Chapter 513: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (52)
So this matter is not as easy as Lu Qiao said.
Seeing that if things continued like this, the Cao family would be extinct, Wu Wenyue had no choice but to turn her attention to the original owner.
After all, Cao Ce once said: Among the daughters of the Cao family, Cao Wanning has royal blood, and women in their family are extremely easy to conceive. Otherwise, how come his father, General Cao, had so many women, but only his mother gave birth to a son - that is, him.
In the final analysis, it was just "seeing the leopard through the tube, not seeing the whole picture". Cao Ce had no idea what his mother had done to consolidate his position as the legitimate son.
In the smokeless battlefield of the rear house, his princess mother was far more ruthless than he knew.
Due to all the misunderstandings, Wu Wenyue later plotted against the original owner, but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, and the original owner actually got pregnant at that time.
However, the child eventually became a victim of political interests, so this time Wu Wenyue sent her confidants to look after the original owner to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The original owner's health was not very good. After all, she had just had a miscarriage. In addition, she had been trapped in this square yard, so she was inevitably a little depressed.
Fortunately, when she was seven months pregnant, Wu Wenyue gave her her brother Su Yanqing. Knowing that her brother was about to return to China, the original owner finally felt a little interested in life.
Pregnant in October and giving birth once.
The original owner was lying on the delivery bed that had been prepared long ago. At this time, she was less than two months away from turning eighteen.
Su Yanqing will return to China next month.
Unfortunately, the fetus was too big and the original owner had a difficult delivery. She heard Wu Wenyue and the midwife outside the delivery room say, "Save the baby."
"Cousin, save me, I don't want to die." The original owner knew that Cao Shixun was also outside the door. Thinking that she would see her brother soon, she mustered up the courage to shout, "Cousin, save me, I want to see my brother again."
But just as he said this, Wu Wenyue, who had hurried in, slapped him in the face: "What are you yelling about? Save your strength and give birth to my grandson."
"Save me, save me." The original owner only felt a movement under his body, and a hot current rushed something out.
"Amitabha!" the midwife chanted, "My aunt's blood brought the baby out. If the stalemate continues for a while, I guess the baby won't be saved."
Wu Wenyue nodded with satisfaction. Just as she was about to say a few more words, she heard the midwife exclaim, "Why won't this child cry?"
"What?" Wu Wenyue was afraid that there was something wrong with her grandson, and she didn't care that the original owner was disheveled and shouted to the outside of the door, "Doctor, come in and see my grandson."
The doctor naturally did not dare to offend the Cao family, but when he came in and saw the woman in labor with her legs spread out, his first reaction was to turn around and leave.
But Wu Wenyue hurriedly stopped him: "Why are you running? I asked you to come over to see my grandson."
The doctor's eyes signaled the midwife to clean up the woman. Wu Wenyue saw this action and said with a pursed mouth, "Don't pay attention to her. She's cracked and bleeding so much. I guess it will only take a stick of incense to last."
"Oh!" The doctor sighed and turned his eyes away, no longer looking at the original owner, then began to take the pulse of the newborn baby.
"This child has a heart problem." The doctor felt a pulse that was different from normal. "And he is not incapable of crying. He may be deaf."
As he spoke, he picked up the copper basin beside him and knocked it a few times very hard. The baby in the cradle showed no reaction except for his rapid breathing.
Wu Wenyue didn't believe it at first, but not long after, the child's breathing became more and more rapid, and his face slowly turned blue-purple.
"Doctor!" Wu Wenyue grabbed the other person's hand, her expression becoming even more anxious.
The doctor shook his head and said, "It's no use. This child's illness is congenital. Madam, please accept my condolences!"
Having said this he walked out.
The original owner was lying there, breathing out more than breathing in, and his mouth opened and closed as if he was saying something.
Wu Wenyue was so disgusted by her appearance that she waved her hand and asked the midwife to listen to what she said!
When the midwife approached the original owner, she met her resentful eyes. She felt a chill in her heart. She wanted to not go there, but was afraid of being blamed by the master's family. She could only bite the bullet and put her ear close to the original owner's mouth to listen to what she said.
"I curse your Cao family, your descendants will wither and there will be no one behind you." At this time, the original owner could only make a weak sound, "I want Cao Shixun and Xie Wanru to be a couple of grudges for the rest of their lives, and they can't be separated or healed."
After saying these words, the original owner died.
After her death, her hands were still stretched towards the door and her eyes were still open.
The midwife knew that this was a very bad omen that the baby would die with his eyes open.
As if knowing that its mother had passed away, the newborn baby also died.
Two people died in front of her, but Wu Wenyue had no guilt at all. She just gave the dead baby in her hand to the person next to her and said with a frown, "What bad luck!"
As soon as he went out, he saw Cao Shixun waiting at the door. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the child?"
"It was a sick baby and died not long after it was born." Wu Wenyue said it as if the one that died was just a cat or a dog.
Cao Shixun said: "Find a place to dispose of it, just don't bury it in the Cao family's ancestral tomb."
Then he left the villa with Wu Wenyue.
