Gu Jinchu heard the conversation between his mother and Madam Jiang outside, and it seemed that there were several other sisters-in-law nearby, but he did not hear the voice of Fifth Master.

Bai Zhi knelt at the edge of the kang, picked up a piece of ginseng and asked Madam to hold it in her mouth, and whispered beside her: "I asked Jiang An to inform the Fifth Master, I believe the Fifth Master must have known it by now."

Gu Jinchu, who had never been nervous or afraid, felt a little sad at this moment.

The older midwife's face showed traces of time. She raised her skinny palms, rubbed them vigorously for a few times, then placed her palms on Gu Jinchu's belly and pressed them, frowning slightly.

The pain made Gu Jinchu unable to feel the midwife's strength or the warmth of her palms, but he could sense her nervousness at the moment.

Gu Jinchu lowered his eyes and looked at the old woman standing beside her, and asked her in a low voice: "Is there something wrong? You can just tell me directly."

The young midwife had a smiling face and comforted Gu Jinchu in a gentle voice:

"Madam, you are in good health, but having twins is more difficult than for ordinary people. You must not lose your mind and don't let your imagination run wild."

Gu Jinchu pursed his dry lips and said, "It's my mother who's pregnant outside. Tell my mother and the Duke's wife what you said to me. Don't let them worry!"

Thinking of what Mrs. Qin had just told them, the two of them nodded hurriedly.

At this time, Bai Shao came in with a medicine for inducing labor.

Baizhi carefully helped the lady up. Seeing this, Baihe quickly placed a soft pillow behind the lady.

Gu Jinchu rested her elbows on the kang and touched the brocade quilt with her palm. The clean and refreshing feeling told her that her water had not broken!

The labor-inducing soup soon took effect. Gu Jinchu only felt the feeling of his lower abdomen falling, which became more obvious than any previous time.

The pain of being torn apart came suddenly and without warning. It was like the abdomen being hit by a gravity hammer, sharp and strong.

Gu Jinchu bit his lower lip and groaned.

The young midwife knelt at Gu Jinchu's feet, with a smile of joy on her face, and her voice unconsciously became louder:

"Ma'am, please push when your stomach hurts later! I've seen the baby!"

After the intense pain, Gu Jinchu's sweaty palms tightly grasped the quilt under him. He gasped hard, and a buzzing sound began to come from his ears.

The words spoken by the maid and the midwife beside me seemed to come from far away.

The young midwife stood up from the edge of the kang, stood in front of the partition door and said to Madam Jiang and Madam Qin outside:

"It's open...it's open! Ladies, just relax and wait for the babies to be held."

After hearing what the midwife said, Zheng Mudan craned her neck to look behind the partition, and her worry did not diminish at all.

Madam Jiang had no time to comfort her mother-in-law at the moment, and kept looking at the main door of the wing room.

It’s already this late, why hasn’t Xiaowu come back yet!

After coming out of the Dali Temple, Mr. Jiang Wu chose to go straight onto the official road from Donggu Lane, which is the shortest route back to Gu'an.

When passing by Mingxiang Pavilion, he heard a voice calling him from above his head.

"Jiang Xiaowu, why didn't I see you at the wedding banquet just now! Come over and have a couple of drinks?" The person who called out was Zhou Boyan, who was lying behind the window on the second floor, looking at Master Jiang Wu with a smile.

In the entire Shengjing City, only the loyal and brave marquis, who grew up with Master Jiang Wu and did not care about trivial matters, dared to joke with him like this.

Master Jiang Wu turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhou Boyan. He gently clamped his legs under the horse's belly, and the horse under him kept moving forward without delaying for a moment.

Zhou Boyan didn't feel embarrassed, and held the teacup to his mouth: "It's not his nature to be so impatient."

"The last time Master Jiang Wu rode his horse wildly, it was soon reported that Madam Jiang Wu was pregnant. Calculating the date, I'm afraid that Madam Jiang Wu is about to give birth."

Zhou Boyan put away the smile on his face, turned around and looked in the direction of the voice.

Not far away, Chen Zhengde was leaning against the window, just like he had just done, quietly watching Jiang Nansheng's gradually disappearing back.

Zhou Boyan curled his lips and said, "Mr. Chen San knows everything about Jiang Wu."

Chen Zhengde had a faint smile on his square face. Ever since he entered the cabinet, his fortitude had become slightly more elegant.

He raised the teacup in his hand and nodded slightly to Zhou Boyan, "We have known each other since childhood, so we have a bond that no one else can compare to."

Zhou Boyan put down the teacup in his hand. He was not the fifth son of the Jiang family, and his happiness could not be seen on his face.

He sneered, "Chen San, you are about five or six years older than Jiang Wu and I, right? Besides, if we are talking about seniority, you should address us with respect."

Chen Zhengde smiled: "But how did I offend Lord Zhou? Why not ask Lord Zhou to taste the special food from Ningyuan City to make amends to him..."

Master Jiang Wu knew nothing about what happened in Mingxiang Pavilion. When his horse ran onto the official road, he saw the carriage of Duke Dingguo's Mansion in front of him.

He squeezed the horse's belly and caught up with it in one breath.

Wu Zizhen looked at Master Wu Jiang outside the car window and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Duke Dingguo's Mansion is not far away. Master Wu, you go back first, and I will be there soon."

He still remembered the bumpy and embarrassing memory of being pulled onto the horse by the Jiang family guards last time. His old bones could not bear it.

But he didn't expect that the carriage under him would move very fast immediately.

When she heard the servant say that the Fifth Master had returned, Old Madam Jiang, who was sitting on the bed, opened her eyes and stood up with the help of Liu.

When the youngest son stepped into the door, he stretched out his hand and quickly greeted him.

"Xiaowu, your wife is about to give birth..."

With her youngest son back, Mrs. Jiang felt relieved.

Fortunately, when the daughter-in-law had the attack, her father-in-law's wife was by her side.

Today is Yongle's wedding, and there is not even a master in the mansion who can take charge of things. During this period of time, she felt anxious and guilty.

Now that Xiaowu is back, she finally breathes a sigh of relief, and she suddenly feels extremely tired.

When Uncle Jiang Wu saw his mother-in-law, he nodded and greeted her, then helped his mother to sit back on the bed.

He asked about Jinchu's condition in detail. When he heard the midwife say that Jinchu's water had not broken and the fetus was in an abnormal position, Jiang Wuye's elegant face was stained with pain.

What he feared finally happened.
