Chapter 208 If You Are Afraid, Don’t Give Birth
As a close friend, Chen Heng naturally had to visit and stay by her side at this time.
Fortunately, the Meng family had made preparations for Peng's delivery. Even with such an emergency, Xie Jian and Shen Heng were able to carry out the pregnancy in an orderly manner.
Compared with the busy Meng family, Peng Yunrong, who was standing aside wiping her tears, seemed out of place. The little girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked pretty and lovely. No one knew what had happened to her that she came all the way from Yuezhou.
how come?
"Third Miss, Miss Peng asked you to go back to the courtyard and stay there. You are not allowed to leave the courtyard without her permission." The maid brought by Peng's family walked up to Peng Yunrong and said.
"Is my sister okay?" Peng Yunrong asked worriedly.
The maid said nothing, but just signaled the servant to take Peng Yunrong away.
Chen Heng walked forward and asked worriedly, "How is Yun Zhao?"
“Don’t worry, Madam Shen. The midwife said that even if she endures a little pain, it should be fine.” The maid bowed and entered the delivery room.
Meng Xuanlang was pacing anxiously outside, and Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng were also standing by.
"What's going on? Tell me." Meng Xuanlang asked the old nanny beside his wife with a gloomy face. Seeing that she was concerned about the presence of others, he said impatiently: "Zixuan and Madam Shen are not outsiders. Is there anything you can't say? Madam is like this, and you are still hiding it?"
"Son-in-law, the young master of the Si family and his wife went back to Prince Ning's mansion to visit their relatives. The third young lady bribed the maid of the Si family and followed them secretly." The old nanny said with a face full of shame.
"It's here, so what's there to be angry about, ma'am? Are you so angry that you've caused a miscarriage?"
The old nanny hesitated for a moment, then knelt down and said, "Sir, this concerns the Third Young Lady's reputation, so I dare not say anything. You should ask her after she gives birth."
A matter of reputation? Meng Xuanlang was choked. It was inappropriate for her to come here dressed as a maid, but at most she was just mischievous. Could there be something else?
Chen Heng and Xie Jian looked at each other.
These words reminded Chen Heng of the days when Peng had just married. She had accompanied her on a boat trip and when they encountered the Ning Wang Mansion's boat, Miss Yunrong asked her, "Sister-in-law Chen, which one is the legitimate daughter of the Ning Wang Mansion?"
After looking at Liu Zhiyue, she said with a look of astonishment, "Is she really so beautiful?"
At the time, Shen Heng felt strange. What was wrong with the little girl? The ancients said that most matters of reputation were related to men. Thinking about the little girl's reaction to Liu Zhiyue, Shen Heng was surprised. Could it be what she thought?
It was not until the middle of the night that intermittent suppressed cries of pain from Mrs. Peng were heard from the delivery room, which made Shen Heng tremble with fear.
At daybreak, there was still no sign of the baby in Peng's belly being born, so the mistress of the Meng family called almost all the midwives in the imperial capital to be on standby.
After a night of waiting, Chen Heng felt physically exhausted and had to go home first.
"Mrs. Chen is so thoughtful," Mrs. Meng had always liked Chen Heng over the years. She was a well-behaved child, both in business and in life. "I'll send someone to announce the good news as soon as Yun Zhao gives birth."
"Madam, don't worry too much. Madam Peng is blessed by heaven, and everything will be fine." Shen Heng bowed.
Xie Jian patted Meng Xuanlang on the shoulder and said, "I'll come over with Aheng tonight."
At this time, the sky was already slightly bright.
The two of them got into the carriage. Xie Jian saw that Shen Heng looked depressed and took her hand: "If you are tired, lean on me and rest for a while."
Shen Heng leaned her face on his shoulder and took his arm: "Ajian, I'm afraid of giving birth."
