Chapter 272 Bleeding!!
Xu Yunyue was sitting in the yard eating snacks, and Xu Jinyin came to Xu Yunyue under the guidance of the servant. Before Xu Yunyue could speak, Xu Jinyin knelt in front of Xu Yunyue and cried:
"Sister! You must save your brother! Lord Tiger is going to chop off your brother's hand! Wuuu!"
"Brother, you say this every time. Every time I help you pay off your gambling debts, you go back to gamble next time. I won't believe you no matter what you say this time!" Xu Yunyue felt helpless and a little impatient when she heard Xu Jinyin using the same routine again.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinyin immediately swore a poisonous oath, repeatedly promising: "Sister, I swear, as long as you help me this time, I will never gamble again. If I gamble again, I won't ask anyone else to do it, I will cut off my own hand!"
"Woo woo! Sister, please give your brother a chance to reform!"
After hearing Xu Jinyin's assurance and seeing him crying bitterly, it seemed that he had realized how big a mistake he had made!
"Okay, how much do you owe this time?"
"But let me make this clear first. Next time you go gambling, I can't do anything about it. I've even had to pawn my jewelry to help you! Even if the master dotes on me, I can't ask him for money every day. After all, my food, clothing and other expenses are all paid for by the mansion."
When Xu Jinyin heard this, his eyes flashed. He thought that he might as well ask for more this time just in case. After paying off Tiger Ye’s gambling debt, he could use the rest to expand his profits.
"Sister, Mr. Tiger said that I'm already one day late, so the interest will be doubled. Now he wants... two hundred taels of silver."
"What???" Xu Yunyue stood up from her chair in shock.
A breeze blew, and with Xu Yunyue's big movement, the sachet hanging on her waist shook a few times, and a fragrance rushed into Xu Jinyin's nose.
Xu Yunyue didn't know why she couldn't suppress her anger. She walked forward and slapped Xu Jinyin on the face: "Two hundred taels of silver? I don't have that much silver. I've already paid you at least two hundred taels of silver for your gambling debts several times!"
"This time, you raised it to two hundred taels in one go? I didn't. Get lost! You deserve to have your hand chopped off. Who told you to keep your stubborn ways?"
Xu Jinyin covered his face with disbelief in his eyes. Adding on Xu Yunyue's words, he stood up angrily: "You dare to hit me? I'm your brother!! Even if I was wrong, it's not your turn to hit me!!"
Xu Yunyue was so angry that her chest rose and fell. She touched her uncomfortable stomach with her hand: "Humph, why can't I hit you? You are now completely dependent on me, Xu Yunyue, to have good clothes and a good house. Without me, you would be nothing but a mud leg now!!!"
"Okay! Xu Yunyue, it turns out that you have always looked down on me as your brother!!" When Xu Jinyin heard such derogatory words, his anger exploded. What he cared about most was being looked down upon by others.
Xu Yunyue felt her stomach getting more and more uncomfortable, so she yelled, "Someone! Get him out of here. If he comes to see me again, don't let him in!!"
Xu Jinyin looked at the servant who came to pull her out and struggled to get away: "Xu Yunyue! You ungrateful bastard! When I was a waiter, I often brought you food and clothes."
"Those things of yours are only a few copper coins. I have already paid them back." After saying that, he looked at the two servants standing still and shouted, "What are you still doing standing there? Get him out now!"
"Yes, Aunt Yue!"
"Xu Yunyue, you watched me die without helping me! I'm your biological brother!" Xu Jinyin struggled. He wanted to reach out and grab Xu Yunyue to stop her from leaving, but somehow he pulled her down instead. Xu Yunyue, who was about to turn around and leave, fell backwards.
It fell!!!
"Ah!!!" Xu Yunyue covered her stomach, her lower body was immediately dyed red: "Ah! My stomach hurts so much!! Help! My son! Save my son!!"
The servants in the yard finally reacted. Xiaomei was the first to yell, "Madam Yue! Quick, get Madam Yue into the room, and call the midwife and the palace doctor over!"
After hearing what was said, some helped to carry Xu Yunyue into the room, some quickly ran out of the yard to call the midwife, and some went to inform Mrs. Wu.
In the entire yard, Xu Jinyin was the only one left, staring at a pool of blood on the ground in shock. After a long while, he screamed, holding his head and ran towards the gate of the mansion!
After Mrs. Wu received the news, she could not sit still for a moment and hurried over with her maid.
After seeing basins of blood being carried out, he went outside with a frown and sat waiting.
"Oh, Madam, is Yunyue about to give birth?" Mr. Wu ran back holding his fat belly. When he arrived at Xu Yunyue's yard, he was already gasping for breath from exhaustion.
Mrs. Wu stood up and said, "Master, you must be tired from running. I'll go get you a glass of water so you can relax."
Mr. Wu: "Ah, Madam, you still care about me!"
Mrs. Wu went to the table nearby and poured a glass of water, then handed it over with a smile. After Mr. Wu took it, he drank it in one big gulp.
Inside the room, there were bursts of Xu Yunyue's screams and the midwife's intermittent words: "What should I do? This..."
"The baby is too fat and can't come out!"
It was not until two and a half hours later that, after Xu Yunyue's startling scream, a midwife pushed her belly hard, followed by the loud cry of a baby.
"Aunt Yue gave birth! It's a little boy!"
Hearing this, Xu Yunyue wanted to ask for her to take a look at the child, but for some reason, she felt weak and her eyelids became heavier...
Of the two midwives, one quickly prepared the young master and took him out to announce the good news, while the other stayed to help Xu Yunyue clean up. As a result, when they lifted the quilt, they saw that the bedding was all stained with blood.
There was still blood gushing out, and she screamed, "Oh no! Aunt Yue is bleeding!"
Mr. Wu and Mrs. Wu outside just saw the fat baby brought out by the midwife.
Mrs. Wu looked very satisfied. The baby was white and plump and very cute.
But when they heard that Aunt Yue was bleeding, Mrs. Wu anxiously ordered, "Quick, go call the court doctor!"
Master Wu, who was standing by, heard this and yelled, "What's going on? Shouldn't the palace doctor be here when Concubine Yue is giving birth? Why did you call the palace doctor only now? Are you all dead? If anything happens to Concubine Yue, everyone in the palace will be fined twenty lashes and three months' salary!!"
"You...Puff!!!" Mr. Wu suddenly spat out blood and fell directly to the ground.
"Master!!! Wuuuu! Master, don't scare me!" Mrs. Wu threw herself on Master Wu, crying and shouting, looking sad and worried.
Three days later, what happened in the Wu Mansion directly affected every citizen.
"Hey, have you heard? Aunt Yue from the Wu Mansion has passed away. I heard she died of hemorrhage during childbirth. Oh, how pitiful! She was about to enjoy endless wealth and glory, but who knew she would die young!"
"Oh, you see, if she had a stronger life and gave birth to the only heir of the Wu family, and Mr. Wu loved him dearly, she would have been so blessed!"
"Oh, I heard that when Master Wu heard that Concubine Yue was dying, he was so sad that he vomited blood and fainted on the spot. Although he finally came back to life, he became a hemiplegic."
At this time, Mrs. Wu was very satisfied as she looked at Mr. Wu, who was sitting in a wheelchair with his hands and mouth twitching from time to time. This result was most beneficial to her.
The heir to the Wu family is still young. If the master really dies, the side branches will definitely be eyeing the Wu family's assets. With such a little baby, she may not be sure to stop those side branches from doing anything weird.
But the master is not dead. Although the side branches have their own ideas, at least they cannot openly break up with each other.
