Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam San is having a difficult labor caused by an abnormal fetal position. I've already used acupuncture to help the baby change his position, and he should be able to give birth soon."
In fact, he had checked Su Qingyu's pulse before the birth, and the fetal position was normal at that time. It was probably the baby twisting during the birth that caused the subsequent situation.
After hearing what Mr. Zhou said, Shen Zhixiu felt a little relieved, but he was still worried.
Another quarter of an hour later, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard in the delivery room.
This clear cry was like the sound of nature to Shen Zhixiu, the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.
The old lady who was kneeling and praying for Buddha's blessing also stood up, and Xiangdong and Yang helped her up.
A moment later, a midwife came out to announce the good news, "Congratulations, old lady, congratulations, Third Master, Third Madam has given birth to a little master."
The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this and said loudly, "A generous reward."
Shen Zhixiu asked anxiously, "How is Madam?"
The midwife smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Third Master. Madam is fine. She's just very tired and has fallen asleep."
Shen Zhixiu was still worried. The midwife might be good at delivering babies, but her medical skills were not good enough.
He turned to look at Mr. Zhou and said, "Your Highness, please help me take a look. I feel uneasy."
Mr. Zhou naturally agreed. Even if Shen Zhixiu didn't say it, he would go in to take the patient's pulse and prescribe medicine.
After Zhenzhu and the others helped Su Qingyu make the bed and change into clean bedding and clothes, everyone went in to see her.
Shen Zhixiu sat on the edge of the bed, took Su Qingyu's hand, and put her hand to his mouth.
"Qingqing, you have suffered."
Su Qingyu shook her head and looked around, obviously looking for the child.
Shen Zhixiu quickly said, "Don't move. The nurse has taken the child to the bathroom to take a bath. The child is fine. Just rest assured and take care of yourself."
The old lady, Madam Xiang and Madam Yang also came in and asked Su Qingyu about her well-being.
While they were talking, the wet nurse came out holding the washed child and bowed to the old lady.
"Sixth Young Master pays his respects to Grandmother, to the two aunts, and to Father and Mother."
The old lady quickly stood up, walked forward and looked at the child, unable to take her eyes off him for a moment.
"This child is really good-looking. His eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Qingyu, and the corners of his mouth are more like Zhixiu."
The newborn baby was pink and wrinkled, and certainly not pretty at all. But in the old lady's eyes, even the hair was pretty.
Yang and Madam Xiang also came over and looked at the little baby in the wet nurse's arms, and their hearts softened.
At this time, Shen Zhizheng was holding a warm cotton towel to wipe Su Qingyu's face. It was only when the old lady brought the child closer to him that he took a look.
He just took a glance and continued to help Su Qingyu wipe her hands.
In the following days, the news that Mr. Shen San had a son spread throughout the court, and Emperor Xuande even sent someone to give him a reward.
There was an endless stream of people sending in invitations daily hoping to visit and build relationships. However, apart from the Shen family's relatives and a few families he was on good terms with, Shen Zhixiu didn't meet anyone and refused to accept any gifts.
Since Su Qingyu gave birth, Lin Wanyin and Shen Yue have been visiting almost every day. Su Zhilan and Hai Shi also come to visit every two days.
Su Shunci came over whenever she had free time and wished she could live in the Shen family.
That day, she was standing by Su Qingyu's bed, teasing the baby on the bed, and it was obvious that she liked him very much.
The child was well behaved and didn't cry much. As the old lady said, she could tell he was a calm child.
Shen Zhixiu named the child Chen Cong, and Su Shunci called him Cong'er.
Su Qingyu also leaned sideways, supporting her head with one hand and holding the child's soft little hand with the other.
This was her son, her blood relative, but she still felt like she was dreaming, and it often seemed unreal.
The two sisters chatted and entertained the child.
Zhenzhu suddenly came in and reported, "Madam, Miss Bai has come to visit you with gifts."
Su Qingyu has not seen any guests these days, only her family members come to visit her from time to time.
When close relatives came to give gifts, it was Second Madam Yang who entertained them.
But Bai Youxin's identity is special, so it is not easy to let the second lady receive her, nor is it easy to send her away casually.
Although the Lin and Bai families have not yet formally proposed, the marriage has been agreed upon.
Su Qingyu doesn't have to worry about the Bai family, but she always has to consider her third cousin's face.
While she was thinking about it, she heard Su Shunci say, "Big sister, let me help you entertain Miss Bai. After all, she is a guest from our mother's family, so she should come in and have a cup of tea."
However, Su Qingyu didn't want Su Shunci to go, for fear that it would make her feel uncomfortable.
Seeing she was about to say something, Su Shunci spoke up first, "When my third cousin gets married, how can we not keep in touch? Besides, I've already let this matter go, and I don't find it difficult."
She said she had let it go, but only she knew how miserable she was. She said this just to avoid making Su Qingyu worry.
And she really thought so. With the relationship between the Lin family and Prince Ning's Mansion, and Lin Wuchen's help to her, they were bound to have contact with each other.
Can she never see Bai Youxin again in her life?
Not only can she not avoid seeing her, but when they meet, she has to call her third cousin-in-law.
Since this is the case, it is better to adapt as soon as possible.
Su Shunci remembered what Lin Wuchen had taught her: The best way to solve a problem is to face it head-on.
She agreed deeply with this. Just like this incident, she felt that she had seen Bai Youxin so many times and had become numb to it for a long time, so this incident would pass.
Su Qingyu couldn't persuade Su Shunci, so she had to let her go.
Su Shunci then told Zhenzhu, "Please ask Miss Bai to go to the living room for tea. I'll be there soon."
