang and Jiao Xing too much.

Just imagine, a bride who has just entered the house and is already married to a high family, since she does not have a head, will naturally not use the affairs in her brother-in-law's house to show her prestige.

Even Jingshu herself did not expect that Li Xiang, who was still childish at the time, would actually have deep affection for this little girl. Even after marrying a wife like Pingyang who was outstanding in family, talent and appearance, he would still be her lover. Jiao Xing regards her as her true love.

Pingyang lowered his head and said dullly to his two sisters-in-law: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I know you all really care about me. You don't have to worry about me. I still have children."

As she spoke, she sniffed, trying not to let tears fall, and choked up: "It's okay if he doesn't have me in his heart. From now on, I'll just keep an eye on the children."

Seeing Pingyang like this, both Jingshu and Xu Wanning felt distressed. Jingshu replied: "You are the third brother's real wife. Now that you know the third brother's thoughts, it would be best if you can really look away. If you are unhappy, you can There is no need to hold back, after that Jiao Xing gives birth to the child, just send her to the original village." Xu Wanning also echoed: "That's right! It's best for a man to be able to rely on you. If you can't hope for it, We can't hold ourselves back. You hadn't even entered the house when I was having trouble with your eldest brother. Didn't you see that old boy Li Xian was so confused when he was seduced by that foxy girl? Hmph! You are still trying to make peace with me, but luckily I can tolerate it, otherwise I would have to eat fast and chant Buddha's name in the temple for the rest of my life."

As she said that, she wiped the tears from the corners of Pingyang's eyes with a handkerchief and advised her: "If you feel unhappy, just like your second sister-in-law said, just drive that concubine out."

“Life is short, men can do as much as they like. We women should not be too **** ourselves to be serious.”

Jing Shu and Xu Wanning were having trouble around Pingyang. Yuzhu glanced at Jingshu and Xu Wanning with a worried expression. Just as he was hesitating, Pingyang said, "What's the matter? The two sisters-in-law are not outsiders, so just say it."

Yuzhu then replied hesitantly: "Madam, I just heard from Su Yue from across the hospital that Aunt Xing was frightened outside. She was afraid that she might have had fetal gas. Now that she has seen redness, she is afraid that the child will be born prematurely. I heard that Aunt Xing The situation is quite critical. The third master asked Grandma Wang to be brought over. Look at this."

 Grandma Wang is the dowry nun of Pingyang, who specializes in delivering babies. When Pingyang got married, Princess Yongqin specially married the best midwife in the palace to her for the purpose of giving birth to her daughter.

Jiao Xing is in such critical condition that it may be too late to ask for a midwife outside the house. Grandma Wang is in the house and is a master, so naturally she is the safest choice.

But now Pingyang already knows Li Xiang's thoughts. If he instructs his dowry midwife to do something, I'm afraid that both Jiao Xing, mother and child will be in danger.

As Li Xiang's wife, Pingyang also has Prince Yong's Mansion as a backer. If you want to get rid of Jiao Xing, it won't take any effort at all, but if you don't want people to see any flaws, this is a good opportunity.

Hence, Yuzhu looked embarrassed when she reported this matter in front of Jingshu and Xu Wanning.

Jingshu and Xu Wanning have been immersed in the back house for many years, and they can't see Yuzhu's thoughts. They just sit aside pretending to be deaf and dumb, deliberately trying to protect Pingyang.

After hearing Yuzhu's reply, Pingyang replied without thinking: "Immediately invite Granny Wang to Kuoyuan and tell her that she must do her best to protect their mother and son."

Yuzhu is Pingyang's personal maid, so she naturally knows Pingyang's temperament best. She had expected that Pingyang would act like this, and now that she has Pingyang's orders, she is not too surprised. She just sighed helplessly and left the room, anxiously I went to look for Mrs. Wang anxiously.

Xu Wanning sighed quickly: "People like us are destined to be soft-hearted and unable to be ruthless."

  When Gong Ji Meiniang was pregnant, no matter how much Xu Wanning hated her, she was like Ping Yang and never thought of attacking the innocent child in her belly.

Pingyang smiled bitterly and said: "I don't have the ability to keep my husband's heart, so why should I anger others, let alone attack an innocent child? I have my own flesh and blood, but I don't think about my own good fortune, and I have to care about the child." We thought. What's more, since he came to ask me to borrow Mrs. Wang, he knew that I would not take advantage of others' danger. If he can trust me so much, we have not spent all these years in vain. "

After hearing Pingyang's words, Xu Wanning couldn't help but sigh: "This third brother is really blind. He doesn't cherish a good daughter-in-law like you, but takes a concubine in his heart. The little girl I saw today is nothing more than her appearance." Ping Ping, they are not as pretty as the two in my yard, hey! This third brother is really obsessed with me, it really is not what he has set his sights on that girl."

Pingyang smiled bitterly and replied: "Not only can you not understand, sister-in-law, but I also can't understand how I am inferior to her. Maybe, I feel good about myself, but I just can't get into the eyes of the third master."

Jingshu tried to persuade Pingyang, "You are in no way better than Jiao Xing in every aspect. The only thing that is not as good as her is that she met your third brother earlier than you, so it's not your fault."
