During this period, she felt confused, anxious, and in pain, like a beast trapped in a cage, unable to find a way out.
The days ahead are like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, swallowing everything it owns.
It's not that she didn't ask her mother and personal nanny, but they only told her not to worry about nothing and to make trouble for herself.
Which girl hasn't gone through this? Why is it that she is in trouble while others are fine? She can only say that she is unlucky and it is her fate!
It's not like that. This is not the answer she wants to hear. She knows it's wrong, but she can't tell why!
In this family, only her grandmother can help her, and she is also the last hope to resolve the confusion in her heart!
“Lingyin, our lives are no different from those of a tree, we all go through birth, aging, sickness and death.
The first arrival of a woman's menstrual period is like a small bud on a sapling. It takes several months for the bud to bloom, bear fruit, and finally mature and fall off the tree.
What's more, for us women, the arrival of Guishui only means that you are qualified to be a mother, but it will take a long time before you can give birth to a healthy child!
You are still children yourselves, how can you afford the cost of having children?
Think about it, don’t many women continue to grow taller after reaching the age of 15?”
Qiao Lingshu asked: "But grandma, when is the right time?"
"It's only in the prime of life that it counts. Generally, a woman's body stops growing at this age, and only then will she be able to have the healthy conditions to give birth!"
The ten years from the age of youth to the age of thirty are the best time for a woman to have children.
If the mother is not strong, the child will be weak.
Premature pregnancy not only causes serious damage to the mother's body, but also makes it more likely to have problems such as miscarriage, hemorrhage, and dystocia.
Even if the child is born, it is not easy to raise it, and the chance of death is very high!
Nanny Qin responded, "Now that the old lady mentioned this, I remember that it is very common for the wives of the major families in the capital to lose their first child.
Many people have been injured or even killed because of this! Many children cannot even stand up at the age of three or four, and they are gone in an instant! "
Qiao Xin sighed and said, "Age is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that girls from wealthy families only have a small area to move around in their lifetime.
Even so, they still insist on not showing teeth when smiling and not walking with a breeze, which actually restricts people like wooden stakes.
In recent years, it has become popular in the capital to regard gentleness as beauty. Women are willing to be weak all their lives and have to rely on men to survive!
Giving birth is a physical job for women. How can they give birth to a baby without strength? Look at your second aunt, she worked every day in the countryside. Although she had poor food, she gave birth to my younger brothers and sisters quite smoothly.
But after being pampered for a few years, she became less active, and when she gave birth to your sixth brother, it almost cost her her life!"
Qiao Xin simply stated the facts.
"For so many years, I have forced you sisters to practice martial arts and do everything by yourself as much as possible. I didn't do this to torture you, but I hoped that you could develop a strong body.
The reason I stopped your parents from arranging a marriage too early was because I wanted our daughter to enjoy a few more years of carefree time.
If you want to live to the age of sixty, there is still a long way to go, why rush? "
..........
That night, Qiao Xin gave her granddaughter and the maids in the house an unconventional health lesson.
Qiao Lingyin felt that many of the problems that had been suppressing her heart had been solved.
On the way back, Qiao Lingshu saw that her elder sister was still walking in a daze, and thought that she hadn't figured it out yet.
I couldn't help but remind her, "Big sister, you're not really planning to get engaged too early, are you? Our parents haven't urged us, why are you so upset? Isn't this just forcing yourself to endure hardship?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have any."
"Really? Then what's going on between you and Master Xu? You didn't agree to anything with him, did you? These past few days I've seen him not even dare to raise his head when he sees you, and he blushes whenever he speaks. He wasn't like this before!"
"Don't make blind guesses. No matter how anxious I am to get married, I won't do anything private. Who knows what's wrong with him these days? We're both older now, so it's normal to keep our distance!"
Qiao Lingyun said something shocking: "In fact, it's not bad for Master Xu to be my brother-in-law. After all, he knows me well! He's the head of the family right after he gets married, and there are no brothers or sisters fighting for the family property. It's better for me to be the head of the family than to be humble and subservient to my mother-in-law."
Qiao Lingshu poked her sister's head with a finger.
"What's good about that? He's an only child. The pressure of having a son is huge. And the Marquis's Mansion will definitely give him many wives and concubines in the future in order to expand his family. Tell me, what's good about that?"
Qiao Lingyun pouted and retorted unconvincedly: "You said he is not good, but the one you like is Guan Guanze, he is just as good as Xu Shizi, right?"
"You little girl, you're so bold, how dare you make up stories about your sister?"
"Ah, big sister, help me!"
.........
The sisters' conversation soon reached Qiao Xin's ears.
Qiao Xin and Nanny Qin were also talking about what happened today.
"I was wondering why Xu Can suddenly became a good boy, it seems like he has set his sights on Yin'er!"
"Madam, you don't seem to think highly of them?"
Qiao Xin snorted and said, "Of course I'm not optimistic. Although Xu Can's mother has passed away, he may still have many elders who take care of him.
A foolishly filial father, a biased grandmother, an uncle with ill intentions, and cousins who want to replace her at any time. Why should Yin'er be allowed to suffer in that den of tigers and wolves? "
Nanny Qin thought carefully about the situation in Marquis Xiaoyao's Mansion and found that the old lady's prediction was really accurate. Isn't that the case?
Due to filial piety, the Xiaoyao Marquis Mansion had not been divided for many years. Not only did they let their old mother live in the mansion, but they also moved their two younger brothers in as well.
It is easier to invite a god than to send him away. From then on, this place became the Marquis Xiaoyao Mansion on the surface, but in reality it was run by Xu Can's second aunt and grandmother. After Xu Can escaped several plots by his grandparents and cousins, he simply bought a house outside and earned money to support himself.
Fortunately, Xiaoyao Hou was filial but clear-headed, always protecting his son. Otherwise, Xu Can, the only son of the Hou Mansion, would have been cut off long ago.
Qiao Xin alone has saved him twice.
Although they have been together for so many years, and she truly treats him as a junior and teaches him, but this does not mean that she will be lenient with Yin'er's marriage.
If he still can't cut the mess quickly and just try to smooth things over like his father did, then he will never be able to be with Yin'er in this life.
Xu Can had no idea that he was about to be put on the old lady's blacklist of grandsons-in-law. At this time, he was attending the farewell banquet of his good brother Guanjianze.
