About fifteen minutes later, Mrs. Zhang's abdominal pain subsided.
At this moment, Madam Ding led Qiu Yan into the room.
Upon seeing Qiu Yan, Madam Zhang slowly raised her head, forcing a smile at the corners of her lips, "Miss Qiu, you've arrived."
Then, she looked at Madam Ding with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
It's just a stomachache, she thought, there was no need for her sister-in-law to invite Qiu Yan over, it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
She was feeling very unwell and really didn't want to talk.
Madam Ding knew what her sister-in-law was thinking, and simply said, "Sister-in-law, let Miss Qiu take a look at you quickly."
Qiu Yan first carefully observed Madam Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang's hair was disheveled and dry. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her skin was rough and sallow...
"Madam Zhang, you should eat more nourishing foods to regulate your qi and blood."
Mrs. Zhang nodded. Suddenly, she felt a wetness in her lower body, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
Madam Ding stepped forward and said, "Miss Qiu Yan, my sister-in-law has given birth to several children, and her body is somewhat weak. Could you please take a look and see what is causing her abdominal pain?"
Qiu Yan gave a soft "hmm" and then took Madam Zhang's pulse. "The pulse is unstable, the fetus is trembling."
Remembering Madam Ding's words, and noting the recent bleeding, she asked, "Madam Zhang, have you had sex recently? Are you overworking yourself?"
Mrs. Zhang's face flushed slightly, and she shook her head.
She was always attended to by maids whenever she went out, so she was never tired.
Qiu Yan asked again, "Have you eaten anything unusual?"
Mrs. Zhang shook her head again.
Upon hearing this, Madam Ding immediately replied, "You still say you haven't? You've been eating quite a few candied fruits these past few days."
Recently, Aunt Feng has been trying to please Madam Zhang in every way. Hearing that Madam Zhang had a poor appetite, she personally went to her house and brought her some candied fruit.
"What kind of candied fruit?" Qiu Yan asked.
Mrs. Zhang replied, "Hawthorn preserves."
“No wonder,” Qiu Yan murmured, and continued, “Eating hawthorn during pregnancy can cause uterine contractions. Mrs. Zhang, in your case, you need to take some medication to prevent miscarriage.”
Madam Zhang's expression changed. "So, she wanted to harm me."
But soon, her expression became indifferent.
She actually hoped that the baby could be aborted.
As soon as Zhang Yuyan arrived, she heard these words. She was furious and immediately rushed out of the house to confront Aunt Feng.
"Yan'er," Madam Zhang called out, then thought it would be good to teach this Aunt Feng a lesson, so she let her be.
Suddenly, Mrs. Zhang felt a sharp, throbbing pain in her abdomen, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
She was familiar with this pain.
However, she had given birth to so many children before, all of whom were full-term.
This time, it's only been seven months, and she feels this shouldn't be happening.
"I think... I'm going to..."
She felt that she was going to miscarry.
Madam Ding glanced worriedly at her sister-in-law, then looked to Qiu Yan for help.
Hearing Madam Zhang's murmurs, Qiu Yan looked at the maid standing beside her.
"Quickly call the midwife..."
"Midwife?" The maid beside her paused for a moment, then said, "Yes," and hurriedly ran out of the room.
Madam Ding was also somewhat uncertain, "Qiu Yan, are you saying that my sister-in-law is about to give birth?"
Qiu Yan nodded, noticing that Madam Zhang was clearly about to give birth.
As for the midwife, Master Zhang had already found one in advance, who would be available at any time.
Instantly, Madam Zhang's courtyard was bustling with activity.
Some were boiling water, others were adding firewood...
Upon hearing this, Madam Ding was at a loss for what to do.
Mrs. Zhang was in unbearable pain and cried out in agony.
"Madam Zhang, calm your breathing." Qiu Yan's eyes flashed with the image of Madam Ye giving birth.
She never expected that her medical appointment today would coincide with Mrs. Zhang giving birth.
