The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Minister Qian staggered, and nearly fainted when he saw the lifeless baby in the cradle.

At this time, the grief-stricken cry of Aunt Liu was heard in the delivery room:

"Child, sir, our child!!!"

Immediately, Minister Qian rushed in without caring about anything else!

The Shangshu's wife gritted her teeth and followed with a cold face.

Only Shen Qinglan glanced at the child in the nanny's arms and narrowed her eyes.

He immediately waved to Shuwen, said something, and then walked into the delivery room.

As soon as I entered the delivery room, I was hit by the smell of blood.

Shen Qinglan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked indifferently at Aunt Liu, who was holding Minister Qian's hand and whose face was as pale as a piece of paper.

Aunt Liu was indeed extremely beautiful, with willow-shaped eyebrows and a pair of watery eyes. She wanted to say something but hesitated. At this moment, she said with a sad face:

"Master, I am incompetent. I failed to protect our child... wuwuwu..."

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, don't cry. You just gave birth and your body is weak. You must take good care of yourself. We will have children again."

Minister Qian held Madam Liu's soft and boneless hand, his eyes full of tenderness and love, his voice unusually gentle.

Shen Qinglan looked at the Shangshu's wife, who was standing two steps in front of him, looking at Shangshu Qian and Aunt Liu with deep affection. He sighed, walked to the side of the Shangshu's wife, and said softly:

"elder sister……"

"When he first came back to pick me up, he told me that it was just an accident after drinking, and that I was the only person he loved... I believed him."

"He said that there would only be this one child between them and he would never let me down. I... believed him."

"But now, he promised her that they would have other children! He seemed to have forgotten his promise to me. Can human hearts... change so quickly?"

The Shangshu's wife spoke softly and calmly, but her face was already in tears.

Shen Qinglan held the Shangshu Madam's cold hand distressedly, and gently wiped away the tears on her face, and said softly:

"People's hearts change easily, and it's hard to keep the original intention. However, it's just the scenery along the way. Sister... the most important thing is yourself! If you give up just like that, what about Mr. Qian?"

All men in the world are unfaithful. Men always like weak women.

The Shangshu's wife has a strong character and is easily broken if she is too rigid. In front of Aunt Liu, she is probably the only one who will suffer.

When the Shangshu's wife listened to Shen Qinglan's words, she thought of Qian Duoduo, and her face immediately showed a bit more determination.

Yes!

How could she admit defeat so easily?

Even for the sake of money, she had to be tough! She couldn't let Aunt Liu throw this basin of dirty water on her!

Before the Shangshu's wife could speak, Aunt Liu looked at her with a hint of resentment and said in a trembling voice:

"Madam, why do you want to harm me and my child? I just want to take care of the child quietly and watch you and the master live in peace and happiness. I will be content, but..."

"Madam, are you unwilling to leave even this little thought to me?"

Aunt Liu was in tears, and she looked so fragile that she looked as if a gust of wind could blow her away, which made Minister Qian feel very distressed.

Minister Qian half-huggled Aunt Liu to comfort her, while looking at the Minister's wife, took a deep breath and said:

"Jiaojiao, this is Mingyue's fault. Don't blame her. I'll ask her to apologize to you. Mingyue..."

The Shangshu's wife sneered, looked Shangshu Qian and Aunt Liu up and down, and said sarcastically:

"Apologize? What have I done wrong? You want the principal wife to apologize to her concubine? Qian Hongwen, are you planning to favor your concubine over your wife? You are so bold!"

The accusation of favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife was pinned on Minister Qian's head. If the censors knew about it, they would surely submit dozens of memorials to impeach him!

Minister Qian looked at Shen Qinglan with some fear. Seeing that Shen Qinglan just stood aside without saying anything, he gritted his teeth and said to the Minister's wife:

"Nangong Mingyue! Why are you always so tough? Why can't you be a little softer? Is it so difficult to admit your mistakes when you've done something wrong?"

"Being soft and conciliatory? Only your concubine can behave like that! I am the daughter of the great general of the cavalry, I have the responsibility if I dare to do it!"

"If I did it, then it's what I did. If it wasn't me, then you and your good friend Jiaojiao can't put the blame on me!"

When Shen Qinglan heard the Shangshu's wife say this, for some reason, a hint of pride appeared on his face!

At this moment, Shen Qinglan seemed to be able to imagine how free and easy the Shangshu's wife must have been before she got married!

Yes, even if the daughter of a general entered the imperial palace, how could she easily give up her former pride?

Minister Qian seemed to be stunned by the appearance of his wife. He stared at her blankly, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.

Aunt Liu, who was standing by, saw this and immediately took Minister Qian's hand, her voice choked with sobs and said with a hint of grievance:

"Master, forget it. Don't let me cause a quarrel between you and Madam. It is because of me and my child that I will be unlucky..."

"How could it be? How could my child and my woman be so unlucky? Your blessing is yet to come!"

When Minister Qian heard Aunt Liu crying, he immediately threw away the guilt he had just felt towards the Minister's wife and took Aunt Liu's hand to make a promise.

The Shangshu's wife was so angry when she saw the two of them that she could not help but sway and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Shen Qinglan grabbed the Shangshu's wife in time and pressed her hand on her Fengchi acupoint, preventing her from dying.

Looking at the Shangshu Madam who had recovered, Shen Qinglan gestured to Tao Hong who was hurrying in from the door and said:

"Sister, the overall situation is more important..."

After the Shangshu's wife recovered, she looked at Shen Qinglan with gratitude and thanked him softly, then looked at Taohong.

Seeing Tao Hong nodding slightly at her, she took a deep breath and taunted Minister Qian who was flirting with Aunt Liu:

"My Lord, don't you want to know the truth? Taohong, tell me."

Only then did Minister Qian and Aunt Liu look at Taohong who came in from outside the door.

Taohong came forward, bowed quickly, and asked the servant to push a tied-up maid up.

The moment the maid was pushed up, Aunt Liu's eyes changed slightly, and then she regained her composure, and just glanced lightly at her personal maid Qiuyue.

The interaction between the two was very secretive and no one else saw it.

Minister Qian just frowned and looked at Taohong and the maid behind her, frowning and said, "What do you mean?"

Taohong bowed, then spoke in an orderly manner:

"Sir, the bowl of bird's nest that Aunt Liu ate today did come from our Madam's small kitchen."

"However, I have asked someone to fetch the remaining bird's nests. The palace doctor has verified that the bird's nests in the small kitchen are not mixed with any peach kernels, musk, etc."

"If Aunt Liu concludes that the miscarriage was caused by the bird's nest, then it can only be proved that someone tampered with the bird's nest during its delivery!"

"The maid who delivered the bird's nest from our courtyard to Aunt Liu's was Liu Lu. However, when Liu Lu was halfway through delivering the bird's nest, she suffered from severe abdominal pain and happened to run into Zhi'er, a maid in Aunt Liu's room. She gave the bird's nest to Zhi'er."

Shen Qinglan listened to Tao Hong's clear and logical speech, and she told him the whole story in just a few words.

This directly cleared the suspicion on the Shangshu’s wife to a large extent!

It can be seen that Taohong is capable of getting things done.

Thinking of this, Shen Qinglan spoke up to defend the Shangshu Madam against Shangshu Qian:

"Minister Qian, although the Minister's wife is straightforward, she is not stupid. If she really wanted to harm this concubine, why would she use her own things to harm her so blatantly?"
