When Xiao Nanye heard Han Feng’s initial words, there was a hint of laughter in his eyes. But as the sentence ended, his smile vanished abruptly.

...

With cold eyes, he glared at Han Feng and spoke in a chilling tone, “You Dare!”

“Master, i,i was just saying.”

Faced with Xiao Nanye’s gaze, Han Feng hastily corrected himself.

During dinner, Jiang Peihuan took Yue Er to visit Xue Yan in Yanlin.

Just as they were about to reach the entrance, they saw Xue Yan rushing out, looking upset.

“Mother, where are you going?”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan, Xue Yan’s expression softened a little, but her tone was still hurried. “Your Auntie Zhong has gone into premature labor. I need to check on her.”

While speaking, Xue Yan continued walking. Suddenly, Jiang Peihuan remembered Zhong Yu’s tragic fate in her previous life.

Zhong family, though prestigious, has its roots in Qingzhou.

The Emperor, not trusting the Zhong family, decided to marry Zhong Yu, the legitimate daughter of the family, to the Yin family.

Currently, Yin Yi, the emperor’s uncle-in-law, was in charge of the Yin family. Zhong Yu was married to his young son, Yin Yang.

Jiang Peihuan’s maternal family was also in Qingzhou, and Xue Yan and Zhong Yu have been close since childhood.

Remembering Zhong Yu’s fate, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly caught up with Xue Yan. “Mother, 1 will accompany you to the Yin family.”

“Your Auntie Zhong is giving birth, Huan Er, you better not go.”

“Mother, have you forgotten? Ye Xiao, who’s with me, is skilled in medicine. I can help if I come with you.”

Upon hearing this, Xue Yan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Okay, you come with me to the Yin family.”

Worried about Zhong Yu, both Xue Yan and Jiang Peihuan rode horses directly to the Yin residence.

As they approached the gate, they saw a woman hurrying towards them. It was Dong Xue, Zhong Yu’s maid.

It was Zhong Yu’s maid, Dong Xue.

“Madam, you’re finally here. My lady can’t hold on much longer.”

“Take me to Ah Yu quickly.”

Hearing Dong Xue’s words, Xue Yan’s face changed, and she rushed inside.

Following Dong Xue into the backyard, Jiang Peihuan noticed the lack of people coming and going.

As they entered the room, Jiang Peihuan couldn’t help but question, “Why isn’t Lord Yin at home during such a crucial time for Auntie Zhong’s delivery?”

“Miss, you might not know, but the master has gone to the countryside with Madam Yan.”

“Where’s the doctor?”

“They’ve been sent for, but no one has come yet. My lady told me to fetch you no matter what, as 1 had no other choice.”

“Alright, let me go in and see Ah Yu.”

Taking a few steps forward, Jiang Peihuan heard the painful groans from inside the room. She instantly understood that Zhong Yu’s situation was very grim.

Xue Yan pushed the door open and entered, followed by Jiang Peihuan.

Xue Yan initially wanted to stop her, but Jiang Peihuan had already entered.

“Sister Yan, is that you?”

Lying on the bed, Zhong Yu was utterly exhausted. However, hearing the sound of the door opening, she still managed to call out.

Xue Yan drew back the curtain and saw Zhong Yu’s pale face. Her eyes immediately reddened. “All Yu, it’s me.”

“Dong Xue, why did Ah Yu go into labor prematurely?”

“Mother, we shouldn’t dwell on that now. Auntie Zhong is in critical condition. Let’s have Ye Xiao examine her first.”

“Huan Er, you, you came too?”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s voice, Zhong Yu managed to speak, despite her hoarse throat.

Seeing her condition, Jiang Peihuan quickly approached her. “Auntie Zhong, my maid here is exceptional in medicine. She will ensure the safety of both you and the child. But you must hang in there.”

Zhong Yu had already believed she wouldn’t survive the day, which is why she wanted to see Xue Yan one last time.

Now, hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes, but she couldn’t help saying, “Huan Er, the child is only seven months old. With such an early delivery, I…”

“Auntie Zhong, there’s an old saying – ‘Survival at seven months, unlikely at eight’. Trust me.”

Perhaps because Jiang Peihuan’s tone was so determined, Zhong Yu’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

Grasping Jiang Peihuan’s hand tightly, she whispered, “Alright, Huan Er, I trust you. 1’11 do as you say.”

When Zhong Yu held her hand, Jiang Peihuan quietly checked her pulse.

Noticing that Zhong Yu’s breath was very weak, she quickly turned to Dong Xue and said, “Is there any ginseng, preferably hundred-year-old ginseng? Cut some for Auntie Zhong to take, and brew some ginseng water for her to drink.”

“Yes, 1 will go get it right away.”

“Eldest Miss, Madam Yin’s fetus is malpositioned. 1 need to massage her acupoints to adjust the position of the baby in her abdomen.”

“But this massage is very painful, and I’m worried that Madam Yin may not be able to bear it.”

“I can handle it, start as soon as you can.”

Before Jiang Peihuan could respond to Ye Xiao’s words, Zhong Yu gritted her teeth and said.

Ye Xiao turned to Jiang Peihuan.

“Start as soon as the ginseng arrives.”

“This ginseng was saved for my auntie to strengthen her body, how dare you take it privately, give it back now.”

“My Madam is waiting for this ginseng to save her life, get out of my way!”

There was a quarrel outside the door. Hearing this, Zhong Yu was filled with anger. Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan frowned.

She quickly held Zhong Yu’s shoulder, “Auntie Zhong, don’t be upset, calm down.”

“That wretched servant, she…”

Zhong Yu breathed deeply, but her eyes were getting angrier. Seeing this, Xue Yan tightly held Zhong Yu’s hand, “Ah Yu, you just focus on giving birth, 1 will handle the things outside.”

“Huan Er, you take care of your Auntie Zhong.”

“Mother, don’t worry.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan nod, Xue Yan directly opened the curtain.

Outside the door, Dong Xue was being blocked by several maids and family members. The leading maid looked triumphant, her gaze towards Dong Xue full of contempt.

“You are quite bold, making noise outside the main Madam’s door.”

Seeing Xue Yan coming out, Dong Xue’s eyes brightened.

Xue Yan coldly glanced at the leading maid, then turned to Dong Xue, “Dong Xue, aren’t you coming in?”

“Madam Jiang, this is the Yin family, you…”

“Who are you?”

Before the maid could finish her words, Xue Yan interrupted.

Upon hearing Xue Yan’s words, the lead maid replied with confidence, “1 am

Madam Yan’s personal maid, my name is Qiu Ju.”

“Zhu Er, hit her!”

“Yes, Madam.”

Although Zhu Er was Xue Yan’s maid, she has been practicing martial arts with Xue Yan since childhood.

Hearing Xue Yan’s words, Zhu Er kicked Qiu Ju, who spat out a mouthful of blood. This was not the end, Zhu Er directly pulled out a dagger, and before Qiu Ju could react, her wrist felt intense pain. Zhu Er had cut her tendon.

“Ah…”

Qiu Ju screamed.

Xue Yan, witnessing this scene, showed no reaction, “Dong Xue, go in.”

“Yes, madam..”
