The wet nurse at the side revealed an awkward expression as she lightly tugged on Ning Lin's sleeve. She smiled coyly at me. "Our young mistress is still young and doesn't understand. Please don't take her words to heart."

Ning Lin slightly raised her head to look at me. Her face had a stubborn expression.

It was completely different from how it used to be.

I pushed away the umbrella that Lan Lingyun was holding above my head and half-squatted in front of her. "What did you want to say?"

The wet nurse's expression was unsightly to the extreme.

"Miss Biao …" "You …"

Ning Lin tiptoed and whispered in my ear, "Elder sister, please don't listen to my mother. Aunt is going to take in concubines for my big brother."

I pinched Ning Lin's little face and couldn't help but laugh. "You're the smart one!"

Ning Lin's lips curled up into a small smile, appearing exceptionally mischievous.

Watching the little figure disappear into the wind and snow, Lan Lin and I went back into the house.

The two maidservants were burning by the fire, when they saw us enter, they hurriedly stood up.

I smiled at them. "It's snowing outside, and it's not as warm in your house as it is here. If you want to sit down, you can."

Anxiety was revealed on their faces.

It was probably because of Little Lu's orders that Lan Li and I were allowed to stay in the house, talking without any care, in order to find out whether we were serious or not.

I meant well, but they didn't have the good fortune to take it.

I smiled to myself and ignored them. I untied my hooks and stepped into the inner room.

The two maidservants stood outside the doorstep with their heads bowed, looking as if they had done something wrong.

Lan Mo couldn't bear it. She ordered the two of them, "This is none of your business. You can leave now!"

The head maid is clever and curtsied towards me. The one behind me quickly followed and the two of them carefully walked out of the main house.

Lan Lingyun followed me into the clean room. As she was undressing me, she frowned: "… They were forced to do so, why would Miss make things difficult for them? "

After getting rid of his clothes, he immediately felt relaxed. I flexed my shoulders, and took a blue cardigan from the chest. "If I don't show my face, how can my dear aunt be at ease?" I smiled and flicked Lan Ling's forehead.

Lan covered her forehead, her face pouting in anger. She grumbled for a bit, then helped me wash my face and rinse my mouth. She stayed out the night without saying anything.

Five drums sounded from the horizon. They were clearly very far away from me, but for some reason, they suddenly woke up from their dreams.

I sat up in bed and stretched my stiff back.

On one side of the curtain the window was parted by the evening breeze, revealing the moonlight, which was reflected on the blue surface of the woman's bed.

Half light, half darkness, a sleeping face as tranquil as water.

I put on my coat, pulled on my shoes, and crossed the floor to close the window.

I saw Mother Song carrying a lantern, accompanied by a small woman in a green cotton jacket walking away from here in a hurry.

"Miss …"

I was startled by Lan Ya's sudden voice, and with a flick of my hand, I opened the window with a bang.

The cool morning wind blew in, making Lan Li and I quiver.

Lan Lingyun quickly wrapped the quilt on her bed around me.

"Miss has woken up!" Mother Song stood in the courtyard and exclaimed in surprise. She reached out to the woman and said, "Let's go! "This cannot be delayed …"

The woman lifted her head slightly and grabbed her mother. She wanted to say something but hesitated, "Mommy …"

It was only then that I recognized him. He was actually from the Hundred Wood Family.

His heart thumped.

It's not someone from my yard, it's someone from the Zhou house.

What did this mean?

Did something happen to the family? Did the Green Bandits want to stay and manage the house, or did something go wrong with my yard? Did the Green Bandits get controlled so they could only ask the Hundred Wood Family to send me a message?

Lan Li put on her clothes, hurriedly opened the door to welcome in her mother Song and Bai Mu family.

The hem of her dark blue skirt was two inches wet. The Zhou family of 100 Mu held onto an oil-paper umbrella as they anxiously entered the room. With a face filled with fear, they knelt down towards me and said:

"Something terrible has happened, Miss!" The Hundred Wood Family's pale face lifted up. "Tonight, in the evening, after dinner, Aunt Chen clamored and said she had a headache. "Your servant thought that as usual, Aunt was just about to have a baby and her body was a bit uncomfortable, so I advised her to drink some baby protection medicine and help her spread her clothes before going to bed."

My heart thumped as I faintly anticipated what I would say next.

"… …." Lady Lu Kui usually came to speak to her aunt at the last minute. At that time, Lady Lu Kui was standing outside the door. A maidservant came to look for her, saying that there was a problem with the annual gift she prepared. Lady Lu Kui was already anxious, this servant … This servant told Lady Lu Kou that the concubine was not feeling well and had rested. "Miss Lu Kui was worried and came into the inner room to take a look. When she saw that the concubine was indeed lying on the bed, she followed the young maid and left."

I closed my eyes.

My child, whom I had spent so much effort to save, was conceived in October, and at once had the opportunity to open my eyes, to see the world, and to fail at the very last moment.

There was a warm liquid running across the corner of his eye.

For some reason, he felt as if he had lost his son.

"… …." The aunt slept for four whole hours without turning over a single body. The servants were curious, so they went up to take a look. Only now did I realize that, aunt, she … "He didn't fall asleep at all, he just fainted from the pain …"

The head of the Zhou family member drooped lower and lower, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

I lifted Zhou Bailu's arm. "Are you saying that Aunt Chen just fainted?"

The Zhou family members nodded their heads as though they were pounding garlic: "Yes, yes, yes! When this servant came out, the family had already invited a midwife over. "

I frowned and looked at the umbrella in her hand. "When did you come out?"

It had clearly been snowing for a long time. However, there was an oil-paper umbrella in her hand. There was mud on the corner of her skirt, and she was clearly rushing through the snow.

Mother Song interrupted, "Miss, this is a matter of life and death! "How could I have the time to ask these slobbering questions …"

Lan Ling walked behind me and pulled mother Song away, "... "Since Sister-in-law Zhou has a body, I can't wear my clothes. I can only borrow Mommy's help …"

Mother Song opened her mouth to speak, but seeing that my expression was cold, she could only hold it in and walk out with an embarrassed face.

I took out a silver hairpin from my dowry. Apart from the lampshade, I lit up the wick a little. "Sit down!"

The reddened face of the Zhou family member shook his head: "… This servant does not dare! "

I sighed and poured her a cup of tea. "Since I told you to sit, I'll let you sit. Have a cup of tea to warm your body! "

The Hundred Wood Family stood in embarrassment for a while, then lightly thanked him and uneasily sat down.

"This servant came from Hai Chu …"
