Chapter 778 - 373: Losing One’s Mind_1
Pan Yue glanced at Qian Manxia and said, "This is the only way. My family’s master and Yixiu’s son-in-law are not in the capital, we can only ask Wanhao Tuanling for help. Otherwise, Mother Ting will have a hard time."
Qian Manxia nodded and replied, "We must definitely help with this." She added, "Even with help, it’s not something that can be done overnight, and Sister Ting is due to give birth in a month."
Pan Yue nodded and said, "Exactly. Women giving birth should be treated as if they were our ancestors; it’s like having a brush with Yama himself, not to mention others trying to meddle. The child in Mother Ting’s womb has no blood relation to Madam Huo, and she will have no sympathy. To ensure the safety of mother and child, we should plan ahead."
Qian Yixiu snorted coldly and said, "No wonder so many families related by marriage were exterminated, yet there are still those who rush headlong into a dead end. It’s not that they’re foolish; it’s that their eyes and minds are blinded by greed. The Emperor has already granted his favor, and the Crown Prince has shown leniency. Yet they are still not satisfied, and now they even hate our Qian family. Aunt Ting is in a critical situation – I really don’t feel relieved about her returning to the Huo family. Also, we should inform the Crown Prince about this matter so that he pays attention. People can do anything once they lose their sanity."
Pan Yue became even more anxious after hearing this, now that the Qian family had no one else. If anything happened to Qian Manting, she wouldn’t know how to explain to the Qian family. As for the Crown Prince, she would mention it to him when they met in the future.
After discussing the matter, fortunately, Huo Ming was quite sensible. However, as a man busy with affairs outside every day, he could not take care of the inner courtyard. They would have Wan Erniu speak with him, tell him about Madam Huo’s actions, and see if it was possible to bring Qian Manting back to the Qian family to await the birth. They would also let him know that if anything happened to Qian Manting and her child, the Qian family would not let matters rest, and neither would the Wan family, being relatives by marriage. The Crown Prince would certainly be furious once he knew.
Even if they couldn’t bring her back, having Huo Ming aware would prevent Madam Huo from doing something drastic to Qian Manting. Meanwhile, Sister Gong, who served Pan Yue, would be sent to stay with Qian Manting, saying that Pan Yue was worried and wanted her to attend for a while. Sister Gong, formerly from Cining Palace and one of Princess Zhenyue’s people, was not someone the Huo family would dare to offend. Food, medicinal materials, doctors, and midwives would all be provided by the Qian family, and Pan Yue would visit regularly. Once Qian Manting had smoothly finished her confinement and Huo Lixing’s transfer was arranged, they would leave the capital together.
Being powerful and influential was an advantage indeed. The problems others found extremely difficult were resolved after just a discussion among them.
After the men woke up, the women repeated this conversation to them.
Wan Dazhong immediately expressed his position, saying he would talk to his father upon returning and added, "I think it’s best for my brother-in-law to be transferred to Ji’an Province. We’re familiar with the place, and so are you. Also, my aunt’s family is there."
Upon hearing this, Qian Manting’s eyes shone with happiness.
