Jiang Nansheng hadn't slept all night. When he relaxed, he felt that his muscles were swollen and sore as if they had experienced high-intensity exercise.

He lifted his robe slightly, sat down on the stool next to his mother, and said softly, "Doctor Wu said it might cause a high fever, but if the temperature goes down, it will be fine."

My son has always reported good news but not bad news, so it is rare that he can speak it out. The real situation must be much more serious than what he said.

Thinking of this, Madam Jiang frowned slightly and whispered, "My mother-in-law doesn't know, right? She didn't tell Jin Chu the truth?"

Jiang Nansheng shook his head gently, and said firmly, "She will be fine!"

Madam Jiang sighed and leaned back in her chair.

Compared with Gu Jinchu's safety, the matter of his son entering the delivery room just now seemed less important.

Xiaowu values ​​his wife so much, and the two of them have such a good relationship. If something happened...

Old Madam Jiang didn't dare to think further, and for a moment, she didn't know how to comfort her son.

Jiang Nansheng said, "She just took the medicine and went to sleep, so the situation won't be that bad. I just don't want to hide it from you, so don't worry too much."

Madam Jiang leaned her elbows on the chair beside her, looked at him sideways and said, "It's good for you to be like this. If there is something, don't keep it in your heart. It may not be a bad thing to speak it out."

"If Jinchu can persist in giving birth to the two children, the three of them, mother and children, will be safe." She comforted her youngest son with a loving smile on her face.

As she spoke, Madam Jiang could not hide her tiredness. At her age, she had not slept all night, relying on the things in her heart that she could not let go to keep going.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with fatigue and worry, and the traces of time left on her face seemed to tell of the anxiety of this night.

Jiang Nansheng stood up from the stool and reached out to support Madam Jiang: "Mom, you should go back and rest first. Father must be waiting for you to have a good talk with him."

When Jinchu gave birth, her mother-in-law was in Yuanyuan Hall, and it was not convenient for her father to come over, so he asked the servants to come over from time to time to inquire about the situation.

Madam Jiang stood up with the help of her son. "When Jinchu is out of confinement, you can take us to Huguo Temple. When your wife was pregnant, I made a vow in front of the Buddha, and I will go back to fulfill it."

Patting his arm, with a look of heartache, he reminded his son: "Remember to eat something later. You haven't rested for a whole day and night. At this time, you should pay more attention to your health."

Jiang Nansheng smiled and nodded in agreement, then escorted his mother out of Yuanyuan Hall and helped her onto the oil truck waiting outside.

Only when he saw that his mother no longer looked back at him did he turn around.

……

Gu Jinchu felt as if he was in a furnace, his whole body burning with heat and discomfort.

The most uncomfortable part was her chest, which was even more painful than the pain she suffered during childbirth. It was as if two huge rocks were pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

I wanted to turn over, but only my limp hands and feet could move, and I couldn't use any strength in my waist, abdomen, and upper body.

Her eyelids were so heavy that she could only open them a crack. The curtain above her head told her that she was lying on the bed in the main room.

She tilted her head and tried to swallow, her mouth was dry and her throat was burning.

It seemed as if someone was leaning over to him. Gu Jinchu slowly closed his eyes and began to feel drowsy again.

Seeing that Jin Chu seemed half asleep, Master Jiang Wu sat beside her with a worried look on his face. He called her twice in a low voice, but got no response from her.

Looking at her cheeks that were red due to high fever, he frowned and told the maid serving beside her to go and invite Doctor Wu over.

Wu Zizhen was having breakfast when he saw Bai Zhi hurriedly walk in. Without her saying anything, he wiped his mouth, stood up, and walked out with her.

"But has Madam Five woken up?" Doctor Wu asked as he walked.

Bai Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and her voice was anxious: "Madam has a high fever again. She seems to be awake but not awake. The fifth master called her twice but she didn't respond."

As they were talking, the two men came to the door of the main room.

After Doctor Wu entered the room, Fifth Master Jiang made room for Gu Jinchu. His usually gentle and elegant face was now filled with seriousness.

After taking the patient's pulse, Doctor Wu wrote out a prescription and asked someone to get the medicine.

He turned to look at Master Jiang Wu and said to him, "Although Madam Wu's high fever is dangerous, she will be through it once the temperature goes down."

Master Jiang Wu's expression did not change. He nodded slightly and spoke in a low voice with a slightly rough and sharp feeling:

"I'd like to trouble Doctor Wu to stay at your house for a while. Only when Jin Chu is fine can I let you leave without any worries."

Only Master Wu Jiang could describe the act of detaining someone in his mansion in such a graceful manner.

Wu Zizhen understood very well, nodded and said: "My father had a friendship with the Duke when he was alive, and I have also drunk a lot of the good wine of the old master of the Zheng family. Regardless of the relationship, I will stay here to take care of the Fifth Madam until she is safe."

Master Jiang Wu stood up and bowed solemnly to Doctor Wu. His attitude was humble and sincere, and he was extremely polite and considerate.

As a doctor, Wu Zizhen naturally did not have so many taboos. He said to Master Jiang Wu very seriously: "Madam Wu's high fever this time is largely due to postpartum milk swelling."

Gu Jinchu just felt better and was about to open his eyes, but when he heard what Doctor Wu said, his lightly closed eyelids tightened.

Not only did she hear the voices of Master Wu and Doctor Wu, she also seemed to hear the crying of children, which made her chest feel even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Master Jiang Wu had some experience and could understand what Doctor Wu meant. He glanced at Jin Chu on the bed, signaled Doctor Wu, and the two of them left the bed.

He stood by the partition and talked for a while before bowing and seeing Doctor Wu off.

Gu Jinchu pursed his dry lips and opened his eyes when he seemed to hear no sound in his ears.

After knowing that she was pregnant with twins, Master Jiang Wu ordered someone to make a baby rocking cradle that was twice as big as the one in the previous example, which was now placed not far from the platform of the crib.

There was no child inside, but she clearly heard crying just now.

Gu Jinchu propped herself up on her elbows, but before she could stand up she lay back down. Her chest ached so much that she couldn't help but shudder in her feverish body.

"You can't get up now." Uncle Jiang Wu came over, his tone tense and concerned.

He didn't look surprised at her waking up.

Gu Jinchu raised his eyes and looked at him, "Where are the children?"

Master Jiang Wu helped her lie down, then pressed the quilt against her side and whispered, "They slept with the wet nurses last night. They will be sent over when they wake up and have eaten their fill."

Only then did Gu Jinchu realize that it was just getting light outside the window. She had actually slept for a whole day and night!

Looking at Master Jiang Wu's red eyes, he asked again, "Master Wu, didn't you get any rest last night?"

"Jinchu, are you hungry?"

Their voices questioning each other sounded at the same time.

Master Jiang Wu smiled, his eyes full of tenderness: "I closed my eyes for a while when the children were brought to the nanny." He continued to ask her: "Jinchu, are you hungry?"

Gu Jinchu opened his mouth, somewhat avoiding his gaze, and said weakly: "I feel a little uncomfortable now... I am unable to breathe..."
