Chapter 57 A Good Show
Inside the room, on the bed in front, Yan Fengxiao was sitting quietly.
The man in the black robe was imposing, and his slightly raised phoenix eyes were filled with a hint of coldness.
The next moment, he waved slightly.
"Take it."
At a command, five or six people rushed out from the room which was originally extremely quiet and seemed to be empty in the blink of an eye.
The two midwives opened their eyes wide with fear and just as they were about to scream, someone covered their mouths and noses.
Yan Fengxiao's expression was grim, and he said calmly, "Shut their mouths, tie them up and throw them aside."
"Yes, Governor."
This incident made the two midwives look horrified, and their eyes revealed fear and shock.
However, Yan Fengxiao didn't listen to their explanation at all and let the two men be tied up and thrown aside.
After dealing with the two midwives, people started to come in one after another.
Two people disguised as Li Wenpo and another midwife walked into the room with their heads lowered and saluted Yan Fengxiao.
"Greetings, Governor."
Yan Fengxiao glanced at the two of them.
"You stay here and keep an eye on these two. If there's anything unusual, arrest them all."
"I have received your orders."
These two women are obviously Yan Fengxiao's subordinates.
Judging from their fingers and body shapes, they all have martial arts skills, so catching a few thieves is no problem for them.
Yan Fengxiao slowly stood up. He came here early just to see the two midwives.
After confirming that these two people are suspicious, it is time to close the net.
This is the delivery room that Qin Mingzhu specially prepared for herself.
All the servants in the entire mistress's compound gathered here at this time.
Chunhua walked in from outside the yard, greeted Qiuyue, and then stepped into the room.
After all, she was the Marquis's personal maid, so it would be somewhat strange if she was not there.
Inside the delivery room, everyone had serious expressions on their faces, preparing various things in a serious manner.
One of the women was lying on the big bed, screaming in pain from time to time.
However, there was no sign of Qin Mingzhu in the room.
Chunhua sat on a chair beside her with some worry and sighed.
Her wife has become more and more mysterious recently, but she said that she has to perform well in tonight's play, so she has to be alert and not reveal her true identity.
Two hours have passed since Chunhua shouted that his wife was about to give birth.
At this moment, Qin Mingzhu was sitting in a spacious room.
However, the decoration of this room is not in the simple and rustic style of the marquis's mansion, but rather grand and luxurious.
The entire bed was made of fine rosewood, with the headboard carved with exquisite patterns. A light blue gauze curtain hung down, vaguely blocking her view.
Just an hour ago, she was secretly taken to the Governor's Mansion by Yan Fengxiao.
And this room was another delivery room that Yan Fengxiao had specially prepared for her.
It was getting dark outside. Qin Mingzhu was actually fine. She had just shouted that she was about to give birth just to make preparations in advance.
It’s not yet time for this pregnancy to really start.
The door to the room opened.
Yan Fengxiao walked in with a lot of people.
Qin Mingzhu sat up straight and raised her eyebrows slightly when she saw Yan Fengxiao and the group of people behind him.
"It's not good for more people to know that you brought me here."
Yan Fengxiao nodded slightly, "It's okay, these people are trustworthy."
He stepped aside, and an elderly doctor stepped forward carrying a medicine box and saluted Qin Mingzhu politely: "I am Fang Wei, the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital in the palace. Nice to meet the Marquis..."
Qin Mingzhu couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard the name.
"I've heard of Doctor Fang's reputation."
The judge was taken aback for a moment, then smiled amiably, "I was invited by the governor today, so Madam Hou, please rest assured."
Qin Mingzhu's mind was slightly disturbed.
This person is the chief judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau and someone close to the emperor.
Even this person was invited here, and he had to keep the matter secret. Needless to say, Yan Fengxiao must have paid a heavy price.
Then, two other maids who looked younger came forward.
Yan Fengxiao said, "This is Nanny Zhou, and this is Aunt Ning."
Two midwives came over one after another and saluted Qin Mingzhu.
"Greetings, Madam Hou. We are fortunate to have been recognized by the Governor and honored to be able to deliver your baby."
The identities of these two people are obviously extraordinary.
They are not comparable to the two midwives hired by the Marquis' Mansion.
They are all the kind of people who actually deliver babies for the empresses in the palace.
Normally, it would be a big deal to invite one of these two people.
But just in case, Yan Fengxiao took great pains to invite both of them over.
This is not something that can be achieved by spending some money.
Qin Mingzhu was so surprised that she couldn't express it.
For her pregnancy, Yan Fengxiao was even more worried than she was.
Qin Mingzhu couldn't help but smile, her eyes curved like crescent moons.
The child in her belly had suffered many disasters in his previous life, but in this life, when he was born, his parents were by his side.
In fact, this baby was born much earlier than scheduled.
Just because Yan Yunyue pushed her not long ago.
That fall completely damaged her vitality, causing the fetus to be unstable and the baby to be born prematurely.
She is fully prepared in this life.
"I'm sorry to trouble the governor."
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Yan Fengxiao with a smile.
Some bloodshot could be vaguely seen in Yan Fengxiao's eyes.
It must be because she couldn't sleep for several nights because of the upcoming birth of her baby.
His voice was slightly low. "I'll just be guarding outside."
He left these words, then turned and walked out the door with a reluctant look.
…
No one knew that a big drama was quietly unfolding in the Marquis' Mansion at this moment.
From time to time, a woman's screams could be heard from the delivery room, and basins of blood and clean hot water were exchanged.
At the door, maids came in and out from time to time, holding various things in their hands, and looked very busy.
The servants who heard the noise from outside the courtyard gate could not help but be shocked.
My wife has been crying for a long time since the afternoon. It seems that it will be difficult for this baby to be born safely.
A figure hurried over with some people. Lin Hongrong stood at the gate of the courtyard. She did not go in, but pulled a servant in the courtyard and asked, "How is my sister-in-law?"
The busy maid's face was covered in sweat.
"The situation isn't good. The midwife said that the lady is having a difficult labor."
Lin Hongrong immediately showed an anxious expression, "What should I do? Sister-in-law must not get into trouble. Oh, right, I have something here that can induce labor. It's a method my mother used back then. I've written down the instructions. Can you bring it to the room for me and see if it can help?"
After saying this, Lin Hongrong directly handed a palm-sized box to the maid.
