The midwife shrank back, raised her head, met Mother Chang's gaze, and stammered, "Xu, Xu is going to have a difficult birth."
After hearing this, Mother Chang staggered for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. Given the girl's current situation, she might not panic. If she did, the girl would be in danger.
After pinching her palms, Mother Chang walked over and whispered to the two midwives, "Do we need to use a decoction to induce labor?"
The midwife who had just replied nodded and said, "Yes, we need to use the medicine as soon as possible."
Mother Chang told Lancao, who was waiting by the side, "Please ask the court doctor to come in."
As she said this, Chang Mama stared at the midwife, and seeing that she was fine, she turned to look at Bai Shi. Bai Shi also opened her eyes and waited for the court doctor to come in and take her pulse.
The court physician came in and bowed, then placed the pulse pillow, covered her with a silk handkerchief, and began to examine Bai's pulse. After about a cup of tea, the physician frowned slightly and said, "This, this is impossible."
The court doctor then replied, "Madam, you are pregnant with twins. I don't know why I failed to diagnose you some time ago. Please punish me, Madam."
Mrs. Bai looked at Madam Chang, who quickly asked the doctor, "Twins? Do we need to use labor-inducing drugs now?"
The court doctor shook his head and said, "It's not time yet. Sometimes it takes three days and three nights for a woman to give birth."
As soon as the words fell, the midwife was about to rush to Bai's side, but was kicked away by Chang Mama. Then Chang Mama shouted, "Captain of the Guards, come in!"
The captain of the guards came in quickly and dragged the person out. As the midwife was dragged away, she screamed, "Go to hell!"
Bai didn't care at all and looked at her coldly.
The only remaining midwife bowed her head to the ground. Mother Chang went over and pulled the midwife aside, saying, "The Ningyuan Marquisate originated in the military and has always been very strict in their management of the household. Those three women plotted to murder a second-rank imperial consort and were sentenced to death. Of course, they may have felt that sacrificing her meant her family could live a better life. However, they didn't know that even if the Marquisate let them go, the Jiangnan Bai family wouldn't let them go either. They would chase them to the ends of the earth and punish that family."
The midwife trembled and whispered softly, "I, I, would never dare to do that."
Mama Chang looked the midwife up and down, and was about to speak again when she heard Bai's cry of pain. The court doctor had already left and was waiting outside the door.
Mother Chang ran over to wipe the sweat off Bai's face. Listening to Bai's cries of pain, she knew that the girl must be in great pain, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
A quarter of an hour later, the midwife said loudly: "It's out, it's out, madam, please try harder."
Xiangyun watched from the side to prevent anyone with bad intentions from stuffing the child back in.
Bai took a deep breath, clutched the quilt tightly with both hands, and tensed her whole body. Huh... Her eyes blurred, and something slipped out from under Bai.
The midwife smiled happily and said, "It's born, it's born, it's a son."
Bai was awakened by the voice. Son, that was Ye Ge'er.
The midwife methodically cut the umbilical cord, first patting Ye Ge'er's bottom. Ye Ge'er cried loudly. Mother Chang said happily, "Miss, the child is very healthy."
The midwife wiped Ye'er's body again and then wrapped him in swaddling clothes. When Chang Mama took Ye'er, she could tell at a glance that he looked like Bai, and she couldn't help but smile.
Holding Ye Ge'er, she walked towards Bai Shi. When she got closer, she bent down and showed Ye Ge'er to Bai Shi. Bai Shi looked at the child in front of her. Yes! This was her Ye Ge'er, the child from her previous life. They looked exactly the same.
