The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 430: One Gains, the Other Loses

Capital

"Aunt Yimo, is the Fourth Madam awake?"

A maid asked Yi Mo, who was guarding the door, in a low voice.

Yi Mo was about to speak when he heard a noise from inside.

Yimei, who was guarding the bed, came over when she heard the noise and asked, "Madam, did I wake you up?"

The Fourth Lady had a difficult pregnancy and was often sleepy during this period, so the Fourth Master ordered his servants not to disturb her rest unless necessary.

"What time is it?"

Ding Meishu felt a little dizzy and she managed to get up in a daze.

Yimei stepped forward and helped the fourth lady sit up, then took a soft pillow and leaned it against her back.

"At 1:00 PM, Madam, would you like to get up?"

Ding Meishu rubbed her dizzy head. She felt a little sleepy in the afternoon, so she took a nap. When she woke up, the sun was about to set.

"Get up, my head is dizzy, go out and get some fresh air."

The maids tidied up in an orderly manner, and Yi Mo came in to help the Fourth Madam dress and wash her face.

Taking advantage of the gap, Ding Meishu touched her belly and breathed a sigh of relief when she felt a slight movement inside.

"Could it be that this child has slept all afternoon like me, without moving at all?"

Ding Meishu said this with a smile, and Yimo became a little anxious after hearing it.

"Oh my lady, this is unacceptable. Our young master is very lively."

Not moving is not a good omen.

Ding Meishu shook her head and nodded Yi Mo's head.

"You, you."

The little maid opened the curtain, and Yi Mo helped the Fourth Madam walk out.

"Madam, please don't blame me for being too talkative. Children are smart and can understand what you say."

"As expected, she's a mother, and she says one thing and does another."

Yi Mo married Duan He, who was by Duan Jing'an's side, and now works as a manager outside, managing Duan Jing'an's property in Beijing.

"Madam, you just tease me."

When they arrived at the main hall, Dai Qianyi and others had already arrived.

"Madam slept a little longer today."

Dai Qianyi calculated the time and found that he had slept for about an hour and a half.

Ding Meishu let go of her hand, walked to Dai Qianyi, took her hand and led her to sit on the stool next to her.

"I was very sleepy in the afternoon. I woke up several times but couldn't fall asleep."

"Qianyi, could you please help me check the condition of the fetus?"

As of today, the baby in the belly is already seven and a half months old. According to their predictions, the baby should be coming out soon.

As the day drew closer, Ding Meishu became more and more anxious.

She wanted the baby to stay in her belly a little longer, as premature babies are not healthy and suffer.

But I also hope that he can be born before the eighth month.

The so-called seven live and eight don't.

Dai Qianyi lifted her sleeve and began to feel her pulse.

After a long while, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. It's no big deal."

"Gradually, you need to walk more often, a little while every day, so that you will have the strength to give birth."

Ding Meishu has experienced all of this, so she knows it all.

She was a little worried about the child. When the doctors from the Dai family came before, they said that the pregnancy could be preserved until the seventh month.

Later, Dai Qianyi used the Qianjin Needle Method to assist, and later improved it at his own discretion, and the effect was even better.

Apart from some suffering, the child was fortunately saved safely.

"When will the baby be born? It won't be good if it's eight months old."

Hearing this, Dai Qianyi immediately understood what the four ladies were worried about.

"Fourth Madam, the longer a fetus stays in the womb, the healthier it will be, and the healthier it will be when it's born. The saying 'seven months of life and eight months of death' refers to the fear that a fetus will adjust its position after eight months. Don't worry, we have a female doctor who specializes in adjusting position. If you walk around more often, the fetus will be able to turn back on its own."

Dai Qianyi felt that what the ancients meant by this sentence was that a seven-month-old fetus might survive, but an eight-month-old child might not.

However, it is not appropriate to say this in front of a pregnant woman.

After more than three months, Ding Meishu no longer trusted anyone but Qian Yi.

Don't look at this girl's young age, she was born to do this job.

He can be said to be a genius that is rarely seen in a century in the Dai family.

"That's good. If you have any other questions, just tell me."

Dai Qianyi gave a few more instructions before leaving with the suitcase.

As soon as she left, Duan Jing'an resigned and came back.

Before returning, he also went to Prince Chun's Mansion.

Seeing his wife walking slowly under the corridor, holding her belly, his heart softened and he quickly stepped forward to hold her waist.

"Fourth Master, you're back?"

Ding Meishu took a breath of fresh air and became much more sober.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the corridor, emitting a warm golden light.

When Duan Jing'an lowered his head, he could clearly see the fine hairs on his wife's face. She exuded a gentle beauty in the sunset.

"I'm back. How was your day? Did you sleep?"

"I slept for a long time, but I didn't sleep well. I felt a little tired."

Ding Meishu remembered the discomfort she felt when she got up and felt a little unhappy, so her face showed a little bit of displeasure.

Duan Jing'an didn't know why he felt tired even when sleeping. It was obvious that his pregnant wife was having a hard time, so he comforted her for a while.

Seeing the couple talking sweet words to each other, the servants tactfully stepped back.

The Fourth Master and the Fourth Lady have been married for so many years, and their relationship is still as good as ever, even better than before, like a newlywed couple who are in perfect harmony.

At dinner time, Ding Meishu, who usually knew to eat more without being told, became picky about food, so Duan Jingan coaxed her to eat more.

After I finished my meal with her, I took her for a walk in the garden.

"Go back and play for a while and wait for me. I'm going to mother's yard."

Ding Meishu wanted to go with them, but she felt a little tired and had to stay in the house.

The most handsome and intelligent child in Duan Houfu did not stay in his mother's womb for eight months.

The news from the border town spread back, causing a shock in the capital. The fourth wife of the Marquis's Mansion could not withstand the shock and gave birth prematurely.

He came into this world amid the cries of his family, following the news of his elder brother's death.

With the passing of one life, another life is born.

Looking at Hua Ge'er, who was dressed in pink with purple spots, he was lying there, crying like a cat.

"My Hua was only half the size of his brother when he was born."

Ding Meishu knelt beside the bed, lying there with a pale face looking at the little person on the couch.

"As a mother, I can't even hug him."

"Madam, you can't cry during the confinement period. My brother is fine."

The Empress in the palace appointed the imperial physician who had taken care of Prince Chun to look after the child.

Ding Meishu looked at him reluctantly for several times before being helped back to the side room.
