The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 338
However, when Mrs. He left the cabinet, the two elders of the Qi family were still alive, so the dowry should have been quite a lot.

The maid led Zhao Jing into the main hall, and smelled the smell of herbal medicine. Zhao Jing had started to feel sick these few days, and felt a little uncomfortable after smelling the smell, so she just covered her mouth and retched.

Lu Wu hurriedly supported Zhao Jing to sit down, at this time the curtain inside flashed, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old maid came out, blessed Zhao Jing and said, "Return to Madam, our wife can't get up, please ask Madam See you inside."

Zhao Jing thought to herself that when she saw Mrs. He last time, although she had a bad complexion, at least she was not so weak, but now it's only been more than half a month, why can't she get up?
She nodded towards the maid, and told Lu Wu, "You and Liu Sui are waiting at the door, I will call you later if I have something to do."

Hearing the words, the servant girl who sent the message only looked outside, but couldn't help asking: "Has Liu Sui come back too? Our wife is thinking about Cousin, how is she doing recently?"

Zhao Jing did not reply to her words, but said to her: "Take me in to meet your wife."

When the servant girl heard the words, she didn't say anything, but led Zhao Jing into the room.

Zhao Jing never imagined, but she hadn't seen her for more than half a month, and Mrs. He was already looking so skinny.She was leaning on the bed, with a thick pillow behind her, she was so thin that she was out of shape, only her lower abdomen was still protruding, it could be seen that she was a pregnant woman.

"Ma'am, this is..." Although Zhao Jing only met Mrs. He once, and thinking that she sent Miss Qi to the Hou Mansion on her own initiative, she didn't pay much attention to herself as the hostess. It is inevitable that there is some complaint in my heart, but now seeing her like this, I can't complain anymore.

"Have you let the doctor see it? How do you say it?" Zhao Jing calmed down and asked slowly.

"Why haven't I seen the doctor, but the doctor can't tell what's wrong, he just said to have a good life, the more you raise your body, the less strength you have." Madam He's voice was all superficial, but she turned red when she saw Zhao Jing, and pulled Holding her hand, she said: "If madam blames me, just blame me alone. I really can't think of any other way. Only your Hou's house is still prosperous among relatives. I can't just sit and watch my sister being given by that beast." Wasted!"

Mrs. He gritted her teeth when she said this, although she didn't have much strength, she still pulled Zhao Jing's wrist with a slight pain.Zhao Jing looked at her appearance, and became more and more convinced that she was not the kind of person who would spoil Miss Qi, so she patted the back of her hand, and simply asked: "Then madam...Madam really never thought about letting Miss Qi Will you stay in our Hou Mansion for a long time?"

Although Zhao Jing said this in a tactful manner, Mrs. He is also a smart person after all, so she understood it as soon as she heard it, and her expression changed immediately, and she couldn't speak completely for a while.Zhao Jing was afraid that she would get pregnant, so she hurriedly said: "Madam, don't worry, the story here needs to be told to you slowly!"

The hourglass in the corner was still ticking, Liu Sui finished speaking, then knelt down in front of Mrs. He, raised her eyelids to see Mrs. He's reaction.

Zhao Jing watched Mrs. He half leaning on the bed, her slender fingers wished she could strangle the brocade covering her body.Panting heavily, she raised her head and asked Zhao Jing, "Then... where is that old Diao Nu now? I... I sold her immediately!" Hastily stepped forward to follow her back.

Seeing her appearance, Zhao Jing blamed herself a little more, and also went up to comfort her, saying, "Madam, don't get angry, Madam Zhong is still in the Hou's mansion, I let the servants watch her, she can't escape even a single step of."

After hearing this, Madam He breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out her hand to grab Zhao Jing's hand, and hurriedly ordered to the maid beside her, "Nian Xia, you...you go and take the red sandalwood box in my chest of drawers. come over……"

The servant girl stopped her movements when she heard the words, and said while wiping her tears, "Madam, don't worry, this servant girl will fetch it right away."

Zhao Jing didn't know what Mrs. He was going to do, so she stepped forward and patted her on the back. During this time, she was bent into a ball, and she couldn't help coughing, her whole body was shaking violently, and the little maid beside her hurriedly Taking a sputum box from the pedal, Mrs. He spat into it. Zhao Jing glanced over, but saw a mouthful of bloody sputum that was thick and black.

Zhao Jing was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of Madam He's mouth, then lay her flat again and said, "Don't worry, ma'am. It's my fault again. It’s not good if you get angry with me.”

"This has nothing to do with you..." Mrs. He had already recovered at this time, took Zhao Jing's hand and said, "I only have this younger sister, so I naturally don't want her to be ruined by others, but I'm afraid that the time will not be right now." If there are too many, I will hand her over to you today, and she will be your own sister in the future, okay?"

Seeing her like this, Zhao Jing couldn't help but shed tears, but she still smiled and comforted her: "Ma'am, don't say such frustrating words, I was the one who treated the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart before, so don't blame me. "

"How can I blame you? My sister is not a strong-willed person. I just sent her a mother Zhong. I only think that she will help her when she is older and strong-willed. Who knows that she... "

Mrs. He hadn't finished speaking when the maid from just now brought over a box, so Mrs. He opened the box and looked inside, put a deed of sale in Zhao Jing's palm and said: "This is the bell of that clock. Madam's family's deed of sale, please handle it for me..."

Madam He breathed a sigh of relief after finishing speaking, and continued: "Fortunately... I was careful that day and didn't give her all of Xinrui's dowry."
