Marry a Duke

Chapter 91 Asking for a Midwife in Advance

She changed her clothes and went to Qingfuyuan with Yudi.

Qiao'er and Qian Wu are both very skilled, so she only takes them with her when she goes out, so there is no need to bother them at home.

So as to avoid wasting talents.

When I arrived at Qingfuyuan, I found Wei Xuan was also there. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to go out today.

Nanny Li led the person in and politely asked Fu Ran to take a seat.

Fu Ran thanked him.

She also thanked Madam Wei. There were only them, mother and son, at the table, and no one else. She also knew that Lan Yin and Wei Nian usually had their meals in their own courtyard.

He would only come to Qingfuyuan occasionally to have meals with the old lady.

There was no oppression or intimidation. Fu Ran now looked gentle and generous in temperament. He looked completely different from before.

"I asked the kitchen to prepare fish porridge and shrimp dumplings this morning. Come and try them quickly." Old Madam Wei had someone put the fish porridge in front of Fu Ran, and also added a plate of shrimp dumplings for her.

The Wei family’s cooking skills are quite good. The fish porridge is very tasty, with a fishy smell but no fishy taste. The shrimp dumplings have thin skin and large fillings. When you take a bite, the shrimp meat is very fresh and fragrant.

"It's delicious." Fu Ran said flatteringly.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Old Madam Wei saw that Fu Ran's body shape was not much different from last time and he had not gained any weight. She also heard that Fu Ran was doing various exercises in his yard.

She was afraid that her belly was too big and would lead to a difficult delivery.

Before, Madam Wei only wanted to kill the mother and keep the child. The child was the blood of the Wei family and she was reluctant to give him up. However, Fu Ran was an insult to the Wei family, so she didn't have to keep him.

The situation is different now, and she still hopes that her grandson will have his biological mother by his side.

"You don't have to worry about eating too much and causing the fetus to become too large and difficult to deliver. Xuan'er has already found two famous midwives for you. They are now brought to the mansion to deliver your baby."

Mrs. Wei said.

Fu Ran was startled when he heard this, and the shrimp dumpling he had just picked up fell lightly onto the fish porridge. Fortunately, the porridge did not splash.

She looked at Wei Xuan beside her with surprise.

"Thank you for your concern, Duke."

She really didn't expect that Wei Xuanjin had already found a midwife, but then she thought about it and understood that he just didn't want her to repeat the mistakes of his ex-wife.

He did not tell her about this in Chaoguangyuan, but asked her to come to the old lady.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to want to talk about this in advance.

Wei Xuan raised his eyes, his deep black eyes, and looked at her for a long while.

Seeing her clear and steady eyes, his eyes flashed.

"You don't have to worry too much. The same thing happened once, which is the limit. I will never let it happen a second time."

Wei Xuan said in a very calm tone.

For some reason, these words made Fu Ran feel somewhat relieved.

She curled her lips and smiled gently, very sincerely.

"The Duke is so worried, and the old lady is so kind to Fu Ran, the child will be born safely, and I won't worry anymore."

Perhaps because her smile was too innocent, Wei Xuan looked at her again.

The old lady smiled and nodded.

"After dinner, I'll let you meet two midwives. They don't live in Chaoguang Courtyard, so as not to disturb you and Wei Xuan's peace, but they will always be in the mansion. If you have any questions, you can find them in advance."

"Okay." Fu Ran was really relieved. He ate a bowl and a half of fish porridge and six shrimp dumplings for breakfast, filling his stomach.

She would not be so naive as to think that nothing would happen with a midwife.

Even though the technology was as advanced and the medical skills were superb as in the previous life, there were still women who entered the delivery room and never came out again.

What's more, this is the world.

She had her own set of health-preserving methods, but she did it just to please the old lady and Wei Xuan so that they wouldn't think she was ungrateful.

After dinner, Fu Ran met two midwives, one in her fifties and the other in her sixties.

They are all proficient in midwifery and have been working in this field for decades.

There are at least hundreds of babies born safely by them, if not thousands.

They have a lot of experience.

Fu Ran asked a few questions casually.

What should I do if the fetal position is unstable?

The two midwives were indeed quite capable, as they were able to change the fetus' position.

Fu Ran asked again, what if the fetus's umbilical cord is wrapped around the neck?

The two midwives don't have a completely reliable method, and a doctor with excellent medical skills and proficient in obstetrics, gynecology and pediatrics will be needed to help deliver the baby.

It is impossible to see whether the fetus is wrapped around the neck while it is in the womb. The process of delivery requires both the fetus and the mother to exert force. If the neck is severely wrapped, it will inevitably cause fetal suffocation.

If there is a doctor nearby, he or she can provide timely treatment. If the delivery process goes smoothly, the baby is born quickly and is rescued quickly, then nothing will happen.

Once the time is prolonged, there will definitely be an impact.

In severe cases, it may even endanger the life of the fetus.

"So serious?" Wei Xuan frowned when he heard that. Everyone said that having children is a woman's natural mission. He only knew that it was not easy, but he never thought it was so difficult.

"My Lord, when a woman gives birth, it's like stepping into the gates of hell. It's very difficult," said one of the midwives.

"Giving birth is a life-threatening struggle for the mother. When I first started delivering babies, there were not enough midwives nearby, so many women died in utero. Some were even more tragic, with two lives lost for one." Another midwife sighed.

On this day, Wei Xuan didn't go out until almost noon.

Fu Ran also chatted with the two midwives for a long time at the old lady's place, and had lunch before returning to Chaoguangyuan.

The two midwives are indeed famous and they do have a lot of experience.

Fu Ran still trusts them quite a bit.

There is Doctor Ji in the palace. With the two of them working together, her delivery should be much safer.

Later, she asked someone to inquire about Qi Ya's family and send a letter over.

Qiya and her parents have returned to their hometown.

I heard that her parents had arranged a marriage for Qi Ya two months ago.

Fu Ran had long given up the idea of ​​inviting them back.

She tried to invite them back, but it was only because she felt guilty. It was she who implicated them and was kicked out of the Wei family.

If they are still willing to come to the Wei family to continue working, she also hopes that they can return to their original positions.

She wanted to make up for her past mistakes.

But now that Qiya's family has returned to their hometown, there is no need to make such a fuss.

Fu Ran found a trustworthy person and sent fifty taels of silver to Qi Ya as a dowry.

After the person left, the raindrop was very confused.

"Didn't Madam want Qiya to come back? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Yu Di, Qi Ya is getting married. She has her own family and her own way of making a living. Besides, what can I do if I find them back? I am not the head of the Duke's Mansion. It is not up to me to decide what happens to them in the future."

She herself is still determined by others.

"If something happens to them one day, I will still be unable to protect them. Instead of that, let them stay in their hometown and live a good life. Qiya is very simple and I hope her husband's family will treat her well."

Therefore, she gave a dowry of fifty taels. If Qiya's husband's family knew that it was a gift from the wife of Duke Weiguo, at least they would have some scruples if they wanted to treat Qiya badly.
