Si Wen hurried forward and hugged Xu Yixing's waist, fearing that she would do something extreme again.

"Siwen, I'm fine, let me go." Xu Yixing calmed down. Wasn't this something he had vaguely suspected countless times, including the fact that his father made him lose his memory? Maybe, maybe one of the reasons was to make him forget his mother and stop looking for her everywhere like he did when he was a child.

"Granny He, do you know what you are saying?"

"I know..."

"Then do you know what the crime is if you slander the government?"

"I know."

Xu Yixing sat down again. His black cloak was already stained with dirt, and it looked ugly. "So do you have any evidence?"

Granny He smiled bitterly: "Second Miss, if there was evidence, your father would have killed me long ago... Ahem! This is all true, but there is no evidence..."

"Tell me in detail, and I will be able to tell the truth from the false."

"Okay, okay. As I said during the day, Mrs. Bai did die because the fetus was too large and she couldn't be born and had a hemorrhage. But this problem of the fetus being too large could have been avoided."

"What do you mean?"

"That was the first child of the Xu family and the first of the Bai family, so both families attached great importance to it. As soon as she became pregnant, they called me over to take care of her all the time. When she was about four or five months pregnant, I reminded General Xu many times that Madam had a good appetite and she needed to control her appetite to prevent the fetus from growing too big and being difficult to deliver."

"What did my father say?"

"General Xu always says he has made note of it, but every time he sees Madam Bai, he finds that she seems to know nothing about it and just keeps replenishing her nutrition."

"Then can't you remind Madam Bai?"

"I wanted to, too, but every time I went to the mansion, Madam Bai was surrounded by a bunch of people, including the then commander and some miscellaneous noble ladies. I could only tell General Xu of my family privately."

Xu Yixing pondered silently, at that time, it should be only his grandfather who came into the house from time to time, but he definitely didn't understand these things. As for his father, did he do it on purpose or was it an accident?

"and then?"

"Later, when it came time for the birth, it really came true as I said. I told General Xu that if she couldn't give birth again, she would probably suffocate to death. Then we used a drug to induce labor, and that's how the eldest daughter was born. But the drug was very strong and would probably cause heavy bleeding, so there was no other way."

"I see. You must have told my father about this powerful medicine in advance, and he agreed, right?"

"That's right, that's why I said it was his order. But, this matter is also a necessary measure. My suspicion is only based on why he didn't stop Madam Bai from eating so much. I can't explain this."

Xu Yixing looked up at the sky. The starry sky was visible through the roof of the dilapidated temple. It looked beautiful, yet also a little depressing.

It turned out to be him. It was indeed him.

Xu Yixing didn't believe that his father was a person who didn't listen to the doctor's advice, so he did it on purpose. He survived, but his mother died. He really didn't know whether he should be grateful to him or hate him.

"It was because my father invited you as his first child that Mrs. Gu followed the old practice and invited you. Didn't my father get involved in the affairs of the concubine later?"

"No, only Mrs. Bai..."

"Our family is really unlucky. How come we have to run into you?" Xu Yixing muttered a few words. Maybe this is his fate. If he replaced her with a midwife who was not so famous, she might be afraid of the power of the Xu family and dare not work for the Gu family.

He was an executioner who had done things for his father before, so he would naturally not be lenient towards the people who came after him.

"Second Miss! Now I am about to be buried, and I am risking my life to tell you the truth, please, please let me go!"

"Why are you dying? You deserve to die." Xu Yixing thought about how to deal with her and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you have anyone around you who can replace you as a midwife? For example, is there anyone who can fill in for you when you are very busy?"

Granny He didn't understand what this meant at first, and thought that the second young lady still wanted a midwife in the future, but just didn't choose her.

So he quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes! I have two women, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Ma, at home. I brought them up. I let them go if the price is not high. They are very experienced!"

"That's good, otherwise I'm really worried about delaying other people's deliveries. Yingjiu, let her sign it."

Ying Jiu landed on the ground and placed three copies in front of Grandma He and took out the ink pad.

Granny He didn't expect there was someone on the roof. She was even more scared after seeing the confession, but she had already said it, so there was nothing she could do. More importantly, the second Miss Xu was asking about the Xu family's affairs, not other families. She didn't believe that the second Miss would kill her own relatives for the sake of justice.

"Okay, miss, can I go now?"

"No hurry, eat something, are you hungry?" Xu Yixing called Ying Si who was outside the door in: "Give her some medicine that can accelerate aging, don't hurt her life. I can't stand this kind of old witch, she still has the energy to hurt people at such an old age!"

"Ah?" Grandma He didn't expect that Miss Xu would really turn against her. She opened her mouth wide, but the next moment a pill as big as a longan was stuffed into her mouth, almost choking her to death.

"You! You!" Granny He pointed at Xu Yixing, but soon she found that she seemed to have no strength left. The vitality in her body was rapidly draining away, and she suddenly became demented.

"Put her at the gate of the He family like this, and write 'Retribution' in big letters on the gate. Anyway, she has done so many evil things, and no one knows which family did it. Even if I scare her this time, I will scare to death a group of people who have made her do bad things!"

"Master is wise!"

In this way, everyone will know that someone interrogated Grandma He at night and learned the secret from her, but no one knows how many secrets were leaked. Maybe they can be used in the future!

So the next day, the most explosive news in the capital was that the wealthy and talented Grandma He was being sought after by her enemies and collapsed in front of her own house with wounds all over her body. In addition, someone had splashed a striking slogan with paint on the front door of the He family's house.

Most importantly, although Granny He was not seriously injured, she was indeed depressed, dazed, with dull eyes, and her family could not get any information out of her. Although they reported the case to the police, it did not help much.

Those families who had previously made reservations to have Granny He deliver their babies also became panicked. Although the He family promised to send a new person, everyone still looked for safe and secure buyers on their own. Granny He's rivals were also affected by this and their business became prosperous.

Of course, it is unknown whether some people would be anxious in the middle of the night, fearing that someone has really discovered the secrets of this mansion.
