Zhao Yunniang locked the door tightly, returned to the bed, and hugged the child, coaxing it softly.
She couldn't help but worry about the commotion outside.
As an experienced person, she certainly knew that giving birth to a child was no less than a death sentence for a woman.
Perhaps it was because Miss Ya, the backbone, was not there, she always felt a little uneasy.
"Hurry up, her water has broken. If the child doesn't come out, I'm afraid he will suffocate inside!"
Suddenly, a panicked scream made her heart skip a beat.
Unconsciously holding the child's small and soft body, she kept praying in her heart, hoping that the poor woman would be all right.
"Yunniang, open the door. I'm afraid Sister Gui Lan can't make it. Come out and help her."
"Ah, I'm coming!"
Zhao Yunniang put down the child and walked to the door.
But as soon as she put her hand on the door latch, she suddenly stopped.
No.
Before Miss Ya left, she had repeatedly reminded her that if there was any trouble outside, one thing she must do was to stay by the child's side and never leave.
Moreover, her mother had already left, and now there was only her and the child left. If she opened the door, she would not have any power to protect herself.
After thinking about it, she made up her mind and took a step back.
"No, my mother has already gone out to find someone. I just gave birth, and my body is very weak. I'm afraid I can't help much."
The person outside urged again and again.
"You don't need to do anything. After all, you have given birth before. This is Gui Lan's first child, so she must be afraid. You just need to talk to her by her bedside. "
"There are so many aunts and aunts in the yard who have given birth before. I don't have to go. I think I'd better not cause trouble. "
Zhao Yunniang had quietly returned to the bedside, picked up the child, and looked at the door vigilantly.
Although she had made it so clear, the person still knocked on the door.
"Open the door, you can't leave her to die! Zhao Yunniang, if Gui Lan can't give birth, you'll kill her! "
There was a hint of exasperation in the person's tone.
Zhao Yunniang felt even more suspicious, and this door must not be opened.
"I'm not a doctor. It's useless even if I go. Don't try to scare me. My mother will be back with people soon. They will definitely be able to save Gui Lan. "
That person didn't say anything, but the banging on the door became more and more urgent. It even began to tremble, as if it could be broken at any time.
Zhao Yunniang also felt a surge of courage.
She tied the child's swaddle to her back and used all her strength to push the large table in the room to the door.
"Don't think that I can't do anything if you hide inside. Zhao Yunniang, just you wait!"
The man finally lowered his voice and threatened her. After that, he didn't move again.
Zhao Yunniang's nerves were also tense at this moment. She didn't dare to relax at all.
She was already burning with anxiety, but the reason why the people outside dared to be so brazen was probably because the pregnant woman suddenly gave birth and had no time to take care of her.
Now, she could only pray that someone from the Zhao Family would come.
Suddenly she remembered her mother who had been called away.
Behind him, the baby seemed to have sensed his mother's uneasiness and suddenly burst into tears.
She could only take care of the child first, feeling extremely anxious.
She hoped that her mother could come back safely and that their family could still be reunited.
At this time, Zhao Yunniang, who was at a loss, didn't notice that a hand had quietly reached in through the window that had been left a little gap for ventilation …
The news that the pregnant woman suddenly gave birth had been reported by the guards at the door.
The guards at the door immediately sent the news to the Zhao Family.
After Fang Rao received the news, she immediately rushed to help.
At the same time, she also secretly sent a letter to Lin Mengya.
Although she had been prepared before, she still trusted Lin Mengya's medical skills the most.
Lin Mengya and her husband also rushed to the hot spring villa as soon as possible.
What they didn't know was that not long after they left, an entrance to a secret passage that had never been discovered was quietly opened by someone.
This happened to be Dong Zichang's small courtyard, but because the passage was under the bed and no one used it all year round, it became a fish that slipped through the net.
Dong Zichang had been pacing around the room angrily all night.
Before this, in order to "punish" him, Long Tianhao deliberately took away all his will, medicinal herbs, and all his medical records.
This may not be a big deal for others, but for Dong Zichang, it was an unbearable torture.
He was panting heavily, and his pair of eyes, which had always been emotionless, was now filled with madness and violence.
"Young Master Dong."
He suddenly turned his head and stared fiercely at the thin black figure that had crawled out from under the bed.
But the other party was not afraid at all, and he tiptoed to his side.
"It was Fourth Master who asked me to come and pick you up. Fourth Master said that before Old Dong left, he entrusted you to him, and he must protect you. Hurry up and leave with me, I'm afraid you'll be discovered by them if we're late. "
But Dong Zichang didn't move.
His eyes were fixed on the man, and he didn't even blink. It was very terrifying.
The thin man's expression was a little dry at the moment.
Fortunately, he came prepared. He directly took out a scroll from his arms and waved it in front of Dong Zichang.
"This is the medical scripture that you've been looking for. If you come with me, this medical scripture will be yours."
Finally, Dong Zichang's gaze shifted from his face to the scroll.
After seeing the name on the cover, he immediately snatched the medical scripture over, and a fanatical look appeared in his eyes.
It was just that this time around, he was willing to follow the other party's instructions.
The thin man secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself that Sun Mo was really a fool.
After that, the two of them sneaked under the bed and left through the secret tunnel. No one knew where they went.
At the same time, in the Zhao Residence, something happened to Zhao Xun after Fang Ran brought his men away.
The person in charge of delivering food to her had just entered the door when he saw that Zhao Xun had already slit his wrist, and blood was flowing profusely.
"Something happened! Young Master Tang committed suicide! Someone come quickly! "
The panicked cries of the servants also caused the guards at the door to rush in.
Someone immediately went to report to Fang Ran, but Fang Ran had just left, so they could only send people to chase after him.
For a time, the Zhao Residence was in chaos.
A sneaky figure stealthily went to the backyard and unlocked the back door.
Not long later, the people who had long been hiding in the surroundings finally entered the inner courtyard of the Zhao Residence.
However, they didn't go to save Zhao Xun, nor did they go to the Zhao Clan's private storehouse. Instead, they went straight to a small family temple in the corner of the backyard.
That place was very small, and the one-man-tall house could only accommodate two adults.
Moreover, what was worshiped here wasn't some deity or bodhisattva, but a lonely memorial tablet.
"Second Brother, we meet again."
Uncle Zhao coldly smiled as he walked in.
Although he addressed Sun Mo as' Second Brother ', he had no respect for the memorial tablet at all.
He casually took down the memorial tablet and tossed it to the side without even looking at it. His eyes flickered with greed.
He ordered his subordinates, "Dig for me!"
The few people he brought with him immediately started digging.
Not long later, the small family temple was already in a dilapidated state.
Very soon, they found what they were looking for — a silver box.
"Hahahaha, that bastard from the Huo Clan probably didn't even dream that all the wealth of the Huo Clan is in my hands."
Uncle Zhao couldn't help but say proudly.
He had endured for so long without touching the wealth of the Huo Clan. Firstly, he was afraid that if others found out, it would be difficult for him to get everything. Secondly, he was afraid that the bastard from the Huo Clan would get into an accident after seeing it and indirectly affect his plan.
Now, he didn't have to be afraid.
Once that bastard from the Huo Clan knew about the Huo Clan, he would never wake up.
Moreover, before the people from the Elders Guild arrived, he would kill all the people who knew about it and obtain the prescription of Dong Xue's child devouring medicine.
Not only would he obtain great benefits, but he would also obtain the protection of the Elders Guild. His status would only become more stable.
As for that little slut from the Gong Clan …
Hmph, he would push everyone's death to her side.
At that time, the entire aboriginals would treat her as an enemy. Even if she had wings, she wouldn't be able to escape!
Thinking of his brilliant plan, Uncle Zhao couldn't suppress the pride on his face.
"Let's go."
He turned around and left, his mind and eyes filled with the silver treasure chest in his arms.
Little did he know that a long sword would suddenly appear.
However, the person next to Zhao Sishu blocked the long sword with his body of flesh and blood.
"Pfft." The long sword pierced through the person's chest.
Then, it was mercilessly pulled out.
Uncle Zhao was shocked and looked at the person who had come.
"Who, who are you?"
Against the light, he could only see the tall silhouette of the person.
"What you are holding in your hands is the Huo Clan's Silver Light Box."
As the cold words came out, the facial features gradually became clearer. However, Uncle Zhao's eyes were filled with endless fear.
"You, you are …"
"Huo Xiao, the only descendant of the Huo Clan."
Huo Xiao held the long sword and approached them step by step.
His eyes were burning with anger and hatred. Facing the person in front of him, he couldn't wait to tear him into pieces.
"No, that's impossible! The Huo Clan is already dead, except for … "
He knew that he couldn't say the rest of his words.
However, Huo Xiao was already burning with anger.
The Silver Light Box was the Huo Clan's family heirloom.
Because of its special material, as long as it was locked, neither water nor fire could penetrate it.
Even if it was buried in the ground, it wouldn't rot for thousands of years.
He had only seen it once when he was young.
However, ever since the Huo Clan was exterminated, the Silver Light Box mysteriously disappeared.
He thought that the item had fallen into the hands of his enemies. He even thought that it was the reason why the Huo Clan was exterminated.
However, he didn't expect that it was actually in the Zhao Clan.
"Now, the Silver Light Box must be returned to its rightful owner. As for you."
Huo Xiao's gaze fell on Uncle Zhao, filled with murderous intent.
"You deserve to die!"
Uncle Zhao hugged the Silver Light Box tightly in his arms, gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely, "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
He had painstakingly obtained this item, so it must be his!
The people around him immediately rushed forward and fought with Huo Xiao.
