Chapter 480: Noticed Something Wrong
Jinshu nodded.
"Don't worry, County Lady. I've already informed you. We have arranged good meals these days. The nurse said that she has enough milk, so there is no problem feeding the two children."
Song Yuntang breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good."
As she finished her words, she gasped as she felt a sudden sharp pain in her abdomen.
Before the Jiang family reached the intersection, they saw Xia Ning driving a horse-drawn carriage towards them.
"Madam, is there something wrong with the county lady?"
Jiang nodded quickly.
"Tang'er has already entered the delivery room and has been waiting for you."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ning hurriedly drove the carriage to the wooden shed, "Song Mazi, help me unload the carriage. I will go to accompany the county lady."
After saying that, he jumped off the carriage and quickly went to the yard with Jiang.
When Xia Ning entered the delivery room, Song Yuntang's face turned pale with pain, but he held back and didn't cry out.
She took a quick step forward, squatted down beside Song Yuntang's pillow, held her hand and said, "County Lady, I'm late."
The moment he saw her, Song Yuntang's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.
"Xianing, it hurts!"
"I know." Xia Ning kept stroking her back. "It is said that giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. How can it not be painful? The county lady is a brave mother. I will always be by her side and I believe she will make it through."
Song Yuntang nodded and held her hand tightly, trying to offset the pain in his abdomen.
When the afternoon was about to pass, Xu Chengji had already brought Xu Yongwang and the old couple of the Hu family, and Guiping also brought Doctor Zhou to the farm.
The group of people had worried and happy expressions on their faces as they waited anxiously outside.
From time to time, Xu Yongwang would raise his head and look towards the delivery room.
"Why not yet?"
Jiang glared at him and said, "Do you think giving birth is as easy as going to the toilet? When I gave birth to Qingye, it took from early morning to almost noon. Tang'er didn't start to have abdominal pain until after noon, so I'm afraid we'll have to wait for another hour or so."
In the room, Song Yuntang's contractions became more and more frequent. Jinshu stood beside her with a bowl of noodles, and whenever she felt a little relieved, he would let her take a few quick bites to accumulate her strength.
Zhu lifted the quilt and checked.
"County Lady, I can almost touch the child's head!"
After hearing this, Zheng, who was standing next to him, stood up in a hurry and said, "I'll go get a basin of water first."
Xu Qingye naturally heard the noise inside.
Seeing Zheng hurried to the backyard with her head down, fetching water and coming back hurriedly, the man felt that a busy person in an emergency situation should not have such an expression, and he immediately felt that something was wrong.
"Stop!"
Zheng stopped in front of the delivery room door, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
Originally Xu Qingye just wanted to test it out cautiously, but seeing her like this, he felt something was wrong.
Jiang, who was sitting at the stone table, stood up, a puzzled look on her face.
"Qingye, why are you stopping the midwife? Didn't you hear her say that she was almost seeing the end? Don't delay Tang'er's delivery."
Zheng also stood with a basin in hand at the closed door of the delivery room, looking embarrassed.
"Yes, my dear, why are you stopping me? If I delay the county lady's delivery, I can't bear the responsibility."
Xu Qingye remained unmoved. His wife was currently experiencing a life-and-death situation in the house. He could not afford the risk of letting someone with bad intentions in.
The man's gaze followed Zheng's expression to the basin in her hand.
The next moment, he hurriedly gave orders.
"Doctor Zhou, please take a look at this basin of water and see what's different about it."
After hearing this, a look of panic flashed across Zheng's face.
Why did you invite a doctor for no reason?
Doctor Zhou did not dare to be careless and stood up and went to the door of the delivery room.
He glanced in Zheng's direction and saw a look of panic on the woman's face. He snatched the basin from her hand and put it close to his nose to smell it.
Although the medicinal smell is light, the flavors of some of the herbs are not difficult to identify.
"Drugs such as safflower, winter melon seeds, aconite, and musk should be added here. If the county lady uses this water, she will be lucky if she doesn't bleed too much." Doctor Zhou looked at Zheng with an agitated expression and said through gritted teeth, "You are trying to kill someone!"
In the courtyard, Xu Yongwang, Jiang, Hu and Xu Yuande all stood up in shock.
This evil woman actually wanted to kill Tang'er!
If Qingye hadn't stopped her, Tang'er would have probably used the basin of water mixed with medicine.
When Zheng saw that the truth was revealed, she quickly knelt down in front of Xu Qingye.
"I don't intend to kill anyone, please understand!"
Xu Qingye's face looked somewhat grim.
"Guiping, tie him up first, and then interrogate him after Tang'er has given birth successfully!"
"yes."
Xu Yongwang also stepped forward and helped Guiping tie up Zheng. He also stuffed a piece of rag into her mouth and threw her in the yard.
Seeing that the water she had just drawn was not usable, Jiang went to the backyard to draw some water herself. She confirmed with Doctor Zhou that there was no problem before letting Jinshu bring it in.
The people in the house naturally noticed the noise outside the house just now.
While Jinshu was bringing the water, Zhu picked up the scissors used to cut the baby's umbilical cord and put them against Jinshu's neck, then turned to look at Xia Ning.
"Get out!"
Jinshu hurriedly shook her head, "No! Sister Xia Ning, you can't go out. You have to protect the county lady. I am just a worthless person, and death is not a pity."
Zhu pushed the scissors closer to her neck, and blood immediately flowed out from her fair neck.
“Shut up!”
Jinshu was terrified and said with her eyes closed, "Kill me! If you kill me, you can't escape. Sister Xia Ning will definitely avenge me!"
Song Yuntang, who was sweating profusely, endured the pain in his body and looked at Zhu coldly.
"Why do you do this? I clearly did some research when I called you to the farm. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me. Don't hurt Jinshu!"
Zhu shook his head in despair.
"County Lady, we have no choice. If you don't die today, Zheng's family and I will all die."
Xia Ning quietly reached for the dagger at his waist.
"Someone is threatening your family? Who is it?"
Zhu refused to speak and cried, "Don't ask me anymore, I won't tell you!"
When the people outside the house heard the noise, they were all frightened and panicked, fearing that something might have happened to Song Yuntang.
Xu Qingye couldn't bear it any longer, so he went straight into the house and came to Song Yuntang's side.
"Tang'er, are you okay?"
Song Yuntang's face was pale, and he shook his head and said, "You still saw how miserable I am now."
Xu Qingye stroked her cheek with a gentle voice.
"In my heart, Tang'er is the prettiest no matter what."
Because of the labor pains, the smile on Song Yuntang's face was uglier than crying.
"This is the first time I've heard you say this."
After she finished speaking, she couldn't help but groan. Obviously, the pain in her body was beyond her endurance.
Xia Ning, who was standing by, had been watching Zhu's movements. When he saw her staring at Xu Qingye and Song Yuntang while she was distracted, the dagger in his hand was instantly thrown out, leaving a deep cut on Zhu's arm and then piercing into the window frame behind her.
