Aunt Zhijia held her stomach and wanted to roll over on the ground in pain: "It hurts so much! It hurts! My Lord! My child, My Lord!"
Old Lady Lu hurriedly had Concubine Jia carried to the nearest courtyard: "Where's the doctor? Doctor!"
There is only one doctor in the mansion who can help Concubine Jia with her pregnancy, but the doctor has to go home on August 15th, the day for family reunion. How can he be found so easily?
When the doctor arrived, two fully formed children had already been born quietly, a boy and a girl, twins.
Aunt Jia held the two lifeless children in her arms, crying heartbreakingly: "My children, my children!"
Jiayue saw something was wrong and quickly asked the maid to take the child away: "If you continue like this, you will die too."
The old woman came out in a hurry, and the blanket fell apart, revealing the two children's innocent faces.
Lu Yan saw this and felt a mixture of emotions: "Where should I put this child?"
The old woman hurriedly wrapped the two children up and said, "In reply to the Marquis, our Lu family has a special burial place for these children who died in infancy."
"That's good. Give me a thin coffin and burn more paper money." Lu Yan took out a piece of silver from his pocket and threw it over.
The old woman took it and hurriedly pushed the child down.
Aunt Jia watched the child being taken away and struggled to get out of bed, but she had just suffered a miscarriage and was very weak. Her legs went limp and she fell heavily to the ground.
"What are you doing! If you don't take care of your body, who will pity you in the future?" Jiayue hurried to support her and advised her, hoping that she could think more positively.
Aunt Jia pushed Jiayue away and struggled to crawl out.
Jiayue grabbed her arm again: "You just had a miscarriage and the bleeding hasn't stopped yet. Behave yourself."
Concubine Jia glared at her fiercely: "I am honest, who will seek justice for my child! I want to see the Marquis, I want to see the Fourth Prince to make the decision for me!"
"Shut up!" Jia Yue covered Aunt Jia's mouth with her hand. They were the Fourth Prince's people, and only Wu Ziya knew about it in the entire Lu family. Everyone else just thought they were Wu Ziya's dowry maids.
Now that Concubine Jia has exposed the matter like this, if there are still people of the Fourth Prince in the mansion, Concubine Jia might be dead.
Just as Jiayue was panicking, Lu Yan pushed the door open and walked in.
Jia Yue felt a chill on her back and quickly tried to find words to excuse Aunt Jia, only to hear Lu Yan's gloomy voice: "Don't worry, I will ask the Fourth Prince to make the decision for you and your son."
Lu Yan was upset and naturally did not hear what Aunt Jia had just said. It was just that Wu Ziya's father worked for the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince was the matchmaker for their marriage. Such a big thing had happened, and if Wu Ziya was to be punished, the Fourth Prince naturally had to be informed.
After saying that, Lu Yan looked at Jiayue and said, "Take good care of her."
Jiayue breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Don't worry, my lord. I will take good care of her."
Perhaps it was because of Lu Yan's assurance that Aunt Jia lost all her control and fainted on the spot. Jia Yue quickly took her back to bed and asked the doctor to examine her and prescribe medicine.
When Old Lady Lu learned that she had miscarried two children, a boy and a girl, she immediately had a headache and couldn't get out of bed. She held Qi Jing's hand and kept groaning, muttering: "Yan'er only had two children. It would have been great if two were lost. The other one was a girl. If she had given birth, we would have had three sons and one daughter. Just imagine, these two identical little babies standing in front of me, calling me grandmother, just thinking about it..."
As Old Lady Lu spoke, tears started to fall.
Qi Jing said nothing, but was complaining in her heart that if she had really given birth to the child, you might not like it. It was only now that she felt regretful that the child was gone.
Seeing that Qi Jing couldn't comfort her, Old Lady Lu sighed and said, "Call Yan'er over."
As soon as Lu Yan arrived, Old Lady Lu said in a categorical voice, "Divorce her! Divorce that vicious woman!"
Lu Yan did not respond to her words, but only said: "Grandma, you can't work too hard, and you can't be angry anymore."
"You know I can't get angry, so just divorce her!" Old Lady Lu felt heartbroken whenever she thought of the loss of her two children.
Lu Yan lowered his head and said, "Grandma, it's my fault. I failed to manage the harem well."
After venting her anger, Old Lady Lu calmed down a little. She also knew that divorcing Wu Ziya was impossible.
She waved her hand and said, "The inner house is not your business. That Bai is also incompetent. All she thinks about is making money and she has no idea how to manage the inner house."
Lu Yan also knew that Bai Wanyi's mind was not on the management of the inner house, so he couldn't respond to this.
Old Lady Lu looked at him and sighed, "Forget it, forget it. I'm not being nice to Bai either. I just hope that after this loss, Bai can focus on the inner house. Forget about anything else. Ping'er went out to change clothes, and there was no one to wait on her. As a mother, she didn't even bother to look after her."
"Grandma said so."
Lu Yan agreed obediently, helped her drink the medicine, and then went to see Ping'er.
Bai Wanyi refused to let him see: "If you don't keep Ping'er on your side, you have no right to see him!"
Lu Yan didn't force it. He saw that Bai Wanyi was not anxious, so Ping'er must be fine. He looked at the wound on Bai Wanyi's neck again, opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed it back. Finally, he said, "I'll go find the Fourth Prince."
But before Lu Yan could go find the Fourth Prince, Lord Wu and his wife hurried over.
Mrs. Wu, who usually looked up at the top of her head, now had an apologetic look on her face. When she saw Lu Yan, she started crying first: "It's my fault for not taking good care of Yu'er. I caused such a disaster! I don't mind you hitting her or scolding her."
Lord Wu also said, "I immediately reported this to the Fourth Prince. His Highness said it was a minor matter, and once he knew about it, he would compensate you with several fertile women to bear you children."
The implication is that the Fourth Prince knows about it, so you just have to bear with it.
Lu Yan, who had just been able to comfort Old Lady Lu, now felt like he had a breath stuck in his chest, unable to spit it out or swallow it.
Seeing that he was silent, Lord Wu sighed and said, "Shall we go see Yu'er first?"
Lu Yan took a deep breath, turned around and led the way to the main courtyard.
Madam Wu wiped away her tears, her words filled with apologies: "We have spoiled this child. He is simple-minded and easily deceived by slander. I will personally go over and arrest everyone in the courtyard. I will interrogate them one by one and make sure to give an explanation to the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion."
There was a sinister glint in Mrs. Wu's eyes. She was determined to deal with that wet nurse this time!
When they arrived at the main courtyard, Wu Ziya felt reassured when she saw her parents coming. She rushed over and hugged Madam Wu, then knelt at her feet and sobbed bitterly, "Father and Mother! I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Madam Wu grabbed Wu Ziya's arm, squeezed it, and forced her to look up at her. She stared into her eyes and said word by word, "You are confused! You must know that as the mistress of the house, the most important thing is to reproduce children for the husband's family! I hold every illegitimate child in my family in my hands and treat them the same as you legitimate children."
"I brought you up through my words and actions. How could you harm someone else's child? You're so stupid!"
Wu Ziya's mind raced. Her mother meant for her to shift the blame and pass the buck!
But who should I give it to?
