Becoming The Real Rich Daughter After Divorce

Chapter 350: Chapter 350: Qiao Ruoyi is pregnant

In the pouring rain, the servant girl beside Princess Fu Lu passed on the news that Princess Fu Lu had already given birth.

Qiao lui looked at Old Madam Qiao and Zheng Xiao and said, “Grandmother, mother, Xiang Xiang is about to give birth. I’ll go back first.”

Old Madam Qiao said, “It’s windy and rainy on the road. Be careful. Xiao’er, you should go with her. It’s the princess’first time giving birth. It’s hard not to be afraid.”

Zheng Xiao agreed and rushed back to Fu Lu’s courtyard with Qiao Lui.

Old Madam Qiao pressed her palms together towards the ancestral tablets and prayed for the safety of Princess Fu Lu and her son.

Qiao ruoi followed the rules set by the clan leader at the side. When she was offering incense to her ancestors, she felt extremely uneasy when she heard the sounds of thunder, wind, and rain outside.

The weather was like this again when Princess Fu Lu was about to give birth. After Qiao Ruoi finished offering incense, she rushed to Qiao Lui’s courtyard.

But who knew that when she stepped over the threshold outside the ancestral hall, because of the puddles on the ground, she slipped and fell to the ground. She felt a great pain in her abdomen, xiao Man, who was at the side, exclaimed in shock, “Blood! Miss, you’re injured. There’s so much blood below!”

Old Madam Qiao saw this and said anxiously, “Someone quickly call the imperial physician.”

After a moment of busyness, Qiao Ruoyi was in so much pain that she bit her lip. The women carried a small palanquin and carried Qiao ruoyi back to her small courtyard. Princess Fu Lu was about to give birth, and there were already two imperial physicians in the manor on standby.

When Qiao Ruoyi returned to the courtyard, Fu Lu had already successfully given birth to a daughter. The two imperial physicians then came to Qiao Ruoyi’s courtyard.

Old Madam Qiao was very anxious. “She’s going to be married tomorrow. If she breaks her leg now, it won’t be good.”

A younger imperial physician hurriedly went forward to check Qiao Ruoyi’s pulse. Seeing that her lower body was covered in blood, he was shocked after checking her pulse. “Sir, please come and take a look. This fifth lady seems to have had a miscarriage. I’m afraid she won’t be able to keep her child.”

After the old imperial physician went forward to check Qiao Ruoyi’s pulse, he said, “Fifth lady, I’ve offended you. I’ll have to trouble the servant girl to expose your lady’s stomach. I’ll give her an injection to protect her fetus.”

When Old Madam Qiao heard this, her hands kept fiddling with the Buddha beads in her hands.

Xiao Man and Yan Yu looked at each other. However, they still obediently changed Qiao ruoyi into a middle-sized shirt, revealing her flat lower abdomen.

The old imperial physician took out a silver needle and pricked Qiao Ruoyi’s abdomen several times, then ordered the maidservant to fetch the medicine to brew the medicine.

The younger imperial physician said to old madam Qiao, “Fifth Miss is lucky. Originally, sir had already retired in Luoyang city. The eldest princess was worried about the princess, so she asked Sir to return to Chang ‘an. If not for Sir’s acupuncture skills, fifth miss would definitely not be able to keep the child in her belly today.”

The old imperial physician said, “It’s also because of the girl’s fate with this child. After so much blood, she was still able to survive. However, she needs to stay in bed for at least a month to recuperate. Let’s forget about tomorrow’s marriage. After all, the child is more important.”

After Old Madam Qiao thanked them, she rewarded the two imperial physicians. After Old Madam Qiao sent the two imperial physicians away, she looked at Qiao ruoyi and said sternly, “The child in your stomach is not from the Marquis of Jingwu, right?”

Qiao Ruoyi was in a daze on the bed. When she heard old madam Qiao’s words, she immediately said, “Grandmother, this child can not be kept!”

Old Madam Qiao was exasperated and fiercely slapped Qiao Ruoyi on the face, “I heard from the old imperial physician that the child in your belly is less than a month old. It’s fine if you don’t have a marriage contract, but after having a marriage contract, you’re still pregnant with someone else. Where does this put our Qiao family’s face?”

Qiao Ruoyi said with tears in her eyes, “Grandma, I know I’m wrong. I Can’t keep this child!”

“Who is the father of the child? He abandoned the child in such a disorderly manner. He knows that you have a marriage contract, but... It’s a light punishment to take his life.”

Old Madam Qiao was extremely angry. “Tomorrow, our Qiao’s residence will become the biggest joke in Chang ‘an city!”

Qiao ruoyi said, “I don’t know who the father of the child is. Grandmother, I’ll just abort the child. I’ll just say that I fell and broke my leg...”

Old madam Qiao sneered, “How long can we keep this a secret? How can we keep the mouths of the two imperial physicians shut?”? The eldest master of the Ye family had a good relationship with those imperial physicians. The niece of eldest Grandma Ye was going to marry the eldest daughter of Wu Anhou, the heir of the Marquis of Jingwu. How could we keep this a secret?”

An yuanhou and Zheng Xiao had heard the news from Qiao Ruoyi. Before they could hug their granddaughter, they rushed over.

An yuanhou entered and said angrily, “You did such a shameless thing, and you still want to hide it? Tell me about that adulterer!”

“Men, arrest Xiao Man and Yan Yu and beat them up!”

Qiao ruoyi heard this and said with tears in her eyes, “Father, don’t beat them up. They don’t know.”

An yuanhou forced himself to fight Qiao ruoyi, “You have no sense of shame to do such a shameful thing to our Qiao family. The maidservants by your side didn’t take good care of you. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re afraid of one dead body and two lives, they would have beaten you up as well!”!

Who was the adulterer?

Zheng Xiao stepped forward and asked, “Ruoyi, who was the man who lied to You? You’re now an official in the imperial court. After such a thing happened, you might not even be able to hold on to your official position. Why are you still hiding it from that man?”

“If she doesn’t want to tell us today, then we’ll kill one corpse and two lives to save our Qiao family’s reputation!”An yuanhou scolded loudly.

Old Madam Qiao glared at an yuanhou unhappily and said, “One corpse and two lives, forcing our own girl to die. is letting that man roam free a good reputation? Nonsense!”

Zheng Xiao persuaded Qiao ruoyi, “Ruoyi, your sister loves you the most. You should also think about your sister in the palace. If your reputation is ruined, how will your sister be able to rule the world as a Mother? Tell us, who is that man?”

Qiao ruoyi pursed her lips and said softly, “It’s Patriarch Xie.”

Zheng Xiao frowned. Marquis an Yuan also frowned and asked, “Patriarch Xie of Jiangnan?”

“Yes.”Qiao ruoyi told her everything that happened in the Northern Mountain Imperial Manor on the day of Jin Niang’s birthday. “Father, mother, grandmother, I really don’t have any sense of shame. I don’t know how I got pregnant...”

Zheng Xiaonan sighed heavily. “Sigh, you child, why didn’t you tell your family about such a big matter? What about Patriarch Xie? Patriarch Xie took advantage of you so much, didn’t he say anything?”

“He gave me the real copy of Qingtie when it was almost snowing, just like Gu Kaizhi’s Wei Mojie.”

An yuanhou was even more furious. “The real copy of Qingtie when it was almost snowing, and he sent my Qiao family’s daughter away? In your dreams!”

Old Madam Qiao said to an yuanhou, “Isn’t family head Xie going to trade with the western regions? Does he want us to help him in Yunzhou? “After doing such a thing, he still has the nerve to act as if nothing has happened. Go to the Xie family and ask family head Xie for Justice!”

“Xiao’er, follow me to the manor of the Marquis of Jingwu and apologize properly. It’s fine if you’re laughed at and scolded by others, but our Qiao family can only swallow the tears of this matter.”

“Ruoyi, rest well. The child in your belly is more important. Since you can keep it, it means that the fate between the child and you is not shallow. A miscarriage is also extremely tiring.”
