When Murong Shu arrived at Madam Wen's courtyard, Madam Wen, Madam Wen's first wife, and Wen Ye were all waiting in the courtyard. Madam Wen's first wife was persuading Madam Wen, "Mother, please go back to the courtyard and rest first. The midwife said it's too early. Your daughter-in-law will send someone to notify you when the baby is about to be born."
"This is your second sister-in-law's first child, and I'm worried. You don't have to worry about me. If I can't hold on any longer, I'll go to the next room to rest for a while. You don't have to worry about me. Go and see if there's anything you can do to help." Old Madam Wen didn't want to go back to her own yard. She felt more at ease waiting here.
"Old Madam, First Madam, Second Master, Miss Mu is here." The little maid's voice made everyone's faces light up. When they heard that Murong Shu had arrived, they quickly stood up to greet her, except for Wen Ye, of course, because he was already standing and had been walking back and forth in front of the old madam.
"Shu'er is here, that's great." Ever since Murong Shu helped deliver the Queen's difficult labor, Old Madam Wen has trusted her very much, not to mention that she is now the fiancée of her third son.
"Aunt, Madam, and Second Master, hello." Murong Shu bowed to everyone, but was held up by Madam Wen with both hands.
"We are all family, Shu'er, you don't have to be polite. My second brother's wife started to go in for labor at noon, but the baby hasn't been born yet. I'd like to trouble you to go in and take a look." Madam Wen really likes Murong Shu, and she is always more gentle when speaking to him.
"Miss Mu, thank you for your help. I am grateful for your kindness." Wen Ye's eyes were red at this moment, as if he could cry at any time. He and the Second Madam had a very good relationship. At this moment, his wife was suffering in the room, and he was in great pain.
"It's serious. Shu'er will go in and take a look first. Everyone else don't need to worry." After saying hello to a few people, Murong Shu went to the delivery room first.
In the delivery room.
The midwife was explaining to the Second Madam the precautions to take during childbirth. The Second Madam was in good spirits at the moment and not in a bad state. She was very happy to see Murong Shu come in.
"Shu'er, you're here. They said we have to wait before giving birth." Murong Shu's arrival eased the Second Madam's tension, as if she had found her backbone.
"Mr. Wen is almost crying outside, but Madam Second is still smiling. Stretch out your hand and let Shu'er feel your pulse." Seeing that Madam Second was in good condition, Murong Shu joked with her and took her pulse.
Murong Shu stayed in the delivery room and observed for a while. He found that Madam Wen's contractions were very regular and the fetus was fine. It would take some time to give birth to the baby.
But seeing that the Second Madam was in great pain during labor, Murong Shu hesitated for a moment and whispered a few words in the Second Madam's ear. The Second Madam was ecstatic at first, then nodded firmly.
Then the Second Madam found an excuse to send everyone out of the room. Murong Shu put a blindfold on the Second Madam, did a detailed examination, and gave her an epidural based on her condition.
Not long after the painkiller was given, the second wife felt numbness in her lower body. The contraction pain just now disappeared, and she felt a lot more relieved instantly.
"Shu'er, it really doesn't hurt anymore. The secret medicine your master researched is so useful. Thank you, Shu'er." Madam Wen was now full of gratitude to Murong Shu.
"Second Madam, this secret medicine is very stressful every time it is used, so please keep it a secret." Murong Shu begged the Second Madam to keep it a secret. In this uncertain age, she could only push it all to her master.
"Don't worry, Shu'er. You and I know this, and we will never tell anyone else." The Second Lady mistakenly thought that every use would cause damage to Murong Shu's body, and she felt very guilty. At the same time, she also knew that such things could not be spread to outsiders. Murong Shu was not only her benefactor, but also someone who the Wen family could not afford to let any mistakes happen to.
"Madam, you can ask someone to prepare whatever you want to eat. The effect of this secret medicine can last for a while. I'll call your aunt, the eldest lady and the second master to come in." Murong Shu felt that it would be more reassuring to let them come in and take a look.
"I'm really a little hungry. Shu'er, please help me invite them in." Mrs. Wen was in a very good mood and even felt hungry.
Murong Shu first asked Madam Mu to arrange for someone to send some food over, and then invited a few people in. They were very surprised to see that the Second Madam acted as if nothing had happened.
But no one asked why. They all looked at Murong Shu with gratitude, especially Wen Ye. He knew that Miss Mu had a way, and they would slowly repay this kindness in the future.
Madam Wen ate something and chatted with a few people for a while. Then slowly the numb feeling began to subside and a slight pain began to come. Madam Wen glanced at Murong Shu, and Murong Shu immediately understood.
"The Second Madam is about to go into labor. Everyone please go out first. The Second Master will call the midwives in so we can get ready." Murong Shu felt that the time was almost up and they had to get ready.
"Miss Mu, can I stay?" Wen Ye held the Second Madam's hand, reluctant to leave.
"Second Master, if you stay it will affect the Second Madam. Please rest assured that I'm here." It wasn't that Murong Shu didn't want Wen Ye to stay in the delivery room, but he was worried that Wen Ye would affect the Second Madam's delivery.
"Listen to Shu'er, you go out with mother and your sister-in-law." Old Madam Wen's tone left no room for negotiation, and she encouraged her daughter-in-law a few more times before leaving.
After they left, the delivery room became busy. The midwives invited were very experienced and everything went on in an orderly manner.
When the cervix was dilated to about 9-10 fingers, Murong Shu gave the second wife another golden needle. Then, with the joint efforts of the midwife and several rounds of encouragement and pushing, a lovely little life was born.
Murong Shu held the child in her hands and showed it to the Second Madam. The Second Madam was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears. After so many years with her husband, she finally had her own child.
Murong Shu had the second wife clean up and fed her a small bowl of ginseng soup. He then told the midwife not to take the child out and asked several people to go directly to the side room to see the child.
Wen Ye gave up going to see the child and went to see his wife first. Seeing that his wife was only a little tired, he was full of gratitude to Murong Shu.
Murong Shu was afraid that the two would thank him profusely, so he went next door to look after the children, leaving the space for the couple.
Murong Shu was explaining to Old Madam Wen and Madam Wen next door why it was not recommended to take the newborn baby away. The old ladies listened carefully and even decided to wait until the baby was three months old before holding the full-month banquet, and even skipped the third-day bath.
When Prime Minister Wen, Wen Zhi and Wen Jing were on duty in the evening, the second young master of the Wen family had been born safely. When they heard that it was a young master, they smiled at each other. They said that it was impossible for the second son\/second brother\/second elder brother to give birth to a daughter.
Although it was a little different from his expectations, Wen Ye was still very happy. His wife had given birth to the baby with great effort, and both the boy and girl loved it. The Wen family invited Murong Shu to stay for dinner, and Wen Ye thanked Murong Shu profusely.
