Wanjin Lady

Hongmei wiped her tears and said, "Girl, please don't say such unlucky words! You will be safe and sound!"

"Don't waste time... Listen to me... I'll be out of energy later..." Wen Wan shook her head, her breath weak, large beads of sweat on her forehead soaking her inner clothes. "If anything happens to me... find out if that Huai'an Marquis... is Zhao Heng. If he is... ask him to rescue my father... I'm willing to give him a child..."

"Just say... after he left... I fell deeply in love with him... I thought about him day and night... I cried every day. Considering that I'm dead... how could he... be a little soft-hearted... and be nicer to Father and you..."

"My dear girl! You are still thinking about this at this time!"

Hongmei was too embarrassed to say it out loud. At this time, her daughter was still thinking about how to trick her son-in-law one last time...

Chen Ma thought more, wiping the sweat from her forehead while choking and asking, "But if the son-in-law is really Lord Wei, the Marquis of Huai'an, he is so powerful and influential, how could he allow the children to be stranded outside? I'm afraid... both children will be snatched away..."

"It doesn't matter. If he's cruel enough, I'll give it all to him...as long as he can save my father..."

Aunt Chen was right. The girl had good intentions, but her son-in-law and her husband might not appreciate it!
Without the girl and the young master and young lady, even if the master rescues them, how can he survive alone?
If the son-in-law knew that he was tricked into becoming a son-in-law, would he spare the Wen family?

Aunt Chen wanted to ask again whether that man was her son-in-law, but Wen Wan's eyes were blurry and her hands were weak, obviously she had fainted from the pain.

Hongmei cried anxiously, completely helpless. Aunt Chen pushed her away and said, "Go, look in the carriage for a medicine box! I remember Madam Yao left two medicine boxes with ginseng in them before she left. Boil some for the girl and bring it over to keep her alive!"

Hongmei quickly got off the carriage to look for the medicine box.

The entire open space was looted by the bandits. Fortunately, Wei Zheng and his men appeared in time, and the things the bandits had stolen had not yet been transported, and were scattered all over the ground.

The more anxious Hongmei became, the harder it was to find the woman. Cheng Yunzhang called two servants to help, and comforted Hongmei: "Don't worry, Qingfeng and Azhou will help you find her first! I'll go to the nearby towns to see if there are any midwives or doctors!"

Hongmei's eyes lit up. Yes, what is needed most now is a midwife!
She heard from Aunt Chen that the time it takes for women to give birth varies, some taking a few hours, and some taking a day and a night. The team cannot do without a doctor!
Cheng Yunzhang quickly climbed onto his horse. He pulled the reins and reported to Yao Shizhen, "Teacher, I'm going to look for a doctor nearby."

"It's not safe for Junior Brother Xiuwen to go alone." Wei Zheng waved his hand, "Monkey, Zhao Heng, the two of you follow Master Cheng to find a doctor."

Zhao Heng?

Everyone on the field was slightly stunned, and then subconsciously looked at the subordinate named "Zhao Heng" beside Wei Zheng.

Zhao Heng was a tall and strong man, as sturdy as a big tree. He walked with a fierce look. When he smiled, his two big fangs were exposed, and he looked very silly.

It turns out... they are all just called Zhao Heng.

Same name and surname as Wen Wan’s husband.

Only the name is the same, everything else is different.

Cheng Yunzhang noticed the quiver on his back and, remembering the precise arrow shot in the forest just now, he was filled with awe. "Isn't this the brother who just shot and killed the bandit?"

Zhao Heng laughed loudly, his chest muscles trembling with each laugh. "You flatter me, young master. Although I don't know many characters, I do have some skill! But I'm not that great. Our Marquis is the real deal. He's a true archer who can hit a target from a hundred paces away!"

Wei Zheng urged him, "Enough with the nonsense, hurry back! Junior Sister Wen is waiting for you to bring back the doctor!" Zhao Heng responded, nimbly mounted his horse, and Hou Ji followed. Soon, the three of them disappeared into the thick night.

Hongmei continued to rummage through the drawers looking for the medicine box.

As she searched, she couldn't help cursing, "These damn bandits! Why didn't they show up earlier or later? Why did they wait until the girl was pregnant and had given birth before coming?" The Wen family finally had a new child, and now something bad happened. "There's no way to complain!"
Hongmei held the lamp and searched around on the grass, and suddenly she saw that her fingernails were full of dirt and dandruff.

These were the flakes of skin left over from when she had scratched the bandit's face during her resistance. Mixed with the fine fabric and dye from his clothes, a pitch-black mass was embedded in her nails.

suddenly.

The night breeze is gentle.

Hongmei's breathing stopped.

The lamp in his hand was blown out in an instant.

Hongmei's face changed drastically, not knowing what she was thinking about, and she stood there in a daze!
If Lu Ping had hanged herself, why was there a mass of dirt under her fingernails? Moreover, she remembered clearly that when Lu Ping was carried back... she and Chen Ma had cleaned her fingernails thoroughly.

So where did the crumbs between Lu Ping's fingers come from?
Lu Ping’s death…was it really suicide?
Hongmei turned and ran. She wanted to tell the girl about her discovery! The girl was a hundred times smarter than her. She must know the answer to anything she couldn't think of!
When Hongmei stumbled to the carriage, she was greeted by a strong smell of blood. Chen Ma was so anxious that her face turned pale. She raised her eyes and asked her, "Where's the ginseng soup?"

Seeing Hongmei's dazed expression, Mother Chen sternly scolded her, "You little girl! I only asked you to do this one thing, why are you so flustered?!"

Hongmei glanced at Wen Wan, who was in excruciating pain, and then at Chen Ma, whose face was red with anxiety. She licked her dry, wrinkled lower lip, finally suppressing all her doubts, and ran out, pulling aside the curtain. "Chen Ma, I'll go find some medicine now!"

Fifty meters away from the tent, Yao Shizhen was pacing anxiously, like an ant on hot pan.

He was a man and couldn't help much, but when he heard the painful groans coming from the carriage on the other side of the tent, Yao Shizhen couldn't help but feel anxious.

Wen Wan was pregnant with twins and had been frightened before, so this delivery was bound to be unsuccessful!
Wei Zheng sat on the large rock where Cheng Yunzhang had sat before, wrapped in the coat handed to him by his subordinates, and slowly polished his sword with a handkerchief. His tone was even more calm and nonchalant, "Teacher, don't worry. Every woman will go through this. Junior Sister Wen is a lucky person, and she will definitely give birth to a child safely."

Yao Shizhen was angry, thinking that the baby was not yours, so of course you were not in a hurry!
Yao Shizhen naturally knew that worrying was useless, so he could only sit down and sigh helplessly, "Your junior sister has a miserable life. This baby is a posthumous one, and they are twins. I'm afraid tonight will be extremely dangerous."

Twins?
That was really dangerous. When his mother gave birth to him and his elder sister, she almost lost her life.

Not to mention the excitement today.

"You showed up so timely today, but didn't your letter say you wouldn't come to Bozhou until next month?"

"We've got a new lead in the smuggling case, and it's very likely connected to a wealthy family in Bozhou. I followed the clues and came here. Also, I remembered that the teacher said we were going to Bozhou, and the mountain roads near Bozhou are not safe, so I brought my men here to meet the teacher first."

Yao Shizhen was still somewhat shaken, and gave a self-deprecating laugh, "If you had been any later, you might not have seen your master again." (End of Chapter)
