When Zhao Yiming received the news from his servant, he was discussing something with the Minister of War and several colleagues. His face immediately turned pale.
Seeing this, the Minister of War didn't care about much, "Doctor Zhao, we have almost finished discussing the matter here, just leave the rest to us, you can go back and take a look!"
"I'm sorry to have troubled you all." Zhao Yiming's voice trembled slightly. He said something polite subconsciously, turned around and ran out.
After he walked out of the gate, he took the horse from the servant and rushed home. At this moment, his mind was full of Tian An lying on the couch in excruciating pain. He seemed to have seen the maids carrying basins of blood out of the delivery room.
Tian An once made him experience the pain of childbirth, and he was still deeply impressed by it. He couldn't help but think about what level of pain Tian An was in at the moment, and he was very panicked.
After finally galloping all the way to the gate of the mansion, he almost fell down in his haste when he dismounted.
The people who had gathered at the gate of the Duke's Mansion to watch the excitement because of the incident involving Xiao Minru and her sister had not yet dispersed. Seeing Zhao Yiming so panicked, everyone thought that Tian An was in critical condition.
Not long after, the news that Lady Protector of the Country was assassinated, had a miscarriage that caused her to give birth prematurely, and was in critical condition quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
But when Zhao Yiming rushed all the way to Tongxinyuan with a tense mind, the scenes he imagined did not appear.
When I walked to the door of their room, before I entered, I heard the relaxed conversation between Tian An, the maids, and Jiang's mother and daughter.
"You girl, you're already in labor, but you're still thinking about washing your hair." Jiang said helplessly while twisting Tian An's hair with a dry towel.
Tian An opened his mouth and swallowed the chicken soup Zhao Qinhua fed him before replying to her: "After giving birth, you have to stay in confinement. You can't wash for a month. Washing once before giving birth can at least make you feel comfortable for a few more days."
Just now, as soon as she felt something at the door, she hurried back to take a shower.
This is her first child, so the birth is not so soon, and her water hasn't broken yet, so she can do these things.
Zhao Qinhua and Zhao Ranhua, two sisters who had not yet reached the age of marriage, could not help but nod when they heard Tian An's words, and said casually: "Sister-in-law is right, we will do the same in the future."
"Hey, you two girls, how can you say anything you want? Is this what you should say? If it gets out, people will say you have no shame." Jiang's expression, which was pleasant just now, immediately became serious.
The two little girls realized that they had spoken too quickly and quickly covered their mouths, "Mom, we know we were wrong..."
Tian An also spoke up for them at the right time, "They just spoke too quickly. They just need to be more careful next time. We are all family here, so it's not a big deal."
The two nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, we only speak without restraint at home, we definitely wouldn't do that outside."
Only after receiving her daughter's assurance did Jiang give up! It wasn't that she had to be so harsh, it was just that the world was harsh on women, and she had to keep an eye on them at all times, making sure they didn't make any mistakes.
Taking this opportunity, Tian An simply gave his two sisters-in-law some scientific knowledge, "Everyone's childbirth situation is different, you have to decide according to the situation, and you can't just follow me.
I just started labor and my water hasn’t broken yet, so I dare to do this. If my water had broken first, I would have to lie down and prepare for delivery right away..."
The two sisters-in-law know nothing, and she can't let them lead her astray.
"Yeah!" The two looked at Tian An with sparkling eyes, nodded repeatedly as they listened to her words, and felt that she understood everything.
Just as they were talking! When Tian An looked up, he found Zhao Yiming standing outside the door. He was stunned to see him at this time. "Didn't you go to the government office? Why are you here?"
This gossipy tone confused Zhao Yiming. "The servant told me that you were frightened and gave birth prematurely. I thought..."
Seeing the sweat oozing from his forehead and his slightly trembling limbs, Tian An finally realized something. "So, you thought I was not well and rushed back in a hurry?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yiming's face changed. He walked into the room in two steps and tried to cover her mouth. "What nonsense are you talking about? Bah!"
"When did you start to believe this..." Tian An stopped his palm from reaching his mouth, but found that his palm was full of sweat. He couldn't say the teasing words anymore. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry."
Zhao Yiming was more worried about her, "So what's going on now?"
While the two were talking, Jiang had already signaled to leave with the maids.
Tian An snuggled in Zhao Yiming's arms, quietly waiting for this round of pain to pass before slowly saying, "Xiao Minru and her sister took a fancy to my shop, but I didn't want to give it to them. Seeing that they wanted to rob it openly, I provoked them to make the first move, and then had the guards capture them and prepare to send them to the authorities.
My stomach just happened to startle at that moment, so I decided to play along and pretend to be startled by the brother and sister. That way, even if they came out of the government office, they wouldn't bother me anymore."
Everyone sympathizes with the weak. Tian An puts herself on the side of the victim. In addition, the brother and sister have a bad reputation. Even if a confrontation comes, everyone will stand on her side.
In this way, the brother and sister could no longer think about her shop, nor could they hold her responsible for sending them to jail. Zhao Yiming and her relatives and friends would also be more justified in speaking for her, which was like killing two birds with one stone.
"It's just that you ran all the way back in such a hurry."
As Tian An finished her explanation, a new round of more intense pain came, causing her to tremble all over.
Even though she tried her best to hold it back, she still couldn't hide it from Zhao Yiming who was holding her.
He quickly looked down and saw that Tian An's face had turned pale. He immediately held her hands tightly with nervousness and heartache.
"What nonsense! I should be thankful that I arrived in time."
"How are you? What's the intensity of the pain? Are you still bearable? Let Yaoyao and the others give you a painkiller!"
Tian An bit his lower lip tightly, and waited until the pain subsided before speaking, "We have to wait a little longer. Now we are only at level four, so it's not the best time yet. I can still endure it. You stay with me..."
I said I could bear it, but in reality, my body was shaking with pain when the contractions came.
Tian An couldn't help but curse in his heart, "I know it hurts, but how can people who haven't experienced it expect it to be so painful..."
At the same time, I really admire the women who gave birth naturally. She was in so much pain at level four, it is hard to imagine how heart-wrenching the pain would be if it really reached level ten.
Even though generals on the battlefield have a way to retreat, women have no way to retreat once they give birth. It's either life or death.
Watching Tian An suffer but being unable to do anything, Zhao Yiming never felt so helpless. He only hated that he could not bear it all for her.
