Chapter 009 Something Happened
Humph, when the time comes I will definitely be obedient and kneel down at the feet of the lady, calling her mistress.
That's when you really get through it.
"yes."
Jin Chuan left with satisfaction, and did nothing but wait at the gate, waiting to hear news from outside.
On An Xiaoniang's side, Lin Wanhui stood in the corridor and stretched her head. She waited and waited, but Su Jin didn't show up. She frowned and asked, "What's going on, Madam Li? Did you find someone to tell Su Jin?"
"Little girl, I've found her." After saying that, she turned around and looked around, and found the girl who had just delivered the message. She called her over and said, "You, come here and talk to me."
The little maid was young and timid. She knew that the Madam liked to scold people and that Lin Wanhui was narrow-minded and calculating, so she trembled and said, "I told Sister Jinchuan in the Madam's yard."
"My dear, Jinchuan dare not hide it. The mistress must know it." Mother Li whispered to comfort her.
"Why didn't you come if you knew?" Lin Wanhui said angrily, "On weekdays, she runs away faster than anyone else when there's a little trouble. Everyone knows what she's thinking. She's just thinking about the housekeeper. Now that we've given her a chance, she doesn't come?"
Lin Wanhui sneered coldly. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Su Jin would definitely come. She turned her head and looked at the timid girl. She was immediately furious and slapped the girl hard, cursing, "You must be incompetent. Get out of here!"
The little girl got slapped in vain, feeling hurt and wronged, and ran out, covering her face. Lin Wanhui felt even more uncomfortable, and angrily asked, "What's wrong with this Su Jin? He was so weird when he greeted me in the morning, and now he seems to have suddenly become smart and doesn't even want to come?"
"I'm afraid that girl Jinchuan said something. She is the only one who understands in the entire Liuting Pavilion."
Mother Li replied in a low voice, "In Liuting Pavilion, Su Jin is the biggest fool, Yuchuan is the second biggest fool, and the rest of the maids are also those who have no opinions of their own. This Jinchuan is very alert and not easy to deal with."
"Humph, they are all a bunch of trash!"
Lin Wanhui frowned. Seeing this, Mother Li could only change the subject and said, "Young lady, shall we go out and find a midwife now?"
"What's the hurry?" Lin Wanhui took a deep breath and glanced at the other side of the house. Listening to the intermittent wailing inside, she sneered, "Didn't Mrs. Zhou say that the baby won't be born for a while? Don't worry, when the baby is about to be born, we can look for it later."
Just as she finished speaking, the door opened and An Xiaoniang's only maid, Xiao Cui, rushed out with red eyes, as if she had just cried. When she saw Lin Wanhui, she ran over, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Miss, my little mother is almost out of strength. Please find a midwife quickly. We don't know anything about giving birth. We need someone who knows how to do it!"
"Okay, okay!" Lin Wanhui said with a smile, but she was not in a hurry at all. She turned her head and ordered: "Mother Li, please ask someone to look for it, quickly, don't waste time."
"yes!"
Mother Li knew very well what Lin Wanhui was thinking. She turned around and gave an order to the person outside. The person turned around and left, but did not leave the house. Instead, he found a secluded place and fell asleep.
Anyway, childbirth is dangerous for women, and no one can say whether someone will die.
Seeing that Mother Li had gone, Xiao Cui stood up sobbing, turned around and rushed back to her room, whispering, "Little girl, hold on, the midwife will be here soon."
An Xiaoniang was in so much pain that her hair was soaked with cold sweat. She nodded reluctantly. When she felt the pain eased a little, she wanted to speak, but the pain came again. She bit her lower lip in pain, leaving a tooth mark.
Fortunately, the midwife is coming soon. An Xiaoniang thought that if she persisted, she would be able to wait for the chance.
But I waited for most of the night, and in the blink of an eye it was already the second half of the night, but I still didn't see a single person.
An Xiaoniang's contractions became more and more frequent. She could even feel the baby moving out. She screamed in pain and grabbed Xiaocui's hand: "Hurry, hurry, it's time to give birth, it's time to give birth!!"
Xiao Cui was also anxious. The midwife hadn't arrived yet, so hadn't she already gone out to look for one?
Seeing that An Xiaoniang was in great pain, she rushed out again.
"Young lady, midwife, why hasn't the midwife come yet?"
Lin Wanhui smiled and said, "We've sent people to look for them, but no one has come back. Tell me, what's going on? Maybe everyone is having a baby tonight and the midwife is too busy?"
Giving birth tonight? How is that possible?
Xiao Cui was young but not stupid. She immediately realized that it was Lin Wanhui who was causing trouble. Heart-wrenching screams were already being heard in the room. Xiao Cui could not wait any longer and turned around and rushed out.
Mrs. Lin is indeed sinister and vicious. Since she refuses to invite him, she will go out and look for him herself!
"When An Xiaoniang is giving birth, no one is allowed to enter or leave, so as not to disturb the pregnant woman during childbirth."
A cold voice sounded from behind, followed by the sound of the door being locked. Xiao Cui was held down by several old women, watching in despair as the door was locked.
"Midwife, if midwife doesn't come, I will, she will... ah!!!"
Xiao Cui screamed, but Lin Wanhui ignored her and had someone throw Xiao Cui back into the house.
"Just wait, the midwife will come!"
Lin Wanhui spoke lightly, thinking to herself, I just don’t know when I will get here!
"Woo woo woo, open the door, open the door!"
Xiao Cui cried out in despair, but the door was tightly closed. The old woman left in the room had never been married and naturally didn't know how to deliver a baby, so she could only pull Xiao Cui back to An Xiaoniang's bedside.
An Xiaoniang's face was pale and her body was covered in blood. She grabbed Xiaocui's hand and said in a trembling voice: "Go, go find the lady..."
"The Madam and Miss Lin are the same, neither of them is a good person!" Xiao Cui cried. Her master was once called a vixen by the Madam, and when she just got pregnant, she was questioned by the Madam in a sarcastic tone. Xiao Cui remembers it all.
"No, it's different..."
An Xiaoniang recalled how Su Jin looked when she came to pay her respects in the morning, and struggled, "I can't hold on any longer. There's a dog hole in the backyard. I need to climb out..."
After saying that, An Xiaoniang fainted from the pain. Xiao Cui was immediately panicked when she saw this. Then she thought about An Xiaoniang's instructions and could only get up and open the back window.
At this time, there is no other way, just give it a try!
Xiao Cui became furious, climbed out of the dog hole, gritted her teeth and rushed towards Liuting Pavilion.
In the second half of the night, the mansion was dead silent. The students who had been studying all night had all fallen asleep. It was quiet all around. Xiao Cui ran all the way. When she touched the door of Liuting Pavilion, she knocked on it with all her might: "Open the door, open the door, open the door! Help! Open the door!"
Jin Chuan, who had been guarding the door, quickly opened it and saw Xiao Cui, who was dirty and disheveled. She was the maid from An Xiaoniang's place.
At this moment, the little maid was panting, her face was panicked, her eyes were red, and there were tears on her face. Jin Chuan's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
