"The person has already died. You think you can bring them back to life? Do you think you're some kind of immortal being?" The midwife that Aunt Zhao had hired scoffed disdainfully.
Even Master Wang thought Granny Liu was talking nonsense and didn't listen to what she was saying at all. He just ordered his servants to tie her up immediately.
"The situation is urgent. Please, sir and madam, trust me one more time and let me try. Perhaps the young master will wake up!" Granny Liu said earnestly.
Liu was somewhat tempted. Holding the child, she looked at Granny Liu and asked, "Is what you're saying true?"
"Sister, don't believe her! You've already been deceived by her once, don't let her deceive you again! The young master is gone, leave it to me, I'll ask a master to perform a ritual for him so that he can be reincarnated and return to your womb as soon as possible!"
As Aunt Zhao spoke, she reached out to snatch the child from Liu's arms.
Whether the child is truly dead or faked, once he's in her hands, even if it's fake, it will become real!
Upon hearing the words "back into her sister's womb," Madam Liu froze. She stared blankly as Aunt Zhao took the child from her arms, her eyes unblinking.
If we bury this child sooner, will he be able to return to my womb sooner?
Aunt Zhao picked up Liu's child, wrapped her in the swaddle blanket again, making sure it was completely airtight, and then walked towards the door.
Aunt Zhao's lips curled slightly. Once she left the courtyard, she would throw the child born to that idiot Liu Shi to feed the dogs!
Just as Aunt Zhao was feeling smug, a figure suddenly darted in front of her and snatched the child from her arms.
"Give me!"
Aunt Zhao tried to snatch the child back, but she missed.
Shen Yuan turned around, stood in the corner with her back against Xiao Ling, and hugged Liu Shi's child tightly, threatening, "Don't come any closer!"
When Shen Yuan lifted the child into the air, the entire room fell silent.
Master Wang waved his hand behind him, and everyone took a step back, not daring to approach Shen Yuan for fear of angering her.
Seeing everyone step back, Shen Yuan opened the swaddling blanket and placed her index and middle fingers on the baby's neck. She focused her attention and felt faint throbbing between her fingertips.
It was very light and weak, but it was pulsating!
"Grandma, he still has a pulse! He's not dead!" Shen Yuan shouted.
Hearing this, Master Wang's gaze softened as he looked at Shen Yuan. He asked uncertainly, "Really? Are you telling the truth?"
"Master, please have someone quickly make a bowl of brown sugar water! It's a lifesaver! It'll be too late if we wait any longer!" Taking advantage of everyone's stunned silence, Granny Liu rushed to Shen Yuan's side and took the child from her arms.
Aunt Zhao angrily retorted, "What are you two doing, grandmother and grandson, putting on this show in our master's mansion? Dead is dead! Who are you trying to fool!"
"It's just a bowl of brown sugar water, not a bowl of poison. Why can't you try it?" Shen Yuan coldly sized up Aunt Zhao, her tone sarcastic: "Or do you wish Madam Liu's child were dead? Otherwise, why do you keep talking about death?"
"I didn't, you're lying!" Aunt Zhao glared angrily at Shen Yuan.
While the two were arguing, Madam Liu had Cui'er bring over some brown sugar water.
Cui'er brought the brown sugar water to Granny Liu's side. Granny Liu quickly placed the child in her arms, slightly tilting her to ensure that the child would not choke or suffocate when she poured the sugar water into her mouth. Then she scooped up a spoonful of the sugar water.
The sugar water was made by Cui'er with warm water, and the temperature was just right.
Granny Liu took a small spoon and placed it on the corner of the baby's lips. The newborn baby couldn't drink directly from a spoon, and since the baby was also asleep, Granny Liu had a hard time feeding him.
Aunt Zhao didn't believe that a bowl of sugar water could save a life, but her heart was pounding. She nervously clutched her handkerchief, praying that Liu's child would never wake up.
The room was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the spoon in Liu Mama's hand.
Granny Liu dripped the sugar water from the spoon into the baby's mouth little by little.
Granny Liu held the spoon until her wrist ached, but she had only fed the child halfway through the sugar water. She wasn't in a hurry and patiently continued feeding.
Suddenly, Granny Liu exclaimed excitedly, "Swallowed, swallowed it!"
If the child can still swallow, it proves that he is still alive!
Liu sat up excitedly in bed, craning her neck to look at her child. She saw him drink a whole spoonful of sugar water, and tears welled up in her eyes.
What could make her want to cry more than this moment!
Her son... didn't die!
Granny Liu put down the porcelain spoon in her hand, reached into the swaddle and pinched the baby's bottom hard, causing the sleeping baby to burst into tears.
"My son, is he still alive?" Master Wang rushed forward excitedly, wanting to hug the child.
Granny Liu didn't give it to him. She gently shook the baby in her arms to soothe him, then fed him two spoonfuls of sugar water before handing the baby to Madam Liu.
Liu smiled through her tears, gazing at her child and wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Grandma, what exactly happened?" Shen Yuan tugged at Liu Mama's sleeve and asked.
Granny Liu said, "Madam Liu drank sweet soup for several months during her pregnancy. The baby in her womb was nourished by the sweet soup for a long time and also got used to drinking sugar water. Now that he has suddenly come out of Madam Liu's belly, without the supply of sugar water, he is like a person who has not eaten and has fainted from hunger. The child should have just fainted! As long as he is given sugar water in time, he will wake up!"
"It's that simple?" Master Wang found it hard to believe, but the current situation forced him to accept it, after all, his precious son had indeed been saved by Granny Liu!
Granny Liu is truly a great benefactor to their family!
"What kind of theory is this? I've been delivering babies for years and I've never heard of it! You just got lucky!" The midwife, Wang, who had been invited by Aunt Zhao, was still somewhat unconvinced.
She thought that Granny Liu was just lucky. The child hadn't died completely and happened to wake up when Granny Liu picked him up. It was just a coincidence!
Granny Liu sneered, "Lucky? What kind of luck do I have? You keep saying that Madam Liu's child is dead, so what kind of luck would it take to bring the dead back to life?"
"If you could be brought back to life just by being lucky, then the King of Hell's palace would be nothing more than a rest stop!"
"You don't even know that a small baby's weak breathing doesn't necessarily mean the baby has stopped breathing, yet you jump to conclusions so easily. Instead of reflecting on your actions, you've wasted all these years as a midwife!"
Wang the midwife was speechless after being choked by these words. She awkwardly tugged at the corners of her mouth and dared not say another word.
"Grandma Liu, Miss Shen, thank you both so much. I, Liu Yueqin, will remember your great kindness forever!" Holding her child, Liu ignored her physical pain and knelt on the bed to kowtow to Granny Liu and Shen Yuan.
Granny Liu didn't stop her; she was perfectly capable of accepting it.
Looking at his son gently wriggling in his swaddling clothes, Master Wang smiled and bowed deeply to Granny Liu and Shen Yuan, saying, "Thank you so much, Granny Liu, for saving my son. I am willing to offer one hundred taels of gold to repay your kindness!"
