I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Soon, Doctor Gao withdrew his hand, stood up and saluted Madam Xie and Liao Tongxia: "Congratulations, Madam, congratulations, Madam, the fetus is very healthy."

Suddenly, Mrs. Xie smiled even more happily: "Thank you, Doctor Gao."

After saying that, she reached behind her and handed over an ingot of silver as a reward.

Doctor Gao accepted it happily.

Madam Xie held Liao Tongxia's hand and said enthusiastically, "Tongxia, I pray to the gods and Buddhas every day, hoping that you can get pregnant soon. Now the heavens have heard my prayers, and they have finally come true. Don't worry, just focus on having the baby. From today on, I will take care of the affairs of the mansion and will never let you get tired."

This is to take away her power to run the family.

Liao Tongxia's heart was filled with alarm. She was about to speak when she was touched by the wet nurse.

The next moment, the voice of the nanny sounded: "Madam, my young lady is now in charge of the accounts of the mansion, and she is already very familiar with it. Besides, this woman is pregnant, so she can't just be lazy. She should do more things and move around. It will be good for the fetus in her belly. What do you think?"

Now, if Madam Xie dared to object, she would be doing harm to the fetus in Liao Tongxia's belly.

Madam Xie was a shrewd person, so she naturally wouldn't be fooled. She just smiled and said, "That's true. I originally thought that this was Tongxia's first child, and she had no experience. I was also afraid that she would overwork and hurt the baby in her belly. Now that you say so, let Tongxia take care of it. But, Tongxia, let's make a deal. If you feel tired, just tell me. As your mother-in-law, I will definitely not let you get tired."

Liao Tongxia smiled and replied: "Thank you mother for your understanding, daughter-in-law."

"What do you mean by understanding or not? We are a family, and it would be a bit strange to say these things. Come on, take a rest. You are just pregnant, and you are very sleepy. You must rest well and give birth to a big fat boy for our Xie family as soon as possible!"

"Then I'll take advantage of mother's good wishes." After saying that, Liao Tongxia smiled and saw Madam Xie out.

After sending the person back, her expression suddenly changed: "This old hag actually wants to take back my power as the head of the family at this time! If I lose even this little power, won't she be more likely to plot against me!"

"Who said it wasn't true?" The nanny took over her words, worried, "Miss, you were in charge of the purchases for the mansion before, but you still fell into her trap. If the purchases for the mansion are no longer under your control, she will have more opportunities to do something."

"Thank you for helping me, nanny." Liao Tongxia said, holding the nanny's hand gratefully.

The nanny smiled and patted Liao Tongxia's hand: "Miss, let me say something presumptuous. You grew up drinking my milk, and I have always treated you as my child. If I don't help you, who else can I help?"

Liao Tongxia was filled with gratitude and reached out to hug her.

It is indeed as Mrs. Xie said, she is very sleepy since she has just become pregnant.

Originally, after the summer, Liao Tongxia stopped taking a nap at noon, but she found that during the period of pregnancy, if she didn’t take a nap in the afternoon, she would feel weak all over.

The wet nurse was very considerate. Every time she woke up from a nap, she would make her a bowl of brown sugar and white fungus porridge, which could replenish her blood and refresh her mind, and was also good for the baby in her belly.

But when she woke up from her nap one day, she not only did not see the wet nurse, but also did not see the maid bringing her the brown sugar and white fungus porridge.

Liao Tongxia couldn't help but frowned, looked at Caiyun, the maid her mother had just sent over, and asked, "Where's Madam? Why didn't she come?"

Caiyun knew how powerful Liao Tongxia was, so she lowered her head and said, "My lady, I didn't see the nanny coming over. If you are worried, can I go over and take a look?"

"Do I need to tell you this? Go now!"

After saying that, Liao Tongxia couldn't help but stroke her brows.

Nowadays, the maids around her are changed frequently, but the more they are changed, the less satisfactory they are. They are really more stupid than the last!

Caiyun was gone for a long time.

Liao Tongxia was getting so angry from waiting that she stood up and walked out, but as soon as she reached the door, she saw Caiyun running towards her in a panic.

Seeing this, Liao Tongxia couldn't help but get angry: "How can you be so flustered? Have you learned all the rules you learned in the mansion?"

Caiyun was startled. Her knees softened and she knelt on the ground. She pointed her hand outside and said incoherently, "Miss, Mammy, she, she..."

Suddenly, Liao Tongxia had a bad feeling in her heart.

She walked a few steps to Caiyun and asked sternly, "Speak clearly, which nanny?"

"Madame Li fell into the lotus pond and is...gone."

"what!"

Her wet nurse's surname was Li.

Among the maids around her, only her wet nurse had the surname Li.

For a moment, Liao Tongxia staggered and almost fell down.

Caiyun was smart enough to stand up and support Liao Tongxia, explaining, "You asked me to look for Madam Li. I didn't see her in her room, so I went out to look for her when I learned she had left the courtyard. I found a lot of people gathered over the lotus pond, and I went over to take a look, and I saw Madam Li lying there, dead."

"Hurry! Take me there!" Liao Tongxia grabbed Caiyun's arm and walked out quickly.

She staggered along the way and almost fell several times.

Caiyun advised: "Miss, please take your time and don't be anxious. You are still pregnant."

Liao Tongxia stopped, took a deep breath, and put her hand on her lower abdomen: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Let's go."

The two walked forward for a distance and saw a circle of people gathered around the lotus pond.

Seeing her coming, everyone automatically dispersed, except for Nanny's granddaughter Songzhi, who knelt on the ground and cried bitterly: "Grandma, please open your eyes and look at me, I am Songzhi, Grandma..."

Liao Tongxia looked around and immediately said, "What are you all standing there for? Call a doctor!"

Soon, someone ran away to find a doctor.

However, when Liao Tongxia arrived at the wet nurse and saw her face, she knew it was too late to find a doctor.

Because the wet nurse's face had turned blue.

For a moment, Liao Tongxia felt dizzy.

This is the wet nurse who has been with her since she was a child. They are not mother and daughter, but they are better than mother and daughter!

At this moment, Liao Tongxia noticed that the nanny's right hand was still tightly holding a lotus pod.

Suddenly, Liao Tongxia remembered that before taking a nap, the wet nurse asked her what she wanted to eat, and she casually said that she wanted to eat lotus seed soup.

She just said it casually, but the nanny came here to pick the freshest lotus pods for her so that she could take out the lotus seeds and make lotus seed soup for her.

You know, there are fresh lotus seeds in this season. Lotus seed soup made with fresh lotus seeds will taste even more delicious.

It turns out that she was the one who killed the wet nurse!
