Song Jinhe poked Su Chengyi's forehead with a finger, then turned to look at Gu Yueyan apologetically, "Yan'er, look at how foolish your father is. Don't be angry with your father. I'll ask your father to find the officials again and won't let you go over to help. Doctor Bai is alone, we can just send some more herbs over."
"No, mother. I'll go. Father is right. No matter how conflicts arise between the Gu family and me, in the eyes of outsiders, I am still the daughter of the Gu family. Ji Tai, Lu Zan, and Zhou Fuan are all General Gu's people. Naturally, they won't do anything to me."
Song Jinhe looked at Su Zhenbei.
Su Chengyi also looked at Su Zhenbei with a smile.
"Zhenbei, your wife is right. Look, the officer sent by Captain Zhou to pick up Yan'er is waiting outside the cave. If you don't want Yan'er to go, I will follow the officer back. At most, I can say a few good words to Captain Zhou. At worst, he will scold me and whip me. It's just a small matter."
[Dad, you are such a fool. Who said you are innocent? Look, you are quite thoughtful.]
Su Mibao chuckled, but of course she didn't dare let her elder brother hear it.
"Warm yourself up by the fire and change your clothes."
Su Zhenbei only said a few words, and then everyone remembered that they were still wearing half-wet clothes. It was really because of the disturbance caused by the people from the third branch of the Su family that they forgot about it.
"Yes, Yan'er, you see, mother is really out of her mind. You are still wearing wet clothes. Go in quickly, warm yourself up, and change into clean clothes."
Gu Yueyan felt warm in her heart. Since her mother died, she and her brother had been living under the control of the stepmother in the Gu Mansion. She only saw disgust and sympathy in the eyes of others. Since she entered the Su family, although the Su family confiscated her property and exiled her as soon as she entered, the whole family treated her very well. Especially her new husband, he never asked his wife to listen to her parents-in-law like those sons of noble families, and regarded the husband as the sky. He felt that it was natural for his wife to be wronged and filial to his parents.
Since Su Zhenbei woke up, his every word and action showed his preference for her.
"I'll go tell the officer right now that I was the one who spoke too much. I'll take care of it. Madam, Zhenbei, don't worry about me."
Su Chengyi's fat face drooped and he looked pitiful. He just moved his mouth but did not turn around and walk away.
"You'll never grow up. You don't act like a father in front of the children at all."
Old Madam Su felt sorry for her son, but since the trouble was caused by her son himself, she couldn't just tell her grandson's wife to clean up the mess.
【Haha, I am dying of laughter. My cheap father is really a troublemaker and a coward. He is afraid of being whipped when he goes back. But, hehe, my eldest brother really doesn't give my father any face. He is a strong protector of his wife. Well, I like this kind of elder brother. My eldest sister-in-law is such a good person, and the eldest brother has to love her like this. However, I can't just watch my father being whipped by the police. Although my father is a coward, he still loves us very much. 】
"Dad, wait a minute. I'll change my clothes and go with you to see the official."
Gu Yueyan looked at her father-in-law's cowardly look and thought it was very cute. She wanted to laugh, but she was the daughter-in-law, and a new daughter-in-law, so she could only hold back her laughter.
"real?"
Su Chengyi's eyes immediately lit up. He took a step forward and said, "I knew that our Yueyan is a good girl. She won't stand by and watch her father get beaten and scolded."
Having said that, he turned around and snorted at Su Zhenbei, "Humph, you're much better than this brat. I really love you for nothing."
Then he turned around and smiled at Gu Yueyan.
"Yueyan, from now on you are not my father's daughter-in-law, you are my biological daughter. I will love you as much as my baby Mi. I don't want that brat anymore. I am happy with you two daughters."
Su Sinan: How could I be shot while I was lying down? Dad, I didn't make you angry. You can just throw away my elder brother, but why did you also throw me away? How could you forget that when we went to find the officials together just now, you said that I was your most caring little baby? Gu Yueyan changed into clean clothes and came over.
"Su San, you go with the young lady."
"Yes, young master."
Su San accompanied Gu Yueyan away.
It was just as well that the brat didn't let him accompany Yueyan. Su Chengyi was happy to pester his wife.
"Hurry up, clean up the cave, cook, take a bath, and change clothes. Rest early. If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, we'll have to travel in the rain. The roads in the mountains are not easy to walk early, and it will be tiring."
Madam Su ordered the women in the house to cook quickly, and at the same time she held Ye Ranqing's hand distressedly, "Alas, Qing'er has suffered with our family. If it were in the past, at your age, we would have prepared a wet nurse and a midwife."
"Mother is right. Whenever I think of this matter, I get worried. Not to mention this desolate mountain, even if we were in a place with people, we are exiled and have no place to hire a midwife."
When Song Jinhe talked about this, she was also worried. "I thought Yan'er knew some medical skills. Alas, she may not know this."
Song Jinhe thought, Gu Yueyan just knows some medical skills. But she is a new bride after all. As soon as she entered the house, she encountered the confiscation of property and exile. She and Zhenbei didn't have a bridal chamber. How can a grown-up girl who has never given birth to a child know how to deliver a baby? "Mom, second sister-in-law, don't worry. After all, I am a military commander. I am not spoiled. This child will be seven months old tomorrow, and he will be born on the way anyway. When the time comes, you, mom, sister-in-law and the maids will watch me deliver the baby."
After all, Ye Ranqing was a military commander and came from a village. She spoke straightforwardly and was not as shy as the ladies in the inner house.
"How can that be possible? Sister-in-law, you don't know. Giving birth is no small matter. Although I have given birth to several children, I can't deliver them. Neither can Nanny Song."
Madam Su and Nanny Su looked at each other, and Nanny Su smiled sheepishly, "Seventh Madam, I don't know how to deliver babies. I only delivered pigs and sheep in the countryside."
[Pfft——Auntie Su, are you here to make fun of me? ]
Su Mibao had long forgotten that she was a little kid. She was so amused by what Grandma Su said that she giggled and danced her little hands and feet.
"that--"
A timid voice sounded,
"I can deliver babies."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Everyone looked at the person who was speaking. Then everyone's mouth opened wide, as if an egg was stuffed inside, unable to close.
The person being stared at twisted the corner of his clothes, lowered his head, and said uncomfortably, "I'm afraid that everyone will laugh at me. I have never given birth to a child myself. However, I lived with my grandmother when I was a child. My grandmother was a midwife in our hometown town. I carried the basket for my grandmother when I was eight years old and watched her deliver babies. My grandmother also taught me. However, my grandmother taught me not to tell anyone. She said that if people knew that I was an unmarried girl and learned to deliver babies, my reputation would be ruined and no good family would be willing to marry me."
