Chapter 385,
Premature Birth Xia Wanwan continued to laugh,
"This old minister, the old couple in front of you are crazy and want to help their grandson become the princess's husband."
"In order to pave the way for their grandson, they not only poisoned Lord Qiao's wife for many years, but also poisoned the fetus in Mrs. Qiao's belly. Mrs. Qiao may not survive tonight, and the eight-month-old baby in her belly will also die."
Duke Yan had not been here for long, and he should have inquired about the situation in the court before deciding to step in.
The poisoning was tried at the beginning, and he should not know it yet.
Sure enough.
Hearing this.
Duke Yan's face changed, and the look he looked at the two elders of the Qiao family became much colder.
"No, it's not to pave the way for Tianci, but the eloped daughter of the Zhong family is not worthy of Zhishu, so, that's why we..."
Old Master Qiao explained with a pale face, but he couldn't say too much, so he could only plead with Duke Yan, saying that everything he did was for Qiao Zhishu.
After all, if they poisoned Qiao Zhishu's offspring, Duke Yan would definitely not let them go.
"Do you have the final say on whether I am worthy or not? You have been extremely strict with me since I was young, repeatedly obstructing my studies, and even cutting off my source of income during the last imperial examination. Do you know how I passed the exam?"
"Ling'er, a daughter of the richest man, embroidered handkerchiefs stitch by stitch to earn money for my imperial examination, and her hands were full of needle holes. Now, I have lived up to her expectations and have embarked on an official career to marry her. But what about you?"
"You enjoy the fruits of her efforts, and the respect and reputation that the people of Hezhou have for you, but you think she is not worthy of me and want to poison her!"
"These words about worthy or not are all your excuses! You just want to kill my child and leave the Qiao family's property and power to Qiao Tianci!"
"In your eyes, I am finally an outsider of the Qiao family, hahaha."
"If it is true as Princess Ximing said, and Youling and her son get into trouble tonight, I, Qiao Zhishu, will sever all ties with the Qiao family and never have any contact with them again! In this way, you don't have to worry about my children coveting your property!"
Qiao Zhishu no longer has the demeanor of a young official.
At this moment, his mind is full of what Princess Ximing said, that his wife and children will not survive tonight.
If the couple really end up being separated forever, then what is the meaning of his life of struggle!
"Zhishu, it's not like that! We are really doing this for your own good!" Old Mrs. Qiao doesn't want to see the current situation either.
After all, even though Zhishu Qiao could not compete with his own son, he was still the official of Hezhou.
As long as Zhishu was still in the Qiao family, the Qiao family could always be prosperous and eventually cross the class to become a great family.
But Zhishu Qiao could not hear any explanation.
He took off the black gauze hat on his head and held it in front of the case.
Then he began to take off the outer robe that symbolized the official, and placed it in front of the black gauze hat with trembling hands.
Then.
Dong--he
kowtowed heavily to the fairness and integrity in the court, and burst into tears.
"I, Zhishu Qiao, have two crimes. One is that I can't protect the people, and the other is that I can't protect my wife. Therefore, after the matter is over, I am willing to resign from the post of official to comfort all those who have been harmed!"
After saying that.
He was left with only a snow-white middle coat, and suddenly stood up and ran out of the court.
Because he had a premonition:
You Ling!
You Ling must have had an accident!
Everyone was still shocked by his actions. As
a result, a servant ran in quickly from outside the door, and before he could catch his breath, he cried,
"Oh no, oh no, old man and old lady, the lady has severe abdominal pain, it seems that she is about to give birth, and the old lady said that the bleeding is difficult to stop, and she is in danger of death!!!"
After the words fell.
Zhong Youyan was struck by lightning, she looked at the two elders of the Qiao family, gritted her teeth and said fiercely,
"You poisoned my sister, if anything happens to her! You all have to die!" Ling Yu said
She pulled out the whip and whipped the old man and the old lady Qiao.
The whip went down, and the pain made the two elders stunned.
But Zhong Youyan in front of her had already taken a step and ran away quickly!
"Master Duke, look at her!" Grandpa Qiao complained, covering his arm.
But he was scared back by the cold eyes of Duke Yan.
"If anything happens to this child, you two..." Duke Yan didn't say the last three words.
But his lip reading made Master Qiao see it clearly.
The last three words of Duke Yan meant that they all must die!
His whole body went limp, and he sat paralyzed on the ground again.
Duke Yan strode to Xia Wanwan and said, "Princess Ximing, please order them to be taken to the Qiao Mansion together."
Is the battlefield going to be moved?
Xia Wanwan blinked. It seems that Duke Yan is still very worried about this child.
She nodded, ignoring the hand that Duke Yan was about to help her, and stretched out her hand to Xia Qianhui, "Big Brother, Big Brother."
Xia Qianhui immediately picked her up.
"Let's go!"
The group headed towards the Qiao Mansion.
Xia Siheng, who was about to appear on the roof to help his daughter, narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Not good." He said.
Liu Wan's face was also solemn, "Wanwan has blessed the child. Old Master Qiao will definitely not miss this opportunity and push the evil consequences of Zhong Youling's death to Wanwan."
In this way, Wanwan will be speechless and will become the target of public criticism.
And the two elders of the Qiao family will turn over again.
"Well, we are in sync and think alike. Don't worry, Madam. Wanwan is not an ordinary child."
Xia Siheng patted her back and flew up with her in his arms.
"Husband, let's go and take a look first. If it really comes to the last resort, we will show up to help our daughter." Liu Wan said.
"Okay."
In the late-night teahouse next to the government gate.
Captain Xiao came over to report to Zimu and Zixing what had just happened inside.
Liu Zixing picked up his sword and stood up, "Brother, Duke Yan is here, what should we do? Otherwise, we can break in and cooperate with the eldest brother to stab the two old thieves of the Qiao family to death!!"
"Don't be impulsive." Liu Zimu frowned slightly, and then said, "Things are not simple!"
"Sister has blessed Madam Qiao. Now the child can't be saved. The two elders of the Qiao family will definitely make a big fuss, saying that sister killed the fetus."
In this way, sister will not only be targeted by Duke Yan and others, but this matter may also be reported to the capital.
Sister's reputation and everything she did tonight will be ruined.
Master Qiao is the one who has the most ulterior motives, and everyone knows it!
"What can we do?" Liu Zixing looked worried.
"If I were Master Qiao, I would definitely publicize the princess' blessing for this situation, and lay a foundation in advance in the hearts of the people, and create a good reputation for the princess' kindness and benevolence."
"But once the dead end is decided tonight, the better my sister's reputation was before, the more she will be backfired."
Liu Zimu tapped the teacup with his fingertips, thought carefully, and deduced Master Qiao's purpose.
"Brother, can we only sit and wait for death?" Liu Zixing said anxiously.
