Chapter 258: The Wei Family Has Another Bloodline
Madam Wei knelt down in front of Madam Gu and said, "Sister, I won't live long. The Wei family has become like this now. I am really ashamed to see the ancestors of the Wei family. I can't let the Duke's bloodline end with Qian'er! Please, sister, you are the only one who can save Qian'er and continue your brother's incense."
Madam Gu sighed and said, "Your Highness has already shown mercy beyond the law and given Wei Qian a year to have an heir. He can't have an heir, so I can't persuade him anymore."
Madam Wei collapsed on the ground. Madam Gu hurriedly helped Madam Wei up and told the maid beside her, "Go and call Jingyu and the princess over!"
After Gu Yan in the inner room handed the child to the wet nurse, he went outside and checked Madam Wei's pulse, then frowned slightly.
Yun Xiangye also gave the child to the wet nurse and walked out. She saw that Madam Wei looked very bad, and she thought that the successive blows were really severe.
Gu Jingyu's courtyard was right next to Madam Wei. She happened to be there today. After rushing over to take Madam Wei's pulse and give her acupuncture, she also shook her head.
Madam Gu asked the Wei family servants to carry Madam Wei back to the Wei family. She looked at Gu Jingyu and said, "How many days will your great-aunt live?"
Gu Jingyu said: "I'm afraid it will only be in the next few days."
Madam Gu sighed and said, "Alas."
Madam Wei was paralyzed at Gu's house, so Mrs. Gu had to go to the Wei's house at least.
Gu Yan left the army and rushed back, even though he had obtained the promise of His Majesty and His Highness, it was still against the rules, so he could not leave the Princess's Mansion and let outsiders know that he had returned.
Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu accompanied Mrs. Gu to the Wei family.
In the Wei family, Madam Wei Yan became insane after losing her daughter. She often mistook the maidservants around her for Wei Xi, and kept telling them that she was of noble status. Wei Xi had the queen as her aunt, and should be the head of the noble ladies in the aristocratic families of Chang'an.
Yun Xiangye glanced at the crazy Yan and sighed slightly. As a mother, Yun Xiangye felt sympathy for Yan, but she also felt that there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
Until her death, Wei Xi wanted to alienate her and Gu Yan, not knowing that she came from such a noble family and was well-read. If Yan Shi had not compared herself with others and taught Wei Xi well, how could she have fallen to this point.
Xu Mengqi is much more arrogant than Wei Xi, but although she likes to compare herself with others, she has never had any bad thoughts. I think this is inseparable from the education of her mother, Madam Xu.
Unlike Wei Xi, it is already distorted.
But I think Yan also loved her daughter deeply, otherwise why would she be so crazy and sad after Wei Xi left?
Madam Wei didn't have much time left. The imperial doctors came twice, and Xie Zhixuan also brought doctors from Renyuan Pharmacy to check Madam Wei's pulse, but they were all powerless to save her.
That night, when Yun Xiangye was still accompanying Madam Gu, they saw the Empress, His Majesty, and the Crown Prince coming in disguise.
Queen Wei walked up to Madam Wei's bed and said, "Mother."
Madam Wei whispered, "You had a difficult birth when you gave birth to Yun'er, but I brought my concubine's daughter with me. I really treated you unfairly, but I had no choice at the time. You are my daughter, and mother loves you, but the future of the Duke of Wei's Mansion is more important."
Queen Wei said, "Mother, please stop talking about this. I am already a grandmother and Yun'er has a child."
Madam Wei said, "This is the knot between you and me. I want to say something else... and more... It's really hard for me to say it, but I still want to ask you to leave a biological bloodline for Zhan'er and your brother. Madam, I beg you..."
When Queen Wei heard this, she frowned.
His Majesty said from the side: "Besides Wei Qian, Wei Zhan has another blood relative."
Wei Zhan, who was standing aside, looked at His Majesty.
His Majesty looked at Gu Ling again and said, "Go ahead."
Gu Ling said to Wei Zhan, "I originally promised Qingyue that I would never tell her about this. But today my aunt is dying, and I'm going to break my promise and tell you that you have a biological son, who is Taoist Qingxuan from Qilin Temple."
Yun Xiangye was shocked when she heard Prince Ning say the news. It turned out to be Taoist Qingxuan?
Speaking of which, Yun Xiangye had actually forgotten about Fu Anran. Members of the Fu family were convicted one after another, but the women and side branches who had not participated in the conspiracy escaped. Fu Anran's father did not have much power in the court and did not participate much in it, but he was also implicated. He was dismissed from his post and sentenced to two years in prison. Three generations of the Fu family were not allowed to enter the court.
Yun Xiangye heard from Fu Qianran that Fu Anran's mother opened a spice shop in Chang'an City, so she could make a living.
Fu Qianran's mother also died early, and this second aunt helped her a lot. Fu Qianran also saved her second uncle's family, but she never heard her mention Fu Anran coming.
A lot of things happened in this year. Yun Xiangye also gave birth to two children. The embroidery workshop has become famous, so she no longer needs Fu Anran to dress her like before.
I don’t know if Fu Anran is still in the Taoist temple.
Wei Zhan frowned slightly and asked, "Did she give birth to the child?"
Gu Ling said: "Yes, when the Yan family injected the abortion drug, it was already seven months pregnant. The child was alive when it was aborted."
Queen Wei was confused and asked, "How could there be another child? What's the matter with the Yan family injecting abortion pills?"
Wei Zhan explained, "At that time, I had been married to Yan for two years. After Yan's first child miscarried, she had no children. The doctor invited by the Yan family said that Yan had difficulty giving birth, so Yan found the Taoist nun Qingyue in Qilin Temple and wanted her to give birth to my bloodline and treat it as Yan's son.
I did not agree to this at the time, but Yan was afraid that I would divorce her or take a concubine, so she drugged me, and Qingyue became pregnant with my child.
But unexpectedly, Yan also got pregnant a few days later. I had thought that the two children could be born as twins, but when Qingyue was seven months pregnant, the Yan family found out that Yan and she were both pregnant with boys, so they gave Qingyue an abortion drug and sent her back to Qilin Temple.
I gave Qingyue a sum of money at that time. It was me and Yan who let her down...but I didn't expect that after Qingyue took the abortion pill, the child was still alive."
Yan walked up to Gu Jingyu frantically and said, "The child is still alive, Xi'er, are you still alive?"
Gu Jingyu whispered, "Cousin, I am Jingyu, not cousin Wei Xi."
"My dear...my dear..."
Yan was crying like crazy.
Yun Xiangye did not have any sympathy for Yan at this moment. Yan asked a Taoist nun in the Taoist temple to give birth to a child for her. However, when it was confirmed that the fetus was a boy and the pregnancy was stable, she gave the poor girl, who had no choice, abortion drugs when she was seven months pregnant. What was the intention of this being murder?
Isn’t Yan’s current situation a kind of retribution?
Wei Zhan looked at Yan with a complicated expression and said, "Take her away and lock her up in the courtyard where the eldest lady lived. Let her live there until the end of her life. She is not allowed to leave the courtyard again."
Madam Wei looked at Wei Zhan and said, "You...you go and bring...my grandson back so I can see what he looks like..."
