“You…you’re saying I’m like a woman?” Di Ah-bao was truly incensed at this comment.

“What else do you think? Which man goes around swearing in public like a nagging old woman! It’s a complete disgrace to men!”

The medicine pageboy didn’t think he was wrong in what he said. After that, he looked Di Ah-bao up and down, a look of absolute disdain on his face.

“You, you! …”

Di Ah-bao pointed at the medicine pageboy, speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, he did seem… somewhat like a nagging old woman?

The medicine pageboy also glanced at Liu Sisi, his expression was filled with a great deal of frustration.

“You’re as pale as a ghost! If you don’t rest, don’t wait until morning, I’ll have to rescue another patient. Are you sure you still want to stay here?”

The medicine pageboy spoke without waiting for Liu Sisi to answer, then went into the inner room and closed the door.

A bitter smile spread across Liu Sisi’s face!

She understood that the medicine pageboy was speaking on her behalf, but she genuinely felt guilty towards Ms. Xin!

The rescue was ongoing, but Liu Sisi was really too tired, she went into the room where Di Xuan was recuperating, looked around, then leaned against the head of the bed and fell asleep.

It seemed like she hadn’t slept long before she heard Di Ah-bao’s voice outside, and Liu Sisi abruptly got up and went outside.

Old He had already come out from the inside and was instructing Di Ah-bao on what to watch for.

“…The bleeding has stopped for now, but the patient is weak, it is not appropriate to move her right now, just let the patient heal here. Also, remember to abstain from sex for a month, boil one pack of soup medicine three times to make one bowl, drink it three times a day. Remember to eat light and nourishing food…”

Old He went on and on, instructing about a bunch of things to be cautious about, and Di Ah-bao had a bitter face listening to it, somewhat confused.

He could only agree as he listened: “Yes, yes, yes…”

Old He also looked tired, having seen patients all day, he had been busy all night, and he was visibly exhausted now.

After giving all the instructions, he casually waved his hand and went to rest with the help of the medicine pageboy.

Di Ah-bao didn’t care about anything else and immediately turned around and went into the room to see Ms. Xin.

“Little Cui’er, Little Cui’er it’s me! I’m Ah Bao, Cui’er, quickly open your eyes and look at me…”

Looking at the deeply concerned Di Ah-bao, Liu Sisi stopped her steps from crossing the room’s threshold. She turned around and asked the also very tired Granny Hu.

“Granny Hu, how is my sister-in-law’s condition now?”

“Alas! It’s a pity, the child could not be saved, and it was a boy.”

Granny Hu looked around, making sure no one else was around, then pulled Liu Sisi to one side and whispered to her.

“Just now, I heard Old He and the medicine pageboy say that because Little Cui took too many contraceptives in her early years, it was not stable when she got pregnant. Now that there’s been a miscarriage, I’m afraid…she won’t be able to get pregnant again.”

“You… Are you serious?”

Liu Sisi gasped sharply, almost losing her footing and involuntarily touched her round belly.

The loss of a child was already an agonizing event for a woman.

Now, not only had Ms Xin lost a child, but she had also lost the opportunity to become a mother again…

All because of her!

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

If it wasn’t for saving her, Ms Xin wouldn’t have…

“Madam, what’s wrong with you? Are you too tired? Do you want to go back to your room and rest?”

Granny Hu curiously looked at her, what was going on with the Madam?

“I’m fine, you go get Le Ping to take care of Xuan’er, as for the sister-in-law, you can take care of her. You don’t have to worry about anything at home. As for what you just said, don’t tell Ms. Xin for now, I’m afraid…”

“Don’t worry, Madam! I know what to do, Madam Cui can’t be stimulated anymore.”

Granny Hu was not young, she naturally knew what was more important now.

“Alright then, have Ms. Gao prepare a rooster for us. Once the sister-in-law wakes up, we’ll eat.”

“Yes, Madam.”

After Nanny Hu leaves, Liu Sisi quietly goes to the door, gently nudging the partially open room door open slightly to peek inside.

Di Ah-bao is holding Ms. Xin’s hand and appearing to say something.

His face is full of smiles, giving explanations with accompanying hand gestures, seemingly unaware that Ms. Xin has lost her unborn child.

Liu Sisi quietly sighed, closing the door and leaving the inner room.

The old woman who helps in the clinic has come to clean. Upon seeing Liu Sisi, she quickly bows in respect. Liu Sisi then exchanges a few polite words with her then discreetly slips her some copper coins and asks her to help take care of Ms. Xin before she returns home.

She still has many important matters to handle!

The sky is gradually getting brighter!

Outside the county government office.

After an unsettled night, the scene in front of the government office gate looks like aftermath of a disaster.

The ground is littered with all kinds of debris. Unclear stains are everywhere, and the county jail is filled to the brim with people, filled with sighs and grievance.

County Magistrate Su’s anxiety is almost wearing out the floor as he paces back and forth.

He barely slept last night.

Transpiring events have kept him awake. Where has that idiot Zhang Shixin disappeared to? How are his affairs getting on?

“Why hasn’t that bastard Xin Quan come yet? Someone! Go hurry! Quickly, go!”

County Magistrate Su’s angry shout leaves a lone governmental runner, who hurriedly leaps up without any hesitation and practically collides with the person coming in from outside.

“Your Honor! Your Honor, good news! Your Honor!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The newcomer doesn’t pay attention to the unexpected ghost in front of him, rushing into the back hall.

Good news is welcome! The best thing County Magistrate Su wants to hear at the moment is good news!

He suppresses his tumultuous feelings and sits down on a chair.

“What’s the good news? Speak!”

“Gongzhou has sent news again! The messenger is outside the county government gate, the person is Tan Hong, a confidant of the Garrison Commander of Gongzhou, bringing the Garrison Commander’s official letter!”

This indeed is good news!

County Magistrate Su stands up from his chair in high spirits, laughing heartily after a while: “Good! It truly is good news! Quickly, invite the messenger in!”

“Yes!”

The governmental runner hastily bows.

“Wait!”

County Magistrate Su suddenly changes his mind: “No, no, no! It would be better for me, the official, to personally greet him. Quickly, fetch my official robe!”

It’s an opportunity he will take advantage of now that Xin Quan is not around; he wants to see what the Garrison Commander’s specific instructions are.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Yes, Old Master.”

The governmental runner hastily agrees.

Leaving aside how County Magistrate Su entertained Tan Hong, let’s just focus on the residence where Liu Sisi temporarily resides in the small town. Early in the morning, several uninvited guests have arrived.

As the saying goes, good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide!

Di Yelei’s case caused a very bad impact yesterday. The whole county town was in chaos, the government runners and constables everywhere, arresting people.

This matter spread rapidly, as if it had grown wings.
