After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Chapter 172 Believe it or not, you can only take a gamble.

No wonder Bai Yaoyao ordered people to bring her tonic soup every day!

Li Lianhua thought of what Bai Mulin and Aunt Qiao said that day, and she clenched her teeth.

Yes, they don’t like the baby in their belly.

This child has only disadvantages and no benefits for Bai Mulin, so why would they look forward to his arrival?

She was naive and thought too highly of human nature!

"Xiaoqing, go and cook me some rice porridge."

"Aunt, I'm glad you figured it out. Nothing else matters now. What matters is that you take good care of your body."

Xiaoqing thought she had let it go, so she wiped her eyes happily and immediately walked out quickly with the bowl of medicine.

The yard is very small, with only a tiled house and a small hall.

The house was simply furnished, and the only things that could be used were the stove and two old clay pots.

She changed for a small, chipped jar, took out a small gray cloth bag from the cabinet in the small hall, grabbed a handful of rice and put it in the jar.

Li Lianhua ate the rice porridge and regained some strength.

"Xiaoqing, go see if the Second Madam is at home."

Xiaoqing stood in front of the couch, twisting her hands, feeling a little embarrassed, "Aunt, the eldest master said that we are not allowed to leave the yard without his permission."

Li Lianhua didn't expect Bai Mulin to still want to imprison her. The hatred in her eyes became even stronger. She looked at the bed curtains above her head and said faintly, "Xiaoqing, you also heard what they said that day. They are going to be kicked out anyway. We have to get our anger out and our revenge back."

Xiao Qing looked at her suddenly, "Auntie——"

"Tell me, if the Second Madam knew that Aunt Qiao poisoned the Fourth Miss, what would happen to Aunt Qiao?"

Li Lianhua smiled sinisterly.

Originally, she wanted to wait until the child was born and have the child by her side, and then use this secret to restrain Aunt Qiao and seek wealth for herself and the child.

Now, she wants to use this secret to exchange for Aunt Qiao's life!

Aunt Qiao dared to let Bai Yaoyao send her the poisonous tonic soup, which caused her to never be a mother again and endangered her child's life. She should go to hell and die to atone for her sin!

"Aunt..."

Xiaoqing hesitated.

She was illiterate and had little knowledge, but she knew that the Lu family was easy to mess with, but the Fourth Miss and the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were not.

If the people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion knew that Aunt Qiao dared to drug the Fourth Young Miss, they would definitely not let her off easily.

only--

"We have no evidence for this matter, how can the Second Madam believe it?"

"Whether you believe it or not, you can only take a gamble."

Li Lianhua held Xiaoqing's hand and said, "Xiaoqing, you and I are masters and servants. We will prosper together and suffer together. Maybe if we tell the Second Madam about this, the Second Madam will give us a chance to live because we informed her of the secret."

Her eyes were red. "You know, in this world, if we two women are out there without a man to support us, our fate won't be good."

Xiaoqing was born in a poor family, so she naturally knew how difficult it was for a woman to survive. She couldn't help but wet her eyes, "If only you were here."

If you eat coarse food, at least there won't be hooligans to harass you.

"No matter what the result is, it won't be worse than it is now."

Li Lianhua patted the back of her hand and said, "Go ahead. We are two lowly ants. No one will pay attention to this place."

Xiaoqing thought about it and said, "I will go right away."

It was getting dark outside before Lu brought Bai Youyou and Bai Luochuan back to the Marquis' Mansion.

They went there in two carriages, and when they came back, except for the one with passengers, the other two carriages were packed full.

These were all good things Lu Zhenguo brought back from the frontier, as well as the return gifts prepared by his aunt Hu.

Bai Youyou and Bai Luochuan received a lot of New Year's money today, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

Bai Luochuan had not expected to receive nearly thirty taels of New Year's money. He went to Lu's yard and took off the heavy purse from his waist.

"Mother, this silver is for you."

Mrs. Lu is no longer the ignorant woman who had never seen the world, but she is still very happy that her son took the initiative to give her money.

"Mother has plenty of money on her. You can keep it for yourself to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone."

"Please keep it for your son. When he needs it, he can get it from you."

Bai Luochuan knew all about Lu's belongings. The amount was not much, but not small either. It could at least cover the expenses of the small kitchen for half a year.

Today, when we went to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, even Xiaoju returned with a lot of things.

She giggled and said, "Madam, this is the second young master's filial piety, please accept it."

"Mom, this is a token of my second brother's love. Please accept it."

Bai Youyou also advised, and Lu no longer refused. She took the purse and said with a smile, "Then mother will keep it for you."

Cuizhu was packing up the things she brought back from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Xiaoqing was hiding at the door and looking in furtively, but was seen by Mrs. Ding who was sweeping the yard.

She yelled, "What are you doing?!"

Cuizhu followed Mrs. Ding's gaze and saw that it was Xiaoqing, who served Aunt Li. She put down what she was holding and walked over.

"Miss Xiaoqing, are you okay?"

Xiaoqing picked at her fingers nervously and stammered, "I, I just want to see if the Madam is here."

Cuizhu glanced towards Lu's room and knew that she was busy. She nodded and said, "Madam has just returned. If you have anything to say, I will go in and report it."

"Yes, it's my aunt. She wants to see Madam for something."

After Xiaoqing finished speaking, she lowered her head and ran away.

Cuizhu was a little confused.

That concubine Li is looking for Madam, does that mean Madam should go to see her too?

She smiled, didn't take it seriously, turned around and went back to sorting out the things she brought back from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

When night fell, Mrs. Lu was eating fruit and drinking milk tea with her two children. The three of them watched Xiaoju holding a storybook and reading it vividly.

Li Lianhua was wearing a cloak and a hood, and with the help of Xiaoqing, the two of them walked along a small path to Fangfei Garden.

Cuizhu just came out of the small kitchen and stopped when she saw the two of them.

"Sister Cuizhu, she is our aunt." Xiaoqing was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she spoke quickly.

Li Lianhua lifted the hood on his head, revealing a pale face, "Miss Cuizhu, I have something important to discuss with the Second Madam."

Cuizhu came here in the cold wind just after her miscarriage. She was afraid that she had something urgent to do, so she said, "Come with me."

Cuizhu brought the boiled medicine and opened the curtain to enter the room, "Madam, Aunt Li said she has something important to discuss with you."

"What does she want from me?"

Lu spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth and said with a puzzled look, "Let her in."

Cuizhu placed the bowl of medicine in front of Bai Youyou, walked to the door, lifted the curtain and let Li Lianhua and his servant in.

Li Lianhua walked up to Lu and knelt on the ground. "Madam, I came here today to tell you something important."

"Let's talk about it when we get up. The ground is very cold."

As a woman, Lu felt sorry for her miscarriage and said to Cuizhu, "Cuizhu, have someone cook a bowl of red eggs."

Ever since entering the Marquis' Mansion, no one has cared about him. Li Lianhua's nose felt sore and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

"Thank you ma'am."

Li Lianhua was Bai Mulin's concubine, so Lu was still a little unhappy. She asked calmly, "You said you had something to tell me, what is it?"

"It's about the Fourth Young Lady."
