Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 71

Mr. Qiao and the others came back soon, and Qiao Jinxian came back together. At this time, the sun had already set, and Mrs. Qiao went from standing to sitting, interrogating the maids and women in the yard one by one, showing no intention of giving up.

When Mrs. Zhang saw Qiao Jinxian, there was a hint of surprise on her face, realizing that there was Mrs. Qiao beside her, so she just called out, "Sir."

Qiao Jinxian saw the maids in the yard, some of them were still a little pale because they had been standing for a long time, and frowned slightly and looked at Mrs. Qiao, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"Don't worry about it, did your father and grandpa come back together?" Mrs. Qiao took a sip of tea and glanced at Mrs. Zhang beside her. Qiao Jinxian nodded and naturally walked towards Mrs. Zhang.

"Then you go to the old lady's yard and have a look." Mrs. Qiao didn't intend to ask Qiao Jinxian to stay. Seeing his hesitation, her face sank, "What are you doing in a daze? Why don't you go quickly? Your grandma is in the afternoon Frightened, why, do you want me to invite you before you are willing to go?"

"No, mother, I'll go there right away. Does Yan'er follow her son to see grandma?" Qiao Jinxian looked at Mrs. Zhang, who looked a little pale. Although she didn't know what happened in the yard, she could guess that it was her. The lady made a mistake and made her mother angry, so she pleaded for mercy.

"No need, she stays here, you go." Mrs. Qiao showed a look of tiredness on her face. Qiao Jinxian glanced at Mrs. Zhang, turned around and walked out of the yard. Mrs. Qiao looked at the back of her son leaving, and said lightly, "Continue to ask .”

Yingxiu and the others stayed with Mrs. Qiao in Mrs. Qiao’s yard. They were sad for a while. Mrs. Qiao lazily leaned on the cushion, and Ms. Wang pressed her temples beside her. Mrs. Qiao sighed, “Okay! Some of them lost their children."

"Grandma, those who have gone here have already gone, you still have to take good care of your body, the eldest brother is still fine, and there will still be children." Shiya returned to her spirit, and she would not let the old lady get hurt anyway, Yingxiu He took the warm towel from Baoqin's hand and handed it to Shiya, "Grandma, cousin is right, don't hurt yourself."

"It's two lives. I've prepared everything for Wen Po, and I'm just waiting for the baby to be born in a few days. Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's Jinxian's first child, and it's gone in the blink of an eye." Mrs. Qiao What I can't let go of is that after two years of tossing, my poor grandson has to suffer this kind of evil for no reason. The Qiao family has never had a concubine in the past few generations. Get restless.

Shi Ya also knew that the old man was entangled in whether he should be a descendant or not. The eldest brother is the eldest grandson of the Qiao family, not to mention the eldest son. Now that he doesn't even have an eldest daughter, how could he not feel sad.

"Sister-in-law has committed seven crimes a long time ago." Shiya muttered, Master Qiao's voice came from the door, and when she came back, she heard that her mother was not feeling well, and Master Qiao came over before she had time to change her clothes. Mrs. Qiao saw her Master Qiao felt sad again, "My poor grandson, why is his life so miserable."

Mr. Qiao then walked in and saw that Yingxiu was pregnant with a smile on her serious face. Mr. Qiao helped Mrs. Qiao to lie down and comforted him, "Mother, please relax."

"How can you be at ease?" Mrs. Qiao wiped her tears. If things go on like this, if two more concubines are pregnant, they have to take care of the safety. If they accidentally go there, it's better not to have this child. Everyone was sad when they landed.

"Where's Jinxian!" Mr. Qiao sat next to Mrs. Qiao and shook her hand, "Did he hurry back to see his wife after such a big incident happened?"

Everyone knew that Qiao Jinxian was very protective of Mrs. Zhang, and Yingxiu held Shiya to keep her from talking, and shook her head slightly. With her grandfather and uncle around, no matter what decision was made, it was they who made the decision.

When Master Qiao heard what his father said, his face was a little sullen. Just as he was about to send someone to look for him, Qiao Jinxian came in. Seeing Mrs. Qiao lying on the couch, Qiao Jinxian knelt down in front of the old lady, "The grandson is not filial. Grandma is worried."

"Grandma loves you so much, good boy, get up." Qiao Jinxian looked at the unfriendly grandfather and father, feeling very puzzled, "I just came from my mother, and saw the maids and women in the yard, and my mother didn't say anything. , let me come over to see you first, what happened."

Mrs. Qiao didn't know all the people, and she felt sad for a while. Mother Wang hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "Old lady, cry carefully, the young master is just as good as he was, and he will definitely get better." of."

"The aunt in your house fell down and died after arguing with your wife today, and the child is gone." Master Qiao glanced at his son and reminded, "If this matter has something to do with Yan'er, our Qiao family will also I can't tolerate such a jealous future mistress, let someone from the Zhang family take her away."

Qiao Jinxian was taken aback, it took only half a day, why so many things happened, turned to look at Shiya and Yingxiu, Shiya just snorted softly and ignored him, Yingxiu looked at Qiao Jinxian apologetically and said, " After lunch, Shiya and I went to see my cousin, but when we saw my aunt in your yard, she was already lying on the ground, dying."

Qiao Jinxian's heart suddenly stabbed, his face turned pale, and he lost two children in half a year. For Qiao Jinxian, nothing hit his heart more than this. No matter how hard it is for Mrs. Zhang to conceive, now that auntie has two more months to go. It can be born with the effort, how?
Zhang's joy at seeing him and his mother's reaction flashed in his mind just now, and Qiao Jinxian had a bad feeling in his heart. Based on his understanding of Yan'er, the reason for the aunt's fall may not be that simple.

"Then how could you fall down?" Seeing Yingxiu shaking her head, Qiao Jinxian became more and more anxious. Seeing that he was so worthless, old man Qiao snorted coldly, "Then you have to ask your good wife."

"Grandpa, Yan'er, she doesn't know how to do it. She has lost her own child, and she feels very uncomfortable. She also hopes that my aunt will give birth safely. How could she make my aunt fall?" Qiao Jinxian shook her head, but there was something in her heart. Panic.

Yingxiu sighed when she saw it in her eyes. It was true that Mrs. Zhang felt uncomfortable, and it was true that she hoped that Qiao Jinxian would have children, but she just couldn't see someone to share her husband's favor. However, the barrier in her heart, she is not comfortable, and the people around her have to suffer with her, it will not be satisfactory.

"Your mother will find out what's going on." Mr. Qiao sent someone for dinner, "Go to the side hall to eat and wait, it's getting late now, Shiya, you and Xiu'er will live here It's not safe to go back for one night, Shao Zhi, send someone to Qi's house and Shangguan's house to say hello, so as not to worry them."

In the side hall, Qiao Jinxian ate absent-mindedly, the sky had already darkened, and Mrs. Qiao brought someone to the yard. Whether it was she who fell or Mrs. Zhang pushed her, she had to ask the two locked-up maids, It doesn't matter if you keep your mouth shut, Mrs. Qiao also has a lot of ways to make them speak. After hearing what she said, Mrs. Qiao said, "Since that Huan'er has reported to Zhang's mansion, let them come. Our Qiao family will not be unreasonable. Ask me the words, this is my Qiao family, and I won't allow them to fool me under my nose!"

When Mrs. Qiao was young, she was much more aggressive than Mrs. Qiao. Many housekeeping methods of Mrs. Qiao were taught by Mrs. Qiao. I went to the firewood room.

Almost all the people in the yard were locked up by Mrs. Qiao, and Mrs. Zhang couldn't spare any manpower to go to the firewood room to ventilate with the two maids. When Xu Shi arrived, Master Qiao asked Qiao Jinxian to go back first, and Yingxiu and Shiya went. The courtyard where Shiya lived before.

Qiao Jinxian walked into the house, and nothing happened inside. The mats and cushions on the couch were all replaced with new ones, but only one person disappeared in the yard.

When Mrs. Zhang saw him coming back, she hurried up to greet him, "Jinxian, we don't want to live in Qiao's house anymore, let's go back to Nanxun, shall we?" Qiao Jinxian looked at the pale-faced Mrs. Zhang, stretched out his hand to touch her cheek, and said softly Asked, "Yaner, what did you do to Binglan?"

Zhang's heart immediately turned cold, she suppressed the panic in her eyes, and looked at him with a smile on her face, "Master, why would I do anything to Binglan? For the sake of the safe birth of the child in her belly, I Even if I feel wronged in my heart, I can bear it, but it's a pity that I don't live up to my stomach and can't give birth to a child for you, Mr. Zhang." As she said that, Mrs. Zhang began to cry.

Qiao Jinxian wiped the tears on her face, unable to hide the disappointment in her eyes, "When you were in Nanxun, you said you would have a baby in a year, and I'll follow you. I didn't blame you for not being pregnant in the next two years. When you came back, neither father nor mother felt sorry for you, but you said that mother was suggesting that you want to take a concubine, and I obeyed you. When the Qiao family came to me, they took a concubine first. Grandpa and grandma were angry, and I protected you. You and Binglan are both pregnant, but you are not happy, and the child you finally obtained is gone, so tell me, what exactly do you want?"

Zhang looked at him choked up, "I just want to keep you by my side, Jinxian, I haven't done anything to Binglan, you have to believe me."

"You pushed me into their room. I don't blame you. I went to Binglan's room a few times and found it very hot. When I asked the maid, she said it was your order. Those who are fit can't stay in places that are too cold. You Since you don't want them to have my children, why do you keep taking concubines for me?" Qiao Jinxian watched her crying pear blossoms with rain, and suddenly lost the patience to wipe her tears. She is always like this. When he is not happy, he will look at himself with such aggrievedness, wanting to tie him by his side, but push him away again and again.

"Yan'er, I am also a human being, I have a heart, and I will be tired. Even if Binglan takes advantage of her pregnancy, she will not offend you." Qiao Jinxian recalled the words of old man Qiao just now, and his heart throbbed for no reason. There was unfilial piety in ancient times, and it was great to have no descendants. Marrying an unvirtuous woman is a misfortune for the family.

"Sanggong, if you don't believe me anymore, I knew that you wouldn't treat me like this when you were in Nanxun. When you come back to Qiao's house, everything has changed, and you have changed too." Zhang cried and threw his hands away. hand, turned and ran into the inner room...

Mrs. Qiao quickly asked what happened, what was the dispute between Auntie and Mrs. Zhang, how did Mrs. Zhang 'accidentally' push Auntie, hit the corner of the table and fell to the ground, after what happened Mrs. Zhang Instead of sending someone to ask the doctor to find Mrs. Qiao first, she sent Huan'er to Zhang's house. Madam Qiao looked at the two maidservants huddling together and sneered, so what if she went to Zhang's house? Look, how Mrs. Zhang is going to make another explanation for her poor daughter.

"Take care of them, no one can open the door without my order." After leaving the woodshed, Mrs. Qiao went to Mrs. Qiao's yard in the dark.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Zhang came to Qiao's house.
