Chapter 11 A sudden change

Because of Sheng Hong's indifference, Lin Qinshuang was busy trying to win back Sheng Hong's heart and had no time to bother Mingxi. Mingxi had a happy life for a while.

Winter came in a blink of an eye, and the north wind was blowing. Minglan had already put on a cotton jacket and picked up a hot water bottle. Mingxi also wrapped herself in a white-edged mink cloak to keep out the wind and cold. Overnight

, the branches of the trees turned white, the roofs turned white, and everything was white. The heavy snow was still falling from the sky. Mingxi looked at this world covered in silver, and her heart calmed down.

Suddenly, a series of "wows" broke the silence. It turned out that Minglan and Xiaotao ran out. Minglan ignored the falling snow and pulled Xiaotao to the courtyard to play. Mingxi was afraid that they would get wet in the snow and sweat and catch a cold when the north wind blew, so he asked Zhulou and Lulu to follow with umbrellas. Fortunately, the two children were tired after chasing for a while, so they stopped and happily made a snowman.

Mingxi also became interested. Zhuli helped him walk to Minglan and asked Minglan: "Ming'er, what do you want to make?"

Minglan was so busy that she didn't even raise her head. "I want to make a turtle and a rabbit, and put the turtle in front of the rabbit so that the rabbit can never catch up with the turtle!" After saying that, she laughed excitedly.

Mingxi also found it funny and asked Xiaotao, "Xiaotao, what do you want to build?" Xiaotao said in a baby voice that she wanted to build a peach. Mingxi's hands itched again as he looked at Xiaotao's increasingly round face. He wanted to pinch Minglan and Xiaotao. "Mom, Xiaotao wants to build herself!" The cheerful laughter rang out again, and the lively atmosphere seemed to dispel the severe winter cold.

Mingxi watched them laugh for a while and then went back to the house. She was very careful now. Her belly was already eight months big, and it would be ripe soon. But Sheng Hong's promotion order came a few days ago. The eldest lady was worried that it would snow in the cold weather, so she went to the eldest lady's house in Runzhou to resign a few days before the snow fell. Before she left, she was still worried about Mingxi's dream, so she invited the midwife into the house in advance and left two errand boys in the front yard for Mingxi. Mingxi saw that Sheng Hong took it to heart and prepared well, so she put her heart back in her belly. But psychologically, she was still a little uneasy because it was her first time to give birth, so she was extra careful about everything now.

Who knew that something went wrong in the afternoon. The servants came to report that the fourth lady and the sixth lady had a fight!

Mingxi was confused. Shouldn't Minglan be in the house? It was snowing in the yard when she woke up in the morning. Minglan and Xiaotao played for a long time. Mingxi was afraid that she would catch a cold, so she kept her in the room to practice calligraphy. After practicing for a whole morning, she took Xiaotao back to her room after lunch and said she wanted to take a nap. She was still on the couch when she asked Lulu to check if she had covered herself with the quilt. How could she fight with Molan at this time?

Mingxi knew that Minglan was smart, but Shenghong had been doting on her during this period and deliberately ignored Lin Qinshuang. Now that Shenghong was not around, she was afraid that Molan was a tiger and would come over to lock Minglan up and beat her.

Mingxi told herself to stay calm, but her pace quickened involuntarily. When she was about to reach the gate, something unexpected happened. Mingxi slipped and fell forward.

The parrot beside her also stumbled and lost its grip. Mingxi tried to turn sideways to protect her stomach when she fell. Zhuli didn't have time to think and lay down to catch Mingxi. She only heard several "little mother" when she fell, and then she was swallowed by endless pain and couldn't hear anything else. Minglan heard the screams

of the crowd outside the yard. She tried to break free from Molan's entanglement and ran into the yard. She saw her mother lying on the ground with a pool of blood under her body. Zhuli was lying on the ground beside her mother, wailing.

Minglan's head buzzed, and when she came to her senses, she immediately rushed over to call her mother, but Mingxi was in too much pain to hear anything. It was the parrot who came to her senses and rushed out to call the midwife. The midwife lived in the outer courtyard. The parrot ran while shouting desperately. The servant in the outer courtyard heard the shouting and asked who was right, but the parrot just kept saying, "Please call in the midwife! Please call in the midwife!"

The servant realized that something had happened. He was the one Sheng Hong had left behind to run errands for Mingxi. He did not dare to delay and went straight to the room where the midwife was. Unexpectedly, he fell several times in a short distance. It seemed that there was thick ice on the ground, but it had just snowed, so how could the ice be so thick? He didn't have time to think about it. He climbed up and called for Granny. Granny heard the call and knew something might happen, so she took her family out of the room.

When she reached the door and was about to take a step, she was stopped by the servant and asked to hold on to the wall and walk slowly along the wall. There was ice at the door and he was afraid she would fall. Granny walked out carefully along the wall and walked to the road when she was far away from the door. The servant didn't care about the pain and pulled Granny to run towards Mingxi's yard. The parrot saw them and ran back.

When they were about to run to the yard, the parrot reminded them loudly, "The road at the door is slippery, you guys should be careful." The two of them moved over carefully again. When they entered the yard and saw the current situation, Granny knew that she was in trouble. It would be terrible if her belly, which was more than eight months old, fell. It was probably a matter of life and death!

The old woman was invited by Sheng Hong, so she was a resourceful woman. She was calm and asked the maid to carry the baby back to the house to prepare for the delivery. She also asked people to heat water and use several pots. She needed a lot of hot water. She also asked the charcoal fire in the house to be fully lit. The woman had been lying in the snow for so long, she needed to be warmed up.

Mingxi was carried back to the house by the maids. It took a long time for her to regain consciousness. She was in so much pain. She knew that her situation was not good. She shouted with all her strength, "Go get the doctor, hurry up!" Minglan saw that her mother was struggling to speak and knew that she was in so much pain. She forced herself to be calm, ran out to ask the servant to get the doctor, and asked the maid to carry Zhuli back to her room.

At this time, Lin Qinshuang came over. She saw the busy courtyard and raised a barely perceptible sneer. When she walked in, she heard several maids say that it was not good to fall so hard, and her smile gradually deepened. When she

got closer, she saw Minglan giving orders outside the door, and hurried over to hug Minglan, "Why is the sixth girl still here? Someone come and take the sixth girl to the fourth girl. This is the delivery room, and the little girl can't stay here!"

Minglan struggled to get rid of her clutches and ran back to the house. She wanted to accompany her mother. Mingxi heard Lin Qinshuang's voice in the house, and regret and hatred filled her chest. She realized that she had fallen into the trap of that bitch Lin Qinshuang! Thinking of the flag she set when she traveled through time, Mingxi felt that she could still hold on. She must live. Not only did she want to live, she also wanted the baby in her belly to live!

Mingxi tried hard to listen to the old woman and breathe in accordance with her rhythm. The old woman said that the baby was squeezed and must be born quickly, otherwise it might die in the womb. Fortunately, Mingxi has been exercising since she traveled through time and did not eat too much. The baby is not big, and Mingxi's body can still support it. As long as she cooperates with the old woman, there is still a great hope of giving birth.

Lin Qinshuang, who was outside the house, heard the conversation inside and couldn't believe it. After falling so hard, there is still hope of giving birth? No! She must not be allowed to give birth!

Lin Qinshuang walked straight into the delivery room and deliberately spoke loudly to disturb the mother-in-law. Minglan seemed to be even more painful when she heard her mother's cry. She turned around and glared at Lin Qinshuang angrily, pushing her with all her strength. Lin Qinshuang was not prepared for Minglan's sudden attack and fell to the ground, with a dull pain in her tailbone.

Zhou Xuenniang went up quickly and helped Lin Qinshuang up. After Lin Qinshuang got up, she slapped Minglan hard and said, "Sixth Miss is too ignorant. How could you push me? I am your stepmother. This slap is to teach Sixth Miss a lesson."

Mingxi heard the crisp applause and Lin Qinshuang's words inside. She was worried about Minglan and could not concentrate on the birth. The grandmother exclaimed "Oh", reminding her not to worry about the outside world and to focus on giving birth to the baby. However, she understood in her heart that this was a struggle in the mansion. She sighed in her heart, but her hands remained steady.

Mingxi readjusted her breathing, and gave birth to the child with the voice of "The doctor is here!"

"It's born! It's born! It's a little boy!" The surprised voice of the old lady came from inside.

Minglan burst into tears with excitement, and rushed in to see her brother, but was stopped by the old lady, who said that she was cold and didn't want to freeze her little brother.

Lin Qinshuang was furious. She was able to give birth to a child! She is so lucky!

Then she heard the old lady say, "Madam just fell down, I'm afraid she is injured, please ask the doctor to come and take a look!"

Lin Qinshuang suddenly cried out, saying that she was pushed down by Minglan and broke her bones, and asked the doctor to take a look. The people she brought with her fought with the parrot for the doctor. The doctor was stunned and no one listened to him.

Minglan rushed out of the house, grabbed the doctor and walked into the house, "Doctor, please come and see my mother, she fell down while holding her body. My little brother was just born, but I am afraid that my mother was injured somewhere. Please help me take a look!"

When the doctor heard that it was a woman who fell down, the situation was indeed urgent, so he followed Minglan in. When the two walked out of the door, they were stopped by Lin Qinshuang. She said that she had just fallen and asked the doctor to help diagnose and treat her.

The doctor didn't understand the situation, so Minglan went up and bit Lin Qinshuang. Lin Qinshuang withdrew her hand in pain. Minglan took advantage of this opportunity to drag the doctor into the room, "Doctor, this is my mother, please take a look at her!"

The doctor took Mingxi's pulse carefully. She had just given birth, so her qi and blood were a little deficient and needed to be replenished. Her ribs must have been broken, but other than that, there was nothing serious. She needed to stay in bed and rest well. Minglan said to the doctor, "I have a maid in my house. She was under my mother when she fell. Please go and take a look."

The doctor then figured it out. It turned out that someone was under her when she fell, so it was no wonder that she only injured her ribs. The doctor went to see Zhu Li again. Zhu Li's injury was indeed more serious than Mingxi's. Her chest was severely squeezed and her ribs were broken, but her life was not in danger. However, she needed to take good care of herself for a year or so. The doctor prescribed some medicine. Minglan sent the doctor out and ordered the servant to get the medicine.

The doctor did not leave in the end and was invited to Lin Qinshuang's courtyard. Lin Qinshuang fell hard, and the doctor said that she also needed to rest for a while.

Lin Qinshuang tried to inquire about Mingxi's condition, but the doctor was not interested and kept talking about other things. He refused to tell the truth. The doctor had seen clearly that the ladies in the Sheng Mansion were fighting over him since he entered the house. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he simply kept silent. Lin Qinshuang didn't have too much trouble. Things had come to this point. If the bastard was to survive, he could only wait and see!

Minglan still felt a wave of fear and a burning pain on her cheeks after everything was settled. She knew that her father had gone to Runzhou, so she wanted to seek shelter from her grandmother. Her brother had just been born and her mother was weak. She was afraid that Lin Qinshuang would do something bad again and she was afraid that she couldn't protect her mother and brother. But she was told that the old lady went to the mountain to worship the immortal yesterday, and it snowed again today. She was afraid that she was trapped at the foot of the mountain and couldn't come down. Minglan felt extremely helpless. She forced herself to cheer up. She couldn't fall down or cry. She had to hold on until her father came back. She couldn't give up!

The parrot saw that the little girl had to take on such a big task. She thought that the little girl was capable of success. She felt sorry for her having to endure all this at such a young age. Seeing that her face was swollen, she rolled up a ball of snow and applied it to her to relieve the pain. The parrot was also very busy. She had to take care of Mingxi, Minglan, and the parrot. She was worried about Zhulou and Lulu. They were on Lin Xiaoniang's side and were not on the same page with her and Zhuli. She was afraid that they would do something bad, so she didn't even let them take care of Zhuli.

Zhu Lou and Lu Lu were also very nervous at this time. It was Lin Xiaoniang who sent a message to ask them to take Minglan out. Minglan originally planned to take a nap with Xiaotao, but Zhu Lou and Lu Lu came to call her, saying that the fourth lady wanted to see her for something. Minglan didn't want to go out, but they both insisted that the fourth lady never came to the courtyard without anything to do, and she must have something important to ask her. Minglan couldn't stand their constant talking, so she went out to see Molan.

As a result, when she met Molan, she heard Molan talk about trivial things. Minglan didn't want to get involved with her and was about to leave. Who knew that Molan actually started to fight. She brought Yunzai and two other maids. Minglan couldn't get away, so she was restrained by her, which led to what happened later.

They were also afraid that they would be found out for secretly splashing water on the ground. Lin Qinshuang wanted to get rid of Mingxi while Sheng Hong was away. Seeing that the weather had been getting colder in recent days and the water in the kitchen had frozen, she came up with such a trick, asking them to splash water on the ground the night before, and told them not to splash water directly in front of the door, as it would be too obvious and would be discovered. She asked them to splash water in front of the courtyard gate, and then she would be lured out. She would not care about her feet in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, the weather was also good and it snowed at night. The snow fell for most of the day, covering the ice on the ground again, making it even more difficult to be discovered. They thought everything was safe, but now Wei Xiaoniang was in danger. When Wei Xiaoniang was gone, they returned to Lin Qinshuang as heroes, but Wei Xiaoniang survived and their plan fell through. They were caught in a dilemma, and they were in a bad situation!
