Chapter 1268: Chapter 1263: Madam’s Difficult Labor

Xiao Muyan had been tortured for a whole day and night and still had not uttered a word, at this moment the things were thrown in front of him by Xiao Yu, she furrowed her brows with hatred, “Xiao Yu! You actually managed to find out!”

She had destroyed everything that should have been destroyed, this secret letter… from where had Xiao Yu obtained it!

Xiao Yu looked down on him from a superior position, his face calm and composed, “As the head of the Xiao family, I have a clear understanding of everything that happens within this house. Your collusion with Ji Yun Country is not something the Xiao family can deal with internally, I will hand you over to the emperor to preserve the Xiao family’s reputation!”

Colluding with foreign and domestic enemies is a cardinal sin against the nation!

Xiao Muyan and his brother Xiao Hui both must be handed over to Chu Yihan for investigation and disposal.

The Xiao family will not tolerate such a scourge!

...

“No! Xiao Yu you can’t do this to me! I am your own brother, yet you actually want to send me to my death! Xiao Yu!”

Xiao Muyan’s voice roared like an evil spirit, yet Xiao Yu had already walked out of the secret room.

Xiao Si was waiting outside the door, and he reported to him, “Young master, aside from the second steward, there are many others in the family who are partisans of the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master has handled a large number of trading items, involving many people. Many proprietors in the shops are also involved, should we deal with all of them?”

The businesses that Xiao Muyan had handled over the years were numerous and widespread; to dispose of all of them at once would also cause internal damage to the Xiao family.

Xiao Yu made a decisive decision, “Send someone to bring all of them to the Xiao family, tie them up, and after Yan’er gives birth, send them all to Jiang Du City together, to be dealt with by the emperor.”

“To Jiang Du City?” Xiao Si felt that something was not quite right, “We are far from Jiang Du City, I fear there might be accidents on the way, wouldn’t it be better to hand them over to the prefectural governor first?”

“The prefectural governor may not be uninvolved in the collusion. To move such a large quantity of silver out of the Great Cheng Dynasty, the people from Ji Yun Country must have already infiltrated deep within the nation, and it is unclear how Xiao Muyan communicated with them. We must also guard against leaking Xiao Muyan’s movements; I will first write a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to send people in secret to meet us.”

Xiao Yu had plans well in advance, and after writing a letter for Xiao Si to dispatch, he also thought of Xiao Qingyu.

Xiao Qingyu was overseeing the Xiao family’s business in Yangzhou, not far from Hangzhou. He instructed Xiao Qingyu to keep an eye on Xiao Hui and not to let him cause trouble in Yangzhou City, and to wait until after the emperor’s judgment to take action.

Xiao Si had also suggested to Xiao Yu, “Eldest Young Master could completely ask the Seventh Young Master to help you watch over the house, so you can focus on escorting the people to Jiang Du City. The Seventh Young Master is reliable, and the madam will be safe under his care.”

Xiao Yu had considered it, but recalling Su Miaoyan, he still did not inform Xiao Qingyu of the family matters, instead just instructing him to take good care in Yangzhou.

After dealing with these matters, Xiao Yu was about to see Su Miaoyan when a servant sent by Aunt Yin arrived, “Young master, the young madam went into labor after noon, and now she has started giving birth, the Doctor and midwife are both here.”

Xiao Yu furrowed his brows, “Why only inform me now?”

He walked briskly towards his own courtyard, with Xiao Si hastily following behind.

The entire Xiao family had never had a moment of panic, for all matters had an order to be dealt with, truly no need for panic.

But when Su Miaoyan was giving birth, there was indeed a moment of real panic in the courtyard.

Because their family head, Xiao Yu, was the first to panic.

Su Miaoyan had not been able to give birth for two hours, the Doctor had stewed two bowls of ginseng soup for her to drink down, yet she no longer had the strength to continue.

Xiao Yu stood outside the birthing room, his hands clenched until they turned white.

Aunt Yin came out dripping with sweat, “Young master, the young madam might face some danger, the Doctor says she is young and the baby is in an incorrect position, she is now unconscious and lacks the strength to continue, the situation is indeed dire, please make a decision, young master.”
