Fan Meiniang was bringing Tremella soup to honor Old Madam Lu. As soon as she reached the door, she heard what Zhao Ma said. She was so scared that her hands shook and she almost knocked the plate to the ground.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and steadied the tray in her hand. She took a long breath, turned around and left.
After returning to Nianmei Pavilion, Fan Meiniang paced around the room feeling uneasy.
"Why hasn't Zhenzhu come back yet? I wonder if the doctor is dead?" She wanted to go out, but she couldn't sneak out in broad daylight.
Suddenly, she thought of a way and hurried to the kitchen. She rummaged around in the kitchen and put some things in her arms. Then she carried the bird's nest that had just come out of the pot and ran to the old lady's Baomotang.
In Baomo Hall.
Madam Lu rubbed her brows with a headache: "Although Fan Mei Niang's behavior is not up to standard, she doesn't have the guts to fake a pregnancy."
Gu Yunran snorted. The old lady was also confused. Fan Meiniang was much braver than she thought.
However, she was too lazy to expose it now. When the doctor came, Mrs. Lu would naturally know about it, and then there would be something interesting to watch.
She casually placed an account book in front of the old lady, "Mother-in-law..."
Madam Lu glanced at him without even raising her eyelids and asked in a cold voice, "Yun Ran, what do you mean by this?"
"Mother-in-law, these are the things that the Fourth Master smashed into pieces in my yard yesterday..."
Before Gu Yunran could finish her words, Madam Lu's expression darkened. "It was just a quarrel between husband and wife, and some things were broken. Why are you making such a fuss about it?"
"I didn't record the things that Fourth Master threw at me. The things in this account book are all the things my mother gave me a few days ago."
"So what? What your mother gave you belongs to our Lu family. If it's broken, it's broken. Do you want me to compensate you?" Old Madam Lu looked unhappy.
Gu Yunran said indifferently, "My mother gave me a large dowry when I got married. I absolutely cannot accept the things she sent over two days ago. I had planned to send them back these two days, and I had Chen Mo send a letter to the Gu Mansion yesterday morning, saying that I would return the things tomorrow. Now that the Fourth Master has destroyed them, how can I return them?"
Madam Lu: "If the things are gone, then I won't give them to you."
"Okay then, I'll write back to my mother and tell her that the old lady isn't willing to give it to me." Gu Yunran stood up and walked out.
"Stop! Come back here!" Madam Lu gnashed her teeth in anger. "Gu Yunran, how could you say that?"
Is she shameless?
"Mother-in-law, is there something wrong with what I said?"
Madam Lu was so angry that her chest heaved and she didn't say a word.
Gu Yunran: "Bamboo leaves, peach blossoms, put up a banner and say that my mother-in-law doesn't want me to return the things to my mother, and that I'm an unfilial daughter and I have to go back and apologize to them."
"Yes, the servants will do it right away."
The two girls answered in unison and walked out.
"Everyone, come back!" Madam Lu roared, turning to Madam Zhao and saying, "Go to my private vault and see if I have anything valuable. Give it to her."
"yes."
Nanny Zhao was also an honest person, and she took out almost all of the old lady's hidden treasures.
Gu Yunran left with a smile on her face. Seeing that Mrs. Lu looked unhappy, Qiuju quickly stood up and said goodbye. However, she had just walked out of the door.
A figure bumped into them.
"ah!"
“Ouch!”
Screams echoed throughout the yard.
"Aunt Xia, Aunt Fan."
The maids in the yard were frightened. Some of them went to help Qiuju, and some went to help Fan Meiniang.
Hearing the sound, Gu Yunran paused. When she looked back, she saw that both of them were lying on the ground. She said to Taohua, "Go and help Aunt Xia up."
"yes."
Hearing the screams outside, Madam Lu's heart skipped a beat and she hurriedly ran out with the support of Nanny Zhao.
"What's going on?"
Qiuju's face turned pale, she held her stomach with her hands, looking painful, and she didn't even want to speak.
Fan Meiniang was lying on the ground, holding her stomach and wailing in pain. There was a pool of red blood under her.
"Ouch, my stomach hurts."
Gu Yunran watched her perform diligently, turned away indifferently, and said to Madam Lu, "Mother-in-law, it's urgent to find a doctor now."
Old Madam Lu's eyebrows were twitching, and she ordered someone to find a doctor immediately.
"Go get a doctor, quickly!"
"Let Taohua go. She has strong legs and can walk fast."
"good."
Xiangcao and Aicao helped Qiuju back to Juxiangyuan, and Gu Yunran followed.
Only then did Mrs. Lu notice the pool of blood under Fan Meiniang. She was shocked and asked, "Did you have a miscarriage?"
Fan Meiniang bit her lip and sobbed, "Mother-in-law, it hurts, please save me."
"What are you yelling about? I'm already worried enough." Madam Lu rubbed her brows. "I'm not a doctor, how can I save you?"
"Wait for the doctor to come."
She then instructed the maids around her: "You stay here and serve your aunt."
The two second-class maids nodded and replied, "Yes, old lady."
Madam Lu turned and went back into the house, muttering softly, "It's really unlucky to have such a pool of blood in my yard."
She said to Madam Zhao, "Tomorrow you go to Sanqing Temple and invite that expert to come and get rid of the evil spirit."
"It's saved for me."
Once inside, Nanny Zhao closed the door. Old Madam Lu lay on the couch, closed her eyes, and said, "It's better if she has a miscarriage. It saves me from having to do it."
The eldest son can only be the child in Qiuju's belly, not her Fan Meiniang's. No one can block the Lu family's path to success.
Madam Zhao lowered her brows and said humbly, "Yes, I think so too."
"It's just that this old servant feels that what happened today is strange."
