Chapter 262

At the critical moment, it was Mrs. Ma who reacted quickly. She stomped her feet, ran out quickly and called a few midwives.

While running, she did not forget to ask the maids in the yard to boil hot water.

Soon, the courtyard, which had seemed a little deserted just now, became filled with chaotic footsteps.

Xie Wan Ning was sent to the delivery room.

She has been afraid of pain since she was a child. During the ten months of pregnancy, the child was well-behaved and she didn't notice it. But now that she was about to give birth, she realized belatedly that she was afraid.

As a person who has died once, she is inevitably afraid of death.

She was in pain and scared, and didn't even know Pei Yuqing had followed her into the delivery room.

It was the voices of Granny Ma and several midwives that woke her up, and she realized that she had been holding someone's sleeve.

She quickly let go and said in a trembling voice, "Get out, I'm about to give birth."

…You’re scared, I’m here with you.

The words rolled around on the tip of his tongue before being swallowed by Pei Yuqing.

He stared at her eyes that had turned red at some point, leaned over and kissed her forehead, "I'm right outside, don't be afraid."

"If you're scared, just yell my name."

"Late night..."

He probably said something else, but Xie Wan Ning really couldn't listen.

The pain was magnified exponentially, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she couldn't help groaning.

Seeing this, Pei Yuqing left even more worried.

Fortunately, there were five midwives ready, so even if he was standing there, it didn't affect the preparation process.

Just as the maids and old women took turns to persuade Pei Yuqing to go out, the brothers Xie Yanyu and Ji Chengfeng, who were out, also received the news from the mansion.

He immediately dropped what he was doing and hurried back.

Time was running out. Xie Yanyu, who had always disliked showing up in public, rode on a horse this time, and so did Ji Chengfeng.

The two handsome young men riding horses in the parade were truly a bright sight in the bleak autumn day.

But this kind of scenery stopped when we met a long team.

The person at the front of the team, wearing a deep blue riding uniform, sat astride a precious horse, with a stern look on his face. It was Ming Feng, the current crown prince's trusted confidant.

Xie Yanyu knows him.

Ji Chengfeng also knows him.

The two of them subconsciously looked at the carriage behind Mingfeng.

Who is sitting in the carriage that Mingfeng can guard?

It almost goes without saying.

...Lu Ziyan is here.

What did he know?
Are you here for Wanwan?

Just as the two of them were feeling confused, Mingfeng came closer on horseback.

He said, "Your Highness is on his way back to the capital and is passing through here. He wants to stay overnight at Lord Ji's residence. Since we have met, Lord Ji, please lead the way."

He made the decision without even asking for permission. He is as overbearing as ever.

However, a higher-ranking official can crush people to death, let alone the fact that the other person is the crown prince.

Ji Chengfeng suppressed the turmoil in his heart and cupped his hands, "Yes!"

At this time, in the carriage not far away, the curtain was lifted by a slender hand, revealing Lu Ziyan's cold and unruly face.

He first glanced at Xie Yanyu, and then looked at Ji Chengfeng who was standing beside him.

Only now did I suddenly remember that these two seemed to be cousins.

So, this short-lived guy is also Wanwan’s cousin.

It's understandable that I felt compassion.

...It's not necessarily that I noticed it.

The sourness that had been accumulating in my heart for several days finally dissipated a little.

Before lowering the curtain, he glanced at Ji Chengfeng again. Seeing that pretty boy with red lips and white teeth, and a good appearance for deceiving young girls, he became annoyed again.

Is it this face that makes Wanwan reluctant to let him die prematurely?

It must be, right?
