Chapter 390 You really know how to pick the right time. Get out!
"Master, the eldest lady had a stomachache last night. The Madam asked a doctor to come and see her. She said she was about to give birth, but she hasn't given birth yet."
After hearing this, Qiao felt dizzy and Ji Bolian supported her.
Only then did Ji Qingwu see clearly that the maid who was speaking was Chun Xing, Ji Qingrong's personal maid.
Was it Chun Xing who came to Ji Mansion from the Mansion of Marquis Zhongyong to report the news?
Ji Qingwu frowned.
But when Ji Qingrong was about to give birth and needed her confidant to be by her side, the eldest sister's personal maid returned to her parents' home alone to call for help. Something must have happened inside.
Ji Qingwu's heart sank, and he said, "Chun Xing, come with me." She turned around and reminded him, "Dad, please take care of my mother and don't let her fall."
Mrs. Qiao was still feeling dizzy and wanted to go with Xiaowu.
Ji Bolian held her back and advised: "Xiao Wu is a doctor, she will be more useful if she goes there, otherwise you will faint in the Marquis' Mansion, and Qingrong and Xiao Wu will be distracted."
"Don't worry, we'll follow you slowly."
Qiao found a stone bench in the yard and sat down to relax.
Ji Qingwu trotted all the way to the carriage in front of the mansion gate.
She said to the person standing beside the carriage, "Chun Xing, come up and sit too. I have something to ask you."
After Chun Xing sat down, Ji Qingwu noticed her dirty shoes and the bruises on her wrists.
She asked, "Big sister started it last night, why did you come home to tell us now?"
Chun Xing glanced at Ji Qingwu and began to cry.
"Fifth Miss, it's all my fault. I didn't take good care of the lady..."
Ji Qingwu stopped her from talking and said, "Now is not the time to hold someone responsible. Tell me clearly what happened in the Marquis' Mansion."
Chun Xing choked up and said, "It was the Madam. She stopped the servants of Ning Hua Tang from spreading the news."
Ji Qingwu's eyes dimmed. It turned out that Madam Cui had interfered.
"We had agreed before that once Madam goes into labor, she will be sent to the clinic to wait for delivery."
Chun Xing said anxiously, "But for some reason, the Madam was very adamant and refused to let me go. A midwife has been prepared at home. With this delay, the Madam's stomach is getting more and more painful, and it's hard to move."
The more Ji Qingwu listened, the gloomier his mouth became.
"What did the doctor and midwife say?"
Chun Xing was actually a little afraid of the cold look on the face of the always smiling Fifth Miss.
She continued with a trembling voice, "I don't know where the doctor was invited from, but the labor-inducing medicine he prescribed didn't work."
"My wife couldn't bear the pain. I saw that I had no strength left, so I climbed out of the wall at the back door."
Ji Qingwu nodded and said, "You are great."
Chun Xing fell to her knees at Ji Qingwu's feet and cried, "Fifth Miss, please save my wife..."
"This is my big sister. You don't have to beg me."
Ji Qingwu lifted her up from the ground with great force and pressed her onto the side seat of the car.
"Where is my brother-in-law?"
Ji Qingrong was about to give birth. At this critical moment, where did Lu Juan, who had always been in love with his elder sister, go? !
Chun Xing said, "The Crown Prince is still in the palace. At noon, the servant beside the Crown Prince sent a message back saying that he had something important to do tonight and had to stay in the palace and could not return home."
Ji Qingwu's eyes flickered. He really knew how to pick the right time.
This "important matter" was most likely related to Emperor Wu Su's intention to lead the army in person, and the affairs of the court would presumably be handed over to this favorite of the emperor.
But even so, according to her understanding of Lu Juan, after learning that his wife was about to give birth, he should send someone to invite her over before he would feel at ease.
Ji Qingwu frowned and asked, "You haven't asked your eldest brother-in-law again?"
Chun Xing said, "Yes, the Madam Tai and the Second Madam have asked the servants to go, but no news has been sent back from the palace."
It would be strange if it could be transmitted back.
Lu Juan must be very busy at the moment, and it is still unclear whether the news can be passed into the palace.
Furthermore, it is still unknown whether that hateful old lady Cui and Feng Shuang really sent anyone there.
Ji Qingwu thought of something and said, "I was in a hurry to leave and forgot to bring the herbs."
Under the current circumstances, she doesn't trust Cui and tries not to touch anything in the Marquis' Mansion.
Ji Qingwu calmly ordered: "Chun Xing, get off the car now and go to the clinic. Ask Shopkeeper Mi to get some herbs for midwifery, and bring the most experienced midwife over."
Chun Xing nodded repeatedly and got off the carriage.
Ji Qingwu urged the coachman again and lifted the curtain with his hand, just hoping to get to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion as quickly as possible.
When she arrived at the gate of the marquis's mansion, the people at the gate stopped her.
"It's so late, who are you? The Marquis' Mansion is not receiving guests today!"
Ji Qingwu said: "I am not a guest, I am from the Ji family, let me in."
The guard at the door must have received some instructions, his expression became tense and his tone became more severe.
"How do you prove that you are from the Ji family? You are not allowed to come in without a visiting card."
Want her to prove her identity?
Ji Qingwu turned around and left without saying a word.
When the guard saw her leaving, he opened the door a crack and whispered something to the person inside.
But when the guard turned around, he saw Ji Qingwu, who was supposed to leave, holding a horsewhip in his hand and looking at him coldly.
“Get out of the way!”
The tall and strong security guard was stunned by her shouting. Ji Qingwu kicked open the door and walked in.
The security guard reacted and reached out to catch her.
"Don't refuse a toast and drink a forfeit. Get out of here!"
The thick black hand was about to grab Ji Qingwu's shoulder, but she shook it off perfectly by turning sideways.
Then, she whipped the guard with all her might on the upper arm of the hand that was trying to pull her, and knocked the guard to the ground.
Ji Qingwu held the bloody horsewhip in his hand and walked straight inside without even turning his head.
She trotted towards Ninghua Hall according to the direction she remembered.
But the road was blocked again. Four maids surrounded Ji Qingwu, and a person appeared from behind the corridor.
"So it's Madam Wei who's here... No, according to Master Ji, the Fifth Miss has nothing to do with the Wei family anymore. Oh, I don't know how to address you anymore."
Ji Qingwu looked at the person who spoke in a pretentious tone. It was the second wife, Feng Shuang.
Feng Shuang was not as kind as before, and his mean face was completely revealed.
"Who do you think is trying to break into our mansion? It wouldn't be surprising if it was the fifth young lady of the Ji family."
Ji Qingwu replied expressionlessly: "What kind of dog was I at that time that loved to block the road so much, it's not surprising that it was the second wife."
Feng Shuang choked: "You! What did you say?"
Ji Qingwu didn't have time to talk to her.
"Let your people get out of my way."
Feng Shuang twisted her waist, walked slowly to her, and said, "Fifth Miss, do you think the Marquis's Mansion is the Ji family? You can do whatever you want."
As he said this, he winked at the four maids, asking them to hold her back.
"First, please ask Miss Fifth to rest in the room in the backyard. Wait until the noise in Ninghua Hall calms down before letting her out."
