Chapter 349 They all had difficult labors
"Miss, do you know who gave you the silver needle?" Gu Ze asked anxiously after returning the silver needle to Wang Xinyao.
Wang Xinyao frowned. It was really inconvenient for her to tell outsiders without Chen Liangxian's consent.
Shopkeeper Chen standing by looked even more nervous.
"This silver needle is extremely special. It bears the unique mark of my Gu family and is difficult for ordinary people to imitate.
"Miss, the person I'm looking for is the owner of the silver needle, my cousin. Could you please tell me where my cousin is?" Gu Ze said sincerely.
"How can you prove that you are from the Gu family?" Shopkeeper Chen asked in a deep voice.
Gu Ze looked at Shopkeeper Chen, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he still slowly began to speak.
“Our Gumu family is actually a hermit family in Xia Country, and my Gu family is the abandoned child of the hermit family, and our existence is not allowed by the Gu family mistress.
My great-grandfather and great-grandmother were truly in love, but they were forcibly separated by my great-great-grandfather, who then schemed to forcefully marry the daughter of a powerful nobleman to be his mistress. My grandmother was driven out of the Gu family while pregnant.
Sixteen years ago, my great-grandfather passed away, and the mistress of the Gu family also passed away one after another. The head of the Gu family, my great-grandfather, took us back to the Gu family.
But my aunt didn't want to go with my grandfather, so he had to leave her alone in the capital.
After we got there, my grandfather was always ostracized by the other brothers. Over the past sixteen years, after experiencing countless life and death situations, my grandfather finally became the head of the family.
But when we wanted to take our aunt back, we heard the news that she had passed away.
I heard that my uncle was seriously injured at the border, and my cousin is missing. My father was really worried, so he sent me to find my cousin personally.
"What you said can be known by anyone who is interested if they check it out. It is not credible!" After hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen still looked unconvinced.
My own young master had been poisoned and assassinated by his closest brother, and the man in front of me had only been with him for a few days. It was hard to believe.
Shopkeeper Chen no longer trusts anyone except Wang Xinyao and the people from Xiejia Village, and he will never expose the hiding place of Young Master Chen Liangxian to strangers.
Seeing this scene, Gu Ze became more certain that the shopkeeper Chen in front of him might be related to his cousin.
He then continued, "The Guze silver needle was a token of love from my great-grandfather to my great-grandmother. My great-grandmother loved practicing medicine, and the silver needle was just right for her.
My great-grandfather loved sword dancing, so they engraved the Gu family's special symbol on the silver needles and swords.
Shopkeeper Chen, look, this is the sword of our Gu family's successive patriarchs. The symbol engraved on it is the same as the one on the Gu Ze silver needle!"
After saying that, Gu Ze handed the sword in his hand to Shopkeeper Chen.
Shopkeeper Chen took the sword doubtfully, and then took the silver needle from Wang Xinyao.
After a comparison, they are indeed exactly the same.
Most of the doubts in Manager Chen's heart were dispelled, but he was still a little hesitant. He looked at Wang Xinyao, as if waiting for her to make a decision.
Wang Xinyao thought for a moment and felt that what Gu Ze said was not false, and the logo was indeed the same, so she nodded slightly to Manager Chen.
At this time, Gu Ze spoke again: "You are Uncle Chen Fu, right? I heard from my father that after my aunt got married, you have been protecting her.
Oh, by the way, you have a childhood sweetheart. Father said her name seemed to be Wu Wenxiu. Yes, Wu Wenxiu!"
After hearing this, Shopkeeper Chen completely believed it. After all, apart from the head of the family and the young lady, no one knew about his affair with his wife!
"Master Gu, you really are Master Gu!" Shopkeeper Chen's eyes reddened as he said excitedly, "I believe you. My Master is now in Xiejia Village."
As he said that, he turned to look at Wang Xinyao: "Madam, can we hurry back to Xie Village? I haven't seen the young master for a long time, and I don't know how my wife is doing with her pregnancy!"
Since the marriage, Shopkeeper Chen changed his way of addressing Wang Xinyao and followed Wu Wenxiu in calling her Madam.
Wang Xinyao smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
At that moment, everyone immediately jumped on their horses, whipped their horses and galloped towards Xiejia Village. The sound of horses' hooves was heard and dust was flying all the way.
When we returned to the entrance of Xiejia Village, night had already fallen quietly.
The village entrance was quiet, and it seemed that most families had gone to bed.
Wang Xinyao knew that it was inconvenient to disturb others, so she asked Xie Xiaogang to go home first, and then she went to her own house with Xiao Xizi, Gu Ze and Manager Chen.
Before entering the yard, bursts of noise came from the yard.
Wang Xinyao's heart suddenly tightened. She had been away from home for almost a year and had no idea about the situation at home. She unconsciously quickened her pace and hurried inside.
The gate to the yard was tightly packed, and as soon as she approached, the guards immediately spotted them.
"Great, Madam is back. Meet Madam!" The guards saluted in unison, their voices filled with surprise.
"Hurry up and get up!" Wang Xinyao asked anxiously, "What happened in there?"
"Madam, you are finally back. Please go and save Manager Wu and Madam Wu. They are both having difficult births. The midwife is at her wit's end. The young lady is still young and doesn't know what to do!"
Hearing the words "Manager Wu," Shopkeeper Chen was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and shouted in a trembling voice, "Madam, Madam..."
"Uncle Chen, don't worry, I'm here." Wang Xinyao didn't have time to ask who Mrs. Wu was, so she pushed through the crowd and squeezed straight into the room.
"Everyone, please make way, the lady is back!" the guards shouted at the top of their lungs.
When everyone heard the word "Madam," they all made way for her, chanting, "Xinyao is back! That's great! They're saved."
As soon as Wang Xinyao rushed into the house, Wu Mingjun rushed forward and fell to his knees with a plop: "Miss Wang, please, please save Shiya!"
Wang Xinyao suddenly realized that Mrs. Wu was actually Xie Shiya.
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu, I'm here, nothing will happen." After saying that, Wang Xinyao rushed into the room designed like a medical room without hesitation.
Wu Wenxiu and Xie Shiya were lying weakly on the bed, their faces as pale as paper, and their groans of pain were heard everywhere.
The midwife paced back and forth anxiously beside Wu Wenxiu, at a loss as to what to do. Xie Dahua stood in the middle of the room, her face full of anxiety and worry.
Mrs. Xie was in tears, her hands stained with blood as she delivered the baby, muttering, "Ya'er, Ya'er, you have to hold on, hurry up, push harder!"
