The most important issue is that the child in the womb has already passed away.
Yun Jinnian looked at the midwife, "Tell me, how can Lady Xu’s child be safely delivered?"
"This servant, this servant..." the midwife stuttered.
"Lady Xu’s child has lost its heartbeat and breath. Next, I will stop Lady Xu’s bleeding. You have the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and no matter what you have to do, you must deliver the child!"
The midwife swallowed hard, "This servant, this servant will try her best!"
The silver needles were prepared and brought in, and Yun Jinnian wiped his hands with a damp cloth before starting to administer the needles to Lady Xu.
Soon the bleeding stopped.
The midwife was utterly shocked.
The imperial physicians before had all shaken their heads and sighed.
Because the bleeding could not be stopped, even if Lady Xu delivered the child, she would die of hemorrhage.
Yet the girl before her, so young in age, had such formidable medical skills?
Lady Xu, who was previously faltering, also seemed to gain some strength.
"Lady Xu, push hard!" the midwife encouraged Lady Xu from the side.
Buckets of hot water were carried into the delivery room. Buckets of bloody water were taken out.
As the sun set and dusk fell, the midwife finally came out of the room, "Lady, Master, Lady Xu is safe, but the child..."
Upon hearing this, Lady Xu’s mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lady Xu, "You go have a look!"
Lady Xu nodded and entered the delivery room.
The child was wrapped in swaddling clothes. Two sets of swaddling clothes, two children, already without breath.
Lady Xu uncovered the swaddling clothes; both children were boys, one child was missing hands, the other lacked a foot.
Lady Xu was startled.
"How could this be?" Lady Xu asked in a hurry.
Yun Jinnian tidied up a bit before slowly approaching Lady Xu, "Have someone bury these two children."
"Are they, are they ominous?" Lady Xu asked.
Yun Jinnian shook his head, "No, they are not ominous beings; they are like all children in the world, the flesh and blood of their parents, the crystallization of love, only because their parents are first cousins, and their blood relationship is too close, that’s why they were born with defects!"
Yun Jinnian remembered what Zhu Yan had said about the offspring of close relatives often having problems.
Lady Xu looked at Yun Jinnian.
She did not like the Yun Family, not even Yun Hui, but she was beginning to like Yun Jinnian a little.
"Have a good talk with the old lady later!"
Yun Jinnian nodded slightly.
Lady Xu had been cleaned up and moved to another room.
Yun Jinnian left the delivery room. The old Lady Xu saw the exhausted Yun Jinnian, who bowed slightly, "Lady, Jinnian is very sorry!"
"No, why apologize? You saved Lady Xu and the child in her womb!"
Yun Jinnian was astonished.
Lady Xu’s child clearly...
"Susu has longed for a child all her life. If she wakes up to find the child gone, she may not be able to bear it, I am her mother-in-law, and her aunt..." Lady Xu paused, "So Yun Jinnian, one day you may have to come again, to prove that my poor daughter-in-law truly had a healthy and lovely child!"
Yun Jinnian hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.
"Lady Xu is no longer in danger of losing her life, I will take my leave first!" said Yun Jinnian, bowing slightly.
After a moment of silence, the old Lady Xu called for the butler to escort Yun Jinnian out. At the gates of the Xu Residence, Uncle Cheng immediately came to meet her.
Yun Jinnian spoke a few words to the butler of the Xu Residence, and then rode in Uncle Cheng’s carriage back to the Yun Residence.
