"Ok."

Seeing Su Xi sighing in relief, Xia Qingqing finally felt relieved. However, she was also furious with the man. What a stinky man who could have made Su Xi so sad.

Next time I see him, I will definitely beat him up to vent my anger.

Just as she thought of this, she noticed Huo Yihan standing quietly not far away. Xia Qingqing stood up and asked, "When did you come out?"

"Just when you were talking about the young man..."

"haha……"

An awkward smile flashed across Xia Qingqing's face, and she immediately changed the subject, "Is your wound completely healed?"

Huo Yihan looked down at his shoulder and said, "Didn't you just have a checkup a few days ago?"

"Oh, haha," Xia Qingqing scratched her ear and said unnaturally, "It seems to be uh..."

Just when she was at a loss, Huo Yihan slowly walked over, lowered his head to look at Xia Qingqing's cheek, and said seriously: "I will be leaving in a few days."

"Hmm?" Xia Qingqing's cheeks gradually faded. She looked up at Huo Yihan and asked, "Where are you going?"

Huo Yihan was silent for a moment, then turned and walked to the side of the boat, looking out at the sea in the distance. In the end, he still didn't answer Xia Qingqing's question, and said, "I'll be thankful for your hard work at home."

In the end, he still had selfish motives. He originally came back not only to recuperate, but most importantly, he wanted to divorce Xia Qingqing.

But I didn't expect that something had changed in his heart.

He took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Xia Qingqing seriously. He opened his mouth, but in the end did not say the two words "wait for me".

After this farewell, he didn't know if he could escape unscathed.

Xia Qingqing nodded and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey and everything goes well."

"Lend your auspicious words."

The fishing boat drifted on the sea all night. In the early morning, the boat slowly approached the shore. Before getting off the boat, I saw Xiao Shunzi from the yamen running towards me.

Huo Yihan thought to himself that something was wrong. It seemed that County Magistrate Liang’s wife had trouble giving birth.

"Second Master! Help!"

Xiao Shunzi was extremely excited to see Huo Yihan coming back. He hurriedly tidied up his wind-torn hair and helped Huo Yihan get off the boat.

He didn't know why County Magistrate Liang asked him to come find Huo Yihan, but since it concerned his wife's life, County Magistrate Liang would definitely not just look for anyone.

"But what about your wife?" Huo Yihan asked.

"Yes, yes, yes. Madam has been trying for a day and a night, but the baby hasn't been born yet. Doctor Jiang Chen from Liangzhou City also gave her acupuncture, but it was of no use..."

"What? Jiang Chen's acupuncture method didn't work?" Xue Zhihuai was extremely surprised and quickly grabbed Xiao Shunzi's hand. "Is there any heavy bleeding?"

Xiao Shunzi glanced at the strange, thin old man, shook his head and said, "They said the fetal position couldn't be changed. I didn't have any bleeding symptoms when I came."

"take me!"

Xiao Shunzi saw the old man looking anxiously at Huo Yihan, who said, "This is Jiang Chen's master, Xue Zhihuai. Take him there."

"Great!"

Xiao Shunzi went to Liangzhou City but didn't see Doctor Xue. He didn't expect that he was here. Now his wife can definitely be saved!

"Divine Doctor Xue, please get on the carriage with me."

Xiao Shunzi helped Xue Zhihuai onto the carriage on the shore. Just as they were about to set off, they heard Xia Qingqing say, "Take me with you."

Xiao Shunzi was a little unhappy, but he didn't show it. He said, "Okay, please hurry up, Mrs. Huo."

It's already this late, and I don't know why Xia Qingqing is causing trouble. He can't just go through the paperwork anytime, why does he have to come now?

Didn't he just want to ride on the carriage he borrowed?

Xia Qingqing grabbed the backpack and quickly pulled Su Xi onto the carriage. She said to Huo Yihan, "Find a cart to take the tiger to the yamen. Thank you for your hard work."

After he finished speaking, he closed the curtain of the carriage. Xiao Shunzi shouted "Gee!" and the carriage set off quickly.

Huo Yihan was left shaking his head helplessly.

In Qinghe Town, in the backyard of the government office, Liang Qingshan stared at the door with a frown on his face. His heart felt as if it was broken.

"Ah! It hurts me so much!"

"Why is giving birth so painful? Can I not give birth?"

"Woooooooo..."

Xia Qingqing was a little surprised when she heard the voice of the county magistrate's wife as soon as she entered the courtyard. She had never expected the county magistrate's wife to be such a bold woman.

"Sir! Divine Doctor Xue is here! Divine Doctor Xue is here!"

As soon as Xiao Shunzi's voice came out, Liang Qingshan felt as if he was dreaming. He turned his head to look at Xue Zhihuai and immediately grabbed his arm: "Doctor Xue, please save my wife quickly. She is in pain, very painful..."

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Chen, who was in the house, heard his master's name and ran out in a hurry. With tears in his eyes, he knelt on the ground with a plop, hugged Xue Zhihuai's thighs and burst into tears.

"Master, Master, my acupuncture method is not working..."

"Wuwuwu... I feel so ashamed towards my master and my ancestors..."

Xia Qingqing's cheeks twitched when she saw this bizarre scene.

What kind of people are these?

"Go away and cry!" Xue Zhihuai kicked Jiang Chen aside and hurried into the house.

Everyone in the yard was quiet, except for Jiang Chen who was crying loudly in the corner. After being glared at by Xiao Shunzi, he began to sob softly.

She looked like a wronged young wife.

Inside the house, the magistrate's wife's cries gradually faded and died away. Xiao Shunzi said happily, "Sir, Doctor Xue is indeed worthy of his reputation. Madam and the baby in her belly will definitely be fine!"

Liang Qingshan's complexion finally looked better and he began to smile, but the smile soon stopped.

"Oh no! It's bleeding!"

The midwife in the room opened the door and came out, her hands stained with blood. She said to Liang Qingshan, "Sir, I'm afraid the lady can't hold on any longer."

"Is Divine Doctor Xue also unable to do anything?" Liang Qingshan's legs went weak, and his lips trembled as he asked desperately, "Huh?"

Xue Zhihuai also came out, his face full of regret, saying, "My Lord, the maternity nurse's fetus is not only in an abnormal position, but it's also too large. Despite the acupuncture, it still hasn't turned the baby around. Jiang Chen has tried his best..."

He didn't expect this fetus to be so troublesome. It seems that today he has to make a choice between two options.

"County Magistrate, please take a moment to consider whether to save the elder or the younger child?" The midwife beside him was extremely anxious and urged, "It's too late. I'm afraid there will be two deaths..."

"Can we save the baby here?" Su Xi said calmly while looking at the midwife.

Although the midwife was dissatisfied with Su Xi's tone, she knew that since they were in the courtyard, they must be the county magistrate's family, so she explained, "To save the big one, we need to use scissors... to cut it into pieces, then take it out, or use a hook to hook it out, and then we can save the big one."

"Just cut open the belly..."

Hearing this cruel method, Xia Qingqing was completely upset. On the other side, the person involved, County Magistrate Liang, collapsed and knelt on the ground, crying, "Save the emperor! Save the emperor!"
