Chapter 25: Rush
hum!
Protect the big one or the small one?
Xiaoman, who was eavesdropping outside the yard, suddenly looked at the delivery room with a complicated expression.
He gritted his teeth and ran back quickly to report the news to Shen Wei.
Xie Yuchuan stood there in shock. As a man, he subconsciously asked what was in his mind: "Do you know the gender of the baby in my aunt's belly? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know yet." The midwife urged anxiously, "My Lord, you have to make a decision."
"In one stick of incense, both my aunt and the child will die."
Aunt Zhao would bleed to death during childbirth.
And the child will suffocate to death.
It's impossible to have the best of both worlds.
In this world, is there anything that can get you the best of both worlds?
"Save the child!" Xie Yuchuan pursed his lips tightly and hesitated for just a few seconds before deciding a person's life or death.
Qin Shuyu, who was standing nearby, raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at the tall and majestic figure next to her from a distance of several meters... She didn't know how to describe her feelings when she heard the words "protect Xiao".
But, but she knew, this was normal.
Everyone will protect their children.
How much is the life of a mere concubine worth in such a wealthy and powerful family?
Maybe... maybe if a difficult childbirth happened to me, the people in the Marquis' Mansion would still choose to save the baby.
"Save the little one! The Marquis said, save the little one!"
"Hurry, prepare to deliver the baby."
"........"
"Ah!!" Aunt Zhao in the delivery room screamed in exhaustion when she heard the sound outside the door.
I had already anticipated the answer, but I still felt a suffocating pain in my heart.
She clutched the bed sheets tightly, her lips were pale and her facial features were distorted in excessive pain.
Whoosh.
It was as if some light in his eyes had gone out.
Aunt Zhao already had no strength to give birth, and now when she heard Xie Yuchuan's words "Bao Xiao", she felt cold all over, and her eyes became dull and sluggish: "My Lord..."
"Bao Xiaohao, my child, I just hope my child can survive."
"Lord, Madam, please...please bless my son to grow up, please..."
Aunt Zhao closed her eyes and two tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
But she really doesn't want to die.
She also wanted to see her child, wanted to hear her child call her mother... She wanted to live a good life...
"Child, the road ahead depends on you..." Aunt Zhao lay exhausted on the delivery bed, watching basins of blood being carried out. She looked toward the side courtyard with heavy curtains outside the window.
My head is getting more and more dizzy, and my consciousness is starting to blur...
She moved her dry and pale lips and uttered the words that she had not said many times: Shen Wei.
Last time I framed you for pushing me.
I'm sorry.
"Quick! Bring the scissors here and cut this place."
"Can't you give birth? This is too painful."
"It's too late. If we delay any longer, the child will suffocate to death inside! Just cut it open! Aunt Zhao will die anyway."
Aunt Zhao could vaguely see...the midwife took out a pair of sharp scissors.
Then he lifted the quilt.
It seemed as if he was about to cut open his own lower body.
that moment.
Aunt Zhao felt an unprecedented fear.
No one had ever told her that childbirth was so prone to difficulty, so painful, and so easy to cause death. No one had ever taught her how to keep a baby.
It turns out that to protect the baby is to tear the uterus open, cut it open, and take the baby directly out of the belly.
turn out to be.......
This is the fate of mothers who die during childbirth in this era.
Aunt Zhao was trembling and cold all over. She faced this ending with fear, terror, confusion and powerlessness. She didn't know how painful it would be next.
But this was normal, she thought.
All women are the same, she should accept it calmly.
Of course—
"Bang!" a loud sound was heard.
The delivery room was kicked open.
After several maids reacted, they all rushed forward and grabbed Shen Wei who was trying to rush into the delivery room.
"Can't protect the little one!"
"Xie Yuchuan, if you can't protect Xiao, protect Aunt Zhao. Let Aunt Zhao survive."
Shen Wei's eyes turned red as she shouted at Xie Yuchuan. Then she looked at Qin Shuyu who had been silent the whole time and said from the bottom of her heart, "Miss Qin, ask the midwife inside to protect Da and Aunt Zhao."
"You are the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, you have the right to decide, protect Aunt Zhao!"
"I..." Qin Shuyu's heart tightened and he turned to look at Xie Yuchuan.
Xie Yuchuan was already upset and anxious.
Shen Wei came to quarrel with him again, and he had a headache. But the person in front of him was Shen Wei, whom he loved very much, and he couldn't yell at her.
He could only ask the servants to stop her, and then frowned and said earnestly: "Okay, Weiwei, stop arguing."
"Hasn't Aunt Zhao always been at odds with you? What are you doing here now?"
"Let alone the rich and powerful, even for ordinary people, offspring are more important than anything else. Aunt Zhao is just a concubine. How can her life be compared with my child?"
"What's more, it has been like this since ancient times."
"Whoever is standing here will protect Xiao. You just listen and go back!"
Shen Wei has been training his physical strength for some time.
She struggled to break free from the maid's obstruction and kicked down the old woman who was blocking her way.
Xiaoman was completely stunned when seeing this scene. Even Qin Shuyu was stunned for a moment... Shen Wei still looked weak, how come his strength suddenly became so much stronger?
"What do you mean since ancient times?"
"There is no such thing as since ancient times!"
"Xie Yuchuan, all the rules are made by people."
Shen Wei was once again tightly hugged by two or three maids. She used a disappointed look to hurt Xie Yuchuan: "The child's life is life, but Aunt Zhao's life is so worthless? Just because she is a concubine?"
"What if it's me lying in there?"
"Do you want to protect your little one too, and choose to let my lower body be torn apart and die?"
Xie Yuchuan was extremely angry.
How can this be compared?
How can Shen Wei be the same as Aunt Zhao!
He tried to reason with Shen Wei: "Weiwei, it's not like that. You can't be compared with Aunt Zhao! Come out quickly. The delivery room has a dirty and gloomy aura. Stop making trouble!"
"Stop her for me! Don't let her in!"
"Have the midwife perform an immediate laparotomy to get the baby out, and keep it small!"
Qin Shuyu looked at Xie Yuchuan deeply, and it seemed as if some filter in his heart suddenly broke.
He took another look at Shen Wei who suddenly broke free from the old woman and rushed into the delivery room.
Shen Wei grabbed the midwife's hand and snatched the scissors away.
The moment the old women rushed over, Shen Wei stood at the main entrance of the delivery room and pointed the scissors at her own neck, scaring everyone so much that they stepped back and Xie Yuchuan turned pale with fear.
This time,
She didn't look at Xie Yuchuan again.
Instead, he looked at Qin Shuyu and said only one sentence, just this one sentence!
She just wanted to try her best this time and help this time.
If the result is not what she wants, then forget it.
From now on, Shen Wei would only protect herself and would never be soft-hearted towards the women here. She hated the feeling of being helpless without help from all sides: "Qin Shuyu, protect Aunt Zhao!"
