Chapter 328 might save my life

She noticed that Jiashan was trembling all over and felt inexplicably uneasy.

Fearing that his mistress might fall ill from the shock, he quickly went after her to comfort her.

"Please calm down. The master has treated you with unwavering devotion for ten years; his affection is genuine. If he knew you had disregarded your health and traveled such a long distance to come here, he would surely..."

"There might be some misunderstanding. Even if there isn't, the person is dead, so there's nothing for the mistress to worry about."

As she spoke, she gave everyone a wink.

The servants all stepped forward to persuade him as well.

"Who dares to stop me!"

Jiashan remained silent.

She pushed these people aside and walked faster and faster in that direction.

But as she got closer, she hesitated.

How could something like this have happened?

Why would someone jump into the river?

Was he forced to jump, or did he jump because he couldn't live anymore?
She didn't know.

They say mothers are strong, but she was weak.

But he dared not ask Uncle Yan, much less listen.

It's the dead of winter, and the river water is so cold.

From the joy she felt upon arrival to the sorrow she felt now, she too plummeted from the heights of happiness to the depths of despair.

Jiashan is having difficulty breathing.

She thought she heard someone crying.

It's the child crying.

The surroundings were chaotic and noisy.

Amidst the sounds of disaster victims banging on the door outside, Meng Pozi's voice was anxious.

"Mistress, please push harder. The conditions are tough right now, but our little master needs to come out ahead of schedule."

Someone was shouting themselves hoarse.

"The mistress is bleeding! Where is the doctor?! Why were the doctors scattered?! Go find them! Go find them now!"

"She gave birth, and it was a girl."

"Oh no, the mistress has fainted. Bishui, you must keep a close eye on the young master."

Her vision began to blur, and her head started to throb. For a moment, she couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion.

No, no, no, Qingying will be fine.

She preferred to deceive herself.

That's not Qingying.

I've been searching in Zexian and the surrounding area for years, but maybe Qingying is somewhere else?
Jia Shan's tone went from trembling to extremely cold.

“Every spring, he would visit Fu Ju and not return home five out of ten times. I knew that he was favored by the Emperor and busy with official duties, so he couldn’t make time for A Wu’s birthday, but I never complained.”

It is accompanied by bitterness.

"But he always comes to Ze County. I wonder what it is about this place that he misses so much, something more important than his daughter's birthday."

"And now, with the year-end approaching, he's come back without a word!"

She closed her eyes, seemingly being unreasonable, yet also venting her frustration. One hand pressed against her chest, where it had begun to convulse, as if it were completely covered in blood.

Jiashan is starting to have difficulty speaking.

"go."

At this moment, she even hoped that Gu Fu really had a new lover outside.

Anyone is fine, as long as it's not Qingying.

She refused to admit it, she wouldn't give up.

"Go and see who it is, even if they're dead, they still cause your master such worry."

Meng Pozi assumed she was just angry and dared not disobey, so she could only obey.

But as she approached step by step and saw the words on the monument, she turned pale with fright and her legs went weak, causing her to fall to the ground.

Yu Tingwan finally saw the words on the tombstone clearly.

It was written by Gu Fuju himself.

The tomb of Qingying, the beloved daughter of the Gu family.

There is another string of words following it.

Fortunately, she was raised by the Yu family and was also known as Tingwan.

Seeing Meng Pozi's reaction, Jia Shan swayed.

she murmured.

"really."

"That shouldn't be the case."

"Qingying, my Qingying."

She couldn't breathe, her vision went black, and she collapsed.

The light was blocked, the surrounding fog thickened, and the scene gradually collapsed.

Wei Zhao had just returned to the room when Yu Tingwan woke up from her dream.

She stood by the window, wearing only a thin undergarment. It was unclear how long she had been standing there or what she was thinking. She didn't respond to the noise.

Wei Zhao frowned and approached.

"Another nightmare?"

Yu Tingwan: "I think so."

Putting everything else aside...

She suppressed her fatigue and turned to look at Wei Zhao: "Can you swim?"

Yu Tingwan pursed her lips: "If you have some free time, why don't you teach me?"

A person like her would never take her own life, even if life was unpleasant.

After all, her parents saved her life. She cherished it more than anyone else.

Yu Tingwan had no idea what had happened in her past life. Where was Wei Zhao back then?

But there was one thing she still felt was very necessary.

Wei Zhao gently rubbed the corner of her eye with his hand. She had cried and had nightmares before, and her eyes were still red and swollen.

Thinking of Yu Tingwan's frequent nightmares, in which she dreamt of her own death and what the Taoist priest Baopu had said, his eyes darkened.

"Why learn this?"

Yu Tingwan: "In preparation for unforeseen circumstances."

She said slowly, "You probably don't believe me."

She didn't know much about her past life, but her path in this life was completely different.

But we always have to be prepared, just in case.
Yu Tingwan: "Maybe it can save my life."

Wei Zhao:......

He suppressed his emotions.

He would never refuse Yu Tingwan's request.

“It’s not cold outside, but the water is cold. It’s not convenient for you, a young lady. When it gets warmer, I’ll take you to a village in the suburbs. There’s a stream there that’s clean and not too deep.”

Before they had even eaten dinner, Wei Zhao had already ordered his servants to send some over.

"Bishui in the manor is still not in a good mental state. But she is not suitable to stay any longer, so I have had someone send her to the Gu family."

Whether or not to deal with the Gu family.

Yu Tingwan responded.

Wei Zhao pondered for a moment, then said, "In a few days, the Duke of Zhou's mansion will have a new baby, and they will definitely send an invitation to the Wei family for the full moon celebration. I originally planned to have my subordinates refuse it."

But now these things are happening.

"Whether you go or not is up to you."

Yu Tingwan's eyes flashed with disgust.

We can wait.

Add some food?

"How did you know the Duke of Zhou's family would have a granddaughter?"

Wei Zhao: "The Empress's people have already sent a royal physician who can read fetal signs to examine the young mistress of the Duke of Zhou's mansion, who is also pregnant and about to give birth. It is a boy."

The Crown Princess is carrying a girl.

Once he said that, Yu Tingwan understood.

This is a plan to switch the two children. The Duke of Zhou and the Empress are incredibly audacious.

Wei Zhao: "I want to take you to join in the fun."

If he says it's lively, then it must be exceptionally lively.

"The Duke of Zhou's mansion has always been hospitable, so I imagine my cousin Yunling will also go and ask for a drink."

Yu Tingwan's eyelids twitched.

Wei Zhao touched her fair and porcelain-like face: "The heir apparent of the Duke's mansion happens to be a woman from the Chu family."

Yu Tingwan asked, "Which Chu family?"

"The Chu family, to which Zhou Yurou, daughter of the Minister of Works, was betrothed."

Yu Tingwan knew that this was Chu Liulang, who had rejected Shen Zhiyi's marriage proposal!
Wei Zhao: "The Duke of Zhou's mansion is not the Chu family. The Shen family is of a lower status, so they won't disrespect the Duke of Zhou's mansion. We have to go to the banquet."

Yu Tingwan: ...

One can imagine how disgusted Shen Zhiyi must have been.

If the Shen family goes, then the Chu family, as in-laws of the Duke of Zhou's family, should definitely go as well.

If they go to the Chu family, how can they not go to the Ministry of Works' residence, which is engaged to the Chu family?
Yu Tingwan took a deep breath. This lineup... is indeed quite exciting.

But that's clearly not enough.

Wei Zhao then added, "The child in the womb of the heir apparent of the Duke of Zhou's mansion is also the offspring of his own elder brother, Chu Liulang."

Xiao Huaiyan said these vulgar things just to amuse himself.

Wei Zhao clearly intended to entertain Yu Tingwan while settling scores.

He said sarcastically, "The Duke of Zhou went to great lengths to push this precious grandson of unknown origin into the palace, his ambition to make him emperor is obvious."

It's such a mess.

Yu Tingwan: ...

Oh wow.

Shura field.

For a moment, she felt completely relaxed.
