As expected, Yu could not hold it in any longer. She touched her belly and was overjoyed to see the prescription presented by Hai Lan.
She had been thinking of a way to deal with Qu Moying before, but her daughter Qu Qiuyan was really disappointing her recently. Qu Qiuyan didn't even see Hai Lan. Because she was grounded, there were people guarding her door. Even if Yu wanted Hai Lan to go and see Qu Qiuyan, it would be inconvenient.
What annoyed Yu more was Qu Zhizhen's attitude. Qu Zhizhen had been looking forward to the birth of her baby. Even if he didn't come over, he would ask someone to send things over from time to time. However, in the past few days, he didn't send anything over.
Hai Lan said that Qu Zhizhen had been very busy these days. She said that he was still investigating the assassins. Every official was busy investigating the case. Therefore, Qu Zhizhen didn't ask people to send things to Yu these days.

Granny Wu came in with a panicked expression."What's the matter?" The Old Lady asked."Something happened to Madam. She needs a doctor." Granny Wu said anxiously. She looked at Qu Moying at the side and decided not to report in detail.However, the Old Lady understood, and her expression changed slightly. "Have you sent for a doctor?""I have already sent for a doctor. Your Ladyship, do you want to go take a look?" Granny Wu asked. No matter how bad Yu was, she was still Old Lady Qu's daughter-in-law and the madam of Qu Mansion."I'll go take a look." The Old Lady stood up after thinking for a while. "Is Zhizhen in the mansion?""I've already sent someone to wait at the mansion's door. If Second Master comes back, he will be informed immediately." Granny Wu said. She had served the Old Lady for many years, and she was experienced and prudent. She had arranged everything well before coming to the Ol
"My lord, it's true this time. I..." Yu continued.Qu Zhizhen became more and more impatient and asked coldly, "Which time was it not true?""My lord... it was true every time. Why don't you believe me but believe in Ying... I am pregnant with your child. Don't you think about the child in my belly? If not, I would rather die." Yu didn't know why things were like this. She cried out and patted her belly. She didn't believe that Qu Zhizhen didn't care about the child.Qu Zhizhen pushed her away and looked coldly at Yu. "Yu, don't mess around with me. The child should have been aborted. Since you think the same way as me, it's even better.""Wh... what..." Yu moved back on the bed in shock."Don't you understand? You have taken so much strong medicine. How can you give birth to this child? I have asked the Imperial Doctor. You probably couldn't give birth to this child. Even if it is born, it will be an abnormal c
Qu Qiuyan flung her sleeve and pouted. "I'm not going. You go yourself. I'll go back first."Seeing her expression, Qu Mingcheng knew that he could not force her. He could only let go of her hand and gently comforted her, "You go back first. I will come to see you later.""Then I'll leave first." Qu Qiuyan said.Qu Mingcheng nodded and watched Qu Qiuyan leave before entering the room.After spitting a mouthful of blood, Yu lay on the bed, exhausted. She saw stars, and she was gasping with her eyes closed like a defeated cock."Second Young Master has come!" Hai Lan's excited voice rang in her ears.Lying on the bed, Yu hurriedly opened her eyes and asked eagerly, "Is Mingcheng here? Where is Mingcheng?""Mother, I am here." Qu Mingcheng walked to the side of the bed and sat down on a chair. He grabbed Yu's hand and asked, "Mother, are you feeling better?"Holding Qu Mingche
The assassins had yet to be found out. Everyone in the capital was trying to find out who launched the assassination, but it was too difficult.The assassins had all escaped unscathed. Just as the guards were about to attack them with all their might, they all escaped.The Crown Prince and Lord Jing were both safe and sound, so many people thought that there was something strange about the assassination. Some people even thought that it was related to the Crown Prince and Lord Jing.After all, the previous assassination involved Lord Yun, so it was possible that the Crown Prince and Lord Jing planned this assassination to purge themselves of suspicion regarding the previous assassination.Otherwise, why couldn't an assassin be caught? The injured assassin was taken away. The only one who was hurt was a woman in the Crown Prince Mansion. The one in Lord Jing Mansion did not even have a title.Because of the assas
"Fourth Lady, Her Ladyship wants to see you." An old maid sent by the Old Lady said with a smile."Is there anything?" Qu Moying asked in surprise. When she greeted the Old Lady this morning, the Old Lady didn't say anything. Why did the Old Lady suddenly send someone over at this time?"Fourth Lady, you will know as long as you get there." The old maid was all smiles. It seemed to be a good thing.Seeing that the old maid really didn't want to tell her, Qu Moying didn't ask again. She asked Yu Chun to help her freshen up. Then, she went to the Old Lady's yard with Yu Chun.When Qu Moying entered the Old Lady's room, she saw that there was a guest in the room. She lowered her head and went forward, and then she bowed to the Old Lady in the middle. "Greetings, grandmother.""Come here. Come and meet your Cousin Xiao." Old Lady Qu said with a smile.Qu Moying obediently took two steps forward and look
"Moying, did you find anything?" Qu Xuexin whispered into Qu Moying's ear.Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and looked at Qu Xuexin. She shook her head and pointed outside, signaling Qu Xuexin to continue listening.The matters outside had basically been dealt with. Hai Lan could do nothing except follow the Ministry of Justice's official.After the people outside left, Qu Xuexin and Qu Moying came out from behind the folding screen.The two of them sat down on both sides of the Old Lady."Grandmother, what shop were you talking about? Is it Madam's own shop?" Qu Moying looked up and asked.In fact, Yu didn't have her own shop. She entered the mansion as a noble concubine. How could she have any shops?Qu Moying's words reminded the Old Lady, and she said, "Granny Wu, go and find out which shop Yu is in charge of. Where did she get the deed of the shop?"The mansion was in cha
"Your mother's dowry?" Qu Qiuyan was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Qu Xuexin beside her, only to see Qu Xuexin nodding at her."Yes, it is my mother's dowry." Qu Moying said flatly. The corners of her lips curled into a faintly mocking smile."You... you're talking nonsense. They belong to the mansion. They are father's shops." Qu Qiuyan shook her head in disbelief and said subconsciously.Qu Moying still smiled and said, "They are my mother's property. How could they be the mansion's property? Grandmother has made it clear. Third Sister, please give the account books to me so that I could investigate them clearly in case the Ministry of Justice comes to us again and charges us with the crime of deception.""What... what do you mean?" Qu Qiuyan's expression changed drastically. Why was this related to the Ministry of Justice?"I heard that someone from Mrs. Yu's family is taking care of my
When the Old Lady arrived at Qu Zhizhen's study, Qu Zhizhen had already received the news. After he helped the Old Lady inside to sit down, he looked at Hai Lan, who had already knelt in front of him, and said with a gloomy face, "Tell me everything in detail."Aunty Hai Lan didn't dare to hold back anything, so she told him everything in detail, including Yu Qian asking an old maid to ask for her instruction."Mother, Yu's people did this themselves." Qu Zhizhen said with certainty after hearing Hai Lan's confession."I know, but this matter is related to our mansion. Think about it, others will wonder how Yu Qian had the guts to lie to the people of Duke Yu Mansion? He wouldn't dare unless he has someone backing him up." The Old Lady couldn't help but frown as she sighed."You can leave now." Qu Zhizhen ordered Aunty Hai Lan coldly.Aunty Hai Lan hurriedly retreated."Mother, even big families lik
