I saw two ladies in their thirties sitting in the middle of the room. Below them was an old woman, and to the left of the old woman sat another woman.The four women are all covered in silk and satin, and are adorned with jewels.Wu Guanting first nodded to the two ladies in the middle and saluted, then greeted the old woman and called: "Mom!" When the three ladies saw him coming in, they stood up early.
Wu Guanting's father Wu Sansheng was the former deputy prime minister of the cabinet, and his mother Chai Meiyan was revered as a queen.The eldest brother Wu Guanzhen serves as the commander-in-chief of the Northern War Zone, and is married to the third young master Lu Qingqing; the second brother Wu Guanlin is a Fujianese general, and is married to the eighth young master Lu Tingting.The third sister Wu Xi is the wife of the current queen Lu Jiacheng.Wu Sansheng's aunt Wu Xianhao is also the eighth first lady and the grandmother of the current prime minister.By this time Wu Sansheng and Wu Guanzhen had passed away.At that time, the Hengda Mansion was full of wealth and wealth, which was beyond the reach of the whole court.
The ladies sitting in the middle of the room are Wu Guanting's two sisters-in-law.The second sister-in-law, Lu Tingting, is well-spoken and good at serving others. She has been favored by her grandmother Wu Xianhao since she was a child. Every few days, she is summoned to Tongwan City to talk and relieve her boredom.The old woman was not young, but still quite beautiful. She was the wife of Wu Sansheng and the mother of Wu Guanting.Another noble lady is Wu Guanting’s wife Wang Huiwen.
Wu Guanting sat down on the chair at the west end and said, "Why don't the two sisters-in-law and mother rest at this late hour?" Chai Meiyan said, "Qingqing and Tingting were very happy when they heard that you had a child, and they were anxious to meet him." Wu Guanting glanced at Wang Huiwen, smiled slightly and said, "ThenThe woman is a figure in the world and has not yet learned the etiquette.I dare not let her come to see my sister-in-law and my mother." Lu Tingting said with a smile: "Isn't it good that the third child likes her?We don't want to see that woman either.Please ask someone to bring the two children to see her."
Wu Guanting was secretly proud, thinking that the Queen Mother would definitely like these two beautiful children when she saw them, so she ordered the nanny to go out and bring the two young gentlemen to her immediately.
Lu Tingting added: "I entered Tongwan City this morning. The Queen Mother said that the third child was sneaky. He gave birth to a child outside and did not find it for several years. He hid it from everyone. Be careful to skin you." Wu Guanting said with a smile: "I didn't know about these two children until last month."
After talking for a while, two nannies came in with the twin children.Wu Guanting ordered the two brothers to kowtow to Chai Meiyan, Lu Qingqing, Lu Tingting and Wang Huiwen.The two children were very obedient. Although they were sleepy-eyed, they still followed the instructions.
When several noble ladies saw that the two children looked the same, with round faces and delicate features, Lu Tingting clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Third brother, these children are from the same mold as you. You want to deny it, but you can't." Wang Huiwen was very angry about this matter, but these twins were really cute and couldn't help holding them in her arms, and they were really affectionate.Chai Meiyan, Lu Qingqing, and Lu Tingting each had gifts for meeting.The two nannies supported the child and kept thanking him.
Lu Qingqing, Lu Tingting and Wang Huiwen talked for a while and then left together.
Chai Meiyan called the nanny behind her and said, "Go and tell Yue that Taijun likes these children very much and will leave them to sleep with grandma tonight so that she doesn't have to wait for his two brothers." The nanny agreed.Chai Meiyan opened the drawer on the side of the table, took out a gold pot studded with gems, put it on the table, and said, "Take this pot of ginseng soup and give it to her, saying that Taijun will take good care of her children, so that she can rest assured!" Wu Guanting was holding a bowl of tea in his hand. When he heard this, his face changed drastically, his hands trembled, and a large amount of tea spilled out and splashed on his robe. He held the teacup in silence for a long time.The nanny took the gold pot, put it in a gold lacquer suitcase, and carried it away.Wu Guanting stretched out his right hand, as if to stop her, but seeing his mother's serious expression, he lowered his hand and stopped moving.
At this time, the two children were so tired that they were about to fall asleep and kept shouting: "Mom, mom, I want mom." Chai Meiyan said, "Don't make any noise, good kid, and follow grandma. Grandma will give you Tangtang and Cake Cake to eat." The two children cried, "No Tangtang, Cake Cake! No grandma! Mum!" Chai Meiyan's face sank, and she waved her hand to order the nanny to take the child away. With a wink, everyone left, leaving only Wu Guanting and her son in the room.
After a long while, the mother and son never exchanged a word. Chai Meiyan stared at her son.Wu Guanting looked away, not daring to meet his mother's eyes.
After a long time, Wu Guanting sighed and said, "Mom, why can't you tolerate her?" Chai Meiyan said, "Then there's no need to ask. This woman is a logistics worker, wields a knife and a spear, and is a master of martial arts. We have two young princes in our house, how can we live with such people? Have you forgotten about the famous prostitute in Kaifeng and the Kazakh girl? We will have trouble sleeping and eating if such a snake-like woman is between our elbows and armpits."
Wu Guanting thought about Liu Qiongyao and Gu Huien, and said dejectedly: "Mom's words are certainly good. I didn't want to take her into the house at first. I just sent someone to have a look and give her some money. Who knew she actually gave birth to two sons, who are my own flesh and blood, so that's different."
Chai Meiyan nodded and said, "You are already in your forties and have nothing to do, so it will be great to have these two children. If we raise these two children well, they will live a prosperous and prosperous life, and their mother will have peace of mind."
Wu Guanting pondered for a long time, then whispered: "What I mean is to send that woman to the border area and never see each other again. That's fine. I didn't expect you, mother..." Chai Meiyan's face darkened and she said, "It's useless for you to join the political secrets. You can't even think of the benefits. Her biological child is in our house, how can she not cause trouble? This kind of woman in the world can do anything if she sets her heart." Wu Guanting nodded.Chai Meiyan said: "You have done your best by ordering her to be buried with dignity..." Wu Guanting nodded again and agreed: "Yes!"
The more Min Jiageng listened outside the window, the more frightened he became. At first, he did not know what the words of his mother and son meant. But when he heard the words "a rich burial", he was shocked. He thought to himself: "It turns out that his mother and son are so vicious. They set up a conspiracy to take away the child and even tried to kill Sister Qing. This matterThe emergency is so extreme that we can't wait for a moment.Before the poisonous plan between the two of them is launched, we must immediately inform Sister Qing and rescue her from the house overnight." He walked out quietly and followed the original path back to the water pavilion. Fortunately, it was a quiet night and no one was walking in the garden, and the guard who was killed was not noticed yet.
Min Jiageng walked very fast, but he hesitated in his heart: "Sister Qing fell in love with Wu Guanting at first sight. The two of them met again after a long separation, and they were so passionate about each other. How could they be willing to escape from the house just after hearing my words? How can I convince her that she believes it?"
Before the plan was decided, before arriving at the water pavilion, I saw four more guards outside the door. I thought: "Humph, they have already laid down people to prevent her from escaping!" I didn't dare to be alarmed at that moment, so I walked around to the back of the pavilion, jumped over the pool of water outside the water pavilion, and saw that the lights in the pavilion were still on. I looked over and looked through the window crack, and I couldn't help but be stunned.
Yue Qing was seen lying on the ground, holding her belly and moaning, her hair was messy, her face was pale and green, and none of the nannies who were serving her were around.Min Jiageng suddenly realized: "Oh, no! It's too late after all!" He hurriedly pushed the window open and leaned over to look, and saw that she was breathing heavily and her eyes were red, as if they were about to bleed.
When Yue Qing saw Min Jiageng coming over, he said intermittently: "I...I...have a stomachache...Min...you..." After mentioning the word "you", he could no longer say anything.Min Jiageng whispered in her ear: "What did you eat just now?" Yue Qing looked at a gold pot studded with red and sapphires on the coffee table, but was speechless.
Min Jiageng recognized this golden pot. It was Chai Meiyan who filled the ginseng soup and ordered the nanny to give it to her to drink. He thought: "This old woman is very scheming. She wants to kill Sister Qing, but wants to keep the two children, so she called the children first and then brought the ginseng soup. Otherwise, Sister Qing would have given her son some ginseng soup when she got it and knew it was a tonic.Mouth." Then he thought: "Well, Wu Guanting's expression changed immediately when he saw the ginseng soup being poured out, and the tea was splashed on his clothes.He obviously knew that the ginseng soup was poisoned, but he didn't try to stop it, and he didn't come to save him afterward.Although he didn't poison it himself, he couldn't help but murmured: "What a vicious heart!"
Yue Qing struggled and said: "You... you... go and report... the minister... ask the doctor... ask the doctor to take a look..." Min Jiageng thought to himself: "If I want Wu Guanting to ask a doctor, I can only ask you to take more poison. Now I have to ask Shengsheng to try to rescue him." He lifted up a chair shawl, wrapped the golden pot containing the ginseng soup, and put it in his arms. Hearing that there was no movement outside the water pavilion, he picked up Yue Qing and jumped out of the window gently.Yue Qing was startled and shouted: "Min..." Min Jiageng hurriedly put his hand to her mouth and whispered: "Be silent, I will take you to see a doctor." Yue Qing said: "My child..."
