Pei Jian saw her open her eyes, and quickly pulled her up, holding her in his arms to comfort her, "Pei Kangsheng's concubine had a miscarriage, and now the East Courtyard is in great turmoil."
"Ah?" Tu Qingyu opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Why did you have a miscarriage when everything was fine?"
After a pause, she asked in surprise: "Xu Ying?"
While Pei Jian was dressing her, he said, "The people down there found out this: She also gave those things to Qiuhong."
Qiuhong was born a maid and had never seen these good things. From the beginning, she didn't believe that this grandmother would harm her child right after she got married.
So there is no taboo in using those things.
Those things were huge in quantity, and whenever Xu Ying got upset in the main courtyard, she would go back and give Qiuhong a hard time.
However, in just a dozen days, Qiuhong's body could no longer bear it.
This time, Pei Kangsheng did not go home at night, so Xu Ying asked Qiuhong to kneel down and keep watch for her.
Qiuhong naturally refused, but there were many very strong maids among Xu Ying's dowry.
They beat the woman first, then forced her to kneel, and she had a miscarriage within an hour.
Pei Kangsheng came back in the morning and Qiuhong had recovered. The whole East Courtyard was in an uproar.
"Tsk tsk tsk." Although Tu Qingyu already knew it, he was still amazed at the excitement.
She quickly packed up, had her lunch, and walked towards the east courtyard in high spirits.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, I heard sobbing.
"Master... wuwuwu... It's all my fault... I'm incompetent and couldn't protect our child... This, this is Master's first child. I'm useless... Master... Qiuhong, Qiuhong is suffering..."
The crying was so mournful that it made anyone who heard it sad and heard it shed tears.
They walked in together, and the people in the courtyard bowed and said, "Greetings, my lord, and my lady."
"What's going on?" Tu Qingyu frowned as he smelled the bloody smell in the room. His eyes immediately fell on Xu Ying who was standing beside him. "My dear wife, tell me, what happened here?"
Xu Ying's hands hidden under her sleeves were still shaking. Before Tu Qingyu and the others arrived, she had tried her best to refute them.
She was too careless. She shouldn't have let that bastard keep watch yesterday.
After fooling around today, I must divert Pei Kangsheng's attention to Tu Qingyu.
Her eyes were red and her face was full of panic. "This, my daughter-in-law doesn't know. Yesterday, she was so rude and dared to insult my daughter-in-law. I made her kneel for half an hour. Who would have thought, who would have thought that her body was so weak? I..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Qiuhong interrupted her before she could finish her words.
Qiuhong has changed from her previous cowardice, and now her eyes are full of hatred towards Xu Ying.
"How could I dare insult you? Besides, it wasn't just half an hour. It was clearly you who wanted me to kneel and keep vigil. I was thinking, you're pregnant with my father's child. What if something happened to the child..."
I refused, so Grandma had people beat me first, and then forced me to kneel for more than an hour." Her hands tightly grasped Pei Kangsheng's collar, "Madam, Master... Master, what did Qiuhong do wrong to make Grandma hate me so much that she calls me here every day to torture me.
Yes, I, I am a concubine, and there are many things that a slave should do, but my crime really does not deserve the death penalty, sir!
Madam, you have to make the decision for me!"
Xu Ying certainly wouldn't admit that she was being unreasonable. "What are you talking about? Ask around the yard, when have I ever tortured you? I didn't expect you to be so weak. You lost the child just by kneeling for a moment. You're so useless, and you still want to blame me?"
"Shut up!" Pei Kangsheng felt the person in his arms trembling, turned around and scolded Xu Ying.
Xu Ying was stunned for a moment before she started to rant, "Great, it's really great, I married you and didn't enjoy anything at all, it was all just bad things.
Not only am I pregnant before I even get married, but I also have to follow the rules every day. My body has never been good since I got married.
Why did I become like this?
Pei Kangsheng, do you still have a conscience? Huh? "
"I don't have a heart?" If he wasn't holding someone in his arms, Pei Kangsheng would have wanted to stand up and hit someone, "You vicious woman, you killed my first child, and you say I don't have a heart?"
Tu Qingyu just watched them arguing. Pei Jian was afraid that she was tired of standing, so he asked someone to bring a chair.
The two of them sat and watched them quarreling fiercely. Pei Kangsheng and Xu Ying were both shaking with anger, and they cursed each other with all kinds of bad words.
Qiuhong fanned the flames, calling him the uncle's first child and the uncle's first bloodline.
All three of them had their own grievances, immersed in their own world, and the words they said were like stabbing into each other's lungs.
They were arguing and almost got into a fight, but were stopped by Yanshan.
If Tu Qingyu didn't like to watch the fun, Pei Jian really wouldn't be able to listen for a moment.
The quarrel ended with Pei Kangsheng standing up and pushing Xu Ying. Xu Ying was not paying attention and hit her waist on the corner of the table, causing her to scream.
Pei Jian then spoke calmly, "Have you had enough of the commotion?"
The room immediately quieted down. Pei Kangsheng raised his hand and bowed, "Father, I am sorry for making you worry."
"You are indeed." Pei Jian didn't give him any face. "Cultivate yourself and manage your family. You can't even handle such a small matter."
He looked at the attendant beside him and ordered calmly, "Go check."
"yes."
The people around Pei Jian knew what was going on. After being out for only half a minute, they had found out everything.
When Xu Ying looked at the cloth and jewelry that were brought in, her face changed from anger and pain to fear and anxiety.
"This is..." Pei Kangsheng was stunned. He didn't understand what the people around his father meant by taking out the things that Qiuhong usually wore.
But when he turned around and looked at Xu Ying's reaction, he seemed to understand a little.
"Sir, I have checked it out."
"explain."
"All of these jewelry pieces have been soaked in a potion called Black Scale Powder. Even a small amount can kill instantly. Anything soaked in this potion will naturally become highly toxic. Prolonged contact will make people weak and sickly. Those who are unable to conceive will find it difficult to do so, and those who are able to conceive..."
He paused, "Of course, she will miscarry soon."
"This, this is..." Qiuhong spoke at this time, her chest heaving violently, "These are all the rewards from Grandma after I served her tea..."
Her tears fell like money, "In order to express my gratitude to my great-grandmother, I, I wear them every day... It turns out that these are things that can only take my life..."
"Master." She looked at Pei Kangsheng, "Our child...our child died so tragically. He hasn't even come to this world to see him, Master!"
