Chapter 335: The Childbirth, a Choice Between Fame and Life

The midwife’s shout shocked all people, but soon they felt joyful.

As the amniotic fluid came out, it meant that they could deliver the baby for Dong Hui.

Shen Luo didn’t have time to say more. Then he subconsciously ran to the delivery room.

When he came to the door, he was stopped by Shi Baoning.

Shi Baoning glared at him in shock and fear. “What are you doing?”

Shen Luo was stopped without reason, and he also glared at Shi Baoning, thinking that this woman was so stupid. “Of course, I will deliver the baby for your mother. Why do you stop me here?”

Even though Shen Luo said that, Shi Baoning still stood at the door and refused to let him in. “All the midwives are inside. You are a man and can’t come in.”

Although the men and women were free to talk with each other in this country, only the midwives could deliver a baby, and they were women. The male doctors could only wait outside the room and were forbidden to enter the delivery room.

The doctors couldn’t see a woman’s body in the name of treating a patient and ruin her fame.

Of course, this was a rule of the noble families, and the ordinary families didn’t pay attention to so much.

It was dangerous to give birth to a baby, and it was a matter of life and death. It was fine to keep alive, so who would care about so much?

Therefore, Shen Luo didn’t consider this matter. Now he was stopped by Shi Baoning, so he could do nothing but look back at Shi Qingxue and Mo Junyang in despair.

It was not that he was unwilling to save her mother.

However, there was a brainless and stubborn woman in her family, who couldn’t be persuaded.

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

In the beginning, she didn’t think of this matter.

Giving birth to a baby was different from suffering from a disease, and the doctor couldn’t treat the patient by putting his fingers on her wrist to check the pulse. The woman had to be naked and let a stranger see the lower part of her body.

This…

No matter how bold and reckless Shi Qingxue was, she didn’t dare to make a decision on this matter. If she couldn’t deal with it properly, Dong Hui’s fame might be ruined.

Shi Qingxue didn’t care about something like this, but she didn’t dare to ensure that Dong Hui wouldn’t care.

She had to turn to Shi Junhe for help. Only he had the final say.

Shi Junhe pursed his lips. Obviously, he was struggling and could hardly make a decision.

No man could bear to let another man see his wife’s body, even though it was a doctor.

Nevertheless, the situation was special now. If Shen Luo didn’t stay with Dong Hui, she might die with the baby.

Shi Junhe gritted his teeth and his voice was from the crack between them. “Let Doctor Shen in. Do as he orders.”

“Father!” Shi Baoning shouted anxiously. “No! You can’t let him in.”

Shi Baoning knew well about her mother. Dong Hui loved Shi Junhe so much and wouldn’t be willing to let another man see her body.

Shi Junhe looked serious and shook his head to Shi Baoning. “I know it, but nothing is more important than your mother’s life.”

He bowed to Shen Luo solemnly and begged, “Sir, Hui’s life depends on you. Please save her no matter what happens.”

Shen Luo nodded and entered the delivery room.

In no time, Dong Hui’s grieved screeches came from the delivery room, and there were the midwives’ voices to comfort her at the same time. All the voices were mixed and messy.

The people waiting outside were anxious like the ants on a hot pan. Shi Junhe wished to rush in immediately, yet he didn’t know medical skills. Even if he entered the room, he could do nothing, so he had to wait worriedly.

Shi Qingxue craned her neck to look at the delivery room in a flutter and trembled unconsciously. Tears fell from her eyes again, but she couldn’t feel it.

Mo Junyang couldn’t bear to see that. He walked forward and grabbed her hand.

“What should I do? What should I do…” Shi Qingxue murmured and felt scared to death.

When she was so panicked last time, she lost her father. Would she lose her mother this time?

No. She couldn’t accept such an ending.

She finally wiped out the evil people at home with a lot of effort and made Duke Shi’s mansion at peace. How could she face such a tragedy?

“It’s fine. Qingxue, don’t worry. Shen Luo is here and he will save your mother.” Mo Junyang could do nothing except comforting her softly.

However, he didn’t want Shi Qingxue to be absorbed in sorrow. After pondering for a moment, he continued, “Have you thought about why your mother was poisoned?”

This voice was neither loud nor low but came into everybody’s ears.

The people full of anxiety were stunned and looked at Mo Junyang.

Seeing that Shi Qingxue was finally distracted, Mo Junyang heaved a sigh of relief and said to give methodical and patient guidance, “Duke Shi’s wife is pregnant and her food, clothes and all necessities were prepared by specially-assigned people. Logically, she shouldn’t have been poisoned, if she didn’t eat some food or touch anything that she shouldn’t.”

As soon as he finished his words, all people turned to Mammy Zheng, who took care of Dong Hui in daily life all the time.

If there was something wrong, Mammy Zheng must have something to do with it.

Obviously Mammy Zheng also realized this matter. Her legs trembled, and she knelt on the floor, shouting in panic, “No, it’s not me. I didn’t…”

“Zheng was brought by Hui from her parents’ family, and she is trustworthy.” Shi Junhe wasn’t blinded by his feelings but analyzed sanely.

Although he also doubted Mammy Zheng, she had no reason to do that.

The slavery indentures of all the members in Mammy Zheng’s family were in Dong Hui’s hands. If Dong Hui was harmed, Mammy Zheng wouldn’t be benefited.

Who would do such a hard yet thankless job?

“Right.” Shi Qingxue also thought of this point, while she realized something soon. “But even if Mammy Zheng didn’t put the poison, she stayed with Mother all day long and never left her. If Mother ate something suspicious, Mammy Zheng might have noticed, right?”

As long as they found the person who put the poison, perhaps they could find the antidote to save Dong Hui.

Mammy Zheng was pressed on the floor by the guards and being interrogated. She looked flurried with tears on her face and shook her head while begging for mercy. She said repeatedly, “It’s not me. I don’t know anything…”

Suddenly, she stopped speaking abruptly like a duck whose neck was pinched.

Mammy Zheng showed a strange expression and looked up at Shi Junhe. She wanted to say something but stopped herself.

“What did you think of?” Mo Junyang asked in a cold voice.

Shi Junhe also got impatient and rebuked, “If you don’t say it, I will flog you to death with sticks.”

Duke Shi was always gentle and cared about the servants, yet his wife was lying in the room. If he could save Dong Hui’s life, he wouldn’t mind making blood flow like streams here.

Mammy Zheng knew that Shi Junhe would do that, so she answered hurriedly, “It’s…the Princess Royal.”

All people were stunned.

Mammy Zheng continued, “The Princess Royal told Madam to go to the Shou’an Hall the other day and said that she wanted to ask about her future grandson’s situation. What’s more, she told Madam to stay in the Shou’an Hall and eat some tonics.”

Shi Junhe frowned seriously. “Why didn’t I know this thing?”

“My Lord, you went to work that day. Madam thought that this was no big deal and she didn’t want to disturb you, so she didn’t say anything,” Mammy Zheng trembled and explained.

She wanted to say more, but seeing that all people looked solemn and seemed to make a significant choice, without paying attention to her, so she didn’t speak. She curled up aside obediently, like an inconspicuous quail.

“Father!” Shi Qingxue said first, with anger restrained in her voice.

However, Shi Junhe raised his hand and stopped Qingxue in advance, saying in a deep voice, “Now, your mother’s life is the most important. Talk about anything else after she is safe.

“Don’t worry. I won’t let your mother suffer from injustice.”

Shi Qingxue heard his promise and had to swallow the discontent and indignation, but she couldn’t calm down anyway.

At this time, there was a loud shriek from the room suddenly, and next second, it returned quiet.

There was no sound in the room for a moment.

The people outside held their breaths and looked at the room nervously, afraid that there was something wrong.

Then the door of the delivery room was opened.

Somebody shouted joyfully in a sharp and loud voice, “She has given birth to a baby. Both the mother and son are safe and sound.”

These words were like sounds of nature and made all people stop worrying.

Shi Junhe ran into the delivery room first, while a midwife stopped him and advised in a low voice, “Duke, the smell of blood is strong in the delivery room, and it is unlucky.”

“Step aside.” Shi Junhe didn’t care about so much. He pushed the midwife away and rushed to Dong Hui.

Dong Hui’s face was pale and bloodless after she gave birth to the baby, yet she was conscious. Especially as soon as she saw Shi Junhe, her eyes lit up.

She put her hands on the bed and tried to sit up, but Shi Junhe quickly walked forward and supported her, rebuking in a low voice involuntarily, “You are still weak now. Why do you get up?”

Dong Hui smiled feebly and rested her head on Shi Junhe’s shoulder in a good mood.

After experiencing the life-and-death struggle, she thought that even Shi Junhe’s rebuke was pleasant to hear and desired.

After a while, Dong Hui regained some strength.

Then she got nervous suddenly. “Baby. How is my baby? Where is my baby?”

She wanted to get up from the bed anxiously, but as soon as she stood, she fell on the bed weakly.

Shi Junhe hugged her and reproached in a hurry, “Don’t move. You haven’t recovered.”

He was afraid that Dong Hui would be worried, so he added softly, “The midwife holds the baby. He is fine. There is nothing wrong. Don’t worry.”

Dong Hui finally heaved a sigh of relief, yet she was uneasy as she didn’t see the baby. She couldn’t help but demand, “Bring my baby to me. Let me see him. I want to see him.”

Shi Junhe waved at the midwife as Dong Hui said and gestured for her to come over.

However, nobody knew what was wrong with this midwife. She held the baby covered with red swaddling clothes and stood in a corner sneakily. She didn’t move after seeing Shi Junhe’s gesture but looked hesitant.

Shi Junhe frowned and rebuked with displeasure, “Why are you standing there? Madam wants to see the little heir. Bring him to us quickly.”

When Shi Junhe was outside and heard that Dong Hui gave birth to a son this time, he had decided to give his title of nobility to this baby.

In order to make Dong Hui happy, he intentionally called the baby little heir.

Dong Hui’s eyes were brighter as expected.

She seemed to regain strength at once and became soft and quiet when she looked at the baby in the midwife’s arms.

“Bring him to me and let me see him.”

This was her and Shi Junhe’s son.

It was great. She finally had a son.

Since the masters said that, the midwife had to bite the bullet and walk to them with the baby in her hands. She still advised worriedly, “Madam, you are still weak. Just let me hold the baby.”

Dong Hui held her babies as soon as she gave birth when she did that for twice, and it was a son this time, so she wanted to hold him in person. How would she agree?

Before the baby was given to her, Dong Hui reached out her hands to hug him.

When she touched the swaddling clothes, she couldn’t wait to see her son.

“Ah!”

There was another panicky shriek in the delivery room.
