Chapter 559 The Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law Shift Responsibility
Saying the child is difficult to raise is a euphemism; it's just short of explicitly stating that the child will die young.
When her master taught her the method, he said it was nothing more than a short-sighted solution.
If she encounters a difficult family, she might be able to use this method to save her life and escape.
As for what happens after that, that's none of her business. Once she's free, all she needs to do is run far, far away.
But now, the reason she is revealing this method is not only because of the old lady's eager anticipation, but also because she is confident in her current medical skills.
She believed that with her skills, as long as Wei Jia and her son were still alive, she would definitely be able to cure them.
Even if they can't be cured, saving their lives and ensuring their longevity shouldn't be a problem. A weak body is better than death, right?
Of course, the most important reason she did this was that she wanted to use this incident to resolve the estrangement that had arisen between her and the old lady because of her concealment of her identity.
Upon hearing this, Wei Jia shook her head frantically, repeatedly muttering, "Save the child, save the child..."
Qiao Qinghe looked at Wei Jia with a resolute expression, "Either save the mother, or use Doctor Mu's method!"
"Mother..." Wei Jia still wanted to try.
Qiao Qinghe had already made the decision for her.
"Use your method then." Qiao Qinghe looked sharply at Mu Jin. "I don't want to see any unexpected events."
Mu Jin nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Madam, I guarantee that both mother and child will survive. As for after childbirth..."
"It's good that you're alive! As for the rest, we can take care of it later."
"Okay, I'll go prepare it right away."
Mu Jin went out, and Qiao Qinghe looked at Wei Jia with a determined gaze, "Hang in there! You will all be safe and sound!"
When Mu Jin came back in, Qiao Qinghe was asked to leave.
Qiao Qinghe originally wanted to protest, but Mu Jin said that her presence in the room would affect everyone's mood.
At this moment, Qiao Qinghe realized that everyone else was being very careful in everything they did, and sometimes they would unconsciously observe her expression, as if they were afraid of doing something wrong and bringing disaster upon themselves.
Qiao Qinghe had no choice but to leave.
The baby wouldn't be born anytime soon, so Qiao Qinghe, to avoid getting too stressed, decided to distract herself with something else. She beckoned to He Shi.
"Madam." Madam He hurried over, glanced at Qiao Qinghe's face, and asked cautiously, "Is the First Madam lacking something?"
Qiao Qinghe shook her head, "There's nothing lacking inside, you did a good job. I'll reward you separately after the First Madam gives birth safely."
"Thank you, Madam." Madam He quickly expressed her gratitude, then asked with a puzzled look, "Then why did you call me here...?"
Qiao Qinghe's face darkened, and she said coldly, "I heard from the gatekeeper that Wei Jia had a difficult childbirth after meeting with Granny Fang and her mother-in-law?"
Madam He dared not conceal the truth and quickly replied, "That's right. Earlier, the old lady took the third wife out..."
Mrs. He quickly recounted the whole story.
Not long after Qiao Qinghe took Feng Yuerou to the Dali Temple, Granny Fang brought Liao Shi to their door.
However, even after the gatekeeper told them that the old lady was not in the mansion, Granny Fang and her daughter-in-law still refused to leave.
Liao was even more arrogant, scolding the gatekeepers and servants, saying that when they were serving the old lady, these people weren't even born yet!
They've only been gone a short time! And you're already looking down on them and not recognizing them!
Finally, they even made a scene at the door, saying that the old lady was heartless and that they had served her for decades, but she was trying to kill them all because of a small mistake.
He presented himself as a pitiful victim, which attracted a large crowd of onlookers.
There was no way around it; even in the eastern part of the city, where the powerful and wealthy resided, if there was any excitement in front of someone's house, each household would send a servant or steward to join in the fun. This was even more true in the southern part of the city, where merchants lived.
In less than fifteen minutes, the entrance to the Qiao residence was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
The matter was immediately reported to Madam He. Coincidentally, Madam He was also discussing preparations for childbirth and postpartum care with Weijia at that time.
After learning that Granny Fang and her daughter-in-law were causing trouble at the door, Wei Jia invited the two of them in.
Originally, Wei Jia wanted to ask Granny Fang what was wrong, out of consideration for their past relationship.
As a result, Liao immediately spat at Wei Jia, cursing her for being nothing more than a bought maid who dared to act like a master in front of her and her mother-in-law, and also scolding Wei Jia for blocking them from entering the house, saying she was simply arrogant.
At first, Wei Jia endured it, but later Liao's insults became increasingly offensive. Wei Jia asked her several times to sit down and talk calmly, but she still wouldn't let it go.
Wei Jia then ordered someone to restrain Liao Shi and gag her.
Seeing this, Fang Mama, who had been silent all along, became anxious and said that Wei Jia didn't respect her. She also said that Liao Shi was an elder, so how dare she treat Liao Shi like this? She kept shouting that she wanted to see the old lady.
Wei Jia told her that the old lady was not here and asked them to go back first and come back another day.
As a result, Granny Fang thought that Wei Jia was driving them away, and immediately tried to block Wei Jia's way.
Just then, Liao suddenly broke free from the two maids who were holding her down and rushed forward to bump into Granny Fang.
Granny Fang was already quite old, and the past six months had been difficult for her, causing her to age considerably.
Caught off guard and without any time to react, he instinctively lunged at Wei Jia, who was closest to him, in an attempt to steady himself.
As Fang Mama lunged, she bumped into Wei Jia's protruding belly.
Wei Jia's condition flared up immediately.
After hearing He's story, Qiao Qinghe's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law clearly came here on purpose to cause trouble.
Why would they suddenly come to cause trouble?
What is their purpose in doing this?
Where is the person now?
Madam He said cautiously, "After the incident, Granny Fang wanted to leave with Madam Liao, but I forcibly detained her. She's currently locked up in the storeroom in the back wing."
Qiao Qinghe turned her head to look at the room where Wei Jia was, stood up and ordered, "Take me to see it."
"yes."
Soon, Qiao Qinghe was taken to the room where Granny Fang and her daughter-in-law were being held.
At this moment, things were not peaceful in the room between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Granny Fang paced back and forth in the small room, muttering complaints about Madam Liao as she went.
Why did you bump into me? Were you deliberately aiming for Weijia's stomach?
"Tell me, when you coaxed me to come see the old lady today, wasn't it with the intention of harming Wei Jia?"
"Although Wei Jia is not a good person, the child in her belly is the old lady's own grand-nephew!"
"The old lady cherishes her belly so much, how could you dare to harbor ill intentions towards that child?"
"Tell me, why did you do this?"
Sitting on the stool, Liao said with a resentful look, "Mother, I've already told you, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose, why won't you believe me?"
"I was just like you, trying to stop Weijia from leaving. Who knew I'd run too fast and bump into you."
"It's your own fault for throwing yourself at Wei Jia of all people. You can't blame me for this, can you?"
Granny Fang was so angry she nearly fell backward. "So, according to you, it's my fault?"
