Chapter 775 Caught off guard
It was her first time to have a baby, and she was pregnant with twins. The chance of dystocia for twins was hundreds of times higher than for one child. She was also afraid when giving birth, but she didn't dare to say that at that time, Aqi was more pregnant than she was. Scared, if she said she was scared, Aqi would comfort her, but what about Aqi? Who would comfort his fear.
At that time, she missed her grandmother very much. She thought that if her grandmother were here, she would definitely tell her not to be afraid.
Aqi is a man, and this is the first time he has seen such a scene. He himself is scared to death. Even if he comforts her, how much can he comfort her?
However, she was deeply moved when she thought about Aqi's face turning pale at that time, as if she might faint at any time.
"Aqi, I will take good care of myself and be able to visit my grandma soon," she said.
"Well, we need to eat more. You didn't eat at lunch, so you need to eat an extra bowl at night." Chu Jingqi rubbed her delicate cheeks. The skin was so tender that he couldn't bear to move his hands.
"Also, what happened today will never happen again in the future." His face was extremely solemn, serious, and cold, but his hands were not the same. If he could eat Xia Zihan's tofu, he would eat it with all his heart. .
After kneading it for a few more times, he reluctantly took his hand back.
Xia Zihan pursed her lips and glanced at him.
"Has the murderer been found?" After she woke up, she hadn't asked this yet.
It’s been almost a day, should there be a clue?
Sure enough, Chu Jingqi nodded, "I know who the other party is, but I haven't caught him yet."
"Hey, aren't you from our house?" Xia Zihan was very surprised and moved his body and sat up a little higher.
"Yeah, but that person was very cunning. He used the hand of the maid in the kitchen to sneak into Yuqiongyuan. Even the name he told the maid was false." Chu Jingqi said.
"Kitchen maid? Who, which one?"
"The fire-burning girl named Jiuqi."
"Is it her?" She still remembered that girl, when she first moved into Yuqiongyuan, she was assigned to light the fire in the small kitchen, but she looked reluctant, as if she looked down on her and overused her talents.
Xia Zihan was surprised, "Is it related to 1997?"
"She brought the person into Yuqiongyuan."
On weekdays, the guards in Yuqiong Garden are very tight. After Xia Zihan became pregnant, the guards in Yuqiong Garden were even tighter. The front and back gates were guarded twelve hours a day. There were no people inside to lead the people outside. Can't get in at all.
"So, that maid took the opportunity to add Panax notoginseng to my medicine?" Xia Zihan said with cold eyes.
Before, when she drank medicine, she put a piece of plum in her mouth to dilute the bitter taste of the medicine. Then she drank it all in one gulp, very quickly, leaving little bitter taste in her mouth, so she didn't notice the taste of the medicine. The smell changed, and when she was bleeding profusely, she realized that someone had tampered with her soup.
Otherwise, it was such a coincidence that she didn't bleed heavily earlier and later, but it happened only after Aqi left Prince Anjun's mansion.
Before the hemorrhage, her body was not the same and everything was fine. However, soon after she drank the decoction, something went wrong with her body, and she immediately suspected that her decoction had been tampered with.
Sure enough, her guess was right.
Chu Jingqi hummed, "I will lock up Jiuqi and deal with it after catching the murderer." Of course, the punishment he mentioned was not to kill Jiuqi happily. Since he had promised not to kill her, he would not go back on his word. However, he had already asked Manager Wang to contact a coal mine in the northwest and planned to sell her to the coal mine to work as a kiln girl.
There are many deep mountains and old forests in the northwest, and there are countless coal mines. The miners working in the coal mines rarely see many women all year round. Some employers will buy a few women and throw them into the coal mines in order to keep the miners working energetically. , miners are free to torture | play.
Women who are sold into coal mines usually don't live more than three days, and even if they are in good health, they don't live more than five days.
No woman can persist in staying up for five days and five nights to serve a man.
When Xia Zihan heard what Chu Jingqi said, she would not plead for Jiuqi. She was not a kind-hearted person who could forgive someone who wanted to kill her. She only said, "When the murderer is caught, I want to see her."< br>
Chu Jingqi hummed.
The maid came to report that Mr. Zhuo and the two wives of the Zhuo family came.
Chu Jingqi frowned in displeasure and ordered the maid to let them in.
Mrs. Zhuo rushed to Xia Zihan's bed and saw that she was already awake. Tears fell from her eyes, "My poor Ayu, you have suffered."
Fortunately, Ayu is fine. If Ayu dies, Aqi will also lose his head. If the Chu family loses Aqi, the rest of their family will have to cry to death.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhuo felt extremely resentful towards the murderer who wanted to put Xia Zihan to death. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "The murderer who suffered a thousand cuts hurt you like this, and she will not die well, and there will be retribution. Fortunately, my Ayu He is lucky enough to have escaped death. Otherwise, what will happen to my Chu family? If I know who he is and catch him, I will definitely cut him into pieces, cut him into pieces, and throw his body into the wild..."< br>
Snap...
Before Zhuo's words came out, there was a loud smashing sound in the room. Everyone looked around and saw that a cup from Xia Zihan's favorite Ladies' Group Mist Painted Glazed Tea Set had been broken. The corpse was lying on the ground in thousands of pieces, divided into five pieces.
She brought the tea set back from the northwest. There were eight pieces in the tea set, which cost her more than 1,200 taels of silver. One cup cost more than ten taels of silver. One tea set broke a cup, so this tea set was Defective product, incomplete and unusable.
From now on, she won’t be able to use it anymore.
Xia Zihan felt very distressed.
More than a thousand taels of silver were wasted like this. If it had been broken by another person, she would not be so distressed. However, it happened to be Mrs. Yuan, whom she didn't like very much, and she was speechless.
Can’t even hold a cup?
Mrs. Yuan stared at the pile of debris on the ground, a little caught off guard.
When she felt that everyone's eyes were focused on her, she raised her head, looked at Xia Zihan, and smiled sheepishly, "Daughter-in-law Aqi, I'm so sorry, I...my hand slipped and I couldn't hold it. , how much money does this tea set cost? Auntie will give you the money to buy another one.”
Can she accept the money?
Why didn't she say that she would buy a set to compensate her?
Xia Zihan was angry in her heart, but she smiled politely and said, "It's just a tea set. Besides, my aunt didn't break it on purpose. It was accidentally numb. It's everywhere."
The last sentence was somewhat sarcastic. Mrs. Yuan deliberately pretended not to understand and said with admiration, "I know that Aqi's wife is a broad-minded person and not so petty. Next time you go to my aunt's house." , Auntie will give you a tea set. There is also a very beautiful dowry tea set in aunt's warehouse. I have not been able to use it myself in these years. When you go, aunt will give it to you. "
