The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Ding Meishu started to lose her temper and burst into tears for some reason.

"What's wrong with my temper? I haven't eaten enough, I haven't slept well, and I even need help going to the bathroom. It's so cold, I can't even stretch out my hand. You always tell me to go for a walk, but my feet are so swollen that I can't even wear shoes. I don't have the strength at all."

Ding Meishu felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her crying became louder.

Mrs. Bai was startled. Seeing her crying, she felt both angry and amused.

"Look, I haven't even said anything yet, and you're already crying. If someone doesn't know, they'd think I did something to you."

She sat over and wiped her daughter's tears with a handkerchief.

"It's not like I haven't experienced the pain of pregnancy before. It's hard to even turn over at this time, let alone walk with a big belly. But if you don't walk, and the baby doesn't come out for a long time, you will suffer more. I know you're in pain, so just bear with it. Everything will be fine after the baby is born."

Ding Meishu cried and buried her head in her mother's arms.

Only in front of her mother would she show such a fragile look.

Even though she already has a child, she is still a child in front of her mother.

"You're going to be a mother soon, don't cry. If the baby in your belly learns from you, you'll have a headache in the future."

"No, she must be a good and sensible child."

Ding Meishu's voice was muffled.

When I first got pregnant, I had morning sickness for quite a while, but suddenly one day, I was all better, I ate everything with relish, and had no discomfort at all.

If my belly hadn't grown bigger day by day, it would have seemed like I wasn't pregnant.

It was only in the last month that I started to feel uncomfortable.

"Yes, yes, he is a good child, and my mother's Shu'er is also a good child."

Bai stroked her tear-soaked hair, her heart and eyes filled with her.

Afterwards, Ding Meishu seemed to have turned on some mechanism, and her tears kept falling.

I cry when the food doesn’t taste good, when I can’t hold things firmly, when I can’t walk, and when I suddenly don’t like the clothes I carefully picked for.

Especially when I saw Duan Jing'an every night, I cried even harder.

When she cried, the baby in her belly also started to make noises.

The big and the small had been making trouble all over the yard for more than half a month. Finally, when they thought there would be no more trouble this year, Ding Meishu, who was eating buns on the morning of New Year's Eve, felt a little uncomfortable on the stool. She looked down but couldn't see anything.

When it felt a little cooler down there, she looked again and felt something was not right.

At first she thought she was leaking urine again and froze for a moment, not daring to move.

It was Bai who first noticed something was wrong. She put down what she was holding and stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"

Ding Meishu's face turned red and she was too embarrassed to speak, so she could only look at her pants.

Bai reached in and touched it. As an experienced person, she knew at a glance that it was probably coming.

"Quick, call the midwife and those female doctors over here."

Then he instructed the servants, "It's time to boil water, and heat the things prepared earlier with white wine and prepare them. Also, open the room on the west side immediately and help the master over."

Turning around and seeing the silly girl still standing there in a daze, Bai felt a little worried and a little amused.

"Still standing there, the baby in your belly is about to come out and celebrate the New Year with you."

Now Yujingyuan became lively, and the news soon spread to Zhengyuan and Bisongyuan.

Song Shengfu and Bai Shi rushed over and saw Ding Meishu being supported and walking around the room.

"Have you sent a message to Jing'an?"

Song Shengfu asked Lu, and Lu was a little anxious and hurriedly said that she had passed it on.

Haven't you eaten pork but seen a pig run? Song Shengfu knew that the production period was still very long.

No unrelated people were allowed to stay in the delivery room. In addition, Song Shengfu came in a hurry and did not change her clothes, so she and Lu and the others sat in the living room of the main house.

All I could hear was Ding Meishu's suppressed cries of pain coming from the next room from time to time, and Song Shengfu's heartbeat.

Although this was the second time, Song Shengfu was still scared.

She had never been married in her previous life, let alone had children. In her heart, she felt that except for her age, her mentality was still quite young, after all, she had never suffered the hardship of having children.

Song Shengfu's hands were shaking as she held the teacup. The pain of childbirth was undoubtedly a great torture.

Every woman who is a mother is great.

No one was in the mood to eat at noon, so they just ate some liquid food.

Old Xu was waiting in the outer courtyard in case of emergency.

In the west room lived a famous midwife in the capital, a teacher from a girls' school, and several female doctors.

The teachers in the girls' school were all female doctors and midwives that Song Shengfu had found from all over the place.

The delivery room was arranged according to Song Shengfu's instructions long ago, and there must be clean bedding inside.

Everyone inside must wear uniform white clothes and pants, so that even if they get them dirty accidentally, they can change them immediately.

There is a floor heating in the room on the west side, and it is very warm inside when the doors and windows are closed.

Bai also changed her clothes, with sweat on her forehead, and held Ding Meishu's hand.

"Shu'er, don't push yourself now. It's still early. Come and eat something."

Ding Meishu was sweating profusely, and the pain down there was unbearable, so she couldn't even breathe when she spoke.

"Mom, when will the bag come out?"

The child's nickname was not decided until she ate a bun in the morning and her water broke.

So she just decided on a nickname and called the child Baobao when he was born.

Mrs. Bai was somewhat dissatisfied with this. She said that a child's name should be carefully chosen, and this one was too casual.

Ding Meishu didn't care and made the decision directly.

A nickname should be casual so that the child can have good health.

"It's still early. It's only afternoon. If she wants to give birth, she'll probably have to go to the evening."

Ding Meishu cried out in pain and looked at the sky outside the window. It was still bright.

"Fourth Master, has Fourth Master come back yet?"

Bai's heart sank and she shook her head.

Although Ding Haimo knew that the Ministry of Justice was busy, he had been living there recently. However, his wife gave birth and her husband did not come back to accompany her, which made her, as a mother-in-law, feel a little dissatisfied.

"I've sent word, he'll probably be back soon. Be good and eat the noodles first, you won't be strong enough later."

Ding Meishu was in so much pain that she didn't have the energy to think so much, because the next wave of pain was coming.

After he calmed down, he took Bai's hand and ate a few bites.

On the other side, Duan Jing'an finally finished the matter at hand, apologized to his colleagues, and went out to rush home quickly.

Because the carriage was too slow, he took the horse, had someone saddle it, and went straight to Ma's house.

On the way back, the snow fell heavier and heavier, and it fell on Duan Jing'an's eyebrows.

He leaned forward, faster and faster.

His wife is still waiting for him to return.
