Chapter 66: Third aunt had a difficult delivery?
The night was as cold as water. Su Yue opened the window and subconsciously glanced at the dilapidated house not far away. It was so pitch black over there that she could not see anything clearly.
Thinking about the man in black, it seemed that she hadn't visited him in the past few days. She thought he had left long ago. He was just a chance acquaintance. There was really no need for her to care too much about him. She had her own things to do.
"Xiao He, you have behaved very well these past few days, so your monthly salary will be doubled this month. Also, go and inform Butler Su to find the best midwife in the entire imperial city as soon as possible, and have her come out of the city with me tomorrow." Su Yue looked out the window, thinking of how her third aunt had lost her child in her previous life. In this life, she must save the child.
"Thank you, Second Miss. You taught me well. I'll go right away." Xiao He smiled, bowed, and retreated respectfully.
The next day, Su Yue went to Tingqin Pavilion early to find Gu, but was told that Gu had already been waiting for her at the gate.
When I reached the gate, I saw my father's carriage parked at the door. The prime minister's carriage was the most luxurious in the prime minister's mansion.
Su Yue saw Gu lift the door curtain, waved at her with a smile, and motioned her to get on the carriage.
"Mother, why are we riding in father's carriage?" Su Yue asked about her doubts as soon as she got in the car. After all, her father strongly opposed them to have anything to do with the Gu family.
Gu took Su Yue's cold hand and put it into her fur coat to cover it. She smiled softly, "Your third uncle got the care of General Yang and led the army to recapture a city alone."
Although Gu did not say it explicitly, Su Yue guessed that when the news of his third uncle's recapture of the city reached the court, the emperor would certainly be very happy.
Once the emperor was happy, he naturally became less disgusted with the Gu family than before, and her father, who was a opportunist, naturally softened his attitude as well.
This is my father, he would never put himself in danger.
"That's great!" Although she disdained her father's behavior, she was happy from the bottom of her heart when she thought that her mother could return to her parents' home openly.
"It is all thanks to the care of General Yang. There were many people in the court who were on good terms with my father and flattered him before. But after my father got into trouble, there were only a few real friends left. General Yang has been my father's best friend for decades." Thinking of her childhood, Gu couldn't help but smile softly.
General Yang only came back once every few years, and every time he would drag my father out for a drink. My father was just a scholar, so how could he drink more than the general? Every time, my father was sent back lying down.
When I heard my mother mention General Yang, I remembered that in his previous life, General Yang firmly supported the third prince to become the crown prince. However, it was also because of this that he fell into the trap of the second prince and was eventually convicted of treason by the emperor. His military power was taken away and his entire clan was executed.
Su Yue sighed in her heart. In her previous life, she was obsessed with the gentleness of the Second Prince and knew very little about these family relationships. In addition, this General Yang was stationed at the border all year round, and she had never met him before.
After being reborn this time, I don’t know if I will have the ability to help General Yang and his family change their fate.
The carriage jolted along and soon arrived at Gu's old house.
"Ah..." Su Yue and the others heard heart-wrenching screams before they got out of the carriage. It was obvious that the third aunt had already started.
Hearing this voice, Su Yue was a little dazed, thinking that she had also experienced this kind of pain, but she didn't even see the child.
"Madam, it's bad. It seems that the third wife is having difficulty in giving birth!" An anxious voice came.
Su Yue's expression froze. A dystocia means that the baby comes out feet first.
In her previous life, she only knew that her third aunt gave birth alone and the labor took too long, which led to the death of the child. She had never heard of dystocia as the reason.
Su Yue jumped out of the carriage directly, and Gu also got out in a hurry.
Su Yue raised her foot and wanted to rush into the delivery room, but luckily she was caught by her uncle.
"Cousin, does mommy hurt a lot?" When Xiao Lingdang saw Su Yue coming, she walked over and held her hand tightly. Her big eyes were filled with tears of heartache, and she choked up while holding Su Yue's hand.
Su Yue was about to say something.
"Girl Yue, you are here? How can an unmarried girl like you enter this bloody delivery room?" The uncle scolded, but he still showed his concern for Su Yue in his words.
Only then did Su Yue notice that her grandparents were in the yard, and everyone's face was filled with worry. She came to her senses and patted Little Bell's hands to comfort her.
"It was Yue'er who was reckless. The situation is urgent now, so please forgive me for being rude. I will wait until my third aunt gives birth safely, then I will pay my respects to my grandparents and offer them tea.
When Yue'er heard that her third aunt was about to give birth, she specially brought the best midwife in the city, Xiaohe, to send her in. "Su Yue quickly told Xiao He to bring people over. Fortunately, she had made some preparations last night.
Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu were also extremely anxious at this time. The old lady stared at the door, hoping for a turn for the better.
Gu walked directly to the old lady and held her hand tightly. The mother and daughter looked at each other, and everything was said without words. Then they both stared at the door at the same time.
Inside the door, the heart-wrenching sound kept beating on the eardrums of everyone present.
"Hey, how come someone from this city can cure difficult labor?" At this time, a woman who looked to be about 40 years old said in a sarcastic tone.
Su Yue looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the woman was dressed just like an ordinary farmer. Her eyes looked extremely shrewd, and her hands and body were covered in blood.
She was the midwife who delivered Luo's baby. Her skills were well-known in the countryside. Now a young lady came and said she brought the best midwife and even sent her into the room. Isn't this a slap in her face?
"Who are you? Do you have the right to speak here?" Su Yue was anxious and didn't want to waste words with the old woman.
"Yue girl, this is the midwife I hired, Granny Fang. She is the best midwife around here." At this time, the eldest aunt Chen hurriedly explained.
When Grandma Fang heard Chen speak, she also became arrogant in her heart, and her whole face said, "You don't believe me, and you brought another old woman here, so I'm unhappy."
Su Yue couldn't help but find it funny. A country midwife, upon hearing that the best midwife in the city had arrived, didn't know how to go in to help out, learn some skills, and make up for her own shortcomings. Instead, she ignored the heart-wrenching cries of the woman in labor and was acting weird with the hostess.
"Okay, you're the best midwife around, right? Let me ask you, you said that your third aunt had a difficult labor, are you sure you saw the baby's feet come out first?" Su Yue's eyes were grim, and under her gaze, Grandma Fang actually felt guilty.
She did not see the baby's feet come out completely, she just saw some skin that looked like feet. In addition, the mother had not given birth for such a long time, and based on her previous delivery experience, it was most likely a backward birth.
"I..." Granny Fang stammered for a long time, not knowing how to start. Seeing Granny Fang's expression, Su Yue felt a little relieved.
"Second Miss, the midwife said that the baby's head is too big, which is why Third Lady is having such a slow delivery. Maybe, maybe we need to cut open a little bit down there."
Xiao He came out of the room, and the smell of blood almost suffocated her.
