108 ways to die for supporting characters

Ning Yan came back to her senses immediately, "Hmm? No, no, no, no, let's just buy them and eat them. Chickens are too noisy and smell bad. I, your wife, want to sleep until I wake up naturally every day and don't want to be knocked out by the stench."

She and the Taoist priest got a total of more than 30,000 taels of silver from the Ji family. They each took half, and she got more than 10,000 taels. Even if she did nothing in her life, the silver would be enough for her to spend.

Erya pouted and asked, "How expensive is it to buy food?" But the lady disagreed, so she didn't dare to say anything more.

"Silly girl, if you have nothing to do, go to the street and buy something good for your wife."

Erya stopped talking. The food at home was already delicious. It seemed that the Madam was not very wealthy, so she should save that little money.

Time passed quickly, and good news came from Wuyang Marquis' Mansion. The second young master's wife, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, had been pregnant for more than a month.

At this time, someone finally mentioned the missing Taoist priest and his poor disciple (after all, he had no name until his death).
At the same time, Ji Wuyou presented the recipes for childbirth and conditioning at the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet.

The emperor desperately wanted a legitimate son, so he appointed Ji Wuyou as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Revenue on the spot, promoting him twice in a row. He is now very proud of himself.

A way to have children. The emperor now has only two sons and one daughter. There are many concubines in the palace who don’t have children. Knowing that the Ji family has such a good thing, who wouldn’t want it?
The Ji Mansion suddenly became bustling. The doorman was so busy receiving invitations every day that his hands were tired. The second wife's child was three months old and she was either entertaining guests at home or going out for banquets. A small recipe for having a child became her ladder to enter the upper class.

When Ning Yan heard the news at home, the smile on her face was filled with mockery in her eyes.

Some people can kill themselves if you tempt them a little.

Two months later, on New Year's Eve in the palace, good news came out that seven concubines were pregnant, but there was no queen.

It was a great joy that the emperor had a queen, but because of these seven pregnant women, the palace was in chaos.

After the palace banquet, the emperor went to the queen's palace. It was obvious that he had been working hard for the queen recently most of his time, and he only paid a little attention to the other concubines. However, all those who paid attention became pregnant, while the empress, who worked hard, did not.

When the seven concubines were revealed to be pregnant, one can imagine how the Queen felt, and the Emperor immediately sent people to investigate.

In less than two hours, the emperor's people found out that these seven concubines had all been given fertility pills by Madam Ji Er, but the pills made with the recipe were of no use at all when the empress took them.

The emperor was not convinced and planned to work hard in the queen's palace every day until she became pregnant with a son.

Ji Wuyou, who had no qualifications to enter the palace and attend the palace banquet, knew nothing about it at this time.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the families of several concubines in the palace sent him gifts of thanks, which made him very happy.

As a result, he became more fond of Cui. He had completely forgotten about the eldest lady and her three children.

In the blink of an eye it was March.

News spread from the Ji Mansion that the eldest lady had passed away.

The eldest lady, who was once high and mighty, died in a very ugly manner. Her belly was swollen like a small basin, and she was as thin as a bamboo pole, as if a layer of human skin was wrapped around her skeleton, and she no longer looked like a human being.

The eldest lady's funeral was extremely simple. Her body was kept for only three days before being carried out for burial.

Originally Ji Wuyou was afraid that Yue's family would cause him trouble, but now he was so proud of himself that he didn't take his father-in-law, the Minister, seriously at all.

Because of the death of the eldest lady, the two children she gave birth to were finally released. However, the younger girl was only breathing her last breath, and the older one became silent and didn't even talk at all.

As for the maids who served the eldest lady, they disappeared without a trace after her death.

Ning Yan finally took action. She had nothing to do, so she went to help the midwife.

The three people in the family didn't understand what she was doing, but she was the master and they were the servants, so they could only watch. In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the second wife gave birth.

The people in Ji Mansion hurriedly invited a midwife, but it turned out that the midwife Zhang, whom they had booked in advance, had gone out of town to help deliver a baby, so she showed up.

She put on makeup and dressed up as an old woman in her fifties. She claimed that her surname was Hou and she had delivered countless babies, all of whom were safe. The servant was desperate and tried all kinds of medical treatments, so Ning Yan was taken to Ji Mansion.

At this time, the Ji family was in a state of chaos. Old Madam Ji, Master Ji, and Ji Wuyou were all waiting outside the delivery room.

Ning Yan followed Madam Wu into the delivery room, washed her hands, and then examined Cui. She spoke in an old-fashioned voice, "Don't worry, it's just starting, it's still too early to give birth. This is the second lady's first baby, so it will be slow.

Besides, the second wife's belly is a bit big this time, so it's best for her to get up and walk around the house and yard. If it hurts, take a break, and then continue walking after the pain subsides. At least the birth will be faster."

Another midwife also agreed, "This belly is indeed a bit big."

Aunt Wu's brows were furrowed with worry.

She also felt that the second wife's baby was a little big, and was worried that it would be difficult to give birth, so she quickly helped the second wife get out of bed and walk.

The second wife's face was wrinkled in pain, but she had to go anyway.

It's strange. She was very careful about her diet during pregnancy. She ate small meals frequently every day and was always 80% full. However, she didn't gain weight, but her belly got bigger day by day, as if she was pregnant with twins. But after Dr. Yi took her pulse, he found that it was not the case at all. There was only one baby in her belly.

When she heard the midwife say that her belly was big, she became even more worried.

The master and the servant walked into the yard. The old lady was puzzled, "Why are you out again? Is this okay?"

Ning Yan deliberately said: "Second Madam's baby is a little big this time, it may be difficult to give birth, walking will make it smoother."

The old lady was very experienced. She turned her head and winked at her second son. The mother and son left the yard and walked under the willow tree outside the yard. After making sure that there was no one around, she whispered, "Those babies in the village who are too big usually have difficult births. You'er, don't be confused later."

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"If there is a difficult birth, remember to keep the baby.

Our family has few children, and you have worked hard for five years to only have three children..."

Ji Wuyou's eyes were deep. Not only that, he would never be able to have children again in the future.

Therefore, the fetus in Cui's belly must be born.

"Mom, I know what to do."

He longs for a child more than his mother does, and he really can't make it.

The baby in Cui's belly was the last child of his life.

Nothing can happen!
Ning Yan stood at a corner of the courtyard wall with a normal expression, neither happy nor sad.

She had very good hearing, and even though the two people outside the wall spoke in a very low voice, she could still hear it clearly. She had expected this result a long time ago. After all, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.

To men like Ji Wuyou, women are symbols of power and status, helpers in managing the harem, decorations, and tokens of honor. They are everything, but also items that can be discarded at any time.

It's ridiculous to talk about love with him. In his heart, power is the most important thing. (End of this chapter)
