Chapter 405 Difficult Birth
"Rouge! Rouge!"
A quick low cry was heard, Yanzhi suddenly got up from the couch and quickly opened the door.
Nanny Yuan rushed in and quickly closed the door, lowering her voice and saying, "They've launched a movement over there. The old lady hasn't received the news yet, but it should be soon. Tell her quickly."
At this time, the door of the inner room was opened and Jiang Yunshu came out wearing a thick coat.
"Has it already started or has it been born?"
Nanny Yun hurried forward and said, "There was a movement over there half an hour ago. Madam Jiang just sent someone to deliver the news. I wonder if the baby is born yet? But it shouldn't be that soon. It will take at least two or three hours."
Jiang Yunshu: "Where's that girl Hongyu?"
Nanny Yuan: "Don't worry, Madam, she won't wake up until daybreak."
"Okay, go and keep an eye on the old lady."
Half a minute later, Nanny Niu received the news and entered Mrs. Cheng's room and gently woke her up.
Madam Cheng was about to get angry after being woken up for no reason, but she saw Nanny Niu looking anxious, "Did they start a war over there?"
"It started. It started half an hour ago."
Madam Cheng got off the bed swiftly, "Does the Marquis know?"
"You should know. Li Xiao has been guarding the old uncle's study. There will be a second message in half an incense stick of time, until Madam Yu gives birth."
Madam Cheng asked, "Where's Shushu?"
"Madam will be up in half an hour and heading to Taoguangyuan. Should we wait until she's on her way there and start the fight, or..."
Madam Cheng thought for a moment, "Let's wait until Yu gives birth before we try to scare her. What if Yu doesn't give birth, and she's already in labor and hasn't fallen asleep yet? If we see the baby, it'll be easy to expose the truth if we change the baby. Quickly go to the kitchen and tell them to make a few more of Shushu's favorite dishes."
"Then... just to be on the safe side, should we give you some more drugs?"
"No need, she's had enough. It's not good to have more and hurt the child. Go and prepare it."
"yes."
Yu Mansion
Yu Qingyao was extremely anxious when she saw that Yu's face turned pale and she fainted from the pain.
Isn’t giving birth to a child too scary?
"Mom, wake up. Don't scare me."
Yu Ziyuan slowly opened her eyes and said weakly, "Mom is fine, she's just tired. It's still too early to give birth."
She's only opened two fingers now.
"Madam." Chuntang came in with the medicinal porridge. "This is the medicinal porridge that Meng Guangde asked me to make. It will give you strength and protect your pregnancy."
Yu Qingyao took it and fed it to Yu Ziyuan herself.
After eating, Yu Ziyuan's pale face regained color and her strength was restored.
"Yao'er, it's getting late. Go to school quickly. By the time you come back, your mother will have given birth."
"I've asked someone to go to the academy to ask for leave from Mr. Tong. Daddy is away, so I have to stay by your side. I can only feel at ease when you give birth to your little brother safely."
My eldest brother died prematurely because he was not examined in time after birth.
Now she is no longer a newborn baby, she has grown up and is able to protect her younger brother.
Yu Ziyuan was very relieved, "Okay then, don't be scared when mother screams in pain later."
"Won't!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Qingyao saw Yu Ziyuan's face suddenly distorted, and an unbearable scream of pain suddenly sounded in her ears.
Chuntang and the midwife came forward together, and the room suddenly became chaotic.
"Madam, it's three fingers dilated. Push harder, push harder, steady, steady, it's going to four fingers dilated..."
At the same time, Feng Yingying took her men and Cheng Qingmeng out through the back door and rushed to a small teahouse diagonally across the street from Cheng's house.
Not long after Feng Yingying and Cheng Qingmeng entered, the spies who were arranged in advance to keep an eye on the Cheng Mansion came over.
"Madam, my aunt went to Taoguang Courtyard half a quarter of an hour ago. The Cheng family hasn't taken any action yet, and the concubine's child hasn't been born yet."
Feng Yingying: "Okay, keep exploring!"
Cheng Qingmeng said: "Aunt, my mother will be frightened by the plan when she comes out of Taoguangyuan."
Feng Yingying saw her body shaking, and quickly pulled her to sit down. "Don't worry, we predicted it in advance. Their plan failed, and your mother was just pretending to be frightened. The baby hasn't been born yet, so the Cheng family will probably have to wait until the concubine gives birth before taking action. Also, your mother has people hidden inside and outside the yard, waiting for them to go in and switch the baby."
"Brother Xiao." Jiang Yunshu came in with the medicine as usual.
Cheng Xiao hurriedly supported herself with her arms and sat up, but found it more difficult than usual.
"Don't move."
Jiang Yunshu quickly put down the medicine and walked over to help him, then put a quilt behind him for him to lean on.
She casually picked up the medicine and handed it to him, "Drink it while it's hot so it will be effective."
Cheng Xiao took it and drank it slowly.
Jiang Yunshu narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Drink, drink more!"
Don't blame her for being cruel!
"Shushu, you haven't been feeling well lately. Didn't we agree that you don't have to come to accompany me every morning? I will go to see you and have breakfast with you. Why don't you listen to my advice?" Cheng Xiao said with a tone of blame and a hint of heartache, "You look much worse than when I first came back home."
Jiang Yunshu pursed her lips and said, "You are really good at acting."
His sweetheart was giving birth to his child, yet he still cared about her.
"I'm fine, I just want to give birth to a son. But I don't know when you'll be able to stand up again. I feel bad if I don't come and see you get better day by day. You have to stand up soon. Our son wants a father who is upright and can lead him to martial arts and victory."
Cheng Xiao comforted him, "Don't worry, Shushu. For the sake of our son and the Cheng family, I will naturally cheer myself up and exercise well. After breakfast and the acupuncture, I will go to the yard and stand against the wall. I am confident that in less than ten years, I will be able to walk again."
Jiang Yunshu looked at the determination in his eyes and sneered in her heart, this was not for her son at all.
It’s for the concubine’s son!
"I believe you. If you say you can, then you can definitely stand up sooner! Come and have dinner."
On the other side, Cheng Zhang entered Old Madam Cheng's room and asked, "Sister-in-law has given birth, when will we start?"
Madam Cheng frowned, feeling a little panicked. "Why are you in such a hurry? The baby hasn't been born yet. It won't be too late to take action after it's born."
"No, Mom, we have to act quickly. What if Jiang Yunshu is forced to give birth today and the baby is born tomorrow? Babies change every day after they are born."
Madam Cheng tightened her fingers, suppressing the inexplicable panic in her heart. "With Meng Guangde here, we won't delay until tomorrow. We must make sure Shushu falls asleep after giving birth. She can't see the baby's face."
"That's the thing. Jiang Yunshu will be returning from Taoguangyuan soon. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the baby isn't born there, Jiang Yunshu won't be able to come out when she returns. Do you want her to come to see you with a big belly and then try to scare her on the way? That would easily give her away."
"Don't worry, Axiao will hold her back."
"Madam," Nanny Niu came in, "the baby is five fingers dilated and now she's exhausted. There are signs of a difficult labor. I'm afraid it won't be delivered until noon."
Old Madam Cheng looked worried. This time it was a single baby, not twins, and the baby was growing so slowly!
Cheng Zhang: "It's only an hour and a half until noon, so now is the perfect time to start."
