The Yao Clan's body smelled strongly of cosmetics. Unlike Qin Yining, who was used to using Bing Tang, which smelled faintly of jasmine, the Yao Clan's body only smelled of rose.
Qin Yining wasn't used to the smell, but fortunately, her nausea and discomfort had subsided, so she didn't show any abnormalities.
After entering the room, the Yao Clan looked at the elegant screen of magpies on branches. She frowned and said with disdain, "The color of this screen is not good. It's too plain. You're pregnant, so you need to see more festive colors. I'll ask someone to replace it with a better one. "
"Thank you, Old Madam. I'm used to this screen. If you change it to a new one, I won't be used to it. Just leave it there." Qin Yining smiled.
The Yao Clan said with dissatisfaction, "You're young and don't understand. Now that you're pregnant, the room should be more festive."
"Is that so?" Qin Yining frowned in confusion and said, "But the imperial physician also said that too many vibrant colors in the room will make people uneasy in summer. The bedding used before was red, so it was removed. Now that you mention it, I don't know who to listen to. "
Pang Xiao said, "It's your own house. If you find it pleasing to the eye, you can live comfortably. I think that screen is good. There's no need to change it. "
The Yao Clan was rejected by Qin Yining, and her son didn't speak up for her. She was full of anger, but it wasn't the right time to show her emotions.
Yao Clan didn't say anything. She affectionately held Qin Yining's arm and walked around the screen to the side hall. She pulled her to sit on the warm couch by the window.
Seeing Qin Yining carefully sit down with his hands on his belly and Pang Xiao protecting her like a mother hen, the Yao Clan couldn't help but feel jealous. She felt that her son was now biased towards an outsider and didn't care about his mother anymore.
"Now that your body is heavy, it's inconvenient for you to walk around. Since it's inconvenient for you to come to the Pine Crane Hall in the future, I'll come to visit you more often."
Qin Yining sat sideways, lowered his eyes, and said, "Old Madam, whenever you come to visit, your daughter-in-law will always welcome you."
"Look at her sweet mouth." Yao Clan smiled and waved to Xun He and Mi He behind him, saying, "I've asked them to prepare some chicken soup. It's simmered with some ingredients that are good for your body. The oil in the soup has also been filtered out. Have a taste. "
Mi He and Xun He carried the food box over and took out a clay pot with a cotton cloth. They opened the lid of the clay pot.
Qin Yining smelled the light and fragrant chicken soup and didn't feel uncomfortable. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Old Madam."
"We're family. Why are you being so courteous?" Yao Clan leaned over and gently patted Qin Yining's stomach.
"This is the eldest grandson of our Pang Family."
Qin Yining stroked his stomach and smiled. He didn't say anything.
This sentence made Qin Yining very uncomfortable in her heart.
Could it be that if she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't be able to afford a bowl of soup from their family?
She knew that the Yao Clan didn't treat her as one of their own, but when she heard the Yao Clan express so bluntly that it was because of the baby in her stomach, she still felt very uncomfortable. It was an indescribable feeling. Qin Yining didn't know if others felt the same way, but she couldn't control her emotions.
Xun He and Mi He went to get a small bowl and a spoon. Yao Clan personally served Qin Yining the chicken soup.
Pang Xiao also pulled a chair to the side and said, "Mother, get me a bowl too. It smells so good. I want to eat it too."
Yao Clan glared at Pang Xiao and said angrily, "How old are you? Are you fighting with your wife and son for food? You're not allowed to eat it. These are all prepared for Sister Yi. There's not much in total. If you eat it, what will your wife eat? "
"What are you afraid of? Sister Yi doesn't eat or play. I'll help her eat some so that it won't go to waste. "
As he spoke, he got up and went to get the bowl of soup prepared by Yao Clan.
Yao Clan quickly dodged and slapped the back of Pang Xiao's hand. "Go away. Don't fight with Sister Yi." When he faced Qin Yining, he smiled kindly and said, "Ignore him. Eat it while it's hot."
Qin Yining smiled and took the chicken soup. He gently placed it on the square table in front of him and said, "This is the time to take pregnancy stabilizing medicine. It's said to be for an empty stomach. I'll take the medicine first and use the chicken soup to change the taste in my mouth. "
Pang Xiao nodded, "That's good." He turned around and ordered the people outside, "Bring the Princess Consort's pregnancy stabilizing medicine."
Not long after, he saw Bing Tang carrying a black wooden tray. On top of the tray was a small white porcelain bowl filled with half a bowl of black medicinal liquid. She slowly walked over to the front.
"Princess Consort."
Qin Yining picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp.
That black medicine didn't smell good. Yao Clan felt that it didn't smell good when they smelled it. But now, it was drunk in one gulp.
In the end, she wasn't raised in a noble family. When she was young, she was tainted with the aura of the marketplace. But she was actually so rough. She drank medicine as if she drank wine.
Yao Clan lowered their heads. They thought of those noble young ladies they had seen in the Pang Family. Compared to Qin Yining, they felt that they were not pleasing to the eye.
When Qin Yining was taking the medicine, Bing Tang had been observing the expressions of the Yao Clan. When she saw that the Yao Clan looked down on Qin Yining but pretended to be gentle, she was secretly angry.
Then, her gaze fell on the soup bowl on the table.
In the thick aroma of the chicken soup and the delicate fragrance of chopped green onions, there seemed to be a familiar and slightly bitter taste.
What was it?
Bing Tang smiled and said, "Old Madame is so considerate. Is there anything good in this chicken soup?"
Yao Clan didn't expect that a little girl would dare to speak to her face. Sure enough, she wasn't a noble young lady. She didn't even know how to discipline her servants.
Yao Clan cursed in her heart and was too lazy to bother with Bing Tang.
Bing Tang didn't get angry, but she didn't apologize either. She only smiled and said to Qin Yining, "Wangfei, you have taken the medicine. You need to rest quietly for an hour. It's best if you don't eat anything. Otherwise, the medicine in the chicken soup will clash with your miscarriage prevention medicine."
Qin Yining heard Bing Tang say what she needed now and secretly praised Bing Tang's cleverness. She said with a troubled expression, "Old Madame specially sent the chicken soup. It's still warm. It'll be a pity if I don't eat it. "
"Yes." Yao Clan was a little anxious and vigilant, "That medicine is quite bitter. You should at least eat a bowl of chicken soup to change the taste in your mouth."
Bing Tang sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she smiled and said, "It's better not to eat it. Wait for an hour and I'll cook the chicken soup for Wangfei. I won't let down Old Madame's good intentions. It's just that the medicine will clash if you eat it now. "
"You, impudent!" Yao Clan was continuously rejected. The dissatisfaction in the letter reached its limit.
Pang Xiao saw that Bing Tang was trying to stop Qin Yining from eating the chicken soup and was alarmed. She smiled and said, "It's fine. Mother, don't be angry. Sister Yi has a good appetite now. It'll be the same if the chicken soup is heated up later. I guarantee you won't let down your good intentions. It's just a small matter. Don't be so calculative with the little girl. "
She turned and waved at Bing Tang, "Why aren't you leaving?"
Bing Tang immediately bent her knees and complied. She also moved the pot of chicken soup and the small bowl of chicken soup onto the tray. She walked away as if she was flying. The Yao Clan couldn't stop her in time.
Yao Clan was dissatisfied and wanted to scold her. However, the Yao Clan noticed that Pang Xiao was looking at her strangely. If she said anything more, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.
Yao Clan's mouth twitched stiffly. She squeezed out a smile and said, "It's fine. Let's rest for a while before eating. If you want to eat anything in the future, you can tell me. You can also tell me if you want to eat anything. You are now our family's hero. Don't be ashamed and treat yourself unfairly. "
"Thank you, Old Madam." Qin Yining listened to her pretending to be concerned. Her heart didn't waver at all.
Yao Clan said a few more words to Qin Yining. No matter what she said, Qin Yining remained indifferent. She felt bored and got up to leave.
As soon as Yao Clan left, Pang Xiao immediately called Bing Tang over.
"What's with the soup just now?"
At first, he wanted to eat it, but Yao Clan stopped him. Later, Bing Tang looked at it and said that the medicinal properties of the soup conflicted with each other. Then, he brazenly took the soup away. Bing Tang wasn't an unreasonable person. He was also proficient in medicine. There must be something wrong with the chicken soup.
Bing Tang looked at Qin Yining. He hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind and said, "Wang Ye, there were medicinal herbs and Codonopsis pilosula in the chicken soup. It was originally very good. However, perhaps the kitchen staff was careless and added safflower in the chicken soup. This servant smelled it and felt that something was wrong. When I brought it down, I carefully tasted it and confirmed that there was safflower in it.
"You also know that safflower has the effect of promoting blood circulation, dispersing blood stasis, and relieving pain. If it was used by a normal person, it wouldn't be a problem. However, if it was used by a pregnant woman, the consequences would be unimaginable."
At this point, Bing Tang saw that Pang Xiao's expression was so cold that it could freeze someone to death. His legs went weak and he knelt down.
"Wang Ye, please calm down. I shouldn't say more. However, if this matter isn't solved, the one who will suffer in the future will be Wang Ye. These days, when I was walking in the mansion, I often heard people in Pine Crane Hall talk about Old Madam being grounded. Some people said that the reason why Old Madam was so angry that she locked Old Madam up and moved away from Pine Crane Hall was because, because … "
At this point, Bing Tang suddenly regretted. She really shouldn't have said such words in front of Qin Yining. It made him sad. It was so difficult to be pregnant with twins. However, the people in this family were not happy and even doubted her chastity.
Pang Xiao had already understood. He knew that Bing Tang was worried about Qin Yining's mood, so he didn't continue to say anything. He sighed and said, "I know. You can leave first. "
"Yes." Bing Tang stood up, glanced at Qin Yining worriedly, and left.
Qin Yining looked at Bing Tang and sighed, "Let's forget about this matter. I didn't eat the soup. What's more, it wasn't made by Old Madam. Maybe the servants made a mistake. "
In fact, if it was an outsider who wanted to harm her child, Qin Yining would have already killed him.
However, Qin Yining couldn't do anything now.
