On a night in mid-February,
Xia Lu had just fallen asleep not long ago.
Suddenly, she felt a pain in her stomach. She woke up and touched her lower body.
She found that it was wet.
She glanced at the Jia Zhen, who was sleeping beside her.
She pushed him gently.
"Wake up."
"What's Wrong? Are you going to wake up at night? "The Jia Zhen was in a daze. The older she was,
The more Xia Lu woke up at night.
The Jia Zhen, who had been sleeping soundly, was now extremely alert. As long as Xia Lu moved, he would wake up.
Xia Lu felt sorry for him and asked him to sleep on the couch. The Jia Zhen slept for two nights.
In the end, he couldn't sleep the whole night.
His expression became even worse.
After Xia Lu asked, he understood that his mother-in-law had passed away.
It had traumatized the Jia Zhen.
The Jia Zhen was afraid.
He was afraid that he hadn't taken good care of her.
Something had happened to Xia Lu.
Although Xia Lu woke up frequently at night, the Jia Zhen felt more at ease. Xia Lu let him be.
"No, I, I might be in labor. Call them over." Xia Lu endured the pain in his stomach and thought to himself, No wonder they said that strict parents were kind. They had paid such a huge price and endured so much pain to give birth to a child. How could they not feel sorry for him? At this time, Xia Lu still had the time to think about other things, but the Jia Zhen beside him was extremely anxious.
"She, she's giving birth?" The Jia Zhen fell off the bed and quickly got up. His entire body was trembling. He stamped his feet helplessly. His mind was blank. At this time, he didn't know what to do.
Xia Lu came back to his senses. When he saw the Jia Zhen's state, he smiled and said, "Hurry up and call the girl."
"Oh... oh..." The Jia Zhen quickly ran out.
Not long after, Xiao Fei and the others came in. After being trained by Xia Lu for so long, she was still calm. "Quick, let's help Madam to the delivery room. Bi Yun, go and inform the kitchen to boil some water. Xiao Cui, go and get the midwife," Xiao Fei instructed in an orderly manner.
"I, I, I'll carry him." Jia Zhen quickly came over and carried Xia Lu from the bed. At this time, his whole body was tense and he was in a very bad state.
At this time, Xia Lu's stomach was very painful, and he had no time to comfort Jia Zhen. Everyone in the Sakura Temple was busy, and no one noticed that Xiao Cui's condition was not right.
The delivery room and the midwife were all prepared early in the morning, and the midwife soon arrived.
After the midwife arrived, the Jia Zhen was chased out. When he left, he told the midwife that he must ensure the safety of the mother and child.
Seeing the Jia Zhen's hesitation and unwilling to leave, the midwives shook their heads and looked at Xia Lu, who was in great pain, and said, "Madam is really lucky." The midwives had delivered to many rich families, but none of them were like this, where the Husband was so worried about his wife. Thinking about the families they had delivered, when the Madam was giving birth, the husband was still in the concubine's room, but he was not willing to come and take a look. When he came to take a look the next day, when he found out that the child was not yet born, he left again. In the end, when the child was born, he came to take a look. If it was a son, it was fine, but if it was a daughter, his attitude was very bad, unlike the masters in Ningguo Province.
Moreover, Ningguo Province's Count Jia and his wife were very loving. They had been living in Ningguo Province for two months, and they had not seen the Count go to the concubine's courtyard. As women, they were envious of this wife. She was really lucky.
"Oh, he's like this." Xia Lu forced a smile.
The midwife checked Xia Lu's body, and a smile appeared on her face. "Madam's body is very good. The cervix has opened three fingers. When the cervix opens ten fingers, it will be very fast. Madam needs to conserve her strength now."
"Okay." Xia Lu nodded. She had also read the information. In television dramas, it was taboo for women to shout during labor. After all, television dramas had to have artistic effects. If women did not shout loudly, how would people know how painful labor was? Meaningless shouting would only consume their strength, and it would only be more difficult for them to give birth.
Seeing that Xia Lu was cooperative, the midwife was satisfied. Ningguo Province was a big family, and the Madam's child was the Count's first child. Whether it was a boy or a girl, the reward would be very generous. Therefore, they had to work harder. If they fought for the safety of both mother and child, then the reward would be even more.
The Jia Zhen was guarding outside the delivery room, pacing back and forth. When she heard that there was no movement in the delivery room, she became anxious. "Xiao Fei, go in and take a look. Bi Yun, go in and take a look. What's the situation inside? Why is there no movement?"
"Yes." Bi Yun answered and ran into the delivery room.
"Young Master, the midwives we hired are all experienced in the capital. Madam will be fine. You should take a seat first," Xiao Cui said.
The Jia Zhen ignored Xiao Cui and stared at the delivery room wholeheartedly, afraid that bad news would come from inside.
Seeing that the Jia Zhen did not respond, Xiao Cui pursed her lips and did not say anything else. At this time, Hong Xiu, Tian Xiang, and Madam You came over.
"Sir." The three concubines greeted the Jia Zhen.
The Jia Zhen turned around and looked at the three concubines. She frowned because she was worried about Xia Lu in the delivery room, and her tone was very unpleasant. "Why are the three of you here?"
Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang felt guilty and did not dare to say anything. Madam You stepped forward and said, "We heard that Madam is about to give birth, so we came over to watch over her."
"I'm here. You can go back." Jia Zhen pursed his lips. He was very dissatisfied with the appearance of these three women. He did not forget that his violent woman had praised these three women. Each and every one of them looked sharp and mean. They were not blessed at all. Seeing them made people sick. Jia Zhen was very impolitely jealous.
Madam You pursed her lips and continued, "Sir, I am Sir's concubine after all. It is my duty to serve Madam. If we leave now, wouldn't we become arrogant because of your favor? We will stand here and not disturb you," Madam You said softly. She was in an extremely awkward situation now, so she had to do something. She knew that the other two concubines must be plotting something behind the scenes. She could not be anxious. When these two concubines gave themselves away, they would be the proof of her loyalty to Madam.
The Jia Zhen looked at the other two. He was deep in thought.
"Sir, don't worry. We will wait at the side. We will definitely not disturb you." Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang hurriedly promised.
"Then you can stand at the side." The Jia Zhen turned around and continued to look at the door of the delivery room. These three women were scourges. His wife was in the delivery room, so he had to stay here. If these three women were to cause any trouble, he would have no time to deal with them. It was better to keep them under his nose. If they wanted to scheme something, they would have to go through him first. However, his wife's suggestion to reorganize the servants had to be put on the agenda.
"Yes." The three of them were overjoyed and stood at the side.
Not long after they stood still, Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang gave Xiao Cui a look.
Xiao Cui pretended not to see it. She was very tempted by the two concubines' suggestion. She was not young anymore. She was already 20 years old. If Madam did not let her go, she would be an old woman. Xiao Fei even said that she did not want to marry and would serve Madam for the rest of her life. Xiao Cui only thought that she was stupid. When she was old in the future and could not serve Madam, Madam would definitely not use her. When that time came, who would take care of her outside of Ningguo Province? Every man for himself. She really had to make plans for herself.
Xiao Cui was able to leave Jia Zhen alone in the garden because she could not push the wheelchair herself. This showed that she was selfish in her bones. Now, it was normal for her to betray Xia Lu for herself. Therefore, she accepted the friendship between Hong Xiu and Tian Xiang. However, because there were too many people here, she could not show too much.
Madam You saw everything. She thought to herself, Sure enough, she was born in the family. Her methods were different. Now that she had bribed the people in her grandmother's house, the next step was to get something on her.
Not long after, Jia Jing also came. However, not long after, he was persuaded to go back to rest by the Jia Zhen. Jia Jing still had to go to the imperial court tomorrow. Giving birth was very time-consuming. He did not know how long it would take for the child to be born. The Jia Jing did not insist. He had been very busy recently. The disaster relief incident made him realize that some things could not be avoided by blindly retreating. Therefore, he began to go to the imperial court again. This made some people regret their past actions.
The Jia Zhen looked at the basins of bloody water that were brought out. He could not stop trembling. This reminded him of the scene when his mother gave birth to Jia Yao. Basins of bloody water were also brought out. In the end, his mother passed away.
The Jia Zhen thought to himself, No, Madam was offended. That was why she had a difficult birth. The violent woman was in good health. Both mother and child would definitely be safe. Nothing would happen to them.
The next day, at dawn, Xia Lu finally gave birth. It was a boy who weighed six catties and eight kilograms.
The Jia Zhen carried the swaddled child and quickly ran into the delivery room. At this time, the smell of blood in the delivery room had not dissipated. The Jia Zhen did not mind at all. He quickly came to Xia Lu's bedside and burst into tears.
"Why are you crying?" Xia Lu raised his hand weakly and motioned for the Jia Zhen to lower his head.
The midwives who were tidying up Xia Lu saw the Jia Zhen come in and wanted to chase him out. However, when they saw the situation, they all fell silent and quietly did their own things. The Duke and Countess were really loving.
"Don't give birth. We won't give birth in the future." The Jia Zhen felt that he would not be able to take it again. He lay beside Xia Lu's bed and cried. In the past few hours, he had thought a lot outside the delivery room. He had already lost his wife. If he lost this woman again, he would break down.
"Okay, don't give birth." Xia Lu rubbed the Jia Zhen's head and agreed. "Aren't I perfectly fine? You must be tired. Go back and rest. Take good care of our son, "Xia Lu said.
"Rest well. I will take good care of him." The Jia Zhen sensed Xia Lu's fatigue and quickly said.
"Okay, and Yao'er and the others. You should go and see them later. Don't let them worry." After being in pain for so long, Xia Lu was already exhausted. After talking for a while, he felt that his eyelids were about to close.
