An Yuan'er patted her head.
An Yuan'er, you're still a child! Don't overthink things.
...
A group of women waited at the door for a long time.
"Wow wow~~~"
The silence of the night was broken by the cry of a baby.
"It's born!" Everyone was overjoyed at the arrival of the new life.
"Dong dong dong!" Not long after, the midnight bell rang.
Lady Lihua's pregnancy was so late, yet she still almost didn't make it to the auspicious day. Perhaps even God wasn't willing to help her.
The child cried for a while, then the sound subsided.
Although it wasn't a son, it was still a boy.
The old lady asked with concern, "Why is Fifth Young Master's crying so soft?"
"Your Majesty, this child barely escaped death; it's already a miracle he was born safely. The illness he was born with will likely require even more meticulous care, otherwise he might die young!"
The old lady sighed, "Never mind. The An family isn't so poor that they can't raise a child. If they raise him well, he can grow up."
Before long, the midwife called out again.
"Oh no, oh no, Madam is hemorrhaging!"
Although they had anticipated that the mother's condition was in danger, everyone's expressions were still heavy when the moment actually arrived.
The mother struggled to give birth, yet she couldn't even see her child. It's truly tragic and pitiful.
An Yuan'er thought of her own mother and felt a pang of emotion. How much a child without a mother longs for maternal love.
In my past life, my younger brother was not sickly, and my aunt did not have a difficult childbirth.
Madam Lihua was truly despicable, but An Yuan'er felt uneasy about her death.
Is there any hope?
The female healer said, "We will do our best to help. However, the lady has lost too much blood and her condition is not good. Unless a miracle occurs, otherwise..."
Recalling the events of the day, the old lady repeatedly cried out, "What a tragedy! What a tragedy! What has happened to the An family that has caused them to suffer one misfortune after another?"
The old lady knelt down before Zhang Tianshi with a thud and said devoutly, "Please, Zhang Tianshi, guide me and save the An family."
An Yuan'er gestured to Zhang Tianshi, indicating that it was almost time.
Zhang Tianshi understood.
"I just performed a divination for the An family and found a star flashing in the southeast, indicating that a star has not returned to its proper position, which is causing this series of changes?"
The old lady carefully considered Zhang Tianshi's words.
"The star hasn't returned to its position? Southeast?"
All the people in the An family were in the mansion and had never gone far away.
The old lady glanced at An Yuan'er out of the corner of her eye and suddenly remembered that An Yuan'er's brother, An Huaishou, had been sent away in his early years to a farming family in a small town on the southeastern border.
Could it be?
Although the old lady had doubts, she was not certain.
Six years ago, the Taoist master predicted that the second young master was incompatible with the An family, but Zhang the Taoist master said that the second young master needed to come home.
The old lady couldn't immediately tell which of the two celestial masters' words was true.
An Yuan'er was anxious; things had come to this point, and she couldn't let the opportunity go to waste.
She asked innocently, "Grandmother, it's Yuan'er's brother who hasn't come home, right? Master Zhang's Taoist magic is profound, he can't be wrong."
"Grandmother, Yuan'er misses her brother. Let him come home."
The little girl's voice was earnest, and she longed for her brother.
The women had just witnessed a difficult childbirth and did not want to see a tragic separation.
Then someone spoke up in support: "Perhaps the Taoist priest from six years ago made a mistake, or perhaps the prophecy has changed. Yuan'er misses her brother, so let the second young master go home."
