Because Wu Gang's wife was about to give birth, the Wang family had already arranged for a midwife and a doctor in advance.

Wu Gang's wife was groaning in pain inside the house, while Wang Wu Gang paced anxiously in the yard.

Over the past two years, his wife has worked diligently in the business and has been filial to her parents. The couple has a very good relationship.

Wu Gang is extremely anxious now that his wife is having a difficult childbirth.

Seeing Yan Qingqing and her mother come in together, Wang Wugang's eyes immediately reddened, and he said, "Sister-in-law, will my wife die?"

Before Yan Qingqing could speak, Aunt Wang spat and said, "You little rascal, what nonsense are you spouting?"

I've brought some ginseng slices; have your wife suck on them, and she'll give birth soon.

Xiang Ping's wife also had a difficult childbirth last time, but she still managed to give birth smoothly in the end.

Although Aunt Wang said that, she was also very scared. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman.

Having lived to such an old age, she has witnessed many cases of mothers and unborn children dying together.

But if this actually happened to one's own family member, it would be very difficult to accept.

Yan Qingqing glanced at the delivery room, then at the mother and child, and said, "Auntie, let me go in and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang quickly said, "How can that be? The delivery room is filthy; it's not a place for someone of your current status to go in."

Although Aunt Wang really wanted Yan Qingqing to go in, she also knew that Yan Qingqing's status was no longer what it used to be.

If she hadn't been on good terms with Yan Qingqing, Yan Qingqing wouldn't have given her even these ginseng slices, let alone let her enter the delivery room.

Ancient people were superstitious, believing that the birthing room was filled with the smell of blood and was unclean, which would affect other people's luck. Therefore, men generally did not enter the birthing room. Moreover, Yan Qingqing was now a noblewoman.

Upon hearing this, Yan Qingqing laughed and said, "Auntie, I've never believed in that."

Moreover, this is a newborn baby, a symbol of hope. Even if it were to be touched, it would only bring joy. Besides, saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda.

Aunt Wang said gratefully, "Qingqing, thank you so much. If Wu Gang's wife survives this ordeal, I will definitely offer you a longevity tablet."

Yan Qingqing smiled and didn't say anything more. In fact, she knew more or less what Aunt Wang was thinking.

Aunt Wang's trip to her house wasn't solely for the ginseng; it was probably because she had heard about Yuan Huiniang's difficult childbirth, that she had stayed with her in the delivery room, and that she had ultimately advocated for surgery, which ensured the safety of both Yuan Huiniang and her child.

It would have been fine if Yan Qingqing hadn't known about this, but now that she did, how could she just sit idly by?

When Yan Qingqing was about to enter the delivery room, Aunt Wang gritted her teeth and followed her in. It was unreasonable for Yan Qingqing not to mind the filth in their delivery room, but for her, as the mother-in-law, to be disgusted.

Yan Qingqing startled the doctor in the outer room and the midwife in the inner room when she entered the delivery room.

They all recognized Yan Qingqing; she was the highest-ranking official in their Chengyang County, several ranks higher than the county magistrate.

Although they had heard that Yan Qingqing was a kind person, she was not someone that ordinary people like them could get close to.

So everyone was in a hurry to pay their respects to Yan Qingqing.

Yan Qingqing quickly raised her hand to stop them, saying, "Alright, saving lives is the priority, there's no need for such formalities."

I brought the ginseng. Doctor, just write the prescription according to your needs. Also, please feel free to order any other medicinal herbs you require; I have plenty in my storeroom.

"Midwife, you also need to use your best skills to ensure the safety of both mother and child."

Time was of the essence, so Yan Qingqing finished speaking in one breath to avoid wasting time.

The doctor and midwife quickly agreed.

Yan Qingqing didn't want to use a knife unless absolutely necessary.

After all, medical conditions were limited in ancient times, and surgery carried the risk of infection, which could cause problems later on.

The doctor and midwife quickly agreed after hearing Yan Qingqing's words.

The doctor prescribed two prescriptions, which Yan Qingqing didn't quite understand, but they both looked like medicines to enhance physical strength, replenish blood, and boost energy.

Yan Qingqing and Aunt Wang followed the midwife into the inner room.

Wu Gang's wife was already sweating profusely from the pain.

Upon seeing Yan Qingqing and the others, they even considered getting up to greet them.

Aunt Wang quickly stepped forward and pressed her down, saying, "You child, you're already in so much pain, why are you being so formal?"

Your sister-in-law isn't an outsider; she came all this way to see you.

After a while of pain subsided, Wu Gang's wife took a breath and said, "Mother, sister-in-law, this delivery room is filthy, you should both leave."

It's all my fault for being unlucky. Since I came to our family, not only has Wu Gang treated me well, but my mother has also treated me like her own daughter.

I originally planned to have children with Wu Gang and spend my life with him, but…”

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Before Wu Gang's wife could finish speaking, Yan Qingqing interrupted her.

Then, after taking a breath, she said, "This is your first pregnancy, so naturally it will take longer. Some people can't give birth for several days."

Besides, with your sister-in-law here, what are you afraid of?

Xiang Ping's wife also had a difficult labor when she gave birth to Jinqian, but both mother and child were safe and sound. So, sister-in-law, you can rest assured.

Yan Qingqing's words were half true and half false, but Wang Wugang's wife's eyes immediately lit up with hope upon hearing them.

Giving birth depends entirely on her willpower; once she gives up, how could she possibly give birth?

Wu Gang's wife nodded and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I won't give up."

With my sister-in-law here, I feel more confident.

The doctor quickly prepared the medicine. It was unclear whether the medicine worked or Yan Qingqing's words had an effect.

After Wu Gang's wife drank the medicine, her whole mental state changed.

Yan Qingqing and Aunt Wang stayed inside the house the whole time.

The midwife used all her skills and finally gave birth to a baby boy successfully at nightfall.

However, Wu Gang's wife suffered greatly, and according to the doctor, it is still unknown whether she will be able to have children in the future.

However, Aunt Wang couldn't care less about that now; all she cared about was that the mother and child were safe.

When she heard the baby crying, she excitedly grabbed Yan Qingqing's arm and said, "It's born! It's born! It's finally born!"

Yan Qingqing was also happy and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Auntie, on the birth of your great grandson!"

Aunt Wang held Yan Qingqing's hand and said, "Qingqing, we really owe you a lot. I really want to thank you. You are a great contributor to our family."

Yan Qingqing laughed and said, "Auntie, you're wrong. The biggest contributor to your family is Wu Gang's wife. Without her, you wouldn't be able to hold this big, fat grandson."

Aunt Wang was taken aback when she heard this, then smiled and said, "You're right, the biggest contributor is Wu Gang's wife."

Although Aunt Wang already has several grandchildren, she still cherishes them dearly, especially now that her family is doing better, she feels that having more children is a blessing.

The midwife quickly brought the baby out. Perhaps because Wu Gang's wife had been well-nourished during her pregnancy, the baby was quite chubby. However, because the baby had been in the womb for so long, its face was a little pale.

After taking the child, Aunt Wang smiled and said, "This child is so good-looking, just like Wu Gang when he was little."

Yan Qingqing's lips twitched; she really hadn't noticed.
