Transmigrated into a seven-year-old child, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens.

Liu Mansion

bang bang bang...

Therefore, open the door! Open the door!

There was a knock on the door.

Who's that so late at night?

Uncle Hong had just taken off his clothes and lay down on the bed when he heard a knock on the door. He frowned and quickly got out of bed.

As soon as I opened the door, a gust of cold wind blew in, and I couldn't help but shiver. I quickly turned around and put on a coat before coming out.

"Who is it?"

Uncle Hong asked through the door.

"Sir, please open the door. I am a maid from the Song family. I have important business with your young lady."

"The Song residence?"

Uncle Hong was stunned for a moment before realizing it was Admiral Song, and quickly opened the door.

The person who came was Hongju. Because she was in a hurry to come out, she forgot to put on a coat, and her nose was red from the cold in the middle of the night.

"Miss, it's cold outside, come in quickly!" Knowing that the other party was a maid from the governor's mansion, Uncle Hong's expression softened slightly.

This Admiral Song is the Third Miss's brother-in-law, so the maid must have something urgent to do by coming over so late at night.

"Where is your young lady? I'm looking for your young lady. Something has happened to our mistress!" Hongju said anxiously as she went inside.

Hearing that the Admiral's wife was in trouble, Uncle Hong dared not delay in the slightest. He quickly sent Huang Ma with Hongju to find Zhaolian.

Zhao Lian was currently in her room calculating the restaurant's revenue. She had been very busy lately; with winter approaching, she had introduced many new dishes, and the restaurant's business was booming.

After a rough calculation, the daily turnover was close to 800 taels of silver. After deducting costs and labor, the net profit was nearly 600 taels of silver, which was much more profitable than when he ran a restaurant in Changting County.

Zhao Lian leaned back in her chair with satisfaction. She was now a very wealthy woman, having previously owned nearly ten thousand taels of silver in Changting County.

During the drought, I only had some cash on me; the rest was in banknotes. Later, when I was fleeing, I found that the bank had closed down.

I thought these banknotes would become worthless, but fortunately, Tonghe Bank had branches in many places, and the one in the capital was the main branch.

Although these banknotes were all usable, for safety reasons, Zhao Lian specifically exchanged some of them for silver when she opened the restaurant.

She counted them, and the banknotes and silver totaled more than 13,000 taels.

Now he has a house, hundreds of acres of fertile land, and more than 1 taels of silver in savings. He is only 15 years old. He is truly a winner in life!

In my past life, I dreamed of having a car, a house, and savings, but I was far from that back then.

I never imagined that after transmigrating here, I would reach a level I could never have imagined before, at just over 10 years old. It's like a dream.

"Knock knock knock~"

"Little sister, are you asleep?" Zhao Di's voice rang out from outside.

"Not yet, come in!"

Zhao Di pushed the door open and came in.

Since getting married, Zhao Di has become more beautiful. She used to look carefree and tomboyish, but now she has become more feminine.

"Second sister, you look much better than before. It seems my brother-in-law has been spoiling you a lot." Zhao Lian couldn't help but tease Zhao Di when she saw her.

"Go~"

Zhao Di blushed and slapped Zhao Lian: "You little brat, you have no shame."

Zhao Lian looked completely innocent: "I didn't say anything, Second Sister, what are you thinking?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lian turned the tables on her again. Zhao Di was furious but still laughed: "Alright, I won't banter with you anymore. Let's not talk about me. Let's talk about you. How have things been between you and the Emperor lately?"

Zhao Lian pouted: "I have nothing to do with him!"

"Didn't he say he wanted to marry you? You said you'd marry him when you turned 16."

"Second sister, you actually believe that? There are three thousand beauties in the imperial harem, why would they take a fancy to a little girl like me? Only you would believe that!" Suddenly, Zhao Lian's mood inexplicably dropped.

That damned emperor even said he wanted to marry her, but he hasn't been seen since returning to the palace.

"Sister, I heard from An Ye that things have been chaotic in the palace lately; it seems some thieves have infiltrated."

Zhao Di knew there were some things An Ye hadn't dared to tell her, because she was afraid of making herself worry.

He hasn't been home for several days, saying he wanted to stay by the Emperor's side to protect him. I wonder how he is doing now.

"Hehe~ It seems quite a few people want that emperor's life."

"Oh well, let's not talk about him anymore. Anyway, he has nothing to do with me, and his death is none of my business."

It's November now, and the New Year is almost here. I had said that I would marry the Emperor after I turned 16.

But she hadn't seen the Emperor during this time, so he probably had completely forgotten about her.

Although Zhao Lian appeared to be gloating, she seemed to feel uneasy inside, though she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Just as Zhao Di was about to say something, Huang Ma's voice came from outside the door: "Third Miss, the Song family has sent someone over."

Zhao Di and Zhao Lian exchanged a glance. Why would the Song family send someone over so late at night? Could it be that something happened to their eldest sister?

The two of them quickly stood up.

As soon as the door opened, Zhao Di recognized her at a glance as Hongju from her eldest sister's residence.

Whether from the cold or fear, she was trembling all over. Zhao Di quickly asked, "Hongju, what brings you here? Has something happened to eldest sister?"

Upon seeing Zhaolian and Zhaodi, Hongju burst into tears: "Third Miss, something has happened to our mistress." As she spoke, Hongju began to sob.

Zhao Di stamped her foot: "Oh dear, this is really worrying! What happened? Tell me!"

"Don't rush, tell me slowly!" Zhao Di comforted her.

Aunt Huang brought over a cup of hot tea. Hongju took a sip, warmed her hands with the hot tea, and her body gradually stopped trembling.

"Second Miss, Third Miss, you two should go and check on Madam immediately. Madam is having a difficult childbirth."

"What?"

The two of them were immediately shocked and stood up.

"Let's go, let's hurry over there!" Upon hearing that Zhao Feng was having a difficult childbirth, Zhao Di immediately lost her composure.

Wait a minute~

Zhao Lian went back to her room to get some things, and then everyone went out together.

Hearing that Zhao Feng was having a difficult childbirth, Yan Guihua was also very anxious and said she wanted to go with her.

Zhao Lian pressed her down: "Grandmother, please don't cause trouble. Just stay at home and let my second sister and I go over."

Sun Shangxiang stepped forward: "I'll go too!"

Zhao Lian shook her head: "It's no use you going. Just stay home and wait for my news."

These are already chaotic times; their presence would only cause more trouble. They'd be better off staying home.

"Okay, then be careful on the road."

……

Song Mansion

"Oh dear, what should we do?" Midwife Hu panicked. Time was ticking away, the cervix wasn't fully dilated, and the young mistress said she wanted to sleep.

If this is delayed any longer, the child inside will be in danger.

This was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she didn't know how to handle it for a moment.

"Young Madam, wake up!" Su Ma kept patting Zhao Feng's face, but Zhao Feng's eyes remained closed.

"Midwife, you have to think of something!" Su Ma was so anxious she was about to cry.

The midwife, Ms. Hu, told the truth: "This is the first time I've encountered such a situation."

Judging from her expression, she didn't know how to handle it. Su Ma was so angry that she cursed, "You call yourself a top midwife? What a waste of that title! If anything happens to our young mistress, you'll pay with your life!"

Su Ma was extremely anxious. The young master wasn't home, and if anything happened to him, she would be held fully responsible.
