Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

Her father and mother fled away. Jiang Yuzhu thought it was for safety reasons and had no idea what her father Jiang Fulu was thinking.

When she heard that the arrangements in the capital were secure, most of her worries dissipated.

It was getting late, and Xie Zhao hadn't had his dinner yet.

Hongjin ran errands and went to the kitchen to bring two bowls of shredded chicken noodles. The soup base was made from old hens and pork ribs, which was fragrant and nourishing.

Jiang Yuzhu took a spoonful and tasted it, nodded frequently and said: "We have rescued Aunt Lanhua. We have found a treasure. Her cooking skills are not inferior to those of the master chefs in the restaurants in the capital."

Lanhua has a pair of skillful hands, is quick at work and straightforward. Jiang Yuzhu plans to take the person away when he leaves the border town.

"Hong Jin, go and talk to Aunt Lanhua. She is one month old. She has been resting in the room for the past few days and is waiting for the birth."

Not all the snow from the house has been transported out yet, and the road is too slippery. The one-month-old woman has an unstable center of gravity and is not suitable for heavy work.

As if in agreement with what Jiang Yuzhu said, as soon as she finished her instructions, Red Carp came running to report: "Madam, Aunt Lanhua fell down and is going to give birth!"

Jiang Yuzhu put down the bowl and chopsticks, stood up quickly and asked, "Have you invited Mrs. Wen?"

Wen Po was supposed to be invited into the house earlier, but it happened to catch up with a heavy snowstorm and the roads in the border town were paralyzed.

Aunt Lanhua started suddenly. Several maids had no experience and only knew how to boil hot water.

Hong Li's breath was stagnant and he said uncertainly: "Two days ago, I was chatting with the woman in the neighboring house and learned that she had delivered more than a dozen babies. How about I go and invite them?"

"Hong Li, go and invite someone. Hong Jin will come with me to see Aunt Lanhua."

When Jiang Yuzhu arrived in the room, Huang Xiaomei was taking blood out, and Aunt Lanhua looked pale and depressed.

Ningdong followed her mother closely, her little face full of worry.

"Madam, why are you here? The delivery room is unlucky."

Lanhua ignored the pain and struggled to get up, but was pushed down by Jiang Yuzhu.

In this era, when a woman is pregnant, seeing blood in the delivery room is bad luck. If there is no so-called bad luck, how can a woman reproduce?

"Aunt Lanhua, just lie down and don't move."

Jiang Yuzhu turned around and called Hongxiu and said, "There are old ginseng in the warehouse. You can bring it to the kitchen to cook a pot of ginseng soup."

"Ma'am, you must not!"

At this time, Aunt Lanhua's expression changed, and she was so anxious that sweat appeared on her forehead.

The old ginseng in the warehouse is at least a hundred years old and can save people's lives at critical moments. How can she, a servant, use such a valuable thing?

"You will never be able to repay the great kindness you have shown me in your next life!"

Lan Hua was anxious, her eyes turned red, and she stopped firmly, "My slave was born in Ningdong, and the fetus was not in the correct position and it was difficult to give birth. I gave birth for a day and a night, but I survived."

When her husband's family found out that what was in her stomach was a girl, their attitude changed 180 degrees, and they didn't even eat an egg during the confinement period.

Compared to the past, Lan Hua was extremely satisfied. Now she just wanted to stay with Madam and serve her for the rest of her life.

"If you can't pay it back in the next life, then you can pay it back in the next life, and let me take advantage of it, madam. I happen to like eating the food cooked by Aunt Lanhua."

Jiang Yuzhu comforted Aunt Lanhua, and after a while, the red carp came back, with no one behind her.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu lowered her face and asked, "Where are you talking about the woman who has experience in delivering babies?"

"Madam, no one is here."

Hong Li lowered his head and looked extremely ashamed. After a long while, he stuttered and said, "My slave went to knock on the door to find someone. When the woman heard that she was looking for a delivery, she was so frightened that she immediately changed her story and said that she had never delivered a baby before. He was bragging to his slaves."

"You may say whatever you want, but that bitch won't let go."

Hong Li could see that the people in the house next door were timid and extremely selfish. If they didn't give him some clues, they might not be willing to give in easily.

Hongxiu had already taken the old ginseng, and seeing Hongli talking non-stop, he glared at her and said, "Hongli, what's the matter with you? If that woman doesn't come, you won't bring someone to arrest her." Come?"

The master and servants dared to act recklessly and tyrannically in the capital city, but why did they give up in the border towns?

Regardless of whether the mother-in-law is willing or not, the family needs a stable mother-in-law with experience in delivering babies to help.

"What kind of status does our wife have that we need to reason with a mother-in-law?"

Hongxiu said and hurried to the kitchen.

Hong Li was startled when he was prompted, and then he reacted and said, "This slave is mistaken."

If it's easy to talk and discuss, then tie the person up. Her wife's order does not require discussion with others.

Red Carp stamped his feet and led the guards in the house to look for trouble aggressively. This time he was not so polite.

Here, Yan Lin received the news, wearing a black mask, being supported by the servant Xiao Wu, and groping forward one step at a time.

Jiang Yuzhu saw this formation and took the initiative to help.

Xiao Wu explained unnaturally: "Mrs. Xie, my young master has no symptoms of illness. I was worried that no one would see him if he fainted, so I had to take this last step."

It's freezing and snowy outside. It's not easy to get out of the house. Where can I ask for a doctor?

When he just came over, Yan Lin's vision went dark when he saw the blood. He relied on his quick eyes and quick hands to put on the mask and didn't faint.

"Aunt Lanhua is showing signs of dystocia and needs to hire an experienced midwife."

Yan Lin felt the pulse and found that the fetal pulse was weak. If the delay was too long, there was a risk of one or two lives.

During the conversation, Hong Li was in front, followed by three timid women.

"Madam, these three women all have experience in delivering babies."

Hong Li pushed the woman in the house next door, who woke up from a dream and hurried to check the condition of the orchids.

The orchid fetus is in an abnormal position, and the first thing to be exposed is the fetus's little feet. If the fetus is pulled out forcefully and the arms are opened upward to create resistance, it will definitely cause dystocia.

For now, we have to push the fetus back first, and then find a way to correct the fetal position.

"As for whether the production can go smoothly..."

The three women looked at each other and finally shook their heads, it was all about fate.

When a woman gives birth, she is going through hell, and she will inevitably suffer some punishment.

After struggling for several hours, until late at night, although the fetal position was correct, the fetal condition was not good.

"Harder, breathe in!"

The experienced mother-in-law guided Lanhua. After drinking ginseng soup, Lanhua regained her strength. When the fetus was about to show its head, it was stuck because the head was too big.

Basins of blood and water were brought out one after another. Yan Lin just took off his mask, and his eyes went dark when he saw the blood. He fell into the snow with a plop, and the courtyard became even more chaotic.

"Aunt Lanhua, please work harder."

Jiang Yuzhu was in the room and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Thank you, Madam, there is no need to delay!"

Several mothers-in-law looked at the fetus and their faces turned purple. If they could not give birth as soon as possible, the baby would definitely be suffocated to death.

"Madam, if this slave has any shortcomings, let Ningdong follow you all the time."

In the winter, Lan Hua's body was already wet with sweat. She felt a little energetic at first and hurriedly gave her last words, but then she fainted from exhaustion.

If you wait any longer, you will lose one body and two lives, and you can't wait even a quarter of an hour.

Jiang Yuzhu casually wiped the sweat from her forehead, calmed herself down, and said to Hong Jin behind her: "Go and get the scissors!"
