Chapter 365 You Must Live

"Young lady, you're really amazing. Could you touch me a little longer?"

Granny Zhang took a deep breath. After all, she was a midwife, and the last thing she wanted to see was two lives lost...

No, that's three lives lost in one pregnancy!

"Okay!" Little Su Bao nodded obediently, placing her little hand on the mother's belly.

"Auntie, don't be afraid. The little brother is very good. The little sister is having a hard time, so please try your best!"

The little dumpling was like a chanting monk, its little mouth chattering away non-stop.

The woman, who had felt she was about to die and was about to run out of strength, took a deep look at her baby and felt her strength return.

Even if it meant her death, she couldn't let anything happen to her husband's children, so that she could give birth to two children for him.

Her husband had died in battle, and no one wanted her to have this child, so she insisted on leaving an heir for her husband.

“Very good, very good, we can see the child’s head, madam, take a deep breath, yes, that’s it…” Granny Zhang shouted excitedly.

You know, she had already given up hope, but now!

Granny Zhang was surprised, but she couldn't say anything at that moment; she could only encourage the woman in labor.

"Little brother, come out quickly, don't hurt your mother, she's in so much pain!"

The little baby was babbling softly towards the huge belly.

Seemingly sensing something, Xiao Su Bao frowned slightly, then raised her hand and lightly tapped the mother's stomach!

Granny Zhang happened to peek out and was nearly scared to death by what she saw.

She was about to scold Xiao Su Bao when she suddenly sensed something and quickly looked back into the blankets.

"It's born! It's born!" Her eyes were full of surprise, and her body trembled with excitement for me.

Madam Qian, who was standing nearby, breathed a sigh of relief. While wiping the sweat off the new mother, she said, "You look like a lucky one. You must hold on. This child will be so pitiful if he doesn't have a mother!"

The woman was almost completely exhausted from giving birth to her first child, but upon hearing Qian's words, her cloudy eyes instantly lit up.

She had to give birth to the child; she had to live!

Little Su Bao breathed a slight sigh of relief; the dark aura on the aunt's stomach had dissipated.

She reached out and pressed down, and received a slight response from inside.

Little Su Bao's eyes lit up as she stared intently at the new mother's belly, her eyebrows curving into smiles.

"Auntie, my little sister is so good! Keep it up, my little sister likes you too!" Little Su Bao raised her eyes and looked at the wet new mother.

The little girl was pretty and had a pleasant voice. In particular, when she spoke, she could inexplicably calm people down.

Qian heard the little dumpling's voice and her lips twitched.

This child is really...

She's incredibly brave. Even most married women are afraid to see others give birth, but Little Su Bao isn't afraid at all.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but the new mother seemed to feel better when her baby was talking.

"Madam, please take this child out and clean him up. I still need to continue delivering babies!" Granny Zhang said to Madam Qian.

Madam Qian nodded, and she reached out to wrap the newborn baby in a red cloth.

Then he said to Xiao Su Bao, "Su Bao, slow down. If anything happens, go to your master or the others, okay?"

Little Su Bao nodded obediently to Madam Qian, but her little hands started playing with the baby in her belly.

Fortunately, there was already boiling water outside, and there were other doctors there as well.

Madam Qian, carrying the child, lifted the curtain and came out. She glanced at the baby in her arms.

I wiped his cheeks with a clean handkerchief and then wiped the water from the corners of his mouth.

They poked around in the little guy's mouth, and suddenly, the little guy burst into tears.

The loud voice made the woman in labor open her eyes instantly, her gaze fixed on the outside of the tent.

Wang Mingtian and Doctor Song, who were standing nearby, both looked over. Doctor Song, in particular, had heard a little bit about it from his master.

This child is extraordinary!

"Is the baby alright? It's a son..." Dr. Song asked, leaning closer.

While wiping the vernix caseosa off his body with clean, warm water, Madam Qian said, "Hmm, it's a son. He's quite heavy."

Wang Mingtian nodded, but his gaze fell on the curtain as he said, "Clean the child up and take her to her mother to see!"

Ms. Qian nodded. She handled it quickly because the child was small and couldn't be washed for too long.

In a few quick movements, Madam Qian changed the little one into a clean cloth, wrapped him up, and carried him inside.

She didn't wrap the baby in too thick a blanket, because in June, a thick blanket would make the baby too hot.

"How is my child?" came the woman's weak voice; her face was deathly pale.

"This child is in good health, it's a son, fair-skinned and very well-behaved!" Madam Qian said with a smile, her brows softening.

The new mother breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at Xiao Su Bao and Granny Zhang, saying, "Thank you!"

"Madam, this is not the time for you to think about these things. There's another one in your belly. Take a breath and let's continue!" After successfully delivering her first child, Granny Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Xiao Su Bao, opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn't speak.

Qian placed the baby next to the new mother, who glanced at her son with a hint of joy in her eyes.

"The ginseng soup is here!" a voice called from outside.

Wang Mingtian raised an eyebrow and told Doctor Song to open the door.

A young maidservant walked in with her head down, carrying a bowl of ginseng soup.

"How is our mistress?" the maid asked softly, seemingly frightened.

"It's nothing serious. Didn't you say there was no ginseng? How did you manage to get ginseng soup so quickly?" Doctor Song frowned as he looked at the maid.

The young girl paused slightly in her hand holding the handkerchief, but still said, "This servant just spent all the silver I had on me to buy a few slices of ginseng. As soon as I finished cooking them, I came here without stopping!"

Judging from what she's saying right now, it really doesn't seem like there's anything wrong!

but……

Wang Mingtian looked at the bowl of dark soup, a strange glint in his eyes.

The young maid ignored the two doctors and walked straight past them into the tent.

As soon as she stepped into the tent, she saw the baby lying next to the woman.

A strange light flashed in her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the child rushed towards the mother, crying and sobbing.

Because Ms. Qian was in front of the bed, she was completely blocked from view.

"Madam, you scared Xiao Cui to death!" Xiao Cui's eyes were full of tears, but her hands holding the medicine were very steady.

Little Su Bao subconsciously turned her head to look over, her big eyes widening even more.

This maid was dressed entirely in black; she looked terrifying.

Little Su Bao looked at the new mother again. The new mother, who had been in good condition, now had dark aura slowly appearing on her head.

Not only her, but even the little girl in her belly seemed to feel uneasy.

Little Su Bao didn't care about anything else; her face immediately fell.

"Madam, I've made you some ginseng soup. Please drink it quickly so you can recover sooner!" The new mother breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing her maid.

She wanted to speak, but Xiao Su Bao stood in front of her.

The tiny figure seemed to possess an inexplicable sense of grandeur.

The new mother was slightly taken aback, but in that instant, Xiao Su Bao raised her hand and snatched the ginseng soup away.

The Qian family also noticed something was wrong.

Old Mrs. Zhang, whose head was buried under the covers waiting for her husband to give birth to their second child and placenta, was unaware of what was happening outside.

Qian was quick, but the little maid was no simpleton either. She was stunned for a moment, then moved her hand slightly and pulled out a dagger from her sleeve, stabbing it towards the baby next to the woman.

Little Su Bao was extremely anxious, and her little foot instantly kicked towards the little girl's chest.

It's a bit hard...

At this moment, Madam Qian grabbed the little maid.

The maid's face turned deathly pale; she simply couldn't understand why she had failed!

Because of what happened before, Qian has been practicing hard for two months now, and her movements are becoming more and more agile than before.

"Get out of my way!" the maid shouted, then clutched her chest and continued charging forward.

"Xiao Cui, you betrayed me!" The new mother's eyes widened, filled with pain.

After all these years of relying on each other, Xiao Cui actually...

"Auntie, don't be sad. The little girl is still waiting to come out. Please save your energy," Xiao Su Bao said, turning her head to look at the woman in labor.

The woman paused, thinking that there might be another child in her belly, and immediately took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and pushed.

Suddenly, my stomach felt completely empty.

"She's given birth! She's given birth! It's a girl!" Granny Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and her mood improved considerably.

She knew what was happening outside, and this time she didn't dare let Qian hold the child. She wrapped the child in a red cloth.

He then hid inside the bed.

She glanced at the new mother and the baby beside her, and then simply took both children to her side.

The new mother looked at Granny Zhang as if she wanted to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

The girl's faint voice drifted over, and Xiao Su Bao subconsciously looked over, only to sense something new in front of her.

It felt as if a beam of light had suddenly pierced his chest.

She looked down and touched her flat chest, but there was nothing there!

She almost thought she was seeing things, but upon closer inspection, there was indeed nothing there.

Madam Qian forced the maid out, and Wang Mingtian, who was outside, joined forces to subdue her.

Qian glanced at Wang Mingtian. She felt as if the old man had foreseen all of this, since Wang Mingtian was in a very good position when she came out.

Before Qian could think twice, she skillfully pulled out a rope from her lower back and tied the woman's hands and feet.

Xiao Cui was about to bite down on the poisonous fangs when, in the next instant, Qian Shi had already removed her jawbone.

After all that was done, Doctor Song's gaze toward Madam Qian became somewhat strange.

After all, Qian's movements were almost too practiced, as if she had been practicing for a long time!

Qian ignored them and simply picked up the little maid and threw her to the door.

Several guards frowned slightly upon seeing this, but still quickly came over and grabbed the little maid.

Ling Buqi happened to come over and, seeing this, couldn't help but ask Qian Shi, "Sister-in-law Qian, what's going on...?"

"This Xiao Cui just assassinated a pregnant woman!"

After thinking for a moment, Qian said, "I suspect she has poisonous fangs in her mouth. You should clean them out quickly!"

Ling Buqi was taken aback; he had originally thought the woman in labor was an ordinary person!

But if it has venomous fangs, things get a bit complicated!

He waved for his men to grab Xiao Cui, then looked behind Qian Shi and asked, "Where's Xiao Su Bao?"

"She...is giving birth!"

Qian spoke with a complicated expression.

Ling Buqi...

What kind of storybook would you write about a four-and-a-half-year-old child delivering a baby?

That's absolutely unbelievable!

But then, as if remembering something, he said, "Okay, I understand. I'll get back to work now!"

The number of people has been increasing these past few days, and Ling Buqi is so busy he barely has time to breathe.

Ms. Qian didn't pay attention, she just nodded, worried that what had just happened might have frightened Xiao Su Bao.

He rushed in.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the tent, Little Su Bao hugged Qian Shi...

The little dumpling clung tightly to Qian's waist, her soft, baby voice saying, "Mommy, that older sister was so fierce! She scared me to death!"

The Qian family...

Why does she always feel like something's not quite right?

That's enough, my daughter's scared, so let it be!

"It's alright, your mother is here. She won't let anyone hurt you!"

Little Su Bao nodded and said, "She didn't want to hurt Su Bao, she wanted to hurt her younger brother and sister. That's a mean older sister with a hard chest!"

Madam Qian was slightly taken aback. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Little Su Bao is different from others; when she says something is bad, it really means it!

After the little dumpling finished speaking, the new mother on the bed had a bitter look in her eyes.

Xiao Cui had been with her since she was little, and she never expected that Xiao Cui would also...

Taking a deep breath, the new mother looked at Xiao Su Bao and Qian Shi with gratitude.

"Thank you!" she said, before fainting.

Granny Zhang, standing to the side, had a slight change in expression.

She quickly handed the child to Ms. Qian.

"Madam, Madam, you can't sleep! If you fall asleep, the baby in your belly won't be able to come out, and you'll die!"

Granny Zhang had just realized she had forgotten something very important, and now she remembered it.

The placenta hasn't come out yet!

Little Su Bao subconsciously reached out and touched the new mother's belly, then took out a silver needle from his pocket and poked it repeatedly...

Granny Zhang was completely devastated!

She tried to force herself to believe Xiao Su Bao, but reason told her she couldn't!

This is so difficult...

Granny Zhang then looked between the woman's legs, and all the filth had automatically come out!

Xiao Su Bao withdrew the silver needles and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Alright, Auntie's alright now!"

Granny Zhang instinctively cleaned up the things under the bed, but looked at Xiao Su Bao with a strange expression.

No, she had to cling tightly to this young lady's leg.

If someone can handle even the most difficult births, I should apprentice myself to learn their skills!

While Granny Zhang was preoccupied with her thoughts, Little Su Bao paid no attention to them. She looked at the two children with a faint smile in her eyes.

She felt very good about her little brother and sister.

"Huh..." Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback and subconsciously looked at the little girl.
