Chapter 180 The Male Protagonist's Excellent Mother (Sixty-Seven)
Duke Cheng'en resigned and Han Chong was dismissed from his post.
The Han family was pushed to the center of the storm.
The Xiao family, as well as those noble families and aristocratic families took the opportunity to make a move.
Officials from the Han family were brought down one after another.
In less than a month, the situation in the court changed.
The positions vacated by the Han family's followers were successively occupied by the saint and the other two forces.
The "Han Half Dynasty" has completely become history.
The Han family did not collapse completely, but it was seriously damaged.
The stepmother died of illness, and the Duke's wife retreated to the small Buddhist temple in the backyard and completely lost her voice.
Queen Dowager Han looked ten years older, but she still had to continue to perform the drama of loving mother and filial piety with the saint.
The saint overthrew his own uncle and did not kill him all.
In order to show his filial piety to the Queen Mother and his respect for his family, he granted Han Chong a marriage.
The newly widowed Princess Anyang.
This Princess Anyang is actually Han Chong's cheap cousin.
However, when the powerful and wealthy marry, they do not attach much importance to certain generations.
It is not uncommon for aunts and nieces to share the same husband.
What's more, she was a cousin's daughter? Princess Yongcheng, the mother of Princess Anyang, was born to a cousin of the same clan whom the Queen Mother used to consolidate her favor, but the rank of that Han Cairen was not high.
Moreover, a few years after giving birth to Princess Yongcheng, Han Cairen died of illness.
Queen Mother Han raised Princess Yongcheng by her side for the sake of their common clan.
As a concubine and adopted daughter, Queen Mother Han was quite kind to Princess Yongcheng.
After she came of age, the Queen Mother married Princess Yongcheng to the eldest son of the Duke of Fuguo, who was a great hero in the founding of the country.
Unfortunately, Princess Yongcheng also died young. She died early after giving birth to a daughter.
Queen Mother Han felt pity for the girl, and as the Duke of Fuguo was needed to govern Liaodong at that time, she conferred the title of Princess Anyang on the girl.
To some extent, Princess Anyang is similar to Han Jiaojiao, Princess Nanping.
Although she is not of royal blood, she has been honored as a princess.
However, Anyang is much tougher than Han Jiaojiao.
The reason why she became a widow was because the prince cheated on her.
She beat the little bitch to death and fed her cheap husband a bowl of medicine.
The Duke of Junma died of illness, and Anyang became a bachelor again.
The saint somehow thought of her.
With an imperial decree, Princess Anyang married her cousin.
Han Chong: ...There is a word "MMP", but I don't know whether I should say it or not!
Princess Anyang: ...There is a word "MMP", but I don't know whether I should say it or not.
Neither of them was willing, but neither dared to disobey the imperial edict.
They also look down on each other.
Han Chong thought Anyang was domineering and cruel; Anyang thought Han Chong was an old man who had been married for the third time and was very stupid! Thus, a pair of resentful couples were born.
However, although Anyang despises others, he is very concerned about his reputation.
Even if her husband thinks she is dirty and stupid, he cannot let other little bitches get away with it.
And that virtuous concubine Wu, ha, what a joke, a lowly maid actually dares to pretend to be a "virtuous person".
The next day after Anyang entered the house, he dragged Aunt Wu over and beat her up without even bothering to find an excuse.
Han Chong wanted to come and settle the score with Anyang, but Lord Cheng'en scolded him harshly.
Looking at his old father's tired and sad appearance, Han Chong finally realized that the current Han family is not the same Han family as before.
He no longer has the capital to "make trouble".
If you dare to "anger to death" a princess's wife again, you will be seeking your own death.
The sage's decision to marry the notorious Princess Anyang to Han Chong might have been intentional.
Fishing, this is proper fishing.
Han Chong became weak, Aunt Wu suffered a tragedy, and even Han Mingzhu, who had just got married, suffered a lot of grievances in both her parents' and her husband's families.
Han Jiaojiao doesn't care about anything going on in the Han family.
However, the "downfall" of the Han family is indeed related to Han Jiaojiao.
Han Jiaojiao still went to the palace, wiping away tears and pleading for the Han family.
At Queen Mother Han's place, Han Jiaojiao also hugged her and cried together for a long time.
Queen Mother Han was originally a little angry with Han Jiaojiao, but after thinking about it carefully, she decided that it was not Han Jiaojiao's fault.
The stepmother was vicious and stupid, and she did the ridiculous thing of stabbing a voodoo doll.
The person who revealed this matter was not Han Jiaojiao, but the Xiao family.
...Alas, I can only say that the Han family married the wrong wife, which brought disaster to the entire family.
"It's all Han Chong's fault. If he hadn't acted so foolishly and had been nice to Yongjia, how could there be such a disaster today?"
Queen Mother Han seemed to suddenly remember Han Chong's mistake, and suddenly felt sorry for her adopted daughter.
Then, she promoted Han Chong's half-brother Han Liang.
Han Chong was horrified to see that his aunt, who had always doted on him, was now angry with him. He no longer had the confidence to do what he wanted.
When facing Princess Anyang, he no longer dared to be "proud", but began to coax and serve her carefully -
I can't rely on my aunt, but fortunately Princess Anyang's family is from the Fuguogong Mansion, which holds the military power in Liaodong!
Relying on Anyang and the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, he should be able to keep his position as the eldest son of the Duke of Cheng'en's Mansion.
As a result, Han Chong became the person he once hated the most - an old gigolo who lived off his wife and a loser who depended on his wife's family.
…
The Han family’s drama slowly came to an end half a year later.
At this time, Han Jiaojiao was about to give birth.
"Don't worry, Jiaojiao. Mother has found the best midwife. She will definitely not let anything happen to you."
Gu Qingcheng took Han Jiaojiao's hand and said seriously.
"Well, I believe in you!"
Han Jiaojiao was also afraid.
In the capital, she had heard of women who died in childbirth.
I have also heard that when a baby is difficult to deliver, there will be the very bad in-laws who would rather "save the child that is smaller than the older one".
However, when her eyes met Gu Qingcheng's beautiful eyes, her panicked heart slowly calmed down.
No! My mother will not ignore me! Even if there is a dilemma of choosing between the two, my mother will choose me.
That morning, when Han Jiaojiao got up, she found that there was a wet area between her legs.
My water broke!
The maids and old women were shouting and yelling, and Gu Qingcheng was startled.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
She pretended to be flustered and looked dazed and at a loss as to what to do.
The servants trained by Zhao Qingyun are more reliable——
The old women first cleaned up the delivery room and then carried Han Jiaojiao over.
Boiling water, hiring a midwife, and even a wet nurse, the versatile and thoughtful Zhao Qingyun had prepared everything in advance.
Although Zhao Qingyun was not at home, Gu Qingcheng, the "Taiyi" who had obtained the fifth-rank imperial edict thanks to her son, was thrown into disarray, but she had reliable servants.
The backyard of the Zhuangyuan Mansion is busy but not messy.
"Oh no! The fetus is too big and is stuck in the birth canal!"
By noon, Han Jiaojiao had not given birth yet, and she was almost exhausted.
Consciousness also began to blur.
In a trance, she heard Nanny Zhou's pleading voice, "Save the princess, you must save the princess."
You can have children again in the future.
If the princess is gone, then there will be nothing left! As an old lady who had served Princess Yongjia for several years, Nanny Zhou had already regarded this poor child as her own flesh and blood.
Seeing that she was having a difficult delivery, Nanny Zhou felt both distressed and worried.
She was afraid that the Zhao family was too confused and only cared about their grandson but ignored their daughter-in-law's life.
What do you mean by close as mother and daughter? Until the birth, you will never know the true face of the in-laws! "I have a way to save both mother and child."
The midwife that Gu Qingcheng found specially pretended to be brave and said something.
"What method? Tell me quickly!" Nanny Zhou asked anxiously before Gu Qingcheng could answer.
“That’s right…”
The midwife hesitated, her method was too horrifying.
Not to mention these noble ladies, even ordinary people would not agree.
"What is it? Tell me now!"
Nanny Zhou was so anxious that she wanted to hit someone.
Seeing this, the midwife didn't dare to hesitate any longer and gestured directly, "You can use scissors to cut 'that', and then--"
Nanny Zhou's face turned dark.
She subconsciously looked at Gu Qingcheng.
That place is too private, and we are usually too embarrassed to talk about it.
But now I have to use scissors there.
As a mother-in-law or husband, can they agree? Gu Qingcheng nodded directly, "Okay! As long as the mother and child are safe, anything is fine."
Nanny Zhou was so moved that tears rolled down her cheeks.
But she still reminded him with difficulty, "If you are too pleasant, you will be laughed at."
This is not a good thing. If people knew about it, it would become a topic of conversation among the people.
"Haven't I made enough jokes?"
Gu Qingcheng was like a person who had given up everything and said this with confidence.
Aunt Zhou: ...Although I feel weird, I am still very touched.
Han Jiaojiao burst into tears. She knew that her mother would not care about worldly things or fame.
Han Jiaojiao was really satisfied that her mother-in-law could treat her like this at the critical moment of life and death.
What made her even more satisfied was yet to come. Zhao Qingyun, who had hurried back after taking a leave after receiving the news, also said firmly, "Mother is right, just save people!"
As for rumors, Zhao Qingyun didn't care at all.
Han Jiaojiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she seemed to no longer be able to feel the extreme pain.
She gritted her teeth, tried her best, and then——
"Wow~~"
A loud baby cry echoed throughout the Zhuangyuan Mansion.
"Young Master, it weighs seven and a half catties!"
Sixteen taels equals one jin, so a baby weighing nearly eight jin looks a lot bigger than a normal-sized baby.
Seeing such a big child, Aunt Zhou was both happy and scared.
Fortunately, the Zhao family’s mother and son were understanding and agreed to let the midwife “do whatever she wants”, otherwise, their princess would definitely not be able to give birth to such a big child.
If you don't handle it properly, it will result in two deaths.
Han Jiaojiao's delivery this time was definitely safe and sound.
Afterwards, Nanny Zhou, still frightened, said to Han Jiaojiao, "Princess, let's not have any more children in the future."
Having a boy is a relief to the Zhao family.
From now on, the princess should not take any more risks.
Han Jiaojiao, who fainted from exhaustion and then woke up again, did not look at all like she was in excruciating pain during childbirth.
She even eagerly discussed with Gu Qingcheng, "Mother, I want to have another daughter, and it would be best if she looks like you!"
Even if I can't be as beautiful as my mother-in-law, I still want to be like my husband.
Oh, when she thought of having a soft and sweet little girl, Han Jiaojiao wanted to pull Zhao Qingyun into the room immediately...
PS: It’s almost the end, please give me a monthly ticket!
