From the looks of it, in Lian Yanqing's eyes, the most important thing was the direct descendant's technique. The babies in the Xiao family's belly couldn't even compare to a single hair on their head.
”Mother, this Xiao Clan still has uncle's flesh and blood in their stomach. Is it really going to end like this?” Mrs Liu thought, ”No one can be as fierce as this uncle.”
”Lian's flesh and blood will never be left behind, and Lian's flesh and blood must return to their ancestors. When the Xiao Clan gives birth, I will send Lian Xi and Senior Servant Song to bring the child back, and since the Xiao Clan has already left the Lian Clan, there is no reason for them to return.” Lian Mu's mother said with a stern expression.
”If that's the case, we might have a chance. However, the Xiao Clan is in trouble.” Mrs Liu said with a faint smile.
”She got what she deserved! If you don't make a proper wife, you will never be able to harm others. ” Lian Mu said angrily.
Mrs Liu pursed her lips and no longer dared to speak.
”I think that Shi Ya'er is really scared.” Second Wife Hu saw the situation and took over. ”In the past, there were always people helping from the side in everything. They gave her advice and stood up for her. Now, she's the only one left, so she has no choice but to compromise.”
”That might not be the case. That mother and daughter pair have a lot of playthings. Who knows what sort of tricks they're playing.” Mrs Liu, on the other hand, disapproved.
”Bam!” When Lian Mu heard this, she suddenly stood up, knocked the ground hard with her cane, and angrily said, ”If she dares to cause any more trouble, I will twist her hair, remove her from the family tree, send her to a nunnery, and never step into Lian's house again.”
Mrs Liu jumped in fright. She didn't know what had happened to her mother these days. Her emotions were volatile and irritable, and she was always angry.
Lady Yan, the gentle Fourth Wife, hurried over and caressed her chest. ”Mother, don't get too excited. With that child's current state, he won't be able to create any trouble. Mother, please take good care of yourself.”
Lian Mu sighed and said, ”I'm old, I'm old. I have to admit that I'm old.”
”Mother, it's all the fault of my daughter-in-law. I shouldn't have said such depressing things in front of you.” Mrs Liu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
”Even if you don't know, these things will still reach my ears. You can all go back, I'll go rest.” As her mother said this, Lian Xi came over and took her hand, helping her into the inner room.
The three madams walked out of Qingan Courtyard together. Madam Liu, who was walking at the side, said in a low voice, ”Second sister, Fourth sister, have you noticed that in these two or three months, mother's body has been much worse?”
”Yeah, it's usually a loud and forceful speech, but now I'm gasping for breath when I get excited a little bit.” Hu Shi also noticed this.
”Mother has always been calm, but she is not a person who is easily angered. Recently, she has indeed been very fond of getting angry.” Lady Yan, who usually spoke very little, also spoke.
”Could it be …” Mrs Liu suddenly had a look of alarm on her face. ”Mother's life isn't long …”
”Don't talk nonsense! If you don't change your words, you'll be like the Xiao family and implicate us. ” Hu Shi immediately scolded.
