"Congxin! Congxin is having a difficult labor!" Granny Mei said anxiously.
Jiang Ling felt as if she had been struck by lightning, her mind buzzing. Leaning against the doorframe, she shouted to Jiang Shan, "Quick! Go! Go find Granny Cao!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan swayed and ran out, while Jiang Ling took deep breaths to keep herself calm.
She had never given birth before, and her role in delivering Widow Wang's baby was purely accidental. Now that Shen Congxin was in critical condition, she dared not make any rash moves.
"Grandma Mei, is there any way?" Jiang Ling asked, her eyes wide.
Granny Mei replied somewhat anxiously, "This old servant will think of another way! Please don't worry, Madam!"
Jiang Ling shook her head repeatedly, signaling Granny Mei to hurry to the delivery room. Jiang Yaojie was also extremely anxious, pacing back and forth at the door.
"Mother! Congxin! Congxin is having a difficult childbirth! What should we do, what should we do?" Although Jiang Yaojie was already married, he cried and made a fuss like a child next to Jiang Ling!
Although Jiang Ling was also anxious, she patiently comforted him, "Don't panic, don't panic. You're lucky and will definitely be alright! Yaojie, you and your mother go inside!"
As she spoke, Jiang Ling pulled Jiang Yaojie into their bedroom.
The smell of blood filled the room. As soon as Jiang Ling entered, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She endured the discomfort and brought Jiang Yaojie to Shen Congxin's side.
When Granny Mei saw Jiang Yaojie, she was startled and quickly tried to shoo him away.
"Young Master, how could you come here? This is the delivery room, it's very unlucky! Get out!"
Jiang Yaojie stubbornly shook his head, stepped forward, and grabbed Shen Congxin's hand, saying, "No! I won't go out! What do I care about good or bad luck? My wife's life is the most important!"
Seeing that she couldn't persuade Jiang Yaojie, Granny Mei turned to Jiang Ling, but Jiang Ling said with a straight face, "With Yaojie here, Congxin won't be so scared. Let him stay here with his wife!"
Since his master had spoken like that, he, as a servant, couldn't say anything. He could only order people to boil water and tear up some cloth.
Jiang Shan walked quickly and soon brought Granny Cao in. Zhou Daxia, Hu Yue'er, and Er Leng's wife also rushed over to help boil water and cut cloth.
“Yao… Yao Jie…” Shen Congxin called Jiang Yao Jie’s name weakly, his face pale and covered in sweat.
Jiang Yaojie wiped away his tears, nodded, and choked out, "Hey, from the heart! From the heart! Are you in a lot of pain? Are you feeling unwell? If you're not feeling well, then don't talk, okay?"
Shen Congxin forced a smile on her pale face and continued to say to Jiang Yaojie, "Husband, I might... I might not make it! You must... you absolutely must take good care of our child..."
"You're not allowed to say such discouraging things! If you're not here, what am I supposed to do taking care of you? I don't believe it!" Jiang Yaojie said, his whole body trembling, choking up and unable to say a word. He could only hold Shen Congxin's hand tightly and wail.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling frowned, pulled Jiang Yaojie out of the delivery room, and said that things were already chaotic enough, and he was just adding to the trouble.
While everyone was distracted, Jiang Ling bought a piece of chocolate from the mall and shoved it into Shen Congxin's mouth. She also bought several packets of ginseng nutrient solution and quickly forced them down Shen Congxin's throat.
Whether it was the nutrient solution working or not, after a while, Granny Cao and Granny Mei looked at Jiang Ling excitedly and said, "Grandma! Grandma! She has strength again!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling was even more excited. Granny Cao and Granny Mei gently pressed on Shen Congxin's belly while issuing commands.
"Wah~ Wah~ Wah~" The cries of babies echoed through the delivery room.
At that moment, Jiang Ling felt a rush of heat to her eyes, and two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks.
"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Madam! You've given birth to a beautiful daughter!" Granny Mei exclaimed excitedly.
"Good! Good! There are red envelopes! There are red envelopes! You are the heroes of the Jiang family!" If it weren't for Jiang Ling's status as a matriarch, Jiang Ling would probably have kowtowed to Granny Mei and Granny Cao.
"How is Congxin?" Hearing the child's loud cries, Jiang Ling felt that the child should be fine, and she quickly looked at Shen Congxin on the bed and asked.
Grandma Cao slowly walked over, took Jiang Ling's hand, and said, "Don't worry, this child is just temporarily asleep due to exhaustion from her first pregnancy!"
Jiang Ling immediately pulled a silver ingot from her pocket and placed it in Granny Cao's hand: "Granny! Thank you! Thank you so much, without you I would have..."
Jiang Ling couldn't say anything more and could only cover her face and cry.
At this moment, her feelings were complicated, like a jumble of mixed emotions.
"Mother! Mother! How is my wife?" Jiang Yaojie rushed in after hearing the baby's cries.
"Yaojie! Congratulations! Your wife gave birth to a daughter!" Hu Yue'er ran to Jiang Yaojie's side and said with a smile.
Jiang Yaojie was completely stunned. After a long pause, he rushed to Jiang Ling's side and anxiously asked, "Mother! Mother! From my heart! From my heart..."
Seeing Jiang Yaojie's anxious state, Jiang Ling comforted him, "Don't worry, your wife is fine! Go and keep her company!"
Jiang Yaojie exclaimed "Hey!" and hurriedly ran towards Shen Congxin's side.
"Mother! Mother! Why is Congxin unconscious?" Jiang Yaojie asked Jiang Ling cautiously, looking at Congxin who was lying on the bed, pale-faced and with a furrowed brow.
Jiang Ling was a little helpless; she'd certainly had her fill of this PDA. She said calmly, "Your wife is still weak after giving birth. Don't disturb her; let her rest."
As soon as Jiang Ling finished speaking, Jiang Yaojie covered his mouth with his hand and nodded cautiously to Jiang Ling.
Grandma Mei and Grandma Cao had already washed the child with warm water and wrapped him in a quilt.
"Grandma! Congratulations, Grandma! You're a grandma now!" Grandma Mei smiled and took the baby into Jiang Ling's arms.
“Uh…Grandma…” Jiang Ling grinned, and couldn’t help but sigh. In modern times, she hadn’t even gotten married yet, but in ancient times, she was already a grandmother.
Looking at the soft, cuddly child in her arms, as tender and adorable as a little dumpling, Jiang Ling was very pleased.
Jiang Ling gently patted the baby's back and rocked her body softly to soothe the child in her arms.
"Mom...I...can I hold her?" Jiang Yaojie approached from somewhere and looked at his daughter in Jiang Ling's arms.
Jiang Ling was amused by Jiang Yaojie's dramatic actions. She carefully placed the child in Jiang Yaojie's arms and said, "Why not? You're the child's father, of course you can hold him! But be careful!"
Jiang Yaojie blushed slightly at Jiang Ling's words and gave an embarrassed, sheepish smile.
“My… my husband…” Shen Congxin’s weak voice came from behind.
Jiang Ling, Jiang Yaojie, and everyone around them suddenly surrounded Shen Congxin's bedside.
"Wife! Wife! I'm a father! I'm a father! Look, this child looks just like you. He'll definitely grow up to be a great beauty!" Jiang Yaojie said excitedly to Shen Congxin as he placed the child next to her pillow.
