Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 37

There was a sudden burst of dampness and heat on his cheeks, and a faint salty taste tasted at the corner of his mouth. Qi Haoming saw her crying suddenly, and his expression became flustered. He wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to speak. He moved his lips but said nothing. With one hand tightly holding the jade flute around his waist, he accompanied him quietly.

If this seemingly unbelievable rebirth is God's compensation for her, and compensation for her being involved unintentionally, so God will also make up for his shortcomings, if he lives alone, if he never marries after she dies...

Nanyang Hou's Mansion, the place where Yingxiu had had nightmares for five years, was a place that she never wanted to enter after her rebirth, and she didn't want to have any communication with Qi Haosheng.

But there is still a voice in my heart, don't run away, only you know that you have missed that last life, even if you remarry in this life, if it wasn't for him, Yingxiu would have difficulty forgetting that she has done it unconsciously so many men.

His kindness eroded her life as slowly as a gurgling water but so obviously, Yingxiu raised her head, met her eyes, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

She quickly flashed her eyes, and her cheeks became hot again, "Master Qi, it's a big matter of marriage, and it's not appropriate to make an appointment in private, not to mention our disparity in identities, Yingxiu dare not have such delusions, please, Master Qi, don't open Yingying Just a joke."

"I'm not joking with Ms. Shen." Qi Haoming was eager to explain, and suddenly something flashed in his mind, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes. Did she agree?

"There are a lot of guests here, and lonely men and widows are arousing criticism. Please respect yourself, Young Master Qi." Yingxiu's face was rarely sullen, but seeing the sly scene on his face, she remembered that her cousin was in company with her partner. Helping him, keeping herself in the dark, Yingxiu was a little angry with him.

"It's because I didn't think carefully, please forgive me, Miss Shen." Qi Haoming got the answer he wanted, turned around and called Zhuo Ye to come in, and when he came out of the Nuan Pavilion, Qi Haoming looked at the clear sky and was in a happy mood Standing up, she said to the people behind her, "Zhuo Ye, little fan, she agreed."

"Congratulations, young master." Zhuo Ye's unchanging voice came from behind, Qi Haoming smiled without hesitation, even though what she said was like that, he knew she didn't refuse, it's really good, really good ...

Not long after Qi Haoming left, Shiya came back, and as soon as she entered the Nuan Pavilion, she found that something was wrong with Yingxiu, her eyes were red as if she had cried, she took Yingxiu's hand and worried, "Why are you crying, isn't it that?" The guy bullied you!"

Yingxiu looked at her nervous appearance, her words revealed that she knew who had been there, she turned her head angrily, "What if I bully you?"

"If he dares to bully, I'll beat him up!" Shiya pulled her away anxiously to look carefully at the bruises on her face, and then turned her around to look around, "Tell me if he is Bullied you."

"Cousin just came back and knew that someone had come, and who was it?"

Shi Ya's hands stopped, and she let go with a hey smile, with a hint of resentment on her face, "You know all about it."

"Would you like to know? Well, you guys are cheating on me together with my cousin." Yingxiu pinched her, "You don't have to worry about me being bullied!"

"I also listened to what my cousin said, and my sister-in-law asked me to pick you up, so I didn't intend to lie to you." Shiya looked at her with red eyes, and quickly coaxed, "I just think what my cousin said It's reasonable, let's talk about how Young Master Qi's body bullied you, Ding Wangfu will have a banquet today, if it spreads that you have been wronged, it's not just the Shen family who will lose face."

"What did my cousin tell you?" Yingxiu naturally knew this truth. If Qi Haoming wanted to do something to her, why would he bother to think about it? Even Wang Ding and Princess Ding would know, even his cousin would know. .

"Cousin said that he was worried about your marriage. After the Jiang family's incident happened, grandpa had already intervened once. It was obviously out of line for the Shen family. I don't really understand what my cousin said about the court affairs, but my husband also said However, the situation doesn’t seem to have changed now, but in fact, after King Ding returned to Beijing, the undercurrents are raging, and Uncle Shen has always been close to the Tang family.” Since then, the Tang family has been jumping up and down for the Ninth Prince like a clown. Influence, even if you can keep this official position, your future official career will be ruined.

"What he is more worried about is that the Jiang family's marriage was originally the idea of ​​the Tang family. There will be no next time, because the third son Jiang is seriously ill, so grandpa can intervene." At first, Shiya also objected to Jin Ze's approach. It's the second young master Qi who is a nice person.

The Shangguan General's Mansion and King Ding have always been close. After Shiya got married, she also learned some things from her sister-in-law. In these years, Second Young Master Qi has not stopped seeking medical advice. A person who can be regarded as highly by the fourth prince must be smart. people.

"Cousin, he..." Yingxiu looked at Shiya, and didn't speak again. How could grandpa and uncle not notice her cousin's actions at all, and if she didn't come out to stop her, she would have tacitly agreed to her cousin's actions. Everyone wanted her to take care of her Yes, she still remembered that when she was seriously ill, Mrs. Qiao also fell ill, but she didn't have time to know how much her death had affected them.

At that time, she listened to Mrs. Shen's words and broke up with the Qiao family. When she really regretted it, she didn't have the face to go to the Qiao family to say anything. She made the Qiao family worry, and was even more disappointed that she was unable to resist in the Hou's mansion.

A voice shouted from the bottom of my heart, don't you want to see what happens to those people who have hurt you and made you feel better?

Yingxiu stretched out her hand to open the window, and the cold wind blowing on her face woke her up a little bit. Seeing her calm face, Shiya felt a little war drum in her heart, and carefully pulled Yingxiu's clothes, "Xiuer, don't you Being angry with us, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"I know you are doing my best." After a long time, Yingxiu sighed, if her father really intended to be with the Tang family, it is not impossible for her Shen Yingxiu's marriage to be betrayed again.

After returning from Prince Ding’s Mansion, Mrs. Shen asked Yingxiu to ask questions. After returning to Yun Academy, Qingbi showed Yingxiu the things sent by Zhen Baoge. The jade that was originally taken from the small warehouse has been carved. Inlaid on the end of the pen, using high-quality pen wood, the workmanship is very fine.

Yingxiu put the pen into the packaged brocade box and asked Qingbi to send it out. She went to the cabinet and took out a black box. Inside was the jade pendant that Qi Haoming had given back then. The unremarkable things always indicated his existence, and the clearly visible inscription was deeply touched between her fingers.

You always have to try, right? If she just runs away blindly, she might as well die at that moment and never wake up again...

At the end of November, the weather was very cold. In a blink of an eye, the trees in the yard had lost all their leaves, leaving only bare branches. In order to make the yard not so dead, Baoqin tied a lot of beautiful paper flowers and hung them on the On the branches, it adds a beautiful color.

Just after dinner, a lantern was hung in the corridor, Yingxiu was holding a stove in her arms, flipping through a notebook in her hand, suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and Zi Yan ran into the room panting, "Miss Aunt Kong is going to give birth."

The notes in her hand suddenly fell down, "Isn't there still a few days left, why so soon?" Yingxiu got off the bed and put on her shoes, Baoqin took a cloak and put it on her, "Go ask Qingbi to fetch a piece of ginseng ,quick!"

"Xiaohong came to tell me in a hurry, saying that Aunt Kong went out of the corridor after dinner, and she slipped in the yard for some reason."

Yingxiu tightened her cloak and followed Ziyan out of the house, facing a fierce cracking wind, mixed with a little rain during the period, it was bitingly cold, and the lanterns in the corridor flickered when they were blown.

When we arrived at the Xianghe Courtyard, it was almost a mess, now it was time for dinner, and there were not many people serving in the Xianghe Courtyard, so Yingxiu walked in and heard Aunt Kong's cry of pain, Xiaohong was beside her Packing up the items for production, the rest of the maids were nowhere to be seen.

"The rest of the people, why are you the only one!" Yingxiu ordered Zi Yan to go to the kitchen to boil water, there was still a puddle of amniotic fluid on the ground, the fall was really timely.

The two maids who had not been there for a long time came over with Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Wen still had two mouthfuls of food stuffed in her mouth, and Yingxiu retreated outside. Gradually, Mrs. Wen's voice and Aunt Kong's voice came from the room. Shout out.

The wind was whistling outside, and standing in the corridor, she could feel the icy cold. Just by the firelight, she looked down at the stairs under the corridor, and there was a puddle of water spreading until the stairs went down to the yard.

Baoqin hurried over, saw Yingxiu standing in the corridor, and quickly put the stove in her arms into her hands, "Miss, go to the side room for a while, it's cold outside."

"That's good." Yingxiu seemed a little restless, and followed Baoqin to the side room of Xiangheyuan, waiting for Qingbi to bring ginseng, Yingxiu asked her to take it with her in the room, in case there was any situation. Get started.

When Master Shen and Mrs. Shen came over, a long time had passed, "Father, Mother, you are here."

Mrs. Shen glanced at Yingxiu, "Xiuer came early."

"Aunt Kong is pregnant with the father's child. If the father and mother are late, the daughter should take care of both of you." Yingxiu walked over to help Mrs. Shen sit down without any grievances.

The shouts could also be heard in the side room, Yingxiu was afraid that the louder Aunt Kong shouted, the less energy she would have to give birth, so she called Baoqin to come over and give some soft instructions.

Master Shen was upset when he heard that, and he couldn't help feeling a little angry, "How could you slip and fall? Didn't the maids in the yard pay attention? They can't even do this little thing well!" Mrs. Shen also felt aggrieved, Mrs. Wen After the arrangement was made, everything needed in the Xianghe Courtyard was prepared, no one thought that such an accident would happen, a concubine gave birth to a child, and he was so nervous!

Mrs. Shen clenched the handkerchief in her hand and comforted her with a strong smile, "Those two stable women are very experienced. Sister Kong will definitely give birth to the child safely. I also suffered a lot when I gave birth to Qizhi. Woolen cloth."

After giving birth to Shen Qizhi, Mrs. Shen's body was a bit weak. After so many years, she was unable to conceive another child. Master Shen was naturally nervous about Aunt Kong's child, but this was very glaring in Mrs. Shen's eyes. After so many years of prevention , I still didn't guard against it.

The shouting from the next door gradually subsided. Although Yingxiu failed to give birth smoothly, Qi Haosheng also had concubines who conceived and gave birth back then. , like Aunt Kong, is even more dangerous.

It's just that she has read in ancient books that it is easier for a woman to give birth to a child when she is older than when she is young, and she only hopes that Aunt Kong will be able to give birth to this child safely by virtue of her age in her twenties.

After all, Master Shen couldn't sit still any longer, so he hurried out of the room and walked into the corridor, Mrs. Shen quickly followed out, Yingxiu listened to the reward for holding the piano, and followed out of the room, it was very late at night, and there was a cloud floating in the sky. There were snowflakes scattered in the wind, Xiao Hong came in and out carrying basins, and there was a cautious smell of blood in the air.

Master Shen was pacing in the corridor, saw Yingxiu still standing there, and said, "It's very late, your mother and I are here, you go back first."

Yingxiu didn't insist either, leaving two maids, Qingbi and Ziyan, out of Xiangheyuan with Baoqin. After midnight, when the sky was about to dawn, Ziyan returned to Yun Academy and told Yingxiu, Aunt Kong successfully gave birth to a young master...
