"Who sent the imperial physician?" Fang Wenshi asked angrily, perhaps because he was too anxious, his expression revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Shen Mingrong immediately understood what he was bothered about; it was simply because the imperial physician was a man.
She had never felt that Fang Wenshi treated Shen Ming'e badly before. After all, only the person experiencing the life together truly knows whether it's good or bad. But now it seems that Fang Wenshi's treatment of Shen Ming'e is indeed questionable.
"I let them have it, so what?"
Shen Mingrong spoke with displeasure, staring coldly at Fang Wenshi with a questioning look in his eyes.
"How could you let a man in? Aren't you being reckless?"
"Reckless?" Shen Mingrong rarely showed such a tough attitude. "The person is in this state, and you still haven't called a doctor? What, do you wish for the person to just die?"
Although she knew it was unlucky to say such things at this time, it was the truth. If Shen Ming'e had been able to give birth to this child today without a doctor, it would have been a stroke of luck for her. But one can't always rely on something that has such a high element of luck.
Fang Wenshi was speechless, but he was still furious.
This woman's innocence is of utmost importance. Even if her feet are exposed and seen by others, her innocence will be in jeopardy. Since childbirth is such a private matter, having a man present makes the woman's innocence even more questionable.
Fang Wenshi felt a tickling sensation in his heart and a general sense of unease whenever he thought about it.
But now that he's already in jail, what's the point of him making a scene with Shen Mingrong again?
He thought about it and decided to swallow his bitterness. At worst, he could just spend less time with his wife in the future, and then he wouldn't feel so uncomfortable. As long as the child could be born safely, nothing else mattered.
Fang Wenshi put out the fire, thinking that would be the end of it, but things didn't go as planned. Unexpectedly, Fang's mother came running over after hearing the news.
She knew her daughter-in-law was giving birth, but she figured that with the midwife and other caregivers there, she wouldn't be of much use. She came over for a quick look and then went back to sleep. But the gatekeeper came to tell her that the Duke and Duchess of Rongguo had arrived.
At the time, she didn't take it seriously. What were the Duke and Duchess? They weren't her ancestors. Why should she bother getting up to entertain them? What benefit would it bring her? The Rongguo Duke's mansion was powerful and influential, but she didn't gain any advantage from it.
Originally, I thought that since the Shen family had produced an empress, my son would surely pass the imperial examinations without any problem after marrying a girl from the Shen family. Who knew that he would fail the examinations again and again? If even having an empress as a sister could lead to this, what's so great about being the wife of the Duke of Rong? Could she possibly make her son pass the imperial examinations directly?
So, Fang's mother lay back down. She was a widow, so if she didn't want to go, she didn't want to go, and no one could say anything about it.
Who knew that the maidservant would run over again and tell her that the madam was having trouble giving birth and was hemorrhaging. The Duchess of Rongguo had immediately called a doctor and even entered the delivery room.
This is terrible!
Fang's mother had never heard of a man going into a woman's womb to give birth. If word got out, how could the Fang family face anyone? She immediately got up and ran over.
Shen Mingrong and her husband, the Duke of Rongguo, stood steadily together, with a dozen or so people standing behind them. They were clearly skilled servants and guards, as well as burly old women. She wouldn't be a match for any of them.
Her arrogance was immediately suppressed. Fang's mother took a deep breath, glanced at her son who was hanging his head, and didn't know how to speak.
Shen Mingrong was worried about Shen Ming'e at the moment and didn't want to say much to Fang's mother. She was already annoyed by the Fang family's behavior, let alone lower herself to greet Fang's mother.
Seeing that Shen Mingrong didn't like her, Fang's mother coughed twice, feeling conflicted.
Even though the other person was of a higher status than her, and he ignored her, she couldn't ignore him. After mentally preparing herself, Fang's mother still went up to greet Shen Mingrong.
"Duke Rong, Duchess Rong, my wife gave birth so late, I'm so sorry to have bothered you. It's already curfew, isn't it? I wonder if your journey here was smooth?"
"You didn't know Ming'e had a seizure?"
Shen Mingrong looked coldly at Fang's mother. At this moment, she didn't care about her daughter-in-law's situation, but came to ask whether the curfew was handled smoothly or not. What did it have to do with her whether it was smooth or not?
Shen Mingrong finally understood that the Fang family didn't take Shen Ming'e seriously. Considering that such a big event hadn't been attended by any members of the Shen family, and the Fang family had the same attitude, she suddenly realized that after marrying into the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, she had been protected too well by her husband, to the point that she had overlooked many important pieces of information.
Since the entire Shen family knows, her mother must know as well. The Fang family is not a good family. Shen Ming'e married into the family because Fang Wenshi and her mother were honest and law-abiding.
She initially thought that Fang's mother was a very strong person. After Fang's father passed away, she raised her child alone and managed to keep the family's meager assets until now. She felt that it was already very difficult for a woman to do so.
But she never expected the Fang family to treat Shen Ming'e this way.
Shen Ming'e is Liu's child. Liu is a concubine, so she is considered a legitimate daughter. With Shen Mingzhuang, the Empress of the Shen family, what kind of person can't be chosen? Why does she have to rely on your Fang family?
Madam Liu initially agreed to her daughter's marriage because she valued her son-in-law's talent; she must be anxiously pacing around at home right now.
The thought had barely formed when the sound of horses' hooves rang out outside. Soon, the gatekeeper rushed in, saying that the third mistress of the Shen family had arrived.
