Chapter 1 The Death of the Countess

In September, late at night, the entire imperial capital took off the flashy and noisy coat of the day, and it was extremely quiet, most of the houses were already lit up, but there was one family that was brightly lit and lively at the moment, and this family was the mansion of the famous nobleman in the entire Yarrow Empire, Lord Situ Nan.

At this moment, I saw that in the innermost inner courtyard of the Earl's Palace, the guards and maids were going in and out, busy, with a nervous and somewhat helpless expression on their faces.

In the middle of the inner courtyard, there is a quaint Taishi chair, but no one is sitting on it at this time, and the person who should be sitting on this chair is the mother of Earl Situ Nan - Old Madam Situ, and now, the old lady is standing at the door of the main entrance of the inner courtyard with an anxious face.

The old lady is not tall, and the layers of wrinkles on her face are obvious to tell her about the years she has experienced, wearing a dark green simple short robe, which looks no different from the clothes worn by ordinary women, but as long as she sees the old lady's small but clear eyes, no one will doubt the wisdom of the old lady, which is a pair of eyes that have precipitated the years and opened the world. But these eyes are rarely mixed with a trace of anxiety at the moment.

What is it that makes this old lady who has seen everything so anxious? It turns out that tonight is the day when Countess Stuart Olive gives birth, and it seems that even the old lady who has experienced countless things does not dare to be careless in the face of the imminent acquisition of her beloved grandson.

"Ahh

"-squeak"

The door opened, and out of it came a maid, panicked and sweaty, and before she could speak, the old lady had already taken a step forward and asked, "How is the lady?"

As soon as the maid opened her mouth, her tone was already full of tears: "The doctor said that the lady has not been born for so long, and her strength is approaching, and she may not be able to regenerate."

"What?" Before the maid could finish speaking, the old lady had already interrupted: "You go in for me and tell the doctor that no matter what method she uses, she must let the lady give birth smoothly, otherwise the old woman and I will not be able to spare her!"

"Yes!" said the maid, and hurried back into the house.

"Hut!" the old lady suddenly shouted to a blue-eyed, blue-haired, thick-eyed and long-faced guard standing in the courtyard.

"Yes!" replied the guard, as he hurried to the old lady's side.

"I asked you to send someone to find your family, Lord Earl, have you gone?"

"Go, old lady. Hurt had a bitter face.

"How long has it been since I went?Ah? Why haven't others come back yet?" the old lady looked angry.

"Old lady" Hetnono was silent for a long time, but he couldn't say anything, in fact, he had sent four people in a row to urge Situ Nan, but Situ Nan didn't come back, and he said that no matter how much he wanted, it was in vain.

"Hmph, you go to find him for me personally, you must find him back for me, otherwise you will be good-looking. The old lady had just finished speaking, when she suddenly heard another shout from inside: "Ahhh

Hearing this voice, the old lady's face became more and more ugly, and when she saw that Hurt was still in place, she immediately turned her head and said loudly: "Don't go quickly!"

Hurt didn't dare to say more, so he hurried and ran out of the yard.

Because Situ Nan is currently the deputy commander-in-chief of the military department of the imperial court, responsible for handling military affairs, and is usually in the barracks, so Hurt went out of the Earl's Palace, and rode all the way to the barracks.

Compared with the hectic situation at home at this time, Situ Nan's military camp is quiet and unusual, although he is in his thirties, Situ Nan looks very young, with black hair and blue eyes, and a tall figure, it is said that this earl was quite sought-after before he got married, and many women were heartbroken after hearing the news that he was going to get married.

At this moment, the earl was dressed in a light blue military uniform, sitting at his desk, with his head bowed and not knowing what he was writing, Hurt's arrival did not make the count raise his head, if it was usual, Hurt would definitely not interrupt the earl, but now he can't care so much.

"My lord, Madame is about to give birth, and the old lady has sent a message to you to go back quickly!"

After being quiet for a while, Situ Nan finally raised his head, he glanced at Hutt with a dusty face, and then put the pen on the table, and said, "It's just a woman giving birth, what are you making a fuss about, how many times have you tossed this night? What's the use of telling me to go back? Can I give birth to a child for her?"

"Lord Earl, Madame has been holding out for a few hours, but she hasn't given birth yet, so you better go back and have a look!" Facing the count's invisible coercion, Hurt gritted his teeth.

Raising his eyes and looking at Het, Situ Nan said: "I have military affairs now, I can't go back, you go back first, if the old lady asks, you can tell her directly that I'm busy!"

"My lord" Hurt wanted to say something more, but seeing Situ Nan's expression, he knew that it was useless even if he continued to speak, and after a while, he finally sighed, turned around and walked out of the barracks.

Meanwhile, in the Earl's Palace, after more than four hours of screaming, the cry of a little life finally arrived.

"Wow Wow"

In the room where Oliver gave birth, everyone was relieved to see the newborn baby boy, there was a woman in a white robe, who looked to be in her fifties, this woman was the female doctor who delivered the baby for the countess this time, the female doctor carefully wrapped the baby in her hand, and was about to let people go out to tell the old lady, at this moment, the whole room suddenly went dark, and the next second, the female doctor only felt that her hand was light and then the room suddenly lit up again.

"Ahh Everyone reacted to this call, and they immediately panicked. This thing is too evil, why is the child who was still in front of him just now gone in the blink of an eye?

The female doctor was stunned for a long time, and was just about to run out to tell the old lady, when suddenly, the little maid who was standing next to her shouted again: "Ah, doctor, look, the lady has shed a lot of blood!"

Hey, this is really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave, the child has just gone, and the mother is in trouble again, the female doctor didn't dare to delay, and said, "Let me see what's going on." After speaking, he immediately added a sentence: "Go out first and tell the old lady personally, and say that the child is gone." ”

Mrs. Situ, who is over sixty years old, has seen all the winds and waves in her life, but on this night, it was the most helpless time she had ever had, a quarter of an hour ago she heard two children's cries in the room, and not long after her heart was relieved, a maid ran out and told her that the newborn child was gone for no reason, although she felt unbelievable, but she still quickly sent all the manpower of the family to find her newborn grandson, and was about to send someone to inform her son to hurry up and find a way to find the child, the female doctor came out of the room, and told her that Oliver had not been rescued due to excessive blood loss and had passed away。

These two news made the old lady suddenly feel like she was a teenager old, and she walked tremblingly to the Taishi chair, and the old lady sat down on the Taishi chair.

"Old lady" Hurt also rushed back at this time, the old lady looked up, saw that Hurt was wet, only to find that it had rained sometime, and she had not found it.

"Old lady," the rain ran down Hutt's hair down his cheeks, and his voice was a little hoarse, "it was my incompetence that I didn't get the Earl back."

Hurt wanted to say something, but saw the old lady's eyes glazed for a while, and suddenly said, "Olive, it's me, the old woman, who hurt you."
