Chapter 148 Protecting the Child
Although he was being stubborn, Lu Wanning was clearly very satisfied with him.
But she didn't expose him. She sat aside and said to Dr. Luo, "Now that you have just returned, there must be a lot of people in the capital who come to you for medical treatment because of your reputation. I have already told Shopkeeper Wu that you should see a certain number of patients every day. Don't just keep seeing them all."
Seeing that Doctor Luo was still a little unconvinced, Lu Wanning sighed and said helplessly, "There are endless patients to see. If Master continues like this, the long queues at the entrance of Huichun Hall are not a big deal, but your body being exhausted is the real problem."
What's more, other doctors also have to have work to do.
She had just heard from Shopkeeper Wu that the consultation fee charged by the master was not expensive and was no different from that of an ordinary doctor.
But this is where problems arise.
It is understandable that those patients with acute and serious illnesses come to see Dr. Luo Shen because of his reputation, but those patients with common illnesses also have to wait to see Dr. Luo Shen.
Lu Wanning discussed this issue with Doctor Luo Shen and asked, "This is definitely not going to work. Master, should we raise the consultation fee or restrict the number of patients? If this continues, I'm afraid you won't even have enough time to eat."
The two of them thought about it for a long time and finally decided to increase the medical fee.
But according to Doctor Luo Shen's personality, once he encounters a difficult and complicated disease that interests him, he will probably treat it even if he has to pay for it.
After the discussion, Lu Wanning confirmed the matter with Manager Wu again, and only after the discussion was completed did they leave Huichuntang.
But before he returned to Prince Qi's Mansion, he saw the servants coming to find him.
It was said that Madam Yan had gone to the mansion, and it seemed that she had something to discuss with her.
The servant arranged Madam Yan in the front hall, and Lu Wanning went straight there.
As soon as she saw the person, Madam Yan hurriedly walked towards her, and the maid behind her followed anxiously, "Madam, slow down, slow down."
Madam Yan's face was very rosy, and she couldn't suppress her joy.
Lu Wanning's brows relaxed and she smiled, "Young Madam, is there something good going on?"
Zhen Wan'er was very happy and came forward to hold her arm, "Take my pulse."
Just by looking at her like this, Lu Wanning could guess that she must be pregnant without even taking her pulse.
Sure enough, the pulse was very obvious.
Lu Wanning withdrew her hand and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Madam."
"I should thank you the most. If it weren't for you, I don't even know if I could become a mother."
Speaking of this, Zhen Wan'er felt a little sad.
Seeing her eyes redden, Lu Wanning quickly said, "It's such a happy occasion, why are you crying? If Young Master Yan sees this, he might think I bullied his wife."
Zhen Wan'er glared at her, amused by her, "Why didn't I notice you were so talkative before?"
The two chatted for a long time. Before leaving, Zhen Wan'er and Lu Wanning made an appointment to go out for a walk together in a few days, and also set a date to invite her to visit the banquet house.
When they had almost finished chatting, Yan Mingjue came to pick her up, and the couple left together.
Time passed slowly, life became stable, and everything was moving in a good direction.
Except for Qi Qingyao, who still took Ainasha out every day.
His Majesty wants to hand over the throne to the Crown Prince, so Qi Muchao has been very busy during this period and often comes back very late at night.
Lu Wanning's belly gradually became noticeable.
The day she visited Yan's house, she met Yan Mingchang.
This man was still the same as before, but there was some complexity in his eyes when he faced her.
When his eyes fell on her slightly bulging belly, he felt a little relieved.
While having dinner, Lu Wanning heard Yan's mother mention Yan Mingchang's marriage and felt a little guilty about worrying about his marriage. After dinner, when she was walking in the garden with Zhen Wan'er, she felt a little emotional. She thought that if she had told Yan Mingchang about her identity earlier, perhaps things would be a little better than they are now.
But Zhen Wan'er shook her head. "That's just his personality. Don't pay any attention to him. My parents are already looking for a suitable girl for him. It won't be long before he gets married."
Lu Wanning didn't say anything.
Two days later, Aunt An's due date arrived.
The death of Aunt An in her previous life was a psychological trauma for Lu Wanning.
So a few days before her due date, she moved directly to the Chen Mansion to live with Aunt An.
The Second and Third Madams would come to her and Aunt An all day long, whether they had something to do or not.
Now that Chen Wenjian is missing, the fetus in Aunt An's belly is particularly important to the two of them.
If it's a daughter, then the Chen Mansion will most likely be taken over by their son in the future. But if it's a son, then Master Chen will definitely make plans for this child and hold all the assets of the Chen family in his hands, for fear that even a penny will be lost.
This is not a good thing for both of them.
The two doctors who came to take Aunt An's pulse some time ago also bribed her, wanting to know whether the baby in Aunt An's belly was a boy or a girl.
But the doctor was stubborn and said he didn't know or understand no matter what was asked.
As soon as Aunt An started, the two of them came over in a hurry.
Before Lu Wanning came back, because Master Chen kept sending various supplements to Aunt An, the fetus in Aunt An's belly became too large. If this continued, she might have a difficult delivery.
So after Lu Wanning came back, she asked Aunt An to control her diet.
Although the fetus is still a little big at the moment, it is much better than before.
But even so, Aunt An suffered a lot.
The fetus started moving at night. When Mr. Chen heard the servant say that the baby was about to be born, he ran over in a hurry.
Lu Wanning had made sufficient preparations in advance and seemed relatively calm at the moment, but her tense face still revealed some of her nervousness.
The midwife helped her, bringing in basins of warm water.
Qi Muchao also rushed over from Prince Qi's Mansion after receiving the news.
Lu Wanning was pregnant, and he was afraid that Lu Wanning couldn't handle it, but knowing how important Aunt An was to her, he just waited outside and said nothing.
Aunt An's labor was very long. Basins of blood and water were taken out, but no cry from the fetus could be heard.
Mr. Chen was so anxious that he almost knelt on the ground and prayed to God for help.
Seeing the baby's feet sticking out, the midwife almost fell to the ground, "It's over."
She had delivered countless babies, but this one came out feet first, and the danger of it was beyond words.
In her 20 years of midwifery career, any mother whose baby came out feet first was basically dead. If she was ruthless, the baby might still have a chance of survival.
She looked at Lu Wanning and advised, "We can still give it a try to save the younger one, but if we want to save the older one, I'm afraid we won't be able to save both of them."
