The labor pain became more intense after Zhao eating some sugar porridge.
Su Muge took a look at Zhao’s private part. The cervix had opened two centimeters. “Mom, hang on, the cervix is to open.”
Zhao was healthy generally, but she had been bullied by An for many years, which harmed her health to some extent, and she went into labor early. She was dizzy but she made all her efforts to keep a clear mind. She had no energy to think why Muge knew a lot about labor.
Su Muge sent Yueru to collect all she needed, at the same time, the cervix was open fully.
“Mom, listen to me, breathe in and breathe out, try hard!”
Zhao grasped the quilt and obeyed Muge unconsciously.
Zhao had given birth to a child and this was her second labor. It should have been smooth. However, it’s been a long time, there was no more progress.
Meihua and other maids were too young to know the childbirth things, and they were all frightened by the basin with blood water.
An, who should have dealt with the general affairs in the mansion now, was enjoying the traditional opera in a theatre in the main street of Shunyang prefecture, with elegant and tranquil smile.
Li Mama entered the VIP room of the theatre and whispered to An, “Madam, Zhao fell down.”
Hearing that, An sneered complacently and continued smiling, “Such a pity. She’s been pregnant for so many months. If she died due to falling down, there would be two corpses. Does the lord know what happened?”
“The lord is off work today, and he is drinking in Zuihua Restaurant with some fellows.”
An stared at the stage, smiling hugely. “Interesting.”
“Ah!” Zhao cried loudly, making hearts tremble.
Su Muge looked at the sunset and thought that it’s been so long, if there’s still no progress, the two would be in danger!
Muge kept rubbing Zhao’s belly. The fetus was on position and Zhao had given birth a child before, so there shouldn’t have been a difficult labor.
“Madam, bad news, a man told me that your mother fell down on the ridge, and she died!”
Chunju didn’t bring a doctor but a thunderbolt news!
Zhao opened her eyes wide and huge, staring at Chunju and breathing heavily.
Muge had not enough time to stop Chunju saying that. She was so furious that she kicked Chunju out of the room. “Shut her mouth!”
Zhao’s mother lived in Zhao Village of Nancheng prefecture. Zhao was filial to her mother. Even if she lived a hard life in the Su mansion, she would try her best every year to send her mother something to support the old lady.
Muge understood that at this hard time, Zhao would be collapsed knowing that there was something wrong with her mother!
Zhao really did. She cried strongly. Her voice had become low and sorrowful, as if she were to faint.
Muge pinched her philtrum immediately because she was afraid that Zhao would die if she was not awake while she was being delivered!
“Mom, you have to give birth to the child safely now. That’s the most important thing!”
Zhao grasped Muge’s hand and gritted her teeth. “Yes, it’s my baby. I have to give birth to my child!”
Muge kneaded Zhao’s acupuncture points to make her more powerful. Until it was completely dark, a loud cry came from this shabby courtyard. The baby was delivered.
“Wa, Wa…”
“Congratulations, madam, it’s a boy!” Meihua held the baby who had been cleaned and almost lost her voice because of crying.
Zhao’s face was bloodless and pale, she held Muge’s hand tightly.
“Mumu…take good care of your brother, and, go to see your grandmother…”
Just finishing her sentence, Zhao passed out.
Muge was to clean Zhao’s body, but smelled a strong blood smell with heat when uncovering the quilt.
She looked down and gasped in the scene.
Flood of blood!
