Chapter 241
"Nonsense!" Xie Yanyu scolded, "You are going to give birth in less than two months, and you haven't even found a midwife, let alone a doctor..."
As he spoke, his brows were tightly knitted, he felt that his sister was still a child, even if she was going to be a mother, she was still a child.
There is no such plan. If it were a noble family in the capital, they would have been careful to take care of the fetus from the moment they got pregnant, pay attention to everything, and prepare everything.
She, on the other hand, went out to the street with her bulging belly and pushed and shoved with the soldiers at the gate of the yamen.
If there is a mistake!
Xie Wan Ning felt quite aggrieved after being scolded.
How could she not know about hiring a midwife? But Mother-in-law Li said that her own mother was a midwife, and she followed her mother in her early years and learned from her. Later, she gave birth to a child herself.
When it comes to delivery skills, few people in these streets can compare with her.
Moreover, Chen Xier's due date is one or two months later than hers, so they won't clash.
It is better to trust your own relatives than to trust others.
Xie Wan Ning felt that her identity should be kept secret, so she didn't bother looking for a midwife.
Unwilling to be treated as a child by her brother, she explained earnestly, and added: "The Li family treated me very well. I really owe a lot to their care during this period. Now that the young master of the Li family has run into trouble, brother, please keep an eye on him."
Xie Yanyu said: "Don't worry, since the case is in the hands of your cousin Ji, there will be no false or wrongful convictions."
The implication is that the evaluation of Ji Chengfeng is terribly high.
Xie Wan Ning came back to her senses from the excitement of brother and sister recognizing each other, and then she realized belatedly that her cousin was now the prefect of Bianzhou.
In this area, he is the local tyrant.
The last top scholar had only been in office for two years. His promotion speed was really...
The Khan was so short of talent. Unexpectedly, Xie Yanyu said, "It's just a temporary replacement. With your cousin's talent, he can't stay here. He will definitely become a prime minister in the future."
Xie Wan Ning was not too shocked.
After all, in his previous life, when Ji Chengfeng died, the emperor cried as if his own son had died.
If he wasn't truly a genius, how could a king be so sad?
Thinking of something, she held her chin with her hand and smiled foolishly: "No matter how long I can stay, as long as Cousin Ji is here, I will have someone in the government office and no longer be a helpless little widow."
She had also learned a few words of what the common people say over the past few months.
It's easier to get things done if you have people in the government office, and you don't have to worry about being bullied or something like that.
She was just saying it for fun, but poor Xie Yanyu, who was so worried about his sister, kept looking at it.
What is a helpless little widow?
He asked, "But who bullied you?"
The cold voice startled Xie Wan Ning, and she quickly shook her head: "No, no."
"The people of Bianzhou are very kind. There are no bullies who come to their homes to bully men and women. Although I am single, my neighbors are very kind and have never bullied me."
After Xie Yanyu carefully looked at her expression, he slowly let out a sigh of relief and said, "Your cousin Ji was assigned here temporarily. He may leave at any time. Sooner or later, the court will have to send a real official to take up the post."
Several names of people who might be entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty appeared in his mind. Finally, his brows furrowed more and more, and he shook his head decisively and said, "I don't trust anyone to be my brother. It's best for me to take care of you personally."
He was ready to submit a memorial and ask for permission from the emperor.
Xie Wan Ning refused: "Brother, you have so many ambitions, how can you be trapped in Bianzhou because of me!"
