Chapter 409: Hallucinations
"Mom." Jiang Yunshu called out weakly when he saw Old Madam Cheng bringing people in.
At this time, Jiang Yunshu's entire neck and above were covered in sweat, and his face looked slightly pale.
"...I saw my period prematurely. What should I do? Will the baby be in trouble?"
Seeing that she looked unwell, Old Lady Cheng felt uneasy. Did she give her too much medicine and was she really worried about her child?
But Meng Guangde wouldn't lie to her. He soothed her in a soft voice, "It's already nine months old, and the baby is fully grown. Meng Guangde is waiting outside. You will definitely be able to give birth safely. Midwife Wang, please go and see how Shushu is doing."
Before midwife Wang stepped forward, Madam Hui said, "Madam, the madam is only a finger dilated now and the labor pains have stopped. The fetus is a little large, but the fetal position is normal. Also, the madam has been unwell recently, so the birthing process will be difficult and may not be delivered until tonight."
Good evening!
The light was dim, and even if Shushu didn't fall asleep immediately after the birth, she wouldn't be able to see the baby's face clearly.
"At night? It'll take so long, Shu Shude, how much suffering will it cause?"
Madam Hui said, "Doctor Meng just took the pulse and the child is fine. It's just that Madam is weak, so giving birth will be more difficult."
Nanny Yuan took over and said, "Don't worry, old madam. We have prepared a nourishing soup for you in the small kitchen as requested by Doctor Meng. We also have medicinal porridge and other emergency food. You will definitely be able to give birth safely."
"Ah..." Jiang Yunshu suddenly cried out, "That pain is coming again."
Nanny Hui hurried forward and asked Jiang Yunshu to regulate her breathing according to her own method.
Madam Cheng glanced at midwife Wang who was standing beside her and said, "Hurry up and lend a hand!"
Wang Wenpo couldn't even get to the bedside, as her place was taken by Nanny Yuan and Yanzhi.
Nanny Hui seemed to be more experienced than her, making her seem redundant.
Wang Wenpo turned around and looked at Old Madam Cheng helplessly.
Old Madam Cheng frowned slightly. How could she change the child when she was protecting him so closely?
Seeing Jiang Yunshu in unbearable pain, she was worried that the child would not be born and die in the womb.
After all, the prescriptions she had taken over the years were all folk remedies that were harmful to her health.
What if the child is born stupid?
Thinking of this, Old Lady Cheng became completely determined to exchange the child!
Jiang Yunshu estimated the time and howled in pain for half an incense stick of time before stopping.
Old Madam Cheng's tense nerves also relaxed.
Madam Hui said, "Madam, the lady is two fingers dilated. At this rate, she will be able to give birth to the young master after dinner time."
"My Lord, why did my sister-in-law suddenly start to act?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Cheng asked Wang Wenpo to stay in the room and help out at any time, then turned and left the room.
"Mother!" Cheng Zhang saw someone coming out and hurried over to ask, "Why is there no movement in the room? Will something happen to my sister-in-law if she sees her period early?"
Madam Cheng said unhappily, "It's okay. It's already two fingers dilated. When the pain stops, just rest for a while and then it will regenerate."
"Mom." Cheng Xiao pushed the wheelchair over by herself, "Is Shushu really okay?"
"Don't worry, Shushu is fine. The fetus is in a normal position. It's just that the baby has grown a little stronger. Shushu will suffer a little. Have you found out where the wild cat came from?"
Cheng Xiao glanced at Li Xiao, who quickly came forward, carrying a servant. "Madam, I've taken people to investigate. The wild cat came in through the dog hole in the back wall of the kitchen to steal food. He spotted it and chased it away with a stick. The wild cat got frightened and fled here, scaring Madam."
"Madam, please spare me. I didn't know that beast could escape here and scare you. If I had known, I wouldn't have chased it away."
Madam Cheng shouted angrily, "Asshole! Someone come here!"
"Mother." Cheng Zhang hurriedly said, "Should we punish him? Let's wait until my sister-in-law gives birth to the child safely. Also, it's not appropriate to add to the anger in the Hong Mansion when my sister-in-law sees him. Send him to the woodshed first."
Madam Cheng glanced inside the house and said, "Okay."
Meidai gritted her teeth secretly when she saw this and said, "You guys are really good at acting!"
If they had known about it beforehand, based on the Marquis's true feelings and the old lady's attitude at the moment, the master and servant would have been really confused and confused!
"Mom." Cheng Xiao looked at Old Madam Cheng anxiously.
Among the people her mother brought, only Wang Wenpo was allowed in, and no one else could get in.
We have to change it today no matter what, Ayuan’s child has been born!
Madam Cheng gave him a reassuring look and said, "Don't worry, just wait patiently. It took Shushu most of the day to give birth to Meng'er. By evening, you'll be able to hold your son."
After saying this, Madam Cheng led people to the pavilion, and Meng Guangde followed closely behind.
Because they were far away, the pavilion was full of Madam Cheng's people. Meidai could not hear or see their mouth shapes at all, and had no idea what they were saying.
In the room, Jiang Yunshu turned his head and saw Wang Wenpo's appearance clearly.
We are old acquaintances!
It was she who delivered the baby back then.
She is another maid who came with my mother-in-law as a dowry.
I haven't seen her at home for so many years, but she shows up again today!
The mother-in-law is determined to replace her child!
Now that she can't intervene, her mother-in-law will definitely think of other ways.
Jiang Yunshu closed his eyes slightly and thought for a while, then reached out and took Yanzhi's hand and wrote a few words on her palm.
"Yanzhi, my waist hurts so much. Quickly bring me some more candied fruits to try to distract me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Yanzhi took out three candied fruits from the eight-treasure box and fed them to Jiang Yunshu.
Then, avoiding Wang Wenpo's sight, she took out a few soybean-sized pills from the interlayer of the eight-treasure box and quietly stuffed them into the hands of Nanny Yuan and Nanny Hui.
Seeing this, the two took the pills while Wang Wenpo was not paying attention.
"Madam, my cousin has no classes this afternoon. I'll send someone to invite her over. With her here, nothing will go wrong for you."
Wang Wenpo's heart instantly rose to her throat when she heard this.
Now that people from the Jiang Mansion have arrived, how can the old lady carry out her plan?
As soon as midwife Wang turned around, she heard Jiang Yunshu say, "I'm experiencing premature bleeding. If my parents knew, they'd be worried and blame Axiao for not taking good care of me. Doctor Meng is an expert in gynecology. He said I'm fine, and he'll let them know after the baby is born safely."
Wang Wenpo's heart was relieved.
She thought she couldn't help, and thought the young lady was dissatisfied with her delivery that year or discovered something?
Now it seems that she was overthinking it. The young lady still hasn't made any progress and her whole mind is on the Marquis.
Midwife Wang stood back in the distance. Seeing this, Jiang Yunshu pursed her lips and then frowned, "Ah, Yanzhi, that pain is coming again. Woo... I don't want to give birth anymore. It's so uncomfortable."
"Ma'am, just stand up straight."
Outside the courtyard, Cheng Xiao's expression tightened again, and he pushed his wheelchair around in front of the main house door.
Anyone who sees it will feel that he loves his wife to the core.
Madam Cheng withdrew her gaze and whispered to Meng Guangde, "Go and prepare."
"yes."
When Meidai saw Meng Guangde leaving the yard, she quickly winked at the people in the dark, telling them to follow and take a look.
What if other shady tricks are used?
Meng Guangde returned to his small courtyard, took some medicinal herbs from the courtyard, and quickly ground them into powder in his room. He then mixed the powder into the tranquilizing incense powder and rushed to Fangfei Garden with the added incense powder.
A moment later, the maid Xiaoju entered the room, picked up the remaining medicine powder on the table with a handkerchief and left the room.
Seeing that there was no one around, he went to the northwest corner of Fangfei Garden and handed the things to the person arranged by Feng Yingying. Then he hurried to the small kitchen and carried a basin of hot water to the front yard of the main house.
As soon as he came in, he saw Meng Guangde calmly handing the perfume powder to Old Madam Cheng.
Xiaoju breathed a sigh of relief and carried the hot water to the main house. "Sister Meidai, the hot water is ready. I'll get a basin first."
Meidai turned and pushed open the door. Xiaoju whispered something to her quickly while she was opening the door.
Meidai was secretly shocked. The old lady wanted to knock them out and then change the baby!
"Madam." Li An, who looked somewhat like Li Da, entered the private room of the teahouse and handed the handkerchief in his hand to Feng Yingying. "This is the medicinal powder that Meng Guangde just mixed. Xiaoju said that this powder was mixed into the tranquilizing incense powder."
Feng Yingying handed the handkerchief containing the medicine to Bai Luoheng who had arrived a quarter of an hour ago.
"Doctor Bai, look at what kind of medicine powder this is?"
Bai Luoheng picked up the powder and sniffed it gently, "This is a drug. Put it in the incense powder and light it. The fragrance it emits will make people dizzy and their memory will be confused."
Cheng Qingmeng asked hurriedly: "Will that affect the fetus?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen. I can confirm that after your mother gave birth to the child, the Cheng family lit some calming incense. They didn't need to send anyone away. They just switched the child. Your mother, Yanzhi, and the others wouldn't be able to find out."
Feng Yingying frowned and asked in confusion, "How come Meng Guangde's medical skills have improved so rapidly?"
Bai Luoheng said, "Meng Guangde has been searching for medical books these days. I wonder where he got this from."
Feng Yingying angrily said, "Old Lady Cheng must have arranged for him to do this! Will my Shushu really faint then?"
"Don't worry, it won't happen. Sister Yu has already anticipated this." Bai Luoheng said to Li An, "Go back and report the truth. Madam Jiang should have a way to deal with it."
