After they looked at each other again, they told him the whole story.

Zhu said, "Originally, when we learned that the person we were asked to deliver was the county lady, we were very happy and willing. But the man in black came to us two days ago."

She recalled it in her mind.

"He threatened us with my grandson's safety lock and one of Zheng's daughter's earrings, saying he would kill both our families if we didn't do as he asked."

Zhu covered her face and started crying.

"We did this because we were worried about our families."

She is almost fifty.

I originally planned to work for another one or two years and then go home to enjoy my grandchildren. Who knew something like this would happen?

Xu Qingye had been observing the expressions of the two men and could tell that they were not lying.

"What are the characteristics of the man in black?"

"Characteristics..." Zheng thought carefully and looked up. "He had a mask on his face and was dressed in black. He looked ferocious and murderous. When he looked at people, his eyes were cold and murderous. I even vaguely saw the token on his waist that day, but I can't read, so I don't know what was written on it."

Xu Qingye looked aside.

"Gui Ping, go get some paper and pen."

"Yes."

Guiping quickly brought paper and pen.

Relying on his memory, Zheng used charcoal to draw a rough outline of the token.

Although the picture was incomplete, Xia Ning recognized it quickly.

"Master, this is the token of King Heng's guards!"

They look ferocious and evil, and when they look at people they look cold and murderous. That's because all the people in Prince Heng's Mansion came from fighting on the battlefield, and each of them has many lives on their hands.

Xu Qingye nodded, wrote down two charges in front of Zheng and Zhu, asked them to sign and seal them respectively, and then threw them out of the manor.

Xia Ning looked at the two indictments in his hands.

"Master, these two charges are not enough to bring down King Heng, right?"

"I know." Xu Qingye said calmly, as if he was talking about something extremely ordinary. "Take your time. Two copies are not enough. If you collect more, it will naturally be enough."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the yard.

……

Jiang and Xu Yongwang enjoyed being grandparents, and on the first night, they slept with the child.

Jiang was annoyed by Xu Yongwang's loud snoring and deep sleep, and was also worried that he would crush the child, so she forced him to sleep against the wall all night. When he woke up in the morning, his face was stuck at a right angle to the wall.

The news of Song Yuntang's birth was spread everywhere yesterday.

When Zhao came the next day, Song Yuntang's eyes had already been bandaged and applied with medicine by Doctor Zhou.

She looked at Song Yuntang with a smile.

I also felt relieved in my heart.

Born at this time and full-term, no one would doubt that Tang'er was not the son-in-law's.

"How long will it take for Tang'er's eyes to heal?"

Song Yuntang looked calm. "Doctor Zhou said it can be removed in half a month. After that, if you take good care of yourself, you will be completely healed in about two months."

"That's good." Zhao looked at her and said, "I didn't see any reaction when I came yesterday. I didn't expect you to give birth as soon as we left."

"Yes." Mrs. Liu also smiled and said, "Tang'er is so lucky. The first baby is a boy."

Song Yuntang didn't say anything.

Liu's ideas were deeply rooted. She had just given birth to a child, so he was too lazy to argue with her.

Jiang was holding the child and chatting with him.

"We didn't expect that Tang'er's stomach would suddenly start to hurt not long after you left yesterday. Luckily, she managed it well, and the delivery went smoothly. Look at her, even after giving birth, her figure is still as good as a girl's."

As for the unexpected events that happened along the way, Jiang didn't mention them in order to avoid worrying them since she couldn't help much.

Liu looked at Song Yuntang and felt very envious.

"Really? Tang'er has such a good idea. Why didn't you tell me before?" She touched her belly, which was piled with two circles of loose flesh. "Every time I touch my loose belly, I feel uncomfortable."

Song Yuntang leaned against the pillow and whispered, "I remember when we were in Rongshu Village, I mentioned to my sister-in-law about controlling her diet. I wonder if she listened at the time? Plus, you gave birth to two babies in a row, so naturally your belly is looser than mine."

Liu recalled it in her mind.

When Song Yuntang lived at home, every time he brought her cakes or preserved fruits, he would remind her not to eat too much.

I didn’t understand it at that time, so I didn’t care.

Thinking about it now, I regret it so much.

A mother needs to rest after giving birth.

Jiang was worried that staying here for too long would affect Song Yuntang's rest, so she led them outside.

Song Jinbao, Song Jinyuan and Song Jinsheng had already moved in the cradle, clothes and bedding they had prepared for their child.

"The cradle is ready. Let's let our nephew try it out." Song Jinsheng placed the cradle under the eaves, blocking the sun from shining overhead. "I'll go inside to check on Tang'er first."

Song Yuntang heard footsteps and raised the corners of his lips.

"Second brother is here."

Song Jinsheng came to the bedside and said, "Tang'er, you've worked hard."

Song Yuntang shook his head.

"Giving birth wasn't too painful, but it was a little regrettable because I couldn't see the baby's face when he was born."

Song Jinsheng comforted her.

"You'll be able to see in half a month, so there's no need to rush. Tang'er's own health is the most important thing right now. Only when you recover well will you have the energy to take care of your nephew."

Song Yuntang nodded.

"Has the marriage between Second Brother and Mu Qiu been finalized?"

"After you are out of confinement, we plan to do a simple wedding, and Mu Qiu also agreed." Song Jinsheng replied.

"Okay, I'll go to the capital with Xu Qingye after I finish my confinement. When the time comes, my second brother and Mu Qiu will help me with the shop. If there's anything you can't make up your mind about, just send me a message."

As she spoke, she took out a box from the bedside drawer.

"Before, the Huang family compensated my second brother with thirty taels. Ten taels were given to you, ten taels were given to Mu Qiu as a betrothal gift, and I invested the remaining ten taels in the Mingyue Tower shop in the county town on his behalf. I received a 10% dividend. The Mingyue Tower has been profitable over the past year or so, and the 10% dividend earned totaled 892 taels. I rounded up the total to 900 taels for my second brother."

Song Yuntang handed the box towards Song Jinsheng.

"Whether you give this money to mother or Mu Qiu is up to you, brother. But I hope you will consider Mu Qiu's situation more when making any decision in the future."

Song Jinsheng looked at the box in his hand and felt a little touched.

He had almost forgotten about the compensation the Huang family gave him, but he didn't expect that his sister not only remembered it, but also gave him such a huge fortune.

"Tang'er, I didn't do anything, and you gave me so much money, isn't that a bad idea?"

Song Yuntang smiled.

"You are my biological brother, what's wrong with me giving you silver? Besides, this silver was made from my second brother's money, not directly given to you by me."

She faced Song Jinsheng.

"I know that my second brother is a kind and generous person. If you have the money, you will definitely not let your family go poor. It is most appropriate for you to hand it over to my second brother."

The dividends from Mingyue Tower must be handed over to the second brother for the time being, but if the second brother cannot keep the wealth in the future, and still pays home a copper coin for every copper coin he earns, so that Mu Qiu will be alienated from him, she can also instruct Manager Miao to find someone to pay it in the future.

Hearing this, Song Jinsheng's face was full of emotion.

I don't know what had possessed me in the past, but I actually thought Zhao Zhao was kind and considerate.

Now when I think of the misunderstandings I said to Tang'er in the past, I just want to slap myself twice.
