Shu He was lying in the carriage, Jiang Yuan was sitting beside her, and on her left sat Shu He's stepmother, Mrs. Wang, holding a newborn baby girl in her arms.

Qu Ying was also there, looking at the cute baby girl who was sleeping soundly with her little pouty mouth.

"This child is so small." Qu Ying couldn't help but say.

Mrs. Wang looked at the child distressedly, then looked at Shu He, and couldn't help but sigh, "She has suffered so much. If my sister saw this, I'm afraid she would be heartbroken."

Shuhe's stepmother, Wang, was originally her aunt and the younger sister of her biological mother. Her mother died of illness in her early years, and when she was seriously ill, this biological sister stayed at Yu Mansion to accompany her and took care of her two young children.

Three years after her mother passed away, Lord Yu remarried his younger sister-in-law. Later, Wang gave birth to a younger son, Shuhe's younger brother, who is now studying at Cangwu Academy.

She didn't have a daughter, but she took care of Shu He since she was a child. They were blood relatives, so she loved her like a daughter.

As she spoke, Mrs. Wang started to cry and quietly blamed herself, "When we made the engagement, I should have helped the child find his wife.

I never thought that this would lead to a dangerous situation. My child has now walked through the gates of hell. When I go to hell in the future, I will be too ashamed to see my sister. "

Qu Ying patted Mrs. Wang's arm and said, "Madam, please don't be like this. You can't object to the marriage being granted.

But now that something like this has happened, Shu He absolutely cannot return to the Fang family. I'm afraid they will have to divorce."

Madam Wang raised her head and said firmly, "Let's get a divorce. Our Yu family can still support our daughter and granddaughter. As long as Shu He is fine, I will accompany her and go back to my grandparents' home and never come back."

Jiang Yuan didn't say anything along the way, just listened. At this point, his prejudice against the Yu family had eased a little.

Ever since the last incident, the Yu family had been completely silent on the matter, and Jiang Yuan was very unhappy. Old Madam Yu, the old Grand Tutor, Lord Yu, and Madam Yu all sounded like they loved Shu He very much.

But last time, no one stood up for Shu He, which made Jiang Yuan doubt the extent of this friendship.

Today, Old Master Yu, who had not been out for a long time, came to the Fang family in person. After hearing what Madam Yu said, Jiang Yuan finally believed it a little.

"Where is Lord Yu?" I didn't see Lord Yu today, so he must be not in the capital.

Madam Yu replied, "The master left Beijing six days ago to attend to official business. He said he would be back in about ten days. I have sent someone to inform him, but even if he returns in time, it will take a day or two.

Miss Jiang, thank you so much today, and Ah Ying, if you hadn't barged in, we wouldn't have known that Shu He had already stepped into the underworld. "

Qu Ying's face was not looking good either. Thinking back to the beginning, her face turned even paler. She looked at Jiang Yuan with a wronged look, "When I think about it now, I'm scared.

If Shuhe hadn't said she wanted to eat spicy stewed fish, if I hadn't happened to deliver it to her, if you, Yuan, hadn't taught me some boxing and kicking moves, I'm afraid I would have been stopped outside.

I will go again after I find someone to help me. I don’t know what will happen yet. My heart is still pounding.” Qu Ying clapped his hands on his chin as he spoke.

In short, what happened today was that Shu He was not destined to die. If Jiang Yuan and Qu Jin had not arrived in time, even if the child was born safely, Shu He would have died of hemorrhage.

When Jiang Yuan saw the dying look of the concubine in the yard, he knew that this matter was not that simple. If he wanted to pull the concubine out from Madam Fang's arms, he would have to use some tricks.

The two of them discussed it, and Qu Jin went to mobilize the troops and used her identity to invite Doctor Zhang from the palace.

Yu Xingchuan just happened to bring the old Grand Tutor here, which was a perfect coincidence for them. If the old Grand Tutor hadn't been there, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

To put it bluntly, this is still the Yu family's business. If no one from the Yu family steps forward, they will have no legitimate reason to act, and they will probably be held responsible for the crime afterwards.

Jiang Yuan has been unsure of the Yu family's attitude and has always been thinking of a head-on approach.

Now that Old Master Yu has come forward, things will be much easier from now on.

Inside the capital, the gates of a mansion were surrounded by soldiers wearing armor and holding weapons. The people were speculating whether something had happened. Was this family in trouble? Were their property going to be raided?

Soon after, a lady and a child were carried out from the mansion. All of them had heavy expressions on their faces. The people around recognized that the pale-faced person in Jiang Yuan's arms was the young lady of the family.

In addition, Shuhe's screams could still be faintly heard at the back door even across the yard.

Some people said, "I saw it before. The young lady of the general's mansion was pregnant and just came out, holding a child..."

"She just gave birth and she's been carried out so soon. Where are you going? Aren't you going to stay at home and recuperate after giving birth?"

"It's so late now, it's already pitch black, and she left right after giving birth. Something must have happened."

"Don't talk nonsense, having a baby is a happy event."

"What nonsense! The young lady who is pregnant in this family is not favored at all. Have you forgotten that when this young lady was pregnant, she was pregnant for a while. In the first three months, she was kept in her parents' home."

"Yes, and there was also the commotion in the street two months ago. The concubine argued with the wife for material in public and was slapped in the face. Have you forgotten?"

There are many wealthy families in the capital, and there is also a lot of gossip, so rumors will be replaced by new gossip after a while.

For a long time, Jiang Yuan was the subject of gossip among the people of Beijing. Now, anyone who remembers him or mentions him will be laughed at. The information was too blocked. In modern terms, it was like 2G internet speed.

However, just because gossip is in the past doesn’t mean it’s forgotten.

When they arrived at Yu's house, Jiang Yuan carried Shu He all the way and walked very steadily without shaking Shu He. They passed through the large front yard of the Yu mansion and walked along the long corridor. It took them twenty minutes to walk from the front gate to Shu He's yard.

Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, his face did not turn red, and he did not breathe heavily. He remained steady until he gently placed her on the bed. Shu He did not wake up from then on.

The maid in the mansion brought hot water and a clean towel and carefully cleaned Shuhe again.

Mrs. Wang had already found a wet nurse half a month ago. She knew from the beginning that Shu He was pregnant with a daughter, and she was worried that the Fang family would neglect the child, so she prepared a wet nurse early on.

The wet nurse took the child away to feed him and lived in the courtyard next to Shuhe's room.

Mrs. Wang ordered the servants to move her things to the side room, and she wanted to look after Shuhe.

Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying did not leave either, and stayed by Shu He's window.

After Ningxiu settled Shuhe, she went to prepare some food for Jiang Yuan and Qu Ying. Jiang Yuan hadn't eaten since noon until now, which was already midnight. He was so nervous that he didn't notice it before, but now he really felt hungry.
