"A woman can marry and take away a girl, but a man must stay." Shui Qingyan nodded her head, "Zhu Mingyi's surname is Zhu, Mrs. Bian is also surnamed Zhu, Zhu Mingyi calls Zhu Mingyi big sister."

Shui Qingyan thought for a while and said: "If Shopkeeper Yin knew from the beginning that Mrs. Bian's brother was the leader of the eighteen strongholds, and he wanted to borrow Zhu Mingyi's blade, he would have a good reason."

"Marry the Mrs. Bian as a wife." Qing Mei blurted out.

"That's right." Shui Qingyan nodded, "This manager is going to check it out carefully."

"I'll go check on Qingmei now." Qing Mei said immediately.

Shui Qingyan shook her head. "There's no rush, we still need to go to the Eighteen Stronghold tonight.

Qingmei shook her head. "Qingmei isn't tired."

"Humans are made of flesh and blood. If you weren't tired, would I believe you?" Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked at Qing Mei.

Qing Mei pursed her lips. She had been in the Zhuge family for more than ten years, but no one had ever asked her if she was tired.

Peony Court.

Zhang Jing entered the door while smiling.

Aunt Wang was sitting by the table, drinking tea. The depressed look on her face had yet to completely disappear.

Hearing the footsteps, Aunt Wang did not even raise her eyes, "Is the old master not coming anymore?"

Zhang Jing entered the door to see that the Aunt Wang's expression wasn't good, and said those words again. His heart immediately felt guilty, because he had been distracted and ignored the Aunt Wang for the past two days.

Aunt Wang sensed that something was amiss, she raised her eyes and the next thing she saw was Zhang Jing's smiling face.

"Old master!" Aunt Wang suddenly stood up.

"Xueqing." Zhang Jing walked up and lovingly pinched Aunt Wang's nose, "The things that happened these two days were extremely complicated, you wouldn't be angry because I didn't come to see you, right?"

Wang Xueqing did not expect Zhang Jing to be so gentle to her, and her eyes reddened for a moment: "Old master still remembers Xueqing."

Zhang Jing immediately understood that Aunt Wang was definitely jealous. He embraced Aunt Wang in his arms and said, "Dong Li Yard is my advisor, don't be jealous because of her. Zhang Mansion can't tolerate her.

Aunt Wang was shocked. She had never stopped Zhang Jing from hiring any strategists, nor could she think of any things that Zhang Jing needed strategists for. Did something really happen?

Thinking, Aunt Wang said: "It's good that old master has Xueqing in his heart. Old master has been busy recently, so he should pay more attention to his body."

"It's alright, it's almost over." As Zhang Jing said that, he broke into a big smile, "The worry in my heart is almost gone, this time I want everyone to have a whole new level of respect for me."

Aunt Wang raised her head from Zhang Jing's embrace: "Other than big sister's things that big sister needs to worry about, other than that big sister's things, could it be that Shui’s Marion has allowed big sister to follow big master back?"

When Zhang Jing heard the Aunt Wang mention Shui Qingcheng, a trace of unease flashed across his face, and he then let go of the Aunt Wang. "This matter right now, is much more important than Shui Qingcheng."

Aunt Wang's heart jumped: "Master's meaning is about the government."

Zhang Jing patted Aunt Wang's head, "Don't think too much into it for the next few days. Just treat our son well, I'm going out for a day or two. I won't be back tomorrow, so I'll definitely be back the day after tomorrow."

"Once this is done, when Shui Qingcheng comes back, I don't need to go to her courtyard every day to find fault with his." Saying that, Zhang Jing's eyes flashed with helplessness and relief.

After the Aunt Wang heard this, her heart jumped, "Is the old master in danger?"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Zhang Jing laughed and said goodbye to the Aunt Wang, "I will go out to take care of some matters first, you stay at home."

After saying that, Zhang Jing turned and left without looking back.

Aunt Wang chased after Zhang Jing for two steps, and only returned to his seat after seeing him leave the courtyard.

Senior Servant An saw that the Aunt Wang's expression was not good, she walked up and said: "Aunt, the old master is doing it, why are you frowning too?"

"Judging from the tone of the old master, it seems to be a huge affair. What if something happens to the old master?" Aunt Wang said as she looked at Senior Servant An, "I would rather Old Master be like this, doing nothing at all and be safe."

Senior Servant An laughed upon hearing this: "Aunt is always joking, a man must be able to support himself. How can he stay at home all day, even if he is very rich, he shouldn't stay home and eat for free every day."

The Aunt Wang shook her head, "Life is the most important thing. If Master loses his life, wouldn't I have to spend the rest of my life guarding?"

The Senior Servant An sighed, "Esteemed wangfei, the master has no children, and there are no relatives in the house. Right now, there is only this one child in the aunt's stomach, as long as the aunt gives birth, the Zhang Mansion would belong to the aunt.

Aunt Wang listened and nodded, "Yes mother is right." As they spoke, Aunt Wang stroked her stomach in happiness.

In the evening.

Under the Broken Mountain, rows and rows of soldiers were sneakily rushing up the mountain.

At this moment, a horse came galloping out of the eighteen strongholds.

It was a man dressed in grey, with spirited eyes, a few small stubble on his face and a man in his thirties. This person was the one who was going to invite the doctor.

The intersection of the eighteen strongholds and the Ma Ji Town Road.

"My daughter-in-law, hurry up!" With a sound of grey cloth, Shui Qingyan bent down with her back, her chin plastered with a goatee, and holding onto a walking stick, she hurriedly walked towards the direction of the capital with her wife, Yu Niang.

The eighteen strongholds galloped past Shui Qingyan and the Yu Niang.

"Miss, are those people from the Eighteen Stronghold?" Yu Niang asked in a low voice.

"That's right." Shui Qingyan nodded.

Yu Niang was puzzled: "Why isn't he stopping?"

"He probably didn't react in time." Shui Qingyan laughed, "Don't worry, even if he doesn't turn his head, there will still be someone who will think of a way to make him turn his head."

Yu Niang nodded as if she understood something: "Oh."

After a while, the Yu Niang said again, "Miss, didn't you say that we would be kidnapped by the people from the 18 tribes together? Why is there only one person coming out of the 18 tribes?

"It's fine, that person saw that the Yu Niang was more beautiful and would definitely kidnap the Yu Niang first." Shui Qingyan laughed.

"Miss is full of nonsense." The Yu Niang saw that Shui Qingyan was speaking in a disrespectful tone, and glared at him.

Sure enough, the horse came back.

"Are you a doctor?" The man waved his whip and roared at Shui Qingyan.

"My lord, we are the doctors who travel by foot. We are on our way back to the capital tonight. No, we don't need to ask about the pulse." Shui Qingyan waved her hand, and then bowed as she continued walking.

The man suddenly dismounted, grabbed the medicine box from the Yu Niang's hands, and threw Shui Qingyan onto the horse.

"Who are you, who are you? Let her go! What are you trying to do!" The Yu Niang saw that the plan was different from what Shui Qingyan had said, she immediately grabbed onto the arm of the man from the Eighteen Stronghold, and was not willing to let go, "Doctor's health is not good, what are you trying to do?!"

" "Yo, you little woman. Although you're a bit old, you can still make it." The man touched his chin.

Yu Niang was shocked, she immediately loosened her clothes and retreated a few steps: "I, I'll tell you, quickly release my family's Xiao, my family's doctor, if not, I will inform the officials to arrest you."

Seeing that Yu Niang was still holding onto his sleeve, she suddenly rushed forward and pushed Yu Niang to the front: "There's something wrong."

After saying that, he jumped onto his horse and left.

Yu Niang was dumbfounded. "Didn't the plan say that we were all kidnapped together? Why only took the young lady away. "

Immediately, Shui Qingyan felt the wound on her back splitting open again, causing him to gasp again.

"Stop right there! Let go of the little miss, stop right there!" Yu Niang crazily chased from behind as she had a bad feeling again. She felt that something was going to happen to Miss this time.

Shui Qingyan's hearing was good, she heard it clearly, and sighed.

She had predicted that the eighteen villages would send someone to invite a doctor, so she decided to meet them here by chance.

However, the people in the 18 Barracks weren't idiots. When they needed a doctor, they would meet one on the way. They would definitely be suspicious, so she had to find someone to relax the people in the 18 Barracks.

That person must be Yu Niang.

Shui Qingyan asked herself sincerely because she knew about Yu Niang's concern for Shui Qingyan. When Yu Niang saw that Shui Qingyan had been kidnapped, she was definitely worried about Shui Qingyan's injuries.

She would definitely reveal her boundless worry for Shui Qingyan. When the people of the Eighteen Stronghold saw the Yu Niang's performance, it was very easy for them to let down their guard.

Shui Qingyan would only be able to perfectly execute her plan after gaining the trust of the people from the eighteen strongholds.

"Aiyo, those old bones of mine, where are you bringing me to?" Shui Qingyan's voice was hoarse and ancient because he had also used medicine.

"Listen up, I'm taking you to the 18 cities!" The man laughed.

"Ah, that's the bandit's nest!" Shui Qingyan screamed in fear.

The man laughed even more happily. "Damn old man, it is your honor to be able to treat my eldest sister-in-law's illness. I'll tell you this: if my elder sister-in-law lost her baby, don't even think about keeping your life!"

Shui Qingyan immediately said: "Ah, Amitabha, I hope that your eldest sister-in-law can endure until the old man arrives. Although the old man is a man, he mainly relies on this to survive."

"Do you really rely on this to eat?" That person was overjoyed.

Shui Qingyan repeatedly said, "Aiya, how could I possibly deceive you? Today, I am going to deliver a new baby to the Ma Ji Town."

"How could I lie to you? I have given birth to anything that is difficult to bear." Shui Qingyan imitated the old man's emphasis.

"Sister-in-law isn't having a difficult time. I'm here to catch a doctor to prepare for Sister-in-law." "I didn't expect that I would catch a little old doctor who knew how to deliver babies."

"Is that so? Look at the speed at which you are whipping the horse. That place seems like you want to grab me and bring me back to prepare. It's simply going back to save lives." Shui Qingyan said, and moaned weakly: "Aiyo, I'm dead."

That person laughed heartily towards the sky. "Hahaha, I'm just excited. After ten years, my elder sister-in-law finally agreed to marry my elder brother. Now that we have another child, I'm very excited."
