"These kinds of things are usually best left unattended. Since you've already hired me, why are you asking someone else? Don't you trust my skills? If you don't, then don't hire me!"
Granny Wang was furious. She straightened up and ignored everything.
Seeing how angry she was, Granny Li smiled indifferently: "In Yancheng, I'm number one, you're number two. I don't care, so why should you?"
Hearing this, Granny Wang became even angrier: "What do I lack compared to you? You're just a fame-seeking scoundrel!"
Han Luoxue was already annoyed, and hearing the two arguing only fueled her anger: "If you want to argue, go outside! If you don't want to work here, get out!"
Normally, Han Luoxue has a pretty good temper, but right now...
She was a little confused and didn't know what these people cared about! No matter how many midwives she invited, it was just in case. As long as she gave them enough money, wouldn't it be easier for several of them to work together?
"You, you..." Granny Wang raised her hand in anger, pointing at Han Luoxue with trembling fingers.
Han Luoxue's forehead was still dripping with cold sweat; she didn't know why she was sweating so easily today.
With a crack, another clap of thunder flashed by, and the sound of thunder and rain outside made Han Yuluo Xue's mood even worse.
"If you don't want to work here, then leave!"
She said it again, and when Yunniang saw that her daughter was angry, she quickly comforted her, "Xue'er, don't be angry, Mother will deal with it."
Yunniang was also in a bad mood. Her daughter's condition was still unknown, and the two of them were still arguing.
"Xiao Tao, give Granny Wang a red envelope and send her away!"
Granny Li hurriedly stepped forward and skillfully helped Han Luoxue with her examination, taking over Granny Wang's work.
Seeing this, Granny Wang gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Hmph, this is the first time I've ever seen people like you!"
At that moment, Xiao Tao took out the silver and stuffed it into Wang Po's hand. Wang Po weighed it for a moment, then, disregarding the heavy rain outside, she took the silver and ran out.
When he reached the outer hall, Doctor Xu saw Granny Wang leaving in a huff and sighed, "She really is an unlucky woman."
Wang Yan listened, completely bewildered; she didn't understand what those words meant. She looked at Doctor Xu with curiosity, but unfortunately, he closed his eyes again after speaking, seemingly lost in thought.
Outside, lightning and thunder continued, and the rain was torrential. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever seen such heavy rain.
"I wonder when this rain will stop!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Xu opened his eyes, looked at the rain outside, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He remembered hearing from the elders that some people with great fortune and destiny would have extraordinary phenomena appear at birth.
Could it be that the child in Han Luoxue's belly is destined to be a blessed person?
Of course! Just think about the father's status. This is his first child. If it really is a boy, as long as he grows up safely, he could very well be the next crown prince.
There's a saying that goes, "When one person prospers, even their chickens and dogs ascend to heaven." That old woman, Wang Po, was a prime example of someone with little fortune.
As for the one inside, who helped deliver the future crown prince's baby, will Han Luoxue treat her badly in the future?
Doctor Xu thought to himself, "Indeed, everyone has their own destiny."
Outside, lightning and thunder continued to flash. Although Han Luoxue inside the room could not feel any pain, she felt unwell all over.
That old woman, Li, was indeed very experienced. She examined him, her smile gentle, her voice carrying a calming magic: "Madam, don't be in a hurry. I think we need to wait a little longer. Just listen to me and push harder."
This child was really persistent. We waited until midnight, past midnight, when the child finally arrived late, amidst a thunderous roar that shook heaven and earth.
Hearing the child's loud cries, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Yunniang's eyes reddened with excitement, and she gripped Han Luoxue's hand tightly, saying, "Xue'er, Xue'er, it's a son!"
In her heart, daughters and sons were the same. She had both a son and a daughter, and the first two were daughters. At that time, although Old Mrs. Han said that she had given birth to worthless hens that did not lay eggs, Han Mingyuan treated her very well, and she never disliked her daughters.
But Han Luoxue's situation is different; her man is the current crown prince, and what they need first is a son.
The child's cries were extremely loud, the wailing sounds piercing through the rain and carrying far.
The deafening thunderclap just now woke up many people who were fast asleep.
As everyone opened their sleepy eyes, they saw a sky full of rosy clouds outside, while the sound of rain continued.
"Hey, honey, what's going on outside?"
The lady stared in horror, put on her clothes, and went to the window. She was shocked when she saw the sunset outside.
"Could it be that some extraordinary treasure has appeared in our Yancheng?"
"This sunset is so beautiful, I have to go outside and take a look!"
Such conversations could be heard everywhere. Even the county magistrate crawled out of his newlywed wife's arms, saw the glow outside, and hurriedly ordered, "Quickly, quickly go out and see where this light is coming from!"
With his backing on the salt mountain, he has made a fortune over the years. If some rare treasure were to appear here, sending him to the capital might bring him an even greater reward.
Yancheng is truly a wonderful place; he intends to serve as its magistrate for the rest of his life.
Meanwhile, his new wife, trembling, looked at the sunset outside and then at the excited magistrate, her body shaking like a leaf.
Her body was covered in a dense network of scars. She had heard rumors before that county magistrates were cursed to bring misfortune to their wives, but after marrying her, she realized that this was no polite way of saying it; it was clearly...
No woman can stay by her side for long; they simply can't stand it.
She wanted to go home and see her older brother. She didn't want to stay in that county magistrate's office for even a day longer.
The magistrate looked outside excitedly, his gaze fixed on the direction of the rosy dawn.
However, his men had only gone a few steps when the afterglow faded, the rain continued, and they could see nothing at all.
"Where is the sunset glow? Where is my darling?"
The magistrate couldn't believe it, and he rushed out, but unfortunately the rain outside was too heavy, and he was soaked to the bone as soon as he stepped out of the house.
The magistrate trembled slightly, but still went back.
Back in his room, the magistrate saw his new bride trembling and curled up on the bed, and his eyes turned cold.
It's all that woman's fault! If it weren't for her, that treasure definitely wouldn't have suddenly disappeared!
"Come here!" The magistrate beckoned to the woman, who trembled even more violently.
Her wounds were shocking to behold, but the magistrate was clearly satisfied. He stepped forward, but before he could even climb onto the bed, the woman cried out in terror, "No! Don't come any closer!"
