The baby-making system is unreliable

The next day, two embarrassing incidents occurred in Xuzhou. The news spread wildly in restaurants and teahouses, saying that Miss Wu, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, was beaten for no apparent reason and hung outside the gate of the charity cemetery in Xuzhou City.

It is said that when the young lady was found, she was frozen cold all over and her face was purple and blue, obviously having been left alone all night in the autumn.

The second incident was about Miss He Er, the second daughter of the Ministry of Revenue and Finance. She was found in the Baijing Lake in the morning. It seemed that she was pushed into the lake and stayed there for a long time.

Because it took too long, she couldn't float, and she drank too much water, so now she is asleep and she probably won't wake up for a while.

However, Yun Xirou didn't care about these. Her mind was full of ideas about making money, but what she had to do now was to go see her sister-in-law.

Yun Xirou was heading towards her eldest sister-in-law Zou Fenjin's residence, but she saw someone running in a panic on the road, as if something had happened.

"What happened?! Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?!" After receiving a signal from Yun Xirou, Liu An stopped a maid who was running away and asked, "How can you be so flustered?! What do you want to say? Please tell me clearly!"

The girl lowered her head, the corners of her eyes were a little red, and there were some tears on her face. This girl looked familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before?

"The eldest young lady... was a little bumped, and accidentally exposed her blood. I'm going to ask the doctor."

By the way, this girl is Miss Yujin from my eldest sister-in-law’s courtyard. It seems that what she said is true.

When Yun Xirou heard this, she was shocked, frowned, and rushed into the house as fast as the wind.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw her second cousin Yun Yuxi standing in front of the screen with a panicked and innocent expression on her face, scolding her personal maid.

"You foolish girl, how dare you bump into my cousin's sister-in-law! How can you be so careless? Do you want to die? Don't you know that my cousin's sister-in-law is pregnant now?"

Yun Yuxi's voice was extremely sharp and piercing, as if it could penetrate a person's eardrum, causing everyone around them to frown.

"If you accidentally hurt my cousin's wife and the baby in her belly, I will punish you! Your life is not enough."

Yun Xirou, who was standing aside, felt her ears buzzing from the high-decibel shouting, and subconscious anger rushed to her head.

Her second cousin did a great job. Not only did she join outsiders in making fun of her yesterday, but today she came to contradict her sister-in-law. She is really a busy person.

"Enough!! Is this interesting?!" Yun Xirou looked at her coldly, as if she could see through her thoughts at a glance. It was obvious that she was targeting her sister-in-law.

I'm afraid it was the idea of ​​her grandmother, Madam Ru. Madam Ru was her grandfather's concubine. She entered the Yun Mansion with a big belly and gave birth to a son, who is now the first wife, Yun Yinming.

Yun Xirou's grandmother, Madam Lin, was often laughed at at that time. The wife's legitimate son had not been born yet, but the concubine became pregnant and came to the house first.

Later, Madam Lin was always thinking about Nanping and was depressed for many years. She died not long after giving birth to Yun Futian.

Old Madam Ru was not having an easy time either. Although she caused the early death of Grandmother Lin, her own son has also passed away.

Yun Yinming is the father of the second cousin in front of you. In his early years, he was a man who indulged in drinking, gambling, whoring and entertainment. He often spent a lot of money. He was a man who only knew how to spend money but not how to make money.

Later, he actually brought a beautiful girl named Qiniang home and made a big fuss, saying that he wanted to divorce his wife directly and make Qiniang his legal wife.

The first house was in turmoil in the past few years. Although my aunt Shi was not divorced, she was never treated well and went to the mountains to practice asceticism with her newborn third daughter.

After Shi left, Qiniang became even more presumptuous. She was promoted to concubine by Yun Yinming and gave birth to a fifth younger brother.

Qiniang thought she had a chance to be promoted to the main wife, but Yun Yinming was so happy about the birth of his youngest son that he went out to drink with his friends. But on his way home at night, he fell off his horse while drunk and was kicked to death by the horse.

Old Madam Ru was originally happy to have a grandson, but when she heard the news that her son had fallen off a horse and died, she became so angry that she fainted again and again.

The old man sent the young man away, and the happy event turned into a funeral. In this way, Qi Niang's wish to become the wife of the emperor was shattered, and she had to rely on her fifth brother to survive all day long.

As a result, Old Madam Ru couldn't stand seeing Qi Niang anymore, but thinking that she still had to take care of her grandson, she let her go.

It’s just that Old Madam Ru doesn’t like even her fifth brother very much. She would occasionally show concern for him out of family affection, but she prefers having her second cousin to serve her all day long.

There are only two families in the Yun family now. Old Madam Ru's hope rests on her little grandson, so she naturally doesn't want her sister-in-law to give birth to the child safely.

Yun Xirou glanced at Yun Yuxi lightly, and her beautiful face did not change at all.

She opened her red lips slightly, her voice was clear but a little cold, "If Second Sister wants to scold the girl, she really shouldn't choose this place. Sister-in-law's yard should be a quiet place. Such a noise might disturb the peace of eldest sister-in-law."

Hearing this, the arrogance on Yun Yuxi's face froze instantly, and was replaced by a look of surprise. Even her mouth was slightly open, as if she had seen something incredible.

She stared at Yun Yurou with eyes wide open in disbelief, and stammered, "You...you are not mute anymore!?"

"..." Yun Xirou ignored her without saying a word, and flashed into the inner room first.

As soon as she stepped into the inner room, her eyes fell directly on the bed.

I saw Sister Zou lying there quietly, her face as pale as paper and her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.

At this moment, her originally gentle hands subconsciously tightly protected her bulging belly, as if she wanted to use all her strength to protect the little life in her belly.

"It hurts... No! No! My child... Please, save my child..." Zou Fenjin's paper-pale lips opened slightly, and he murmured weakly and desperately.

It seemed as if she had used up all her strength to say every word, which made people feel pity for her and worry for her.

At this moment, the bedding beneath her was already soaked with sweat, and her once charming face had lost its former luster, replaced by a face full of pain and haggardness.

On the side of the bed, her personal maid Yu Lu was watching with a worried look on her face, not daring to leave for a moment.

Yu Lu was seen holding Zou Fenjin's hand tightly, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes, but she was trying hard not to let them fall.

From time to time, she gently wiped the sweat off Zou Fenjin's forehead with a wet cloth, and whispered to her in a soothing voice, "Miss, you must hold on! The doctor will be here soon, and the young master will be fine."

However, despite Yu Lu's constant encouragement and comfort, Zou Fenjin's condition did not improve at all.

"Fourth Miss!? What are you doing? You can't do anything rash at this time?!" Under Yu Lu's surprised eyes, Yun Xirou walked to Zhu Fenjin's bed and fed her a pill to preserve the pregnancy.

Then, Yun Xirou subconsciously felt her pulse and saw that it was getting better. She thought to herself that it was a good thing that she was prepared.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that by the time the doctor comes here today, the child will really be in danger. Moreover, if she has a miscarriage at this age, it will cause even greater harm to her body.

"I would never murder my own nephew. It would be best if a doctor comes to take a look." After saying this, Yun Xirou seemed to have turned into the quiet Fourth Miss again.

Yu Lu was skeptical at first, but when she saw that her young lady was in better condition, with no more cold sweat on her forehead and no longer crying out in pain, she felt relieved.

Half an hour later, the doctor Yu Jin had invited finally arrived and hurriedly took her pulse. The doctor said, "Strange, the madam's fetus is fine. It seems that she has taken an excellent medicine to preserve the fetus?!"

"Thank you, doctor, for prescribing some more medicine to protect the young lady's pregnancy, so that we can rest assured." Yu Jin bowed slightly, and his sincere words were full of worry. He always put his young lady first in everything.

The doctor nodded after hearing this, then picked up the pen and wrote down several prescriptions on the paper in a flamboyant manner. After finishing, he looked up at Yu Jin and the people who were waiting anxiously, and gave a few more instructions out of concern.

"This medicine must be taken on time, and the dosage must not be increased or decreased at will. Miss should also rest in bed more often on weekdays and avoid overwork. She should pay more attention to her diet and avoid spicy and greasy foods..."

After the doctor had finished explaining everything, Yu Jin hurriedly thanked him and personally escorted the doctor out the door. This "chaos" finally came to an end.

When everything was arranged, Yun Xirou finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had the energy to pay attention to her second cousin who came to "visit".

"Fourth sister, I...I have already punished that girl. It's all my fault...I didn't teach my personal maid well."

Yun Yuxi sat in the hall, looking at her fourth sister beside her. She smiled awkwardly at Yun Xirou and said, "Fortunately, my sister-in-law and nephew are fine. It's really great. Otherwise, this girl would have committed a serious crime."

"Oh! Really?! I hope second sister really thinks so, and doesn't blame me." Yun Xirou didn't even want to look at her. She sat at the top with a sneer, looking at the maid who had been kneeling in the hall.

"Second sister is right. How dare you, a little girl, offend your master? Where did you learn the rules?!" Since she dared to do it, there must be someone to back her up, otherwise how could a little girl have the courage? !

"I dare not, it was my carelessness." Although the girl said this, she looked more at Yun Yuxi, as if she did not take Yun Xirou seriously.

Has she made up her mind and thinks Yun Yirou can't be her master? Yes, the Yun family has servants with families and children, but most of the servants are hired. This girl's household registration is mostly good citizens, not slaves.

Yun Yurou refused to let her go. She took a sip of tea and said, "Although my Yun family is a merchant family and most of the servants in my family are hired, who can accommodate a girl like you? "

"Fourth sister, Chunshi is someone I'm used to having. She must have realized her mistake this time." Yun Yuxi covered her face with a handkerchief, half smiling and looking a little embarrassed, as if she was ready to protect Chunshi.

"In that case, in my opinion, it's better to just give him a light punishment and a stern warning." Yun Yuxi said this lightly. Her nonchalant attitude was really eye-catching. She was really shameless and it was obvious that she did it on purpose.

Yun Xirou was not so easy to talk to. When she heard her sister's words, her eyebrows raised and her face was full of anger.

She refused to give him face and kept insisting, "That won't do. You should find someone else to deal with a maid who offends the master like this! Otherwise, she will stay in the mansion and continue to cause trouble!"

"Fourth sister, this is the girl who has always been serving me. Even if she has done something wrong, please give me some face for the sake of my sister!"

As Yun Yuxi spoke, she gently covered her face with her hands, and her shoulders trembled slightly. She looked so pitiful.

Her tears slid down her fair cheeks like beads that had broken off the string, dripping onto her lapels, instantly leaving a small dark mark.

"Second sister, this is all for your own good. If such a careless girl serves you and offends you in the future like she did today, it will be no small matter."

Yun Xirou was seen sitting there steadily with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. She actually exuded a kind of majestic aura that was hard to ignore, causing Yun Yuxi who was standing beside her to be a little dazed for a moment.

After hearing this, Yun Yuxi's face suddenly changed, and she asked with her eyes wide open: "I thought Fourth Sister was a submissive and docile person, but was her original submissiveness just an act?!"

The more she spoke, the more indignant she became, and her voice unconsciously became louder.

Then, Yun Yuxi continued to scold aggressively: "You usually don't say a word, so people really think that Fourth Sister can't speak and is a mute?!"

However, facing Yun Yuxi's accusations and questioning, Yun Xirou did not show any fear or intention of retreating.

Instead, she straightened her back and responded calmly, "Everyone has their own temper. If you don't have a temper, you will be bullied, right?!"

"Not speaking doesn't make people think you're dumb. The key is what you did. If you did something bad, you'd have to worry about ghosts coming to your door at night!"

Yun Yirou sneered as she finished speaking. Seeing that she didn't look well, she thought that she was just a teenage girl, how could she not be afraid? !

"Someone, drag this girl out and sell her off." Yun Xirou looked at Chun Shi lying on the ground and shouted angrily, "So what if she's a good citizen? She's trying to murder someone, and she'll die if you report her to the government."

In short, she would never let this Chun Shi go. She would either sell her or kill her directly.

Just then, someone suddenly came in. It was an old lady in burnt brown clothes, with wrinkles and age spots all over her face. She walked into the room with a stern face.

"Young ladies, the old lady wants to see you. She said Fenjin needs to rest. Young ladies, please don't disturb her."

Nanny Sun came at a perfect time. Old Madam Ru came to protect her granddaughter.
