Chapter 31 Doctor
Panting, Minglan ran to the outside of Madam's courtyard and pushed open the gate!
"boom!"

The door swung open, and she hurriedly grabbed an old woman inside, gasping for breath, and asked, "Granny... Granny..."

"Do you know... Granny Zhao... and Granny Li?"

Where...where are they now?

"My mother... is still waiting for them to save her life!"

Minglan spoke haltingly, but her meaning was clear: she was looking for someone, specifically the elderly women from Madam's courtyard, Granny Zhao and Granny Li.

"Ouch!"

"so serious?"

The old woman being questioned was just a sweeper in the main wife's courtyard and didn't know much about her mistress's situation, but she was still taken aback when she heard Minglan speak like that!
However, coincidentally, she happened to know where these two people were, after all, they were old acquaintances of the eldest daughter-in-law and had quite a reputation.

"Don't be impatient, girl!"

The old nanny put down her work, helped Xiao Minglan up, and hurriedly said, "That nanny Li went back to her hometown to see her grandson today, so only nanny Zhao is here now."

"However, Granny Zhao was also dragged away to drink by Madam Guan from the kitchen, and she's probably still there!"

You should go and take a look!

The old nanny pointed and directly told Sheng Minglan the situation.

"Thank you, mama!"

Xiao Minglan didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from her brow. After sincerely saying thank you, she immediately ran to the kitchen.

But during this running process, one thought inevitably comes to mind.

"How can it always be... such a coincidence?"

……

When Minglan arrived in the kitchen looking for Granny Zhao, she found only a drunkard lying unconscious on the ground!
"Granny Zhao! Granny Zhao!"

"Wake up! Wake up!!"

Sweating profusely, Minglan grabbed the slumped-on Zhao Mama and desperately tried to wake her up!
Unfortunately!
"Oh? It's raining..."

"Thunder...it's going to rain..."

"..."

Granny Zhao was like a lump of mud, stuck to the ground no matter what Minglan tried to pull her up, but she couldn't get up!
"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Nearby, seeing that Xiao Minglan couldn't pull Zhao Mama away, Guan Niangzi from the kitchen invited her to drink wine, and then burst into laughter while holding the wine jar on the table.

"That Granny Zhao, she coveted my plum wine and got so drunk!"

"That's... hilarious!"

"Ha ha……"

In the entire kitchen, apart from a few chefs and waiters who had work to do, only Granny Zhao was drunk among the drinkers; everyone else was sober.

However, as Lady Guan was laughing, she suddenly stopped and even tightly closed her mouth, not daring to open it any further.

The reason is that at this moment, Minglan is looking at her with an extremely resentful gaze. The sharpness of her eyes and the intensity of her emotions make even an adult like her feel uneasy!

Whether it was because she had a guilty conscience or because she knew she was wrong, Guan Niangzi quickly backed down under Xiao Minglan's gaze and directly yelled at the young waiters beside her, "Are you all dead?"

"Hurry up and help Sixth Miss! Pull this Granny Zhao up!"

Lady Guan was in charge of the kitchen. She was the one who had embezzled the charcoal from Wei Xiaoniang's courtyard. Therefore, no one dared to do anything in the kitchen unless she gave the order.

"hehe!"

Lady Guan smiled ingratiatingly at Xiao Minglan, seemingly wanting to help.

However, since Granny Zhao is already so drunk, what good would it do to try to pull her away?
"Yes!"

The group of people in the kitchen didn't dare to dawdle. After quickly responding, they immediately put down what they were doing and prepared to lend a hand! "Granny Zhao!"

"Wake up!"

"Wake up..."

Minglan turned her attention back to Granny Zhao, hoping to awaken some of her consciousness and keep her clear-headed, so that she could at least give instructions on childbirth!
Unfortunately, Granny Zhao continued to cry out, "Wind! Rain!" and showed no sign of waking up at all.

"How to do?"

Seeing that Zhao Mama was useless, Minglan's brows were almost twisted into two braids!

Her cute little face was filled with worry!
"That's it! We need to find a doctor!"

"I can go and fetch a doctor!"

Unable to find a midwife, Minglan gritted her teeth and finally decided to go outside to find a doctor to diagnose her mother!
Although the customs of this world are not as feudal and rigid as those of the Ming and Qing dynasties of the past, there are still some taboos. Apart from female doctors, most others are not suitable to enter the delivery room.

After all, sometimes the reputation of the women in the family has to be considered. Besides, midwives are quite skilled in childbirth, and under normal circumstances, doctors are not needed to help.

However, times have changed. Judging from the current state of Wei Xiaoniang's pregnancy, things are probably not going well. Therefore, Xiao Minglan has no choice but to try her best to find a way out of this desperate situation!
"girl!"

Little Peach followed closely behind Little Minglan, sobbing as she watched her go looking for someone to come up with a solution.

"Xiao Tao!"

Minglan had already decided to go find a doctor, so she immediately turned around and instructed, "Go back and watch over my mother!"

"Tell her not to worry! I'll go find a doctor right away!"

"She absolutely must hold on!"

"Understand?"

"Ok!"

"I understand, young lady!"

Little Peach wiped away her tears and nodded firmly!

"Go!"

After giving Xiao Tao a push, Minglan immediately turned and ran towards the back gate of the Sheng residence!

After all, according to Xiao Minglan's memory, that was the shortest distance out of the mansion, and that route was the most time-efficient.

"Oh! Sixth Miss, this Granny Zhao..."

Behind her, Madam Guan was still shouting at the top of her lungs, seemingly trying to deliver the drunken Zhao Mama to Xiao Minglan.

However, how could Minglan have time to pay attention to her at this moment?

……

"Whoosh..."

When Xiao Minglan ran with all her might to the back door, she found that there was no one there.

There were neither servants to clean nor any watchmen, and the gate was tightly bolted shut.

Since Minglan couldn't call for help, she could only try to open the door herself, but unfortunately, she was too weak and couldn't pry open the huge bolt!

"Hmm~"

Despite their best efforts, the gate remained unmoved, as if it were a mountain, firmly fixed in place!

Cough cough... I don't have a roommate!
