Caiyu shook her head and said, "I haven't seen him. He's not in the bamboo forest. Do you want me to look for him outside?"

"Forget it. I won't look for you."

I don't know where to go.

She originally wanted to ask Chu Xuanling about the whereabouts of Chu Xuanche.

Since Chu Xuanche was chasing him, he should know where Chu Xuanche was.

Now he himself doesn't know where to go.

This pair of brothers have always been elusive.

Forget it, if she can’t find it, then forget it, let her go by herself.

I don’t think Chu Li will do anything to her.

"Caiyu, I'm going there for a while."

"Now?" Caiyu looked at the weather and said, "I'm afraid it will snow again."

Ruan Xinchen looked at the sky and thought: Even if she had to go there, she would have to go in the evening or evening. She would still have time to come back.

"It's okay, I'll be back before it snows."

She wrapped herself up tightly and went to the stable to get a horse.

If you want to go and come back quickly, riding a horse is the most convenient way.

I learned horse riding in my youth.

Originally, she didn't want to reveal her ability to ride a horse, so she planned to wait until the next spring, when she had the opportunity, and then pretend to learn it.

But now I don't care so much.

It's not possible to take a carriage in this weather.

Riding a horse is much faster than taking a carriage, and it didn't take long to reach Chu Li's villa outside the city of 깊.

There was someone waiting at the door, and as soon as he saw her, he tactfully came to help her lead the horse.

"Second sister, my master has been waiting for a long time. Please come in and leave it to me right away."

Ruan Xinchen nodded slightly, threw the reins to him, and walked slowly into the yard.

In the teahouse again, Chu Li was already waiting.

Ruan Xinchen took a deep breath and walked in.

The dragon in the house was burning very brightly and she felt a little hot wrapped in her cloak.

Ruan Xinchen took off her cloak, and a maid immediately came over to take it and helped her hang it on the hanger.

"Xinchen, come here."

Ruan Xinchen walked towards him and looked down at him, "Your Highness said that you found the midwife who delivered my mother?"

Chu Li poured the tea slowly and said, "Sit down first and talk later."

Ruan Xinchen did not sit down, but stood there, not saying a word, just staring at him.

You know what, Chu Xuanche's trick is quite effective.

The two of them were in a stalemate for a while, and finally Chu Li was defeated with a wry smile.

"Yes, I found her. She is not from the capital, but from Xiangzhou. In order to deliver your mother, Madam Ruan spent a lot of money to find a midwife in Xiangzhou. It took her several days just to get here. Your mother was born prematurely, and it was impossible to predict it in advance, so... she found a midwife from another place in advance. Premature births are all man-made."

Ruan Xinchen took a deep breath and said that her mother's death was too strange.

"What about the old woman?"

Chu Li glanced to the side, and the maid understood and opened the door and went out.

After a while, a very old woman came in.

She knelt down with a thud, and said in tears: "Sir, my mother has explained everything she should have explained. I really don't know the rest. It's almost the New Year, please let me go back."

Chu Li said calmly: "Talk to this Miss Xiao again."

The old woman turned to look at Ruan Xinchen, thinking that this young woman was dressed like a young woman, and was in the same room with this nobleman, and was supposed to be his wife, but it turned out that she was actually his younger sister.

Sister 께 is still dressed as a woman?

She was confused, but did not ask any more questions. She just told him what she knew again.

"During the New Year that year, someone brought me a gold ingot and asked me to go to the capital to deliver a baby for a noble. They said the noble's pregnancy was not good, and when they learned that I was a famous midwife, they came all the way from afar and spent a lot of money to invite me to deliver the baby. I didn't think much about it at the time. I was praised and dazzled by the gold ingot, and I was very proud. I thought I was a midwife of my generation, but I didn't expect that my reputation would spread far and wide, and even the nobles in the capital knew me.

When I got there, I realized, how could the noble lady's pregnancy be bad? The noble lady's baby was not even due yet, but the lady in the mansion ordered me to induce labor for the woman, so that she could give birth to the baby early. They say that ripe melons fall to the ground, but this melon is not ripe, how can it fall to the ground? This is an outrageous thing. But... but..."

Having said this, she slapped herself hard.

"I have worked for a married woman all my life and I have never earned that much money. I am old and I had been thinking of quitting after one more year. With this ingot of gold, I won't have to work for another year. After being threatened and tempted by the lady of that family, I gave in without even gritted my teeth.

I was skilled and courageous, so I thought, let's just hasten the birth. We should all think positively, the baby will come earlier and take time to recuperate, and the mother will suffer less for two months, right? I induced the birth of that woman, and using my experience as a midwife, I helped her give birth to the baby safely, with both mother and child safe."

Ruan Xinchen was startled, "Is mother safe?"

"Yes, mother is safe. Although it is not right to induce labor, at least her life was saved. I will take the gold ingot."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ruan Xinchen cautiously, and occasionally turned to look at Chu Li.

Looking at their expressions, she didn't even dare to get angry.

This happened more than ten years ago, and she was fine at the time, so she just kept the money steady.

She never expected there would be a sequel.

Ruan Xinchen took a deep breath and asked again: "Do you know why Madam 꺶 asked you to help her give birth?"

The mother-in-law nodded and said, "I heard that Madam You asked someone to calculate that those two days are auspicious days for birth. If you miss them and there are no auspicious days for six consecutive months, the baby will be born unlucky."

"Oh." Ruan Xinchen smiled bitterly.

I thought it was not easy for Cui Yun to find an excuse.

"Are you sure your mother is safe?"

"It's absolutely true. As midwives, we don't just stay with the mother until she gives birth. We also have to check the baby and the mother's body, fix the baby's umbilical cord, wrap the baby, clean the mother, and make sure the mother is safe before we get the reward and leave. I got a reward of 10 taels of gold per piece back then. I remember it very clearly."

So she could guarantee that the mothers and premature babies who gave birth in the capital that year were safe.

If what she said was true, then how did the mother and child die?

Did Cui Yun kill him after Wai Po left?

When Ruan Xinchen asked Grandma Wan about what happened next, she didn't know.

꿯正母떖, her mission completed, she took the money and left.

After explaining everything that needed to be explained, the old woman kowtowed again and begged for mercy, "I have said everything that needs to be said, sir, please let me go back."

She is in her seventies or eighties now. She must have been in her teens when she did this, and it is indeed the end of her career.

She takes money to do things, so the responsibility is not hers.

Ruan Xinchen asked Chu Li to let her go back.

The old woman thanked Ruan Xinchen profusely and politely told him to come to her if he needed anything.
