She even had a kind of reckless madness, blaming Ponta on him regardless of whether he was right or wrong.
Moreover, the Pei family, while keeping an eye on the families of Master Qiao and Second Master Qiao, did not discover any suspicious signs.
The Qiao family was plunged into a state of oppression; no one could see a smile on their face.
Although money was pouring in every day, no one felt happy about it.
“We haven’t written to Datian Village yet; our family there doesn’t know about this,” Da Cheng said.
There was another moment of silence.
They were eagerly anticipating Qiao Xi'er's safe delivery every day, and every time they wrote a letter, they would inquire about Qiao Xi'er's condition.
If they found out, they would be so upset.
"Let's keep it a secret for now. Just say in the letter that everything is fine and we won't bring them to the capital for a while. We'll tell them when Sister Xi'er has recovered and is pregnant again," Qiao Lian'er said.
Everyone agreed.
When you conceive again, with new expectations, you won't need to focus on the pain of the past.
Everyone urged Qiao Lian'er to eat more, and Qiao Lian'er agreed, forcing herself to eat an extra half bowl of rice.
She absolutely cannot collapse; this family depends on her to hold it together.
Three days before the results were announced, a rumor began to circulate in the capital that some candidates for the imperial examinations were destined to be unlucky, their fates clashing with the nation's destiny, and that they might even shorten the emperor's lifespan.
If such a person holds a high position, the harm will be even greater and the consequences even more serious.
At the same time, several fires broke out in the capital, which corresponded to the ominous prophecy.
Upon hearing this news, Qiao Lian'er knew that the other side had launched a third wave of attacks.
Who is clashing with the fate of the nation? It's Mu Xinghe, of course. It seems that he won't give up until he's completely destroyed.
Mu Xinghe also heard the rumors, and because of what had happened before, he naturally thought of himself.
"Lian'er, this rumor isn't referring to me, is it?"
Qiao Lian'er turned around and saw that Qiao Xi'er had come out of the room at some point and was standing at the door, looking down at the pavilion.
She felt a pang of sadness, got up, and helped Qiao Xier into the room.
"Sister Xi'er, you should rest well. I need to discuss something with Brother Xinghe."
Qiao Xi'er opened her mouth, her voice hoarse and unaccustomed to her speech after a long silence: "I overheard the servants discussing that some students have bad luck and are a major threat to the imperial family. Lian'er, who are they talking about?"
"No matter who it is, I will plan ahead," Qiao Lian'er said.
Seeing that she was calm, Qiao Xi'er felt much more at ease. She laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "To be honest, it's my own fault. You quickly cleared Xinghe's name, but I couldn't even keep the baby."
"Sister Xi'er, please don't blame yourself. This happened so suddenly, and the other party's methods were so despicable, which caused you to have such emotional ups and downs."
She knew that Qiao Xi'er had been feeling down lately because she was blaming herself.
But what did she do wrong?
Not wanting to disturb them, Qiao Xi'er sat at her desk and practiced calligraphy. Only by focusing on her work could she stop thinking about that matter.
Qiao Lian'er sat back down in the pavilion and saw Mu Xinghe looking at the door of the room with a melancholy expression. She couldn't help but sigh and say, "What a pair of ill-fated lovers."
"The other party is creating momentum now. Once many people know about this, and it even reaches the palace, they will release your birth date and time."
