Before the next day, as usual, someone was sent to pick Ji Qubing up to check on Wei Changying's pulse. Ji Qubing packed up his medical bag and followed Wei Zhengyin, while Ni Tao and his wife rushed to Jintong Courtyard to report the matter.
When Mrs. Huang heard this, she was also surprised. After thinking for a moment, she calmed down and warned: "Don't tell the young lady this yet, lest the young lady panic, and the birth will be more likely to go wrong."
Because Ni Tao served Ji Qubing, he was afraid that Ji Qubing would be taken away by Wei Zhengyin. If something happened to the eldest lady here, Mrs. Song would not do anything to her daughter and take her anger out on him. He asked anxiously: "If you don't tell the young lady and send people to chase Divine Doctor Ji back, what if the young lady is here..."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mrs. Huang's face sank and she scolded her son, "The young lady is in very good health! In my opinion, this birth will go smoothly! As for the things that haven't happened yet, you can Only focus on the bad ones?"
Ni Tao has always been afraid of his mother, so he shrank from being scolded, and muttered: "Because this is what Doctor Ji told Mrs. Second Aunt, and my son is also worried..."
"Miracle Doctor Ji!" Huang said angrily, "You also know that he is a miracle doctor? Do you? He can talk nonsense, and others don't dare to neglect him because of his medical skills. We have to tolerate him! And you?"
Seeing her mother-in-law scolding her husband so badly, Ni Tao's wife, Mrs. Liu, couldn't help but want to smooth things over. She asked her mother-in-law to calm down in a soft voice, and explained it nicely before saying: "... We are also afraid of making mistakes. I came here in a hurry after hearing your mother's instructions. I have been waiting for the miracle doctor at Ji's house, and I don't know the situation here, so I said in a hurry, mother, please don't argue with us. .”
Huang's two daughters-in-law were chosen by herself, and they usually get along well with each other. Since the daughter-in-law is not his own child and the relationship is good, of course he has to give Ni Tao extra face. He nodded at Ni Tao's forehead and said: "Look at how confused you are! You can't speak. I'll ask your wife to speak next time! This If it weren’t for your wife’s sake, look at how I’d beat you!”
After he stepped down from the stage, he taught Ni Tao earnestly, "Mrs. Second Aunt is the young madam's direct aunt. Now that she took Divine Doctor Ji away, she did not deliberately take away our young madam for no reason! That is because the fifth young master of the Su family was poisoned. It's extremely poisonous and life is in danger! In contrast, everything is fine here with our young lady! Even if you tell the young lady, let the young lady send people to catch up with Doctor Ji, let alone the second aunt's concern. The life and death of Mr. Su Wu must be light and simple, and rush over as quickly as possible! Even if we send people to chase him, we may not be able to catch up. Even if we can catch up, the young lady will not be scolded to death by everyone for doing such a thing! ? Not to mention that this is a clear enmity with the Su family and the Pei family! It's a shame you didn't say such stupid things in front of outsiders!"
Ni Tao blushed and said yes again and again. Mrs. Liu hurriedly tried to smooth things over and asked: "Then, mother, what else should I do now besides not telling the young lady?"
Looking at her daughter-in-law with approval, Huang said: "The young lady's current situation actually does not require Shen Ji to come to the house every other day. It's just that this is the first time that the young lady is pregnant, so she can't help but feel nervous. So she didn't listen to what Shen Ji said personally. He just couldn't reassure himself - fortunately, Doctor Ji was famous throughout the entire empire for his bad temper, so he decided to hide this from the young lady. When the day came, when the young lady entered the delivery room, he told the young lady. Doctor Ji is waiting outside, letting the young lady relax... "
In short, it’s just one word: Conceal!
Wei Changying's delivery date is just a few days away. Ji Qubing has been taken out of the capital by Wei Zhengyin. It's hard to catch up if he can't catch up. If Wei Changying knew about it at this moment, it would add more trouble to his heart, and maybe something would happen if nothing happened.
So it's better to hide it from her and tell her after the baby is born.
Ni Tao still felt uneasy and said: "The young lady will really be safe..." Seeing her mother-in-law's eyes widening, Mrs. Liu quickly pinched him hard and said loudly: "The young lady will be safe and sound then..." Although we won’t be waiting for you in the Jintong courtyard when you give birth to a little son, you still have the respect of your mother, so are you still worried that we won’t get any reward?”
Mrs. Huang actually heard clearly that it was just her son and she had to show him some dignity in front of her daughter-in-law. She gave him a fierce look, but did not pursue any further questions and sent them back to Ji's house.
Returning to Wei Zhangying, Wei Zhangying, Qinge and several maids unfolded many small clothes and checked the stitches one by one, chatting and laughing in a good mood. Seeing Huang come in, Wei Changying asked her with a smile: "Did you just hear that Ni Tao and the others were here?"
Huang responded and said, "They came and said something..."
Guard Chief Ying was startled and asked, "What's going on?"
"Doctor Ji said that the young lady is in very good health and there is no need to bother him all the time. Isn't that...sending them over to say that he will be unhappy tomorrow." Mrs. Huang showed a look of embarrassment and whispered.
After hearing this, Wei Changying bit his lip subconsciously - but with Ji Qubing's medical skills, there is only one in the country that has no equal. Even his cousin is not as good as him. Even though the status gap is huge, there is really no way to get it. Identity is oppressive... After thinking for a long time, he could only sigh and said: "Ji Qubing... forget it, since he said there is nothing wrong with me, let's leave it like that. When the time comes, go and invite him."
Huang said with a smile: "In fact, this also shows that you and the young master are very good, otherwise Divine Doctor Ji would have to be concerned about our old lady's face. Look at how many people there are in the Imperial Capital. Can we ask him to come to our house for medical treatment? Let alone visit us every other day."
When Mr. Huang said this, Wei Changying's worry about Ji Qubing's "reluctance to come" was relieved a little. He smiled and said: "It's true. If he doesn't come, just don't come. We'll hear it the next day. If he doesn't come, it will be easier for us if he says something unpleasant." Then he said, "Then you should go to your mother and tell her, so that she won't worry."
Mrs. Huang thought the same thing. When she arrived in front of Mrs. Su, she told the whole story in detail, and also said that she planned to hide it from the Wei Chief Ying. Su Yuwu was seriously injured and his life was difficult to save, and that Ji Qubing had been killed by Wei Zheng. The audio tape left the city and rushed to Donghu. Finally, he apologized to Madam Su: "The man who was serving Divine Doctor Ji just came over and told the maid these two things. The maid was afraid that if he came to report the madam first and then tell the young madam, she would arouse the young madam's suspicion. So she excused Ji first. The miracle doctor got mad and refused to come over. He hid it from the young lady. He waited for the young lady to tell the maid to come and inform the madam, so as not to worry the madam. Then the maid dared to come on her own and asked the madam to punish her. .”
Of course Mrs. Su would not punish her, but instead nodded and said: "You are right in dealing with it. After all, it is the person who was taught by Mrs. Song herself! Even I arranged it like this there. Changying is born in one litter. Her biological mother, My grandmother is not around. Although I love her, I also know that this woman is a mother for the first time, so she can feel more at ease with her own mother by her side. She almost had a miscarriage before, but now she is concerned about her safety. Ji Qubing, if she knew that Ji Qubing was not in the imperial capital and was worried about her cousin's life, I don't know how scared she would be! "
Mrs. Su agreed with Huang's approach and secretly sent people to Jintong Courtyard to gather all the servants and give them a good beating while Chief Wei Ying was taking a nap in the afternoon. They were ordered not to reveal any information about Su Yuwu and Ji Qubing to Wei Changying, otherwise the whole family would not stay in the Shen Mansion.
In this way, Wei Changying was kept a secret, and he continued to live his life as before.
In this way, on the night of March 13th, Wei Changying woke up from her sleep in pain and subconsciously called out the music to accompany her at night - because she was pregnant, she was afraid that the maids had not experienced it and would miss the big event, so the three of them An aunt and the maids took turns staying with her at night. When Qin Ge was woken up, she quickly called out Wan who was coming to stay with her this night. The two of them lit the lamp and went into the tent to take a look. Wan touched the underside of Wei Changying's body. He jumped onto the mattress and said in surprise: "It's red... I'm about to give birth. Go and call someone!"
Qin Ge was so shocked that he even forgot to leave the lamp for Wan Shi, and hurriedly ran out with it to inform everyone. The entire Jintong Courtyard was alarmed and became busy.
Fortunately, the Huang family, the He family, and the Wan family had all given birth, and Wei Changying's delivery date was also calculated on these two days. People like Wen Po were prepared and lived in the courtyard.
We were woken up together at this moment, washed our faces with cold water to wake up, and followed Wei Changying into the delivery room that had been prepared for a long time. After hearing the news, Mrs. Su, Mrs. Liu, and the Duanmu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up in the middle of the night and arrived. At that time, the water was boiled. The maid was carrying the water and was about to send it in. When she saw Mrs. Su and her entourage, she was about to salute. The anxious Mrs. Su waved her hand to stop her: "Send it in quickly... Can I ask inside?"
Before that, Mrs. Su and Mrs. Huang were discussing how to hide Wei Changying, while comforting each other: "She has always been in good health, and Doctor Ji has repeatedly said that there is no need to always invite him... for sure." Something will happen!"
But at the critical moment, there is still a difference between Ji Qubing's presence and absence, especially when he came here so frequently before, but he was not there at this critical moment. I was used to relying on him, and it was inevitable that I would not be able to adjust at once.
Mrs. Su was already a grandmother. She only hurriedly put on a thin spring sweater and twisted her handkerchief to blow the night wind outside. She even forgot to take her cloak. But instead of feeling cold, she felt a burning sensation in her heart. It felt so hot, and I couldn't calm down. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but secretly complain to Wei Zhengyin: "You are worried about your son, so you can't just ignore your niece!"
While silently praying for God's blessing, Duanmu Yanyu came up and whispered: "Mom, this is the first time for the third brother and sister to give birth. Since Doctor Ji is not in the capital, why not ask Xin Miao to come and wait? This way we can feel more at ease. .”
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but glance at her.
Mrs. Su was reminded and said hurriedly: "You are right! I actually forgot about Miss Eight. Although it is tonight, she has always had a good relationship with Chang Ying, and she is your sister. I think she will give our family this face." "He will send someone to invite him.
Duanmu Yanyu said hurriedly: "Is this midnight trip for my wife?"
"Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Su was very satisfied when she saw that she cared so much about her sister-in-law who was giving birth. The ill feeling she had towards her when she took her power disappeared, and she secretly thought that the second daughter-in-law was still virtuous in all matters.
But the virtuous Duanmu Yanyu said respectfully in front of her: "What did mother say? The third brother and sister are not outsiders. What's more, who in the family doesn't care about the third brother and sister now? A daughter-in-law can do her best. The strength also relies on the light of my mother-in-law’s sister.”
When they got to the carriage, the maid, who was familiar with her sincerity, whispered: "The temperament of the eighth young lady at home is almost the same as that of Divine Doctor Ji. Especially when I went to quarrel with her in the middle of the night, I also made a quarrel." I don’t know how unpleasant it will be to speak in her room... Just for the third young lady, why do you need to do this? "
Duanmu Yanyu glanced at her, raised the corner of his mouth, and muttered: "What do you know? Wei's baby is a boy, and he will be the second grandson of the Shen family! Shu Ming is almost ten years old, and there is only one The second grandson, coupled with Shen Zangfeng’s status in the clan, it will be difficult for her to think that her mother will be more valuable than her son!”
"Then the young lady can't help her even more!" the maid asked puzzledly, "What if the eighth lady is invited over and happens to save her, then she has to protect the pregnancy after she becomes pregnant, and the young lady has the right to... Don’t you have to ask her to take it back again?”
Duanmu Yanyu bit her lip and said: "So you are stupid. This Wei has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her health is already good. In addition, she is tall and tall, and she does not have the bones to have a difficult birth. Since she saved the pregnancy, I don't think she will have to suffer much during the birth. When Ji Qubing went there every other day, they said that her birth was smooth and the mother and baby were safe. Don't you still believe Ji Qubing's diagnosis? Tonight, I expect that even if something happens to her, nothing big will happen as long as Mr. Huang is here! My mother-in-law is worried because she has been relying on Ji Qubing before, but now that Ji Qubing is gone, she feels that she has lost her backbone - After all, the Shen family still has too few male grandsons! After waiting for so many years to welcome the second grandson who has not yet arrived, how can my mother-in-law not be so concerned?"
"Then the young lady is going to invite the eighth lady now..." The maid pondered, her eyes lit up, and said, "The young lady is telling the lady?"
"It's not just that." Duanmu Yanyu pursed her lips and said softly, "At such a critical moment as the birth, I, the second sister-in-law, stepped forward and went to ask her own clan sister to come over for her in the middle of the night for her safety. This It's a kindness that everyone sees. If Mrs. Wei's mother and son are safe, can she not repay me? Would she have the nerve to just take this power away from me, and I'll give it back to her? I have to refuse! Even if I accept it, I will definitely have to compensate her separately! It’s no big deal! I can’t bear the loss anyway, so what’s the point of running away?”
The maid was busy complimenting her: "Young madam, you are really wise and full of ideas!"
Duanmu Yanyu also felt that she had quick reactions tonight, and she said in a good mood: "There is another one! This is Wei's first birth. No matter how smooth she is, she won't be able to give birth in just a few hours. My mother-in-law because of her I was pregnant with a grandson. As soon as I got the news, I rushed there in person. My sister-in-law also went, so I had to go too. Although it is late spring, there is still a chill in the night. Not to mention these, the wind blowing in the middle of the night Lengfeng stood outside the delivery room and listened to her wails as she gave birth! She had to carefully serve her mother-in-law all the time. She was upset when she thought about it. She might as well ask for a job and sneak out and take Xinmiao over. She would definitely not be in the mood to stand outside and wait for her! She must go inside and sit there, but she can’t be entertained. My mother-in-law is worried about Mrs. Wei, can she ask me to accompany Xin Miao? I can sit there and drink tea. Wouldn’t that be much easier? " (To be continued)
