Huo Yunchao came out with an empty bowl. Butcher Xu stepped forward to greet him and asked with concern: "Chao'er, Ning Niang is awake? Has she eaten all?"

"Well, Ning Niang ate everything." Huo Yunchao looked proud.

Butcher Xu patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, then I'm relieved. Chao'er, I'm thinking of going to your Uncle Liu tomorrow to find out where is a suitable place to build the Hou Mansion."

"Okay, Uncle Liu is very knowledgeable. He knows better than the two of us what is suitable."

Huo Yunchao didn't object. He thought for a moment and said, "Dad Xu, please bring a thank you gift to Uncle Liu. Without Uncle Liu to help bridge the gap, ordinary people like us would not be able to deal with County Magistrate Chen. Uncle Liu is the elder brother of our family." Noble man!"

Butcher Xu loved hearing this and smiled so much that his eyes became a line: "A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Chao'er, if you can think of this, Father Xu's heart is very warm. When Uncle Liu heard this, he designated He would pat his thigh and say, hey, I was wrong back then!"

"Pfft-"

Huo Yunchao was amused by this truth: "Dad Xu, if Uncle Liu really said that, please don't laugh at him, Dad. You only need to reply, if it weren't for Uncle Liu's recommendation, I would still be reading and writing articles from dawn to dusk, just to earn money." He has the reputation of being a scholar."

Butcher Xu started laughing as he spoke: "Okay, I'll reply to him like this when the time comes. Your Uncle Liu must have said that the sun has risen from the west, but I didn't laugh at him! Haha."

Huo Yunchao was amused by his father Xu's childish reaction.

Weng and son-in-law were chatting and laughing happily, and there was no tension at all during Xu Ning's delivery.

The doctor girl breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Qiu Yun: "It's sunny after the rain."

Qiuyun subconsciously touched the non-existent sweat on his forehead

, she told the doctor: "Thankfully, Madam, you survived, otherwise... I wouldn't even dare to think about it."

The doctor girl was convinced and bowed in the direction of the saint: "It must be His Majesty's great kindness that has protected my wife and helped her escape from death."

Qiuyun bowed in the same manner: Thank you for your blessing! Thank you Your Majesty for the reward! Thanks to the old man for the five taels of silver!

She was grateful from the bottom of her heart for Emperor Yong'an's extraordinary reward to Huo Yunchao. She and Zhou Changxing were only twenty-five taels of silver away from regaining their freedom!

When Huo Yunchao bought Qiuyun and his wife, they made an agreement that as long as Qiuyun and his wife could earn thirty taels of redemption money, the deed of sale would be returned to them and they would be free.

At that time, whether the couple will stay in the Xu family and continue to serve, or find another place, Huo Yunchao will let them do it and will not force it.

Qiu Yun and Zhou Changxing thought they would be slaves to Huo Yunchao for the rest of their lives, but how could they have imagined that Huo Yunchao would set such a low ransom for them?

Thirty taels of silver. Qiu Yun knew that Huo Yunchao bought the couple and spent twenty taels of silver including handling fees and so on!

Qiu Yun couldn't believe that she would meet such a kind boss like Huo Yunchao!

After Huo Yunchao received the exceptional reward from Emperor Yong'an, his money bag bulged and he decided to observe Zhou Changxing and Qiu Yun for another year or two to see if they could pass his test. If they passed the test, he would let them stay with him. If they failed, they would stay with him. He gave them the deed of betrayal and sent them away.

As for the medical girl and dead waiter sent by County Magistrate Chen, they should leave with Magistrate Chen.

The three secret guards specially sent by Emperor Yong'an will become Huo Yunchao's super-protective bodyguards for the Marquis of Ping'an.

Dart to protect him and his family's personal safety.

It took half a month for Huo Yunchao to finally get over the huge impact of the two major events of becoming a marquis and becoming a father. His mind regained its clarity and he began to think about the way forward.

Just when Huo Yunchao had put his wife and daughter to sleep and was about to go into the house to write his plan, Zheng Shaoxuan ran over with a groan: "Brother Huo, hurry up! Let the doctor girl come to my house! Your sister Xiaocao is going to give birth!"

Huo Yunchao's face turned pale immediately. He raised his eyes and saw Zheng Shaoxuan who was even more flustered than him. He pinched his palms and tried his best to calm down. He arranged for the medical girl to take care of Lin Xiaocao, and he also told her: "In case of unexpected events, take care of Lin Xiaocao with you." Take the life-saving pill."

The doctor girl nodded heavily: "Master, please don't worry."

"Huo Di, don't go there. Don't tell your godfather when he comes back later. When your sister Xiaocao gives birth to our child safely, I will come over to announce the good news."

Zheng Shaoxuan knew how much Xu Ning's difficult childbirth had stimulated Xu Tuhu and Huo Yunchao, and he did not want them to be frightened again.

Huo Yunchao nodded: "Okay."

He promised Zheng Shaoxuan, then turned to Qiu Yun and told Qiu Yun: "Qiu Yun, send the clothes and blankets made by my wife to Sister Xiaocao. By the way, do you still have the ingredients for the medicinal soup that the doctor asked you to make to replenish qi and blood?" If you have any, take them with you and help Sister Xiaocao take care of them when you get to Zheng's house."

Qiu Yun firmly remembered Huo Yunchao's instructions, packed up all the necessary items, and hurried to Zheng's house with a bamboo basket on his back.

Huo Yunchao then ordered Zhou Changxing: "Changxing, go to the medical clinic and invite the doctor to the Zheng family to sit in charge! Drive the carriage and go back as soon as possible!"

Xu Ning came out dressed neatly: "Ms. sir, Sister Xiaocao is about to give birth."

? ”

Huo Yunchao noticed that Xu Ning's eyebrows were knitted into a ball, and he gently stroked the corners of her eyebrows with his rough, dry fingertips, and comforted her softly: "Well, my brother-in-law ran over in a hurry, and I asked the doctor and Qiu Yun to take care of her. I also asked Changxing to ask for a doctor, so don’t worry. Sister Xiaocao is strong and will be fine."

"Ah."

Xu Ning promised well, but how could she not be worried?

Xu Ning was someone who had experienced difficult childbirth. She had been caught in the rain and wondered if she could hold an umbrella for someone else. What's more, that person was none other than her sister.

Lin Xiaocao is not only her father's adopted daughter, but also fills Xu Ning's childhood wish for a sister. She is a very important family member to Xu Ning.

Huo Yunchao was also worried. Lin Xiaocao was sincere to them, and they had already become a close family.

"Ning Niang, how about this? You take care of Fu Bao at home, and I go to the Zheng family to take care of him? Will I come back and tell you the good news?"

Xu Ning shook his head and refused, saying insincerely: "No, no need. A woman cannot give birth for an hour or two. My husband, you are just waiting at Zheng's house, so you should stay at home. You can also read to me and Fubao. It’s better than waiting there.”

In fact, Xu Ning was worried that Huo Yunchao would be hurt by the scene, and would drag him back to the gloomy moments and scenes on the day she gave birth.

She never told Huo Yunchao, who talked in his sleep at night, crying and begging God to bless her and Fu Bao. She felt terribly distressed, but she couldn't tell Huo Yunchao.

Because Huo Yunchao never showed a trace of vulnerability when facing her and Fu Bao. He wanted to be an upright husband and father so much that she couldn't bear it.

The heart breaks the illusion he worked so hard to create.

The illusion, as long as it lasts long enough, will one day come true.

Half an hour later, Zhou Changxing hurriedly came to report: "Master! Mrs. Zheng has given birth! She gave birth to a big fat boy! He weighs five pounds and seven taels!"
