Chapter 435 The Old Marquis Was Frightened and Sick
The woman was wearing a white dress and her face could not be seen clearly, but her words made the old marquis feel cold all over.
"Husband...husband..."
"You allowed Kang to use drugs on me, didn't you?"
"Husband, I'm pregnant with a boy!" The woman raised her hand and touched her round belly.
The old marquis also followed her hand and looked at her bulging belly. Judging from the size, it was already full-term and it was time for delivery.
"Wow wow..."
The sound of a baby crying appeared in his ears, which was extremely real. The old marquis tried to prop up his body and sit up, but he was horrified to find that except for opening his eyes, he could not move his whole body.
This is... sleep paralysis!
The old marquis was horrified. When he looked at the woman beside the bed again, he found that there was no one by the bed. However, the baby was still crying, one cry after another, which was very scary.
She is Li, Li is back!
The old marquis' eyes trembled with fear, but despite many efforts, he was still unable to move, and finally fainted.
When it was almost dawn, a maid entered the Marquis' bedroom and took away the "calming incense" on the table that had already burned to ashes.
……
"Mom, I invited a new doctor in. The previous doctor had an emergency at home and has left." Su Qingwan said to Jiang.
It turned out that after treating the old marquis's wound, the doctor begged Su Qingwan to let him go, because he knew that he would die when the old marquis woke up. Su Qingwan naturally would not take his life, so she sent the doctor away and replaced him with another one.
"I understand. If your grandfather still can't wake up today, I'm afraid we'll have to ask the imperial physician to come." Jiang said.
"He should wake up. The medicine he drank yesterday contained a calming ingredient, so he slept better."
Su Qingwan smiled lightly. The old marquis could not die now. If he died, her eldest brother would have to observe mourning. So if the old marquis wanted to die, he had to die after the imperial examination.
But you have to think it over before you die!
"That's good! Take this ginseng with you. Your grandfather was stabbed and needs to be healed."
Jiang pushed the box of ginseng on the table over.
"Okay, then I'm leaving."
Su Qingwan asked Zhenzhu to take the box and head towards the main courtyard.
When we arrived at the main courtyard, the old marquis had just woken up, but he was in a daze, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
"Grandfather, are you feeling better?"
Su Qingwan asked softly.
When the old marquis saw Su Qingwan, he nervously stretched out his hand, his lips trembling, but he couldn't utter a word.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?" Su Qingwan stepped forward quickly and looked at the attendant who had been serving the old marquis all year round. "Wasn't he fine before I left yesterday? How come he became like this after waking up?"
"Fourth Miss, when the Marquis woke up today, he only said that Li came to see him with the child."
"Don't talk nonsense. My grandmother has passed away for many years. There is no way she would come back to find him." Su Qingwan said angrily.
"The old marquis said so himself. Perhaps he had a nightmare."
Su Qingwan frowned slightly and asked someone to call a doctor.
"Fourth Miss, the old marquis has something on his mind and dreams at night. In a word, it is caused by excessive worry. He can only be cured slowly with medicine." After examining the doctor, he explained the old marquis' condition.
Su Qingwan nodded and asked the doctor to prescribe medicine.
After watching the old marquis take the medicine, she returned to Helin Courtyard and told Jiang about the old marquis.
"We have to talk to your father about this when he comes back. As for the matter of your uncle, I wanted to ask the old marquis how he would arrange it today, but I'm afraid he can't explain his current situation clearly." Jiang said worriedly.
"The funeral of our eldest uncle should be held sooner rather than later. The New Year's Eve is coming soon. Let's keep it low-key like we did with our second uncle."
"Will your aunt and the others agree?"
"If aunt doesn't agree, she can use her own money to hold the funeral for uncle. If the public pays, it will be low-key." Su Qingwan said.
Jiang felt that what her daughter said made sense, so she decided to go to Tinglan Courtyard. Although she didn't want to get involved in this matter, she was the one in charge of the household expenses, so she had no choice but to do it.
Su Qingwan naturally went along, but she didn't expect that after they arrived at Tinglan Courtyard, she saw Liu sending away the concubines in the main house.
She did not sell all the people like Xiaokang did, but instead left a few people to work.
Su Qingwan didn't care about these things. Now that Prince Qi and Prince Rui were both free, if Prince Qi wanted to send some servants into the Marquis' Mansion, it would be an easy thing to do. It would be better to let Liu use these concubines. She estimated that these people hated Liu and would naturally have the opportunity to deal with her.
When Liu saw Jiang wearing gorgeous and elegant clothes and a golden hairpin on her head, she felt that her temperament and appearance were much better than her, the eldest lady of the marquis's mansion. She was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
"Aunt, my mother is here to discuss with you the time of my uncle's funeral. Now that the New Year is almost approaching, it's better to do it as early as possible." Su Qingwan said straight to the point.
"The master is not dead, why is there a funeral?"
Liu was unconvinced and made a sophistry, but she knew very well that if the old marquis said he was dead, then he was dead.
"In that case, then auntie should bring uncle back. It's a good time to go and tell grandfather now."
Su Qingwan's words made Liu choke. She definitely couldn't look for Su Zhiyi again, and she couldn't say this in front of the old marquis. This girl knew that she was helpless and said this on purpose.
"Fourth sister, why don't we hold the funeral tomorrow? Since father is already dead, it won't do to keep his body at home." Su Yunrou said.
After the funeral tomorrow, she will be able to fight for her freedom.
"If aunt thinks tomorrow is okay, then let's set it for tomorrow." Su Qingwan looked at Su Yunrou meaningfully.
As a daughter, she did not feel any sadness or heartache for her father's death, but only calculations. According to Su Qingwan's estimation, Su Yunrou would most likely take advantage of her father's death, just like she took advantage of Su Yuejie's death.
"Just do it!"
Liu had figured it out long ago. Since Su Zhiyi was useless, there was no point in keeping him around. It would be better for him to die early and give his daughter one last helping hand.
Jiang nodded, took Su Qingwan and left quickly.
"Oh! Your aunt's attitude was as I expected. I didn't expect Su Yunrou to be so indifferent to her father. I heard from your second aunt that your uncle loves Su Yunrou the most." Jiang sighed.
"Su Yunrou has a lot of thoughts. Maybe after the King of Qi lifted the house arrest, her mind went to this and she no longer thought about her uncle."
Su Qingwan knew that the mother and daughter of the first wife had not arranged anyone to go out and look for Su Zhiyi's whereabouts, so they actually hoped that Su Zhiyi was really dead.
