The excavation project at Ziyunling proceeded in an orderly manner, and Qin Anmin's men did not notice anything unusual until a small path was dug through.
Since Su Qinghe returned, no one has tried to assassinate her. Because Ling Feng is at the mansion, the Seven Kill Pavilion has sent many people to protect her secretly.
Su Qinghe had no objection to this. Free power was free, so why not use it? It would be good to strengthen the defenses of the manor, and she could feel more at ease about the safety of Lin Xi and the others when she was away.
"My lady, the appointed time is fast approaching. Shouldn't we invite the fortune teller to our residence?"
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Su Qinghe sat to one side eating melon seeds. In the middle was a small table where Lin Xi, Ji Yuan, Ji Qingyu and Qin Ange each sat on one side, intently looking at the small square in front of them. Ling Feng and Su Qinghe sat on the other side.
"Okay, I'll give the order after I watch one more game."
Su Qinghe stood up, circled around the men, and occasionally commented.
Almost two months have passed since she returned. Her operating room is ready, and everything that needs to be prepared is ready. She can finally relax completely.
A leisurely, carefree life naturally requires finding some fun. With so many people in the family, how can we do without something as good as mahjong?
She acted on her idea immediately, so she drew a sketch that very day and handed it over to the craftsmen to make. It was completed in a few days.
After patiently teaching them several times, and with Su Qinghe's guidance, they were able to get the hang of it. However, after playing for a few days, they completely fell in love with this novel thing, and now they get together to play a few rounds almost every day.
"Haha! I won! Pay up, pay up, one string of cash for everyone!"
Qin Ange excitedly pushed aside the row of mahjong tiles in front of him, rubbing his hands together with his eyes shining brightly.
Ji Qingyu looked at the empty plate with a sullen face. "I...I'll write an IOU."
It's only the middle of the month, and half of the monthly allowance Su Qinghe gave him has already been spent; his budget is almost gone.
Looking at Qin Ange's excited face, Ji Qingyu pouted and suddenly began to envy him for having so much dowry.
If nothing had gone wrong in his family, his dowry would definitely have been several times more than Qin Ange's!
Qin Ange was taken aback. Hearing him say that, she realized he had no money left in his plate for the day, and quickly waved her hand generously.
"Brother Qingyu, your luck is really bad today! It's just a game, don't be so formal! If you don't have any money today, that's fine too. I don't need this much money normally anyway."
As he spoke, he took the money from Lin Xi and Ji Yuan and handed it to him. "Shall we play two more rounds?"
Ji Qingyu stood up. "No, let Ling Feng play instead. I haven't won a single game today, so I'd probably lose the money anyway. You can keep it for yourself."
He glanced at Ling Feng, who was watching the show from the side, and gestured for him to sit in his seat.
Ling Feng nodded, supporting his waist as he slowly sat down. Qin Ange, seeing this, did not try to persuade him further.
The four of them started playing mahjong again, and the pleasant clattering of the tiles filled the pavilion.
Ji Qingyu sat down to the side, picked up the small clothes that were half-finished, and while checking the progress on the table, she threaded a needle.
The scene was very harmonious. Su Qinghe smiled and turned to leave, instructing Zhang Fu to invite the peacekeeper.
Zhang Fu hurriedly left after receiving the order. Su Qinghe returned to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to continue watching the card game.
Ling Feng has played quite a few games in the past month. He is skilled and plays his cards quickly, and soon he won a hand.
Outside, a heavy rain was pouring down, which, combined with the clattering sound of mahjong tiles being rubbed inside the pavilion, created a very pleasant atmosphere.
During this time, Su Qinghe also played a couple of rounds. The "game" only ended when Zhang Fu brought Wen Gong back.
The group returned to the hall, where the steward was already waiting. Since Lin Xi and Ji Yuan were pregnant around the same time, they had invited both of them, just in case they both went into labor at the same time.
"Greetings, Patriarch Su, and gentlemen." The two greeted each other in unison.
Su Qinghe nodded and pointed to Lin Xi and Ji Yuan.
"Both of you are experienced, while my husbands are both giving birth for the first time, so they are inevitably a little nervous. Each of you will be responsible for one of them and must take good care of them. Once they have given birth safely, the Su family will definitely present them with a generous gift."
Upon hearing Su Qinghe's words, both of them remained calm, their faces still bearing joyful smiles.
"Please rest assured, Patriarch Su, we are well-known in Tianhe County. Every prominent family in the county hires us to deliver babies, and we have never had any mishaps!"
The other person also looked very confident.
"Yesterday I went to deliver the baby for Li Wei, the head of the Li family. At that time, the baby was breech and almost had a difficult delivery. I spent a lot of effort, but in the end, both father and child were safe!"
Hearing the two men boast about their rich experiences, Su Qinghe nodded in satisfaction.
She trusted Zhang Fu to handle things; he hired only reputable and reliable people. Now, she just had to wait and see how Lin Xi and her husband's stomachs reacted.
She will be six months pregnant in less than ten days, which is just the right time to set up the delivery room.
Su Qinghe gave Zhang Fu a wink, and Zhang Fu quickly handed over the prepared silver.
"Then I'll trouble you two to stay at my residence for the next few days. Please feel free to ask if you need anything, just make sure you take good care of my two young masters."
The two took the money bag, weighed it in their hands, and beamed with joy, readily agreeing.
After explaining everything, the two followed Lin Xi and Ji Yuan back to the courtyard, where they were busy setting up the delivery room.
After the men left, Ling Feng asked Su Qinghe.
"According to the timeline you mentioned, I'm only a little over a month behind them, but my belly is already bigger than theirs. Shouldn't you get me some sooner? I'm afraid I'll have a premature birth..."
Hearing him say that, Su Qinghe pondered for a moment and nodded.
She can't handle the surgery alone; she needs to recruit and train a few stable employees first, so they can assist her.
Seeing that she agreed, Ling Feng remembered what she had said before and couldn't help but ask.
"You said you could help me have a smooth delivery, how do you do that?"
Su Qinghe stared intently at him. "This matter may be a bit shocking to you, but I promise nothing bad will happen, although it will hurt a lot afterwards."
Ling Feng frowned. "Pain is the easiest thing for me."
Su Qinghe smiled. "That's good."
Ling Feng hesitated again: "Should we notify Bai Xiaojiu in advance and ask her to come and help...?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly dared not look Su Qinghe in the eye. After all, Bai Xiaojiu was a woman. If she really wanted to help, she would definitely be in the delivery room when he gave birth, and then his innocence would be gone.
He didn't care before, but now... he's afraid of Su Qinghe...
Su Qinghe was unaware of his deep thoughts and made decisions based solely on the actual circumstances.
Without even thinking, she refused outright.
"No need, I can handle it."
Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, thank you."
