Chapter 163 The Midwife Has News
This morning in Shengjing City, whether in the streets or in restaurants and teahouses, everyone was talking about the same topic, the protagonist of the topic - Mu Qingqing.
Whether it was the small peddlers or the literati, they all praised Mu Qingqing----
"Hey, Wang Er, have you heard about the heroic deeds of the Prime Minister's daughter in the palace yesterday?"
"How could I not know? It seems that we have misunderstood Miss Mu before! Her talent and vision are beyond the reach of ordinary people like us."
"You don't know yet, right? The Arabic numerals and multiplication table created by Miss Mu can greatly save calculation time and is closely related to the lives of ordinary people like us."
"Not only that! According to my cousin's sister-in-law's brother-in-law, Miss Mu will also participate in the Four Nations Tournament for my Donglin Kingdom!"
"I know this very well! Miss Mu has a broad mind. She alone funded the sponsorship of the entire Donglin Kingdom - five million taels of silver! I really regret it - I regret that I have been scolding her behind her back! Woo woo woo, I am really not a human being..."
"Me too! The Miss Wang that my sister used to serve always talked about the three poisonous people in the capital, and Mu Qingqing was the most poisonous! It was as if Miss Mu had stolen her husband! Now it seems that it was probably because those rich girls were jealous of Miss Mu that they deliberately belittled her."
"That's not all! I heard from my father that he saw Miss Mu defeat the Minister of Revenue, Lord Yao, in the palace yesterday! You know, Lord Yao was the top scholar in the imperial examination - doesn't that mean Miss Mu is even better than the top scholar?!"
"I wonder if our Donglin Kingdom will win the Four Kingdoms Tournament this year? If so, I will start from now on, saving the money for two steamed buns every day, and beat Donglin Kingdom to win! Even if we lose, I will be willing to do so!"
"Right, right, right! In half a year, contestants from the other three countries will come to Beijing. Before they come, the dealers behind the scenes of the four countries will set up bets in advance. We will see if there are any contestants from Donglin Country at that time. If there are, I will use all my monthly salary for the past six months to bet on Donglin Country to win..."
Mu Qingqing, sitting in the low-key luxurious carriage, stretched her neck to listen to the discussions coming from time to time, with charming dimples on her cheeks.
The people of Donglin are really lovely! At least they have positive values and patriotic hearts! It seems that my efforts this time are worth it!
As it is nearly the end of the year, the roads are filled with exquisite carriages, and many wealthy ladies are buying new items to wear for the New Year in high-end silver shops and clothing bureaus.
Mu Qingqing's carriage was the most inconspicuous among all the luxurious and magnificent carriages. It went from one stop to another and arrived at Anqi Hall very smoothly.
After Mu Qingqing entered the room, she saw Prefect Zhao and two government officials waiting there.
"Dr. Mu, you're here." As soon as he saw Mu Qingqing, Lord Zhao jumped in front of Mu Qingqing and pushed the smiling Doctor Zheng aside.
Doctor Zheng stamped his feet and muttered angrily, "Robber, robber!"
Whose territory is this? Don't you know? How dare you snatch Doctor Mu in front of me! Humph! I'm angry!
Mu Qingqing raised her eyebrows and asked jokingly, "Master Zhao, is there any news about the midwife Granny Hu?"
"That's right! I wonder when Doctor Mu will be free? Let's go capture the midwife together?" Lord Zhao's upright and honest face was full of anticipation.
Doctor Mu had promised in the cell last time that he would give him the bottle of interrogation medicine as a gift after the matter with Huang and Bai was over...
Isn't it true that as long as the midwife is caught, the special medicine will be immediately available? Lord Zhao was secretly calculating in his heart.
Every morning, Mr. Huang and Mr. Bai, who went into Anqi Hall with the Anqi Hall medicine boy, had already discussed with Mr. Zhao when they saw him coming in:
"Master Zhao must be here today to look for Divine Doctor Mu, right?"
"I think so too! Does that mean there is a clue about our son?"
"Should we send someone back to the mansion to fetch the lady?"
Mr. Huang hesitated: "Well, what if we guessed wrong? If we take the lady over, wouldn't it be a false alarm?"
Mr. Bai glanced at Lord Zhao, who was standing like a pine tree, and made up his mind: "Brother Huang, never mind, just send someone to pick up the lady. Even if we guessed wrong, it would be good to let Dr. Mu help us check the lady's illness."
After all, when he was in the prison, Doctor Mu promised his wife that he would help them with their infertility problems. (This was something his wife secretly told him after he returned.)
Mu Qingqing glanced at the sky, but was actually asking Ali Jiujiu: Little Jiujiu, what time is it now?
Ali said in a muffled voice: 9:30 in the morning.
Humph! Damn the host, he didn't even come to comfort the cute little Jiujiu after he went back home last night! ! Little Jiujiu is angry!
Listening to Ali Jiujiu's unhappy voice, Mu Qingqing teased it: Wow! Our lovely little Jiujiu is still angry! I thought you were very tolerant and generous! I didn't expect that our little Jiujiu is so narrow-minded...
Ali Jiujiu, who was accused of being petty, immediately retorted: I didn't! I'm not petty! Host, you are wronging me!
Mu Qingqing continued to dig a hole for it: So, Xiao Jiujiu, you are not angry with me? Did I misunderstand you?
Ali Jiujiu, who didn’t know he had already fallen into the trap, immediately answered: Yes!
I told you! How could our cute and smart little Jiujiu be so petty? It seems that it is all my fault. I misunderstood! Mu Qingqing continued to tease it.
The villain in my heart laughed loudly, holding her thin waist: Humph! You little brat! You are too young to play tricks on me!
Mu Qingqing, who enjoyed bullying children, didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, she was proud of it!
Alas, poor Ali Jiujiu, who made you deal with such an unreliable boss!
After teasing Ali Jiujiu, Mu Qingqing said to Lord Zhao in a good mood: "Lord Zhao, wait until I finish the operation and leave after lunch."
"Okay! Then I will wait here for Doctor Mu." Lord Zhao followed his instructions, found a seat to sit down, and started to act as the door god.
The two government guards glanced at each other secretly: "It's only early in the morning, it's still early for lunch! We haven't had breakfast yet, but we came here with Lord Zhao to meet the divine doctor."
Ya Wei Jia: How about we go outside and have a quick bite to eat, and bring some food back for the adults?
Ya Weiyi glanced at Lord Zhao who was sitting like a clock and said: What are you waiting for? Run away quickly!
Lord Zhao didn't care about the little tricks of his two subordinates. It was still early after lunch anyway! They had nothing to do with him, so they could do whatever they wanted!
While Mu Qingqing was performing surgery on the new victim, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Bai also hurried to Anqitang.
"My dear husband," Madam Huang walked to Mr. Huang's side, glanced at Mr. Zhao who was sitting not far away as a door god, and asked quietly, "Is there any news about my son?"
Since I found out that my baby was swapped, I have been unable to sleep for the past two days. Every time I close my eyes, I see my baby suffering...
Mrs. Bai, whose psychological endurance is much stronger than Mrs. Huang's, has not had a good rest in the past two days.
The first thing he did after returning home was to send several groups of people to watch around the notice to see if there was any suspicious woman. Unfortunately, no good news came.
