The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby

Everyone in the room, except Madam Liang, greeted the girls. The maids quickly moved stools, poured tea, and arranged for the girls to sit down. Hua Xiyu finally changed from his previous mode of listening to the lecture obediently without saying a word to a state of staring at people curiously.

Liang stood up, and Hua Xiyi thought she was going to leave.

"Qianyu, this is your second uncle's half-sister Ziqi." Liang pulled one of the girls over and asked her to come forward to greet him. "You two played together when you were little."

Hua Ziqi bowed to her elder sister very obediently. She hated the word "bastard" the most in her life, but her aunt never forgot to remind her, "It's great that elder sister can come back. In the future, we sisters can still play like before." She took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, took Hua Xiyu's hand and was about to put it on her, "Elder sister, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I don't have anything good to give you. This bracelet was given to me by my grandmother. Give it to you as a gift."

Hua Xiyu looked at her wrist with the bracelet on it, which was so inconsistent with her watch. Apparently Hua Ziqi had also seen it, "Sister, what is this?"

She glared at her without saying anything, and Hua Ziqi retreated unhappily.

Then, another girl came forward, "Qianyu, this is your fourth sister, Jiayi"

Hua Jiayi stepped forward, took out a hairpin from her head and was about to put it into Hua Xiyu's head. Hua Xiyu turned his head away, and Jiayi's hand holding the hairpin stopped, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Fourth Miss, I will keep it for the eldest lady." Qingxing immediately stepped forward and took the hairpin from Jiayi's hand, and bowed respectfully, which made Hua Jiayi feel better.

"Sister, mother missed you so much during the years you were away, and your elder and second brothers also often talked about you. Now that you are back, the family is reunited, and the house will be lively from now on."

This idiot has made no progress over the years, and all his displeasure is shown on his face. Humph, it would be fine if you didn't come back, but since you have come back, I will slowly take revenge for you. Just wait and see, you will suffer.

"This is my aunt's cousin, Fangru. She has been raised in our house since she was a child and will marry out of our house in the future." Liang pulled another girl over to introduce her.

"Cousin, I don't have anything good. This sachet was sewed by me, and the spices inside were mixed from a famous spice shop in the city. I hope you don't mind." Qin Fangru took out the sachet from her sleeve pocket and handed it over. Qingxing hurriedly helped her young lady accept it.

"Qianyu, this 500 taels of silver is your gift to you. I have to worry about the affairs of this mansion, and I'm afraid I can't take care of everything for you. If you need anything, just go buy it yourself." Liang straightened her sleeves and waved to the outside. A maid came in with a tray. The silver ingots were neatly arranged on the tray. They looked like soldiers lined up in an orderly manner, which was very beautiful.

"Come back and tell mother when you run out of money. Okay, you sisters have a good talk. I'm leaving first." Liang's reason for coming here was over. She walked out with a group of servants.

This matter was done very well, and there was nothing wrong with the words, but it sounded like, I'm giving you money to spend, do with it what you want, I'm busy.

Hua Xiyu thought so in his heart and couldn't help but look at Liang again, "Is this my biological mother? I'm afraid she is my stepmother."

Then, Liang, who had just walked out of the door, stopped and gave instructions, "By the way, Aunt Zhang, ask the court doctor to check on the young lady later, so that she doesn't get any chronic illness."

Well, it sounds like she is very concerned, but it feels wrong. Shouldn't the biological mother first check with a doctor and make sure that everything is fine before feeling relieved?

Which mother would entrust her child's health to someone else's hands?

All the girls stood up to see him off, and Hua Xiyu also stood up symbolically. With those thoughts in his mind, it felt a bit awkward to do it, but he still did this face-saving job to follow the crowd.

Qingxing accepted the silver and bowed to thank the lady. Hua Xiyu just bowed and said nothing. This attitude made the three girls present a little dissatisfied. The maids serving in the room were also a little surprised. How could a young lady be so rude to the lady?

Liang didn't care. There was not even a trace of embarrassment on her face. She just walked away as if she hadn't seen anything.

All the neglect and indifference are the most hurtful.

As soon as Liang left, the girls became like pets without their leashes, putting away their cuteness and innocence and revealing their ferocious true colors.

"Sister, you fell asleep as soon as you came back. You don't know that you are famous now," Hua Ziqi said, trying to grab her sister's hand to show affection. Hua Xiyu dodged away without leaving a trace. She didn't like it because she was so close to her, which was beyond the comfort level between people.

"Yes, cousin, please tell us about Shuiyue Temple," Qin Fangru on the side also joined in.

"Do you think Shuiyue Temple is a good place? Do you want your elder sister to recall those hard days?" Hua Jiayi stood up, interrupted the two of them, and then bowed to Hua Xiyu. "My elder sister just came back. I won't disturb her to rest." After saying that, she raised her leg and walked out. Hua Ziqi and Qin Fangru hurriedly followed.

Qingxing saw them off at the door and said, "Second Miss, Fourth Miss, Cousin, my young lady just came back and I haven't had time to prepare return gifts. I will return gifts to you young ladies in a couple of days when your lady is better."

With the money, you can buy some sachets, handkerchiefs, hairpins, etc. without spending much.

Hua Xiyu didn't say a word from beginning to end, just watching the three girls act. What did Hua Ziqi want to say but didn't say? It was nothing more than a mocking remark. I think that being famous is not a good name. Qin Fangru really wanted to humiliate her. Since Shuiyue Temple is not a good place, as Jiayi said, what is there to reminisce about.

But Jiayi's words were the most heartbreaking. She told everyone directly that her eldest sister grew up in Shuiyue Temple and asked others not to mention it. This made things even more obvious, which made people imagine things, and not good ones.

The three girls walked out of Liushuang Courtyard with mocking faces, "So what if she is the eldest daughter? She's still like a fool, and acts like she has never seen the world." Hua Ziqi despised them in her heart.

"Isn't he said to be very arrogant and domineering? Why doesn't he say a word?" Hua Jiayi was thinking to herself.

"Cousin, Princess Anping is having her birthday party in a couple of days. Does my eldest cousin want to go too?" Qin Fangru asked carefully.

She wanted her eldest cousin to go, because if her eldest cousin went, she would definitely become the focus of those noble ladies, and then she, the cousin, would be relieved.

"Why are you going? We are just coming back from Shuiyue Temple, we are not worth being laughed at. It will bring shame to us sisters," Hua Ziqi said angrily.

"The eldest sister is the legitimate daughter of our family, so of course she has to go." After hearing what Hua Jiayi said, the other two were silent.

Speaking of which, Jiayi was originally the most honorable daughter of the eldest house. Now that Xiyu is back, she has become the second daughter. Hua Jiayi is willing to take Hua Ziqi with her because she is from the second house. She doesn't like any of the concubines from the first house.

Moreover, Hua Ziqi always tried to please her and acted as her supporting role, so she was happy to have such a follower.

After hearing what Jiayi said, Qin Fangru felt relieved. This was the right thing to do. She couldn't always be embarrassed alone.

Her mother was Prime Minister Hua's half-sister and married into the Qin family of Canzhou Prefecture. The Qin family was previously considered a middle-class family, but it had gradually declined since her grandfather's generation. By her father's generation, the children of the family were not doing well and were no longer as good as before.

In order to find a good marriage for herself, her mother sent her to her maternal family, hoping that the prestige of the Prime Minister's Mansion would increase her value. She would be satisfied if she could marry into a family of fourth-rank or above Beijing officials.

After all, grandma is not my biological grandma, so I have to rely on my uncle for everything. But my uncle is a man, so he can't be so meticulous, and my aunt doesn't care much, so I have to take care of everything myself. I can only follow my cousin and show up more often on various occasions.

Looking at the backs of the three girls, Hua Xiyu shook his head. Hongmei came to clean the table, bringing a gust of fragrant wind through, making the room stuffy. "Open the window."

Hongmei quickly opened the window again. The summer wind, still a little hot and humid, swept in from the window, diluting the scent of powder and also dispersing the smell of gunpowder in the room.

She wanted to go for a walk outside to see what color the sky was and to confirm her guess.

Before she could go out, Nanny Zhang brought the court physician over. Hua Xiyu resigned herself to sitting down and letting the doctor examine her. Through the tent and then through a handkerchief, the court physician cut her left hand and then her right hand, back and forth several times. Finally, he said that the young lady was no longer in danger and prescribed a prescription for replenishing qi and blood, saying, "Take the medicine according to the prescription and you will be fine after taking it for a few days."

Hua Xiyu knew, of course, that she was fine. The skin wounds had already scabbed over and would heal quickly without sticking to water. She had not drunk the water with added ingredients. She thought it was nonsense that Chinese medicine practitioners could tell what poison you had been poisoned with or what disease you had just by taking your pulse. Pulse was nothing more than the speed of your heartbeat and was only an auxiliary means. Modern Chinese medicine is completely dependent on instruments, so she was not worried at all that the medicine she had not drunk would be detected.

Qingxing took the prescription happily. She was glad that the young lady was fine. She thanked the court doctor again and again, gave him a reward, and then asked Hongmei to get the medicine.

As soon as the court physician left Liushuang Courtyard, he was invited to the Madam's courtyard. Hua Jiayi and her maid followed him to the Madam's courtyard.

"How is the young lady's health?" Liang asked.

"It's fine, there's nothing wrong," the court doctor answered honestly.

"That medicine..." Liang seemed to see Jiayi and stopped talking.

The court doctor had his back to the doctor and did not notice anyone coming. He continued with Liang's words, "The eldest lady took a sterilizing drug. She probably won't have any children in this life."

"Go away." Liang gave the court doctor a reward and sent him away.

"Who's outside? Come in," Liang shouted at the figure outside.

Hua Jiayi stepped into the house, "Mom, it's me"

"Jia Yi, how can you be so rude? How can a lady from a noble family do such a despicable thing? It's okay for you to eavesdrop on your mother's room today, but if you eavesdrop on others tomorrow and are seen by others, how will you live your life?"

"Yes, my daughter knows she was wrong." Jiayi admitted her mistake. She couldn't hide her joy when she heard that the idiot couldn't have children. No matter what her mother said, she just admitted her mistake.

"Go ahead." As a mother, she knew what her daughter was thinking. She didn't want her child to make any mistakes that would be talked about by others, she didn't want her child to grow up crooked, and she didn't want to show her ugly side to her child. But some things, once done, will always leave traces, and how can the people around them not be infected?

Jiayi bowed, turned around gracefully, and went back to her Qingzhu Courtyard.
