The Old Mu family, who were so poor they jingled, went crazy. It was a time of famine, and everyone was rushing to flee, yet they went out of their way to pick up a little girl.
Ning Bao carr...
Could it be that...?
Ning Bao smiled and nodded.
"Yes, my eldest brother Meng Po told me that the child still has a chance of survival."
Bai Ming was very agitated after hearing Ning Bao's words. He didn't like the child's father, but the child was born to his sister.
This child was born to his wife, Zhi'er, and Zhi'er certainly hopes that the child can grow up healthy.
With the child around, he believed that Zhi'er would recover faster, and the Bai family could afford to raise a child anyway.
Ning Bao didn't delay any longer. She took out Bai Zhi and the child's body, set up the formation, lit the incense and candles, and took out the talisman paper to begin the ritual.
Seeing this, Bai Ming didn't dare to say anything. He silently stood guard at the door, protecting Ning Bao.
Ningbao didn't stop what she was doing and breathe a sigh of relief until the east was bright and daylight broke.
"It's a success. Now we just have to see when they'll wake up."
"Senior Brother, the person has been saved. As for when they'll wake up, and the follow-up care, that depends on you. You're definitely more professional than me at treating illnesses."
Bai Ming nodded.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Ningbao. I just ordered breakfast from the waiter. Have some first, then go and rest for a while."
I can take care of Zhi'er.
Ningbao didn't stand on ceremony and sat down at the table to eat heartily.
"I'm really hungry. Oh, right, Senior Brother."
You probably don't know how to take care of a baby, right? I suggest you find a woman who knows how to take care of children, preferably a wet nurse.
After all, babies need to be breastfed, and Sister Bai's current condition is not suitable for breastfeeding.
I've heard that wealthy families in the capital hire wet nurses when their babies are born.
"Smack!"
Now it was Bai Ming's turn to slap his forehead.
"That's right, find a wet nurse. How could I forget something so important?"
We also need to find a maid to take care of Zhi'er personally, but we didn't bring Zhi'er's maid with us this time.
"You eat first, I'll go to the brokerage to see if I can find someone suitable. I'll trouble Leng Bing to help me find someone to take care of Zhi'er and the child."
Leng Bing nodded.
"Don't worry, Young Master Bai. Miss Bai and the young master are being looked after by me. You should go find a wet nurse. After all, I can take care of the children, but I can't breastfeed them."
Previously, when Ning Bao went to the underworld, Bai Bing waited at the inn. When she heard that Ning Bao was coming back at night, Bai Bing, who hadn't been able to sleep, immediately got up.
Bai Ming hurriedly ran to the city's brokerage to buy a wet nurse. As he walked down the street, he heard people talking about it.
"Have you heard? The prefect's residence was burgled last night!"
"What's so bad about attracting thieves? I heard that the prefect's residence was haunted last night."
"Haunted?"
Tell me what happened!
"My brother's brother's wife's second sister-in-law's second aunt works in the house next to the prefect's house."
Last night, when she got up to use the outhouse, she heard the old lady and the newlywed wife of the prefect screaming that there was a ghost.
"Do you think it might be the former prefect's wife who has returned to claim my life?"
"Taking lives? Wasn't it said that the prefect's wife died during childbirth because the baby was in an unstable position, resulting in the death of both mother and child?"
Could it be that the previous prefect's wife was murdered?
"You're absolutely right. The midwife who delivered the prefect's wife lives right next door to me."
She said the baby was born alive, and that the prefect's wife's delivery was tampered with, which is why she suffered a difficult labor and severe bleeding.
The child was indeed healthy at birth, so I don't know why the rumor spread that the prefect's wife and her unborn child died together.
So when the midwife heard this, she sensed something was wrong and packed her belongings that very night, taking her family with her and leaving Nanzha City...
The backyard of this wealthy and powerful family is incredibly cruel; the midwife, fearing trouble, had no choice but to leave for distant lands.
