Chapter 57
The moment Xiyi fell into the water, Jiu Yiniang rolled her eyes and fainted on the ground. The second wife was anxious and angry, and shouted to the maids and women beside her: "What are you looking at, save people!"

Most of the servants of the Zhou family were brought over from their hometown in Huizhou, and they knew more or less water.Saving people is the most important thing, even if the second wife didn't give the order, a few women with good water skills would have taken off their shoes and jumped into the water one after another.Hearing someone go into the water, Jinxi let go of the trestle pile, and carried Xiyi into the water with peace of mind.

The siblings were pulled and dragged ashore by several women. Xiyi's face was pale with shock and fright, and she couldn't even cry. The blood on her face was mixed with water beads, dripping down continuously. The color changed from light to thick, and blood was all over the body, which was shocking.Hearing the Second Madam's loud order to find a doctor, Jin Xi closed her eyes tightly, and shouted desperately: "Don't kill me, don't kill me, Eleventh Aunt, please don't drown me and Seventh Brother. Even if there is Seventh brother, mother will also treat your son as a legitimate son!"

There was chaos on the trestle bridge, and Jin Xi's words clearly fell into everyone's ears.The red silk couldn't be stopped even if she wanted to, the second lady's face changed from blue to green, from green to red, changing several times in a row, it was like opening a dyeing workshop.Now everyone understood that Hongxiao thought that she would definitely have a son, so she wanted to get rid of the most favored seventh young master and entrust her son under the name of the second wife as a legitimate son.

The upright one snorted coldly, and couldn't hide her disgust when she looked at Hongxiao, let alone whether she could give birth to a son, even if she could, she would still be the eighth eldest, and there were three or four males in the second room, how could she take turns? Less than the youngest eighth young master to be his son.

The rose red skirt on Hongxiao's body was splashed with water, and the color was close to true red. The second lady stared at the skirt with a cold light in her eyes.Jin Xi's words were like an awl, every word piercing his heart.She squinted her eyes and instructed Madam Xie word by word: "What are you still doing in a daze, first carry Sixth Miss and Seventh Young Master to my room. Then let Zhu Yong go to the yamen to find the second master, and say that something serious happened at home! Please come back and preside over the overall situation!"

Xie Momo pushed aside the crowd and ran out. At this time, someone had already brought a spring stool to carry the drenched Jinxi and Xiyi to the second lady's room.Jin Xi turned around and threw herself at the feet of the second lady, grabbed the hem of her amber horse-face skirt, and cried, "Mother, help, please don't let the eleventh aunt drown me and the seventh brother."

Xiyi didn't know whether she was frightened or she was being hugged by Jinxi all the time, and she felt dependent on her, so she hugged the second lady's thigh in a similar way, and she knew how to cry at the top of her voice when she couldn't speak.At this time, the second lady didn't think the two of them were dirty, she put her arm around one, and coaxed lovingly: "Don't be afraid, with the aunt here, let me see who dares to harm the second master's flesh and blood!"

The second wife bit the word 'aunt' very hard, even though she was speaking to the Jin Xi siblings, she kept staring at Hong Kao from the corner of her eyes.Hongxiao, who had come to her senses, didn't care, so what about Mingmei's regular wife, after all, she was just a house-filler, not much more noble than her.If the waist is strong, why bother to curry favor with her these days.

Since she entered the door, the second wife gave supplements, clothing and jewelry every now and then.Not only did she avoid asking her to greet her in the morning and evening, but she also asked the kitchen to cook delicious meals for her.Being so obsequious is not because she wants her to say a few nice words in front of the second master, so as to gain a good reputation for being virtuous and magnanimous.A woman who can't give birth to a son, what capital does she have to show off her prestige.

Hong Kao had long since disregarded the Second Madam, put her hands on her hips and purposely pushed her stomach forward, and snorted coldly: "Madam can't just say things like killing the Second Master's flesh and blood, Caiyue's body is still parked in Dali Temple , if you say such things again, others will think our Zhou Mansion is a den of jackals!"

"Our Zhou family's family of poems and books emphasizes benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, how could it be a den of wolves. If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful, I will report to the old lady for family law!" The second lady disdain to bicker with a concubine in front of her servants .Bending down to pick up Xiyi, she told Bi Ling, "You help Eleventh Concubine to the Jingyu Hall and wait for the second master to be released. If Eleventh Concubine makes a mistake, be careful of your life."

The crowd surrounded the second lady and walked away. Hongxiao spat thick phlegm at her back, clutching her stomach and just said "Ouch", Bi Ling covered her mouth in fright, and said anxiously: "Grandma, please calm down!" Let's wait a while, the seventh young master is the second master's favorite, you might as well think about how to explain it to the second master if you are in trouble!"

"What are you afraid of? I also have the flesh and blood of the second master in my stomach. I don't believe that the second master can kill me for something that doesn't grow up?" Hongxiao spat on the bridge again, stroking her swollen belly , confidently said: "Obviously that fool carried Seventh Young Master into the pond by himself, what does it have to do with me? What am I afraid of?"

Bi Ling rolled her eyes to the sky, not knowing where Hong Xiao's self-confidence came from.You say Miss Six jumped into the lotus pond by herself, and someone has to believe it!In front of so many people, the second master can't afford to favor you.Even if the second master is willing to believe it, the madam will not have a good time!Don't think it's great to have a piece of meat in your stomach, which woman can't give birth?More you are not much, less you are not much, the most important thing that the second room lacks is children!
Thinking that the tenderness and sweetness between her and Zhou Bohai last night was interrupted by Jiu Yiniang sent by the red silk, Bi Ling wished she could push the red silk into the lotus pond.It's fine for her to be overwhelmed by this idiot all these years, but will her son also bow down in front of this idiot's son in the future?It's not enough to be honored as brother, and the family property needs to be reduced, why?
"After a while, the second master asked, and you said that the sixth girl suddenly went crazy and jumped into the lotus pond with the seventh young master in her arms. Anyway, there was no one around at that time. I don't believe it. We can't talk about a yellow-haired girl?" Hongxiao said for a long time. Hearing Bi Ling's response, she turned her face and saw that Bi Ling's eyes were fixed, she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly she became angry, and slapped her face with her hands.

Bi Ling dodges subconsciously, and then Hong Hom remembers that she still has something to ask her, so she suppresses her anger and apologizes with a smile, "What are you thinking? I'm talking to you!" Swipe it a few times, "The water surface is not clean, you see this bug almost flew into your eyes."

"Don't worry, Auntie! This servant knows what to say!" Bi Ling repeatedly agreed, but she sneered in her heart. Of course I know what to say, even if I don't, the slap you just slapped me made me understand!

When the two of them entered the second wife's room, the doctor happened to be there too.Jin Xi refused to let him take the pulse, and only yelled to beg his brother quickly.She is so sensible at such a young age, but she suffers so often, a few honest women in the room turned their backs and secretly wiped their tears. After hearing the news, the old lady rushed in and out of the door. The old man burst into tears, "My poor granddaughter!"

"Grandmother, don't worry, I'm fine. Take a quick look at Seventh Brother. Eleventh Aunt has scratched his face. I beg the doctor to save Seventh Brother!" Jin Xi tried to sit up with support but couldn't do it. Insufficient, she didn't get up after getting up a few times, it's not that she pretended to be pretending on purpose, Mrs. Bo is pitiful, she is really tired and can't get up.When she was in the water, she was afraid that Xiyi would choke on the water, so she kept dragging him hard, and she was already exhausted.

The old lady took a few steps forward and hugged Jinxi in her arms, crying heartily.Jin Xi also hugged the old lady tightly, tears streaming out in disbelief.Even if what Caiyue said was true, the old lady's love for her was mixed with guilt and selfishness, but the rest was genuine love, she had no doubts about that.

"Although the seventh young master was shocked, fortunately he was rescued in time, and there will be no serious problem after drinking a few doses of medicine, just..." The doctor hesitated, and the old lady slapped the edge of the bed and shouted sharply: "What is it? Don't care about the expensive medicine. You just prescribe prescriptions and go bankrupt, and I can't just watch my grandson die!"

Jin Xi arched into the old lady's arms again, her small face pressed against the old lady's chest, suppressing her smile violently, not daring to show any complacency.She finally begged for this sentence for Xiyi, because Zhou Bohai had been favoring Jiu Yiniang in the past few years, and the old lady was full of hostility towards Jiu Yiniang, thinking that she was seductive and seductive, and Zhou Bohai was spoiled, and she didn't even like Xiyi.

The second lady was afraid that Zhou Bohai would disregard Zhou Boshan and the old lady's objections, and entrust Xiyi under her name as his son-in-law. She also bribed many people openly and secretly to speak ill of Jiu Yiniang's mother and son in front of the old lady.Xiyi grew up so big, the old lady didn't even look at him.After Hongxiao entered the door, Zhou Bohai's obsession was captivated, and Jiu Yiniang's mother and son were left behind.Just because he doesn't care about Xiyi, doesn't mean that the second wife doesn't care either.Even if Jiu Yiniang was with her day and night, Xiyi's life became more and more difficult every day.Not to mention the lack of things, he was punished at every turn, and he was not allowed to be enlightened when he was four years old. It was obvious that he wanted to raise him.

Hongxiao dared to blatantly harm Xiyi, who knows if she was instigated by the second lady?
At this moment, the old lady called Xiyi a grandson in public, which is more useful than any kind of favor, and it is simply a talisman for Jiu Yiniang's mother and son.Xiyi is smart and cute, as long as she seizes the opportunity, let Xiyi get closer to the old lady.The old lady will naturally understand that Xiyi likes Xiyi.The more Jin Xi thought about it, the happier she became. She secretly looked at the expression of the second lady from under the old lady's arm, and saw that the second lady was pretending to be calm, but her thin lips were drawn into a line, and her eyebrows involuntarily raised upward.

Be angry, be angry, deserve it!Having been together for more than half a year, Jin Xi knew what the Second Madam was most afraid of. The old lady's words were like a rope being wrapped around the Second Madam's neck. This rare opportunity, Jin Xi quickly added another firewood. "Grandmother, don't worry, the seventh brother is my father's flesh and blood. Our Zhou family's ancestors will definitely bless him. In the future, he can grow into a man and perform filial piety by my grandmother. I will give birth to many children to beat your legs!"

"You silly child, I can't wait for that day!" Jin Xi said with a sullen face, speaking childishly, the old lady was teased by her, and swept Xi Yi beside her. With a glance, he asked the doctor, "You said it's all right, why hasn't the child woke up yet?"
