Capítulo 1047: Chapter 1045_1

In the end, Shangguan Xuanyi selected a midwife. He meticulously inquired about her ancestry down to the third generation, then instructed Zhao Yong to verify her family line across five generations, both maternal and paternal, to determine whether she had been truthful.

If she indeed hadn't lied, she could then potentially serve as Xiao'er's midwife during her labor. Starting today, this midwife could live in a courtyard designated by Shangguan Xuanyi. She wouldn't need to do anything, and she would receive one tael of silver each month until Xiao'er gave birth. If Xiao'er successfully delivered her child and both mother and child were safe, there would be an additional reward of 100 taels of silver.

Moreover, all the gifts from friends and relatives for the baby's first bath would belong to the midwife.
