Chapter 141 Dong Dong is pregnant
As soon as they arrived in Xing County, Nangong Jin separated from Xu Miaomiao and went to distribute the supplies.
Xu Miaomiao was also not idle, but was observing the reasons for the grain damage in Xing County.
According to Nangong Jin, the grain was damaged because pests ate it. Xu Miaomiao looked at the yellowing crops and walked to the side to dig up the soil, and found that it was indeed the case.
The roots and stems of the crops were all filled with insects, and many of them were still buried in the soil. Xu Miaomiao first took out some insect repellent and placed them in front of the insects, but the insects showed no fear at all.
Just when Xu Miaomiao was puzzled, she saw a pitcher plant planted next to the soil, but the area around the pitcher plant was not invaded by any insects.
Xu Miaomiao crushed the pitcher plant and let the juice drip into the soil. Sure enough, the insects curled up in fear and moved around the pitcher plant.
I thought it would be a difficult task, but it was solved so quickly. Xu Miaomiao stood up happily and clapped her hands. Now it seems that as long as she planted more pitcher plants, there wouldn't be so many insects.
After making the discovery, Xu Miaomiao immediately handed the thing to Nangong Jin.
"Oh?" Nangong Jin raised his eyebrows as he looked at the small pitcher plant: "According to you, as long as we plant the pitcher plant well, we can avoid this insect disaster?"
"Yes." Xu Miaomiao nodded. She had already tried it.
"Madam Xu is really smart. She solved the root cause and the disaster has collapsed on its own." Nangong Jin looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "I must tell the emperor about your contribution."
Xu Miaomiao bowed slightly and said, "That's not necessary. Now that it's resolved, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao was about to turn around and leave.
I suddenly felt a warm sensation on my arm. When I turned around, I saw Nangong Jin holding Xu Miaomiao's arm.
Nangong Jin, who had reacted, also felt that something was wrong, and quickly let go of her hand: "Madam Xu, you are tired from the journey, why don't you take a day off before returning."
Xu Miaomiao chuckled: "No need, the children at home are waiting to go back early."
Hearing this, Nangong Jin could only lower his eyes and say, "Okay, be careful on your way."
"Goodbye."
Xu Miaomiao walked again, turned and left.
The carriage slowly drove into the village. Everyone hadn't seen Xu Miaomiao for a long time, so they came forward to greet her enthusiastically, and Xu Miaomiao responded patiently.
"Miao Miao is back." Gu Yuanniang coaxed Ling'er in the courtyard and looked at the figure on the carriage and said, "Erbao and Xiaobao will definitely be happy to see you when they come back."
Xu Miaomiao parked the carriage, looked at Ling'er who was learning to walk in the yard, and picked her up: "Little Ling'er, why does it feel heavier when I hold her?"
Ling'er looked at Xu Miaomiao with a smile, and finally uttered two words slowly: "Godmother."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao was also amused and laughed.
"By the way, Dongdong is pregnant. I have asked someone to ask you to go over and check her pulse." Gu Yuan's mother spoke intermittently.
Xu Miaomiao nodded, looked at the sky outside and said, "It's still early, so that person can go first and pick up Erbao and Xiaobao."
"Okay." Gu Yuanniang responded.
When they arrived at Mr. Cui's mansion, a maid immediately came forward to welcome Xu Miaomiao.
When Xu Miaomiao saw Dongdong, she was sitting in the house, covered with fox fur and holding a heater in her hands. It seemed that Mr. Cui treated her well.
"Sister Xu is here, please sit down." Dongdong said as soon as he saw Xu Miaomiao.
"It seems that Mr. Cui treats you well." Xu Miaomiao teased.
"Alas." Dong Dong sighed and said, "What's good about it? There are still one or two people taking in concubines. Fortunately, I have survived and I am pregnant, so I am not left out."
"Let me take your pulse." Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and said.
Dongdong nodded and exposed his arms.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the plump woman and said, "Everything is fine, don't worry, you just need to move around more often."
Dong Dong sighed and retracted his hand: "Of course I trust Sister Xu's medical skills. I will listen to you and walk more in the future."
After saying a few more words to Dongdongke, Xu Miaomiao just got up to leave when she saw a woman suddenly rushing out.
The woman's hair was disheveled and draped behind her, her clothes were not intact, and there was a foul smell coming from her body.
Xu Miaomiao frowned as she looked at the woman who suddenly rushed out. Looking at her pale cheeks and lips without any blood color, she realized that it was Chunhe whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Hurry up and pull her away." Dongdong said to the servant girl beside him.
But before the servant could do anything, Chun He took out a pair of scissors from her sleeve and said to Xu Miaomiao viciously: "Xu Miaomiao, go to hell!"
Seeing the woman rushing towards her quickly, Xu Miaomiao was so scared that she stepped back and grabbed Chunhe's hands with both hands to block her.
Looking at the scissors so close, Xu Miaomiao seemed to have used up all her strength to resist.
Throwing the crazy woman aside, Xu Miaomiao immediately stood up, gasping for breath.
Chunhe fell to the ground and the scissors were thrown aside.
Seeing Chunhe was about to get the scissors, Xu Miaomiao picked them up first and held them in her hand.
But the crazy Chunhe didn't care about anything else. Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was not hurt, he rushed towards Dongdong who was standing aside.
Dongdong was so frightened that his face turned black, and he fell down when he was only a few steps away from her.
Xu Miaomiao took the scissors and stabbed them into Chunhe's abdomen. Although a lot of blood was drawn, it did not hurt any vital parts. Xu Miaomiao made the move only after making sure of this.
Seeing Chunhe arrive, Dongdong was relieved: "Mrs. Xu, thanks to you. I should have asked the master to deal with such a vicious woman earlier."
Xu Miaomiao threw the scissors aside, looked at the woman in front of her and said, "Nothing is seriously injured, but she may not be able to do hard labor in the future."
"Don't worry, Madam Xu. You are here to save me today. I will definitely tell the master everything that happened today." Dong Dong said fiercely while looking at the woman lying on the ground.
Although the problem was solved, Xu Miaomiao was still scared out of her wits and broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly left Cui Yuanwai's mansion.
If Chunhe was willing to live the rest of her life obediently, I believe Mr. Cui would remember their friendship. However, after what happened today, I'm afraid that may not be the case.
After all, it was someone else's business, so Xu Miaomiao didn't think much about it and drove the carriage to the school gate.
Xu Miaomiao grasped the timing just right and arrived just in time for the school to be dismissed.
Erbao and Xiaobao were waiting at the door obediently.
"Mother!"
When he saw Xu Miaomiao, he ran over and looked at her with a smile.
After patting the two children's heads, Xu Miaomiao took them into the carriage.
"What did you learn in school today?"
