After the midwife's examination, she reported to the Duke's wife that the fetal head had already descended into the pelvis, the baby was not too big, and Wen Zhu's pelvic condition was also very good.
Based on their years of experience and professional knowledge, the midwives judged that delivery should not be too difficult in this situation.
They suggested that waiting a little longer and letting the fetus be born naturally is the best option.
The Duke's wife was really anxious. She was afraid that any unexpected situation would happen and affect the safety of mother and child.
So he sent someone to find Doctor Qin.
Doctor Qin was a very patient doctor. He comforted the Duke's wife by saying that it was normal for pregnancy to last within fourteen days after the due date and there was no need to worry too much.
He also suggested that Wen Zhu walk up the stairs more often and exercise her body appropriately to help promote the delivery process.
So from then on, Su Yue supported Wen Zhu and climbed around on the rockery in the garden.
Although Wen Zhu has difficulty moving, he is still able to do some simple exercises under Su Yue's careful care, hoping to welcome the birth of his baby as soon as possible.
That night, Fu Yu came home from get off work and asked the maids to leave with a serious face. Only he and Wen Zhu were left in the room.
Then he slowly walked up to Wen Zhu and said awkwardly, "Well... I... have a way to make our child born earlier."
His expression seemed both nervous and expectant, as if what he was about to say was very important.
"What method?"
Wen Zhu asked in surprise, his eyes full of questions and curiosity.
"Yes... Doctor Qin told me."
Fu Yu said shyly, his face flushing slightly, and he was obviously not very comfortable with this matter.
"Tell me quickly, what is the solution?"
Wen Zhu's curiosity was completely aroused. She stared at her husband, eager to know the answer.
Looking at his wife's eyes full of curiosity and expectation, Fu Yu found it difficult to speak and didn't know how to start for a moment.
Finally, he mustered up the courage and reached out to touch Wen Zhu's chest.
Although the movement was slight, it carried a subtle hint of tension.
At this moment, Wen Zhu's body trembled involuntarily and his abdomen tensed.
Her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and a strange and bizarre feeling came over her.
"According to Doctor Qin, moderate stimulation can speed up the contractions of the uterus, making it easier for the baby to be born."
Fu Yu tried his best to make his tone sound calm, as if he was explaining a common medical knowledge, but the embarrassment on his face was still obvious.
Wen Zhu couldn't help but laugh when she saw her husband doing such an unusual thing and still maintaining such a serious look.
But at the same time, she felt a wave of shyness, which made her bury her face involuntarily in her husband's warm arms to hide the delicate feelings in her heart.
Originally, Wen Zhu hoped that she could give birth on her birthday. What a wonderful thing that would be!
But as the days passed, there was still no sign of pregnancy, which made Wen Zhu more and more anxious.
Therefore, during this period of time, she became extremely diligent and often walked up a lot of stairs to strengthen her exercise.
Finally, on September 29th, when Wen Zhu walked up the stairs to exercise as usual, he suddenly felt a vague pain in his abdomen.
The pain wasn't intense, but it was enough to get her attention.
In an instant, a feeling of joy rose from the bottom of his heart. Wen Zhu stopped and began to carefully experience this unprecedented physical change.
However, to her slight disappointment, the pain quickly disappeared, as if it had never been there.
Is all this just my own illusion?
This question flashed through Wen Zhu's mind.
But she decided to ignore her doubts and chose to persevere and continue practicing the seemingly simple activity of walking up the stairs.
After climbing half the stairs again and taking a short rest, the familiar feeling of discomfort appeared again.
Although the pain still came and went quickly, it seemed to be hinting at something - perhaps this was a sign of impending labor?
Thinking of this, Wen Zhu quickly stood up, no longer hesitated, and began to walk back and forth.
As her pace increased, she gradually discovered that the pain that was originally intermittent now became more frequent and obvious.
After confirming the situation, she hurried back to Chunhuayuan and immediately told everyone the news.
After listening to Su Yue's report, Aunt Mei sighed inwardly, thinking that this girl is indeed a stubborn one.
He immediately ordered his servant to find Doctor Qin and called two experienced midwives.
The servants sprang into action, and began to make preparations in a tense and orderly manner.
In every corner of the mansion, servants were hurrying back and forth. Some were busy boiling water in front of the stove to prepare for the delivery; others were carefully organizing the various supplies needed to ensure that everything was in order.
Upon hearing the news, the Duke's wife and Zhao Manxiang rushed over immediately, both of them showing extremely anxious expressions on their faces.
The Duke's wife was concerned about her family, especially Wen Zhu who was in a critical moment at this moment. She hurriedly walked towards the depths of the courtyard, hoping that her presence could bring a little comfort to the family.
Zhao Manxiang, who followed closely behind, did not slow down at all. Although she still had some complicated emotions hidden in her heart, she still showed great concern about the situation in front of her.
Housekeeper Li has always been alert and cautious, and has his own spies planted everywhere in the house.
After learning that Wen Zhu was about to give birth, he immediately ordered his men to go to the Ministry of Works to find Fu Yu so that he could return home as soon as possible to accompany his beloved wife through this important moment.
Not long after, Fu Yu's anxious figure was seen walking quickly from outside, almost at a speed that could be described as "running fast".
Obviously, he rushed back after receiving the news, without caring about his own image or identity at all.
His face was filled with worry and anxiety, and his eyes were filled with anxious anticipation.
Nanny Mei, who had just come out of the room, was reporting the current progress in detail to the people waiting outside, but her words were quickly interrupted by Fu Yu, who was coming towards her and looked extremely nervous.
"Why didn't I hear Wen Zhu's voice? Is she okay?"
Fu Yu asked, his voice filled with worry that was hard to conceal.
"Don't worry, this one in our family has always been very strong. I told her in advance that she should learn to endure the pain and not cry too loudly. This will help her save her energy to cope with the final real delivery process."
Aunt Mei replied with a smile, trying to comfort the extremely anxious man in front of her, "As expected, Miss Wen Zhu is trying hard to control herself now."
After hearing Aunt Mei's explanation, Fu Yu felt a little relieved, although his face was still full of worry.
