Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Old Li and Mei Jiangyi carefully considered the details of the cesarean section several times before finally deciding to deliver the baby for Cui two days later.

During these two days, everyone needs to rest and recuperate to prepare for the surgery two days later.

In the past few days, Cui and Consort Sun have moved from Ruyi Inn to the Crown Prince's estate and settled in a pre-prepared room.

Accompanying them was Shangguan Yuqing, who was disguised as Aunt Shen.

She herself was extremely unwilling to come, but she couldn't even find a reason to refuse. After Zhao Ci's repeated requests, she had no choice but to invite Cui Shi to the estate.

This outcome was exactly what Yan Shijin wanted.

He glanced at Granny Shen from afar, his expression remaining unchanged.

Now that she's entered this estate, she can forget about sneaking out unnoticed.

He wanted to see what this eighth princess of Shuo Kingdom was really up to.

Yun Shengsheng was also pleasantly surprised that she came. After several attempts to test her, she was certain that Shangguan Yuqing was from another world, but she didn't know if she came from the same world as her.

The fluffy system perched on Yun Shengsheng's shoulder: "Does the host want to acknowledge her as his wife?"

Yun Shengsheng raised an eyebrow: [Recognize her? What relationship do I have with her that I need to recognize her?]

System: "You are all from another world. Don't you, host, feel the excitement of meeting old friends in a foreign land?"

Yun Shengsheng pouted: 【No, not at all! I'm avoiding her like the plague!】

[What if she's as stupid and wicked as the original female lead? Recognizing her would be digging a hole for myself!]

Therefore, without knowing her background, while I won't take action against her, I also won't rush to help her.

[By the way, System, can you find out about her past? Does she have a system?]

The system's large eyes glazed over for a moment, then it shook its head: "At my current level, I can only tell that she either doesn't have a system, or her system level is higher than mine. As for her past, I can only find out that she came to this world about five and a half years ago."

"She is the daughter of a member of the Shuo Kingdom's royal family, not the daughter of the Shuo Kingdom's emperor. She is very clever. She also managed to seize this opportunity to come to the Da Xuan Kingdom by herself, replacing the real Eighth Princess."

"Furthermore, it was she who proposed the marriage alliance during the mission to Da Xuan."

Yun Shengsheng frowned: [It seems she's not stupid, but rather quite clever. I should be even more careful. System, continue to keep an eye on her, and remember to let me know if anything happens.]

The system nodded: "Okay, host, don't worry!"

Old Cui was a man who couldn't sit still. He simply took advantage of these two days to practice the cesarean section technique several times over.

He wouldn't listen to anyone who advised him to rest.

The farmers who brought their livestock had been squatting nearby watching them perform cesarean sections on pigs, sheep, and mules for the past few days, finding it both amazing and exciting.

These people have raised livestock for generations. When the female animals have difficult births, they can only watch helplessly as they lose everything, big and small, and all their hard work throughout the year goes down the drain.

Now, seeing these doctors holding knives and needles, cutting open the abdomen, taking out the babies, and stitching up the wounds, both big and small are alive, how could they not be excited?

Among them are two brothers, the elder brother Zhang Tian and the younger brother Zhang Shuo, both in their early twenties. They are both semi-veterinarians, and they usually help administer medicine and injections to any livestock in the village that get sick.

The two watched for several days, their desire growing stronger with each glance. Finally, they mustered their courage, humbly approached Master Cui, and asked to become his apprentices.

They didn't dare to hope to learn any skills to treat people's illnesses; they just wanted Old Cui to teach them how to perform cesarean sections on animals that were having difficult births. They would be content if they could help the villagers lose fewer animals.

Old Master Cui was bored practicing alone, and seeing that these two were honest, hardworking, and genuinely eager to learn, he simply took them on as temporary apprentices.

He didn't look down on the two of them because they came from humble backgrounds, and taught them with exceptional care.

He emphasized the disinfection and handwashing procedures repeatedly, and even had the two of them demonstrate them to him on the spot. If they made a mistake, they had to start over until he was satisfied with their work.

Zhang Tian and Zhang Shuo were both rough and clumsy, but they were very serious and learned things quickly and steadily.

For two days, they followed Old Cui almost every step of the way. Even when Old Cui went to rest, the two of them squatted together and tested each other.

Neither of them knew many words, but they managed to memorize the entire procedure of cesarean section by copying notes and drawing symbols from each other.

Old Cui was pleasantly surprised. Although the two were quite old, their dedication and serious attitude towards medicine were truly admirable. Finally, Old Cui asked them if they wanted to learn how to treat patients.

Overjoyed, the two wept and immediately kowtowed to become his disciples.

He officially became Master Cui's disciple.

Old Li stroked his beard, looking somewhat displeased.

What a pity, Old Cui got lucky...

Yun Shengsheng hasn't been idle these past two days either, because it's time for Liu Yi to come and see her again.

She took a carriage to Tianpin Teahouse, where Liu Yi waited for her in his usual spot by the window on the second floor, with two bowls of tea and a plate of snacks that she never touched.

The box he pushed over contained exactly ten thousand taels of silver notes.

Yun Sheng took the box with practiced ease, put it in her pocket, and then looked up at Liu Yi.

At this moment, Liu Yi looked several years older than when they last met.

The number of white strands in his hair increased from 30% to 50%, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became deeper and denser, as if someone had carved more lines on his face with a knife.

What caught her attention even more was his gaze. The composure and arrogance he once displayed as a prince consort had almost completely faded, replaced by a subtle eagerness and anxiety.

Yun Shengsheng understood after a little thought.

The eldest princess's younger brother is now the emperor. Back then, Liu Yi kept a mistress and fathered an illegitimate child, trampling the eldest princess's dignity into the ground. This matter is known throughout the capital.

How could the new emperor not deal with him?

However, the new emperor had just ascended the throne and was busy with many matters, so he hadn't yet had time to deal with this good-for-nothing brother-in-law.

But Liu Yi knew perfectly well that once the new emperor finished his busy work, the first person he would settle scores with would be him.

That's why he was even more anxious.

He hoped that the eldest princess would fall ill quickly, preferably so ill that she would never wake up, so that he could rightfully enter the princess's residence as her husband, take care of his sick wife, and take control of the princess's residence.

The eldest of the three children, the heir, is only seventeen years old and not yet married. So, isn't he the one who calls the shots in the entire princess's residence?

He had recently heard that the eldest princess was unwell, but he had no idea how serious her illness was.

The people around the princess were extremely loyal to her. Over the years, he had tried to plant spies in the princess's residence countless times, but he had never succeeded. He knew nothing about the current situation in the princess's residence.

The only reliable source of support is this five-year-old girl.

"Miss Yun, how is the Princess doing lately? It's been so long, I'm a little worried about her."

Seeing the calculating look in his eyes, Yun Shengsheng immediately put on a heartbroken expression.

"Uncle Prince Consort, alas, Princess Auntie hasn't been feeling well lately. When I visited her, she looked unwell and spoke weakly..."
