The door creaked open, and Su Xi slowly walked out, saying to Liang Qingshan, "Mother and child are safe."

Although her tone was still cold, the corners of her mouth showed a rare upward curve.

"Wow...that's...great..." Liang Qingshan not only couldn't speak clearly, but he couldn't even walk when he entered the house.

He fell several times in the few steps before he finally got into the house.

"Oh my God!" Jiang Chen suddenly yelled, startling the rest of the group. "Master, who are these two girls? They're even more powerful than Master!"

Xue Zhihuai took several deep breaths before suppressing the anger in his heart. He said coldly, "If you keep making noise, get out of here and go back to Kyoto!"

Jiang Chen's face trembled, and he quickly covered his mouth with his hands, not daring to speak anymore.

No matter what, he doesn't want to go back!

As soon as Huo Yihan entered the backyard of the yamen, he saw a strange scene.

The two midwives were supporting each other limply, their hands still stained with blood; Xiao Shunzi was even lying on a big tree branch crying; Su Xi sat on the stone bench in the yard with one hand supporting his cheek, revealing a strange smile from time to time.

The most normal ones are Xue Zhihuai and Jiang Chen.

"Mr. Xue."

As soon as Huo Yihan's voice came out, the so-called normal Jiang Chen immediately widened his eyes, covered his mouth and ran in front of him, looking at him like a monkey, jumping up and down, and making puzzled sounds in his mouth.

But I just didn't dare take my hand away.

"Master, you married a good wife. She and Miss Suxi have accomplished something that even my needlework couldn't do."

In just one day, Xue Zhihuai had praised Xia Qingqing several times in front of Huo Yihan. He really liked this courageous girl and believed that she was worthy of the man in front of him.

Jiang Chen's eyes widened even more. He turned to look at Xue Zhihuai and sobbed, then turned to look at Huo Yihan and sobbed.

But no one paid any attention to him.

"Thank you." Huo Yihan accepted the compliment naturally, as if it was a compliment to himself.

Xue Zhihuai smiled and said, "Master, we'll take our leave now."

Xiao Shunzi, who was sitting on the tree, witnessed everything and his mind went blank. Even Doctor Xue was so respectful to Huo Yihan and even addressed him as "Master"!

How big of an identity is this?

What’s even more troublesome is that he also offended Xia Qingqing, who saved their wife. She is the wife of the second master of the Huo family.

My head hurts even more when I think about this.

"Lord Liang, please stay," Xia Qingqing opened the door and walked out. Liang Qingshan followed behind enthusiastically, like a little follower, careful and cautious.

"I will come again tomorrow to change the dressing for Madam. Please remember the precautions I just gave you."

"Yes, yes. I remember it all."

Liang Qingshan still had tears on his face, but he couldn't suppress the joy on his face.

Seeing Xia Qingqing, Xiao Shunzi started to move and climbed down from the big tree.

But he was not good at climbing trees and fell down accidentally.

Paji.

Everyone looked over and saw Xiao Shunzi standing up despite the pain. He forced an ugly smile and said respectfully to Xia Qingqing, "Miss Qingqing, I am sorry for offending you just now. Please don't bother with someone like me."

After saying this, he bowed to each of them.

"No problem."

Xia Qingqing waved her hand casually, her eyes already fixed on Huo Yihan who was standing in the yard, without noticing that the corners of her mouth were already stretched into a grin.

She immediately trotted forward and asked happily, "Did you bring the things?"

"I'm already outside the door," Huo Yihan's tone softened, and even his eyes changed a little.

"Miss Qingqing, please stay." Seeing Xia Qingqing about to leave with the backpack, Liang Qingshan immediately stepped forward and took out a emerald green jade pendant from his arms. He said, "Miss, you saved my wife and children and have done a great favor to my Liang family. However, I don't have any valuables to offer. I only have this worthless ancestral jade pendant. Please..."

Xia Qingqing raised her hand and pushed it back, saying, "No need. Leave this jade pendant to the young master."

"However, I still want to say one more thing," Xia Qingqing looked at Liang Qingshan seriously and said, "I know that Lord Liang is a good official who devotes all his thoughts to the people and spends all his monthly salary on others. You and your wife are frugal, but this is not a long-term solution..."

"Let me be frank. Your salary won't help many ordinary people. It would be better to use it on the Madam and the Young Master, especially the Madam..."

The county magistrate's wife was the thinnest person Xia Qingqing had ever seen since she arrived here. Her face was sallow and she looked malnourished. Furthermore, she was thinner due to the weight of her pregnancy and the child's absorption of nutrients.

Liang Qingshan's face turned red after being told that. He felt extremely ashamed and lowered his head and started crying.

Su Xi, who was standing by, quickly covered her ears to block out the crying sound, and even picked up the backpack and ran away in disgust.

"Qingqing, go ahead and do your work. I have something to discuss with the county magistrate."

After hearing Huo Yihan's words, Xia Qingqing left without looking back. How many times has County Magistrate Liang cried today?

Did she speak too harshly?

But the truth is hard to hear. Instead of wasting time on developing some industries, it would be better to make the people rich. This is the right way to go.

As soon as I walked out of the yamen gate, I saw a cart parked next to the gate. It was covered with a layer of rags, covering the tiger completely.

"Su Xi, wait for me here on the cart." Xia Qingqing took out a bag of roasted dried shrimp from her space and handed it to Su Xi, saying, "Don't run away!"

Su Xi took the oil-paper package, nodded heavily, and began to eat it.

Mr. Gu, the lawyer in the yamen, had already made preparations, so the procedures were handled quickly, within a cup of tea.

After leaving the yamen and asking for the address of Mr. Ouyang's house, Xia Qingqing pulled the cart and set off with Su Xi.

The Ouyang family is the richest family in Qinghe Town. Their businesses include ceramics, tea, rouge, etc.

Their business spreads throughout the entire Liangzhou City. It is said that they have relatives serving as officials in the court in Kyoto, and they are very powerful.

Mr. Ouyang's real name was Ouyang Yuanxiu. His wife, Liu, was gentle and charming. They had only one son, Ouyang Hua.

It is said that Ouyang Huasheng is handsome and has a beautiful face, which makes many girls in the town yearn for him.

However, Ouyang Hua is also very picky. He is already 20 years old, but his marriage has not been settled yet, which makes the elders in the Ouyang family very worried.

Especially the old lady who is nearly eighty years old. She arranges matchmakers to bring girls to her house every day, hoping that her grandson will fall in love with one of them so that she can see her great-grandson earlier.

As soon as the two arrived at the gate of the Ouyang family mansion, they saw several beautiful carriages with many young girls getting off. They were all led into the mansion by servants.

"Old Wu, don't let any beggars come to the gate of our Ouyang Mansion. Get rid of them now!"

A shrill voice rushed into Xia Qingqing's ears. She looked up and saw that it was her 'brother' Xia Mu, who else could it be!
