Zhao Jingyu's face suddenly turned from sunny to rainy and snowy. He left behind a few friends and stormed out.
"Hey, what happened? It was fine just now..." several friends asked in surprise.
Cheng Zhiye asked Wei Jun: "What happened?"
Wei Jun shook his head and followed Zhao Jingyu.
After leaving Diancui Pavilion, Zhao Jingyu was half sobered up by the night wind and turned around to ask Wei Jun: "Why did she follow Fourth Aunt
Wei Jun said, "It is said that as soon as the Fourth Aunt arrived at the farm, she was called by the chief steward to serve. Perhaps the Fourth Aunt thought she was very useful, so she brought her with her."
Zhao Jingyu said unhappily, "Hu Sanmu, that old dog, deserved to die. How dare he let my people serve a concubine? Is she worthy?"
"..." Wei Jun thought, she only served you for two days, how can she be yours? Even if she is yours, she is someone you don't want. You thought in your heart that you would bring her here sooner or later, but you didn't tell her. Why should she stay with you
Zhao Jingyu glanced at him coldly: "Are you plotting against me in your mind?"
Wei Jun was startled and quickly denied, "I dare not."
"Don't think I don't know!" Zhao Jingyu snorted coldly, and then thought about it and felt that something was wrong. "That woman is very cunning. If she doesn't want to go with Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt can't take her away at all, unless she is willing. Yes, she must be willing. She wanted to come with me at that time, but unfortunately I didn't take her. Now that Fourth Aunt is gone, she will naturally spare no effort to seize this opportunity and try every means to let Fourth Aunt take her away."
After hearing his analysis, Wei Jun felt that it made sense: "But why is she in such a hurry to come to the capital?"
"Why else? The farm is too small for her!" Zhao Jingyu pouted, "She is just a vain woman who thinks she is good-looking and smart. She is unwilling to be buried in the farm and wants to venture out into the world of pleasure. Maybe she can climb up the social ladder!"
"But Fourth Aunt is not a high-ranking official!" Wei Jun said.
Zhao Jingyu glared at him and said, "Are you stupid? The Fourth Aunt is just a stepping stone for her. As long as she can be brought here, with her scheming mind, is she afraid that she won't be able to climb up the ladder?"
Wei Jun didn't think Xiu'er was that kind of person, but if he raised any objections, he would definitely be scolded by the Second Young Master, so he reluctantly agreed, "That's right."
Zhao Jingyu said angrily: "This hypocritical and vain woman is a waste of my love. Since she is so impatient, let her fend for herself. I want to see how long she can survive in this cannibalistic mansion!"
“…” Wei Jun remained silent.
Zhao Jingyu warned him: "Even if she is beaten to death, you are not allowed to help her!"
"Yes!" Wei Jun replied.

Xie Nanjia was awakened by a loud noise in the middle of the night. She sat up instinctively and grabbed the sword she had borrowed from the guard.
I held my breath and listened, and there seemed to be a woman's painful groaning in the noise.
She hesitated for a moment, lifted the curtain and looked out. It turned out that several carriages had stopped in the backyard at some point. There were people crowded in front of the carriages, including maids, servants, and guards. A man in a long gown stood in front of a carriage with an anxious expression, and the painful groans came from that carriage.
She had given birth to a child before, so she immediately realized that this was a woman giving birth, and that it was not going well.
Perhaps she felt the same way, so she couldn't help but worry about the woman.
I don't know where this family came from. I guess they were forced to come to the town because the bridge collapsed and they couldn't cross it. At this time, even the big bunk beds were already full, so there was no empty room for them.
However, looking at the family's situation, they seem to be people of status, but they would rather give birth in the car than occupy someone else's room. In this respect, they are a hundred times better than the Fourth Aunt.
Xie Nanjia listened carefully to the noise over there, and heard a maid reporting to the male owner: "Master, the lady is not in a good condition. How about asking the shopkeeper to see if there is a gynecologist or an experienced midwife in the town?"
Although the male host was anxious, his voice was very steady: "It's late at night now, it's not good to disturb others, you can ask someone to quietly ask the shopkeeper, don't be rude just because we are anxious."
The maid agreed and left quickly.
The man walked a few steps toward the car with his hands folded, and comforted the people in the car in a gentle voice: "Don't be afraid, ma'am, your husband is waiting outside!"
"Husband, it hurts so much..." the person inside cried.
The man hurriedly lifted the car curtain and wanted to go in to accompany her.
The two maids stopped him and said, "Master, this is unlucky."
The man shouted in a low voice, "My wife is mine, and my child is mine too. If there is anything unlucky, get out of the way!"
“…” The two maids looked at each other and finally stepped back.
The man lifted his clothes and got into the carriage.
Xie Nanjia looked at it and tears suddenly fell for some reason.
Men are indeed different. When she had a difficult delivery, she suffered for more than ten hours, but she didn't even see Zhao Jingping. Although she had no feelings for Zhao Jingping, he was still the father of her child. If he could go in and accompany her at all costs like this man, wouldn't it be a comfort to her
She sighed, lifted the car curtain, got out, and walked over there.
The guards of that family were very alert. When they saw Xie Nanjia approaching, they stepped forward to stop her and asked, "Who are you?"
Xie Nanjia said, "I am a traveler passing by. I took a detour here because of a collapsed bridge. I heard that your mistress had a difficult birth. I happen to have a prescription that may help her give birth smoothly."
