Noble Lady

Chapter 235: A Chance of Life

"Doctor Chen, how are they? Are they okay?"

Seeing that Doctor Chen had taken the pulse of He Ruyi and Ji Minrou, Liu stood up and asked nervously.

"Old Madam, you are blessed with great fortune. Fortunately, you have someone here who knows some medical skills. This cousin's pregnancy is not yet fully established. If she is not treated in time, I am afraid the baby in her belly will be in danger."

"Your second aunt's pregnancy is stable, and there's no damage to her foundation. As long as she rests for a while and takes two doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine, she'll be fine."

"What does Doctor Chen mean?"

"Don't worry, old lady. Both of them are safe now. I'll prescribe a prescription for each of them. They'll be fine after taking a few doses."

"Then I'll have to trouble Doctor Chen!" Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

Doctor Chen said it was okay and went out to prescribe medicine.

Mother Huang followed him out smartly: all the dirty things here have nothing to do with her, and the right thing for her to do is to distance herself from them as soon as possible.

"Qiuyue Yushu, you two are the maids that came with Second Aunt. We allowed you to marry into the family so that you could summon Second Aunt, not so that you could watch her act capriciously."

Qiuyue and Yushu knelt down at the same time, "Old Madam, please spare my life!"

Liu was about to curse a few more times, but after seeing the jade book clearly, she gave up the idea, "You are now married to the Cui family with my second aunt, so I will not punish you. The Cui family will take care of it."

What this meant was that they failed to take good care of their master and almost caused He Ruyi to have a miscarriage, and the Cui family would not let them go.

The Cui family must care more about the child in He Ruyi's belly than the He family. Once they find out about this, Qiuyue and Yushu will be in trouble.

"Madam, please have mercy on me!" Yu Shu was extremely panicked.

Qiuyue even knelt down and didn't dare to look up.

Yu Shu at least asked her son-in-law to move into the room, but she hasn't moved into the room yet, so how could something go wrong?

Liu kicked her and walked away without even looking.

"And Mama Zhang and Camellia, you two are also responsible for failing to take good care of our cousin."

"I know, I'm wrong..." Mother Zhang's face was swollen and she was trembling.

Camellia also knelt on the ground, "Please punish me, old lady."

"Since you haven't done your job well, each of you should get twenty... no, ten strokes of the cane." Liu changed her words temporarily.

After being beaten with twenty boards, there was no one to take care of Rouer.

Wouldn't she have to take care of him personally then?

Camellia and Mother Zhang both breathed a sigh of relief.

Their lives were saved!

As for what will happen to Qiuyue and Yushu, no one knows.

Mother Zhang called Chahua over, gave Ji Minrou some hot water, and changed her hand towel.

When Chahua was feeding Ji Minrou water, she met her eyes. She curled her lips coldly, as if mocking her innocence.

Camellia felt even more upset.

It was clearly the second aunt and the cousin who wanted to eat those things, but no matter how Mother Zhang tried to persuade them, they refused to listen and even beat her.

But when the old lady pursued the matter, she just watched her beat them without saying a word.

What a crappy cousin, she seems gentle and considerate on the surface, but actually she is a nasty person!

The He family is full of rotten things.

Except Madam...

Thinking of what she said to Xue Chenyu in Furongju, Camellia couldn't help but tear up.

The lady was kind enough to help her, but she still thought that way.

But Sister Yuzhu helped her again...

After He Ruyi and Ji Minrou drank the pregnancy-maintaining medicine and recovered, Mother Zhang and Chahua each went to receive ten strokes of the cane.

So, the news that He Ruyi and Ji Minrou ate something bad and had a miscarriage spread.

The servants were all saying that Second Aunt, knowing full well that the cousin was pregnant, and with an adult's child, and that the pregnancy wasn't yet firmly established, had deliberately brought cold food into the house and had her eat it, hoping to cause the cousin to miscarry. ...

……

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Camellia to the girl."

After the news of Liu's treatment of Zhang Mama and Camellia spread, Yuzhu ran to the rose rack and kicked stones. She had kicked 108 stones and did not dare to go back to face Xue Chenyu.

"The girl doesn't blame you. If I really wanted to blame you, why would I let you talk so much to her?" Qiuhua crossed her arms and looked calm.

Yuzhu was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Qiu Hua sighed, "You are usually smart, but why do you become confused at the critical moment?"

"Although the girl had such thoughts in mind during the cold tea ceremony, she didn't want her to be treated as an object and sent to He Minzhi's bed, so that Ji Minrou could get what she wanted."

"So, that push you made on Camellia was what the girl wanted you to do. Look, didn't she learn it very well?"

Although Yuzhu wasn't the smartest girl, she was eager to protect her master and had a simple mind. Many things could be done with her, and it was indeed possible to get twice the result with half the effort. It made sense for the young lady to trust her so much.

Qiuhua's words were like enlightenment to Yuzhu, and everything in his mind was enlightened.

The girl showed her disappointment, so she pushed Camellia angrily. Camellia only had her skin slightly scratched, but she gained hope from her pushing action and the words she said.

This was the girl's plan from the beginning!

"I'm so stupid. How come I don't understand the girl's painstaking efforts at all!" Yuzhu knocked her head anxiously.

"That's enough. You're not very smart to begin with. If you keep knocking, you'll be really stupid." Xue Chenyu's voice sounded half teasing.

Hear the sound.

Yuzhu and Qiuhua turned around and saluted in unison, "Miss."

"Girl, I was wrong before, I... I..." Yuzhu thought she was tongue-tied. She had all the right ideas in her mind, but when she really wanted to speak, she didn't know what to say.

Xue Chenyu raised her eyebrows, "If you all just stand here, people outside will know that the He family's cousin is pregnant with He Hanlin's child?"

"The second aunt of the He family almost ruined her own brother's firstborn child. Is there no one speaking up for that child?"

As soon as these words came out, Yuzhu's eyes lit up, "Girl, I know what to do! I'll go right away."

Then he went into the house happily.

She was busy next.

"Sister Yuzhu, what are you going to do so happily?"

"The girl has something to tell you, so you should go and listen to her instructions."

Yumei, who was walking towards her, greeted her. Yuzhu just responded perfunctorily and left quickly.

Yumei smiled helplessly and walked under the rose rack.

"Miss, do you have any instructions?" Yumei asked respectfully, not avoiding Qiuhua, and said directly, "The person said that if you have any instructions, please feel free to ask."

Xue Chenyu said calmly: "Don't bother, I can handle this little thing myself."

If it comes to dealing with a bastard like He Minzhi, it would be fine if Prince Cheng could help.

Now that she has decided to draw a clear line between herself and Prince Cheng, there is no need to get involved with each other anymore.

Even if they are the closest people, if it is just Ji Minrou and He Ruyi, then it is a matter between women, and it is better for men not to interfere.

……

Mother Zhang and Camellia were punished because the cold things He Ruyi brought almost harmed Ji Minrou. One of them was beaten with ten boards and had no rest. He had to serve Ji Minrou miserably.

There were not many servants in the mansion to begin with, and as time went by, everyone was afraid that they would get into such a situation, and tried to avoid it as much as possible. At the same time, the news that the second aunt wanted to cause the cousin to have a miscarriage somehow spread to the He family.

The news that Camellia panicked and stopped Doctor Chen's carriage in the street also spread.

Someone who was nearby at the time said they heard with their own ears the He family's maidservant repeatedly saying, "My cousin ate something cold and I'm afraid she's going to have a miscarriage. Please, Doctor Chen, help her!"

Originally, perhaps only a few people knew that the He family had a cousin.

Others also didn't know that this cousin of the He family had grown up in the He family since she was a child, and after she got married and became a widow, she was taken in by Liu He Minzhi and her son.

But who asked Liu and He Minzhi to personally visit General Du to thank the horse slave who saved He Ruyi because of the horse-frightened incident at He Ruyi's wedding? He is now famous.

This is great. When people heard that it was about the He family, they became more interested.

But as the news spread, the story of Camellia stopping a doctor's car in the street and shouting for help, and the story of He's cousin almost having a miscarriage after eating the cold food given by He's second aunt who got married, spread.

After everyone inquired about Ji Minrou's situation, they gradually realized that something was wrong.
