Yuan Wei's Quick Travel

Chapter 175 Cannon Fodder Substitute 24

A wealthy family would never keep a girl in their house as a maid.

Even if his parents agreed, would his brothers agree? Not to mention the next generation.

This will affect the marriages of other girls in the family!

Unless the girl has a special skill or enjoys a good reputation in the outside world.

This reputation is not the reputation of a so-called talented woman, but a real reputation of merit.

However, the second girl had nothing but her willfulness.

Chu Wanyi protected her belly carefully.

Since I became pregnant, except for the first three months when the reaction was more severe, my appetite has improved since then.

But my body felt increasingly exhausted.

Chu Wanyi, filled with joy, ignored this feeling of fatigue. Perhaps she didn't care about it at all. As long as the baby in her belly was fine, that was enough.

Finally, after a long wait, the time has come for the fruit to ripen.

Chu Wanyi is about to give birth.

As early as two months ago, Chu Wanyi had hired three experienced midwives to be on standby at home.

And asked them to come and check their stomachs every day.

After several examinations, the midwives all said that the fetal position was normal and there should not be any major problems during delivery.

In addition, Chu Wanyi asked the court doctor to take her pulse every two days, but no abnormalities were found.

Despite such thorough arrangements, Chu Wanyi still had a difficult delivery!

She struggled painfully for a day and a night, but still failed to give birth to the baby.

At this moment, she was exhausted, as if all her strength had been drained away.

From the moment she began giving birth, she felt her strength rapidly draining away.

Her body was not strong enough to begin with, and after only half a day, she could only lie on the bed with her big belly, groaning weakly.

"We can't go on like this. Your Madam has completely lost her strength and is unable to give birth to this child."

Midwife Li said to Nanny Shi with a nervous look.

The Marquis' Mansion spent a huge sum of money to hire them to deliver babies. If both the mother and the child cannot be saved, it will not just be a matter of ruining their reputation, but even their lives may be in danger.

"Yes, Mammy, go out and ask whether we should save the adults or the children now."

Another midwife Liu asked anxiously.

"What do you mean by protecting the elders and the younger ones?! If anything happens to my wife, I want you to be buried with her."

Nanny Shi's fierce eyes seemed to be able to eat people. She stared fiercely at the people in front of her, and her voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Madam, do you mean to protect the eldest son?" Midwife Liu asked cautiously, praying in her heart not to anger the madam.

"Can you make the decision?" Midwife Liu was a little at a loss.

"You've seen the situation here. I think Ma'am, you should go out and ask. If you delay any longer, there will be two deaths."

The child midwife who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke, her tone full of helplessness and worry.

Nanny Shi's expression became even gloomier.

Go out and ask? Who should I ask?

It goes without saying that the Marquis will definitely choose to protect the young one.

After all, the lady had always told the Marquis that she was pregnant with a boy, and the Marquis was eagerly awaiting the birth of his son.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, the Marquis will choose to save the child without hesitation.

A feeling of despair welled up in Nanny Shi's heart, but she knew she couldn't show it.

She took a deep breath and asked as calmly as possible, "If you want to save the little one, can you try to save my wife?"

Although her voice was soft, the determination contained in it could not be ignored.

"Of course, we will do our best to protect adults and children, but in times of crisis, there are always trade-offs."

Midwife Li said with a serious face.

Midwife Liu and Midwife Tong also nodded in agreement.

They also don't want to face such a difficult decision, but now that things have come to this, they have to make a choice in order to determine how to deliver the baby next.

Nanny Shi looked solemn and walked out of the delivery room with heavy steps to ask the Marquis.

As she expected, the Marquis chose to protect the young one without hesitation.

Nanny Shi returned to the delivery room and looked at Chu Wanyi, who was unconscious on the bed and her face was as pale as paper. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart, her throat choked, and she was speechless for a moment.

I don’t know if the lady regrets it now, but she does.

If I had persuaded him a little more, perhaps he wouldn't be in such a desperate situation now.

Or perhaps, if she had simply replaced the medicine and lied that it had expired, perhaps all this could have been avoided.

But it's too late to regret now.

Half an hour later, a faint baby cry broke the silence in the delivery room.

Nanny Shi perked up and asked anxiously, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

The atmosphere in the room was extremely solemn. Everyone was silent, as if time had stopped.

After a long time, Midwife Li finally mustered up the courage and tremblingly said, "Congratulations to your family on the birth of your daughter."

They had already known that there were more than a dozen girls in the Marquis's Mansion, and the Marquis's wife had always longed to have a son.

But this time it's still a girl, which will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the Marquis's wife.

Fortunately, Midwife Li knew that there was a young master in the mansion, otherwise it is hard to imagine how desperate the Marquis's wife would be.

He went through many hardships and even almost lost his life, but all he got in return was a daughter.

When Nanny Shi heard the word "thousand gold", her mind went blank in an instant.

How can it be?

I clearly used a secret recipe and was even guaranteed it would be a boy!

Madam went through so much pain and torture for so long and endured so much suffering, but in the end she only got a girl?

Thinking of this, Nanny Shi suddenly woke up, rushed to the bedside, and looked at Chu Wanyi with concern, "How is my wife?"

"Mrs. Hou lost too much blood and fainted from exhaustion. She seems fine now, but be careful of heavy bleeding. It would be best to have a doctor come in to take a look."

"As for when the Marquis will wake up, we don't know, and we can't be sure what her condition will be like after she wakes up."

Logically speaking, if the baby is to be kept, the midwife's actions are very unfriendly to the mother, and usually the mother will bleed heavily after the baby is born.

But strangely, the Marquis's wife just fainted and did not suffer from heavy bleeding.

You know, they just pulled the child out.

Yuan Guangheng was worried from the moment he heard the baby crying. When he found out it was another girl, he angrily threw his sleeves and left.

Damn, why is it another girl?

It was all Chu Wanyi's fault. She promised so confidently that he had waited so long in vain.

When Yuan Lan found out that her mother gave birth to a younger sister, she laughed wildly.

I laughed so hard that tears came out and I couldn't stop.

Late at night, Yuan Wei quietly came to the main courtyard.

After pressing the night watchmen's sleeping acupoints to ensure that they would not wake up, Yuan Wei tiptoed to Chu Wanyi's bedside.

She skillfully took out a silver needle from her bosom, inserted it into Chu Wanyi's acupuncture point with skillful technique, and gently rotated the silver needle.

After a moment, Chu Wanyi slowly opened her eyes.

Yuan Wei looked at her leisurely, with a faint smile on her lips.
