The second lady inferred that Shen Ke might go to Linzhou to seek revenge on Shen Nian after killing someone, so she hurried back to the house to write a letter.
After the letter was written, the second master was asked to find a reliable person to deliver it to Xia Tian as quickly as possible.
This matter cannot be delayed. Even if her inference is wrong, it is a good thing to remind Shen Nian and Xia Tian.
The Second Master was still a little hesitant, "What if Liu Jin'er wasn't killed by Chen Ke? What if he just went out?"
Liu Jin'er is the daughter of Chen Ke's third uncle. At that time, his eldest brother did not agree to let Liu Jin'er marry into the family, but Chen Ke insisted on marrying her. Why would he kill her?
"Didn't you hear what the government said? He beat them with a candlestick, and took away everything in the room. He hasn't come back in three days. It must be him." The second wife felt that it was definitely Chen Ke.
This nephew is just like his mother, a wolf cub with a soft side. It is not impossible for him to kill Liu Jin'er when she is no longer useful to him!
"Even if it was him, he didn't necessarily go to Linzhou." The second master still didn't believe it. "Chen Nian is now the governor of Linzhou, a second-rank official. How dare he cause trouble for a playboy like Chen Ke?"
"He is at the end of his rope now. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. What if?" The second wife said anxiously, "Send someone over quickly, before Shen Ke does. If something happens to Shen Nian, it will be too late for us to regret it.
Besides, even if we were wrong in this matter, it can still serve as a reminder to them so that they can have a better idea of what to do when they encounter it, and not be completely clueless and be exploited by Chen Ke again."
The Second Master thought for a while and felt that what the Second Madam said made sense. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it now!"
After the second master finished speaking, he took the written letter and went out.
They arranged reliable guards and traveled day and night, arriving in Linzhou in about ten days.
“Master, this is what the Second Master asked his subordinates to deliver.” The guard handed the letter to Shen Nian respectfully.
Shen Nian thought something had happened at home, so he quickly opened the letter and read it at a glance.
After thinking for a while, he told Mu Chen, "Take this brother to rest first!"
After seeing Mu Chen leave with the Second Master's guards, Mu Feng came over and asked, "Master, is there something wrong at home?"
Mu Feng saw Shen Nian frowning, thinking something had happened, and asked nervously.
"Take a look!" Shen Nian handed the letter to Mu Feng.
Only about ten days had passed since I last received a letter from home, and I actually received another letter from the Second Madam.
The last letter mentioned that Chen Ke was expelled from the clan, but not long after that, he actually killed Liu Jiner and was very likely heading towards Linzhou.
"Master, shall I arrange someone to watch over the city gate?" Mu Feng was also a little worried.
Although this does not worry Chen Ke, it is better to take precautions before it happens and be careful to prevent the dog from doing something desperate. It is definitely a good idea to keep an eye on it first.
Chen Nian thought for a moment, "Well, you discuss this with Mu Lin. Send people to guard the road that must pass through Linzhou, and then..."
Shen Nian narrowed his eyes. As long as Shen Ke dared to come to Linzhou, he would make sure he never came back.
Mu Feng understood instantly, "Don't worry, Master, just leave this matter to me."
With him and Mu Lin around, no one will be allowed to enter Sangluo City alive.
"Well, go ahead!"
Shen Nian nodded. Although Shen Ke’s coming to Linzhou was just the second lady’s guess, he felt that it must be correct.
Considering how much Chen Ke hated him, there was no way around it.
When he got home in the evening, Shen Nian showed the letter to Xia Tian again.
"No way? Is Chen Ke so cruel now?" Xia Tian sighed. It had only been a short time since he was driven out, and he even caused a death.
This Chen Ke is really a piece of trash, he is nothing if he leaves Wu'an Marquis Mansion!
"Don't go out during this period, just stay at home and wait for the birth!" Shen Nian looked at Xia Tian's belly.
The midwife said that it would only take a month. Although she would stay at home most of the time, she would still go out to help sometimes.
Aunt Zhang said that we can’t run around anymore.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Xia Tian replied with a smile.
Although Chen Ke might come to Linzhou, she was not worried at all.
Now that she knows the news in advance, Shen Nian will definitely take precautions in advance.
Time passed quickly and soon it was October. Xia's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was almost time for delivery.
Shen Nian didn't dare to go far during this period and just worked in the governor's office.
In mid-October, Cui's aunt came. She was also calculating that Xia Tian was about to give birth, so she came to see.
The old lady of the Cui family thought that there were no elders on Shen Nian's side, and it would be difficult for her to give birth without a close relative to watch over her, so she sent her aunt over directly.
"Aunt, why are you carrying so many things?" Xia Tian asked with some confusion as he watched Aunt Cui directing the maid to move a pile of things over.
"Xia Xia, don't blame your aunt for acting on her own!" Her aunt held her hand. "You're about to give birth, and your grandma and I are worried, so we decided to come and stay with you for a while."
She came here today not just to take a look, but also to take care of Xia Tian during her confinement period before going back.
Xia Tian was a little touched. "Aunt, now you are here with me, what about my family?"
The Cui family is headed by my aunt, and the mistress of this big family has a lot of things to deal with every day.
"It's okay, your fifth aunt is still here!" The eldest aunt waved her hand, "Quickly arrange a room for me, I'll have the maid move my things in."
Xia Tian quickly asked Ning Xue to take everyone to the next room.
Since her aunt-in-law is coming to take care of her during the confinement period, they can only live in the same yard.
I originally thought that my aunt would have to wait for a few days, but Xiatian went into labor shortly after dinner the next night.
"Xia Xia, is she about to give birth?" While supporting Xia Tian, the aunt quickly called on others to call the midwife over.
"My stomach hurts. I might be giving birth!" Xia Tian said while enduring the cramps.
"It must have started." My aunt understood.
Fortunately, she had given birth to several children and had experience. She quickly instructed the maid to help Xia Tian to the delivery room that had been prepared long ago?
Shen Nian had gone to the study to deal with official business when she heard Mu Chen rushing over and saying, "Master, the Madam is about to give birth."
Shen Nian stood up from the chair in a flash.
He threw down his pen and walked out the door.
Mu Chen saw Shen Nian go out and quickly followed him.
When Shen Nian arrived, the midwife and Aunt Zhang were already waiting in the delivery room.
My aunt was instructing the maid to boil water quickly.
Everyone got busy.
There was no one guarding the door, so Shen Nian lifted the curtain and went in.
"Oh, my young master, this is not the place for you to stay. Go out and wait." When Aunt Zhang saw Shen Nian coming in, she hurried out.
Xia Tian would feel pain in waves. Although she had never given birth to a child, she still knew the necessary knowledge.
At this moment, he was walking slowly on the ground with Ningxiang's support.
