Chapter 43 There is a good bird in the West Courtyard
Qin Jiangyun was having a headache about this matter, and after Luan Jie'er drank the medicine and fell asleep peacefully, she sent all the servants away and only left Aunt Chun.
Qin sat on the bed, her brows furrowed, her face looking gloomy.
"I thought I could use this opportunity to vent my anger, but I ended up doing something for someone else, letting that little bitch get all the limelight! Look at the way our master looked. When he heard the doctor say that bitch was pregnant, he almost talked a lot to the sky. He didn't even care about my sister Luan's life or death!"
Aunt Chun had a bandage wrapped around her forehead. She sat by the bed and tucked the quilt corners for her.
"Grandma, that bitch is indeed abominable, but Luanjie's crime was not hers after all, and Fencao's evil heart has been exposed. That bitch was only used by Master once or twice, but she actually had such wishful thinking. She probably disliked the one in the West Wing, and probably hated me too. I didn't expect that she would dare to target the eldest lady... Every wrong has its perpetrator, and if you think about it, the one in the West Wing has some merits..."
Qin interrupted her.
"No matter how you look at it, it's all thanks to Mrs. Sanlang. Who the hell is she?"
Aunt Chun knew that she was full of hatred and stopped speaking for Aunt Xue.
"… Grandma is right."
"Chun'er, we took all precautions, how come she is still pregnant? Didn't you send her medicine every day? How dare that bitch not drink it?"
"That bastard is arrogant in other matters, but he is always happy to take medicine. He drinks whatever is given to him... He never asks what the medicine is."
Qin suddenly remembered that Qi Chengzhou had to visit her in the middle of the night, and she felt sick.
"You can guard against the open, but not the secret. Look at our immature master. What good thing is there in a country girl that he would go to such great lengths to forcefully bring into his house? One should at least be careful about a person's reputation and a tree's shadow. He really has no idea of taboos."
Aunt Chun didn't dare to join in scolding the master, and only dared to scold Aunt Xue.
"What good can that bitch have except her seductive ways? She is not even worthy of picking up grandma's shoes! But... grandma, I'm not saying anything too much, but that vixen is pregnant now, and I'm afraid she will become even more rampant in the future..."
The second master has no son yet, and if this is a boy, he would probably be as annoying as he is.
Qin had thought about this a long time ago. After hearing this, she fell on the pillow and sighed softly.
"What's the big deal about being so arrogant? If she gives birth to a son, this courtyard will become even more lawless. By then, not to mention you and me, I'm afraid even my Luan'er will be trampled under the feet of her child."
Aunt Chun thought of something in her mind, looked at Qin Jiangyun's face, and said it hesitantly.
"Grandma, it's easy for us to take precautions beforehand, but after this... our master has a sharp eye and is keeping a close eye on us. He got the news yesterday and added a few trusted followers to the west wing. They carefully select everything we eat and use, leaving no room for anything. This makes it a bit difficult for us..."
Qin Jiangyun stroked his forehead in a daze, hundreds of thoughts running through his mind, and gradually he came up with an idea, but he didn't say anything.
After a long time, she sighed.
"Chun'er, I'm on guard against everyone except you. Why are you so disappointing? It's been so long, and there's still no movement? If there was a boy or a girl, we would be more resilient."
Aunt Chun was speechless for a moment.
She didn't know whether Qin Jiangyun was really not on guard against her, she only knew that she was on guard against herself.
She was a born maid in the Qin family. It was her destiny to serve the Second Master in this life. But she knew that Qin Jiangyun had been a proud and arrogant person since childhood. Now that he saw that she, a maid, was loyal and serving her and the eldest lady, he still gave her a place to stay.
If I really have a child, would I still be given this little place to stay? It's hard to say.
Even without a child, Qin Jiangyun could still support her.
If they had a child, perhaps the Second Master would be able to give her some support, but no matter what Qin said, she must have felt uncomfortable in her heart.
As for Mr. Qi's character...she felt that Qin Jiangyun was more reliable.
In the west wing, the unreliable Second Master was sitting beside Aunt Xue's bed, holding her hand and smiling in a very worthless way.
"Little hoof, you are so careless that you don't even know you have my child, and you are jumping around and causing trouble! Fortunately, the child is fine. If anything happened to you and your mother, I would beat those servants to death."
Aunt Xue leaned on the pillow, without a trace of smile on her face. She had vaguely guessed it since her period hadn't come last month.
He has been drinking a lot recently, and tonight he deliberately caused trouble, but the child is still safe and sound. It's really an injustice.
She pulled her hand away.
"You are the boss, so you can beat whoever you want. We are sworn brothers in Meixiang - who is not a slave? Naturally, my life is worthless and can be dealt with by anyone."
When Qi Chengzhou saw her bring it up again, he thought of last night's farce and felt a little annoyed.
"What are you talking about! Who doesn't treat you as the master? Second Madam only said a few words to you, and you just got angry!"
Halfway through his words, Qi Chengzhou smiled with relief.
"Don't worry. If you give birth to a son for me in the future, I will definitely give you two a share of the family business I have earned, so that I can teach you to be the masters of the family for a long time."
Aunt Xue turned her head away and said nothing.
"My dear, if you want to eat something, want something, or play something, just tell me and I will agree to it."
After a while, Aunt Xue spoke softly.
"I want to go out and take a look... go back to my hometown."
Qi Chengzhou suddenly stopped smiling.
"No."
Aunt Xue stared into his eyes coldly.
"You just said it, I agree to it!"
"Everything else is acceptable, but not this."
Aunt Xue knew that he would not nod, so she turned over and faced inside, not wanting to look at him.
"I've been locked up in your house all day. I've turned a good person into a bird!"
Qi Chengzhou then lay down and started laughing again.
"My dear, even if you were a bird, you would be a beautiful canary, prettier than any other bird!"
Aunt Xue felt a chill in her heart and turned over.
"In that case, just buy a few birds to play with - you just treat people as toys, and toys themselves should also have some toys to play with!"
"What nonsense! You want to raise a bird? That's not difficult. I'll send someone to buy one tomorrow morning. I'll pick the best, obedient ones that can sing. I'll give them a good cage and good food. I'm sure they'll make you happy."
Aunt Xue didn't respond. She just lay down, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
Two days later, Qi Chengzhou really got bird cages of various colors and hung them in a row under the corridor of the west wing. There were canaries that could sing and colorful parrots that could mimic human speech. All day long, one after another sang and another appeared on the stage, which was very lively.
Aunt Xue was very attentive and fed the birds herself. The birds she raised had bright feathers and loud voices.
When she had nothing to do, she would just sit by the window and stare at the bird in a daze.
I have a lot of secrets in my heart, but I don’t say them out loud.
