The Virgin Mary in the Book: I Decide My Life with Two Swords

Cangyue Kingdom Langya Pavilion

The sun climbed up from the horizon, and in the courtyard of the Immortal Peak, Su Su's screams continued.

Doctor Kou came out of the main room and said, "Master, it's almost done. I just took your pulse. It's fine. Don't worry."

"But the baby has been born for half the night, almost four hours!" Jiuyou said anxiously.

"Young man, the person who suffers the most when a life comes into this world is its mother!" said Dr. Kou.

"Pavilion Master" Yue Chi and Ji Ruochen also arrived. Yue Chi asked, "I heard that Doctor Kou was called away in the middle of the night, so I knew the birth was coming. How is it going?"

"It's been four hours, and he still hasn't come out." Mo Yufeng was getting anxious.

"I remember Cai Qianshi said that it took two days for his wife to give birth to Duo'er," Yue Chi said.

At this moment, Su Su in the room tightly grasped Ye Ling: "Sister, it hurts so much, I don't want to give birth anymore, really, I don't want to give birth anymore, I'm going to die."

"Madam, please hold on a little longer. We can see the baby's head. It's very small. You can give birth to it without cutting below. Let's do our best. Be good and be obedient," Julie encouraged Susu.

"Let me try." Ye Ling stood up and rolled up her sleeves. After checking that the baby's head was about to come out, she knelt on the bed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'll help you push it out. You cooperate and work hard. Let's try again. It will definitely succeed."

"This is not possible!" Zhang said quickly.

"It's okay, I have experience," Ye Ling wanted to say. Although she had never been a midwife, she had seen how doctors in the hospital helped women give birth. "Sister-in-law, come on, let's do it once, one, two, three."

"Ah~" Su Su tried his best to cooperate with Ye Ling and made a final strong attack. He suddenly felt like he was floating up and felt relieved.

"Wow~" the crying sound resounded through the sky.

"It's born, it's a boy," Zhang shouted.

Ye Ling immediately got out of bed, took the scissors from the midwife, and cut the umbilical cord and removed the placenta in one go. "Go wash up, baby, I'll take care of the adults. Sister-in-law, bear with it for a while. I'll clean up the blood for you. This way, you'll be much cleaner during confinement, and the lacerations below will heal more easily."

Su Su was completely exhausted: "I'll listen to you. I'm free now. You can do whatever you want."

The men outside were extremely excited. Mo Yufeng quickly thanked his ancestors: "Finally, the baby is born!"

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master, on the birth of your son." Yue Chi and Ji Ruochen bowed.

"Oh!" Zhang was the first to go out: "Master, congratulations! Your junior sister is very brave. If she hadn't wanted to help push Madam's belly, she wouldn't have come out yet."

"How is my wife?" Mo Yufeng asked.

"Madam is exhausted and probably fell asleep. Please wait a moment, Pavilion Master. The child will be brought out soon."

"Okay." Mo Yufeng felt relieved this time: "Send the old lady back to the East Courtyard."

"Have you found a wet nurse?" Yue Chi asked.

"Du Jiang's wife just came out of confinement. I have already sent someone to look for her. I also found two ladies from the family in the back mountain to help take care of her. Susu said she wants to feed her herself."

"The baby is out." Julie took the baby and went out: "Go to the next room, don't let it get exposed to the wind."

Everyone hurried to the side room, and Mo Yufeng stepped forward to catch his first child.

"Congratulations, Pavilion Master, it's a baby boy," Julie said with a smile.

"Wow!" Yue Chi peeled back the quilt and took a look: "It's so tiny!"

"What's your name?" Ji Ruochen asked.

"Yinan" Mo Yufeng blurted out, he had thought about it long ago.

"Mo Yinan is difficult? What a good name!"

"Pavilion Master, I took the baby back after I examined it. This month has been all about the women. If you want to see the baby, have someone bring it out. Madam herself hasn't seen it yet."

"Okay." Mo Yufeng reluctantly gave the child to Julie.

At this moment in the main house, Ye Ling and two midwives had already changed Su Su's bedding into clean ones so that she could sleep comfortably.

"The Pavilion Master has seen the child. Come, come, Madam, take a look too." Julie placed the child next to Su Su.

Su Su opened her eyes and looked at the child she had given birth to with great effort, and couldn't help crying again.

"The Pavilion Master named the young master Yinan." Meng Jing was finally able to come in.

Ye Ling looked at the doorway: "Where's my senior brother? Why doesn't he come in to see my sister-in-law?"

"Hey, Miss Ye, this is not allowed. Women are not clean after seeing blood and dirt. It will be unlucky for men to come in. According to the rules of our ancestors, men are not allowed to enter this room during a woman's confinement period," Julie said with a smile.

"What the hell?" Ye Ling was furious.

"Sister, I'm so tired and want to have a good sleep," Su Su said weakly.

Ye Ling was very angry: "Sister-in-law, take his son away and see how he handles it. My sister needs to rest, you should go out and rest too. Jingjing and Qiuju can stay. Guoer, go and serve some porridge."

"Sister, I am so happy to have you." Su Su's tears never dried.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Meng Jing's eyes also turned red.

"Sleep peacefully, Jingjing and I will never leave you. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can tell us at any time. We will stay with you." Ye Ling gently wiped Su Su's tears.

Julie put the child in the crib she had prepared in advance, then walked out the door, puzzled. Seeing several people in the courtyard, she said, "Pavilion Master, I don't know what's wrong with Miss Ye. She suddenly became very angry and asked me to take the young master away. I'll give it to you and see how you deal with it. Her sister needs to rest."

"Is it handled properly?" Yue Chi smiled bitterly.

"Duo'er has woken up. You go and accompany her first. I will send someone to send you and the aunt back. The wet nurse and the two ladies will be here soon. I will wait here for my junior sister to come out and ask some questions," said Mo Yufeng.

"The child is in there...?" Julie was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister will take care of it."

Before Julie could leave, she heard Su Su crying from inside, so she hurried back to check.

Inside the room, Ye Ling asked anxiously, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere? You can tell me."

Su Su kept shaking her head and crying sadly.

"What's wrong?" Julie walked in, lifted the quilt to check for signs of bleeding, and then spoke gently, "Madam, it's okay. The bleeding will stop in about 15 days. Don't cry anymore. Crying during confinement can cause eye problems. Be obedient."

Su Su nodded, held back her tears, but still held Ye Ling tightly in her hand.

As they were talking, the wet nurse and two women around thirty years old came in. The wet nurse said, "Greetings, Madam. Congratulations, Madam. From now on, I will feed the child, and these two will help take care of him. You..."

Before the wet nurse could finish her words, Su Su turned around and started crying again.

Ye Ling became angry: "You three, get out first."

The three of them looked at each other and then walked out.

Everyone outside was confused. Mo Yufeng asked, "Why did you come out? Why is Madam still crying?"

"This..." The nurse also didn't understand: "We don't quite understand. Madam started crying when she saw us, and Miss Ye was very angry and asked us to leave."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruochen and Yue Chi, who were about to leave, had no choice but to turn back. Ji Ruochen asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong? Why are you still crying after giving birth?"

Mo Yufeng was extremely anxious, but due to the rules of his ancestors, he could not go in to see.

At this moment, Julie and Meng Jing also came out.

"What happened?" Mo Yufeng asked quickly.

"I don't know," Meng Jing said dejectedly. "Susu has been crying. My sister asked us to come out so she could ask what's going on. Anyway, I never want to have a baby. Having a baby is the most terrifying thing in the world. I want to tell Dad that I won't get married. I can live with my sister and I don't have to have children. It's so good to be a man! I really want to be a man."

Meng Jing's words shocked everyone. They all looked at the little girl who was sitting on the stone platform with her chin supported by her hands.

Yue Chi did not follow the usual path. He bent down and looked at Meng Jing: "Don't you like your Zhuo Sishi anymore?"

Meng Jing shook her head with lifeless eyes: "The best person in the world is Sister Ye. She loves me the most and also loves Susu. Even the Pavilion Master doesn't love Susu."

"No... Miss Meng, I've been very kind to you, haven't I? How can you say that?" Mo Yufeng was helpless.

Meng Jing glanced at Mo Yufeng, then rolled her eyes. "Susu risked her life to give birth to a child for you, and you're just standing here. Why? Her face is bloodless, she bled so much, her mouth is full of blood..."

"Wait a minute, where does the blood in your mouth come from?" Yue Chi asked.

"My wife couldn't give birth to the baby, so she gritted her teeth and held on, and she bit her lip, so her mouth was bleeding," Julie explained.

"Wow~" Meng Jing hugged her head and cried. She really felt sorry for her good sister.

"Auntie, don't cry!" Yue Chi was anxious.

At the same time, inside the house, Ye Ling held Su Su's hand and coaxed her softly: "Sister-in-law, Qiu Ju and I are the only ones left in the house. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me."

"Miss" Qiu Ju also started crying: "Don't cry, tell me where you feel uncomfortable, don't be embarrassed, I will wipe it clean for you, if you feel uncomfortable because of the wetness down there, I will change it for you."

Su Su then tried to restrain herself: "Sister, I... I don't want to see strangers. I get angry when I see strangers. I hate them. I don't know why this happens..."

"Okay, okay," Ye Ling said softly, "while you're in confinement, Qiuju and I will take care of the baby, okay? You don't have milk for the time being, I have a way to make sure he's full, okay? Qiuju and I will stay with you, is that okay? Let's finish the confinement first and talk about other things later, how about it?"

"And Jingjing."

"Yes, yes, yes, and our smart Miss Meng." Ye Ling tried her best to make Su Su happy.

"Okay, sister, you won't leave, okay?"

"If you don't leave, I will stay here with you during your confinement period. I will never leave, but you are not allowed to cry again."

"I won't cry, sister. Only when you go through danger can you know who will love you."

"That's right, go to sleep, you are very tired and need to rest." Ye Ling said and pressed Su Su's sleeping point quietly: "Go to sleep, I will protect you."

After Su Su fell asleep, Ye Ling got up and walked to the crib: "Qiu Ju, this child is really well-behaved. She doesn't even cry when she's awake."

"He cried twice when he was born and never cried again." Qiuju also came to see the child.

"Children like this are easy to raise."

"Then you teach this servant how to take care of the child, so that the young lady won't have to meet strangers."

"Okay, I'll teach you. Raising a child isn't that scary."

"Yes" Qiuju was very confident.
