Tu's head was about to be broken, so she asked someone to take Gu Yuebai away to find a doctor, and to carry Gu Chengyan back to Qin Yaxuan, where she personally served Gu Chengyan.
Disgustedly driving Guan Yingying out of Qin Yaxuan, Yan Ke and Nian Ke carried Guan Yingying to the mulberry garden.
It is just the New Year and the weather is still very cold. No one has lived in the mulberry garden for a long time. Cobwebs are everywhere and dust is everywhere.
Yan Ke and Nian Ke carried Guan Yingying into the house, first made a bed, and lifted Guan Yingying onto it. The quilt felt like the paper quilts used by poor families, which could not keep out the cold at all.
The room was so cold that Yan Ke went to Tu, shivering, and knelt down to beg for charcoal and a brazier.
Tu hated Guan Yingying so much that she would never give her a brazier. She just wanted to die.
Yan Ke and Nian Ke were girls from the country, so they were not afraid. They stuffed Guan Yingying into the quilt, placed the basin in front of the bed, picked up a pile of firewood, and lit it in the brazier.
There was a roaring fire in the brazier, and smoke and ashes were flying everywhere.
In the middle of the night, Guan Yingying developed a high fever.
Yan Ke and Nian Ke had no choice but to go to Qin Yaxuan to ask Gu Chengyan for help. Gu Chengyan asked the servants to carry him and called the court doctor to go to the mulberry garden.
The court doctor felt Guan Yingying's pulse and suddenly felt something was wrong. He asked Yan Kenianke, "Did Aunt Yue bleed a lot today?"
"Yes," Yan Ke cried, "My pants are covered in blood."
"Oh, I had a miscarriage."
Guan Yingying, Yan Ke and Nian Ke were all shocked.
Guan Yingying reacted and burst into tears, tearing at her wound, then she softened and pounded the bed with her fists, crying miserably.
When Gu Chengyan heard the word "miscarriage", he also cried quietly. The wound hurt so much that he didn't dare to cry loudly.
"It's too cold here. Carry her to my yard to prevent her from getting sick." Gu Chengyan cried, "I'll go tell my mother."
Guan Yingying buried her head in the pillow and said, "Chengyan, if you really want to be good to me, please let me leave here."
"How can I let you leave when you're like this? Take good care of yourself first, and we'll discuss it when you recover."
When Guan Yingying heard what he said, she knew it was useless and cried desperately.
Nanny Wei always asked the servant Qiu Feng to inquire about everything in the mulberry garden.
Qiu Feng was a servant who came with Chunshan when Xie Xiangxiang got married. He was very loyal.
Xie Zhaozhao did not hide the fact that she was teaching Guan Yingying a lesson. Everyone in the mansion knew that Xie Zhaozhao was teaching Master Gu's new concubine a lesson.
Qiu Feng wandered around for a day and returned to Fanghua Garden excitedly.
"To be honest, the eldest lady was very courageous. She didn't care about anything and ordered the female soldiers to hold down the son-in-law and beat him with thirty sticks. Aunt Yue was slapped thirty times in the face. Blood was gushing out of her nose and mouth, and her teeth were knocked out."
Nanny Wei was old, and her ribs still hurt after being kicked twice by Gu Chengyan. She asked anxiously, "Did the eldest lady really hit you like that?"
"That's right. The eldest lady also said that if she doesn't follow the rules next time, it won't just be slapped thirty times."
After hearing this, Madam Wei was envious and excited. She said to Xie Xiangxiang, "It seems that the eldest lady is venting her anger for you."
Xie Xiangxiang said slowly: "She vented her anger for me? Although I don't know why she taught Aunt Yue such a harsh lesson, she definitely didn't vent her anger for me."
Qiu Feng said, "The beating that Uncle gave Madam Yue today caused her to have a miscarriage."
Nanny Wei and Xie Xiangxiang were shocked: "Miscarriage? Really?"
"This news was spread by the palace doctor. Lan Xiang from the second house and Emei, the godson of the gardener, all heard it."
When Xie Xiangxiang heard that Aunt Yue was pregnant again, she felt extremely angry.
She said with regret: "That bitch had a miscarriage, it's a pity that it wasn't my eldest sister who aborted it..."
The next morning, Tu learned that Guan Yingying had an abortion by Gu Boyu the day before, and she was so heartbroken that she beat her chest and stamped her feet.
The old lady did not sleep well all night and had nightmares continuously because she lost her title. She dreamed that the old marquis came to scold her.
At daybreak the old lady also developed a high fever.
Tu went to Ci'en Temple to pay her respects early in the morning. Taxue called out that the court doctor was treating the old lady, so Tu kept silent and dared not say anything.
He ordered Aunt Wan beside him: "Go and tell the third and second wives that mother is ill."
Nanny Wan went to notify them, and soon Gu Zhongyu, Lu, Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao all arrived.
I asked the court physician, and he said that she was frightened and worried too much, so I should rest and recuperate for a few days and not to irritate the old lady with anything.
Gu Boyu also came over from his concubine Wang. The three brothers, three sisters-in-law, and Xie Xiangxiang all discussed the matter together.
Gu Boyu said: "My mother is old and can't stand the torment. I will be careful with my words and actions in the future and do things that will make her happy."
Gu Zhongyu said unhappily: "The eldest wife should start with herself."
Gu Shaoyu said calmly: "Brother, if His Majesty had not shown mercy in this impeachment, I'm afraid that not only would the imperial seal and iron certificate be taken back, but the title would also be stripped away."
He told Gu Boyu and Tu that the Censorate had not originally noticed the Marquis' Mansion, and it was Gu Chengyan who behaved inappropriately and acted too arrogantly.
At the South Gate, Master Yu saw Gu Chengyan and Aunt Yue being unruly, which caused trouble. Master Yu had been keeping an eye on Chengyan for almost a month.
Tu thought angrily in his heart: What's so unruly? It's all because of party disputes!
Gu Boyu said, "Third brother, you have done your best. Don't let me involve you. If you are implicated, the Marquis' Mansion will fall faster."
Tu cried and said, "Yesterday, in anger, the bitch was beaten and the child was lost..."
Gu Boyu angrily said, "She deserves to be beaten to death. How can such a bitch give birth to a good child? Look at that Gu Yuebai, he is full of shit and even scolds me, his grandfather. One of these worse than beasts is enough. Do you think your family is not falling fast enough?"
Mrs. Lu was happy to hear this, but what she wanted to know most was that Gu Chengyan no longer had the qualification to inherit the title, so who should inherit the title?
"Logically speaking, I shouldn't bring up the matter of inheriting the title at this time. What do you plan to do about inheriting the title, brother?" Lu asked anxiously.
Tu immediately said, "The eldest wife has a concubine's son and a grandson, why are you so anxious?"
Gu Boyu said: "I thought of asking Zheng'er to inherit the title. Although Zheng'er is a bastard and has a cowardly personality, fortunately he will not cause trouble."
Gu Zheng, the illegitimate son of the eldest son.
Gu Shaoyu didn't care, but Gu Zhongyu and Lu were extremely disappointed.
According to Daqian law, the second branch will inherit only after the eldest branch has no descendants.
Who told me that I can’t reincarnate, so I have to be ranked second!
Mrs. Lu couldn't help crying and complaining: "Huan'er and Xi'er are both getting engaged, Chengsi and Chenghuan are both going to school and seeking official positions, good things don't happen to the second house, and bad things happen all the time."
Gu Boyu said impatiently, "The mansion didn't treat you badly before, did it? It's a common destiny. What are you complaining about? Didn't I, Gu Chengyan, use family rules?"
Xie Zhaozhao looked at the clepsydra and said, "It's the Mao hour. You should hurry up and go to court. We can discuss other matters after court."
Gu Shaoyu stood up and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law still need to take care of the inner house. It is difficult to be promoted to a noble title, but it is very easy to be deprived of it."
Gu Boyu naturally understood that he had been living off the marquisate earned by his old father all his life. When he was demoted to earl, the monthly salary from his land was at least 30% off, not to mention his status.
I’m afraid that from now on, the Bo’s Mansion will no longer be included in any gathering of dignitaries in the entire capital.
After Gu Shaoyu went to work, Xie Zhaozhao still returned to Ci'enyuan. The old lady was still having a fever!
She looked at Tu who was standing aside with a suspicious look on her face, and said calmly: "Brother and sister-in-law, instead of thinking about those things, you should think about the eldest young master's marriage consummation!"
Tu choked. Yes, now that Gu Chengyan’s official career has been ruined and he has lost his title, would Xie Xiangxiang still be willing to live with him?
