Chapter 365, Freak
"What's wrong with Wanwan?" Zhong Youyan was panicked by her mysterious expression.
Although she didn't play much with Xia Wanwan, she heard a lot of weird rumors about Xia Wanwan from Liu Wan.
This little thing, a frown on the eyebrows, can make people's life and death unpredictable!
Old Master Qiao thought that the princess was unhappy, and hurriedly stepped forward and said,
"Zhishu, your daughter-in-law doesn't need to be so coquettish. How often does the princess come? It's okay to talk for a while."
Old Master Qiao is the father of Qiao Zhishu. He was originally an ordinary family doing business in Hezhou. He had business dealings with the Zhong family in Beijing, and the two children got to know each other because of this. Later, Magistrate Qiao
passed the imperial examination and was appointed as the governor of Hezhou. The Qiao family became rich and powerful in Hezhou.
Old Madam Qiao also stood up, looked Zhong Youling up and down, and then took her hand and said with a smile,
"It's okay to stand for a while. When our family had no money, I was still working in the fields when I was nine months pregnant."
"You are not as spoiled as you are now. You can't live a good life. You need to walk more when you are pregnant so that you can give birth quickly. Youling, don't be hypocritical. This princess has finally come."
Old Madam Qiao's seemingly caring words
made Zhong Youling feel quite wronged.
She nodded, "Husband, I can do it."
"Dad, Mom!" Zhishu Qiao wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhong Youling.
Back then, when Ling'er gave up everything to be with him, he had not yet achieved fame, and his parents took good care of Youling, and Youling did not mind that the Qiao family was not as rich as the Zhong family.
But after he became an official, the Qiao family's two elders' attitude towards Youling changed. They
always felt that she was just a business woman who eloped with a man without caring about her reputation,
and was not worthy of the official son of the Qiao family. In addition, Youling had not been pregnant for several years, and when she eloped, she did not bring any property.
The only thing was that Zhong's mother had sent a pot of expensive bell orchids a few years ago, but no matter how expensive a pot of flowers is, it is not considered a property. The
two elders of the Qiao family had more opinions about her.
They even secretly said that they wanted to take a concubine for their son, but Qiao Zhishu refused.
Fortunately, Youling is pregnant now, and the two elders have calmed down a little.
Qiao Zhishu and his wife attach great importance to their upcoming child.
Xia Wanwan tilted her head and blurted out, "Lao Deng..."
Everyone looked at her with confusion.
Zhong Youyan: "What Deng?"
Xia Wanwan's little head turned, and she showed her little milk teeth and said, "I said, when are we going to climb the mountain and blow up the tower? We can't always climb this mountain." It
was a close call, as she almost cursed.
After just a few words, Xia Wanwan knew that these two old people were not good people.
Grandpa Qiao and Grandma Qiao looked at each other, "What tower are you blowing up?"
"Dad and Mom, Princess Ximing came here this time to blow up the abandoned infant tower under the order of His Majesty. The court is ready to promulgate the law on protecting female infants. Once the law is promulgated, the abandoned infant tower cannot be left." When Secretary
Qiao said this, he had considered it in his heart.
Princess Ximing is still young, and she must not be allowed to bear such pressure. Otherwise, with the virtue of his own parents, who knows how they would embarrass a little girl.
He said it was the order of His Majesty, and no one dared to have any opinions.
The two elders of the Qiao family looked strange, and even their tone was a little cold.
"Don't just stand there. Please come into the mansion and have a seat, Princess." Mrs. Qiao said.
Several people entered the mansion.
"Where is Butler Qiao? Ask him to go to the kitchen and keep a close eye on it. The princess's diet... must not be wrong." Mr. Qiao thoughtfully instructed a servant.
The servant looked embarrassed, "Butler Qiao hasn't come back yet, I'll go find him now!"
After saying that, he ran out in a hurry.
Xia Wanwan was placed on the main seat by Zhong Youyan. Her big eyes blinked at Zhong Youling's belly.
"Wanwan, do you have anything to say?" Zhong Youyan asked.
"The emperor said I'm a lucky star, sister Zhong, do you want me to bless Mrs. Qiao's child?"
Xia Wanwan tilted her head with an innocent look.
There are too many people here.
She couldn't speak.
Zhong Youyan immediately understood and said to Zhong Youling, "Sister, Princess Ximing is loved by the gods. She is blessed. If she can bless your child, the child will be born safely!"
"That's great!"
Qiao Zhishu stood up hurriedly.
If the people of Hezhou don't know the reputation of Princess Ximing, he, as an official, must have heard of it.
When Princess Ximing opened the golden jade glass cup, the Great Xia Dynasty bestowed blessings, the snow disaster melted in an instant, and the people were able to live and work in peace.
She is a lucky doll favored by God.
If she can bless her own child and get a little bit of luck, it will be a great favor for them.
Zhong Youling was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.
"Princess, please follow me!"
She was pregnant and wanted to lead the way for Xia Wanwan.
But Qiao Zhishu held her back with his hand. Qiao Zhishu turned to the maid and said, "Help the lady back to her room. I invite Princess Ximing to come over."
The maid immediately helped Zhong Youling walk towards the courtyard.
Qiao Zhishu carefully led Xia Wanwan off the main seat, "Princess, be careful."
"You are the ones who should be careful!"
Xia Wanwan smiled, and when she passed by the Qiao family elders, she tilted her head and looked at them for a second.
Old Master Qiao smiled at her, "Princess and good adults, don't get lost!"
Xia Wanwan patted her chest, "It's okay if I get lost, it's you who are in trouble."
The Qiao family elders: ······
Are you threatening them?
Jingwu, Yuanbao and the other two followed, but were stopped by the Qiao family elders.
"Women's inner courtyard, please stay."
Old Lady Qiao's tone was quite polite. She knew that these people in front of her were definitely not idle people who could be sent out to protect the princess.
Yuanbao raised his voice, "They are two men. What does it have to do with a beautiful woman like me? Please make way!"
Old Lady Qiao hesitated for a moment, and finally let Yuanbao go. Zhong Youyan
said to Jing Wu and the others, "Don't worry, I will take you to the outer courtyard to wait for the princess. Nothing will happen."
"Thank you, Princess!" Jing Wu nodded.
He and Gu Ming followed Zhong Youyan.
After everyone left.
The smiles on the faces of the two elders of the Qiao family disappeared instantly.
"Grandpa, she can't really be a lucky doll, right?" Old Lady Qiao frowned deeply when she heard that Princess Ximing wanted to bless the fetus.
She was not happy at all.
If she really made the baby healthy, it would not be a good thing.
"What lucky star? Do you believe this? Even if she has some luck, can that luck really make a baby that is dead at birth healthy?"
Old Master Qiao's deep eyes revealed a vicious calculation.
"Princess Ximing is blessing her at the right time. If the baby is born dead, it will be the fault
of Princess Ximing!" This
