Chapter 998 Eye of Luck
If it hadn't been for Xiaoyan, she wouldn't have been able to escape, and she and Mu Zhan would have died long ago.
Therefore, she was both afraid and resentful towards Xia Zihan.
"How come Concubine Rong Shi doesn't take it, but she has doubts about my medical skills?" Seeing her delay in taking the pills, Xia Zihan said deliberately, causing the ladies present to be dissatisfied with Eva.
"Princess Chu Yu's medical skills are not even comparable to those of the imperial doctors at the imperial hospital. Concubine Rong Shi is lucky enough to get the pills from the princess. Why don't you take them? This is a panacea." said the old lady of the Wang family.
Xia Ziqing, who was accompanying her, saw her mother-in-law praising her second sister, so she looked at Xia Zihan with envy and said, "The pills made by my second sister are better than those in pharmacies on the market. Your brother-in-law was infected with cold last time. The bottle of pills you gave me , your brother-in-law only took two pills and was completely cured. Two days ago, my mother wrote a letter saying that my grandmother has been very noisy these days and she has back pain. I want to ask my second sister if she has any good pills and how much they cost. ”
Originally, she wanted to say that she would give the money to buy the pills, but firstly, her mother-in-law was nearby, so she was embarrassed to say it clearly, and secondly, although the second sister's pills were very effective, they were all precious medicinal materials, and each bottle The pills were priceless, and if she really wanted to buy them, she might not have that much money.
So, when the words came to her lips, she choked them back.
Xia Zihan said, "Sister, we are a family. If you don't sell it, I'll make some more for my eldest aunt tomorrow when I have time."
"Then thank you second sister." Xia Ziqing blushed a little for Xiao Jiujiu in her heart.
Xia Zihan makes a lot of money, so he doesn't care about the money at all. In front of everyone, Xia Zihan will not be shameless enough to accept money from his eldest aunt.
"Thank you, but I see that the eldest sister looks a little pale. Did she not have a good rest these days?" Xia Zihan said.
Xia Ziqing looked stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said with an embarrassed blush, "In the past few days, no matter how much I eat at night, I will wake up hungry every midnight. After eating some snacks, I will turn over. I couldn’t sleep because I was turning over it.”
"You kid, why didn't you tell your mother?"
Mrs. Wang gave her a reproachful look, and then said to Xia Zihan worriedly, "Princess Chuyu, come quickly and take your eldest sister's pulse to see what's wrong with your eldest sister's health."
"Well, don't be anxious, madam. I'll check your sister's pulse in a moment." After Xia Zihan finished speaking, he looked at Eva who was looking for an excuse to escape, "Concubine Rongshi, it's best to take out this pill within a quarter of an hour. Eat it, otherwise, the effect will be half.”
When Eva heard this, she couldn't help but take this pill.
She picked up the pills, thinking that Xia Zihan was not a fool and would not poison her in public.
Otherwise, these ladies would be witnesses.
Eva would not have thought that the next day, she would regret her wrong idea.
Eva took the pills in public, and Xia Zihan generously gave the remaining pills in the pill bottle to Eva.
She said, "Just take one more at night."
Eva thanked her profusely, but she was always wary of Xia Zihan.
The corner of Xia Zihan's mouth raised slightly, and a smile came from deep in her heart. After she checked Xia Ziqing's pulse, the smile on her face became even brighter, "Congratulations to my eldest sister. In another eight and a half months, my eldest sister will have another baby." Become a mother.”
"What are you talking about? You mean...I'm pregnant?" Xia Ziqing's face was filled with disbelief. Then, her eyes turned red with excitement, she covered her face and cried with joy.
Mrs. Wang was also so happy that she forgot all about it. She quickly stood up and pulled her daughter-in-law to sit beside her. "Oh, why are you crying? This is a good thing and a great event. Your belly has been shrinking in the past few years since you gave birth to your eldest son. Nothing happened, now I’m finally pregnant, you have to be happy.”
Mrs. Wang was so happy that she forgot that Prince Anjun was having a funeral and she couldn't be overjoyed. It was only when a lady beside her reminded her quietly that she closed her grin again. Xia Ziqing choked up and said, "Mom, I am happy, I...I am very excited."
Why isn't she excited? Since she gave birth to her eldest son, she has been pregnant with another child. However, she accidentally slipped while walking, and her belly has been silent ever since.
Both she and her husband were looking forward to having more children, but there was no movement in their stomachs. Both she and her husband went from high hopes to disappointment.
She thought she would only have one child in this life, but she didn't expect that she would be pregnant at this time.
Why didn't this make her cry with joy?
Seeing that her daughter-in-law was so excited that she could hardly speak, the old lady decided worriedly, "Since you are pregnant, don't follow the boss to take up the post this time. The road is bumpy. What if something happens again?" What to do.”
Xia Ziqing's husband, Young Master Wang, was transferred to a foreign post three years ago, and his official rank has climbed to the fifth rank. Because he was a foreign minister and a minor official of the fifth rank, the young couple did not have to mourn the queen.
Xia Ziqing learned that she could not go to office with her husband, and the couple would be separated. Moreover, if she did not go to office with her husband, she would have to arrange for a maid to go to office to take care of him, and this maid...
When she thought that her husband had to be accompanied by his aunt, but she could only stay in the capital to give birth to the child, the joy in her heart was like being poured a basin of cold water on her, and it suddenly became extremely cold.
She managed a smile and nodded in agreement, not daring to disobey her mother-in-law's decision in front of outsiders.
Next, a group of ladies came to congratulate Mrs. Wang, turning a funeral banquet into a party like a wedding.
Eva also took advantage of the chaos and sneaked out of the door.
Xia Zihan glanced at him and quickly gave Chu Cong a wink. Chu Cong nodded slightly and followed quietly.
Eva is not familiar with Prince Anjun's Mansion at all, but she can understand Feng Shui and see through Prince Anjun's fortune.
The feng shui of Jian'an County Prince's Mansion is good, and the luck is also very strong. Counting from Chu Jingqi's generation, it can still be prosperous for at least six generations.
After Eva followed the feng shui arranged by Prince Anjun's Mansion, she finally sneaked into the flower room, looking for the Eye of Luck in Prince Anjun's Mansion, intending to destroy it.
Once the eye of luck is destroyed, the luck of Prince Na'an County will also reach Chu Xuanyu's generation.
Starting from Chu Jingqi's generation, it will be unlucky.
Eva sneaked into the flower room, and when she was about to follow the Feng Shui and chase her to Yuqiong Garden, she saw that there were still a group of guests in the flower room.
And Eva happened to break into the sight of this group of guests.
"Hey, who is this daughter-in-law? Why haven't I seen her before?" asked the third wife of the Dou family.
She looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "I... well, I saw how beautiful this place is, so I wanted to come in and take a stroll."
