Yuan Hongjun quickly denied, “I wasn’t the one being stubborn, it was

Linjiang.”

Being mischievous was something kids liked to do. Despite his young age, his character was mature, and he would never do such a thing.

Fan Yuru smiled but did not say anything.

Seeing that Fan Yuru didn’t believe him, Yuan Hongjun hurriedly said, “I’m telling the truth.”

Fan Yuru could not help but laugh. “Alright, alright. I believe you, I believe you.”

Yuan Hongjun glanced at Fan Yuru, feeling somewhat helpless. Well, let the facts speak for themselves.

At the residence of the Vice Minister of Personnel.

It was the second young madam of the house who was giving birth.

In the yard, the Vice Minister, his wife, the second young master, and sother family members were waiting anxiously.

When Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning arrived, Second Young Madam had just broken her amniotic fluid.

A midwife was inside helping with the delivery.

The imperial physician was also there. They invited Chu Qingzhi to ensure that nothing would go wrong.

The Vice Minister approached Chu Qingzhi politely, “I’m sorry to trouble you, Miss Qingzhi.”

The second young master also cover, looking very worried, “Miss Qingzhi, my wife has always been frail. I’m afraid the childbirth might not go smoothly. Please take extra care.”

“We will ensure the safety of mother and child.”

Chu Qingzhi brought Chu Qingning into the delivery room.

The two sisters entered the delivery room, disinfected their hands with alcohol, put on white gowns and masks, then checked the pulse and health of the expectant mother.

After examining her, Chu Qingning’s brows furrowed, “Sister, her body is not suitable for pregnancy. After barely carrying the baby for ten months, her body is extremely weak, and her pulse is so faint it’s almost imperceptible. If this continues, it could be very dangerous.”

Chu Qingzhi also checked the pulse, confirming Chu Qingning’s diagnosis, “Give her a heart-strengthening pill.”

Chu Qingning did as she was told. “Fifth Sister, 1 think we can give her ssugar water or scandied plums to replenish her strength. What do you think?”

Chu Qingzhi nodded. “Sure.”

A maid approached, “Miss, we have prepared ginseng slices. Should we give them to Second Young Madam?”

Chu Qingning looked at Chu Qingzhi. Chu Qingzhi said, “Fourth Sister, you decide. If it’s wrong, I’ll correct it for you.”

Chu Qingning took a deep breath and composed herself. She said to the maid, “We don’t need the ginseng slices for now.”

Her expression was serious. Every word she said was powerful and convincing. “Prepare ssugar water and feed it to your madam.”

“Yes.”

Chu Qingzhi looked at Chu Qingning in admiration. She looked like a doctor now.

Second Young Madam reached out and pulled Chu Qingzhi’s hand, pleading, “Miss Chu, you must save the child.”

Chu Qingzhi held Second Madam’s hand. “You’re the only one who can save the child. Do you understand?”

The Second Young Mistress was stunned, and her eyes lit up again. “1 understand.”

Chu Qingning found it amazing that a single sentence could revive the hopes of a woman on the verge of despair. She secretly memorized this encouraging method in her heart.

Chu Qingzhi said to Chu Qingning, “Let’s examine her together to determine whether it’s going to be a normal delivery or if there are any other issues, so we can prepare in advance.”

Chu Qingning nodded. “Okay.”

After three hours, Second Young Madam gave birth to a son.

The midwife bathed the baby and then carried him out to announce the good news.

“Ugh…” Chu Qingning suddenly ran to the side, feeling nauseous and unable to control her stomach’s churning.

Chu Qingzhi said, “Sister, you go rest first, I’ll handle things here.”

Chu Qingning did not refuse. “Fifth Sister, callif you need my help.” Then, she rushed out of the door.

Seeing the childbirth scene up close for the first time, she couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

Second Young Madam smiled gently and said, “Miss Chu, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Chu Qingzhi took out a handkerchief and wiped Second Young Madam’s sweat. “After cleaning up, you can eat. Eat more, and your body will recover better.”

Second Young Madam nodded happily. “Okay, 1 understand.”

The midwife smiled and said, “This is the first tI’ve seen a pregnant woman so energetic after giving birth.”

With the help of Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning, Second Young Madam suffered less. Overall, the delivery went very smoothly. The mother suffered less, so she was naturally in good spirits.

Second Young Madam looked at Chu Qingzhi, her eyes filled with gratitude.

“It’s all thanks to Miss Chu and Miss Qingning. Otherwise, my body…”

“Second Young Madam, don’t say unlucky things. Everything is fine now, everything is good.”

“Good.”

Chu Qingzhi packed her things and went out. She received a lot of thanks. The most substantial thanks were 1,000 taels of silver and a box of 40 kilos of mangoes.

The mango was not produced by the Dating Dynasty. It was brought back from another country by the eldest young master during his travels. It was big and fragrant.

“It’s raining!”

“It’s raining, it’s raining!”

Chu Qingzhi and Chu Qingning had just returned to the residence when it rained heavily. The rain kept falling, and the air was filled with humidity.

Long Ridge Mountain was entirely enveloped in a curtain of rain. Fortunately, Da Bai found a cave and led them inside for shelter.

Upon entering the cave, they were startled.

There were five or six big gray wolves in the cave. The rain had darkened the daylight, and following Da Bai, they hadn’t thought much about it. It was only after entering the cave that they realized they had walked into a wolf’s den.

Fan Yuru unsheathed her sword, protectively placing Yuan Hongjun behind her, looking every bit the female hero.

Yuan Hongjun didn’t know what to say.

Da Bai growled softly, and the wolves, their dominance waning under the pressure of a stronger being, eventually braved the rain and fled the cave, disappearing into the downpour.

Both of them were stunned.

There was a lot of hay piled up in the cave. Yuan Hongjun made a fire and sat beside it to dry his wet clothes and keep warm.

Fan Yuru sat at the side and looked at the heavy rain outside the cave. She said worriedly, “It’s raining heavily. How are we going to get down the mountain?”

Yuan Hongjun said, “If the rain doesn’t stop, we’ll go down the mountain tomorrow. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous.”

The mountain was too steep. When it rained, they might encounter a landslide. Boulders would roll down, and the road would be slippery, leading to a dangerous fall.

Fan Yuru was only worried for a second before she becexcited. She walked around the cave. “I haven’t slept in the wilderness before. Let’s try it today.”

Yuan Hongjun didn’t know what to say.

Why was Fan Yuru’s reaction always different from what he had expected?

Da Bai lay at the cave entrance, catching rain with its tongue. Its face fur was completely wet. Suddenly, it swooped down and bit a big hare.

In the heavy rain, Da Bai quickly returned to the cave with the hare and dropped it in front of Yuan Hongjun.

Yuan Hongjun smiled and patted Da Bai’s head, “Impressive. Cwarm up by the fire, dry your fur so you don’t get sick.”

Da Bai lay in front of the fire, intending to dry its face fur first.

Yuan Hongjun lifted the rabbit, drew a dagger from his boot, and went to the entrance to clean it. If all went well, the hare would be their dinner that evening..
