Chapter 1322 Zhou Qiao's Outburst
Hu Li went out through the side door. There were quite a few people gathered in front of the county government office, and it was very crowded.
However, Ren Huai and the other man still saw him when he went out.
Ren Huai and Steward Xu originally wanted to inquire about Qi Lie, but unfortunately, the people guarding the entrance of the county government office all had solemn expressions and wouldn't let anyone get close.
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to abandon their idea and planned to find someone to keep an eye on the situation when they got back.
Who knew that just as they turned the corner, they saw Xiang Weinan's capable subordinate hurriedly leaving.
Judging from his expression, it seemed like he had something very important to say.
Ren Huai followed him almost subconsciously, and then saw him go to Fenghuai Street and enter the Lu family's house.
Ren Huai and Steward Xu exchanged a surprised glance. "When someone came from the capital, Xiang Weinan actually sent someone to find Lord Lu Xiang right away?"
What does Qi Lie's arrival have to do with her?
Even if Xiang Weinan and she have a good relationship, and he is like a brother to Meng Yunzheng, that is still a personal relationship, right?
Ren Huai had a bad feeling, so he simply sat down at a small stall diagonally opposite the Lu family's house and watched.
However, the Lu family home was in complete chaos at this moment.
Zhou Qiao is about to give birth. Her due date was originally five or six days away, but this morning, she was chatting with Shu You about the feelings of being pregnant when she suddenly went into labor after only a few words.
The Lu family immediately became nervous. Fortunately, Zhao Xi happened to be staying at the Lu family's house with his pregnant wife during this time, and he immediately took Zhou Qiao's pulse to check her condition.
Shu Yu was about to leave when he saw this and immediately sent someone to find a midwife. He then sent someone to inform Da Niu outside the city.
Da Niu practically rode his horse back at breakneck speed, heading straight for Zhou Qiao's room as soon as he entered.
At that time, Zhou Qiao's condition was okay; she would feel pain from time to time, but it became more and more frequent later on.
Two hours have passed since she started labor, and from the initial contractions to her current screams, Da Niu is so anxious that his face has turned pale.
Besides Da Niu rushing over, Li Shi also came.
After informing Da Niu's servants that they had returned from the estate, he turned around and went to Shangshi Village, bringing not only Li Shi with him, but also Zhou Qiao's father and second sister.
However, they arrived late and had only been there a short time. Now, standing in the courtyard, they didn't know what to do.
Aunt Zhou originally wanted to come, but Zhou Qiao went into labor at the Lu family's house, and since Shu Yu was there, she was afraid and naturally didn't dare to come.
In addition, since she had previously sent over substandard pregnancy-preserving drugs, Da Niu had warned Li Shi and also warned her.
Aunt Zhou wasn't afraid of Da Niu. Not only did she not think she had done anything wrong, but she also retorted.
Da Niu forbade her from appearing in front of Zhou Qiao again, and even went to talk to Zhou's father about it.
Mr. Zhou was a man of few words, but he loved his children dearly. He didn't know much about pregnancy and childbirth, but he did know that pregnant women shouldn't take medicine casually.
Not knowing what to say to his sister-in-law, Zhou's father went to find his second brother.
Zhou Lao Er didn't respect his father before because his father had no sons, only four daughters, and his wife had died. With no son to carry on the family line, even his parents treated the second wife better than him when they were alive.
But things are different now. Zhou's father's daughter was lucky; she married a successful man, and the man's cousin was a powerful local official.
When Zhou Lao Er found out what his wife had done, he went back and gave her a severe scolding.
After that, Aunt Zhou never appeared in front of Zhou Qiao again.
