Seeing Eleventh Lady silent, Grandma Luo was also a little sad, and comforted her, "There is nothing we can do about it. The servant of the Ren family confessed everything, and there is solid evidence. In addition, Princess Changning is behind the scenes fanning the flames. Even if the governor of Shuntian Prefecture knew who killed the person, he would not be able to convict him!"

She was a lawyer in her previous life, so she knew all the ins and outs of this! However, knowing is one thing, understanding is another, and accepting is another. This is why she chose to be a lawyer specializing in divorce cases, and why people became more and more silent as she made more money.

After all, Wang Lang was the son-in-law of the Luo family, and Grandma Luo didn't want to talk about these things. She asked Shiyi Niang: "What's wrong with you?"

Some things cannot be thought about too deeply.

Eleventh Lady didn't want to talk about this matter any more.

"Nothing." She said lightly, "I just feel a little uncomfortable. Doctor Liu came to see me and said I caught a cold. He told me to take some medicine and rest for a few days." Then she changed the subject without leaving any trace, "Sister-in-law, you came here, but is there anything you want to discuss with me?"

Grandma Luo was obviously more concerned about Shiyi Niang's health. She skipped Shiyi Niang's question and continued the previous conversation: "Then do you feel better? Since you are sick, you didn't send someone to tell me. I still have two fifty-year-old Adenophora. I will have someone send them to you when I get back."

"It's just a little cold wind." Eleventh Lady declined repeatedly and brought up the previous conversation: "Why did Sister-in-law think of coming to sit with me?"

Grandma Luo had decided to spread the news of Eleventh Lady's illness as soon as she got home, so she didn't dwell on it. She said bluntly, "Each family has its own rules for the three sacrificial animals and gifts for the Tenth Aunt's funeral. Your eldest brother's idea is that apart from these, we will give each family an extra thirty taels of silver, which will not be included in the gift list, but will be given to the Tenth Aunt separately. As for the Fifth Aunt's share, your eldest brother will pay for it - she will soon be one month old, and there are many places where the silver will be needed."

"I'll listen to my elder brother and sister-in-law." Since she knew that Luo Zhenxing paid for Wu Niang's share, Shiyi Niang was embarrassed to ask them to pay for it all, "I'll help pay for half!"

"I'm not here to pry open your cash box." Grandma Luo said with a smile, "When you become the head of the family, even if you don't tell me, I will ask for this share too."

Eleventh Lady laughed.

A little maidservant reported: "Madam, the Marquis is back!"

Grandma Luo said, "Eight or nine times out of ten, it's the Wang family's messenger who has arrived to announce the death, so the Marquis came in specially to tell you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Lingyi walked in with a bright look on his face.

When he saw Grandma Luo, he was very polite: "Grandma is here!"

For a moment, he was unsure whether Grandma Luo came to visit the sick or to discuss Wang Lang's matter with Shiyi Niang. He looked at Shiyi Niang again and felt that she looked a little unhappy. He was even more unsure whether she was tired because she didn't sleep well yesterday or because she knew about Wang Lang's matter.

Eleventh Lady was pretending to be sick and could not get out of bed to greet him. She just said hello, "The Marquis is back!" and ordered the maid to bring the armchair over and serve tea to Xu Lingyi.

Grandma Luo stepped forward, bowed, and explained her purpose: "Duke Mao has come to Gongxian Hutong to report the death. I came here specifically to discuss with Eleventh Aunt, so that we could pick a time to go see Tenth Aunt together. But who knew that Auntie was ill. What a coincidence!"

This means that Eleventh Lady already knows.

"I came in for this matter as well." Xu Lingyi looked at Shiyi Niang with some concern, "I just received the news of the death of the Wang family. I was just about to discuss with Zhenxing what to do."

Grandma Luo said modestly, "The roads are ten miles apart, and the customs are different. Moreover, Yuhang and Yanjing are thousands of miles apart. Please help us make a decision, Lord. I'll go back and tell my husband."

The two of them then agreed to go to Wang's house together to pay homage at noon tomorrow.

When Grandma Luo saw that everything had been explained clearly, she stood up and said goodbye.

Xu Lingyi sat down beside Shiyi Niang's bed and said, "Don't worry. I can't interfere with Wang Lang's official affairs. But I will take care of Shiyi Niang's affairs!"

"Man proposes, God disposes!" Compared to the mess in the Wang family, Eleventh Lady was more worried about the safety of the Xu family, "My Lord, don't force it."

Just as he was getting ready to get dressed and get up, Wei Zi from the Madam's side came over and said, "My Lord, the Madam has invited you to have dinner in the Fifth Madam's room, and asked you to have dinner in your room as well."

Counting the days, the Fifth Lady’s period is almost approaching.

Eleventh Lady said, "But there is some movement from the Fifth Madam's side!"

Wei Zi laughed and said, "You can't hide it from the Fourth Madam. There's movement from the Fifth Madam!"

Eleventh Lady hurriedly called Amber and said, "Go to Fifth Madam and report to me if there is any news. Also, tell Fifth Madam that I am ill and cannot visit her. Please forgive me."

Amber agreed and went out with Wei Zi.

At 3:15 am the next morning, the Fifth Lady finally gave birth to a baby girl.

Eleventh Lady breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

In ancient times, when a woman gave birth, she was on the verge of death.

After a while, Xu Lingyi came back.

After dinner, he went to Xu Lingkuan, and the two of them waited for news in the study.

"That little girl is really pretty. Her eyes and nose are like my fifth brother's wife, but her hair and mouth are like my fifth brother's." Xu Lingyi was very happy. "My great-grandfather was a single-line family, and my grandfather was also a single-line family. When it came to my father, he only had one daughter, the Empress. In our generation, we finally have two daughters."

"Fifth brother's wife gave birth smoothly, you can sleep peacefully now." Eleventh Lady smiled and stepped forward to help him change clothes, "We have to go to the Wang family to pay our respects tomorrow morning."

Seeing that she was only wearing a thin moon-white jacket, Xu Lingyi dragged her into the quilt and said, "Be careful not to catch a cold." He called Luyun, who was on duty, to help her wash up. When he returned to the **, he saw that Shiyi Niang had already bent over and lay down. Under the light, her black hair was piled on the apricot-yellow pillow. Her calm expression made her face look as quiet as pear blossoms, and her gentle eyes made her eyes look as gentle as spring water. She was obviously quiet and natural, but she had an indescribable charm.

He lay down calmly and held her in his arms.

The cold air brought in by his body made Shiyi Niang shiver a little, but his warm chest quickly warmed her up.

She had been thinking about the news from the Fifth Madam and was already feeling sleepy.

Eleventh Lady adjusted her posture, tilted her head and closed her eyes.

In a daze, she felt Xu Lingyi's kiss.

Eleventh Lady immediately lost all desire to sleep.

"My Lord..."

"Yeah!" He responded lazily and softly, his hot breath blowing on her neck, "Are you well?"

Eleventh Lady was very embarrassed.

Yesterday I said I was sick, so he used that as an excuse to tease me severely.

"It's okay..." Eleventh Lady moved her body uneasily.

They've been living in peace for a long time. Although yesterday... they've never had two days in a row...

She turned over and lay on her stomach, burying her face in the pillow.

Xu Lingyi looked at him and laughed softly.

When Eleventh Lady feels shy, she covers her face, which is a bit like trying to cover up one's own faults.

This kind of Eleventh Lady has a unique beauty.

Xu Lingyi took advantage of the situation and covered her...

Eleventh Lady's face was as bright as the morning glow, and she called out in a tender voice, "Xu Lingyi!"

"Um!"

"Xu Lingyi!"

"Um!"

Those three syllables were like a spell, making her like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon, flapping its dazzlingly colorful wings and flying freely among the woods filled with the fragrance of chestnut flowers.

It was as if there was a mellow voice whispering in her ear, smiling and sighing: "You are such a little spoiled child!"

Ranked first in monthly tickets last month, thank you all for your support!

O(∩_∩)O~

Please forgive my belated thanks. Zhizhi has encountered a very blunder - last year's Pink Tickets Overall Ranking was announced to be mine, but a few days later it was announced that it was wrong!

⊙﹏⊙bSweat!

The same thing happened to the pink monthly ticket once, and they said that there were still some tickets that were not displayed in the background.

Sweat again!

At that time, I was glad that I didn’t go online often. If I had written a thank-you letter and posted it, I would have been so angry that I would have to crawl into the ground.

New Year’s Day is coming soon, and I don’t know whether Qidian will still carry out the activity of doubling the pink tickets at the end of the month.

Sisters who have votes please vote at the end of the month~~~~(_
