Chapter 224 Stepmother
The emperor suddenly paid more attention to the least favored Zhu Dezhi, which made many people nervous.The impeachment of Zhu Dezhi has also increased, such as taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ministry of Works to corrupt the law, soliciting the party for personal gain, conniving at the wives and family to oppress the people, all kinds of things, the emperor suppressed them all.

Whether in Fuqingyuan or Ma Erlang's mouth, Xie Xian'er would occasionally listen to it.One day, I heard the old lady whispering to the old man, "...they can't stabilize..."

After October, the old man's body relapsed. Old doctor Hua moved into the Fuqing courtyard, and brother An moved out to live in Yicuixuan, the grandma's house.The old lady also didn't allow the women's family members and children to go to Fuqingyuan again, only a few men went there to serve the sick after they left the Yamen.

When the emperor heard about this, he specially appointed an imperial doctor to help with diagnosis and treatment.Although his condition finally stabilized, it is said that not only his body has deteriorated greatly, but also he has become more insane. Sometimes he even had to be tied up with a rope to keep him from going insane.Ma Fu has already started preparations for the funeral.

Some people brought out by the old man himself, such as Dudu Hu, Commander Xie, Shangshu He, Zongbing Yang and others, even came to see him specially.However, they didn't meet each other, and when they left, they also had a sad expression.

Duke Yu's mansion fell into panic.Everyone knew that if the old man was gone, the Ma family's position in the emperor's heart and in the court would be greatly reduced.

Xie Xian'er was one of the few insiders. She guessed that some major event might happen in the court, which would make the old man pretend to be crazy again.However, she was not interested in these major national events, nor did she take it to heart, and lived her own life behind closed doors.

As the due date approached, Xie Xian'er's stomach became heavier, she was fat, her stomach was big, and her legs began to swell.Especially in the afternoon, the calf was swollen and shiny, and every time I pressed it, there was a pit.The deity is young, and her physical fitness is too weak, Xie Xian'er is a little nervous, fearing that she will die when she gives birth. "Tears" food supplements and light beads physiotherapy were also used more often.

These two things are double-edged swords, not only beneficial to her body, but also beneficial to the child in her stomach.The more you use it, the faster your child will grow.

The women in the Ma Mansion initially thought that she might be pregnant with twins, so they invited the most experienced imperial physicians and doctors to check the pulse, and they said it was a single pregnancy, but the child was too big.Let Xie Xian'er eat less and move more, otherwise it will be bad for having a baby.

Because of the doctor's advice, Xie Xian'er's hard life came.All the delicious food in Jiange was cleaned up by Ma Erlang and given away to others, and Mother Zhou urged Xie Xianer to exercise regularly every day.

For her own life, Xie Xian'er actively cooperated.Eat less and move more, the growth of my stomach finally slowed down.But the little greedy cat is too unhappy, so he often goes to other yards to eat and drink.The most frequent visit must be Qin's yard, which is close. Qin also likes this little guest, and often cooks some delicious food for him.

However, Bai Ou would still make some good snacks from time to time, not only to satisfy the little greedy cats like Tai Chi, but also for the big greedy cat Zhu Deyong.

The Jumas Amusement Park has opened. There are not only fun, but also famous food and brand clothing. The business is booming.The sons and daughters of officials who have money and leisure will go to play from time to time, but ordinary people who have a little spare money will also go to learn a lot.Even wealthy businessmen from faraway Jiangnan, Haicheng and other affluent places did not travel thousands of miles to play here.

Zhu Deyong has been there a few times, but he doesn't want to go again. He still wants to come to the amusement park in Mafu, because the food in Zhu Mashi is not as good as that of his sister's.The Ma family is very busy now, the old man is in poor health, and Xie Xian'er is about to give birth again, how can he have the time to entertain him?Probably the emperor also knew that his son was annoying, so he asked him to come every ten days.

Madam Ma asked Bai Ou to make Zhu Deyong's favorite snacks and send them to the palace every now and then.After pleasing Zhu Deyong, the emperor can also relieve his greed by the way, and everyone is happy.

Xie Xianer's due date is the middle of winter.As soon as it entered late October, the people in Jiange took strict precautions, and two experienced midwives moved in.

In the afternoon of that day, Brother Zhen, Tai Chi, and Sister Xiong went to Qin's yard again, and Xie Xian'er helped Nanny Zhou to circle around in the yard.The weather in early winter is already very cold, but the sunshine at this time is just right, and it is the hottest time of the day.Xie Xianer wore a half-worn orange jacket and brown pleated skirt, and there were already a few small beads of sweat on the tip of her nose.

Nanny Zhou wiped her with a handkerchief, and persuaded, "Second/Grandma, let's go under the tree. Although there are not many leaves hanging on the tree, it should be shaded. It's easy for you to be cold and hot like this. Cold."

Xie Xian'er needs more sunlight to replenish calcium. The child grows too fast, so more calcium is needed.It's not easy to tell Nanny Zhou that she is taking calcium supplements, so she just smiled and walked wherever there was no shade.

At this time, the girl came to report that brother Xian had come.

Xie Xian'er saw that Brother Xian's expression was not as happy as usual, but like when he just met, frowning and pouting, looking like a depressed little old man.

Asked in surprise, "Yo, who messed with my brother today?"

Brother Xian came over and pulled Xie Xianer's skirt, and gently buried his face on her big belly, and said softly, "Mother, I will not leave from now on, I will always be with Mother."

It was obvious from the way he looked that something was wrong.Xie Xian'er touched his head and asked, "What's wrong with Brother Xian? Are you angry with Daddy?"

"Well," Brother Xian raised his head, his eye circles were a little red, and said, "Daddy is going to marry me a stepmother. Brother Xian doesn't like stepmother. Daddy was crippled by stepmother, and I was almost crippled by daddy too. His stepmother was killed."

Xie Xian'er was taken aback, and asked, "Tell Mother clearly, what's going on?"

Brother Xian said angrily, "Grandfather Huang told Daddy a daughter-in-law."

Xie Xianer asked Fan Die, "What's going on?"

Fen Die said, "Today, the emperor issued an order to propose marriage to Shi Ziye and Miss He from He Shangshu's mansion. The young master was not happy, so he came here arguing."

"Miss He, is He Jiao?" Xie Xian'er was a little uncertain.

"Yes, this is Miss He." Fendie said.

Xie Xian'er was astonished, it was simply unbelievable.Zhu Deyi and He Jiao are people from two worlds.A living environment is too complicated, and a deep-minded and unsmiling personality has been developed.A living environment is too simple, and she is a happy and charming girl who is favored by her parents and brothers.

Thinking of Zhu Deyi's cold face that others owed him money, surrounded by a chattering basket, it is really a bit joyful.

 Thank you for your monthly pass and gift, thank you very much!Qingquan was a little busy a few days ago, and it was off for a few days. I'm sorry, please forgive me.
