Thank goodness, Leng Lingfeng, who always loved to wander around, was able to stay peacefully in the inn today, enjoying a tub bath. Lu Mingyang hurriedly pulled Leng Lingfeng, who was shyly getting dressed, to the residence of the Marquis of Zhongxin.

The two men walked into the residence of Marquis Zhongxin, and the courtyard was full of people.

The old lady who kept yelling at her grandson not to get into trouble, Aunt Sun who kept making trouble, and the doctor who came out of the house.

"If the baby can't be born due to a difficult birth, do you want to save the older one or the younger one?"

"Of course, to protect my grandson." The old lady shouted.

Aunt Sun pretended to cry, "Doctor, you must save my sister."

Lu Mingyang waved away everyone and dragged Leng Lingfeng in.

Just now, the doctor was feeling the patient's pulse through a screen, and the midwife was describing the pregnant woman's fetal position. But now, Lu Mingyang pulled him directly to the bed.

"Hey, you are a stranger, how can you enter my sister's room." Aunt Sun then went to pull Leng Lingfeng, preventing him from taking her pulse normally.

Lu Mingyang was anxious and guilty, and had no place to vent his anger, so he slapped Aunt Sun in the face.

The sound was loud.

Except for Leng Lingfeng who was quietly taking the pulse, everyone was shocked.

Aunt Sun sat crookedly on the ground, touching her swollen face, crying with her eyes wide open, "How dare you hit me?"

Lu Mingyang angrily said, "If you want to act, go find Chen Hong. No one here wants to see you act. If anything happens to my elder sister today, I'll kill you!"

Perhaps the murderous look in her eyes was too obvious, Aunt Sun was so shocked that she didn't dare to speak, and let the maid help her out.

Leng Lingfeng finished taking the pulse and stood up. "The baby is slightly tilted, but it's not a big deal. I can straighten it out. It's just that she's too weak to give birth. Let me check the medicine she usually takes to preserve the pregnancy."

"Here!" Zhu Xin hurriedly handed over the prescription.

Leng Lingfeng wrote a new recipe and instructed, "It's too late to boil it. Grind it into powder, dissolve it in boiling water, and simmer for another half a quarter of an hour. Be quick."

"it is good!"

Lu Mingyang picked up the prescription and was about to prepare it. Zhu Xin took the prescription from her and said, "Fourth Miss, you stay with the eldest lady. I'll go make the medicine."

She suddenly felt that the fourth lady was more reassuring here than herself.

Lu Mingyang did not refuse.

Leng Lingfeng took out a silver needle and asked the midwife, "Who among you knows how to perform acupuncture?"

The three midwives all shook their heads. It was not impossible for them to do it, but since this was the Countess, no one dared to take the responsibility.

Leng Lingfeng looked at the maid in the room.

"You don't know how?" Lu Mingyang pushed him to sit on the edge of the bed.

Leng Lingfeng's butt felt hot, "I'm a man!"

"What's wrong with being a man? I don't need you to be responsible for my elder sister. Hurry up, give me as much silver as you want."

"It's not a matter of money!" It's just that those acupoints are too special. There is not only the Tanzhong point, but also the Rugen point.

"Why are you such a grown man like you?" Lu Mingyang slapped him on the shoulder and made a bold promise: "If you lose your livelihood, I will support you for the rest of your life."

Leng Lingfeng looked at the girl in front of him, his Adam's apple moving. He hurriedly looked away, looking at the semi-conscious Lu Mingyuan, "Madam, I'm sorry."

Half an hour later, the baby's cry filled the room.

Chen Hong, the loyal and trustworthy officer of Changshui, arrived late. The old lady was so happy holding the child that she couldn't stop smiling. Aunt Sun snuggled in Chen Hong's arms, crying and complaining about Lu Mingyang's torture of her.

But Chen Hong now was obviously not in the mood to pay attention to her.

Seeing the gaze that had never been directed at her before, Aunt Sun set her sights on Leng Lingfeng and told him everything he had done, adding fuel to the fire.

Chen Hong had just returned from the North Camp, still armed with a knife. He drew it out angrily and pointed it at Leng Lingfeng.

"I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Lu Mingyang stood in front of Leng Lingfeng and looked at his brother-in-law whom he had just met. He was a respectable man, but now, his face was filled with anger, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"Brother-in-law, you came in and didn't ask about my elder sister's health. You didn't ask about the reason. Instead, you turned around and drew your sword against your lifesaver. How can that be justified?"

"He was the first to be rude to my wife!"

"What is disrespectful? Between life and death, life is the greatest courtesy."

Lu Mingyang stood in front of the blade and asked coldly, "What do you regard my elder sister as? Your possession? Your pride? A pet that you can summon and dismiss at will? I'm telling you, my elder sister's life or death is not yours to decide."

Chen Hong angrily said, "It's you, a lewd and shameless woman, who has caused A Yuan to be in this state, and you still have the nerve to question me."

Although the Empress Dowager falsely testified to Lu Mingyang's innocence, the story of the Clear Water Pond was known to all officials and families in the capital. It was the price of her survival, and it would follow her for the rest of her life.

Leng Lingfeng looked down at the girl standing in front of him. Her shoulders were shaking, but her frail body was still protecting him tightly.

Just speechless.

He grasped the woman's wrist and pulled her behind him, sprinkling a handful of powder. It was a cartilage powder he had specially prepared for self-defense, a substance he had never used before.

Chen Hong's knife fell to the ground, and his whole body felt sore and weak. He leaned against the half-moon table in front of the window to avoid falling to the ground in disgrace.

"It is not inappropriate for Lord Zhongxin to speak like this." Leng Lingfeng pulled the woman behind him away.

Lu Mingyang raised his head to force back the tears in his eyes, let go of Leng Lingfeng's hand, and walked in front of Chen Hong.

"My eldest sister gave birth today, and the three midwives who attended unexpectedly developed diarrhea, causing all the axles of the carriages in the palace to break. If you invite the Jingzhao Yin to come, I would like to ask the Earl of Loyalty and Trust, if you can't even manage the affairs of the harem, how can you be loyal to His Majesty?"

Chen Hong gritted his teeth, "How dare you threaten me?"

Lu Mingyang suppressed his anger loudly: "I am asking my brother-in-law to seek justice for my elder sister. What do you mean by this? Or are you the one who is..."

"Brother-in-law, please don't blame me for your words, Fourth Aunt." Chen Hong interrupted hurriedly, his tone softening. "I will definitely give my wife justice."

"Okay, I'll wait."

Seeing that the midwife and maid were still in the room, Lu Mingyang leaned over to Chen Hong's ear and reminded him, "Even a centipede is still alive after death. Please be careful and trustworthy."

Lu Mingyuan fell asleep on the bed. Lu Mingyang glanced at him and silently left with Leng Lingfeng. No one was here to welcome her, and no one was there to see her off.

Leng Lingfeng looked at the quiet girl beside him, feeling an inexplicable pain in his heart. In his eyes, she had always been bright and free, like the April breeze. But now, she looked like a withered lotus in autumn.

"Hey, I'll take you to see the mountains, okay?"

Lu Mingyang turned his head blankly.

"Then go see the water, the forest, and the sunset..."

Perhaps the voice was too gentle, Lu Mingyang threw himself into the tall and thin arms and burst into tears.

"I almost killed someone today."

Leng Lingfeng raised his hand and patted the girl in his arms. Gradually, his slender hand protected the girl's waist.

I won't let anything happen to you.
