The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 416

Steward Ye learned a little information from their language, and it matched the date he knew.

Judging from what they said, the young master might just be a cousin, but why did he always feel that the young master has the shadow of the old master.

Steward Ye has already learned from them that my aunt did not return to her mother's house back then, and who gave birth to my aunt?

The situation here has not been discovered before, so I will investigate.

The more you investigate now, the more doubts you have!
Old Steward Ye could only take people back to the manor to check the place where his aunt gave birth. At that time, he hadn't thought about it so much and didn't check the midwife.

On the second day, Old Butler Ye took people to check the inn back then, and found out what kind of midwife had gone in there.

The time has passed too long, maybe the inn has been operated by another person, and the midwife at that time may no longer be alive.

Old Butler Ye was in the manor last night, and also quietly chatted with Hongji's brother-in-law.

This brother-in-law was not from the same village, so no useful news could be heard from him.

I also inquired from an employee in the same village in the manor, and just in the way of chatting, I heard that the young master's mother and father had a baby, and everyone in the village knew about it.

Some people have seen Hongji's mother with a big belly.

Hongji's parents hired a carriage to take them home and it was dark at night. No one knew that their babies were born outside. They thought they didn't hire a midwife and they were born at home.

Others praised Lai's good fertility, and she was able to give birth independently without a midwife.

Old Butler Ye could only investigate from the county seat first, and then go to Bushen Village to investigate. He could only ask the older generation if he didn't know anything about what happened ten years ago.

With so many guards, the old housekeeper made a secret investigation and found the inn in the county seat.

The old butler brought so many people to the inn, the innkeeper and the staff thought they were staying at the inn, not staying at the inn, but also came to have breakfast and consumption, but they didn't expect to come to ask questions!
The shopkeeper is a little hesitant. How can you not give me any meaning when you ask me?

The shopkeeper made a gesture with his expression, and the old butler immediately understood that the other party wanted money before he spoke.

I also think that if you can ask for valuable information, it is worth spending a little money!

"Shopkeeper, give me a private room, serve a pot of tea, nothing else!"

The old housekeeper and the guards had breakfast in the manor before going to the county seat.

"Man, come and serve tea!" Of course the shopkeeper has to entertain, the other party doesn't eat, and they have to consume if they have a private room, and the tea is charged for the tea seat.

The man served tea to the old butler, and the other guards either guarded the horse or stood beside the old butler.

Their tall and straight figures give people a sense of majesty at first sight.

"Guest officer, what do you want to ask?"

The old butler asked the shopkeeper what happened on a certain day more than 30 years ago.

The old shopkeeper was a little dumbfounded, who remembers what happened more than 30 years ago?

"Guest, what you asked is too far away, can you point out which guest was that day and tell me about the person's appearance and what are the characteristics of staying in our inn?"

The old housekeeper said that on that day, my aunt lived here and gave birth here. Did she hire a midwife?
The memory of the shopkeeper, it seems that there was a woman who came from other places more than 30 years ago, who came by carriage, everyone's belly.

He can remember clearly because there is only one time in the past few decades that a pregnant woman has lived here and given birth.

"Guest, if you put it this way, I was working as a waiter in this inn at the time, and I did entertain a female guest who had a stomachache to stay in the inn."

"Then tell me, did the female guest hire a midwife?"

"Yes, but it was not invited by a female guest, but by a relative of a female guest. When this relative came to meet the female guest, a woman with a big belly came in. Then they didn't know why they were arguing. I got up, and then cried out that it hurts!"

Hearing this, the old housekeeper could already guess whether the two pregnant women would give birth together?And then the baby switched?
This is just his guess. Who is the other pregnant woman?
My aunt asked a male relative to come, who is this male relative?

Could it be the young master's father?

"Did they hire a midwife?"

The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, the two women cried out for pain together. At that time, the male customer panicked and asked me if there is anyone nearby who specializes in delivering babies."

"Did you tell him then?"

"I'm just a guy. I was still young at that time. How could I know this? I asked him to ask the shopkeeper!"

"Is the shopkeeper still there?"

"Yes, yes, the shopkeeper is my father-in-law. I work as a clerk here. Later, I married the shopkeeper's daughter and took over his class as the shopkeeper."

"That means you are the owner of this store?"

"No, this shop is owned by the Tang family, and I'm just the shopkeeper."

"Then do you know who the midwife is?"

"The situation that happened at that time was too strange. Later, I heard from my father-in-law that the midwife was in this street, the fifth house in the alley of the East Gate. She was a woman who specialized in midwifery. Later, my daughter-in-law gave birth to her. her."

"Did you ask the midwife afterwards whether the child born to those two women was a boy or a girl?"

"I didn't ask about this, guest, you should ask the midwife."

The shopkeeper had made the information very clear, the old housekeeper could only give him money, and then brought the guards to the fifth house in the alley inside the east gate.

The alley is not very big, so many horses and guards can't go in together, so they can only let them watch the horses on the side of the street, and bring two guards to find the house together.

When he came to the door, the door of the midwife was closed, so he could only knock on the door "dong dong dong".

A voice came from inside: "Come here, who is it!"

The footsteps of a woman's voice were a bit heavy, and she looked a little limping, and the other party opened the door with a "ah".

Seeing that it was a stranger, the mother-in-law was taken aback.

"Who are you looking for? Why don't I know you?"

"Sister-in-law, are you a midwife?"

The old housekeeper looked at this person's appearance, his hair was already gray, the sound of walking just now might be due to leg problems.

Elderly women, I don't know whether it is the root cause of the disease that fell when I was young, or because of a fall, my face is haggard, wrinkled, and there are some age spots.

"Are you here to find a midwife? I'm too old to deliver babies. You should go find someone else!"

Originally, this skill of midwives could be passed on to the younger generation, and the skills of midwifery should not be wasted. Unfortunately, the son failed to live up to expectations, and the daughter-in-law died during childbirth.

The son was in debt and his wife died. Not only did he put all his money into the debt, but the other party injured his son and his wife as well.

Later, this careless person went to gamble and was beaten to death in the end.

It's a pity that she, an old mother, has to take her grandson with her. If it wasn't for her grandson, she would want to die if she was sick all over her body.
