Chapter 304
Finally, the battlefield was drawn into the path that demanded the most resources and was also the most suitable for Fan Xiaoxiao's business empire.
A tug-of-war!
The two sides are no longer competing on whether something is legitimate or not.
A portion of the imperial court fled the capital.
The resources and popularity he took away further weakened the false emperor's rule.
And this is probably the way Heaven fills in the gaps in the plot.
Today is the time when Fan's Business needs to operate the most, but Fan Xiaoxiao is willing but unable to do so.
She was lying on a recliner.
On the table in front of me, there were piles of goods purchased and shipped by the business, as well as some of the rarest and most sought-after items from various channels.
Fan Xiaoxiao turned her eyes to look, but her high, protruding belly blocked her view like a small mountain.
She can't even see her toes when she's standing on the ground.
Even when lying down, you can't turn over.
"..." He raised his hand and reached towards the table.
Use force.
fail……
Fan Xiaoxiao was moved to tears; she had never been so angry in her entire life.
He gritted his teeth, turned to the side, his weak waist unable to muster any strength, and could only support his heavy body with the strength of his elbows.
"Lady Xiao!"
"..." Fan Xiaoxiao was taken aback; the voice sounded very familiar.
Moreover, there aren't many people in Qingzhou City who would call her that these days.
Her hand went limp, and she fell back down.
"Oh dear!" Xiao Hei exclaimed and rushed over to check.
With his help, Fan Xiaoxiao finally sat up.
Xiao Hei's return was not unexpected.
After Gu Zhongtai left, the guards in Qingzhou were strengthened considerably. And this was the person who had always been with Fan Xiaoxiao, protecting her.
Xiao Hei is the best choice.
After the trade routes were opened up, Fan Xiaoxiao had considered bringing Xiao Hei back.
But he had been working there for several months and was quite familiar with it, and the people in Tianshan Village also knew him, so it was relatively easy for him.
So she told him to take his time and hand over the work properly.
This handover and the slow pace meant that several more months passed.
"Miss Xiao, with your health so poor, why didn't you buy a maid?"
Fan Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "I'm not that useless. Besides, my older sister often comes to take care of me these days. And Chaoyan... that is, Bai Niangzi, also comes often."
She's a modern person, and the idea of buying a maid to do chores is something other people do; she's not used to it at all.
Besides, Fan Xiaoxiao is also very clear about the situation of this era.
She didn't want any maids or concubines!
Although Xiao Hei was puzzled, he didn't concern himself with her affairs, but simply frowned and asked, "How long have you been pregnant?"
Fan Xiaoxiao thought about the hardships she had endured over the past few months, and the fact that her husband had gone to the battlefield.
Why.
I almost cried.
"Seven months."
No sooner had I finished speaking than my belly moved. The little guy was restless and started kicking his own mother!
He patted her on the shoulder and said, "I know what else you want to say, Xiao Hei."
Fan Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, I've already found a midwife who's paying me her monthly allowance and is waiting at the mansion. If labor starts, someone will come to take care of her immediately."
“Even with a midwife, you still need maids to help you,” Xiao Hei said. “You’re not short of money, so why try to save money like this?”
Fan Xiaoxiao was too lazy to explain, and only frowned and said, "It's only seven months, it's still early."
"Besides, I've already told my older sister that if anything happens, she'll lend me a few maids to look after me, no problem."
Not only that, her dear older sister also plans to come and take care of her during her postpartum period and her nephew or niece.
"hiss……"
Fan Xiaoxiao felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
Before Xiao Hei could speak, he suddenly noticed her expression change and quickly asked.
"..." She tugged at the corner of her mouth, clutching her stomach: "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
"What?"
Under Xiao Hei's bewildered gaze, she felt another sharp pain.
"I feel something's not right." She quickly said, "Perfect timing, Xiao Hei, you're fast, go to the governor's mansion and call my sister."
"Shouldn't we call a doctor?" Xiao Hei nodded and then asked.
Fan Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment: "Let's call the doctor too!"
She wasn't actually sure if she was going into labor, since she was still premature.
"good."
Xiao Hei disappeared in a flash.
Fan Xiaoxiao sighed.
It's still better to have experts around!
This speed is definitely faster than those Gu Yue Sect members in the courtyard.
...
...
Before long, Madam Fan arrived in a great hurry.
At a glance, you could see Fan Xiaoxiao, whose face was a little pale.
"Is she about to give birth?"
Fan Xiaoxiao shook her head: "It shouldn't be yet. My stomach hurts, but it only hurts every now and then. Is it time to give birth?"
Honestly, this is my first time in two lifetimes! My first love. My first marriage. And my first child.
I have absolutely no experience!
"..." Madam Fan immediately instructed the maid she had brought to go to the west courtyard to find a midwife.
"!" Fan Xiaoxiao was immediately alarmed: "Shouldn't we be asking a doctor?"
"I've already asked Xiao Hei to look for it, and I believe it will arrive soon."
Fan Xiaoxiao's biggest fear right now is that something might happen to the child.
Madam Fan raised her hand and poked her forehead: "What's the use of seeing a doctor? You're about to give birth to a seven-year-old child."
"Seven Stars?"
"Babies born at seven months are just as easy to raise."
"Oh no! What should I do now?!"
"Wait!"
How long will it take?
...
Fan Xiaoxiao went from being panicked at the beginning to falling asleep while experiencing contractions.
Although it hurt, the night passed peacefully, and the baby showed no signs of being born...
Perhaps it was because her older sister, the midwife, and the doctor were all there that she wasn't so nervous.
That's right, when a child is born, if the father isn't around, you always feel like something's missing.
It was almost noon again.
Just then, Fan Xiaoxiao heard someone hurrying over from outside.
They quickly entered the hanging flower gate.
Madam Fan hurriedly lifted the curtain and went out: "What are you doing, being so rash? What's the matter?"
The man was from the governor's office and spotted Lady Fan immediately.
She quickly kowtowed and said, "Madam Fan, news has come from the Prince."
Fan Xiaoxiao had sharp ears and immediately heard the words "Your Highness".
In Qingzhou, the only one who can be called a prince is Yu Cheng, the self-proclaimed King Wei.
As the largest force in the campaign against the false emperor, although not the first rebel army to declare itself king, it is currently the most developed.
Fan Xiaoxiao, disregarding her stomach discomfort, quickly lifted the curtain and went out: "What's going on over there?!"
Anyone could hear the concern in her voice.
"Great news!"
Madam Fan wanted to stop it, but feared that the bad news would affect her sister.
But hearing this put my mind at ease.
Upon further reflection, Mu Shi realized that she had no grudges against Er Ya and was a sensible person who knew her place. If it were bad news, she wouldn't have sent it here.
In addition, Madam Fan brought her maid along only as a precaution, and only after arriving did she realize that Xiaoxiao might be about to give birth.
