The next day, Tao Tao received many letters again.

She stopped reading the content because what was said in it made her so angry that she couldn't even eat.

Yiqing hasn't come back yet. He took a lot of people with him. The church has become much quieter and the tension outside has faded.

Tao Tao was reading another batch of letters in the house. Some doctors in the church were dismissed, so she asked Yiqing to issue a call for talents. Now many people have recommended themselves.

She had thought it all out. When the time comes, they would be divided into several groups according to their specialties, just like modern departments, where they would be consulted no matter what illness they had.

The surface is calm as water, but undercurrents are surging inside.

Fang Bai told Pang Ren the news he had heard. He half-closed his eyes for a while before he said, "Is the Third Hall Master Mu Jin approaching the due date?"

Fang Bai thought about it and nodded, "That's right. The only people of importance in the sect are the Third Hall Master and Miss Tao."

Pang Ren laughed. He hooked his finger, motioning Fang Bai to come closer, and told him in detail what he should do, word by word.

-

Nothing happened the whole day, but Tao Tao always felt uneasy.

As it was getting dark, she told Mo Yun to go to bed first as she still had to read some medical books.

Mo Yun just went out, and then ran back quickly. She almost fell down when she pushed the door open. Tao Tao stepped forward to support her and asked, "What happened?"

Mo Yun panted and said, "Madam, it's bad... The Third Lady is having a miscarriage and is about to give birth!"

"What?!" Tao Tao exclaimed and ran out immediately.

The weather is not good. In the past, it was still slightly bright at this time, but today, maybe it is going to rain, and it is already very dark.

Tao Tao ran all the way and called for help to find a doctor.

When she arrived at Mu Jin's yard, she heard her hoarse screams at the door.

Tao Tao went in and found that all the doctors in the church were standing outside, and the situation was almost in chaos.

"Who usually takes care of the third hall master?" Tao Tao asked.

A short and fat doctor stepped forward and said, "Madam, it's me."

Tao Tao couldn't care less, she shouted: "Okay, come over here and take the pulse and see what medicine the Third Hall Master needs."

The short and fat doctor went inside, but because it was inconvenient for men and women to do so, he just felt Mu Jin's pulse from the outside with a curtain in front of him.

Tao Tao ran in, held Mu Jin's hand, and said, "Aunt Mu, don't shout too loudly, you won't have the strength. Take a deep breath, don't be afraid, we are here."

Mu Jin is indeed a woman who has traveled the world. She quickly understood Tao Tao's meaning, put all her strength into her lower body, and breathed in rhythm with her.

Tao Tao gently let her go, ran outside, and shouted, "You, go get a clean towel and some water."

She pointed to the maid next to her and said, "Go and boil some water to prepare the medicine."

After a while, she looked towards the gate and asked, "Where's the medicine? Why haven't you brought it yet?"

The short and fat doctor's apprentice came running over and said, "Madam, we are out of some medicine!"

Tao Tao's eyes widened: "What? How is that possible!"

In preparation for Mu Jin's delivery, she specially sent people to fill up the pharmacy and also had the midwife move into the church a week in advance, just in case of any accidents.

Now Mu Jin suddenly had a miscarriage and the medicinal materials were gone. Was this a conspiracy? !

Without caring about anything else, Tao Tao quickly ordered: "A Shuo, hurry up and get the medicine back from outside!"

Tao Tao returned to the room and saw Mu Jin, who was lying on the delivery bed, looking relatively well and having the strength to push, but the baby was not coming out.

She wiped the sweat off her face with trembling hands, praying in her heart that Ah Shuo would be quick.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, take a deep breath, and push harder down there." Tao Tao rubbed her temples with her hands, trying to make her voice smooth and gentle.

She had no experience in delivering babies and could only rely on what she saw during her internship in the hospital.

Mu Jin was a martial artist with good physical fitness and stamina, but her pelvis was too narrow, making it difficult for the baby to come out.

"It's a long battle." Tao Tao thought to herself. She knew that some people had a hard time giving birth, and it took days and nights.

Everyone was busy here and no one noticed a figure entering Tao Tao's yard.

The pile of letters containing evidence of Pang Ren and others' crimes were placed in a box in the cabinet next to Tao Tao's bed.

The box was opened and the oil lamp that had been extinguished was lit.

With a puff, the fire suddenly ignited, and those confessions filled with injustice, crying and suffering were burned to pieces in the red, jumping flames. It didn't even stop, and the fire grew bigger, along with the tablecloth.

Ah Shuo brought the medicine, boiled it quickly and gave it to Mu Jin to drink.

In the hospital, everyone was coming and going in an orderly manner, some changing the water, some washing the towels.

After half a stick of incense——

Mu Jin didn't know where she got the strength from, and her tired face was now tinged with anger. She grabbed the quilt and followed the midwife's rhythm.

Finally, the melon was ripe and the loud baby voices spread throughout the yard.

Tao Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Jin collapsed on the bed, too tired to even have the energy to look after the baby.

After closing the windows in the house, Tao Tao called the maid beside Mu Jin and asked, "How did the Third Hall Master get pregnant?"

The maid said, "Madam, in the evening the master went for a walk in the garden and stepped on pebbles on the way back. It's strange because there were never pebbles on that road before."

Tao Tao gradually calmed down and kept analyzing the unexpected events that happened tonight in her mind.

The medicine was unexpectedly insufficient, and Sandang had a miscarriage. Someone must have done it! Tao Tao thought for sure.

What is the purpose? She shook her dizzy head, suddenly came to her senses, and ran outside, almost knocking down the maid who was carrying water.

She ran and shouted, "Ah Shuo! Ah Shuo! Come back to my yard and have a look!"

It started to drizzle outside, dripping on her uneasy heart.

Ah Shuo used Qinggong to reach the yard. A layer of red appeared in his light-colored pupils. He put his hand to his lips and whistled three times.

Instantly, people around started shouting that there was a fire and they picked up their buckets and ran towards Tao Tao's yard.

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood what had happened. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and she ran to the yard with gritted teeth.

Because it was raining and she was wearing slippers, she lost her balance and fell.

Mo Yun, who was following behind her, hurriedly helped her up.

Tao Tao wiped the water droplets off her face, ignored the mud on her body, and ran towards the yard like crazy.

The fire in the yard had been put out, and it was raining now, so the fire might not have been that big to begin with. Only the room where she slept was burned, and the dressing table and bed were burnt.

Tao Tao walked in panting, and Ah Shuo stepped forward to stop her, shouting, "Madam, it's very dangerous in there!"

Tao Tao pushed him away and rushed in. She tried to find the letter containing the evidence of the crime on the bedside table, but it had already turned to ashes.

Tao Tao suddenly knelt down on the ground, holding a handful of ashes in her hand, tears dripping on them.

"It's gone, it's gone. The confessions written by everyone." She cried bitterly. Mo Yun beside her tried to help her up, but Tao Tao was now extremely sad and her shoulders kept shaking.

She cried, "It's all my fault... I didn't hide it well. I should have let someone watch it. I really didn't think too much at the time. I was so scared that Aunt Mu would die. Now the confessions written by everyone are gone. I have failed everyone's expectations."

Mo Yun's eyes turned red because of her tone. She said, "Madam, this is not your fault."

She pointed to the oil lamp above: "It should be an oil lamp."

Tao Tao looked up, first exclaimed, then bit her lip, almost breaking it.

The sadness and anger in her heart surrounded her. She felt like she could hardly breathe, as if countless pairs of eyes were looking at her from behind, with disappointment and sorrow, and finally turned away, never to write down these confessions again.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."

Tao Tao cried with a trembling voice, her upper body bent down, almost touching her thighs.

A Shuo stepped forward and helped her up together with Mo Yun.

"Madam, don't be sad. There is something strange about this matter. We will investigate it thoroughly when the young master comes back." Ah Shuo said firmly, "I will never let the murderer off easily."

Tao Tao had no strength left and was almost entirely supported by two people. Her vision was blurry. Suddenly, a person appeared in her sight.

Pang Ren stood at the gate of the courtyard, looked around, and said with a mocking tone: "I have only been away for two days, and such a big thing has happened in the church?"
