Chapter 134 Qin Luan Has a Difficult Delivery, Should She Save the Mother or the Child?
Mu Ziqian picked out a few pieces of luxurious jewelry from the jewelry box of the wife of the Marquis of Yangling, and called Xinrui in again, solemnly instructing her, "You leave the house now and pawn all these things, then go to Master Zhang, give him two hundred taels of silver to keep his mouth shut, and by the way, give him some pressure to make him keep his mouth shut."
Xinrui nodded in agreement, stuffed the jewelry into her arms, and hurried out.
As for how to deal with the wife of the Marquis of Yangling in the future, Mu Ziqian has also thought about it.
"Fuer, you will take care of mother from now on. You know Shen Qing's character. He said he would arrange another batch of servants for mother, but now ten days have passed and there is no movement. Moreover, mother's nonsense cannot be known by others."
Lin Xuefu also knew the importance of this matter and nodded seriously, "Don't worry, cousin, I will arrange a confidant to take care of aunt and will never let the news spread, but uncle..."
There were three more corpses in the mansion for no reason. Yangling Hou, who claimed to have a peaceful home, was immediately furious and said that he would get to the bottom of the matter no matter what. Although there was still no significant progress after ten days, it was better to be safe than sorry. If Yangling Hou really found out something, it would be troublesome.
Mu Ziqian was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go talk to my father."
Although Mu Ziqian looked confident, Lin Xuefu always felt that he was not very reliable, so she asked tentatively, "How are you going to tell your uncle?"
Mu Ziqian looked confident: "Of course I'll tell the truth."
Lin Xuefu: "..."
"If my uncle knew about this, he would be furious, right?"
Mu Ziqian sighed, "This is the only way. Anyway, my father has only one son, and he can't do anything to me."
The only legitimate son of Yangling Marquis's Mansion is what Mu Ziqian relies on for his pride.
Lin Xuefu reminded him slightly, "Cousin, Aunt Xu is about to give birth."
The meaning of Lin Xuefu's words is very clear. If Qin Luan also gave birth to a son, Mu Ziqian would not be the only male heir of Yangling Marquis's Mansion.
This is also what Lin Xuefu and Madam Yangling Marquis have been planning before.
However, this matter was not worth mentioning in the eyes of the parties involved. Mu Ziqian said disdainfully: "It's okay to give birth to a child. Can a bastard threaten my position?"
Lin Xuefu suppressed the thought of scolding Mu Ziqian as a "fool" and said earnestly, "Cousin, the current situation is indeed that you are the legitimate heir and he is the bastard, but what if the uncle knows what the aunt did?
What's more, the uncle likes Xu Yi Niang so much, aren't you afraid that he will abolish the aunt and make Xu Yi Niang the legitimate heir?"
If that time really comes, the identities of the two will be completely changed.
Lin Xuefu said a lot, and finally made Mu Zi understand the importance of the matter, but he didn't have any solution, so Mu Ziqian habitually asked Lin Xuefu: "Fuer, what should we do?"
Lin Xuefu pondered for a moment, "This matter must be negotiated with my uncle, but the responsibility must be pushed away. The person can be killed by my aunt, but there must be a reason. As for the reason, adultery or theft, as long as it is not my aunt's fault.
By the way, there is also that booklet, which must not be known to my uncle."
Mu Ziqian nodded, and hurriedly took out the booklet from his arms and burned it directly in front of Lin Xuefu.
A touch of satisfaction flashed across Lin Xuefu's eyes. At this point, she had completely gotten out of it.
...
With Lin Xuefu's guidance behind him, Mu Ziqian easily handled the matter of Yangling Hou's wife, and Yangling Hou's Mansion, which had been noisy for many days, became quiet again.
Shen Qing wanted to find a reason to send Aunt Qiu out, but Aunt Qiu was really worried about Mu Lingxi being alone in the mansion. Although Mu Lingxi had the Cheng family's marriage as a backing, there was no one in the Yangling Marquis's mansion who was easy to deal with. She was afraid that someone would secretly attack Mu Lingxi.
Knowing that Aunt Qiu had the ability to protect herself, Shen Qing let her go.
Aunt Liang's eyes lit up when she heard that she could leave the Yangling Marquis's mansion. It happened that Mu Lingyue had basically recovered, so she returned to the Yangling Marquis's mansion.
At Shen Qing's suggestion, Aunt Liang angered the Yangling Marquis four times in three days. However, knowing that Aunt Liang had Shen Qing's support, the Yangling Marquis could only bear it even if he was angry.
The turning point of the matter was on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.
In order to ensure the smooth birth of the fetus, Qin Luan, who was about to give birth, had to walk in the back garden every day. When she returned to the yard, she bumped into Aunt Liang who was walking towards her.
Both of them fell to the ground.
Aunt Liang was fine, but Qin Luan's face turned pale with pain, and then she was in a miscarriage, as if she was going to give birth prematurely.
Outside Fuchun Hall.
Yangling Hou paced back and forth at the door with a gloomy face, while Aunt Liang knelt on one side. Inside the house, Qin Luan's heart-wrenching screams were heard one after another, which made people panic.
Shen Qing walked in quickly from outside the courtyard, helped Aunt Liang up, and asked, "What's going on?"
Before Aunt Liang could speak, Yangling Hou's angry rebuke came down on her head, "What's going on? This bitch caused A Luan to have a difficult birth. It's only been a short time, and two basins of blood have been brought out!"
At this point, Yangling Hou's eyes turned red.
Raising Qin Luan and taking her as a concubine, Yangling Hou's feelings for her were deeper than those of every other wife and concubine in the mansion.
Qin Luan's voice in the house was shrill and hoarse, and it was obvious that she was in extreme pain.
Shen Qing frowned, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.
She arranged the scene of Aunt Liang and Qin Luan colliding, and everyone present was her people, so Qin Luan's fall was fake, just for the outsiders in the distance to see, but now Qin Luan is really in premature and difficult labor.
Coincidence?
Impossible, a few days ago, Doctor Zhang diagnosed Qin Luan's pulse and said that the fetus in Qin Luan's belly was fine and she could give birth on the day, but because it was the first child, she might suffer some pain during the birth, but the probability of difficult labor was extremely small.
So what went wrong?
While Shen Qing was thinking, Qin Luan's screams in the room gradually weakened.
Without much delay, Shen Qing looked at Fu Yi on the side, "Fu Yi, go in and see how Aunt Xu is doing."
Although Fu Yi is not a midwife, her medical skills are superb. If there is really an accident, she can also help to save Qin Luan's life.
Fu Yi responded and was about to go into the house when Yang Linghou stopped her, "Stop! I won't let you enter A Luan's house!"
Yang Linghou didn't know Fu Yi's background, but he knew that Fu Yi was Shen Qing's man.
He was full of distrust towards Shen Qing.
Shen Qing's expression was a little cold, "Father, Fu Yi knows medicine. If you stop her, you are putting Aunt Xu in danger."
Yang Linghou was relentless, "The midwife will take care of the delivery, you don't need to worry about it!"
The midwife was personally selected by Yang Linghou, and he trusted her.
The matter was urgent, Shen Qing was too lazy to argue with Yang Linghou anymore, and signaled Fu Yi not to pay attention to Yang Linghou and go in directly.
Seeing Fu Yi trying to force his way in, Yang Linghou suddenly became anxious, and strode forward to grab Fu Yi, but was controlled by Chen Qi first.
Yangling Hou cursed without caring about his image, his eyes were bloodshot, "Shen Qing, if anything happens to Aluan, I will not let you go!"
Shen Qing turned his head and ignored him.
As soon as Fu Yi walked to the door, she saw the door was opened from the inside. The sweaty Granny Jiang poked her head out and looked at Yangling Hou anxiously, "Marquis, my aunt is having a difficult birth, will you save the eldest or the youngest?"
