On the tenth day, Jiang Liu and her servant came to find Qiu Yan early in the morning, intending to go with her to Huaiyuan to look for a shop.
Jiang Liu went to Huaiyuan, hoping to see if her brother and sister-in-law had returned.
Ever since she came to Baiyang with Qiu Yan a few days ago, she had heard that two people claiming to be her parents had come twice before and after the Lunar New Year.
Upon hearing this, she immediately went back to her parents' home.
Unexpectedly, when she returned home, she found that her parents were not there, nor were her third brother and sister-in-law.
Only after asking did I learn that my parents had gone to Shangjin to find my two older brothers.
Meanwhile, her third brother and sister-in-law went out to look for her.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Liu felt a tightness in her chest.
Immediately, she sent a message by carrier pigeon to her eldest and second eldest brothers, who were far away in Shanghai, so as not to cause her parents excessive worry.
Knowing that her parents wouldn't be back for a while and that her third brother and sister-in-law might have gone to Baiyang to look for her, she didn't linger and returned to Baiyang that very day.
However, upon returning to Baiyang, she did not see her third brother and sister-in-law.
When asked, the shopkeeper who was on duty during the Spring Festival also said that he had not seen her third brother and sister-in-law.
This made her feel somewhat depressed.
To cheer herself up, she volunteered to accompany Qiu Yan to see the shop the next day.
Of course, she herself also wanted to expand her business to Huaiyuan.
Since the clothing store opened, Qiu Yan has made a lot of money.
Today, the two met. Qiu Yan said that the current shop has been agreed upon, but the formal handover will not take place until after the fifteenth.
She happened to have some free time and wanted to go to Huaiyuan to look for medicine merchants, check out the shops there, and learn about the market conditions.
With money in hand, the natural next step is to make money from money.
Qiu Yan was just about to go to Huaiyuan with Jiang Liu when she bumped into Madam Ding, who was rushing to find her.
She arrived just in time; she was so close to leaving.
At this moment, Qiu Yan realized that she was really busy.
Madam Ding first gave Jiang Liu a brief greeting,
"Miss Jiang is here too."
Then, she looked at Qiu Yan and hurriedly said, "Miss Qiu, I've come to see you again. My sister-in-law..."
Qiu Yan's mind drifted to Madam Zhang's shapely pregnant figure.
"What's wrong with Mrs. Zhang?"
"My sister-in-law is having severe abdominal pain, which comes in waves. She also had some spotting just now. I'd like to ask you for help to see what's wrong with her."
Madam Ding was also helpless. Her sister-in-law forbade male doctors to get close to her, so she had to trouble Qiu Yan again.
Qiu Yan pressed further, "How many months pregnant are you now?"
Mrs. Ding: "It's been seven months already."
"It's already seven months." Qiu Yan felt it was likely a sign of premature labor. "Hurry up!"
Hearing Madam Ding's urgent words, and recalling the painful memory of losing two sons, Jiang Liu quickly said, "Xiao Yan, I'll wait for you at home."
She loves children, and the last thing she wants to hear is something happening to a child.
Qiu Yan nodded. She was still thinking about opening a pharmacy, so she would go out to find medicine and seek medical advice whenever she could.
Judging from Madam Ding's tone, Madam Zhang's condition seemed quite serious.
Without further ado, Qiu Yan, along with Madam Ding, went to the Zhang residence again.
Master Zhang was busy with business and had gone out to socialize early in the morning; he was not at home at the moment.
Mrs. Zhang lay on her side on the bed, clutching her aching abdomen with both hands, her expression pained, and she occasionally let out low moans.
The little maid standing beside him looked nervous.
"Madam, please hold on. Madam Ding has already gone to fetch Miss Qiu for you."
Mrs. Zhang shook her head vigorously; she just wanted to shut herself away and not see anyone.
