Chapter 404 Lu Mingzhu Miscarriage
Lu Mingzhu didn't say anything, but her silence was an acknowledgement of what Qin's mother said.
Mother Qin took a breath and tried to calm herself down: "Auntie, are you really going to do this?"
Plotting against the mistress, even if the dirty water was really thrown on the lady, would the eldest young master deal with the lady for the sake of a bastard?
"Go quickly, this is my only chance to turn things around."
Lu Mingzhu said.
She was taking a gamble. Even if she couldn't get Liu Anyao to give up her life, at least she had to regain her husband's love and compassion, so she had no choice but to sacrifice the child.
Seeing that Lu Mingzhu insisted, Mother Qin said nothing more and put away the silver and jewelry.
"It's too conspicuous during the day. I'll go out after dark so that I won't be seen."
"good."
The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight was faintly chilly. Mother Qin walked to the door holding two larger purses and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, mothers."
The old woman looked at Mother Qin coldly and said, "It's not hard or not to work for the master."
"My aunt has had a poor appetite these days. She suddenly wants to eat the braised beef from the restaurant in the east of the city. Please ask you two mothers to accommodate me. I'll be back soon." Mother Qin said, and put the purse in her hand into the hands of the two maids.
The heavy weight in their hands made them both look surprised.
Seeing this, Mother Qin's smile became more sincere. "I also understand the difficulties you two mothers face, so I chose to go out at night. I will sneak out from the back door, and I will not be discovered. It will only take an hour to go back and forth from here to the east of the city, so it won't be difficult for you two mothers."
The two old women looked at each other and wanted to refuse, but the purses in their hands made them reluctant to refuse.
"If my aunt wants to eat braised beef, just give the order." One of the maids struggled for a while and said.
Mother Qin looked at the old woman with a look that said, "Now that the aunt is under custody, there are people in the mansion who flatter the powerful and flatter the weak. Even if they are ordered to buy braised beef for the aunt, they will be afraid of the trouble and just do it casually."
The old woman was silent.
Mother Qin continued, "Even if the eldest master is angry with Auntie, he has not said he will ignore the child in Auntie's belly. It's okay for adults to feel wronged, but the child should not suffer with her. You two mothers have seen Auntie's condition in the past few days. If she hadn't taken tonics and pregnancy-protecting medicine every day, I don't know if she could have kept the child. It's rare that Auntie wants to eat some braised beef today, I hope you two mothers will understand."
"Okay, then you go quickly and come back quickly. It will take at most an hour. If it takes longer, I will not let you go and report to the lady that you ran away." The old woman stuffed the purse into her sleeve and said arrogantly.
Mother Qin smiled and nodded: "Of course, of course, I dare not embarrass the two mothers."
Having said that, he walked outside under the watchful eyes of the two old women and blended into the moonlight.
After Mother Qin left, the two of them took out their purses tacitly and opened them. The gold and silver jewelry inside were so dazzling that they blinded their eyes.
“Such a big deal.”
"We really underestimated Aunt Lu. We thought she was just a poor concubine's daughter. We didn't expect she had so much money."
"It seems that we will have many benefits in the future."
"That's right. After tasting the sweetness of leaving the house once, you will always want to leave again. Let's be more strict next time and take more orders. Who knows if someone else will be replaced to guard in the middle of the journey, which will benefit others."
"Old sister is wise."
Mother Qin walked to the back door and waited for the patrolling servant to go far away before she walked over. There was someone watching the back door too. Mother Qin gave the servant a purse and explained the reason for leaving the house. The servant happily opened the door for her: "Come back early. I won't open the door for you after the time."
"Yes, yes."
Mother Qin nodded repeatedly and quickly left the house, blending into the night.
The streets of Beijing were still bustling at night. Mother Qin came out of the alley at the back door of the Xiao Mansion and went straight to the Qiao family's clinic.
"Is the shopkeeper here?"
The medicine boy was tidying up the medicine cabinet. When he heard Mother Qin's voice, he turned around and looked at her and said, "Just tell me what medicine this lady needs."
Mother Qin said, "If you have anything important, please go to the shopkeeper."
The medicine boy listened to Mother Qin's familiar tone, paused, and quickly went to call the shopkeeper out.
"She said she has something important to discuss with you."
The shopkeeper didn't recognize Mother Qin and looked at her suspiciously: "What's the matter?"
Mother Qin took two steps forward and lowered her voice, saying, "I am Mother Qin from Madam Lu of the Xiao Mansion. Please tell Miss Five that Madam Lu wants to use the child to frame Liu Anyao."
The Lu family was too far away, and she couldn't get back to the Xiao Mansion within an hour, so she asked the owner of the clinic to inform the eldest young lady. After hearing what was going on, the eldest young lady would understand what was going on and would naturally pass the news to the third young lady.
The shopkeeper was confused: "What do you mean..."
Mother Qin: "Just tell Miss Five what you said. Also, I need abortion pills."
As she spoke, she took out a silver ingot and placed it on the counter.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then turned around and went to get medicine for Mother Qin.
After Mother Qin left, the shopkeeper asked the pharmacist to look after the shop while he hurried to Qiao's house.
…
Lu Xiang sat in front of the bronze mirror, Wu Yue undid her hair, when she suddenly saw Yun Zha hurried in: "Miss, just now the eldest young lady sent Liang Chen to pass on a message. I went to see her and she said that Madam Qin went to the clinic and asked the shopkeeper to tell the eldest young lady that Madam Lu was trying to use the child to plot against Liu An Yao, and she bought abortion pills and left."
"Ah?" Lu Xiang didn't say anything, but Wu Yue exclaimed: "Aunt Lu is crazy."
Ah Man was chewing on a lamb chop when he heard Wu Yue's voice and ran in: "What's wrong?"
When Yunzha and Wuyue saw this, the corners of their mouths twitched fiercely.
"A'man, you had an elbow, a tray of steamed dumplings and a bowl of rice in the evening. Why are you still eating?" Yunzha opened his eyes wide and looked at A'man in a daze.
Ah Man's mouth was full of oil. After hearing Yun Zhai's words, she said with a look of heartache: "Not much, I only had a bowl of rice. I haven't been able to eat properly recently, and I've become thinner due to hunger."
Yun Zhe: “…”
Wu Yue: “…”
Do you have any misunderstandings about not being able to eat properly?
So you have to have four bowls of rice in one meal to be considered a good meal, and the rest of what you eat doesn't count?
Also, where did you become thin due to hunger?
You have a round little face, and you don’t look hungry at all.
It’s strange that Ah Man has such a big mouth but he’s not fat.
"Miss, even if Lu Mingzhu puts the blame on Liu Anyao, can she turn the tables?" Yun Zha no longer paid attention to Ah Man, but looked at Lu Xiang and asked.
