The blueprints were burned. Chi Yunzhi was considering drawing a new set when she saw the maid sent by Princess Wuyang. "The princess heard about the fire at the Song Mansion and sent me here to inform the eldest young lady. It's important for her to take good care of herself. She's going on a long journey and won't be back for a month. You have plenty of time to prepare this set of jewelry."
Ningshuang conveyed the message, left a high-quality Ganoderma lucidum and went back.
The news of the fire at Song Mansion last night reached Chi Mansion, and Zhou was so scared that she fainted.
Li, who came to give Zhou the abortion soup, was stunned and at a loss. Last night, Chi Bingwen stayed in Zhou's room again.
He has been staying at Zhou's place for half a month.
How should Li, the main wife, deal with this?
The servants in the mansion were all laughing at her!
Laughing at her for not being as favored as a concubine, things are going to change in the Chi Mansion soon!
So early in the morning, Li came over impatiently with the contraceptive soup.
During the past half month, Li came to give her contraceptive soup every few days, and Pei could not escape either.
As soon as Mrs. Zhou fainted, the Zhou Mansion fell into chaos.
The servants were anxious to call the doctor and to call Chi Bingwen back, but no one was willing to entertain Li.
Soon Chi Bingwen was called back, followed by an imperial physician.
The imperial physician came forward to take Zhou's pulse. Li also wanted to know what happened to Zhou. She drank so much contraceptive soup, so it must be of some use, right?
Chi Bingwen looked at the tense face of the imperial physician and wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously. He was so out of breath after running all the way here!
The imperial physician's tense expression relaxed again, and after a while he withdrew the handkerchief that was covering the skin.
"What's the matter?" Chi Bingwen asked.
"Madam is a little weak. Don't have sex during pregnancy. Also, don't stimulate her. Pregnant women should not be frightened!" The imperial physician packed his medicine box slowly.
"What? She's pregnant?" Chi Bingwen and Li said in unison.
The difference is that Chi Bingwen was excited and thrilled, while Li was skeptical and unconvinced.
"If you don't believe me, just ask the imperial physician to diagnose me." This was the first time he had been questioned by a woman in all his years of practicing medicine.
"Madam, you should believe the imperial physician's diagnosis. Besides, why can't Zhou get pregnant?" Chi Bingwen said with a frown, turning his head and seeing the medicine on the table.
This doesn't look like a good thing.
"What is this?" Chi Bingwen asked, pointing at the soup bowl.
"This, this is contraceptive soup." Li was a little lacking in confidence.
Chi Bingwen took the bowl and walked outside, then poured it into the flowerpot. "Don't use this kind of stuff. Before Zhou gives birth, you will take care of her fetus."
Chi Bingwen drove Li away.
The news that Zhou was pregnant spread like wildfire, making Pei jealous.
Chi Bingwen came to her place quite a few times, but Li came more often.
The couple, one sowed the seeds and the other gave her contraceptive soup, it would be strange if she could get pregnant!
But Zhou happened to get pregnant!
Song Tingyue followed the Dali Temple Minister to investigate cases everywhere. His cold temperament made the ladies from wealthy families stay away from him.
The young ladies all asked about the fire at the Song Mansion last night. They thought that the yamen runners on the street were all related to this incident.
Song Tingyue was very upset. There was a high probability that the arson case was related to Fang Baolin, but this person seemed to have disappeared and could not be found.
"Could it be that he is no longer in the capital?" Bai Yufeng asked while riding on a tall horse.
"I think it's possible." Zhang Rong'an said.
A few people discussed that they should look outside the city gate. The Fang family was not in the capital, but in a town some distance away from the capital.
Song Tingyue suspected that she had escaped back to the Fang family.
Just as they were about to drive their horses forward, a yamen runner ran over.
They found the body of an adult male twenty miles outside the city gate and initially determined that the time of death was early this morning.
When several people arrived at the scene, the male corpse had been covered with a white cloth and the surrounding area had been controlled.
Song Tingyue went forward to check and recognized that this was his uncle whom he had not seen for many years.
Logically speaking, when my uncle comes to the capital, he will definitely come to my house to ask for money.
It has been like this for many years, every year.
But why didn’t he come this time, and was killed and his body thrown here?
He had a deep wound in his abdomen, which was his fatal injury.
There were a few strands of dry straw in his hair, and he asked the soldier guarding the city gate.
Sure enough, in the early morning, a cart loaded with straw left the city, but no one knew where it went.
"We can continue searching according to this clue. Let's go to Fang's house first." Song Tingyue said.
The Dali Temple Minister was extremely busy. So was Song Tingyue.
It was already dark and he still hadn't come back.
The new yard has been cleaned up and the servants are helping to move things.
Chi Yunzhi was drawing a blueprint with a blanket covering her legs.
The old lady liked her very much and just now insisted on giving her the jade ruyi that she had treasured for a long time, but she declined.
Song Shaoheng and his family also came to Songheyuan to see her, and were relieved to see that she was safe and sound.
"It's a pity that your painting was burned before I could see it enough." Chi Yunzhi's words were full of regret.
"It's no big deal. At worst I can just get another pair to replace it." Song Yansheng patted his chest generously.
Ever since he knew that he didn't have to be adopted by his uncle, he has had a good impression of his aunt.
She is beautiful, gentle, and very nice to others.
"Where did you get it?" Chi Yunzhi asked curiously, and handed him a piece of candy.
"Of course it's in my father's study. He bought it but didn't read it." Song Yansheng said with disgust.
Then when he returned to Furongyuan, he was beaten by a mixed group of men and women.
Those are all authentic works of famous people worth thousands of taels! This brat just gave them away without a word!
His father's heart is bleeding!
"But fortunately, the fan you bought is still there, right?" Song Shaoheng asked while squatting on the doorstep after having enough fun.
But after a long time without seeing Chu's reply, he turned his head away in confusion, and Chu avoided his gaze guiltily.
"No way? You said you would give it to me!" Song Shaoheng was furious. That was the fan he had been thinking about for a long time.
All his friends had one, and he wanted one too.
Mainly the inscription on the fan! Every word is worth a thousand gold!
"Well, since I saw that you made it to the military camp safely, I gave it to my sister-in-law." After saying this, Mrs. Chu laughed guiltily twice.
Song Shaoheng kept whispering in her ear for a long time. Song Yansheng, who was squatting on the ground, covered her ears that had been twisted twice and rolled her eyes.
Song Jinze was poking ant holes outside. He was still young and didn't get involved in these things.
When Qian learned that her brother-in-law was found dead in the wilderness, she fainted in grief.
Such a heinous murder case occurred in the capital, and the murderer has not been caught yet, and the people are in panic.
Chi Yunzhi only learned about Zhou's pregnancy three days later.
"That's great! Mother's situation will be much better now that she has a child!" Chi Yunzhi was overjoyed.
