Chapter 460
When Jixiang returned to Jibai Residence, she found the entire courtyard bustling with activity.
Fortunately, there were many women in the courtyard who had given birth before, and they had already prepared everything they needed to. However, when it came to actually delivering the baby, no one dared to do it themselves.
Le'an paced anxiously in the courtyard. Seeing that Jixiang had returned so quickly, a sense of foreboding rose in her heart: "Jixiang, how is it?"
Jixiang shook his head with a grim expression: "It seems that the Marquis already knew I would go out, and that's why he didn't tell me to go out."
"What?! What do we do now?!"
Jixiang tugged at her, urging her to calm down: "How is your aunt?"
"The situation is not good."
Jixiang gritted her teeth.
If anything happens to Yunxi, she won't survive either.
"Wait in the yard!"
After leaving those words behind, Jixiang turned and ran away.
She avoided being seen by others and went to the side gate.
The side gate is like a completely isolated world; no matter how big the event is in the mansion, it is difficult to affect this place.
Granny Liu was sitting by the door embroidering something.
Now her relationship with her daughter is getting better and better, they talk more, and she looks completely different from before.
Hearing footsteps, Granny Liu subconsciously looked up and saw that it was Jixiang. She quickly stood up and said, "Jixiang, what brings you here?"
Ji Xiang hurried along: "You stay here and guard this place, just pretend you didn't see me!"
After saying that, Jixiang dashed out.
Although Granny Liu was puzzled, she didn't say anything and sat back down.
Jixiang ran wildly after exiting the side gate.
She had never realized before that the road from the Marquis's residence to Yiyuan Hall was so far.
She ran for a while, but then she couldn't run anymore and could only walk briskly while adjusting her breathing.
Just then, she came face to face with someone.
The man was tall and robust, and even when he was just strolling around the street, his steps were still steady and powerful, clearly indicating that he was a martial artist.
Upon seeing him, Jixiang's eyes lit up: "Commander Li!"
Li Ze was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then turned his head and recognized Ji Xiang: "You are the maidservant by Aunt Yun's side?"
Jixiang nodded hurriedly and explained his purpose: "Commander Li, my aunt is bleeding and urgently needs a doctor. Could you please go to Yiyuantang and ask Doctor Wei to come over?"
Her face flushed red: "Please forgive me, Commander, I am simply too exhausted to run any further. My aunt is waiting for Doctor Wei to save her life. If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, I would never have dared to ask Commander Li for help!"
Li Ze nodded: "Okay, you wait for me here and don't move."
After saying that, Li Ze turned around and ran.
He was incredibly fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye. Ji Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning against the side to calm her breathing, but her gaze remained fixed on the direction where Li Ze had vanished.
——
Soon, a carriage sped toward her, and the one who took over the role of coachman was none other than Li Ze!
"Get in the car!"
Before the carriage had even come to a complete stop, Jixiang got on: "Thank you, Commander Li, for not going through the main gate, but through the side gate!"
Li Ze nodded.
