How could she possibly encounter such a terrible thing? Seriously.
"Alright, let's not get involved in this. We can't do anything about it anyway. Let's just see how it goes. Hopefully, this lady will be alright, otherwise what will happen to her child?" Mingxiu looked at the woman giving birth with some sympathy.
No matter when, women are always in a vulnerable position in this world. It's best if the mother is alright. If something happens, her family can't be relied on, and the child can only be sent to her husband. But with a stepmother comes a stepfather, and this applies at all times, especially when it's just a small child. At this point, it's incredibly easy to make a child disappear.
"Don't worry, Madam. The young doctor just said it's nothing serious. She's just a little frightened and will recover soon," Qingya said to Mingxiu as she walked over. Behind her, the young doctor was giving acupuncture to the woman who had just given birth.
Mingxiu nodded and led her people over to tell Kangxi what was going on.
A short while later, everyone heard a series of loud wails coming from the other side.
Mingxiu looked over in surprise.
Sure enough, we heard cheers from that side.
After a while, Qingya and the others arrived, and the young doctor had already finished getting ready.
"Replying to Madam, that lady was somewhat frightened. This childbirth was a bit late in life, so it took a toll on her health. But there's no danger to her life. I just told them that. It's just that it might be a bit more complicated if she wants to have another child in the future."
"Okay, you said it, that's all we can do. Alright, you rest for a while and get ready to go back." Mingxiu said calmly. She wasn't a saint, and these things had nothing to do with him in the first place. She had already done a great job.
Moreover, at this point, it's already quite good that you can save your life.
After giving her instructions, Mingxiu told Kangxi that everyone should begin their journey to their lodgings.
After the woman finished tidying up, she looked at the child in her arms and remembered the doctor who had just saved her life.
By then, Mingxiu and the others had all disappeared.
“Don’t worry, Madam. Although we don’t know who they are, they are foreigners and must live in the wealthy area. We can just go and look for them; they’re easy to find,” said the maid beside her.
The woman who had just given birth nodded. "Very good. Let's go back first. Remember this. Don't forget it. Find them quickly. I must thank them in person."
After saying "Yes," they hurried back.
The group of people had also arrived at their accommodation.
As soon as Mingxiu and Kangxi returned to their room, they locked the door and jumped into the space.
"Oh, it's so much more comfortable inside. I've been exhausted from being out all this time," Mingxiu complained, lying on the sofa with her legs crossed.
"If you're tired, take a rest. I'll run you a bath so you can soak and relax," Kangxi said, looking at Mingxiu with some concern, even though he knew Mingxiu hadn't been working that hard lately.
Mingxiu's eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly. Although she could go to fetch the water herself, it would be even better if someone helped her.
No matter how comfortable the outer room was, it couldn't compare to the freedom inside the space, since it was just the two of them. So, when no one was outside, the two of them would either go inside the space, or Mingxiu would be inside while Kangxi observed the situation outside.
"You know, I wonder if the rules for postpartum care are the same on both sides," Mingxiu muttered to Kangxi, clearly still not forgetting the woman who gave birth on the street.
It is very difficult for a woman to have a proper postpartum period, and this discomfort can last a lifetime. In mild cases, it can cause back pain, leg cramps, watery eyes, and splitting headaches. In severe cases, it can lead to death or shorten lifespan.
Mingxiu vaguely remembered reading in that book that the old-fashioned customs of the past included a lot of requirements for postpartum care. In modern times, these have been greatly simplified, and with the convenience of life, it is already very comfortable, but it is still a kind of suffering.
I wonder if foreigners observe postpartum confinement after giving birth!
Mingxiu pondered seriously.
Kangxi sighed and looked at Mingxiu's serious face, saying, "Whether it's the same or not has nothing to do with you. If nothing unexpected happens, we won't see each other again. Just take care of yourself."
Mingxiu pouted. She just wanted to ask. She didn't know what was wrong with her lately. Maybe it was because of her dream that she returned to the modern world. So she kept thinking about things from before.
"I was just thinking about it, I didn't really plan to say it to anyone. I'm just curious if foreigners' bodies are different from ours. Before, I would suffer terribly every month because of my period, even though I took good care of myself every month, not eating cold or spicy food, but it didn't work. But I see other people, not to mention that, even after giving birth, they can still go out in the wind and eat ice, and they're perfectly fine. I really don't understand it." Mingxiu pondered.
Every time Mingxiu saw this scene, she felt that her stomach pain had worsened. Why was it that other people were fine, but no matter how well she took care of herself, it didn't work? The most important thing was that she couldn't be like them and not take care of herself, otherwise, next time she came, her relatives would send her straight to the hospital.
Mingxiu was a frequent visitor to the hospital back then.
