Chapter 340 Yuzhu Kills Her Familiar

"In reply to Lord Xie, Madam Feng has passed away."

The officer saluted and spoke cautiously.

Xie Zhao said he knew, and asked Xiao She who was standing beside him, "Your Majesty, can I leave now?"

One hidden danger has been eliminated, that’s good.

If Wei Jing were alive, she would have madly targeted Jiang Yuzhu. If it weren't for the overall situation, Xie Zhao would have taken action long ago.

Will he tolerate someone plotting against his wife?

Xiao She was extremely speechless. He gave Xie Zhao a thumbs up and said, "Yuanhe, they say that men are cruel. I have seen it."

Wei Jing was still waiting to use her life to gain Xie Zhao's attention, but now Xiao She could give Wei Jing an answer, but there was none.

Xie Zhao's heart is made of stone!

"Your Majesty, if I am indecisive, I will have no time to devote myself to Da Qi."

Xie Zhao teased with a faint smile on his face.

Xiao She shook his head and sighed, "Alas, although Wei Jing went astray, it was because of love. Such an infatuated woman ended up like this."

Seeing Xiao She sympathize with Wei Jing, Xie Zhao also showed a look of regret and said, "Yes, since the emperor admires Madam Feng, why not take her into the harem?"

In this way, Wei Jing won't have to die, and she can still appear every day to annoy people.

Xiao She shuddered and said in shock: "Yuan He, I have never gotten the upper hand from you."

Just now, Xiao She was just saying it casually.

"By the way, Jiang Yuzhu has tens of thousands of private soldiers. Yuanhe, you have to take them back."

Xie Zhao went out, and Xiao She followed behind him, muttering to him.

Xie Zhao stopped walking, turned around and spread his hands: "Your Majesty, you think too highly of me."

If you want to get someone back from Jiang Yuzhu, you have to pay money.

If the money is not enough, there is no need to discuss it.

Xiao She felt pain in his heart, and said resignedly: "I am not an unreasonable person. She pays for her support, I will not give her less money, but..."

After all, Xiao She and Xie Zhao are brothers, his cousin Princess Yutan is married to Jiang Huaiqing, and Zhao Fendie is Jiang Yuzhu's good sister. With so many layers of relationships involved, can Jiang Yuzhu give a price that is that of an acquaintance?

"I suggest you don't try to get close to Yuzhu. She's a good person."

Just stick to the facts. I won't ask for more money.

Xiao She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He held it in for a long while before saying, "Okay."

When we left the Dali Temple, Liang An was already waiting with a horse.

Xie Zhao mounted his horse and prepared to leave the city overnight.

Xiao She looked at Xie Zhao's back and tried to mention Zhao Fendie several times, but he swallowed the words and said softly, "Take care."

The sun sets in the west and the dusk deepens.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, and every household is preparing for the reunion dinner.

Jiang Yuzhu was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to move around, so Shen came specially and brought a few dishes made by the Xie family's chef.

Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and she might give birth at any time. Jiang Yuzhu had given up struggling and was just waiting to deliver the baby.

In addition to the hired midwife, there was also a maid who was good at massage, and everyone was on high alert.

"Madam, there is a letter from the capital."

Before dinner, Hongli hurriedly took out a thick envelope.

Jiang Yuzhu sat up from the small couch and asked, "Is it a letter from the master?"

"No, it's a letter written by the eldest and second sons."

Hongli took out a piece of letter and handed it over with both hands.

Jiang Yuzhu was slow-witted. After a while, she changed to a half-lying position and said lazily, "Hongli, read to me."

It was nothing more than a letter to report safety and give some instructions.

Jiang Yuzhu picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

Hongli nodded, opened the letter, took a look at it, paused for a long time, and hesitated and looked at his wife secretly.

"Are there any rare characters?"

Seeing Hongli hesitate, Jiang Yuzhu asked.

Her eldest and second brothers were not very talented, but they loved to show off.

Hongli shook her head, cleared her throat and said, "Little sister, you haven't seen Yuanhe for a long time. Did you give him a token of your love?"

Without a greeting, the first sentence went straight to the point.

“Ahem!”

Jiang Yuzhu choked on her tea and thought she had misheard.

Could it be that the letters from my eldest and second brothers were replaced by someone?

"Show it to me!"

Jiang Huaida and Jiang Huaiqing must have been possessed by evil spirits.

Jiang Yuzhu hurriedly asked for the letter and read it three times from beginning to end.

There are greetings and so on, which are mentioned later.

In the first few lines, both of them mentioned Xie Zhao at the same time, saying that as men they could empathize with him and persuaded Jiang Yuzhu to pay more attention to Xie Zhao.

It is rare to meet a husband like Xie Zhao. Xie Zhao was appointed by the emperor as the new prime minister, and Jiang Yuzhu was already his wife.

“Outrageous!”

After reading the letter, Jiang Yuzhu gave it to her mother Chen to complain, "My eldest and second brothers have become traitors!"

Chen was a little embarrassed when she thought about her behavior when she first arrived in Suzhou. She promised, "After you give birth safely, I will return to the capital and teach your elder and second brothers well."

No matter how good Xie Zhao is, he can never compare to Yuzhu. You have to distinguish the primary from the secondary!

"Yuzhu, you are about to give birth, and there is no news from the capital. I guess Yuanhe is destined not to make it."

Chen advised Jiang Yuzhu to relax and say that as long as she didn't have too high hopes, she wouldn't be disappointed.

As the mistress of a wealthy family, sometimes she cannot rely on her husband.

"Mother, my daughter knows everything."

It would be better if Xie Zhao came, but if he wasn’t here, Jiang Yuzhu could understand.

In the end, she has to overcome this hurdle by herself; no one else can help her.

With Doctor Shao here, the most experienced midwife was hired, and all kinds of top-quality medicinal herbs for replenishing qi and blood were provided. The delivery room was already prepared, and she had nothing to worry about.

Next, follow the steps and let nature take its course.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiang Yuzhu waited until the third day of the ninth lunar month. Early in the morning, she felt a slight pain in her stomach.

Doctor Shao felt her pulse and said, "Generally, women who are pregnant with twins will give birth prematurely. It is normal to give birth more than a month early. You have taken good care of the twins. They are almost full-term."

It will definitely start today.

After hearing this, Jiang Yuzhu first looked at the almanac, and seeing that it was an auspicious day, she felt relieved.

Before giving birth, she took a leisurely walk in the garden, with Shen Zhilan following her, her palms full of sweat from nervousness.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Jiang Yuzhu felt her stomach tighten.

Shen Zhilan's expression suddenly changed and asked: "Do you want to..."

After seeing Jiang Yuzhu's water break, Shen Zhilan calmed down again.

The delivery room was not far from the garden, so she supported Jiang Yuzhu and walked directly to the delivery room.

Shen went to the farm every day. When she learned that her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, she hurried over.

Jiang Yuzhu had just laid down when two ragged men came to the door of the manor.

Xie Zhaofei dismounted and asked Cui Ji, who was guarding him, "Did the lady give birth?"

"Who?"

Cui Ji was startled and wondered where the beggar came from!

Seeing the person coming riding a thousand-mile horse, I felt that his identity was not simple.

Xie Zhao had a dry mouth and chapped lips. He hadn't slept for seven or eight days. He took a short rest on horseback and continued on his journey, trying to reach Su City as quickly as possible.

"master?"

Jiang Yuzhu wanted to eat taro cakes. Hongli was about to go to a farmer's house to ask for taro. When she saw Xie Zhao's hesitant tone, she almost didn't recognize him.

"Exactly."

Upon learning that his wife had launched an attack, Xie Zhao did not bother to pack up and rode into the farm on horseback.

He was too sloppy to enter the delivery room, and was ruthlessly stopped outside by Shen.

The couple looked at each other through the window. Jiang Yuzhu didn't recognize him and asked, "Who are you?"
