Chapter 39 Sister-in-law is about to give birth
Wang walked out of the Xiao family with a pale face.
Father Liu had no choice but to go to Wei Lingze: "Miss Chunxi has the support of Old Madam Xiao and Lord Shen. We can't do anything to her. My son's life or death is still unknown. Please find a way to save my son!"
Father Liu knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
He has been busy with business these years and has only one son, Liu Fengyuan. He thought that helping the eldest son of the Wei family would help the family business to a higher level, but he ended up sacrificing his son, which was really not worth it.
The deadline given by His Majesty to solve the case is approaching, and something has happened at the family's ancestral tomb again. Although Wei Lingze was very angry when he heard the news, he was too busy to spare the energy to get Chunxi out of the Xiao family.
He only said to Liu's father with a sullen face: "She is just a weak woman and dare not kill anyone. As long as she marries into the Liu family, she will naturally know the whereabouts of your son."
"But she's hiding in the Xiao family and won't come out. I can't go to the Xiao family to snatch her away."
"Isn't her sister-in-law about to give birth? Don't you want to do something about it?"
Wei Lingze raised his tone, and his handsome face was filled with sinisterness, causing Father Liu's eyelids to twitch.
Childbirth for women is already dangerous. If someone tampered with it secretly, it is very likely that there will be two deaths.
Seeing Father Liu's hesitation, Wei Lingze's voice turned cold: "Why, are you scared?"
Father Liu shuddered and said quickly: "Please rest assured, Master. I will definitely do a good job on this matter."
From the moment they decided to deceive Chunxi into marriage and abduct her, there was no turning back.
Father Liu stood up and left. Just as he reached the door, he heard Wei Lingze say, "Don't come to me again. I don't want to hear nonsense. I just want results."
That afternoon, Liu's father brought a group of people to the Cao family to demand an explanation.
Wang asked them to go to Xiao's house to find Chunxi themselves, but Liu's father pretended not to hear. The two sides argued for a few sentences, and then the people brought by Liu's father started smashing things.
Wang screamed in fear, and Cao Wu dragged his injured leg to fight with these people. Qian was terrified and got so nervous and scared that her water broke prematurely.
"Oh no, it's bleeding!"
Aunt Li, who was lying against the wall and secretly watching the fun, shouted.
Father Liu ordered them to stop and looked at Wang coldly: "I'll give you three days to have your daughter come to the Liu family and apologize. Otherwise, next time it won't be as simple as smashing things!"
Liu's father took his men away. Cao Wu rushed to Qian's side and saw that Qian's skirt was stained with blood. It was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her, and the blood in her body had frozen.
"My lady, are you okay? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have fought with anyone."
Qian had severe abdominal pain and her face was pale. She tightly grasped Cao Wu's arm and said, "Brother Wu, my stomach hurts so much. I'm so scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Cao Wu kept repeating this sentence, but he didn't know what to do. Wang slapped him on the head and said, "What are you standing there for? Your wife is about to give birth. Go get a midwife!"
Yes, yes, yes, please ask the midwife to come!
Cao Wu limped to ask for a midwife. Wang helped Qian back to the house and comforted her. She then lit a fire, boiled some water and made some brown sugar water.
Not long after, the midwife arrived, and Aunt Li and several aunts who lived nearby also came to help.
Hearing Qian's cries of pain in the house, Wang's temples throbbed. Thinking of Liu's father's words, Wang gritted her teeth and went to the Xiao family again.
Wang didn't go in, but asked the doorman to pass on the message. After a while, Chunxi came out.
"It's not even full term yet, how could sister-in-law be in labor now?"
Chunxi looked very unhappy and suspected that Wang had done something.
Wang was furious at the suspicion in Chunxi's eyes. She grabbed Chunxi's arm and scolded her in a low voice, "How dare you ask? If you hadn't been so rebellious, why would the Liu family come to our house to cause trouble, and how would your sister-in-law be in trouble? If anything happens to her and the unborn child, you will be the sinner of the Cao family!"
"It was mother who took the money, so how could I be the culprit? And mother knew that the Liu family would not let it go, so why didn't she let my sister-in-law go back to her parents' home to hide?"
Chunxi's eyes were clear, as if he could see through everything.
Wang looked away guiltily.
She does have selfish motives.
After Cao Wu knew that she had knocked Chunxi unconscious and sent her to Master Liu, he had a big quarrel with her and had not spoken a word to her for days. If anything happened to Qian and the baby in her womb, she could blame everything on Chunxi, and Cao Wu and Qian would also resent Chunxi for this.
This way, the mother and son will not be separated.
In order to get home quickly, Chunxi rented a carriage, went to Huichuntang to consult a doctor, and bought an old ginseng.
Huichuntang is the largest medical clinic in Hanjing. Doctor visits are very expensive, and a single old ginseng root costs more than ten taels of silver. Wang felt distressed and couldn't help but say, "We already have a midwife. Your sister-in-law is in good health, so she should be fine."
After Qian gives birth to the baby, I wonder how many supplements she can buy with this money.
Chunxi was afraid that Wang would be reluctant to spend money and harm her sister-in-law.
She didn't respond and asked the driver to speed up and go home.
When we got home, Qian hadn't given birth yet and her cries had faded.
Chunxi was about to go in with the old ginseng, but Wang Shi stopped her and said, "You haven't married yet, what are you doing in the delivery room?"
"Mom didn't let me in to see my sister-in-law, so why did she call me back in such a hurry?"
Chunxi's eyes were very cold, and there was even a bit of the pressure from a superior. Wang's heart trembled and she let go of her hand.
The room smelled strongly of blood. Chunxi gave Qian a piece of ginseng to hold in her mouth and comforted her, "This is a century-old ginseng. Holding it in your mouth will give you strength. I've also invited a doctor from Huichun Hall to come. Don't be afraid, you and the child will be safe."
The doctors at Huichuntang are famous for their superb medical skills, and the century-old ginseng is extremely valuable.
Chunxi's calmness infected Qian, who calmed down and followed the midwife's instructions. After another two hours, the baby's cry finally rang out in the dark night.
"It's born, it's a big fat boy!"
Aunt Li came out to announce the good news. Cao Wu burst into tears and grabbed Aunt Li and asked, "Aunt, where is my wife? How is she?"
"She's fine, both mother and child are safe. She just fell asleep from exhaustion. Why is your child crying even harder?"
Cao Wu couldn't stop crying, and Wang took the child from the midwife and smiled from ear to ear.
She has grandchildren.
Although the child was born prematurely, he weighed more than six pounds and cried loudly, and he looked easy to raise.
The yard was in a mess after being smashed and smashed, but everyone was happy about the arrival of new life.
Chunxi thanked the aunts who had come to help and gave one or two taels of silver to Aunt Li.
"We've been neighbors for so many years, helping each other is our duty. Why should we thank you so much?"
Aunt Li said she didn't need it, but she honestly put the silver into her arms.
Chunxi inquired about the details of the Liu family's disturbance. A cold look flashed in her eyes. She said to Aunt Li in a gentle voice, "Aunt, please ask Brother Dashan to inform my sister-in-law's family that my sister-in-law was beaten by my eldest brother, and my mother stopped my eldest brother from calling a doctor for my sister-in-law."
Aunt Li was shocked. "Your sister-in-law's family is not easy to mess with. Does that mean they will call a large group of people to come and tear your house down?"
Chunxi curled her lips and smiled sweetly: "It would be better if they send someone over."
