Chapter 64: People From Pingtung
The villager turned his face to Yuan Qiu subconsciously, asked with his eyes, but did not answer.
The middle-aged man is obviously winky, and with just this look, he knows that the person he is looking for must be this beautiful girl in front of him, so he immediately jumped off the carriage, walked quickly to Yuan Qiu, and walked towards Yuan Qiu. Yuan Qiu clasped his fists and bowed: "Miss Xia, I'm here from Pingtung. By order of the county magistrate, I specially invite Miss Xia to go to the government office."
Xia Tieniu was one, and his heart immediately blossomed with joy. He thought to himself, could it be that this dead girl did something bad, and the county magistrate came to her door. Thinking of this, he immediately became excited, and before Yuan Qiu could answer, he turned towards the middle-aged man. Said: "Master, could it be that this girl has committed something? You don't have to be polite, if you commit something, you can take her away now, we will never stop you."
The middle-aged man frowned slightly, glared at Xia Tieniu, and said displeasedly: "Miss Xia is our master's distinguished guest, what nonsense are you talking about here? Still not backing down!"
Don't look at Xia Tieniu who is usually arrogant, but in front of this powerful middle-aged man, he is as obedient as a chick, and when asked to back down, he immediately backed away a few steps, his ears But still standing upright, wanting to hear clearly.
"I don't know why Mr. Chen is looking for a civilian girl?" Xia Yuanqiu asked the middle-aged man.
"To tell you the truth, Miss Xia, Madam was pregnant in October, and she was supposed to give birth yesterday, but she was in pain all day long before giving birth. The midwife said it was a dystocia, and only one of her size could be saved. My lord thought of Miss Xia's amazing medical skills a few days ago, so I ordered you to come before me." Come and ask the girl to come to the house and save the lives of the wife and the child."
The fetal gas was moved yesterday, and it has not been born today. If it is delayed, it will be bad.
"Has the amniotic fluid broken?" Yuan Qiu asked anxiously.
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, then shook his head: "No, I asked the midwife when I was going out next time, and she said not yet."
It will be ready before the amniotic fluid breaks, Yuan Qiu nodded without any hesitation, and said: "Get in the car first and wait, I will come after a few words."
The middle-aged man was overjoyed. He thanked him and returned to the carriage. In order to save time, he asked the driver to turn around first.
Yuan Qiu pulled Yuan Hao aside, and said in a low voice: "Hao'er, my sister comes here whenever she goes, there are so many people here, you have to stay and watch, I have already given Liu Si the big guy's wages, and he will distribute them tomorrow. If I don't come back, you can take some broken silver from this purse and ask Aunt Zhang to weigh it to Liu Si for you." She stuffed a purse containing a lot of broken silver into Yuan Hao's hand.
"Also, you will send the Bisanxi you picked today to Jufulou with Uncle Zhang tomorrow. No matter how much money Boss Xu gives you, you will accept it and keep it well. Don't just show your wealth to others. It's going to get you into trouble."
Yuan Hao nodded heavily: "I know it all, don't worry, sister, you come back earlier."
Yuan Qiu confessed a few more words to Liu Si, then left quickly, and drove away in a carriage.
The middle-aged man deliberately lowered his voice all the time, except for Yuan Hao who was standing beside him, even Xia Tieniu, who had been eavesdropping, didn't know what they were muttering.
"Yuan Hao, why did your sister leave with someone? Will she come back?" Seeing that Yuan Hao was about to leave, Xia Tieniu stopped him.
Yuan Hao said with a dark face: "My sister just went out to do some errands, so of course she will come back. Didn't you hear that just now? Master Chen, the magistrate of Pingtung County, invited my sister to be a guest in the mansion. She is just a guest, so she will come back naturally."
"Did she really commit a crime and be taken away?"
