The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 210 Taking advantage of the situation

After thinking about it, Shi Yao simply hid outside Lanpei Courtyard.

Today, the Shi brothers and sisters are going to deal with her and Zhou Shao, and the sisters-in-law will not sit idly by.

I'm afraid there are other options.

Sure enough, just as she hid, Ziyuan, who was beside Fu Nanjun, found her and said in surprise, "Second Miss, you're okay, that's great!"

Shi Yao twitched her lips: "Where are you hiding? I almost fainted because of that crazy woman Gong Xuan."

Ziyuan squatted with her behind the rockery and rocks to hide her figure, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, young lady, the grandmother has already made arrangements. If they want to take you out of the second door, you can't go out. We are here."

"They had drugs in their hands. They put drugs in my tea. They were the kind used in brothels to treat girls."

Ziyuan's face changed, and she asked hurriedly, "Miss, did you not eat? Are you feeling unwell? Fourth Madam is getting even more mean!"

Shi Yao rolled her eyes: "By the time you guys came to save me, I would have been so confused that I didn't know which way to go! Fortunately, I was smart and didn't dare to eat anything carelessly."

Ziyuan patted her chest and chuckled when she heard that: "It's OK as long as the girl is fine. Our grandmother also said that the girl is the smartest and cleverest, and ten grandmothers can't beat her, so she told us not to alert the enemy."

"And then use your trick against me?"

Ziyuan gave Shi Yao a thumbs up and said, "The girl is really smart!"

The people from Lanpei Courtyard stared at Guanju Courtyard stealthily and saw that it was locked. Fourth Grandma Gong Xuan went in and never came out again. Only Shi Yao ran out. The gatekeeper hurriedly reported to Shi Mingzhu.

Not long after, a little maid ran out in a hurry like a thief.

Shi Yao said: "She went to report the news."

Ziyuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Second Miss. None of the messengers can reach the Second Gate. There are Grandma's men watching in front. If anyone goes, we will catch them."

Shi Yao was exhausted physically and mentally. She sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "Your fourth grandmother fainted in my west wing. She is pregnant. How about asking a doctor to take a look at her?"

Ziyuan smiled and said, "Young lady, you are kind-hearted. Although Fourth Mistress used dirty means to deal with you, you still thought about the child in her belly. Since young lady has asked, I will send someone to invite one. It will be considered that we have done our utmost."

Shi Yao curled the corners of her mouth.

If she had a kind heart, she would not have been able to help but slap Gong Xuan so many times.

This fourth sister-in-law, doing despicable things while being pregnant, she really doesn't fear retribution.

It's unlucky for the child to be born in her belly. As a mother, she has done nothing good.

Shi Yao felt no guilt in her heart. Even if Shi Yunx had a miscarriage, she would not feel guilty. After all, it was Gong Xuan who harmed him, and it had nothing to do with her.

If a pregnant woman carrying an innocent life could be freed from responsibility for murder just like a minor, half of the people in prisons would probably be pregnant women.

After Aster slipped away quietly, she never came back.

After a while, Nanny Han came over and whispered, "Second Miss, can you give me the key to the door? I will be back soon."

Shi Yao asked, "Where is the doctor?"

Nanny Han smiled and said, "I know a little bit about medicine, especially about pregnancy and childbirth."

Shi Yao understood. No wonder Fu Nanjun valued Nanny Han so much. She took the key and handed it to her, telling her which key was for which door.

"...Mammy, please be careful. Fourth sister-in-law is cunning and treacherous. She took the knockout drug and wanted to drug me. But I snatched it away and knocked them out instead.

When you go in, you'd better wet a handkerchief and cover your nose and mouth to avoid inhaling the knockout drug, which will knock you out."

"Thank you for the reminder, Second Miss."

Nanny Han took the key, went around to the main road, and entered Guanju Courtyard openly.

Shi Yao waited for a while, and then Nanny Han came out and took a detour before returning to Shi Yao.

"Second Miss, I'll return the key to you. Please rest assured, Fourth Madam is in good health, and the baby in her belly is fine. Both mother and child are safe and sound, just taking a nap. I have also bandaged the wound on her neck."

She looked at Shi Yao with an indescribable expression.

The second girl was really brave. Not only did she drug all the maids and old women in the room, she also beat the fourth lady into a pig's head.

She suspected that Shi Yao had noticed in advance that the knockout drug was hers, not Gong Xuan's. When Gong Xuan and the others went in, she knocked everyone out at once, and then took advantage of Gong Xuan's unconsciousness to beat her into a pig's head.

Shi Yao nodded and said, "I would like to thank you on behalf of my fourth sister-in-law."

Nanny Han smiled at her and hurried away.

After that, another little maid came out of Lanpei Courtyard and ran to report the news, but she still never came back.

At this time, the front yard.

The third brother Shi Mingzhen, the fourth brother Shi Mingkui and the fifth brother Shi Mingying, the three brothers teamed up to get the fourth prince Zhou Shao drunk, and while serving him sobering soup, they put drugs in the soup.

Shi Mingkui stayed behind to take care of Zhou Shao so that he could meet up with his wife Gong Xuan.

Shi Mingzhen was outside dispatching and clearing out the servants coming and going from the second gate to Zhou Shao's guest house.

Everything is ready, except for Shi Yao's help.

Shi Mingying followed behind Shi Mingzhen, rubbing his hands anxiously, and asked, "Third brother, is it possible?"

Shi Mingzhen's face was solemn, and he said, "If you are not at ease, go to the banquet and help entertain the guests. I will be here."

Shi Mingying scratched his head.

He hasn't asked Qi Wan clearly about his grandson.

He always felt that something was wrong, but he had never had a prophetic dream, so he didn't know what the specific situation was.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out and felt really uneasy.

"My eldest sister-in-law, my second sister-in-law, and my sixth brother's wife have all had prophetic dreams. This morning, my second sister-in-law left our yard and immediately went to find my third sister-in-law! Third brother, do you think it is possible that my third sister-in-law also had a prophetic dream? Have you noticed anything unusual about my third sister-in-law recently?"

Shi Mingzhen's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly grabbed his wrist and asked, "What news did you hear? What does it have to do with your third sister-in-law?"

Shi Mingying scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. My second sister-in-law went to see my third sister-in-law today. I'm afraid my third sister-in-law also had a dream.

"Third brother, did you really not notice anything unusual about Third Sister-in-law? What I am most worried about now is, what if Fourth Sister-in-law also had a prophetic dream at this critical moment?"

If the third sister-in-law also had the dream, the fourth sister-in-law might not be spared either.

Shi Mingzhen frowned and thought, then said in silence, "Your third sister-in-law has indeed been much colder recently than before. She is probably jealous. On the way back from Ziyang Villa, I took care of Zhuzhu but not her, and she got angry with me. Other things are no different from usual."

After Tao Ziyi was diagnosed with pregnancy, she slept in a separate bed from him, and the couple had less and less time to communicate.

Everyone has been listening to the scolding from their grandparents these days, and it is an established rule for the Shi family's daughters-in-law to sleep in separate beds from their husbands after they become pregnant.

When Tao Ziyi was pregnant with her first two children, she also slept separately from him.

Shi Mingying sighed and felt sorry for himself: "That's right, Third Sister-in-law treats Third Brother the same as always, and she doesn't show any hostility towards Zhuzhu, so she probably didn't have a prophetic dream. Why am I so pitiful? I wish my wife didn't have a prophetic dream."

He was not sure whether Qi Wan's prophetic dream was the same as Shi Mingzhu's, so he did not dare to make a fuss and tell Shi Mingzhen. He planned to confirm it before telling his brothers and Zhuzhu.

Shi Mingzhen suppressed his anxiety and said, "Go to the second gate to find out the news. According to the agreed time, Gong has already sent Shi Yao out."

Shi Mingying was busy.
