A few months had passed in the blink of an eye, and today, everyone in the Sheng family's second house, from the master to the servants, was anxiously awaiting their birth. Hai had gone into labor two days early and had just been taken to the delivery room.
The wind was good today and Sheng Shu was not on duty. He was talking to Hai when Hai suddenly felt hot.
Seeing this, Mother Wu, who had been brought in by Hai, immediately calmed the situation. She first went over to support Hai, reassuring her not to be afraid, saying it was still early for her to die. She then instructed the servants to prepare as previously instructed, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere in the room.
Turning around, he saw Sheng Shu still standing there in a daze. He smiled and said, "Sir, it's still early for the young lady to die. Why don't you go to the main courtyard and report the news?"
After hearing this, Sheng Shu finally came to his senses. Normally, he walked with the dignified demeanor of a gentleman, but now his hands and feet seemed to be in a mess, and he walked out the door with his hands and feet twitching. When he reached the door, he took two steps back and turned back to Hai, saying, "Don't be afraid, my husband is here."
Hai no longer felt anything. She nodded and said to Sheng Shu, "Don't worry, my husband."
After they looked at each other for a moment, Sheng Shu walked out.
While Hai was sitting in the delivery room eating chicken noodle soup, Xu Wen rushed over. After looking Hai up and down, she asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Hai wiped her mouth and said, "No, mother, please sit down."
Sheng Huairen also arrived and sat outside the delivery room with Sheng Shu, waiting. After waiting for half an hour, Xu Wen came out of the delivery room. Soon after, Hai's cry of pain was heard, and Sheng Shu immediately stood up from his chair.
As the sun set, Bai Shi, who was no longer able to resist Gu Tingye's pestering, came to Sheng Mansion. When she arrived at Sheng Mansion, she found out that Bai Shi had gone into labor prematurely. As she walked to the delivery room with Gu Tingye and stopped, she heard the cry of a newborn baby coming from inside.
The midwife quickly brought out the wrapped baby, beaming with joy as she said, "Congratulations, Master, Madam, and Young Master! It's a daughter."
Sheng Shu was the first to step forward and ask, "How is my wife?"
The midwife smiled and replied, "Madam, you are a little exhausted, but otherwise you are fine. You will be back to normal after a short rest."
Xu Wen took the swaddle, and the child, who had just been crying, suddenly stopped crying. The moment she saw the child in the swaddle, Xu Wen felt very close to the child, as if they had known each other in a previous life.
Sheng Huairen came over to take a look and said, "He does look a bit like you."
Sheng Shu came over to see the child at this time. Looking at the little girl who looked very similar to him, Sheng Shu blurted out: "Ming, which means to shine."
Sheng Huairen stroked his beard and nodded, saying, "The sun and the moon shine together. Good! The eldest daughter of this generation of our Sheng family will be named Sheng Minglan."
Xu Wen, holding the swaddling baby in her arms, also thought the name was a good one and said softly to the baby girl, "Minglan girl, I am your grandmother."
Bai was too embarrassed to step forward, but Gu Tingye ran over and raised his head and said, "Madam Sheng, let me see my little sister."
Xu Wen only then remembered Bai and Gu Tingye, and apologized repeatedly, "It's all my fault."
She bent down slightly and showed the swaddling clothes to Gu Tingye. Gu Tingye, who was standing on tiptoe, took a look and frowned slightly and said, "How can my sister be so ugly?"
The adults were all amused. A newborn baby naturally wouldn't be completely white. At this moment, it was still wrinkled and slightly red. After handing the baby over to the midwife, Xu Wen took Gu Tingye's hand and said, "Your sister will look beautiful after the third bath."
Gu Tingye frowned slightly and said to Bai: "Mom, let's go back and come back for the third day bath."
Bai poked Gu Tingye with her finger and said, "You came here clamoring for it, and now you want to go back."
Gu Tingye turned around to look at the direction the midwife left and said, "Wait until Sister Minglan looks better before coming back."
