Ye Liangsheng had just finished checking the pulses of all the guards and was about to go to the back alley to take a rest when he was stopped again and rushed to the backyard.

Ye Liangsheng's tone was very urgent when he saw the visitor, full of questions.

"I just checked Mr. Dong's pulse at noon. There won't be a birthday within three to five days!"

The maid who led the way walked very fast, and Ye Liangsheng followed the maid. As he walked, he couldn't help but guess, but he was surprised or bumped into someone.

When Ye Liangsheng arrived, Mrs. Dong had already moved to the soft couch and leaned on Xiao Qingshan with a somewhat unhappy expression.

"Mrs. Xiao's mood is a little excited, which may affect the fetal gas, but it's not serious!"

"But... Mrs. Xiao needs to keep a calm mind!"

Xiao Qingshan was relieved when he heard that his wife's stomach was fine, and asked Mingjia to see Mr. Ye off for him.

Mingjia escorted Mr. Ye to the side door. Ye Liangsheng thought about it and told Mingjia something.

"The Chinese New Year will be in five or six days. Judging from the pulse, Mrs. Xiao's start date is about the same. It's too early to prepare, so don't panic!"

"Tomorrow, I will ask Chuanwu to go back and bring me some clothes, and I will stay here for the New Year!"

Ming Jia was touched by Mr. Ye's kindness, took half a step back and bowed to salute Mr. Ye.

"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for reminding me! I'll arrange everything when I get back!"

Ye Liangsheng knew that Dong's previous two births were not smooth. Although her pulse was stable this time, she was still worried.

"Hmph! Don't just say thank you! You have to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner at the house in the back alley!"

"It's natural!"

Mingjia immediately agreed loudly. Mingjia smiled so hard that she couldn't even see her eyebrows. All the happy things on today's birthday were brought by Mr. Ye.

When Mingjia returned to the main courtyard, Mrs. Dong had already fallen into a deep sleep.

"Your mother just said she was sorry for not spending your birthday with you!"

Xiao Qingshan waved Mingjia out and took Mingjia to the side room. The father and daughter chatted face to face for the third time today.

"It's okay, I don't care if it's your birthday or not! I just feel that the table that my mother has prepared so hard has been wasted!"

"Dad, it's all your fault! My acting skills were so bad that my mother discovered it!"

"Also, dad, why are you making excuses? You have to talk about the caravan. Isn't this adding chaos?"

Xiao Qingshan...Okay! He did go a bit too far.

Xiao Qingshan completely underestimated Dong's emotional changes, but fortunately nothing happened.

"How's it going with Shen Qi?"

Xiao Qingshan has calmed down now and is in the mood to think about other things.

"Mr. Ye said it's nothing serious. However, Uncle Shen Qi's injuries are a little strange!"

Xiao Qingshan looked at the sky and saw that the sun had set and all the government offices should have gone down.

"You take care of your house, and I'll go to Meng Tongpan's yard to find out about the cases of gangsters outside the city!"

Previously, in order to clarify the relationship between the Xiao family and this matter, Xiao Qingshan had never intervened in this case, especially after the "silencing" incident.

However, he told Yang Zhizhou today that he wanted to inquire more. Xiao Qingshan did not want the Xiao family, especially Ming Jia, to be involved in this case.

"Dad, by the way, you can inquire about the temperament of the third elder!"

Mingjia is now a little worried that the third elder will have any bad intentions and affect the reputation of Yanniang or Qumu Atu.

After taking Xiao Qingshan away, Mingjia directly called all the people serving in the main courtyard together.

In the main courtyard, there are now two personal ladies, two eldest maids, two second-class maids, and one maid and wife each.

Mingjia looked at the women and maids standing in the yard, and made a mental calculation that among women with the same fate, Mrs. Dong's configuration was already considered the best match.

Although Granny Yan and Xia Lian were prepared for the newborn child, they are now also servants of the main courtyard.

"Grandma Shui, please bring someone to check the delivery room every day to see if there is anything missing."

"Grandma Yan, take Xia Lian with you and personally inspect all the children's small clothes, blankets and other personal belongings."

"The midwife lives in the cross-yard next door, and Dr. Ye's house is in the back alley. From today on, we must be very energetic!"

"My mistress gave birth safely, and I will be rewarded heavily by this young master! If anyone is careless and causes trouble, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan looked at each other in the air, and led the other servants to bow.

"promise!"

Mingjia waved for everyone to get out, and he stood in the courtyard of the main courtyard, quietly watching the afterglow of the sunset dissipate little by little.

Ming Jia suddenly felt his shoulders sink. He turned around and saw that Mrs. Yan had put a thick cloak on her.

"Grandma Yan, I'm fine!"

"Miss, I have also prepared a birthday gift for you. I hope you like it!"

Granny Yan's voice was soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing Mingjia's meditation, and she seemed afraid that people would hear her call to Mingjia, "Miss."

Mingjia saw that Granny Yan had embroidered a handkerchief for her, and Mingjia quickly took the handkerchief.

It's an indigo-colored veil commonly used by men. On one corner of the veil is embroidered... It's my brother and her!

To be precise, in the old house in Qingzhou, her brother Mingjun sat on the stone mill with her and looked up at the night sky.

Granny Yan was an excellent embroiderer. The indigo handkerchief was skillfully used as a starry sky. With just a few strokes, Granny Yan brought Mingjia back to her old home in Qingzhou.

Ming Jia suddenly recalled the scene when she and her brother Ming Jun were talking in the yard late at night when they were at the old house.

"It turns out that Granny Yan wasn't sleeping at that time!"

Mrs. Yan laughed when she heard this. When she was in Qingzhou, she lived in the same room as Miss Mingjia. The lady went out, how could she sleep!

"Miss, this old slave is a very capable woman. She has never made any mistakes while keeping vigil for the master!"

Ming Jia knew that Granny Yan was joking with him on purpose, and it was rare that Granny Yan, who was so serious, actually joked with him.

"Thank you Granny Yan for the gift, I like it very much!"

"Now that I have time, I will draw this veil and show it to my brother!"

"If Miss likes it, then send this to Qu County as well!"

Mrs. Yan said and took out an identical handkerchief from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Mingjia with a smile.

"Oh my God! Granny Yan, you also embroidered a handkerchief for my brother!"

Mrs. Yan looked at Ming Jia's smile and smiled too.

Mingjia suddenly saw Granny Yan's smile and was a little stunned because Granny Yan rarely smiled so happily.

"Grandma Yan, have you ever thought about returning to the capital for retirement? Or rather, for retirement?"

Mrs. Yan knew that Miss Mingjia was always smart, so she wasn't surprised that she could guess some things, but she didn't expect that Miss Mingjia would mention it at this time.

"The Xiao family is very nice, and the climate in Dianzhou is also suitable for me! When the lady brings her business to the capital, I can take the lady's car back home!"

Ming Jia looked at Granny Yan smiling lovingly, and her nose suddenly felt sore.

"Grandma Yan, you really think highly of me!"
