After a day and a night,
The Jia Chang Clan finally gave birth to the child,
At this moment, the Jia Chang Clan was already extremely weak.
"Not good,
Hemorrhage, "the midwife exclaimed.
"Go, call Master in," the Jia Chang Clan said.
"Yes." Just as Dianmo was about to go out, Jia Xie, who heard the commotion in the room, ran in with the child in her arms.
"Are you okay?" Jia Xie stretched out a hand,
She caressed the face of the Jia Chang Clan.
The Jia Chang Clan revealed a smile,
He said, "Master, please help me call Zheng'er's wife over."
"Okay, okay." Jia Xie quickly gave Dianmo a look.
Dianmo nodded, tears streaming down her face,
She ran out.
"Why did you call me? What's the matter?" Xia Lu felt strange,
She was now mourning, and the Chang Clan was giving birth. If she went over now, wouldn't it be a conflict?
"Our grandmother is hemorrhaging,
She wants to see you,
She begs Young Mistress Zhen to go over and take a look at our grandmother, "Dianmo cried.
"What?" Xia Lu was shocked,
She quickly said, "I'll go with you now."
"I'll go with you too." Jia Zhen also stood up,
She accompanied Xia Lu to Xi Province.
Xia Lu walked into the delivery room,
He smelled the stench of blood.
Xia Lu tried her best to hold back the smell.
She came to the bedside of the Jia Chang Clan,
She found that the Jia Mother, the Jia Wang Clan, and Jia Xie were all there. The imperial physician was trying to find a way to treat them. "Uncle She, Aunt She, I'm here." Xia Lu looked at the Chang Clan. Xia Lu looked at the Jia Chang Clan lying on the bed and felt that this person was not the Jia Chang Clan she was familiar with. The Jia Clan should be gentle, and their eyes would flash with light from time to time, not like this, lying on the bed haggard.
"You're here, Master. Give the child to Zheng 'er's wife," the Jia Chang Clan member said in a weak voice.
"Oh." Jia Xie realized and put the child in Xia Lu's arms.
Xia Lu lowered his head and looked at the infant. He didn't quite understand what the Jia Chang Clan meant.
"From now on, I'll hand this child over to Zheng'er's wife to raise. The child support fee will be my dowry." The Jia Chang Clan's words were shocking.
Xia Lu was frightened. Everyone in the room was frightened, including the imperial physician who was treating the patient. However, the imperial physician was only surprised for a moment. After being surprised, he pretended not to know anything and continued to treat the patient.
"She Daughter-in-law, are you crazy? This child is She 'er's legitimate son. How can we let Zheng' er's daughter-in-law raise him? "Mrs. Jia was so angry that her whole body was trembling. What was the Jia Chang Clan doing? They clearly didn't trust her, their mother-in-law, and actually let an outsider raise their child.
Xia Lu quickly shook his head. This was a hot potato.
"Zheng 'er's daughter-in-law, won't you be the wife of the head of the Jia family in the future? It's quite normal for the matron of the Jia family to raise my child. "The Jia Chang Clan was panting heavily as he spoke. Ever since her father died with the Crown Prince and the Zhang family was in trouble, she kept thinking about who to entrust the child to if she didn't make it through this delivery. Husband and her were very loving at this time. He would definitely marry a stepwife in the future. Having a stepmother would mean having a stepfather. She didn't dare to take the risk. Therefore, she thought of the Jia Zhen's daughter-in-law.
Zheng 'er's daughter-in-law was smart and had her own principles. Her foresight wasn't comparable to ordinary women in the inner courtyard. It just so happened that Jing Da Ge's youngest son was also being raised by Zheng' er's daughter-in-law. When the time came, her own child would have a companion. If there was no Zheng 'er's daughter-in-law, she could only hand her own son over to her mother-in-law to raise. In the end, he was her own grandson. Perhaps she couldn't teach him well, but his life shouldn't be in danger. At this time, she thought of Jia Hu.
Xia Lu secretly complained in his heart. Dear, you can't trick me like this. Xia Lu didn't even dare to look at Mother Jia's face.
"She 'er, say something. What's your wife like now?" Mother Jia was so angry that her whole body trembled.
Jia Xie pursed his lips and didn't speak. He looked sadly at the Jia Chang Clan. Even he didn't believe it? Jia Xie's eyes streamed with tears. He said: "Since it's Ruo Lin's wish, I have no objections."
Mother Jia was so angry that she directly said: "Your wife is muddle-headed. Are you muddle-headed too?" Mother Jia never thought that the Jia Chang Clan would play such a trick on her before they died. They were just short of openly announcing to the world that she wasn't merciful.
"Thank you, Master." When the Jia Chang Clan heard Jia Xie's reply, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. She continued: "My dowry will be left to this child. The servants who serve me will be handed over to Master. When I'm no longer around, I hope that they can continue to serve Master well in my place." The Jia Chang Clan could clearly feel that their lives were slipping away. She had to make arrangements as soon as possible. Since she had handed the child over to Zheng 'er's daughter-in-law, there was no way she would give her servants to Zheng' er's daughter-in-law. When the time came, what if these servants became arrogant and used a chicken feather as a command arrow to cause trouble for Zheng 'er's daughter-in-law? Since she had chosen Zheng' er's daughter-in-law, there was no way she would give her servants to her.
"Chang Clan, let me tell you, don't think that you can make such arrangements just because you're pitiful here. My grandson from Rongguo Province will never be raised by an outsider," Mother Jia said angrily.
The Jia Chang Clan looked at Mother Jia with a weak smile and said: "What if my child never inherits the title of nobility in Rongguo Province?" The Jia Chang Clan knew very well why Mother Jia disliked her Husband so much. Wasn't it because her Husband had effortlessly obtained the title of nobility?
Mother Jia fell silent, but the Jia Wang Clan's eyes lit up.
Xia Lu held the child and was a little speechless. They had said so much, but it seemed that they hadn't asked for her opinion. She hadn't even agreed to raise this child.
"Master is here. He's outside," Dian Mo said.
"Help me up." The Jia Chang Clan supported his body and tried to get off the bed.
The imperial physician looked at the Jia Chang Clan and sighed in his heart. If it wasn't for the fact that he was still worried, he would have already passed away. He was powerless to treat him, so he could only follow the Chang Clan. In any case, he had fulfilled his wish.
Jia Xie seemed to have understood the Jia Chang Clan's plan. He silently went forward and carried the Jia Chang Clan out. When he went out, he saw the Jia Daishan. Then, Jia Xie helped the Jia Chang Clan to kneel in front of the Jia Daishan. He also knelt next to the Chang Clan and said: "Master, we want to let Zheng 'er's wife raise the child."
The Jia Daishan fell silent. He looked at his daughter-in-law, who had just given birth, and then at his son. He then looked at the group of people who had followed them out and sighed in his heart. How did things come to this? "Daughter-in-law, have you thought it through?" The Jia Daishan asked.
"Yes." The Jia Chang Clan nodded weakly. If it wasn't for Jia Xie supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground, not to mention kneeling.
"Has She 'er also agreed?" the Jia Daishan asked.
"Agreed." The Jia Xie nodded. He had been protected by his wife for so long. He had to help her fulfill her last wish, no matter the cost or whether her request was reasonable or not.
"In that case, Zheng 'er's wife, we'll have to trouble you. After all, Lian' er is the eldest legitimate grandson of Rongguo Province and will inherit Rongguo Province in the future. We'll give you two thousand taels of silver every year for your daily expenses. When Lian 'er turns twelve, we'll give him five thousand taels of silver every year for his social activities. After Lian' er inherits the title of nobility, She 'er, you must immediately make Lian' er the heir. Do you understand?" the Jia Daishan said.
"Yes." The Jia Xie nodded.
A smile of relief appeared on Jia Zhangshi's weak face. She finally relaxed the breath that she had been using to support herself.
"Quickly carry your wife inside." The Jia Daishan had seen countless people die on the battlefield. He naturally understood that the Chang Clan was holding on to her last breath. Now that she was relieved, her life was coming to an end.
"Zheng 'er's wife, I'll have to trouble you with Lian' er. Don't worry, no one in Rongguo Province will doubt your upbringing of Lian 'er. The Chang Clan believes in you, and I also believe in you. You don't have to feel burdened." The Jia Daishan walked to Xia Lu and looked at his grandson in Xia Lu's arms. He couldn't help but feel resentment towards the Emperor.
At this time, what else could Xia Lu say? She couldn't say anything. She could only silently agree that she would raise Jia Lian well.
The Jia Zhen walked over and took Xia Lu into his arms.
"I don't think I can make it. I'm sorry that I did such a willful thing before I left. I'm afraid that Madam will dislike you even more in the future." The Chang Clan's wife stroked the Jia Xie's face. She felt guilty towards Jia Xie.
"It's okay, as long as you're happy. Madam didn't like me in the first place, so it's okay if she dislikes me even more now." Jia Xie held the Chang Clan's hand and couldn't stop crying. He wanted to ask the Chang Clan if she didn't believe in him and didn't believe that he could protect their child well. However, Jia Xie couldn't get an answer. Thinking of Jia Hu's death, he had to admit that he really couldn't protect Lian 'er well. Compared to the population of the East Prefecture, their Xi Province was simply a sieve.
"After I leave, take good care of yourself. I'm not worried about Lian 'er. She has Zheng' er's wife to take care of her. The only thing I'm worried about is you. You have to take good care of yourself in the future. If you marry a new wife, treat her better. However, I still don't want you to forget me after you marry a new wife. On this day every year, why don't you toast me to the moon?" The Chang Clan's wife said.
"Don't be silly. You'll get better soon." Jia Xie wiped the tears on her face.
The Chang Clan's wife smiled sadly. How could she not know about her body? She felt so cold now, as if her whole body was frozen. However, she didn't dare to say it out loud because she was afraid that Jia Xie wouldn't be able to take it. "Before grandmother passed away, she entrusted you to me and asked me to take good care of you. Now, I can only entrust you to my sister who I haven't met yet. I hope she can take good care of you."
"It's all my fault. I can't bear the responsibility. You have to take care of me everywhere." Jia Xie was sobbing.
"Silly girl, it's all my pleasure. Meeting you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me." The Chang Clan's wife didn't have the strength to continue speaking. She slowly closed her eyes and said, "I'll sleep for a while. Just a little while."
"Don't, don't sleep." Jia Xie looked at the Chang Clan. His hand, which was holding the Chang Clan's, was slowly losing its warmth.
Dian Mo walked out and reported, "Grandmother has passed away."
Xia Lu's eyes immediately turned red. She looked at the unconscious child in her arms and couldn't take it anymore. She directly buried her face in the Jia Zhen's arms.
Jia Daishan looked at the imperial physician and said, "Come with me."
Jia Daishan brought the imperial physician to the study and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the delivery room?"
"This old official smelled the scent of safflower, but the smell of blood is too strong. This old official can't be sure." The imperial physician was helpless. This kind of trouble was most likely to happen in the backyard of a big family.
