After the midwife checked, she said that Zheng Xiu was about to give birth. Zheng Xiu was also helped to sit up by one of the midwives, who held her waist and belly to push. Princess Guihe
came in to see Zheng Xiu and saw that she was in good spirits. When she heard that the midwife could prepare for the birth, she was relieved and said, "Good, it's good that it can be so soon. When I gave birth to Mian, I had to wait from morning to night."
Zheng Xiu no longer had the energy to answer Princess Guihe's words. She just listened to the midwife's call and started to push.
Princess Guihe stood by, frowning as she watched the midwife and the maid busying around.
Xue Zhi stood by the door, and when he saw the basins of blood being brought out, he was already sweating profusely and his back was cold.
Zheng Xiu had lived for two lifetimes, and had never suffered such pain. Later, she no longer had the strength to even cry out in pain, and her consciousness slowly began to sink into chaos...
The midwife next to her saw something was wrong, and immediately pinched her philtrum.
"Second Madam, the baby is about to be born, and I have already seen the baby's head..." Another midwife also shouted.
Zheng Xiu gritted her teeth and barely pulled herself together, following the midwife's shouts and began to exert force... Because the force of the bite was too strong, she could smell blood in her mouth.
After a long while, when Zheng Xiu was almost exhausted by the cramps, the midwife suddenly shouted, "It's coming out, it's coming out!"
Zheng Xiu felt relieved and used all her strength to suckle.
Soon, a loud cry came out -
"It's born!" The midwife congratulated and wrapped the child in cotton cloth. The maid had prepared hot water, and someone immediately washed the blood off the child's body, wiped it, and changed it into a new swaddling cloth.
Zheng Xiu was laid flat again on the delivery bed.
Princess Guihe and Xue Zhi squeezed to the bedside.
Xue Zhi held Zheng Xiu's sweaty hand and asked concernedly, "Are you okay? Does it still hurt?"
Seeing how nervous he was, Zheng Xiu reached out to wipe the sweat off his forehead, smiled slightly, and said softly, "It doesn't hurt much."
Princess Guihe pushed Xue Zhi aside and said, "Okay, Azhi, let the female doctor stop the bleeding for Axiu first."
Xue Zhi nodded and stepped aside.
The midwife was holding the child beside her, and she was also puzzled. She had delivered many babies, but she had never seen any family that favored the midwife and left the child behind. Could it be because the baby was a girl?
That's not right. No one has asked about the gender of the baby yet.
Xue Zhi was pulled aside by Princess Guihe. The doctor came forward to check on Zheng Xiu's condition. He still stared at her. His Ah Xiu had just bled so much, and he didn't know if it could be stopped.
Princess Guihe went to see the child. The midwife held the child and smiled, "It's a beautiful girl, take a look."
Princess Guihe also smiled and said, "Girls are good. This family is full of boys. It would be good to have a daughter." Then she took the child and hugged him.
The child in the swaddle had calmed down, with his eyes closed and his mouth puffed up, and his skin was still red.
Princess Guihe showed the child to Xue Zhi again, "Ah Zhi, look, it's really a beautiful child."
Xue Zhi was only concerned about Zheng Xiu's safety. He glanced at the child quickly, smiled, and turned his head away.
The female doctor cleaned up for a while, gave Zheng Xiu a hemostatic drug, wiped the sweat off her head, and said, "Princess, Second Master, Second Madam's bleeding has stopped."
Xue Zhi breathed a sigh of relief and walked quickly to the bed.
Zheng Xiu was so tired that she almost fell asleep, but she also forced herself to cheer up and said, "Where's the child? Bring it here for me to see."
Xue Zhi took the child from Princess Guihe and held it in front of Zheng Xiu for her to see.
The baby in the cradle was like a pink ball, with a small nose, eyes and mouth. It was so soft in her arms that it seemed to have no bones.
Zheng Xiu couldn't take her eyes off the baby, as if she couldn't look enough at the little person in the cradle. Xue Zhi had just taken a quick look and didn't notice anything, but now he loved the child so much that he stretched out his fingers to gently stroke his daughter's little face.
Old Mrs. Zheng had been busy for a long time and was taken out to rest for a while because she was exhausted. She came in again and saw that although Zheng Xiu looked a little pale, she looked very energetic and had a sincere smile on her face.
When Zheng Xiu saw her, she smiled and said, "Grandma, come and see if my daughter looks like me when I was a child."
Old Lady Zheng came forward and took a look, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Her nose and mouth look exactly like yours, but her face looks more like Ah Zhi."
Zheng Xiu couldn't tell anything, but she felt that her daughter was so delicate and lovely no matter how she looked at her.
After talking excitedly for a while, Zheng Xiu really felt tired.
The child was carried over by Princess Guihe. She had given birth to two boys, so she really had no resistance to this delicate and lovely girl, and she held her and teased her for a long time. Outside, Zheng Ren had also arrived a long time ago, but it was inconvenient for him to enter the delivery room. Princess Guihe held the baby for a while, then reluctantly let Old Lady Zheng take over and carry the child out for Zheng Ren and Zheng Xian to see.
Outside, Minghui and others were busy distributing red eggs and wedding money.
Xue Zhi had been with Zheng Xiu the whole time, and only left the delivery room quietly after watching her sleep soundly.
It was not even noon when he and Princess Guihe rushed out of the palace, but the sun was already setting. Under the setting sun, everyone in the Duke of Qing's mansion was in high spirits, and when they saw him come out, they came forward to congratulate him one after another.
Xue Zhi smiled and nodded from time to time.
After everyone had left, he stopped outside the delivery room.
Everyone was beaming with joy, except for him, who seemed to be frightened to the point of breaking out in cold sweats. He was really scared, seeing his Ah Xiu in such heart-wrenching pain and so helpless, but he could do nothing. He was afraid that something might happen to his Ah Xiu...
Fortunately, his Ah Xiu was fine, the child was fine, and the family was happy. He had been worried for so many days and nights, and finally everything was over safely.
Xue Zhi's servant followed closely behind him, and when he saw him standing there for a long time without moving, he secretly raised his head and glanced at him -
his master had always been calm and motionless in the face of things, but now he didn't know why his eyes were red.
"Second Master, are you...are you okay?"
Xue Zhi closed his eyes, shook his head and smiled softly, "It's okay, the wind was a bit strong and I was blinded."

The author has something to say:
Thank you for your company for so long. I started writing in July, and it has been 4 months now. In these 4 months, more than 100 days and nights, because of you, the author is not so lonely and can continue to write this story...
This story ends here. Of course, there will be a long extra chapter below, and many things will be explained. Some unsolved mysteries will also be solved in the extra chapter (for example, whether Xue Shao is the child of Duke Qing, who is the crazy maid in the manor, etc.)
The extra chapter will be updated today and tomorrow. However, the babies who have been following the article should also know that the author has been feeling unwell recently, so he has not been able to keep updating steadily. Tomorrow the author will go to the hospital for an examination and filming. The next update will depend on the examination results (I am so cute, the examination results should be fine~). So it will definitely be finished this month! Love you~
