Sister-in-law Wang Lan's face darkened. She opened her mouth, raised her voice slightly, and said in a rare and somewhat angry tone:

"What nonsense are you talking about?

Today is a happy day, how can you say such unlucky words! It's really outrageous!"

However, her anger only lasted for a moment and soon subsided. She just muttered a few words in a low voice, obviously not intending to really blame the "careless" little maid.

At this moment, everyone's attention was involuntarily attracted to the fifth sister-in-law Bai Yu again.

With a scream, everyone saw that the fifth sister-in-law had a distorted face, her hands were tightly covering her stomach, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead, and she looked in great pain.

As someone who has given birth to two children, my sister-in-law naturally has more experience than others.

Seeing this, she narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched out her fingers and began to calculate quickly, then frowned and shouted in surprise:

"Oh, that's not right, Grandma!

According to the date, my fifth brother’s wife is still nearly a month away from giving birth!

What should I do? "

Seeing that the fifth sister-in-law was in unbearable pain and could hardly stand, the third sister-in-law Qin Qing, who was next to the eldest sister-in-law, was extremely anxious and had no time to pay attention to their conversation.

She hurriedly waved to the maid Xiao Cui beside her, and the two of them quickly walked forward, carefully supported the fifth sister-in-law, and slowly walked towards the wing room.

Seeing this, the second sister-in-law Ye Yurou was also extremely anxious. She hurriedly followed behind, muttering to herself:

"Maybe it's because everyone was too happy today, and the firecrackers outside were so loud that they startled the fetus, causing the miscarriage..."

Just as everyone was talking about it, someone suddenly exclaimed.

It turned out that people found a large pool of water flowing out from behind the fifth sister-in-law's heel.

Second sister-in-law Ye Yurou secretly cried out that it was not good. Knowing that the situation was urgent, she quickly shouted:

"My water's broken! My water's broken! Hurry up and get the midwife!"

Immediately afterwards, the servants in the mansion became flustered.

Housekeeper Lu looked hurried as he led several servants out of the mansion gate like a gust of wind to look for a midwife in the city.

The old women and maids who stayed in the mansion were busy preparing all the necessary items.

Some of them were looking for clean strips of cloth in a hurry; others were busy boiling water.

At the same time, all the members of the Shen family anxiously surrounded the room where Bai Yu lived, and everyone's face showed anxiety and worry.

Finally, half an hour later, a hurried sound of footsteps came from afar. It was Butler Lu who came back in a hurry with the midwife.

The midwife was holding an old but neat cloth bag in her hand. She simply bowed to the distinguished guests and then trotted into the side room.

After seeing the midwife enter the room, Housekeeper Lu finally breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to wipe away the fine beads of sweat that kept oozing from his forehead, walked quickly to the grandmother and said respectfully:

"Old Madam, you don't know that it's really not easy to find a midwife during the New Year!

I went through a lot of trouble, running all over the streets and alleys, and finally invited this experienced midwife to come over!"

Grandma's expression relaxed a little after hearing this. She nodded and said:

"Butler Lu, you have done a great job this time. Thank you for your hard work.

When the fifth child is able to give birth to a child smoothly, I will definitely reward the midwife well and never treat her unfairly."

After saying this, my grandmother looked at the closed door of the wing room with anticipation in her eyes, silently praying in her heart that everything would be safe and smooth.

And standing next to the grandmother was Shen Qingge.

It was rare that she didn't rush into the house immediately, but chose to wait outside the room.

Because the situation was special this time, she had no experience in giving birth and no experience in delivering babies, so going in would only cause trouble.

In comparison, the sisters-in-law who are busy running around are more suitable.

And when it comes to her fifth sister-in-law who is about to give birth, she is still relieved.

In fact, if you think about it, my fifth sister-in-law was not really premature.

Although the delivery date was a little earlier than expected, judging from the month of pregnancy, it was close to full term.

Moreover, Shen Qingge would often take the pulse of the fifth sister-in-law for diagnosis on weekdays. Every time the pulse was measured, it showed to be stable and normal, and the development of the fetus in the womb was also good.

In addition, since my fifth sister-in-law came to Lingnan, she has had a balanced diet and adequate nutrition. I think as long as she can give birth to the baby smoothly and receive careful nursing care afterwards, there shouldn't be too many problems with her physical recovery.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingge had a relaxed smile on his face. He looked quietly at the window frame of the wing room, waiting silently.

During this time, she did not forget to comfort her equally anxious grandmother, and whispered:

"Grandma, don't worry too much. As the saying goes, good fortune comes naturally. The fact that this child was born today might actually be a good omen!"

Having said that, she was still a little nervous, always listening to the sounds in the house with her ears perked up. Her hands were unconsciously clenched together, and her palms were already soaked with sweat.

As for the fifth sister-in-law in the house, since it was her first time giving birth, she was obviously at a loss in the face of this unfamiliar and painful delivery process and had no idea how to cooperate with the experienced midwife.

From time to time, a shrill roar could be heard from the room, but after a moment it would be replaced by waves of exhausted gasps.

Such erratic movements gripped the hearts of everyone inside and outside the room. Everyone held their breath, anxiously waiting for the arrival of new life.

Fortunately, the midwife who was in charge of the delivery was really an expert. She guided my sister-in-law to push in an orderly manner while comforting and encouraging her in a soft voice.

With the patient help of the midwife, the delivery process went smoothly.

After a while, the midwife inside shouted excitedly:

"Madam, if you exert more force, the baby's head will be exposed soon!"

Hearing this, everyone waiting outside the room showed joy on their faces, especially the grandmother, who was extremely excited at this moment. Her wrinkled old hands tightly held Shen Qingge's hands, and her eyes were full of eager anticipation for the upcoming birth of her great-grandson.

However, at this critical moment, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred - the fifth sister-in-law, who had been shouting continuously, suddenly became quiet without any warning after shouting a few more times, and no longer made a sound.

For a moment, there was dead silence inside and outside the room, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Before the midwife inside came out to report the situation, the perceptive Shen Qingge instantly realized that something was wrong.

Because she reacted that at this moment, not only was Fifth Sister-in-law herself motionless, but even the heartbeat of the fetus in her belly seemed to be much weaker than before.

This sudden change made Shen Qingge's heart sink, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

So, without thinking, Shen Qingge flashed and appeared in the house.

As soon as she entered the room, her eyes were attracted by the scene before her - she saw that her fifth sister-in-law's face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood, and her lips were frighteningly white, as if she would take her last breath at any time.

The most shocking thing was the pool of blood between the fifth sister-in-law's legs. The blood was so bright red that it made people gasp.

Shen Qingge's heart suddenly sank, filled with confusion.

Just now, she clearly felt that her fifth sister-in-law was fine. How could she become like this in the blink of an eye?

At this moment, even the experienced midwife was completely panicked.

She first tried to call out to her unconscious sister-in-law several times, but received no response.

Then, she raised her blood-stained hands and said in a trembling voice:

"This, this, this...what on earth is going on?

I have been delivering babies for over 30 years and have never encountered a situation like this.

Ladies, is there a doctor in your house?

Judging from the current situation, this lady may not be able to hold on any longer!"

The midwife's words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the already tense room.

In an instant, everyone in the room was in chaos.

The maids and old women were all crying loudly; several sisters-in-law were so scared that they turned pale.

They staggered and were about to rush out of the house, but happened to see Shen Qingge who had just entered the house.

The eldest and third sisters-in-law rushed over as if they had found a life-saving straw, tightly grasped Shen Qingge's wrist, and shouted anxiously:

"Little sister, please come and take a look. What happened to your fifth sister-in-law?"
