Chapter 750 Unexpected Premature Birth!

Moon thought for a moment, then walked to the shed where the Li family had been staying, but they were gone too. 。She had some suspicions in her heart, but could only leave with a sullen air. 。In the...The lord actually wasn't good with children. He had never taken care of a child this young before. After holding Xingxing for a while, his arms felt stiff like stones, making Xingxing uncomfortable. She frowned and was about to wake up.

Li Laosi quickly rushed over, holding Xingxing's bottom with one hand and using his arm as a pillow for Xingxing. His posture was standard and very skilled.

Sure enough, the starlet's lips made two tiny smacking noises and she fell asleep again.

Li Laosi couldn't help but boast, "Haha, when Fu Niuer was little, I held her every day, so I'm used to it."

"Look at you, so proud of yourself just for holding a child," Li Laotai said with a smile and a reprimand.

"People who don't know better would think you did something earth-shattering!"

Everyone laughed along.

Jia Yin sat beside her adoptive father, smiling as she peeled an orange for him to eat.

The lord smiled and rubbed her hair, then took out two small boxes from his bosom.

Inside the box were two jade zodiac pendants carved with dogs, which were given to Jia Yin.

Another one carved with a galloping horse, of course, was for the Star.

Jia Yin grasped the peace pendant, overjoyed.

Though she tries to be happy about the recent birth of her nephew, seeing everyone's attention focused on him instead of her leaves a pang of sadness in her heart.

But today, her stepfather's lucky charm easily cured her.

Family members are definitely like my stepfather, they wouldn't forget about their precious little one just because she was born under a star!

The lord saw the chubby girl smiling brightly and smiled back, sharing a segment of an orange with her.

Thus, the two of them sat in the warm spring sun, listening to the laughter all around them, biting into the tangerine candies in their mouths. The sour and sweet taste, like the beautiful life before their eyes...

"Help! Old Madam, help! Our mistress tripped on the threshold, she's about to give birth!"

A heated conversation was in full swing when suddenly, Mrs. Qiong from the next door burst in, shouting "Help!" Her desperate cry shattered the peace of the Li household.

"Oh my! Quickly go find Zhang the Divine Healer!" Li Lao Tai jumped up directly and ran to the next door.

"It's not until next month, how can this be happening now" Tao Hongying exclaimed, grabbing Zhao Yuru and following after her.

Jia Yin took the star from her father's arms and sent it to Grandma He and her sister-in-law in the backyard. She gave them a few instructions and then went next door.

At this moment, Doctor Zhang had arrived and was taking Madam Wen's pulse.

The old man's brows were tightly furrowed, and Mrs. Wen's forehead was slick with cold sweat from worry, but she endured it silently.

After a long pause, Zhang Shenyi said, "I'll write out a prescription for a medication to induce labor. Get ready for the delivery right away."

"The child has already been alarmed, it must be born today otherwise the blood will flow out, the child is in danger still in the belly."

Jia Yin immediately said, "Grandfather Zhang, I'll go prepare the medicine after you write the prescription."

The divine physician Zhang nodded, scribbled a prescription in three or two strokes, and Jia Yin ran home.

Since her sister-in-law and godmother got pregnant together, she had planted a lot of related herbs in the space. They would come in handy now!

She called Shui Ling over, and together they searched for the medicine jar. She started a fire to boil the medicine, and as quickly as possible, she sent the potion to her neighbor's room.

Even, she also took out the century-old ginseng that was stored in the space.

Over the past few years, she has collected quite a number of ginseng seedlings, with varying ages.

After being nourished by the space greenhouse and with several times the difference in time, there are now a few plants that have surpassed a hundred years old.

Just in case, she specially cultivated a backup one.

My sister-in-law's childbirth went very smoothly, and I wasn't needed.

To my surprise, something unexpected happened here at Shigu's place!

When the ginseng came into Zhang Shenyi's hands, he immediately praised, "Where did this ginseng come from It's really a good thing!"

Jia Yin casually made a few perfunctory remarks, her whole heart flying into the delivery room.

Mrs. Wen has taken the medication to induce labor and has already started giving birth.

After what felt like an eternity, the midwife who had assisted Wenjuan in her previous delivery and Mr. Wen arrived almost simultaneously.

The midwife washed her hands and went into the room, and soon Mrs. Wen's cries of pain subsided.

But Mr. Wen, standing outside the window, was still so anxious that his eyes were red.

Fortunately, the midwife’s loud voice rang out in the room: “Although it came a few days early, the baby is positioned well.”

Don't worry everyone, the child will be born soon!

As expected, everyone felt relieved upon hearing this.

But that being said, premature birth is definitely not something that happens easily...

Bowl after bowl of blood was carried out, even two bowls of congee were brought in, but the child still showed no sign of being born.

Mr. Wen finally couldn't hold on and collapsed, he knelt down directly under the window.

The upright and incorruptible censor relentlessly sought out all the gods and goddesses, as well as the ancestors of the Cui family.

He also wanted to seek the protection of Wen's ancestors, but he had already "rebelled" against his family. The ancestors might not bless him, and they could even hold a grudge.

At this point, he wouldn't dare take any risks at all!

Everyone's eyes were also red, and they followed suit in paying their respects.

No one knows if this will work or not.

But at this time, even if I wanted to help, I wouldn't be able to. There's nothing else I can do.

Not until night fell and a glittering crescent moon hung in the sky did cries finally come from within the house!

Tao Hongying cradled the swaddled baby and opened the door to announce the good news.

"Congratulations to Mr. Wen, Jiner gave birth to a baby girl!"

"Good, good!" Mr. Wen seemed to be overjoyed, rushing forward in three or two steps.

Tao Hongying was just about to hand him the blanket when he bypassed her and rushed into the room, "Junior Sister, Junior Sister! How are you, are you hurt"

Everyone inside and outside the house looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

Tao Hongying patted the frail girl in her arms and joked, “My dear, your father loves your mother even more!”

"Mother, give me a hug from my little sister!" Jia Yin jumped impatiently to take the baby swaddled in cloth, but Tao Hongying didn't trust her, fearing she would drop Wen family's precious treasure.

As expected, after a short while, Mr. Wen reacted and came out looking for his daughter...

Although the baby was born safely, it was premature and a little thin.

Mrs. Wen was even more exhausted and needed to rest.

On the day of the cleansing ritual, Mr. Wen only invited close friends and family, such as the Liu family, Mr. Peng, and Master Zhou, among others.

Even when hosting a banquet at home, Mr. Wen was worried about disturbing his wife and daughter, so he borrowed the courtyard of the Li family.

Everyone found it excessive, but they also understood that he was an old man who had just gotten a daughter. They were friendly with his wife and therefore treated him with extra consideration.

At the banquet, everyone toasted and congratulated each other.

The Li family were even more envious.

Through generations, their family had hoped for a daughter. Still, there was only Fu Nuer.

Mr. Wen won the heart of the woman in one fell swoop, which made the Li family envious to the point of tears.

Mr. Wen was elated and drunk, he began to sob uncontrollably.

He has cried for so many years, enduring the pain and anguish of his unrequited love for his junior sister, the ecstasy of finally marrying her, the despair and fear of his wife giving birth prematurely the day before yesterday.

It was truly unbecoming of a man to act this way, but no one dared to ridicule him.

Life has its own burdens that are unbearable. Those who haven't experienced it won't understand...

Dr. Zhang prescribed a nourishing soup for Madam Wen, who drank it diligently to recuperate her health and hoped to "produce more grain" — in other words, give birth to more children.

Unfortunately, she was too old. It was already a blessing that she could safely give birth to a child. To have any other hopes would be greedy.

Mrs. Liu helped find many wet nurses, but the little girl of the Wen family was very picky.

None of the wet nurses satisfied her; she was so famished, she wouldn't even eat.

When Wen Juan came to visit Mrs. Wen after giving birth, she occasionally picked up the little girl and fed her once. As a result, the little girl acted as if she had found her own mother and wouldn't stop eating until she vomited...

Under duress, Mr. Wen bought a dairy goat, thinking of asking Wenjuan to feed the little one a few times during the day and him feeding the goat's milk in the evening.

The little girl, though, was extremely intelligent. She could distinguish smells better than a dog and every night she would cry at the top of her lungs.

In the end, after Wenjuan discussed it with her family, she took the little girl to the backyard and raised her together with Xingxing.ubject...Jiao Yin walked along with Mrs. Gu's personal maidservant towards the garden, casually chatting a few words. In the end, she signaled Shui Ling to hand the maidservant a purse, coaxing the wo...
