Wen Mianmian woke up and found herself transmigrated into a show girl at the Qing Dynasty's selection of consorts. That&...
After all, Li wanted to harm the child in her womb. Although she was discovered, the servants around Li said that she did not do it, but everyone knew it as clearly as a mirror that Li was definitely involved in this matter.
"No way, Concubine Wen looks like she is ignorant of worldly affairs. She wouldn't do such a thing."
Nanny Chang never thought that Concubine Wen was a scheming person. It was just that she was too low-key in her daily life and did not look like a scheming person.
"Oh, you are ignorant of the ways of the world. Madam, are you getting old and confused? Do you think a woman who can safely give birth to three children, evade multiple plots, and always be favored by the only one can be a simple person?"
"Don't be deceived by her appearance. There is no way there can be any good people in this mansion." Including her. Since she married the master, she is no longer the naive Ulanara.
"It is my fault for being short-sighted."
The truth is that Concubine Wen is too low-key in her daily life. Although her words are sometimes not very pleasant, she has never taken the initiative to harm anyone.
"However, I think this matter has nothing to do with Concubine Wen. Didn't the court doctor check it out? There's nothing wrong in Li Gege's room. Maybe this time it's Li Gege's own fault."
"Just because there's nothing in the room doesn't mean that Wen didn't do anything. Otherwise, why would something happen right after Li was put under house arrest? Wen shouldn't be underestimated." Fu Jin felt that this matter had a lot to do with Wen.
However, she did not intend to intervene. Firstly, there was no evidence, and secondly, why should she help the Li family? But if it was really the Wen family who did it, then the Wen family would indeed be difficult to deal with.
Because of the incident with Li, some people who had bad intentions in their minds instantly suppressed the urge that had just ignited, including Fu Jin.
So Wen Mianmian's life became much smoother after that.
Although the Fourth Master would occasionally go to the backyard, he would just sit for a while and then leave, and never stay overnight with them.
Soon it was the day when Wen Mianmian was about to give birth, and her mother was taken to the mansion by the Fourth Master. Her mother had originally returned to Jiangnan, but after receiving a letter from her sister-in-law a few months ago, she rushed over from Jiangnan without stopping.
"Mianmian, why is your belly so big?" Mother Wen was shocked when she saw such a big belly for the first time.
"Mom, you're here." Wen Mianmian wanted to get up.
Mother Wen quickly stopped her, "Don't move, don't move. Oh my, your belly is so scary. It wasn't this big when I was pregnant with you and your brother."
"I'm fine, don't worry too much, Mom."
"What's wrong with your belly? How much did you eat? Why is it so big?" She was not there when Mianmian gave birth to her first child, so she didn't know that she was pregnant with multiple babies.
I thought it was because she ate too much.
"The doctor said that my belly is so big because I'm pregnant with multiples. My belly was also like this when I was pregnant with Tiantian and the others."
"Another multiple birth?" Mother Wen was a little surprised.
"Yes, so don't worry, mother."
"That's good. I thought it was so big because you were greedy. I was wrong." Mother Wen felt relieved.
"Oh, my Mianmian has worked hard. It's tiring just thinking about carrying such a big belly." Mother Wen's eyes became moist as she spoke.
Her Mianmian suffered.
"Mom, I'm fine, and your grandchildren are all very well-behaved and haven't made any noise."
"That's good. I think they know how hard their mother worked to carry them, so they're not making a fuss. They'll definitely be sensible and well-behaved when they're born."
Wen Mianmian gave birth at noon three days later. She felt a cramping pain in her stomach just after lunch.
"Mom, Aunt Fang, my stomach hurts."
Wen Mianmian knew that she was about to give birth, and Nanny Song, Shancha and others quickly and orderly got busy.
"Shanzhi, quickly tell Xiaokongzi and the others to prepare hot water, and quickly notify the master, and then send someone to the palace to invite Doctor Liu over." Nanny Song shouted outside.
Then, calmly, he said to Shancha, "Shancha, tell the midwife to quickly prepare the delivery room and all the necessary supplies. You must personally oversee these and make sure nothing goes wrong."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
"Shannai, come with us to help the master to the delivery room."
“Hey.”
Half a month ago, the Fourth Master had Su Peisheng pick out the best midwives and wet nurses and send them over. There were four midwives and five wet nurses in total.
After the midwife checked, she found it was still early, so she asked the concubine to walk around the house more so that the baby could be born faster.
Wen Mianmian drank some spiritual juice that had been prepared early in the morning, and endured the pain, trying to move around as much as possible with the support of Nanny Song and her mother.
Ministry of Revenue
The Fourth Master was checking the taxes that had just been collected when Su Peisheng ran in with a nervous look on his face.
"Master, Concubine Wen is about to give birth."
"What? Isn't there still several days left?" The Fourth Master stood up with a frown on his face.
"I don't know either. Someone from the palace said that Concubine Fujin's stomach started to hurt when she was having lunch."
The Fourth Master strode out and Su Peisheng quickly followed.
The wife and other people in the mansion also heard the news, and everyone rushed to Zizhu Courtyard at the same time.
Wen Mianmian's contractions began again. She was walking slowly in the delivery room, enduring the pain. When she heard people outside say that Fu Jin and others were coming, her frown suddenly tightened even more.
"Master, I'll go out and take a look." Wen Mianmian nodded.
"Mianmian, can you still hold on?" Mother Wen saw beads of sweat on Mianmian's forehead and quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it for her.
"Can."
"Then let's walk a little longer. If we can't hold on any longer, we can just lie down on the bed."
Nanny Song came to the main house, and everyone in the backyard came except Li who was under house arrest.
"Greetings to the wife and all the princesses."
"Madam, please get up. How is your concubine?"
"The concubine is fine, but she still has some time before giving birth."
"Then you should go and take care of your concubine and make sure she has a good birth."
"Yes~"
Nanny Song went through the motions and returned to the delivery room.
"Concubine Wen is only eight months pregnant. How could she give birth so early? Will the baby be fertile?" Geng said worriedly.
It is said that a baby will survive until the seventh day of life and not until the eighth day. Isn't it premature for Concubine Wen to give birth at this time?
Premature babies are very difficult to raise.
"Concubine Wen gave birth to her first child at eight months old, and each child was stronger than the last." Mrs. Wu said.
I prayed in my heart that Concubine Wen would give birth to a princess this time. If she gave birth to a prince, then there would be three princes in total, which was something many people did not want to see.
