Jiusu won three million in the lottery, then overworked herself to death that very night. She transmigrated to ancient times, where her brother and sister-in-law wanted to sell her as a concubine. ...
Chapter 472: The birth of a child, a rainstorm in the fire
Ming Heng was shocked. He frowned, "Isn't the madam's due date still half a month away? Was she frightened?"
"It's hard to explain." Zitan pinched her fingers and lowered her head to think for a while, "I think I still have to tell my uncle."
Outside, there were flashes of swords and sounds of fighting.
The blood is particularly eye-catching.
This made them feel very uneasy. Ming Heng fought his way out of the encirclement and ran all the way to the county government office, but there were corpses everywhere here. The young master and the deputy general didn't know the direction.
Mingheng followed the marks left by his master.
He was found in a farmer's house, covered in blood, kneeling on the ground. "I finally found you."
Jiang Jing's face darkened instantly.
He had tried his best to cover his tracks, but County Magistrate Liang still attacked the inn. He asked coldly, "Where's Ah Su?"
Mingheng lowered his head, his face showing shame: "Zitan asked his subordinates to report to you that the lady is giving birth..."
Jiang Jing stood up too quickly, his body swaying. He covered his chest, which was still bleeding, and glanced at Gao Jing: "I'll go back first."
"I'll go with you." Gao Jing stood up. He was also seriously injured. "I'm worried about Luoxue."
Jiang Jing left the silver, said something to the old farmer, and left.
After fighting for half an hour, they finally rushed into the inn.
County Magistrate Liang pinched his mustache and said with a smile, "You came here to do business, and you almost got cheated by these two guys. Fortunately, I have someone to help me. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
The yamen runner bowed and said, "Sir, if they enter the inn, they are in the bag. Congratulations, you will be rewarded with merit in front of that person."
County Magistrate Liang curled his lips.
"Well, Prime Minister, that's all. He prefers beauty to the throne. This is the first time I've seen someone so infatuated. It's a pity that those who are deeply in love don't live long."
He ordered.
"Gather the firewood around, pour oil on it, and burn it for me!"
At this moment, Jiang Jing saw the person he had been thinking about. He held her hand and placed it on his face. "Why is it so cold? Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Jiusu smiled, "There are special painkillers."
If there were modern surgery, she wouldn't have given birth so slowly. Her main concern was the outside situation, which made her very nervous.
"Ajing, you are injured."
Jiang Jing wiped the tears from her eyes and said softly, "My minor injury is nothing compared to the suffering you are going through now."
The midwife was surprised and said, "Madam, please try harder, it will come out soon."
Jiang Jing held her hand silently without disturbing her.
Jiusu listened to the midwife's reminder, breathing in and out, and felt uncomfortable in his stomach, "hiss."
The midwife smiled and said, "It's born! It's a daughter. Congratulations, sir, congratulations, madam."
The child cried loudly and was held in a cradle.
Placed next to Jiusu.
The child will stop crying when he feels the softness for a long time.
Jiusu forced a weak smile and said, "Mingheng, Zhongqin, escort the midwife to the secret passage. Don't forget to give her the reward."
The midwife trembled.
The reward is quite a lot.
But everyone was surrounded outside, and it was good enough to be alive. She put the silver in her pocket, and before Zhongqin left, she held her hand and asked.
"You, give me a definite answer, can we still survive?"
Zhongqin looked at the people who emerged from the tunnel. They were the innkeeper and his staff. She tried to soften her voice, "Don't worry. Do you know who you delivered the baby for?"
"Who? Is he really an official?" The midwife called him "Sir" and "Madam" out of courtesy.
Zhongqin looked up and said, "It's the Prime Minister's wife."
Having said that, I won’t say much more.
She still had to protect the young lady, but these words were enough to reassure them.
Just as the four of them were discussing how to break the deadlock.
A red light appeared outside.
Gao Jing walked to the window and said, "Oh no! They set a fire. We must evacuate the inn while the fire is still small."
Bai Luoxue stopped him.
"No! Jiusu just gave birth, the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet, and she has no strength at all. What if she gets hurt?"
Gao Jing frowned and said, "But if this continues, we will all die."
Zi Tan and the others knelt on the ground, "This servant swears to stay with the young lady until death."
Jiang Jing picked up the child and said, "Deputy General Gao, you take the child and go first."
"No need." Jiusu opened the bed curtain and looked at the people in the room who cared about her. Her eyes were red. She took the pills that had been prepared long ago. Now the fire was gradually getting bigger.
But there was a voice in her heart.
The system’s final gift should be coming soon.
"It'll be fine."
Just when the fire was about to burn up.
The sky suddenly darkened and thunder rumbled, but in the blink of an eye, heavy rain began to fall, extinguishing the fire and knocking the people outside to the ground.
Bai Luoxue jumped up with joy. She wanted to open the window, but was afraid it would be too cold.
"Jiusu, you are so amazing, you are simply a god!" She clasped her hands together, "Thank God."
Jiusu breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not that I'm good, everything is God's will."
She looked back at the big hand around her waist, smiled gently at Jiang Jing, and fell asleep in his arms.
Jiang Jing slowly put the woman down, gave Zi Tan instructions, and glanced at Gao Jing again. The two walked out of the guest room, and Bai Luoxue followed them out with a sword.
"Kill!" Jiang Jing used the force to fly down to the first floor and kicked the door open.
The secret guards came out in full force.
While County Magistrate Liang was still struggling in the heavy rain, he was killed unexpectedly. County Magistrate Liang's accomplice was the treacherous ministers here.
On the other side, there is the "good official" who was wronged.
They obey the emperor's orders, and all the thunder and rain are his grace, so they do not resist.
Among them is the Yan family.
Looking at these people, Jiang Jing sighed softly, sheathed his sword, bent down and helped the three family heads up, "It is the court that has let you all down."
Thunder rumbled one after another, and they all cried when they heard the sound.
Father Yan was heartbroken: "Thank you very much, Prime Minister, for saving my life. You not only saved our lives, but also saved our souls."
Jiang Jing tilted his head and said, "Take the adults and their families to wash up."
Mingheng arranged this matter personally.
The inn became lively again.
Ah Su needed company and the child needed someone to take care of him. Jiang Jing handed all matters over to Gao Jing. He brushed off the coldness on his body before daring to enter the house.
Kou Shao is lively and is playing with the children with a rattle.
There was thunder, but it was very warm here.
"A little bit."
Whenever she made a face, the little lady would laugh and wasn't afraid at all.
Jiang Jing learned to hold the baby. He dismissed everyone in the room, sat by the bed, and talked to Jiusu about the baby. "She is so small, and always seems so fragile."
Jiusu leaned on the bed and tilted his head to look at her: "She doesn't have a name yet."
The two of them thought about it for the whole afternoon.
Finally the name was decided.
Jiang Jing held up the baby, his lips curled up, and he said happily: "Jiang Qianlan, you must grow up well. Your mother and I will love you well."
Stayed here for a month.
Jiusu has gained a lot of weight.
She was not idle during her confinement. She took care of the criminals who assisted County Magistrate Liang. Those with serious crimes were executed immediately, while those with minor crimes were sent to do hard labor.
The economy here is much better than before.
Gradually, it no longer feels like Lingnan.
As the Chinese New Year approached, another letter came from Shengjing, asking when he could go home and wanting to see Jiang Qianlan, even in the letter.
Jiusu could also feel his mother's longing.
She wrote a letter in reply.
However, since this place is very close to the sea and there were visits from other countries, it had to be delayed year after year.
At that time, Jiang Qianlan was already three years old and could get into trouble.
