Chapter 219 This pregnancy cannot be saved
Su Qingwan's eyes dropped and looked at Hua Jiaoniang's bulging belly.
Although she was still a girl, she had seen pregnant women of similar pregnancy as Hua Jiaoniang in Mo Nan before, but their bellies were not as big as hers.
It seems that the tonic soup that Liu had sent to Hua Jiaoniang's yard in a steady stream before did work.
Hua Jiaoniang noticed that Su Qingwan was looking at her belly, and thought that Su Qingwan was showing sympathy, so she continued to speak:
"Fourth Miss, you also saw it last night. The eldest lady didn't ask why and just started beating me. Today, she found an excuse and asked me to stand there as punishment. Nanny Zhou also said that other concubines had gone through the same thing. If anything happens to me, it's just my bad luck. Woo woo... They are too bullying..."
The more she talked, the more aggrieved Hua Jiaoniang felt, and she actually started crying in front of Su Qingwan. Her tearful face was heartbreaking to watch.
But Su Qingwan pretended not to see her tears. Everything she did after her rebirth was just to make sure that the people in the third house would no longer be at the mercy of others like they were in her previous life. She also wanted to make the people in the Marquis' Mansion return everything they had taken away before.
Before, she helped Hua Jiaoniang enter the Marquis' Mansion because she was useful, but what about now?
How much value is left in Hua Jiaoniang?
Su Qingwan looked at her and pondered in her heart.
Hua Jiaoniang cried for a while, then glanced at Su Qingwan secretly, and found that she was still looking at her without saying a word. She made up her mind and knelt down from the chair.
"Fourth Miss, I beg you."
Seeing this, Su Qingwan said slowly, "Auntie Hua, it's not that I won't help you, but I'm afraid you can't keep the baby you're carrying now."
Hua Jiaoniang was shocked!
How is this possible? She is pregnant with her child. Is Su Qingwan cursing her by saying this?
But there was no need for Su Qingwan to do this, because the child she was carrying was Su Zhiyi's, not the third master of the Marquis's Mansion. Why should she curse herself?
Or is there something wrong with my pregnancy?
Hua Jiaoniang looked at her belly. She couldn't see anything wrong with it, but she was born in a brothel after all, and she had heard some private rumors about the homes of the rich and powerful.
There are many ways to punish women in those mansions, and I just encountered one today.
"Miss Fourth, why do you say that?" Hua Jiaoniang asked.
"Auntie Hua, you should find a chance to have a doctor check your pulse!"
Su Qingwan reminded her that although she did not intend to take care of Hua Jiaoniang, she could still let her go against Liu.
Now Liu still holds the power to manage the Marquis' Mansion. It seems that Old Kang has no intention of taking away the power of stewardship. This is not a good idea. She has to let Old Kang hand over the power of stewardship to the third branch of their family.
"Doctor Guo often comes to check the child's pulse. He said the child is fine." Hua Jiaoniang said hurriedly.
Doctor Guo was the palace physician hired by the eldest master. He had rewarded him a lot in the past, and he just wanted him to take good care of his children. Could it be that he didn't take good care of the children?
Seeing that Hua Jiaoniang hadn't reacted yet, Su Qingwan said calmly, "I was just about to tell you that it would be best to find a doctor outside to check your pulse."
Things have come to this point. If Hua Jiaoniang still doesn't understand what it means, then she can't blame anyone else if she dies.
Hua Jiaoniang's heart was filled with huge waves. Su Qingwan meant that Doctor Guo could not be trusted.
"Your aunt is tired, help her go back." Su Qingwan asked the maid who served Hua Jiaoniang to take her away.
After the master and servant came out of Fuguang Courtyard, Hua Jiaoniang felt cold all over, and the little maid was also frightened by Su Qingwan's words.
Neither of them spoke and hurried back to their own yard.
As soon as they entered the wing room and quickly closed the door, the little maid said worriedly, "Auntie, what should we do now?"
Hua Jiaoniang covered her heart with her hands and sat on the soft couch beside her.
Ask her what to do?
The first thing she thought of was to tell the master as soon as possible and ask him to beat that bitch named Guo to death, but the master might not believe what she said.
Moreover, if the master knew that I suspected Dr. Guo because of Su Qingwan's words, he might think that I was stupid and was instigated by someone. Not only would he not deal with Dr. Guo, he might even dislike me.
So she couldn't let the master know now. She had to find out the situation of her pregnancy first.
The more Hua Jiaoniang thought about it, the more she felt that what she did was right, so she told her maid:
"You don't have to do anything. Just pretend that we didn't go to Fuguangyuan today and didn't hear what the fourth young lady said. Just keep it the same as before."
When the little maid heard her say this, she nodded, thinking that Aunt Hua felt that there was something wrong with what the Fourth Young Miss said, so she simply put the matter behind her.
In Fuguang Courtyard, Linxiang watched Hua Jiaoniang and the other person leave, then looked at Su Qingwan in confusion.
She thought that the young lady would be moved by Hua Jiaoniang's tears and choose to help her directly!
"Miss, why don't you just help her?"
"Why should I help her? She is from the eldest wife's house and has nothing to do with us." Su Qingwan smiled faintly.
Lin Xiang said "oh" and felt that what Su Qingwan said made sense, but the young lady still reminded Aunt Hua just now, so she had done her best.
But Linxiang didn't know Su Qingwan's plan. She reminded Hua Jiaoniang that she wanted to make Liu's life miserable in the future.
As it was getting close to evening, Xiaokang looked at the food on the table and had no appetite at all.
"Second Madam, you haven't eaten all day. If you don't eat again, your body will collapse." Nanny Ji advised.
Xiaokang nodded, but did not pick up his chopsticks.
After returning from Rong'an Hall today, she asked someone to go to Yuzhen Temple to invite the Taoist priest to perform a ritual to pray for Campbell's soul so that he could be reincarnated earlier and stop bothering her.
But the people who were sent out have not returned yet, and it is almost dark.
It is said that those dirty things like to come out at night. If Campbell comes to find her again tonight, she will be scared to death!
So Xiaokang was extremely anxious at the moment and had no appetite to eat.
"Ah!" Xiao Kang sighed and said, "Madam Ji, have someone go to the door to greet him. We are just going to invite a Taoist priest. Why hasn't he come back yet so late?"
"Yes!" Nanny Ji went outside and said to the gatekeeper, "Go and guard the gate of the Marquis' Mansion. When Yang Laoliu comes back, ask him to come see the Second Madam immediately."
The old woman hurried to the door.
Nanny Ji also walked back into the room and saw Xiaokang still sitting there in a daze, with no intention of eating at all, so she couldn't help but sigh.
"Second Madam, don't be anxious. Yuzhen Temple is on Eryang Mountain outside the outer city. It's a long way away, and it won't be quick to go back and forth." said Madam Ji.
What's more, I don't know whether the Taoist priest of Yuzhen Temple is willing to make this trip!
