Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

When she returned to the main courtyard, Jia Min was still a little frightened and her body was trembling slightly.

She sat on the couch with a pale face. After she came to her senses, she felt a sense of fear.

"aunt?"

Yuan Wei looked at Jia Min worriedly, called out softly, then turned around and poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her: "Drink some water and take your time. I've asked Ji'er to get a doctor, don't worry too much."

Jia Min gratefully took the cup of water, took a sip, and tried to calm herself down.

She smiled and said to Yuan Wei: "Thank you, Wei'er, I was really scared at that moment. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to escape this time."

While the two were talking, Jill ran in breathlessly and said, "Girl, Doctor Qiu is here!"

Immediately afterwards, an old man with a kind face and gray hair walked into the room. He was Qiu Zhang, the new doctor of the Lin Mansion.

Yuan Wei quickly stood up and said, "Doctor Qiu, please help my aunt. She almost fell down just now."

After hearing this, Doctor Qiu did not dare to delay for even a moment and hurried to Jia Min's side. Without caring about the difference between men and women, he put his hand on Jia Min's pulse and began to diagnose.

After all, he is over 70 years old and doesn't care much about these details.

After a moment, Doctor Qiu released her hand and said with a soothing smile, "Madam, don't worry. The pulse shows that there is nothing serious. It's just a slight miscarriage. No medication is needed. Just rest in bed for two days and you will recover."

Upon hearing this, Jia Min and Yuan Wei felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as mother and child are safe, nothing else matters.

Only when Jia Min calmed down completely did she have time to think about this matter.

The whole thing was too strange. Wei'er had asked Madam Zhao to go to the kitchen to check before. When her foot slipped, she could clearly feel that there was oil on the floor.

In other words, this was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose.

Who on earth wants to harm her?

Jia Min fell into deep thought when Hanmei came in.

Jia Min came to her senses and asked Yuan Wei to go back to the yard first, "Don't worry about this matter."

After all, this matter may involve the fight between the women in the backyard. If this is true, it is really difficult to manage Yuan Wei, an unmarried girl, so it is better to let her stay away for the time being.

Yuan Wei nodded obediently and walked out directly.

After Yuan Wei left, Jia Min looked at Han Mei and asked, "Tell me, what happened?"

Hanmei answered quickly and clearly:

"Madam, you slipped because someone spilled oil on the floor. The person who did it was Juhua, who was in the kitchen, making the fire. While Madam Zhao was giving instructions, she secretly took out the oil and spilled it on the threshold."

"When she came out, she was seen by the kitchen helper, Mrs. Su. However, she didn't know Juhua was going to frame the mistress at first, and thought she was going to the toilet urgently."

"After Sister Su pointed the finger at Juhua, Juhua quickly confessed. She said... Mengyao told her to do it."

Mengyao was Lin Ruhai's maid. She used to serve in Lin Ruhai's study. When she first started serving, she was favored by Lin Ruhai, so Hanmei hesitated when talking about her.

Lin Ruhai had no concubine, but he had two maids, one was Mengyao, and the other was Hanlan, who was given to him by Jia Min.

Jia Min stroked the bracelet on her hand and suddenly said, "It shouldn't be Mengyao."

Hanmei looked at her in surprise. Jia Min closed her eyes and did not answer her.

Hanmei lowered her head and stood quietly aside.

The silence in the room was broken only when Aunt Zhao came over and said, "Madam, Hanlan is pregnant."

Hanmei widened her eyes and looked at Zhao Ma in disbelief, then turned to look at Jia Min.

Jia Min seemed to have known this for a long time and did not show any surprise.

Zhao Ma Ma lowered her head, not daring to look at Jia Min, and replied tremblingly, "It's been four months."

Jia Min suddenly realized, but her face turned pale.

Since she became pregnant, the master would occasionally stay overnight at the concubine's place. Since he could successfully conceive, it was no surprise that they could also conceive.

Suddenly, Jia Min felt a light kick in her stomach. Her eyes immediately turned to her abdomen, and then she slowly relaxed.

Jia Min gently stroked the bulge in her belly and whispered softly, "Are you trying to comfort Mother?"

Her tone was full of maternal love and warmth.

Then, Jia Min frowned and asked seriously, "Who did this?"

After a moment's hesitation, Aunt Zhao said, "It should be Hanlan."

Jia Min raised her eyebrows and questioned, "Should it be?"

Aunt Zhao quickly explained, "Juhua identified Mengyao, but when confronted, she denied it. She said the voice and figure were similar, but the scent was different."

It turns out that Juhua has had a keen sense of smell since she was a child, so she was arranged to work in the kitchen.

Because she was still young, she could only be responsible for chores such as lighting the fire.

Every time she came into contact with that person, it was at night. The other party claimed to be Mengyao, and Juhua believed it without a doubt.

But when identifying, Juhua discovered that Mengyao had a different scent from the person who bribed her.

"Juhua said that last night the man told her that if anyone came to the main courtyard, she should pour some oil on the door threshold when no one was paying attention, just to embarrass the people in the main courtyard. She didn't know that the mistress was going to the kitchen."

After all, no one expected the wife to suddenly go to the kitchen.

Afterwards, Madam Zhao asked Juhua to identify all the servants except those in the main courtyard one by one, but Juhua did not find anyone with that fragrance.

Just when Madam Zhao suspected that it was done by the servants in the main courtyard, she discovered that there was still one person who had not come.

"It's Xiaolian, the one planted in the garden. Her figure is very similar to Mengyao. Some people also say that she learned ventriloquism when she was a child, and occasionally she is asked to imitate their speech."

"But when I took people to look for her, I found that there was no one in her room, but I found the spice that Juhua smelled."

When Zhao Mama said this, she glanced at Jia Min cautiously and continued nervously, "The doorman said he saw Xiaolian go out this morning and she hasn't come back yet."

"This doesn't prove that it was Hanlan who ordered it."

"Yes, this is just my guess. Someone saw Hanlan often strolling in the garden before, but she never went there before."

Aunt Zhao said awkwardly.

Xiaolian worked in the garden, so it was very likely that they had come into contact. However, now Xiaolian had disappeared, so there was no evidence, and Mengyao was cleared of the charges.

This is frustrating, as if my wife has been schemed against for nothing.

There are suspects, but no evidence.

Even Nanny Zhao didn't dare to face Jia Min.

Jia Min looked at her stomach and fell into deep thought.

In fact, she also tended to think that it was Hanlan who did it. It was because Hanlan knew her too well.

Plus, she was pregnant, so she had a motive.

Hanlan is a servant girl of the Rongguo Mansion and has been with Jia Min since she was a child.

She knew Jia Min and knew that Yuan Wei made a novel cake for her and she liked it, so there was a high possibility that Jia Min would want to eat it again the next day.

The other half might go into the kitchen to see how the cake is made.

Hanlan bet on that half, so she won the bet.

But Hanlan couldn't be happy at this moment. She had planned everything, but she had never expected that Juhua's nose would be so sensitive that she could smell even the slightest scent on her body.

Fortunately, to be on the safe side, she let Xiaolian go.

She knew that the main house would definitely suspect her, but there was no evidence.

Good thing...

Hanlan touched her belly and smiled. She also had a talisman.

When inspecting the main courtyard, Lin Ruhai also asked someone to check the maid's room and had anyone deal with anything that was problematic.

Hanlan is a smart person. Although the head monk didn't say anything, she knew at a glance that there was something wrong with those things.

After that, Hanlan imitated Jia Min in every way. She stopped burning incense in her room, dared not go out to play, and exercised by walking in circles in her yard every day.

Although the master had not been to their yard for a long time.

But Hanlan knew that as long as Jia Min became pregnant, her chance would come.

Didn't she wait?

Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Hanlan had been planning how to make Jia Min have an abortion. Since she had already had one, she didn't mind having another.

She knew that with how much Lin Ruhai valued Jia Min, as long as Jia Min gave birth to a child, there would be no place for her and her child to succeed.

Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. As long as her child is the only child in the Lin family, everything in the Lin family will belong to her child.

In the main courtyard, Jia Min pondered for a long time before suddenly coming to her senses and saying, "Tell the housekeeper to go to the yamen and report Xiaolian as a runaway slave. Drive Juhua out of the house. As for Hanlan's pregnancy, give her the same share as a concubine's. Let her take good care of the baby."

After a pause, she continued, "Tell the master about Hanlan's pregnancy and what happened today."

"Yes." Nanny Zhao responded and walked out.

"Madam?" Hanmei looked at Jia Min worriedly and called out softly.

"I'm tired." Jia Min waved her hand tiredly, not wanting to say anything more.

When Jia Min was the only one left in the room, she slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window with a complicated expression.

She knew clearly what the arrival of this child meant.

It means her hands will no longer be clean.
