The besties traveled through the book together, and the prince and general became abandoned husbands

Since they had decided to set off, Jiang Wumei did not let Xu Junjun delay. Before she could calm down, she pushed her back to the room to pack her luggage.

Moreover, he went to Mrs. Liu's house next door to borrow some help.

Mrs. Liu saw her coming with a big belly and went to meet her in fear.

After asking about the situation, he immediately asked the housekeeper to bring the best fighters in the house for Jiang Wumei to review.

Seeing that the people from Liu's house were well-mannered and looked honest, Jiang Wumei stood up, holding her waist, thanked them, and asked them to go back and pack their luggage and set off early tomorrow morning.

That night, the lights in both the Xu and Liu mansions remained on all night because of Xu Junjun's incident.

The next day, just as the sky was turning pale, Xu Junjun stood at the door of the Xu Mansion with a bag on her back.

There were seven fine horses parked at the gate of the mansion, all of which were arranged by Madam Liu last night. Seeing the two people bidding farewell to each other at the gate, she also wiped away her tears.

"Xu family boy, you can go back and serve your elders without worry. I'll take care of your wife, so you can rest assured.

From today on, I will move here and live with your wife. I will make sure that you return home to fulfill your filial duties and raise your wife and children to be plump and healthy."

Jiang Wumei took two steps forward to help Xu Junjun straighten her clothes and whispered:

"It's a long journey to the frontier, so you must take good care of yourself and don't worry about your family.

After the baby is born, I will write to you to let you know that he is safe.

Likewise, the first thing you should do when you arrive at the border is to send me a message to let me know the situation."

The two best friends had a strong bond like sisters. Xu Junjun held back her tears, muttered a deep "hmm," and gave Jiang Wumei's hand a firm squeeze, promising:

"Don't worry, I'll come back as quickly as possible after I see my grandmother."

As he spoke, Xu Junjun looked at Madam Liu and saluted her with a fist.

"Madam Liu, while I'm away from Yuncheng, I'd like to trouble you to help take care of Niao Niao."

"Hey, okay, no problem. Go ahead. The sooner you go, the sooner you'll be back."

Madam Liu nodded hurriedly, glanced at the servants behind her, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke:

"These people in my house are quite skilled. If you need anything on the way, just order them around."

Xu Junjun nodded, grabbed the bag tightly, turned around and walked quickly to the front of the horse.

After taking the reins, Xu Junjun jumped on the horse, took one last look at the people at the gate, kicked the horse's belly and left quickly.

As soon as she moved, the remaining six people mounted their horses, followed her, and disappeared from everyone's sight.

After Xu Junjun left Yuncheng, Mrs. Liu moved directly to the Xu Mansion.

In order to ensure a smooth delivery for Jiang Wumei, in addition to the two midwives that Jiang Wumei had originally found, she also hired two more midwives and two wet nurses to live in the house.

Jiang Wumei was a little confused. Looking at the neatly dressed wet nurse, she wanted Madam Liu to send her away.

This is her only child, and she plans to breastfeed the child herself.

Seeing Jiang Wumei's hesitation, Mrs. Liu hurriedly told her that women's breasts would sag after breastfeeding, and advised her not to breastfeed herself, and to maintain a slim and perfect figure to firmly tie her husband's heart.

Jiang Wumei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't insist on sending the person away.

She is not worried about her figure. At worst, she can do more exercise after weaning and get her figure back in shape.

She was worried that she didn't have enough milk and the little one would be hungry.

In a blink of an eye, Xu Junjun had been gone for seven or eight days.

During these seven or eight days, Jiang Wumei slept very soundly at night.

But she always had a feeling that whenever she fell asleep, there was always someone guarding her, massaging her waist and legs, helping her turn over in sleep, and taking care of her in every possible way.

After waking up, Jiang Wumei asked Qingzhi several times, and Qingzhi said that she had come to the room at night. Jiang Wumei didn't think much about it, and followed her daily schedule, waiting for the child to be born.

At this moment, the grass and trees at the border are withered and yellow, and the yellow sand is rolling.

Xu Junjun traveled for more than ten days before finally arriving at the border city.

There were still three days to go before reaching the city where Madam Huo was. Xu Junjun took off her water bag and took a sip. After wiping the water from her mouth, she said to the people behind her:

"It's getting dark. Let's hurry up and try to find a place to stay before dark."

The six people who came with her nodded one after another, their expressions so calm that they didn't look like ordinary people at all. Instead, they looked like guards who had received orthodox training, which attracted Xu Junjun's frequent sidelong glances.

But in the end, Xu Junjun didn't say anything else. He hung the water bag back around his waist, got on the horse and continued to move forward.

On the twelfth day after Xu Junjun left, Jiang Wumei had dinner and walked in the yard for half an hour. As soon as she returned to her room, washed up and lay down on the bed, she felt her stomach tighten, and then a warm current flowed down her thighs.

It was her first time giving birth, so no matter how calm Jiang Wumei was, she was a little nervous at the moment.

Reaching out and grabbing Qingzhi who was folding small clothes beside her, Jiang Wumei's face turned pale and she said in a steady voice:

"Qingzhi, go get the doctor and the midwife. I might be about to give birth."

Qingzhi looked at Jiang Wumei's bulging belly, and the small clothes in her hands fell down instantly. She nodded quickly and ran out with staggering steps:

"Someone, come quickly!

Madam is about to give birth, bring the doctor and midwife here quickly!!!"

Qingzhi was usually calm and reliable, and rarely lost her composure like this. When they heard her shouting, everyone in the mansion became anxious and rushed towards this yard.

Fortunately, we had made arrangements at the beginning. When we heard my wife start, those who were boiling water started to boil water, and those who were preparing scissors, basins and cloth also started to get busy.

There was order in the busyness and at least there was no trouble.

Madam Liu heard the noise and hurried over with her clothes on. Seeing that Jiang Wumei's skirt was wet in a large area, she hurriedly asked the maid to change her into a clean dress, waiting for the continuous contractions to come.

The doctor arrived quickly. He was a man in his forties. He put down his medicine box, took Jiang Wumei's pulse, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, you are in good health and the pregnancy is very stable. I will ask the family to prepare a bowl of ginseng soup. Please drink it before you become exhausted. It will help you maintain your energy and spirit."

"Thank you, doctor. However, I would like to trouble you to stay at the Xu Mansion for one night. Please wait until the young lady has given birth before you leave."

Madam Liu stood aside, wiped the sweat from Jiang Wumei's forehead, and turned to the doctor.

The doctor had come here on orders, and even if Madam Liu didn't speak now, he wouldn't dare leave.

He glanced at the nobleman lying on the bed, his face pale with pain. He didn't dare to look any longer and quickly bowed his head and saluted:

"You're welcome. I'll stay at your house tonight and wait until the young lady has a safe delivery before I leave."

The doctor picked up the medicine box and followed the maid out of the room. Another wave of pain came. Jiang Wumei grabbed Madam Liu's arm and said with difficulty:

"Thank you for your help tonight."

Madam Liu felt so distressed that she wiped the sweat off her forehead and said quickly:

"It's already this late, and you're still concerned about these empty formalities.

Save your energy, you're the one who's suffering the most tonight."

As she spoke, Madam Liu looked at Qingzhi, whose face was also pale, and said anxiously:

"In addition to the ginseng soup the doctor recommended, go and cook some easily digestible food to keep on hand, just in case your wife gets hungry during the birth."

"Oh, okay, I'll go right away."

Qingzhi nodded stiffly twice, then reacted and walked quickly towards the door.

When I stepped over the threshold, I tripped and almost fell.

As soon as the noise started at the Xu Mansion, the man in the neighboring mansion knew everything.

In the brightly lit house, a man stood in the yard, enduring the cold wind, his body motionless.

There were several shadows standing behind him, obviously they had just returned from Xu's house.
