Chapter 150 Miscarriage
"Brother is satisfied. This price of 100,000 taels was settled for Xiangxiang's sake."
"The third young lady is younger than you, right? How can she be so capable?" Qiao Yuanan had never met Lu Xiang, so he had a new understanding of Lu Xiang's abilities.
The mining business was jointly handled by Qiao Zhiyan and Lu Xiang. Except for the two elders of the Lu family, no one else knew about it.
Qiao Jingru was proud of it: "Of course, otherwise the Queen wouldn't like me."
Qiao Yuanan and Qiao Zhiyan looked at each other. With a relationship with the Queen, everything they did would be twice as effective with half the effort.
The mansion is two streets away from the Lu family, so it is very convenient to travel back and forth. The interior is three-story, with deep and wide courtyards. There are flowers and rocks between the halls and courtyards, mixed with countless weeds. There is an artificially dug lake in the back garden. At this moment, a layer of dead leaves is floating on the lake. The pillars of the corridor eaves are carved with various lifelike patterns. Although the whole house is a bit decadent, it is quite impressive.
After a round, Qiao Zhiyan asked Qiao Yuanan: "How does it compare to what you picked?"
"This place is great. It seemed too small to me before." Qiao Yuanan said, very satisfied with the place.
It seems that in this capital city, even if you have enough money to buy a house, you won’t be able to buy a satisfactory one without some connections.
Qiao Zhiyan smiled and said, "It's settled then. Let's go through the formalities now and hire craftsmen to rebuild it tomorrow."
After completing the important task and holding the house deeds and land deeds, the three brothers of the Qiao family finally felt a sense of belonging in this capital city.
When Qiao Jingru returned, she filled a car with gifts, half of which were sent to Qixiayuan.
"So many?" Lu Xiang was surprised when he saw the pile of gifts in front of him.
Qiao Jingru: "It's my duty. My elder brother said that you are now his partner after all. He couldn't give you gifts during the holidays, so he brought them to you this time. He also thanks you for finding such a nice house for them."
Then, she took out another account book and said, "This is the income, expenditure and profit of the mine in the past six months. My brother asked me to show it to you."
"No need to look, I trust your elder brother." Lu Xiang said.
Qiao Jingru smiled and nodded: "Okay."
She said she believed in her elder brother, but Lu Xiang had never had any contact with him. Ultimately, the person she truly believed in was herself, Qiao Jingru thought happily.
The two were chatting casually when suddenly Yun Zha walked in in a hurry.
"Miss, Madam, something happened in Heyuan. Madam Liu seems to have had a miscarriage."
Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru were stunned.
Qiao Jingru asked in surprise: "Why is the child gone?"
They knew that Liu's pregnancy was fake, and they knew that she would use this child to plot against them, but they were still shocked when she actually did it.
"I just woke up from a nap and suddenly I cried out of stomach pain, and then I started bleeding. A lot of blood came out, and an elderly woman said it was probably a miscarriage."
"Is the doctor here?" Lu Xiang asked.
Yun Zhe said: "He said he went to invite him."
Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru looked at each other and hurried out of the house.
On the way to the Lotus Garden, I met the old lady, whose aged face was full of anxiety and uneasiness.
"Ancestral line." Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru called out.
The old lady responded and said, "You heard about it too, right?"
"Yes." Lu Xiang replied, and walked to the old lady's side to support her: "Grandma, don't worry, let's see what the doctor says."
Mother Wen nodded in agreement: "Miss San is right. This is what I advised the old lady. Maybe it's just the spotting caused by the unstable fetus. It's not serious. I asked the old lady to wait in the house. I will go to the lotus courtyard to find out the situation and come back to report to her, but the old lady refused to go in person."
The old lady was looking forward to the baby in Aunt Liu's belly. When she heard about the miscarriage, she was extremely anxious. Mother Wen was also afraid that the old lady would not be able to bear it.
"It makes me even more anxious when you ask me to wait." said the old lady, walking quickly.
Soon, they arrived at the Lotus Garden.
The entire Lotus Courtyard was filled with a tense atmosphere, and the maids all hung their heads and remained silent.
Liu's room was also crowded with people. When they saw the old lady enter the room, several concubines hurriedly saluted and said, "Greetings, old lady."
The old lady saw Liu lying on the bed with a pale face and the doctor sitting on a stool taking Liu's pulse. She strode forward and looked at the doctor nervously.
The doctor's face was very solemn, and the old lady's heart began to sink.
On the bed, Liu's whining and moaning made people feel upset.
After a while, the doctor took it back, stood up and bowed to the old lady, saying: "To reply to what the old lady said, the child was not saved."
"Ah...ah..." Upon hearing this, Liu screamed heartbreakingly: "Child, my child."
The old lady staggered and seemed to be unable to stand steadily.
Lu Xiang held her steadily and looked at the frantic Liu with a serious gaze.
Fanghua asked the doctor with red eyes: "Doctor, what's wrong? Wasn't it fine before?"
"That...I can't really say."
Liu grabbed the quilt angrily and screamed, "Someone wants to harm my child. Is someone trying to harm my child?"
The old lady was shocked by her words: "Liu, don't speak carelessly."
According to the rules of the Lu family, no matter how the women in the harem fight or quarrel, they must not use children as sacrifices, otherwise they will never be forgiven.
So even though the Lu family had few descendants, the children grew up well.
Apart from Lu Yue who was so cruel as to commit the vicious act of harming her sisters and was therefore kicked out of the Lu Mansion, even if it was Lu Mingzhu who was not liked by the old lady, the old lady would not deliberately make things difficult for her and torture her.
Liu cried and sobbed, and her pale face due to miscarriage looked even more charming: "Old Madam, I have been suffering from severe morning sickness, but the doctor has always said that my fetus is stable. Why did I miscarry after sleeping today? It must be the villain who is trying to kill my child."
"This..." The old lady was stunned with shock. She subconsciously wanted to deny what Liu said, but a trace of doubt arose in her heart.
yes!
Although Liu was old and it was not easy for her to be pregnant, the doctor said after taking her pulse several times that the fetus was stable.
Is it really man-made?
Who is so cruel that he doesn't even spare the children?
The more the old lady thought about it, the more she felt a chill rising from her back, freezing her blood.
"Doctor, you say." Qiao Jingru said at this time.
Doctor Li glanced at Lu Xiang and Qiao Jingru, swallowed quietly, and said with a tense face: "There was no strong impact, and it does not seem like a natural miscarriage due to physical deficiency, but the specific reasons need to be carefully investigated one by one to see what the aunt ate or touched today?"
The old lady gasped fiercely and was shaking with anger.
She sat down on the couch beside her, her sharp eyes swept over everyone in the room one by one, her gaze was cold and terrifying: "Mother Wen, check it carefully for me."
