Chapter 2 Adding Insult to Injury
Old Lady Qin pointed at Mrs. Xie and said, "Second wife, you take Auntie Pan and the others to settle the children first. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Mei will wait in the delivery room. When they are settled, come and help."
"Yes, mother."
Qin Liuxi instructed Chenpi to lead the people to settle them, and she and Qi Huang moved Mrs. Gu to the prepared delivery room. At this moment, she felt a headache.
She liked quietness and didn't like to go out on weekdays, so there were not too many servants arranged in the old house. Only Qi Huang's siblings followed her. There was Uncle Li's family in the house, but there were only four people. Aunt Li and her daughter Xiaoxue took care of the kitchen and some chores. Uncle Li and a boy named Li Cheng were both housekeepers and doormen.
There were few masters in the old house, and Qin Liuxi didn't like to make a fuss. Just a few people were enough, but now there were too many people, it was a bit unsuitable.
After hurriedly putting Mrs. Gu on the makeshift delivery bed, Qin Liuxi glanced at her and felt a little cold in his heart.
After a while, the dark aura on the Third Aunt's face became even heavier. She might not be able to pass this test.
She looked at her huge belly and touched her wrist. It was twins.
It was really adding insult to injury.
Qin Liuxi took off the jade pendant hanging on his waist and tied it on Gu's collar. He looked at Qi Huang who had returned, but did not say anything. The latter walked out again.
When Mrs. Qin and others saw this action, they were all stunned and looked at Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi did not change his expression and said, "This is a jade ruyi. It has been blessed. It blesses Third Aunt to give birth safely."
Mrs. Qin's face was slightly warm, and there was some expectation in her eyes.
And the woman who first held Gu, Wang, Qin Liuxi's biological mother, said, "Xi'er is thoughtful. Your Third Aunt will definitely be safe with her and her child."
That's what she said, but when she saw the weak person on the bed and thought of the recent changes in the family, the worry in Wang and others' eyes became more and more intense.
When Qi Huang returned to the guest room with a small box, he saw that everyone in the room was full of sorrow. He could not help but tiptoe to Qin Liuxi's side and stayed there obediently.
Because of Qin Liuxi, she didn't really like the Qin family, but the Qin family came suddenly and was in a bad state. Besides, there was this young woman who was obviously going to give birth prematurely. No matter how much she disliked them, she would not add to their misfortune.
"Has the midwife not come yet?" Old Mrs. Qin was a little anxious and looked out the door several times.
Qin Liuxi said in a cold voice, "It's raining outside now, and the road is not easy to walk. It's a sudden invitation, so she may not be at home. I'm afraid it will take some time."
Old Mrs. Qin pursed her lips even tighter.
As she was talking, several people came in from outside the door. They were the second wife of the Qin family, Xie, and two concubines. One of them was Qin Liuxi's biological mother, Wan.
After entering the house, Wan's eyes fell on Qin Liuxi first.
Qin Liuxi also looked over, and the mother and daughter looked at each other.
Aunt Wan looked at her carefully, frowned, and was quite dissatisfied and depressed.
This daughter was born a meat ball, how come she is so plain when she grows up? If it weren't for the long hair, she would be no different from a nun.
Qin Liuxi sighed secretly. Her biological mother was more than 30 years old and had given birth to two children. But looking at this face, it was tender and fair. Even without makeup, it did not reduce her beauty at all. On the contrary, she was like an 18-year-old girl, pure and sexy.
Looking at her plain clothes, her breasts were her breasts and her waist was her waist. I felt pity for her. She was indeed a beautiful aunt, and a favored one.
It seems that she has not suffered any grievances in the Qin family. Not only did she not suffer any grievances, but she lived a good life, so good that she forgot that she had a daughter.
Qin Liuxi knelt slightly to her and saluted: "Aunt."
Aunt Wan opened her mouth: "You are a little ugly, not like me and your brother."
