Gu Qingcheng took Han Jiaojiao's hand and said seriously.

"Well, I believe in my mother!"

Han Jiaojiao was also afraid.

In the capital, she had heard of women who died in childbirth.

I have also heard that when a baby is difficult to deliver, there will be some extremely cruel in-laws who would rather save the child than the older one.

However, when her eyes met Gu Qingcheng's beautiful eyes, her panicked heart slowly calmed down.

No way!

Mother won’t ignore me!

Even if there really is a dilemma of choosing between two options, my mother will choose me.

Early that morning, when Han Jiaojiao got up, she found that there was a wet area between her legs.

My water broke!

The maids and old women were shouting and yelling, and Gu Qingcheng was startled.

She pretended to be flustered and looked dazed and at a loss as to what to do.

Or the servants trained by Zhao Qingyun are more reliable——

The maids first cleaned up the delivery room and then carried Han Jiaojiao over.

Boiling water, hiring a midwife, and even a wet nurse were all prepared in advance by the versatile and thoughtful Zhao Qingyun.

Although Zhao Qingyun was not at home, Gu Qingcheng, the "Taiyi" who had obtained the fifth-rank imperial edict thanks to her son, was thrown into disarray, but she had reliable servants.

The backyard of the top scholar's mansion is busy but not messy.

"Oh no! The fetus is too big and is stuck in the birth canal!"

By noon, Han Jiaojiao had not given birth yet, and she was almost exhausted.

Consciousness also begins to blur.

Suddenly, she heard Nanny Zhou's pleading voice, "Save the princess, you must save the princess."

You can have children again in the future.

If the princess is gone, there will be nothing left!

As an old lady who had served Princess Yongjia for several years, Nanny Zhou had long regarded this poor child as her own flesh and blood.

Seeing that she had a difficult delivery, Nanny Zhou felt both distressed and worried.

She was afraid that the Zhao family was too kind-hearted and only cared about their grandson, but ignored their daughter-in-law's life.

What do you mean as close as mother and daughter?

Until you give birth, you will never see the true face of your in-laws!

"I have a way to save both mother and child."

The midwife that Gu Qingcheng specially found said something with courage.

"What method? Tell me quickly!" Nanny Zhou asked anxiously before Gu Qingcheng.

“That’s right…”

The midwife hesitated, her method was too horrifying.

Not to mention these noble ladies, even ordinary people would not agree.

"What is it? Tell me now!"

Nanny Zhou was so anxious that she wanted to hit someone.

Seeing this, the midwife didn't dare to hesitate any longer and gestured directly, "You can use scissors to cut 'that', and then-"

Nanny Zhou's face turned dark.

She subconsciously looked at Gu Qingcheng.

That place is too private, and we are usually too embarrassed to talk about it.

But now we have to use scissors there.

Can the mother-in-law and the husband agree to this?

Gu Qingcheng nodded directly, "Okay! As long as mother and child are safe, anything is fine."

Nanny Zhou was so moved that tears rolled down her cheeks.

But she still reminded him with difficulty, "If you are too pleasant, you will be laughed at."

This is not a good thing. If people knew about it, it would become a topic of conversation among the people.

"Haven't I made enough jokes?"

Gu Qingcheng was like a person who had given up everything and spoke with confidence.

Aunt Zhou: ...Although I feel weird, I am still very touched.

Han Jiaojiao burst into tears. She knew that her mother would not care about worldly matters or reputation.

Han Jiaojiao was really satisfied that her mother-in-law could treat her like this at the critical moment of life and death.

What made her even more satisfied was yet to come. Zhao Qingyun, who had hurried back after taking a leave after receiving the news, also said firmly, "Mother is right, just save people!"

As for rumors, Zhao Qingyun didn't care at all.

Han Jiaojiao felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she seemed to no longer be able to feel the extreme pain.

She gritted her teeth, tried her best, and then—

"Wow~~"

A loud baby cry echoed throughout the Zhuangyuan Mansion.

"Young Master, it weighs nine pounds!"

Sixteen liang equals one jin, so a child weighing nine jin looks a lot bigger than a normal-sized baby.

Seeing such a big child, Aunt Zhou was both happy and scared.

Fortunately, the Zhao family's mother and son were understanding and agreed to let the midwife "do whatever she wants", otherwise, their princess would definitely not be able to give birth to such a big child.

If you don't handle it properly, there will be two deaths.

Han Jiaojiao's delivery this time was definitely a safe and uneventful one.

Afterwards, Nanny Zhou said to Han Jiaojiao with lingering feelings, "Princess, let's not have any more children in the future."

Having a son is a relief to the Zhao family.

From now on, my princess should not take any more risks.

Han Jiaojiao, who fainted from exhaustion and then woke up again, did not live up to the excruciating pain she had experienced during childbirth.

She even eagerly discussed with Gu Qingcheng, "Mother, I want to have another daughter, preferably one who looks like you!"

Even if I can't compare to my mother-in-law's stunning beauty, I still want to be like my husband.

Oh, when she thought of having a soft and sweet little girl, Han Jiaojiao wanted to pull Zhao Qingyun into the room immediately...
