"Well, take a good look at your daughter...she looks really good." The old lady had already touched the bones, shook her head slightly, and handed Xue'er to Zhu Xiazhi.

She didn't say it clearly, but everyone knew that there was no immortal bone anymore.

Zhu Xiazhi looked at his daughter and beamed with joy: "Hey! So what if I don't have fairy bones? My little girl's skin is as creamy and as smooth as jade. She has the beauty and fragrance of a country just after she was born. She might become a queen in the future!"

The old lady smiled lightly, her daughter was indeed well born, the queen was a bit far away, but it was very possible to marry into a first-class family!

So she glanced at Zhu Xiazhi's wife, who was respectful and silent, and gave her a slight warning before leaving gracefully.

"Mom, go slowly!" Zhu Xiazhi sent her off unsteadily.

The old lady walked to the door, suddenly turned around and reminded: "Xiazhi, now that the child is born, you must take the time to go to the Yamen. The imperial court has granted you the title of Magistrate of Anqiu County. You should take it seriously..."

"It's snowing too much this year. You control the whole people, so you can't just let your staff do everything."

Zhu Xiazhi was looking down at his beautiful daughter who was teasing him. When he heard that it was snowing too hard, he smiled sarcastically.

He held up his daughter who was like a jade doll and said: "How can I look into the snow if I can't bear to say goodbye to my beauty? Don't be surprised that spring returns late, but the victory is still not over yet the cold is over!"

"Yes! My daughter's name is Zhu Yanxue!"

The third uncle took a breath of cold air... His precious daughter is so beautiful, how can he bother to look at the heavy snow outside? Don't be surprised that spring comes late, it is better than not having enough fun in the cold weather!

The third uncle of the Zhu family felt numb after listening to this poem he recited casually. Although he was used to his uninhibitedness, this time it was a bit too much.

Heavy snow this year has covered six northern states! In Qingzhou alone, 50,000 people have died of hunger, cold, and cold!

Some refugees in Donglai County pretended to be gods and rebelled in the name of immortals. The situation in Anqiu was slightly better, but a large number of refugees gathered because of this... and outside many other cities, frozen corpses blocked the city gates.

As a local government official, you actually feel that this cold wave is not enough for you? What do you mean by ‘the victory is still not over the cold’?

The third uncle had a sullen face and was about to scold him harshly, but the old lady spoke first.

"If you are asked to go, you go! The prefect of Langya is old and you have been looking after him for twenty years. The master is also the prince Zhan Shi. In the future... in any case, you have to start preparing. How can you not go to the Yamen once?"

The unfinished meaning of what the old lady said was that when the prince ascended the throne, Zhu Xiazhi would be able to become the prefect of Langya.

Seeing that the topic had gone so far, the third uncle could only swallow back the words he was about to accuse.

This is the heir of the Zhu family. He has never been to the Yamen and can become the prefect of Langya...

And it was basically determined a few years ago, unless the one who ascended the throne was not the prince.

How can we discuss the county magistrate's duties with him in this situation?

"Mother, I know this. Once I take a look at Qin'er, I will go to the Yamen immediately!" Zhu Xiazhi quickly and respectfully agreed.

He knew his mother too well and didn't care about his debauchery. As long as he was respectful and obedient in front of his mother at critical moments, letting her know that he respected her and only her words mattered, then everything would be fine.

Sure enough, the old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's not disturb them."

After saying that, she left directly. How could so many elders stay? The third uncle had no choice but to leave with her.

From the beginning to the end, they had no intention of going into the back room to see Yueqin, who was still performing on the bed.

Yueqin was very worried for fear of being discovered, but there was no doubt that this worry was in vain.

Not many people in the whole house care about her at all. Except for the servants, only Zhu Xiazhi comes to this side courtyard on weekdays.

"Husband, the old lady and the others are all gone?"

"I'm leaving, but I have to go to the Yamen, so I can only come back later to accompany you."

Leqin breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the most difficult level was over.

"It doesn't matter, business matters are important. Xue'er has her own nanny to take care of her, and I also have Xiangyun..."

Speaking of this, Yue Qin was horrified. She had spilled the beans! She actually said the name the old man had given her.

No matter what the child's name was before, now that she is a noble daughter of the Zhu family, she must have a new name.

However, Zhu Xiazhi smiled and said: "Oh? Qin'er's good ears have heard it? Yes... Zhu Yanxue, Xue'er, you also think this name is good, right?"

"It's great to have my husband." Yue Qin smiled. It turned out that there was also a word for snow in her name. It was really fate.

The two didn't stay warm for long. Zhu Xiazhi felt that the medicine had worn off, so he changed his clothes listlessly and went to the Yamen.

It was only then that Xiangyun finally had the chance to say: "The old man is here again, I'm going to kill him!"

Yueqin was already lying down peacefully, but when he heard this, he sat up again anxiously and was extremely angry.

"Why is he here again, trying to take advantage of me?" Yueqin was afraid of this situation and spared the old man's life. If the matter was leaked, it would be better to silence him from the beginning.

She immediately wanted to get out of bed, but thinking that the nanny was still in the room outside, she had to lie back down again.

"Bring him in!"

Xiangyun said: "Bring him here? Isn't that bad? Let the slaves get rid of him."

Leqin shook his head: "It doesn't matter, he's just an old man. I'll tell you later that I arranged to hold a baby boy for him, but it's a pity that he came late."

"I need to know who he has been in contact with. This old man will not come back for no reason!"

Not long after, Xiangyun led Jiang Shouyi over.

While he was still outside the door, Jiang Shouyi heard Xue'er's cry. To his surprise, Yan Nu's twitching stopped instantly, and he opened his eyes again with a babbling sound.

"Just hearing the cry? What's the point?" Jiang Shouyi murmured in his heart.

But everything finally went as he wished, Yan Slave's poison was cured! He's getting better!

It's really because of Xue'er! Just like that, I couldn't detoxify the poison for more than two hours, and I was fine immediately.

But after coming, it was not that easy to leave. Xiangyun took him into the hall.

This was Yueqin's sleeping quarters. Even if Jiang Shouyi came, he could only kneel down in the hall outside the warm tent.

"Xue'er woke up again. You can carry her down and feed her first. I don't need you to worry about it." This is Yue Qin talking to the nanny.

Jiang Shouyi heard the nanny walking out of the warm tent and Xueer's crying, but he didn't dare to look up.

"I told you, don't come back!" At this time, Yueqin walked out of the closet and looked down at him coldly.

Jiang Shouyi lamented in his heart and kowtowed: "It's the villain's fault, but this child was poisoned. There is really nothing the villain can do."

"Poisoned?" Yue Qin saw that Yan Nu's body was indeed purple and swollen, but the symptoms were very mild and almost subsided.

"It's the medicine bottle that Cheng Tianhu carried. My grandson accidentally swallowed it." Jiang Shouyi took out the medicine bottle.

Xiangyun stepped forward to take it, and frowned when he smelled it: "Wu Shi Powder?"

Yueqin was shocked: "Such a young child, if he doesn't have immortal bones, he can't even touch them!"

Jiang Shouyi didn't know what fairy bones were, so he kept saying: "The villain didn't pay attention for a moment, and Yan Nu got a little bit of it... The villain knew that he shouldn't come back, but there was really no other way..."

Xiang Yun said angrily: "Just find a doctor! I asked you to stay far away, and you dare to come back. If you are targeted by someone with intentions in the house... I might as well kill you now!"

However, Yueqin held Xiangyun down and said with a little guilt: "Ah... it was my oversight and I forgot to give you some money..."

Only then did she remember that they were here to sell the baby. The old man was a victim of the disaster and was probably penniless. She took her granddaughter in without giving her a penny or a grain of food!

He only said that he would spare his life and let him fly away, but how far could he go? It would be better to just kill him.

And thinking of this, Yue Qin felt relieved... If you want to blackmail someone, it's just angry words.

No matter how brave this old man is, he wouldn't dare to come back and blackmail someone just because he has mastered this secret.

If you think about it carefully, anyone with a right mind would know that he came back to seek death.

But the old man came back without hesitation. He only came back to ask for help because his grandson was accidentally poisoned and he had no other choice. He wanted to exchange his own life for his grandson's. He was also a caring person who was not afraid of death.

This is very important because it means that even for Xueer, Jiang Shouyi will protect this secret to the death.

"Xiangyun, give him five hundred guan."

"Listen, Jiang Shouyi, this is the last time, I don't want to see you again."

"From now on, her name is Zhu Yanxue, and she is my daughter!"
