Chapter 67 Passerby A in Ancient Marriage Exchange Stories 12
"My wife, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I feel a bit uncomfortable in my stomach."
"Don't worry, your mother has already gone to fetch Doctor Wang. It might be good news," Father Jiang said to his anxious son, putting down his chopsticks.
Jiang Ze also realized something, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face. Before long, Chen invited Doctor Wang back. Doctor Wang was also puzzled and was in a hurry, thinking that something had happened.
After he took her pulse, he realized it was a pregnancy pulse. No wonder he was in such a hurry: "Congratulations, it's a pregnancy pulse. The fetus is over a month along."
These words made the Jiang family members extremely happy. Su Wanqing touched her belly with a happy smile on her face. She had been envious of her neighbor's daughter-in-law's pregnancy a few days ago, but she never expected that she would also be pregnant today. It was a real surprise.
Mrs. Chen gave the doctor a large red envelope and politely saw him off. The whole family was overjoyed. Although the baby was only a little over a month old, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Chen had already begun to discuss preparing clothes and other items for the baby.
The excitement and joy that Jiang Ze felt when he learned that his wife was pregnant was beyond words. His heart was pounding as if it were about to explode, and he was even laughing blankly at the air for a while before he came to his senses.
"hey-hey....."
"What are you laughing at? Quickly help your wife back to her room to rest." Mrs. Chen couldn't stand seeing her son's silly behavior anymore.
After realizing what was happening, Jiang Ze carefully helped Su Wanqing back to her room. He treated her like a fragile doll the whole way, and Jiang Yue laughed at his overly cautious manner.
Over the next few months, Jiang Ze studied while taking care of his wife, Su Wanqing, who was suffering from severe morning sickness and had a large belly.
Jiang Yue took their pulses and discovered they were twins, so she took even better care of them.
Although Jiang Yue had never studied obstetrics and gynecology, she still knew some basic knowledge. Thanks to Jiang Yue, although there were some minor issues, she quietly resolved them all.
During this time, a major event also occurred: the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince's plot to rebel failed. The Third Prince attempted to assassinate the emperor but was killed in the end. The Seventh Prince was coerced by the Third Prince and ended up guarding the imperial tomb. At this point, the plot has deviated from the original storyline, and Jiang Yue reasonably suspects that the female lead must have been involved.
Otherwise, how could the Seventh Prince have rebelled? He was clearly hiding his true intentions and still managed to ascend the throne. He died without ever doing anything in his life. No one would believe it if the female lead and Jiang Yue hadn't intervened. Having a national advisor as a backer is really advantageous. I bet he even discovered the spoilers by observing the celestial phenomena at night. I don't know how the emperor believed it. Of course, he might have just pretended not to notice anything unusual, since it would benefit him.
When Su Wanqing was eight months pregnant with twins, her belly was really big. Jiang Ze was nervous looking at her taut belly. Su Wanqing was also uncomfortable because Jiang Yue knew that she needed to exercise properly. She took her for a walk every day, but she was exhausted after just a few steps.
Jiang Yue knew that twins had a higher chance of being born prematurely than normal, so she hired a midwife early on and then bought two maids. Jiang Yue was also prepared to step in herself in case of an emergency. She had already cleaned a room and prepared the necessary items for surgery in her spatial storage. She had considered this situation in the last world. If she couldn't get to the hospital in time, the items she had prepared would be enough to support one surgery.
At the end of the month, Jiang Ze was reading while Jiang Yue was talking to Su Wanqing. Suddenly, Su Wanqing showed signs of labor. Jiang Yue called Jiang Ze and the others, and with the calm and collected Zhi Ruo directing everyone to do what they were supposed to do, Jiang Ze wandered around like a headless fly. Jiang Yue told him to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Jiang Yue knew that this was only the first stage and that it was still a long way from giving birth. She talked and chatted with Su Wanqing, telling her not to be afraid or anxious. Jiang Yue's calm attitude also infected Su Wanqing. When Jiang Ze brought over a bowl of noodles, Jiang Yue told Su Wanqing to finish it. She said that she would need strength to give birth later, and it wouldn't work if she didn't have strength. After she finished eating, Jiang Yue helped Su Wanqing walk around. Because the contractions were very painful, she also taught her some auxiliary pain relief exercises.
Because Su Wanqing was a first-time mother, this stage lasted a long time. It wasn't until evening that she entered the second stage. Jiang Yue took Su Wanqing into the room, and the midwife followed her in. Then the whole family waited at the door.
"Mother, how is it? How much longer?"
"Not yet, this is Wanqing's first pregnancy, it's going to be slow."
Jiang Ze felt a little relieved after hearing what Chen said. At this moment, cries of pain came from the delivery room again. Jiang Ze could no longer remain calm. His father and Chen had to pull him into the delivery room.
Jiang Yue was anxious, and so was Jiang Yue. She had originally planned to just keep an eye on the midwife, but she couldn't help herself after a while. She wished she had gone in too. The group waited outside, and Jiang Yue felt much more at ease listening to the sounds inside. So far, the midwife's actions had been correct.
Jiang Ze was getting increasingly anxious, but he knew that going in would only cause more trouble, so he could only worry from the outside.
Several hours later, in the middle of the night, the midwife's exclamation came from the delivery room: "Madam, push! Don't let your guard down! It's almost out!"
Actually, Su Wanqing was already quite weak halfway through, but luckily Jiang Yue was prepared and had a maid bring in some chocolates to feed her when she was too tired. Jiang's father and Chen Shi even asked the midwife if she could eat and drink before they felt relieved and let Jiang Yue give the things to the maid.
After a while, one baby was finally born. The midwife held the baby, cleaned its nose and mouth, patted its bottom, and waited for the baby to cry before she felt relieved. Su Wanqing barely opened her eyes to look at the baby. The pain had just subsided a little when it started to hurt again. Fortunately, because she had eaten something or something else, she had some strength and the second baby was much easier to give birth to.
After the baby was cleaned up in the delivery room, two maids brought the baby out: "Congratulations, Master! A son and a daughter, you have both a son and a daughter!" Father Jiang and Madam Chen took care of the baby, while Jiang Ze and Jiang Yue waited for Su Wanqing to come out. After a while, the midwife also came out and said that both mother and child were healthy. Jiang Ze gave the midwife a large red envelope, and the midwife thanked him and then went about her business.
After Jiang Ze and Jiang Yue entered the delivery room, a maid was tidying them up. Jiang Ze went over and touched Su Wanqing's face: "Wan'er, the baby is healthy. Thank you. You've worked so hard."
Su Wanqing, pale-faced and covered in sweat, said, "It's alright, it's not hard, as long as the baby is healthy." After saying a few words, Jiang Ze carried her back to the room.
After a busy day, Jiang Yue finally landed safely and breathed a sigh of relief. Only after Jiang Ze took care of his wife did he have time to come and see the baby. To be honest, newborn babies are not very good-looking, but none of these people felt that the baby was very beautiful. Chen Shi and Jiang's father could tell who the baby looked like, but Jiang Yue did not have that skill.
