Mu Yangling asked Spring to go back and find the box in her bedside table. Then, she handed half of the banknotes in the box to the guard and said, “Go to the restaurant and find Steward Qian. Tell him to find as aged a ginseng as

possible.”

The guard took the money and left. Mu Yangling looked at Wen Mian and said, “Go to Fan Manor personally and invite Aunt over. Ask her if she has any good

ginseng.”

Wen Mian agreed.

Standing on the steps, Mu Yangling directed the servants. The originally chaotic courtyard slowly became orderly, and everyone went about doing their

own jobs.

Mu Yangling asked Rain to ask Madam Wu if there was any aged ginseng in the storeroom. With the commotion here, it was impossible for Madam Wu and the others not to know. Instead of guarding against them, it was better for her to

involve them in advance.

After making the necessary arrangements, Mu Yangling finally looked at the people who had followed her. Mu Yangling realized that she did not know any of these madams’ servants.

Just as Mu Yangling was about to ask, a guard rushed in with a doctor. Mu Yangling instantly abandoned them and hurriedly went forward. “The doctor is here? Please come in.”

The doctor heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was angry, he did not say much. He grabbed his first aid kit and followed Mu Yangling into the house.

The madams and ladies’ expressions instantly turned a little ugly. Although Spring didn’t know their identities, she knew that Eldest Madam definitely had her reasons for doing this. Otherwise, Wen Cui wouldn’t have treated them like this. She stood up and said with a fake smile, “Madams and ladies, please sit in the side hall first. Our Eldest Madam and Fourth Madam can’t spare time to entertain everyone now. Please be understanding.

A13 or 14-year-old girl muttered unhappily, “Isn’t there a madam in your family?”

Spring pretended not to hear them. Not knowing what these people’s identities were, how would she dare to let them come into contact with her mistress?

Otherwise, who knew if they might try to sell them while Eldest Madam and Fourth Madam were busy?

Spring directly invited them to the side room, then asked Mama Wang to bring people to watch over them and guard the courtyard door. The few of them also knew that they were being guarded, but being unfamiliar with Li Jinghua, they could only swallow their anger.

In the room, the doctor checked Li Jinghua’s pulse and said to Mu Yangling, “Let’s expedite the child delivery. This way, there’ll still be a chance of

survival.”

With an ugly expression, Mu Yangling forced a smile and said, “Please prescribe the prescription, Doctor.”

Wen Cui immediately brought him to the side to prescribe a prescription.

Covered in sweat, Li Jinghua looked up with a pale face and asked, “What did the doctor say?”

“The doctor said to expedite the delivery. Sister-in-law, rest for a while and conserve your strength. When the medicine is brewed, we can start.” Mu Yangling held her hand tightly and smiled. “Perhaps when Fourth Master comes back, he’ll be able to see his little nephew.”

Li Jinghua forced a smile with difficulty, but tears fell. “Ah Ling, don’t lie to me. Am I doomed? The severe pain in my stomach has never stopped. I regret it so much. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have gone out today. How would I have known that such a calamity would happen? I was just walking out when they bumped into me. My child… This is the General’s first child. If I lose the baby, I don’t know if I can still get pregnant again. The General will definitely hate me to death…”

“No, no.” Mu Yangling held her hand tightly and whispered into her ear, “Big Brother will only feel sorry for you. Why would he hate you? He loves you. Sister-in-law, do you still remember the spring of the 24th year of Emperor Jingyan’s reign? At that time, when you went for a stroll in the suburbs, you met a silly farm girl. That person was me. I specially went to see you. Big Brother has taken a liking to you, and Qi Haoran didn’t know if you’re a good person, so he asked me to get close to you to get to know your character. Look, Big Brother adores you so much. How can he bear to blame you?”

Stunned, Li Jinghua looked at her expectantly. “Really? Your Big Brother won’t blame me?”

Mu Yangling nodded fiercely. “No, Big Brother definitely won’t blame you.” Li Jinghua’s gaze gradually became firm. She stroked her stomach gently and said gently, “Ah Ling, I will definitely give birth to the child. If, if I die, I beg you to help me take care of him, okay?”

Mu Yangling was sweating profusely, but she had no choice but to agree. She promised, “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. The child will definitely be fine. You’ll be fine, too.” Mu Yangling thought for a moment and said, “I’ll take care of the child as my own son in the future.” Naturally, that was under the premise that something happened to Li Jinghua.

Now that she let go of the last bit of worry in her heart, Li Jinghua was in good spirits and her stomach did not hurt so much.

However, they all knew that this was just a psychological thing.

The two midwives looked at each other and pulled Mu Yangling out. They asked in a low voice, “Fourth Madam, should we have to choose, do we save the mother or the baby?”

Mu Yangling said with a dark expression, “The mother!

The two midwives were surprised. They thought that Mu Yangling would ask them to save the baby. After all, they had heard the conversation between the two sisters-in-law just now.

However, it was better to save the adult. After all, the probability of saving the adult was higher than the baby. The two of them agreed and entered to prepare.

Mu Yangling personally fetched hot water to help her wash up. As she wiped the dirt off her face, she smiled and spoke to her. Li Jinghua gradually relaxed and occasionally responded with a smile. The two midwives praised Mu

Yangling’s actions.

“Ah Ling?” Qi Haoran’s anxious voice sounded from outside the door. Li Jinghua looked up slightly. Mu Yangling quickly pressed her down and smiled. “I called him back. I’ll go out and take a look. Sister-in-law, rest first.” Qi Haoran returned with the imperial doctor. When he saw Mu Yangling coming out, he grabbed her and asked, “Is Sister-in-law alright?

“She’s alright.” Mu Yangling looked at the imperial physician and bowed respectfully. “Thank you, sir.”

The imperial physician nodded slightly and entered with the first aid kit. When he came out, he came to the same conclusion as the previous doctor. “It’s best to give birth now. Otherwise, the fetus won’t be able to survive. Fortunately, Madam’s due date isn’t far away. The child should be fine.”

Qi Haoran heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly invited him to the side. Mu Yangling took the prescription from the doctor and showed it to him. The imperial doctor nodded slightly and said, “This prescription is excellent. I’ll prescribe two more for prenatal protection. Take them half an hour after taking the medicine to expedite the delivery.”

Qi Haoran arranged for the imperial physician and doctor to be together. The medicine was also brewed in the small kitchen. Wen Si brought it into the room and Mu Yangling personally fed Li Jinghua. Since there was still 15 minutes before the medicine took effect, Mu Yangling quickly came out and said to Qi Haoran, “I’ll go in and accompany Sister-in-law. Take care of the matters outside.”

Qi Haoran nodded with a dark expression. In a short period of time, he had already called the old servants and coachman who had accompanied Li Jinghua in the carriage to ask them about the incident. He knew that his sister-in-law had suffered an undeserved calamity.

For a moment, he was furious. Yet, he could not help but wonder if things could really be that coincidental.. Considering Sister-in-law had many servants with her, how could the conflict between the Zhang, Shu, and Zhou females have implicated her?
