Chapter 128: Knowing the Background and Getting a Miscarriage
When Yun Qiao saw Chen Jingyan bringing Gu Heng over, she knew that she could no longer hide the fact that she was pregnant.
However, when Gu Heng took her pulse, it was just a pregnancy. Did it take him so long to diagnose it?
Yun Qiao couldn't help but ask, "Second Master, am I suffering from some incurable disease?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Jingyan glared at her, then looked at Gu Heng, "Second brother, how is she?"
"It seems like she's pregnant, but the pulse doesn't seem right. If I'm not mistaken, it's twins."
Twins?
Chen Jingyan had a faint smile on his indifferent face, and seemed very satisfied.
Yun Qiao was still in shock.
She knew she was pregnant, and she also knew that there would always be a day when it would be revealed, but she never expected that she was pregnant with two children.
She was suddenly panicked.
After taking the pulse, Gu Heng went out and called Chen Jingyan out. She didn't know what they were talking about outside. Yun Qiao was alone in the messy room. She didn't have the mood to think about it at the moment. Her stomach was growling with hunger.
She had no choice but to get up and walk out, just in time to see Chen Jingyan coming in.
"Why did you get out of bed?"
"I'm hungry." Yun Qiao's voice was filled with anxiety. "I haven't eaten anything since a while ago. I'm so hungry that my legs are weak."
Chen Jingyan stepped forward and picked up Yun Qiao horizontally.
"I've had the food prepared and brought over right away. Just lie down and I'll feed you."
Yun Qiao looked at Chen Jingyan with doubt in her eyes.
"What? You don't believe me?" Chen Jingyan smiled.
He said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.
Chen Jingyan seemed like a completely different person. He was extremely caring towards her and even fed her food, which made Yun Qiao feel uncomfortable.
"If you don't want to return to Kyoto, go live in a farm in the suburbs. After the child is born, I will take you back to the Marquis' Mansion."
Yun Qiao wanted to go back to the Marquis' Mansion to see if there was any news about Xiao Tao. She was so cruel. She had been away for so many days without thinking about her and didn't even reply to a single letter.
Now the news of her pregnancy has been made clear.
Even if she asked Chen Jingyan and Gu Heng not to tell anyone, they would not be able to hide it once her belly got bigger. It would be better for her to live in the farm and wait until the baby was born.
"Okay, just do as the Marquis says. It doesn't matter where I go."
"Don't think too much. You'll feel more comfortable living at the manor. I'm afraid you won't feel happy in the manor."
After all, she was pregnant, so he naturally attached more importance to Chen Jingyan's bloodline.
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "My Lord, there is no need to explain."
"Yun Qiao, everyone has their bottom line. I'm telling you straight up, I'll resolve and handle all the conflicts and problems between us, but you, don't back down anymore. If you dare to sneak away, I'll never want you again in this life."
Yun Qiao felt a little uneasy, as if someone had seen through her thoughts.
She didn't say anything.
She did have the idea of running away, but she hadn't decided where to go.
She was already worried about how to raise one child, not to mention that she was now pregnant with twins.
What if she ran away with the baby, and gave birth in the wilderness, with one body and three lives...
This deal is not worth it.
And just as Chen Jingyan said, they left Jiangcheng and went directly to the farm in the suburbs. As soon as Yun Qiao arrived, she saw two familiar maids working in Lanyuan.
Autumn cicadas and autumn leaves.
"The Marquis sent a letter asking me to come to the manor in advance and tidy up the largest courtyard on the manor, Fuguangyuan."
"Auntie, you've been gone for such a long time, I've missed you so much."
Yunqiao looked at the autumn cicadas and autumn leaves.
"I missed you guys, too."
"Did you receive a letter from Xiaotao when you were in Lanyuan?" Yun Qiao asked calmly.
Qiu Ye and Qiu Chan shook their heads at the same time.
"After you left the Marquis' Mansion, Lan Garden has lost its former bustle. We stayed in Lan Garden and didn't want to go anywhere else. We just wanted to wait for Auntie to come back."
Yun Qiao chuckled and continued walking forward, surrounded by two maids.
Chen Jingyan followed behind and called out to the people in Zhuangzi's house and gave him some other instructions.
It was nothing more than using the best of food and drink for Aunt Qiao.
Yun Qiao looked at Fuguang Courtyard. The yard was quite large, and there were lush flowers and plants in this season, but it did not feel familiar. However, she herself was just a floating duckweed, her home was everywhere, and she had no sense of belonging.
It feels a bit worse, but still bearable.
"Do you still like it here?" Chen Jingyan, who came later, looked at her and asked.
Yun Qiao nodded. "It's okay. It's the same to me wherever I am."
Yun Qiao was too lazy to talk much with Chen Jingyan. Perhaps it was because her body was really tired after pregnancy, so she didn't want to say anything.
Chen Jingyan frowned, always feeling that Yun Qiao was very unhappy at this time.
But for now, he can only arrange Yunqiao to live in a farm in the suburbs. He has to go back and deal with the matter of Princess Hua Chao. He is worried that if Princess Hua Chao finds out that Yunqiao is pregnant, she will want to kill him.
For safety reasons, let Yunqiao live in the manor for the time being.
If she returned to the Marquis' Mansion and was confined to Lan Garden all day, she would probably be in an even worse mood.
At the farm, it was spring, with flowers blooming, birds singing and insects chirping, which allowed her to relax and take care of her pregnancy.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you for now."
Yun Qiao smiled and said, "Look at what the Marquis said. I'm just a little concubine. What's wrong with being wronged? It's nothing."
After settling Yun Qiao, Chen Jingyan returned to Kyoto first. He needed to go to the palace to report, so he did not dare to delay.
Yun Qiao had a rare good night's sleep. Chen Jingyan loved her, whether on the way back from Guangcheng or when they stayed in Jiangcheng. Even if he wanted to, he didn't force her, but just held her in his arms as she slept at night.
Yun Qiao didn’t know whether Chen Jingyan slept comfortably or not, but she was sure that she did not sleep comfortably.
Sleeping in the same bed with a man is far less comfortable than sleeping alone.
The day after Chen Jingyan left, Yun Qiao secretly sent someone to inquire about the news in northern Shaanxi, but found out nothing.
Yun Qiao thought to herself that no news might be the best news.
She then rested in peace on the farm to take care of her pregnancy, while Chen Jingyan took his sister Maidong back to Kyoto.
Mai Dong actually didn't want to go with Chen Jingyan. On the contrary, she liked this sister-in-law very much.
Although her younger sister-in-law is a concubine, she has no ill will towards her. She prefers her younger sister-in-law Yun Qiao.
It has been three days since Maidong arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, but she still cannot adapt to the life here. The old lady seems to dislike her and complains about her all day long. But her eldest brother told her that the old lady is their only relative and she must not do anything out of line to anger her.
Of course, Maidong was also worried that he would anger the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion to death again.
After Chen Jingyan dropped her off at the Marquis' Mansion, he went to the Imperial Palace. It had been several days, but he hadn't returned. Mai Dong was bored staying at the Marquis' Mansion all day, and wanted to go out for a walk, but she was surrounded by guards.
The guards followed her wherever she went. With her mediocre skills, she could not beat the guards at all.
If you want to leave the mansion, you can only do it by trickery.
It was just unfortunate that he had just crawled out of the dog hole when someone grabbed his arm. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a dirty woman with disheveled hair.
"Save me, find Aunt Qiao..."
"Aunt Qiao? Isn't that my sister-in-law?" Mai Dong seemed to be unruly, but he was actually a man of great chivalry. He immediately crawled out of the dog hole and helped the fallen woman up to make sure he didn't know her.
But she was sure that this person must know her sister-in-law.
Maidong didn't want to go back to the Marquis' Mansion, so he dragged the unconscious person to the clinic.
After a series of injections, the unconscious person woke up. This person was Xiaotao who had escaped from northern Shaanxi.
"Are you awake? Who are you? What do you want to see Aunt Qiao for?"
"My name is Xiaotao, and I'm Aunt Qiao's personal maid. I have something important to ask Aunt Qiao. Thank you for saving my life, young lady."
"You're looking for Aunt Qiao. She's not in the Marquis' Mansion in Kyoto right now. She's staying at a farm in the suburbs."
"On a farm in the suburbs?"
Xiaotao knows.
She propped herself up and said, "Miss, thank you for saving my life. I will thank you again when I find my aunt. I'm going to go find my aunt."
So many things happened in northern Shaanxi.
Grandma is dead.
Grandma's family is all dead.
In order to protect her, the old lady was burned to death, but she hid in a water tank and barely survived. Poor old lady's sons and grandsons, they all died.
She had to tell her aunt.
We must avenge grandma's family.
Seeing Xiaotao looking so pitiful, Maidong didn't want to stay in the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in Kyoto, so he decided to go to the farm outside the city with Xiaotao.
***
Yun Qiao has been feeling uneasy these days, and she doesn't know why. Her morning sickness has become more severe. She can't eat anything and vomits everything she eats, especially the smell of meat.
It is visible to the naked eye that the little face has become so thin that it has a pointed chin.
She hasn't been in a good mood these days, lying lazily on the couch and not wanting to move at all.
She thought to herself that if Xiaotao were here, she would definitely try her best to make some food for her to eat. She really wanted to eat some sour soup noodles.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she actually heard Xiao Tao calling her.
Yun Qiao moved and looked towards the door.
"Girl, it's me, Xiaotao."
"Xiao Tao..." Yun Qiao suddenly got up from the bed and walked towards Xiao Tao, "What's wrong with you?"
"Girl, Nanny Wang is in trouble. Her whole family is dead. They were burned to death in a fire."
When Yun Qiao heard this, a wave of unfamiliar memories attacked her brain...
I don’t know if the original owner was afraid of fire. Not to mention seeing it, even hearing about it would make her feel suffocated.
"How could this happen? How did you escape?"
Xiao Tao cried and said, "I listened to your words and went to look for Grandma when I returned to northern Shaanxi. As soon as I arrived, the wet nurse talked to me a lot, asking me to look for Master Hui'an, saying that she had some news about your life."
"Miss, you are not the daughter of the Yun family. The wet nurse said that the daughter of the Yun family died at birth. The master of the Yun family had just returned from doing business outside. At that time, the master had a mistress outside. The mistress was worried that she would lose the master's heart if the child was gone, so she took you from the outside. You also have twin sisters..."
Yun Qiao was already pregnant, and she found it a little hard to accept all the news she heard suddenly.
I almost fainted.
Fortunately, Maidong stepped forward to support Yunqiao, but found that Yunqiao's clothes were stained with blood.
"Sister-in-law, you're bleeding..."
The bloodstains were very conspicuous on her skirt, and Maidong was so scared that his face turned pale.
She was finished, she was finished. When she brought Xiao Tao to the farm, she forgot that her sister-in-law was pregnant. Her eldest brother told her not to mention Aunt Qiao's pregnancy in front of the old lady, so she simply forgot about it.
"Girl, what's wrong with you?"
Qiu Ye and Qiu Chan also started to panic.
"Xiao Tao, when you were talking about these things, why didn't you ask whether my aunt was pregnant?"
"I've been feeling uncomfortable these past few days."
Yun Qiao's limbs felt weak and powerless, and her vision went blank. She shouted, "Go quickly, find a doctor..."
But I couldn't say it out loud.
Fortunately, the maids below are all smart.
Qiu Ye immediately went to call a doctor, Qiu Chan immediately went to find someone reliable on the farm, and immediately went into the city to find the Marquis.
Fortunately, it was still early, and we rode at full speed, otherwise it would be difficult to enter the city if we waited until night.
I just came back from the palace. I chatted with the emperor in the imperial study for two days and one night. The emperor ate, drank and slept as he pleased, but he suffered a lot and didn't close his eyes for two days and one night.
I just left the palace.
The guard Wuying came forward and said, "Something happened to Aunt Qiao."
"What's going on?" Chen Jingyan asked sharply, "Prepare the horses and go to the farm outside the city."
Wuying quickly followed, "The horses have been prepared. Xiaotao, the maidservant beside Concubine Qiao, has returned from northern Shaanxi on her own. I'm afraid Concubine Qiao has already learned that her wet nurse and her entire family were massacred."
Chen Jingyan walked quickly without stopping. When Wuying called out the horse, he turned over and got on the horse.
"My Lord, please slow down."
"Wuying took my badge and went to ask for Su, the Imperial Physician, and said I had something important to ask of him."
Chen Jingyan took off his badge and handed it to Wuying, then left directly towards the city gate. Wuying turned in another direction and went to Su Imperial Physician's house.
At this time, Imperial Physician Su had already gone to bed. He was awakened by a knock on the door, saying that the Marquis of Zhenbei had an important matter and asked him to come and see the patient.
Upon learning that it was the Marquis of Zhenbei, Imperial Physician Su did not dare to delay. He had some friendship with the Marquis of Zhenbei. Imperial Physician Su had a younger brother who had gone to the battlefield earlier and was nearly killed. Thanks to Chen Jingyan who helped him block a bullet, Imperial Physician Su's brother was safe.
The Su family will remember this favor.
Yun Qiao had a miscarriage. The doctor she called in said that she was weak and had difficulty getting pregnant. Now that she was pregnant, it was more dangerous for her than for others.
Before the doctor could prescribe any medicine, Chen Jingyan rushed over.
When he got off the horse, the horse that had carried him all the way fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth, almost dying of exhaustion.
He pushed the door open and walked in.
"What did I tell you to do? Take good care of Aunt Qiao, and this is how you take care of her? You're a bunch of useless people."
Yun Qiao raised her head slightly when she heard Chen Jingyan's angry voice.
"My Lord, am I okay?"
"How is it?"
He stepped forward and asked with concern.
His voice was very low, as if he was afraid that if he spoke too loudly, it would scare the baby in Yun Qiao's belly away.
