Chapter 234 Winter Mist

Songtao Courtyard? Xun Qingran put down the account book in her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"That person named Yu Niang was hanged."

Yu Niang? Xun Qingran frowned slightly. Yu Niang was one of the three women who went to the Governor's Mansion with Xin Fuhao and arranged them in Songtao Courtyard. The three of them had been doing needlework and thread honestly and had never caused trouble. Why did something happen suddenly? And it was such a big deal?

Xun Qingran stood up and ordered someone to bring big clothes.

"Grandma, it's better for me to take someone to see you." Madam Xu hurriedly stepped forward and stopped her.

"Human life is at stake, why is it so good? I suddenly hanged. I have to go and see it." Xun Qingran said.

Xun Qingran was dressed neatly, took her men out of the main courtyard and headed straight to Songtao courtyard.

The fog outside gradually dissipated. Madam Xu supported Xun Qingran because it was very cold. Xun Qingran covered her head tightly with her cloak hat, and her hands were also wrapped in the sable sleeves.

There were two mothers guarding the gate of Songtao Courtyard. Seeing that Madam Xu was supporting Xun Qingran, she hurriedly came forward to pay tribute.

"You guard the door, and no one is allowed to enter or exit without grandma's permission." Madam Xu ordered.

Everyone entered Songtaoyuan and came straight to the east wing.

There are three upper rooms in Songtao Courtyard, and two wing rooms each. Now Shanxi lives in the west wing room, and Yu Niang lives in the east wing room, three women from the military camp.

The door of the west wing was half-closed, and you could vaguely see a body hanging on the door frame.

There were three people standing at the door of the west wing, one of which was Chunxi. Now the wound on her face had been healed, leaving only a few scars of varying degrees. Because she had been using medicine, the scars were not very conspicuous. One looked beautiful and slightly older, and was called Lufu, and the other was long and pretty, called Qianyu.

When these three people saw Xun Qingran coming, they all came to see him.

"It was discovered by the slave." Lu Fu's eyes were slightly red. "Yu Niang said she was uncomfortable in the morning, so she stayed in the house to rest. After the slave came out, she drew water to wash clothes. When she came back, she saw Yu Niang hanging there."

Qianyu's words are similar. Unlike Lufu, she is cleaning the courtyard.

"My maids are doing needlework and thread. When they hear their screams, they come out of the house." Chunxi said.

"Go and take the person down." Madam Xu ordered.

There were two brave women who pushed open the door, went into the room, and hugged Yu Niang's body.

As soon as the door was pushed open, a black shadow rushed out of the room and rushed straight to Xun Qingran's chest. Everyone was focused on the corpse, and unexpectedly, they couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Xun Qingran couldn't dodge and fell to the ground, protecting her belly with her hands. The black shadow went crazy and grabbed and bite Xun Qingran's belly.

"Grandma, grandma." The screams were heard. Xun Qingran was pregnant. She fell again after this fright, so she rushed forward.

At this time, a whistle was heard. The people in the yard felt that the cold wind was covering the shop, and a big white bird fell from the sky. In the blink of an eye, they grabbed the black shadow under their claws, flapped their wings, flew to the person holding the bamboo whistle, landed on the ground, and pressed the struggling raccoon cat firmly under its claws.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn with the snow ball and land on the man.

The man was wearing a stone-green marten cloak, and his hat covered half of his face. The man put the bamboo whistle into his sleeves and pushed the hat back to his head, revealing a pretty face, which was Xun Qingran.

"Good example, snow group." Xun Qingran said.

Everyone was shocked.

"Why are there two grandmas?" an old woman said with her mouth open.

"Oh," Xun Qingran, who fell to the ground, got up as if nothing had happened and took off her hat.

"Miss Malt?!"

"Grandma is really a scheming calculation." Malt said crisply.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the one who fell down just now was Malt. She was wearing Xun Qingran's clothes, and Madam Xu was supporting her, surrounded by the maids and mothers. No wonder everyone thought she was Xun Qingran.

Malt picked up the mink sleeves that fell to the ground, "This is evidence." As he spoke, his almond eyes looked coldly at Shanxi, who was standing beside him with a shrunk.

"Tie her." Xun Qingran was helped by Zi Yuan and ordered.

Some of the old women tied up Shanxi in a few seconds.

Shanxi struggled, "Grandma didn't ask why she tied her maid. The maid was wronged."

"At this time, you were stubborn and quibbling. You put something in this sleeve and secretly raised a cat. Do you think grandma doesn't know? It just depends on what trick you are playing." Malt went up and reached out to slap Shanxi. "Grandma originally thought that if you were content with peace of mind, she would heal your injuries and arrange a future for you. Who knows that your heart is so vicious."

Shanxi's face suddenly turned red, and her eyes were blazing fire to Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran had no time to pay attention to her and stepped into the room. Yu Niang's body had been taken off and placed on a wooden board.

Madam Xu squatted down, first pressed Yu Niang's pulse, then went to vent her nose, then stood up, shook her head at Xun Qingran, indicating that the person was dead.

Xun Qingran looked at the bruises on Yu Niang's neck and suddenly remembered another person, and squatted down without realizing it.

"Grandma, it's bad luck here. I'm going to take someone to deal with it. Grandma better go back first." said Madam Xu.

Xun Qingran waved her hand and still squatted down to check the bruises on Yu Niang's neck.

"Tie these two too." Xun Qingran turned around, pointed to Lu Fu and Qianyu who were huddling at the door, and ordered.

Some of the old men went over and tied up the two of them.

"I'm wronged." The two of them shouted injustice.

"Grandma?" Madam Xu looked at Xun Qingran.

Xun Qingran asked Madam Xu to look at the marks on the back of Yu Niang's neck. The marks were divided into two circles, one circle was slightly shallow, in a closed ring shape, and the other circle was deeper, with an oblique upward direction, non-closed.

Not only did they look similar, but they even had the same way of death. They were killed by others and then disguised as suicide. Xun Qingran thought of the unjustly dead soul of the Marquis Mansion of Dingyuan, the capital.

Xun Qingran sighed. She was unable to help the woman seek justice at the beginning, but now this one must be investigated clearly.

Xun Qingran was about to get up, but stopped again, and her eyes stopped on Yu Niang's belly. She remembered that when Yu Niang first entered the mansion, her waist was slim, but at this time, she looked very bloated. Xun Qingran's hand fell on Yu Niang's belly, and the corners of her eyes were twitching, and Yu Niang's belly was moving.

There was an idea that passed by Xun Qingran's mind. It was impossible, too incredible. Although he thought this idea was impossible, Xun Qingran still stretched out his hand.

"Let the slave come." Madam Xu said.

Madam Xu reached out to uncover Yu Niang's clothes. Inside the clothes, there were circles of cloth strips wrapped around Yu Niang's waist and abdomen.

"Madam," Xun Qingran signaled to Madam Xu.

Madam Xu hurriedly uncovered all the cloth strips.

"God." Even Madam Xu couldn't help but feel moved. She was obviously pregnant and was not young.

Xun Qingran touched Yu Niang's abdomen and body temperature with her hands. The little guy inside seemed to sense something and moved again.

Feeling the squirming under his hands, Xun Qingran made a quick decision.

"I'm still alive." Xun Qingran said, turning around and instructing, "Go and invite Doctor Lu."

Lu Fu and Qianyu were taken aside. When Xun Qingran said she was still alive, she ordered someone to call the imperial physician, and she couldn't help but change her face.

Xun Qingran asked someone to lift Yu Niang's body onto the kang, and a charcoal basin was formed in the house. He turned around and looked at the two of them, and had an idea in his mind.

"We need to save people here, take them out, and don't get in the way here." Xun Qingran ordered.

The two women hurriedly dragged the two of them out.

Xun Qingran called Madam Xu over and whispered a few instructions. Madam Xu nodded repeatedly and was busy making arrangements.

Yu Niang should have been hung for a while, so the baby in her belly is still alive. At this time, everything else is secondary, and she needs to find a way to save the child.

"Doctor Lu is here." Baozhu came in with the medicine box in his arms. Dr. Lu is old and his legs are not so fast. A strong servant came running with him on his back.

Xun Qingran led Doctor Lu to the side of the kang and asked him to see Yu Niang.

"Old Lu, the child won't be able to support him for long." Xun Qingran said bluntly.

Doctor Lu is very experienced. After seeing this scene, he already understood what Xun Qingran meant.

Doctor Lu reached out and pressed Yu Niang's abdomen, confirming that the baby inside was still alive, then opened Yu Niang's eyelids and looked at it, and her pupils had dissipated.

"Grandma, is this going to take the child out of her belly?"

Doctor Lu was very calm and said something at once. Xun Qingran felt relaxed and nodded. There was no other way at this time.

"I have only read it in ancient books, but have never done it." Although Doctor Lu said this, his subordinates had already opened the medicine box.

Xun Qingran had already handed a silver knife to Dr. Lu.

Doctor Lu knew that he could not delay this time, and the birth canal below had not been opened, so there was only one way.

"Grandma, please step back." Dr. Lu said.

Mama Xu brought two older women forward, Mai Le and Platycodon helped Xun Qingran to retreat to the side.

Although Doctor Lu had never done it, his hands were very stable. After a while, with the help of the mothers, he dived open the belly of the female corpse and took out a bloody baby.

Another woman brought hot water, a snail, scissors, and Doctor Lu cut off the baby's umbilical cord and wiped the baby's body clean.

"It's a boy." Dr. Lu said, then took out a piece of wheat straw from the medicine box, gently broke open the baby's mouth, and stuck it in with the wheat straw, sucked out the blood clots from the baby's mouth.

The baby was not moving.

Doctor Lu held the baby's feet and gently patted the baby's butt.

The baby closed his eyes and was still silent.

Doctor Lu looked dark and sighed, "I have tried my best."

This means that the child cannot be saved.

Xun Qingran was unwilling to give up. She just touched Yu Niang's belly. This little guy was still moving very strongly, so why couldn't he survive that?

Xun Qingran suddenly remembered the simple first aid knowledge she had learned in her previous life, and she wanted to try her best.

"I'll do it." Xun Qingran said, regardless of the obstacles of everyone, he stepped forward and bent down, silently chanting one, two, and three in his heart. He gently pressed the baby's chest with the finger of his index finger, while exhaling into the baby's mouth toward the baby's little mouth.

Be more competitive, little guy, Xun Qingran thought.

Xun Qingran took more than a dozen breaths in a row. When she was about to despair, the baby suddenly struggled and cried out with a wow.
