Chapter 63: Delaying Time (Update 1)
Does he have experience?
Jia She didn't react for a moment.
But the moment he reacted, he exploded.
When the eldest son died, his wife was pregnant. She could not bear the shock and had difficulty giving birth to Lian'er, so she died.
She left with her eldest son, leaving him pitifully facing Lian'er who could only cry.
During that period, Jia She's world seemed to be falling apart.
Although many years have passed and Lian'er has married, Jia She never dared to think about the day that would wake him up crying in his dreams.
He punched Jia Zheng in the face with a bang.
Jia Zheng didn't expect that his eldest brother would suddenly hit someone. His body couldn't bear it and he stepped back several steps. But since Jia She had hit him, how could he just let it go with one punch?
When he was young, he was very careful when beating his brother and never hit him in the face. But now, Jia She didn't want to keep his sense of propriety.
Even if this bastard still has to go to the government office, he still wants to give him a slap on the face.
When Jia Zheng was still unstable, Jia She kicked him in the heart, knocked him to the ground, then rode on him and hit him in the face and body like a madman.
Jia Zheng screamed in pain, but his elder brother looked so horrible that he quickly raised his hands to protect his head and face.
The most important thing is the face.
He needs this face to go to the Ministry of Industry.
"Ah~, big brother, ahhh~~, quick, help~, quickly call the old lady~"
Jia Zheng shrank his body and tried hard to shout for help.
The servants who had just driven Chen Chong away were stunned.
Some were pulling, some were calling her “old lady”.
The eldest master had been dissatisfied with the old master for a long time, but all these years he had only engaged in verbal fights. Now he was actually using physical force...
The servants all knew that this was no longer a problem that they could solve by simply holding back.
"Madam, Madam, something bad has happened. The eldest master and the old master are fighting in the outer study."
What? Seeing the servant rushing in, Grandmother Jia was stunned.
"What's going on?"
Mrs. Wang was so concerned that she looked at Grandmother Jia with a pleading face, "Old Madam..."
Jia Zheng was a weak scholar, how could he be a match for the master? "Mr. Chen came to see the master, but was kicked out by the master. Then, I don't know what they said, but the master was knocked down by the master."
Jia's eyes went dark, but she still managed to stand up. "What a curse! What a curse!"
The maid hurriedly handed over a walking stick, and Grandmother Jia took it and went to the study room.
Nowadays, even if she calls for a sedan chair, it would not be as fast as if she walked by herself.
At the same time, the Wang family, who lived several streets away, finally heard the gossip on Fulong Street. However, while others enjoyed listening to it, Wang Ziteng's expression became increasingly unsightly.
Was he wrong in his suspicion?
It was not Jia Jing who frightened the horse, but someone else who coveted the power of the two families in Beijing. So, he was allowed to go home and rest before attacking the Shen family, whom Jia Jing cared about the most? Who was it?
Who has the ability to disgust people with two coincidences that they couldn't even prevent?
Wang Ziteng was conceited about his intelligence, although he was not as smart as Jia Jing. However, looking at the court, he, as the governor of the Beijing camp, was one of the most important figures.
But now…
Wang Ziteng suddenly began to have serious doubts about himself.
However, Jia Jing should have been prepared for the possibility that Shen might have a difficult delivery, otherwise he wouldn't have been so opposed to her keeping the child.
Now……
Although Shen was very important to Ningguo Mansion, she was just a woman who rarely left the mansion. If the other party could plot against her, how could they not plot against Jia Jing? Even Jia Zhen was easier to plot against than Shen! Could it be that they were plotting against Jia Jing through Shen? Did they really think Jia Jing was a vegetarian?
If he is pushed into a corner, even if he is just a commoner, people will dig out all the suspects and retaliate tenfold.
This bureau...
Wang Ziteng felt that it shouldn't be someone with a brain who should do this.
It is very likely that Shen forced the Jia family to repay the money, which stimulated some people who did not have the money to repay their debts.
Wang Ziteng's mind was a little confused, "Someone come!"
"grown ups!"
The guards standing nearby hurried over.
"Go," Wang Ziteng said fiercely, "check the Chen family and the Wang family in Fulong Street, and then ask everyone who saw the fight if there were any other people who took advantage of the situation while they were fighting."
"yes!"
The guards went away in a hurry.
But Wang Ziteng was still anxious.
If he guessed wrong, and there really was a powerful person who was secretly eyeing the Wang and Jia families, how could he protect his family in his current state?
"Someone come!"
Wang Ziteng called for help again.
"grown ups!"
"go……!"
He looked at Wang Jin, whom he once trusted the most, and said, "Reassign the eighteen tiger guards back to the palace."
"……grown ups!"
Wang Jin was surprised, because those Tiger Guards were the guarantee of the Wang family in the army.
Didn't the Lord say that he would secretly train them to become generals and replace those who were disobedient? Now, wouldn't someone with ulterior motives find out about their closeness to the government? How would they train them in the future?
How could the adults who don't get along with the master allow him to train generals who are close to the Wang family?
That's impossible! "Shut up and go."
Wang Ziteng interrupted him before he could say anything to persuade her.
How could he not know the seriousness of the matter?
But without life, no one can talk about the future.
My second brother is useless, and my nephew Wang Ren hasn't even stood up yet, and his leg is broken. If no one is transferred back, this family... may be destroyed one day, and we don't even know it.
"yes!"
Wang Jin also ran away in a hurry.
Wang Ziteng felt palpitations at home.
Shen can’t die!
Shen was going to die. Once Jia Jing came back and found out something, even if he hadn't done it, Jia Jing would still be angry at him. Then...
"Someone, bring the lady here, quickly!"
We need to find a reliable midwife for her.
I also have to tell my second sister that the Jia family must stick together at this time.
Otherwise, the second sister might suspect that he did it and push for help.
Following the Jia family, the Wang family also took quick action.
But the person involved, Shen Ning, didn't know how serious the matter was.
Although the rain had stopped long ago, the two midwives were not there, and neither was her most capable Qingzhu. For safety reasons, she did not go out.
After lunch and a short nap, Shen Ning walked around the room while listening to the maid reading.
The little baby in my belly is as well-behaved as ever.
But Rong'er was about to finish school, but Qingzhu had not come back yet.
She said to give the midwife a holiday, but she didn't give Qingzhu a holiday! Qingzhu had always been by her side since she traveled through time, and now that he's suddenly gone...
Could it be that Jia Yan hasn’t given birth yet?
I've heard that some people take three days and three nights to give birth.
Hiss~ Shen Ning hugged her belly, "Bao'er, I, your mother, can't stand your torment, you must be good."
A small bulge appeared somewhere in my stomach, as if in response.
Shen Ning couldn't help but laugh, "Well, you are such a good boy."
She turned to Qingping and said, "Go and tell your grandmother to find someone to bring Qingzhu back." The little girl was still young. If she was frightened and didn't dare to have children in the future, it would be her fault.
Qing Ping was about to agree, but unexpectedly a little maid rushed in from outside, "Madam!" Her eyes were bright, "It's bad, the eldest and second masters of the West Mansion are fighting."
What? Shen Ning was stunned.
Although those two have never gotten along, but...
"I heard that the second master was being beaten by the first master while sitting on the ground."
“…”
Shen Ning frowned, "Hurry up and tell Zhen'er to go and see what's going on?"
If he really was beaten like this, even the biased Lady Jia would probably have Jia She beaten to the ancestral hall.
"yes!"
The little maid ran away in a hurry again.
"Qingping, after you pass on the message to Grandma, you can also ask around."
Qingping bowed lightly and left in a hurry.
When Youshi heard that her mother was looking for Qingzhu, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
Qingzhu's head was also broken.
She was beaten for protecting Liu Wenpo. Although she woke up now, she was still dizzy and couldn't sit up.
What should I do? "Grandma, is there anything inconvenient?"
Qingping felt that something was wrong with the grandmother's expression and couldn't help but ask.
“…It’s not really inconvenient.”
This matter can't be hidden until tomorrow.
Fortunately, there were already three midwives in the mansion.
You took a deep breath and said, "That's right... Qingzhu was beaten, and the two midwives were beaten too. Qingping, you have to keep it a secret from mother with me first."
Let your wife sleep well tonight so that she will have the energy to give birth to the baby tomorrow.
Qingping didn't expect the matter to become so serious. She grew up with Qingzhu. When she heard that if Manager Chen had not arrived in time, she might have died there, her eyebrows raised.
"Grandma, can we just let this go?"
My wife trusts those two midwives.
tomorrow……
Whenever Qingping thought of the wife in the West Mansion who died of childbirth due to shock, her face changed color.
The lady put away the deeds of the sisters in the yard, saying that the sisters had served her and there must be a good outcome.
If something happened to her, not only would all the sisters in the courtyard be released, but they would also be given a sum of money to support themselves.
She and Qingzhu helped their wife sort out those things.
"What shall we do with our wives? Are Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Liu really unable to move at all?"
Qingping's tears fell, "They took such good care of us, and our wife trusted them so much. If they're not here..."
"Mrs. Zhong's head is still dizzy, but Mrs. Liu only has her right hand broken."
Youshi had already made the worst plan, "Help me keep it a secret for a day. If things get worse tomorrow, Granny Liu can accompany me and the three new midwives to take care of my mother. Although she can't deliver the baby herself, she can still watch over others and keep them from moving.
If she is lucky, Mrs. Zhong will no longer feel dizzy and perhaps she will be able to help her mother deliver the baby.
So Qingping, you must buy time for us."
The longer you delay, the better.
Mrs. Zhong's arm was not broken, and with the help of another midwife, the mother's chances of giving birth safely were still very high.
"……yes!"
Qing Ping also thought of the seriousness of this, and quickly responded, "Grandma, you must keep a close eye on the people in the mansion. No one can enter our yard without my consent."
The little maid just now knew nothing. If she knew, she would definitely let it slip!
"I'll go over there myself and have someone take care of it."
Youshi quickly agreed.
She had actually already restricted those in the mansion who knew about the situation.
At this moment, she was busy inviting and testing midwives, and taking care of Qingzhu and the others' injuries, so she didn't have a chance to rest for a moment.
"For the rest, I'll leave it to Sister Qingping."
