Chapter 276: The Daughter of a Minor Official Whose Family Was Destroyed by Someone (2)
The original owner brought two maids into the palace, one was Peach and the other was Orange.
One of them was good at arithmetic and was in charge of the original owner's warehouse, and the other was an excellent cook, so he was in charge of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the two.
The original owner was thinking that after she gave birth to the child, she would prepare a dowry for the two of them and find them to marry into a good family.
It’s a pity that the original owner died for her loyalty during childbirth.
Shuangshuang moved deliberately, and a pretty maid pulled open the curtain.
Seeing that Shuangshuang woke up, he asked quickly.
"Ma'am, you're awake. Would you like some water?"
"No, go call Orange over here. I have something to say."
The oranges arrived quickly.
Knowing that Shuangshuang was about to give birth, the two maids did not go back to their rooms to sleep.
Instead, they took turns, one sleeping on the chaise longue in the outer room, while the other took a nap on the footstool in front of the original owner's bed.
When Juzi came in, she knelt down and bowed, "Madam, what do you want from me?"
Shuangshuang's face was not as gentle as usual, and she spoke to the two of them very seriously.
"Well, I do have something to tell you."
"Madam, please give your orders!"
"I'm about to give birth, but I'm feeling unsure. Taozi, go get the dagger I've hidden away in the bottom of my box.
Each of you should carry one, and be sure to carry it close to your body.
No matter who attacks you in this mansion, stab them back with all your might!
Don’t worry about life or death, understand?”
The original owner was raised in the countryside by the old couple of the Yan family. When he was a child, he climbed trees to catch birds and went into the water to catch fish.
Moreover, she was the only daughter in their family, so her grandparents loved her very much.
Especially my grandfather, who used to be a bodyguard when he was young and had some real skills.
Their son, daughter-in-law and two grandsons are studying outside, so the old couple has always kept their only granddaughter by their side and raised her carefully.
Not only did he let the original owner go to the clan school to study and learn calligraphy, but he also took her to stand and practice horse stance every morning.
From time to time, he would take her to the mountains to shoot bows and hunt.
The main reason was that she had just given birth to a child and her body was too weak.
Of course, Chen Yunsheng had it in mind, so she wouldn't necessarily die like this.
When the two maids heard that Shuangshuang was about to give birth, they panicked, after all, they had no experience in giving birth before.
Taozi quickly calmed down and said quickly.
"Then, young lady, I will go and get the midwife right away!"
They both shook their heads, "There's no rush for that! As the saying goes, one should always be on guard against others.
No one in this palace can be trusted except the three of us.
Therefore, we cannot speak out unless it is absolutely necessary."
When the two maids heard Shuangshuang say this, they were immediately frightened.
"Young lady, what on earth happened? Please don't scare me!"
"Yes, Miss! Who doesn't hire a midwife when giving birth, and even brings a knife?"
The two were so frightened that they even forgot to call her Madam, and instead called her Miss, as they used to call her in the boudoir.
Shuangshuang saw the pale faces of the two maids and quickly comforted them in a soft voice.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid.
I just had a nightmare, so I thought I'd bring something with me for protection.
Don't ask so many questions, just listen to me and get ready."
"Yes, my lady, the servants will prepare it now."
"Go ahead. From now on, no matter who in this palace asks you to do something, you are not allowed to go.
Just stay in my room, understand?"
The two maids realized the seriousness of the matter when they heard their mistress speak so righteously.
They all nodded in assurance to each other with serious faces.
"Don't worry, miss!
The servants will never leave you even a step."
Then Taozi quickly went to Shuangshuang's warehouse and took out the two daggers that the original owner's grandfather had specially made for him as a gift.
The two maids took off their outer coats, tied the scabbards to their waists, and put on their outer coats. If you didn't pay attention, you couldn't notice it at all.
Shuangshuang thought for a moment and continued to instruct the two, “Go to my small kitchen and get two more kitchen knives, sharpen them and bring them here.
One was placed under my pillow, and the other was placed under the bedsheet in the delivery room."
When the two maids saw Shuangshuang like this, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.
Taozi stammered, "Miss, what the hell is going on?
Otherwise, I should go back and invite the old lady and our lady over?"
"Yes, Miss, I am really unsure of what to do. Please don't scare me!"
They both nodded, "We must invite grandma and mother.
But it's not daybreak yet, so you can't go out.
Don't be anxious, wait until daybreak.
After dawn, Taozi, you go back in person.
As for now, Orange, go to the small kitchen and boil some more water."
According to the original owner's memory, Chen Yunsheng was not in the mansion tonight and would not come back until tomorrow morning after giving birth.
Therefore, both of them guessed that he was probably fooling around with his long-time attendant Ruochun outside the mansion.
Anyway, most of the time, the original owner would find him coming back early in the morning.
Or we would just meet in the evening and then go out again.
Asked Xiaojuzi, "Where is Chen Yunsheng now?"
Little Orange replied after a while, "Just as you guessed, that bastard and his long-time follower Ruochun have a special home outside.
And there was more than one place. The one that the original owner's father discovered later was just a tiny one.
They usually go directly to those places for trysts!"
After the original owner died, the Yan family was unwilling to believe that the original owner, who was in excellent health, would die like this.
What is most suspicious is that the two servants who were brought as dowry from the Yan Mansion by the original owner were all buried alive.
It's impossible. Even if the daughter really died of childbirth, she would at least entrust her child to the two maids before her death.
Yan Yusheng also made one or two good friends in Beijing at this time, and he felt it was a pity to see the original owner die at such a young age.
So, intentionally or unintentionally, he took Yan Yusheng to the small courtyard where Chen Yunsheng and Ruchun were having an affair.
The original owner was Yan Yusheng's eldest daughter and his only daughter, so he naturally loved her since childhood.
How could I not hate her when I saw her die in such an unclear way?
Unfortunately, when he was secretly planning how to expose the affair between Chen Yunsheng and Ruchun to the world, he was discovered by Chen Yunsheng's lackeys.
In order to eliminate future troubles, Chen Yunsheng directly framed Yan Yusheng and implicated him in a case of treason.
In the end, the entire Yan family was executed!
However, the child that the original owner gave birth to after a life-threatening situation was adopted by Princess Leling and given to the Crown Prince's wife who had not given birth for several years after entering the family.
From then on, the original owner was removed from the Leling Palace and no one ever mentioned the original owner again.
That would be fine, but the Crown Prince's wife was also vicious. When she had no son, she plotted against the original owner's son.
After a few more years, she was lucky enough to get pregnant. Less than three months after her child was born, the original owner's son was drowned in a lotus pond.
