Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"Yingjiu, are you there?"

"master."

"Among you one to nine, is there anyone who relies on brute force to gain an advantage?"

"Reply, Yingba is the one who can draw a bow weighing one thousand jin and lift a millstone weighing five hundred jin."

Xu Yixing recalled that Yingba was short and not very strong, and he never expected he had such ability.

"Okay, is he in Beijing now?"

"Here I am."

"Then go tell him to find a way to sneak into the bandit gang in the mountains near Kyoto, and ask Yingwu to teach him how to disguise himself so that he can look more fierce."

Even in such a peaceful capital, various bandits and robbers were not uncommon as long as they were outside the government's patrol area.

"Yes. Please tell me how far you want to go?"

"Well... at least become a small leader, and be able to talk to the boss, but don't be too ostentatious, let him know the limits."

Yingjiu understood that his master's plan was obviously to use the bandit gang to do some things in the future, so he knew the importance of it.

"Also, tell him that he only has one month. If he doesn't make it before the Mid-Autumn Festival, he doesn't have to come back."

If I can't take advantage of the situation to implement my plan by then, it will probably be too late.

"Yes, Yingba knows what to do, please rest assured, Master."

"Also, why didn't you come to save me when Ah Da dragged me away today? I told you not to avoid him in the future, but you still have to care about my life and death. If you do it again next time, I will send you to the military camp and never come back!"

Yingjiu didn't dare to refute, so he said yes and left.

Xu Yixing had her own considerations for choosing the trait of great strength. In fact, these shadow guards all have special skills, but some of them are too eye-catching, while others are too inconspicuous to kill in a short time.

For example, Shadow Five is really good at disguise, but what's the use of a master of disguise for bandits? Another example is Shadow Four. Once he makes a move, half of the mountaintop will be wiped out. They are not good candidates.

The only thing that is very attractive to those gangsters is his great strength. I believe that as long as Yingba shows off his skills, there will definitely be a boss who will take a fancy to him. And if something goes wrong, it will be easy to get away. This is really a wise thing to do!

After arranging the journey ahead, Xu Yixing could finally take a break. He still had to go see Grandma He the next day, so he had to conserve his energy.

Just as Si Wen said, Granny He was the most famous midwife in the capital, and she lived in the south of the city. Although she was in the south of the city, there were many families who asked her to deliver babies, and she was very popular. If I didn't inform her in advance, I might not be able to find her at the last minute.

Although Xu Yixing was already prepared, she couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the door that was the same size as her own: Is Grandma He's family so rich?

I thought she was just a slightly wealthy commoner, but I didn't expect her family to be even more wealthy than the government. My God, is it too late for me to learn midwifery now?

She only brought Si Wen and Ying Wu out today, and didn't make it too public. She also didn't want her father to know about this, so as not to hurt the relationship between father and daughter.

"Si Wen, is this Granny He's home?"

"Yes, her family is very famous. Everyone in the south of the city knows about it."

"Okay, go knock on the door."

Si Wen went forward politely, knocked on the door, explained his purpose, and was led in by the old woman.

"Madam, I am so sorry, my mistress is out delivering a baby today. Please wait a moment, she may be back soon."

Why is she called Madam? Xu Yixing specially made up an identity today, saying that she was pregnant and wanted to make an appointment with Grandma He in advance. The old servant was not surprised by such things. There were many wives who came to the mansion even though they were not pregnant. It was not a rare thing.

"Okay, thank you for your help. We'll wait here." The old servant served tea and left, leaving only Xu Yixing and the other two in the guest room without disturbing them.

"This Grandma He is really busy!" Xu Yixing stood up and looked around the room. Although it was not luxurious, it was definitely not cheap.

"That's right. Delivering a baby is hard work. Sometimes you have to stay in someone's home for several days and nights. If you encounter a dangerous situation, it will be even more difficult."

"Tsk, do you think we can wait for her today?"

"Well... maybe." Si Wen was unsure. If Granny He didn't come back for a while, this trip would be in vain.

Fortunately, Xu Yixing was lucky. He had waited for less than half an hour when the old servant came in and told him that the master had returned and would come to see him soon.

Xu Yixing was a little nervous. Firstly, she hadn't thought about how to start the conversation yet. Secondly, she lied about being pregnant today. What if she didn't understand anything during the conversation? Wouldn't that expose her secret?

But Granny He didn't give her too much time to get scared, and walked in from outside the yard. Xu Yixing took a look and found that the old lady didn't look like a 70-year-old at all. Her face was ruddy, her eyes were bright, and there was not a single white hair on her head.

"Madam, you are so polite. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality." Grandma He spoke with full energy and a steady voice, sounding more like a grown-up girl than Xu Yixing.

"Hello, Granny He. I've heard that you are the best midwife in Beijing. I'm very lucky to meet you today."

"I don't deserve it. What's your name, Madam?"

"My last name is Liu..."

"Mrs. Liu, I wonder which one of the family members wants to make an appointment to deliver a baby, and when is the estimated due date?"

"Um, that's me. The due date is probably, maybe nine months later..." As expected, this is really embarrassing! Xu Yixing groaned in his heart, damn it, I should have just mentioned a family member earlier.

Granny He looked at Xu Yixing's awkward expression, still smiling. "Madam, don't be shy. I have delivered at least eight hundred babies. We are all women, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Come, let me feel your pulse."

Take the pulse! Xu Yixing was completely panicked and hid his hands behind his back. Oh no, oh no, how could she take the pulse?

"Granny He! Actually, I'm not pregnant. I just want to talk to you about something else!"

"Oh~" Granny He was not surprised and continued, "Do you need medicine for sex or medicine for pregnancy?"

Ah? This old lady's business is too extensive...

"Neither. To be honest, I'm here today to ask about an old matter." Xu Yixing said hurriedly and looked at Grandma He's face. However, she didn't seem angry. She just drove her family away and closed the door.

"I understand. There have been many people who have wanted to ask me questions over the years. You don't have to panic. I will tell you everything I know."

Xu Yixing straightened his clothes, and in his heart he had already looked up to Granny He. She was indeed a professional. It was not without reason that she had been able to move among the nobles in Beijing over the years.
