Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 318: The Concubine’s Daughter Defies Heaven and Changes Fate (58)
The butler drove the man away with a cold face, but Princess Changping refused to give up and wanted to move forward, so the butler had to have him beaten with a stick.
In the end, Princess Changping left unwillingly.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong, and Youlan Courtyard was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.
Suddenly, a creepy wailing sound came from the courtyard and echoed throughout the mansion.
Inside the room, the midwife anxiously directed everyone to constantly change the blood basins. Her face was as pale as paper, beads of sweat the size of beans hung on her forehead, and her expression was extremely nervous.
At this time, Jiang Xianyu was lying on the delivery bed, her face as pale as paper, and her breath as weak as a candle in the wind.
The bedding beneath her had already been stained red with blood, and the bloody smell filled the air, making people feel sick.
The fetus in the womb seemed to feel the mother's pain and became restless.
The midwife knew that the situation was critical and the lives of both mother and child were hanging by a thread.
She held Jiang Xianyu's hand tightly and comforted her softly.
"Young Madam, you must hold on! The baby will be out soon."
However, faced with such a dangerous situation, the midwife was also uneasy. She really didn't dare to assert that she could ensure that Jiang Xianyu would survive safely.
Right now, the conditions of both mother and child are extremely dangerous. It is still unknown whether it is possible to achieve the best of both worlds and keep them safe.
The midwife took a deep breath, calmed herself down, then turned to the maids in the courtyard and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"You must take good care of the young lady and do everything you can to help her conserve her strength so she can have a smooth birth. I'll go out and ask the young master for his advice."
After saying that, she hurried out of the room.
Outside the door, Xie Linan was leisurely playing and laughing with a beauty.
The woman was extremely beautiful, with skin as white as snow, eyebrows as dark as distant black, eyes as clear as autumn water, and lips that were naturally red. She was truly a stunner.
However, her flower-like face always carries a hint of elusive indifference, and it is impossible to see what she is really thinking.
The woman curled her lips slightly and said coquettishly, "What's so interesting about giving birth to a child? Master, why don't you accompany me to catch butterflies by the hot spring?
The scenery there is pleasant and must be much more interesting than here."
As she spoke, she stretched out her delicate hand, grabbed Xie Linan's sleeve, and shook it gently, her eyes full of anticipation.
Xie Linan's gaze involuntarily turned towards the delivery room. Through the closed door, he seemed to see the woman he once loved deeply suffering great pain inside.
Since when, this beloved who once occupied all his heart has gradually lost its former friendship.
Even if Xie Linan was thinking about her in his heart, every time he wanted to see Jiang Xianyu, he would make a big fuss. It would be better not to see her.
Now, looking at Jiang Xianyu facing all the difficulties alone in the delivery room, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
So when faced with the beauty's words, he subconsciously refused.
"My wife is still giving birth. What will happen if I leave her and something happens? Don't panic. Wait here quietly. I'll take care of her."
The beauty was a little annoyed. The young lady's reputation was not good now.
My mother, Princess Changping, was punished by the emperor and even lost her status as a princess. She was also divorced by the prime minister.
Even so, the young master still kept her by his side. He truly had a kind heart.
"The young master is very kind to Madam. I hope Madam will appreciate the young master's kindness."
While the two were talking, the midwife came out in a hurry, looked at Xie Linan nervously and said quickly.
"Madam's strength is a little insufficient, and the child is too big. I'm afraid that only one of the mother and child may be saved. Master, do you want to save the mother or the child?"
These words made Xie Linan feel conflicted.
If Jiang Xianyu died, he would feel bad, but he knew that this baby was a boy. If the child was gone, Madam Xie would probably blame him.
He thought about it again and again, and finally spoke according to his conscience.
"No matter what, at least we have to protect the young lady."
The midwife probably understood what he meant and nodded quickly.
"Please rest assured, Master. I will do my utmost to protect this child, and as for Madam, I will also use all my medical skills.
However, whether or not the Madam can be allowed to live is hard to say, so please don't blame me when the time comes."
Xie Linan certainly wouldn't blame anyone. Pregnancy for a woman is inherently risky, and he knew this better than anyone else.
In this way, Xie Linan kept waiting outside the delivery room, and even ignored the beauty who fed her cakes. Jiang Xianyu lost everything, and now she only has him.
Perhaps it was his male chauvinism that made him unable to bear to leave Jiang Xianyu and he only wished her a safe delivery.
The midwife asked someone to give Jiang Xianyu some hot water so that she could gather enough strength to continue giving birth.
Jiang Xianyu cried with all her might. After a while, she heard the cry of a baby. The child in her belly was born.
However, Jiang Xianyu was bleeding too much and the midwife almost failed to stop the bleeding.
That night, Jiang Xianyu almost stepped into the gates of hell, but the child was born, a healthy and beautiful daughter.
The midwife walked up to her, holding the child, and said with a smile.
"Congratulations, madam, on giving birth to a daughter. Although the baby hasn't fully grown up yet, her eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth are exactly like yours. Look at this delicate little face. She will surely become a stunning beauty when she grows up!" said the midwife with a smile.
Jiang Xianyu slowly reached out her hand and gently stroked the child's delicate skin.
However, when her eyes fell on the child's wrinkled little face, the joy in her heart seemed to be frozen by frost and could never truly bloom.
She clearly remembered that the doctor had told her with certainty that she was pregnant with a boy.
But now, the little life before her turned out to be a little girl. A trace of displeasure crept into her heart, and she couldn't help but chuckle at herself.
"She's just a little girl, what's there to be happy about? Even if she grows up, she'll eventually marry and leave home, and won't be by my side forever. I put so much effort into carrying you for ten months, and in the end, this is the result. Is God really playing a trick on me? It's so unfair..."
Jiang Xianyu murmured to herself, her tone full of loss and helplessness.
At this moment, Xie Linan, who was standing outside the door, heard his wife's words from inside the house, and his face instantly became gloomy.
He had been waiting for his daughter's birth with great joy, but now his heart felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He planned to come in and comfort Jiang Xianyu.
After hearing those words, Xie Linan felt a chill in his heart, as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, instantly extinguishing all the fire of hope burning deep in his heart.
The once beautiful past and earnest expectations are now slowly dissipating like smoke, until they disappear without a trace.
He stood there blankly, the words he heard echoing in his mind.
Yes, how could he forget that Jiang Xianyu has always been like that!
No matter who he treats, he is always so sarcastic and harsh, without any tenderness at all.
In the past, she was so harsh to the servants in her mansion, and now even her own flesh and blood are not spared.
At this time, the midwife's face was frighteningly gloomy, and she looked at the baby in the cradle with complicated eyes.
The child's small body was covered in blood stains that had not been wiped off in time, making him look miserable.
However, Jiang Xianyu, the biological mother, showed her disgust without mercy, as if this new life was just a heavy burden to her.
Seeing this scene, the midwife couldn't help but secretly shook her head and sighed: This child will probably have a hard time in the future!
However, despite her heart full of pity, the midwife knew very well that the right and wrong and grudges in the mansion were complicated and far beyond her ability to intervene.
So, she suppressed the emotion in her heart, stood up and instructed the maid beside her.
"Hurry up and wipe the child clean."
After the maid completed the task skillfully, the midwife turned around and replied to Xie Linan respectfully.
"In reply to Young Master, Madam and the child are both safe and sound. However... Madam's health was damaged during childbirth, and her vitality was greatly depleted. I'm afraid she will have difficulty conceiving again in the future. Therefore, she must be carefully cared for and rest well."
The midwife said cautiously.
Xie Linan nodded slightly to show that he understood, and spoke slowly.
"Thank you so much. Someone, take the midwife to the accounting office to collect the reward."
After saying this, he waved his hand to signal the servants around him to lead the midwife to receive the reward.
After the midwife left, Xie Linan fell into deep thought again, looking into the distance with confused eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xie Linan adjusted his mood, walked to Jiang Xianyu's side, held her hand and said.
"You've worked hard. I've asked someone to make you some black chicken soup. Is there anything else you'd like to eat?"
Xie Linan's gentle voice did not warm Jiang Xianyu's heart at all. When she knew that Shi Qing had memories of his past life but did not fight for Xie Linan, she no longer liked this man.
She tried so hard to snatch the bride, but in the end, Xie Linan couldn't even keep his position as the crown prince. He was simply a waste.
Jiang Xianyu didn't have a good time in the Heavenly Prison during this period, and Xie Linan never even looked at her once.
Later, Jiang Xianyu found out that Xie Linan had a mistress outside, and she was even more unhappy with him.
"Now you're actually concerned about me. When you were out there looking for girls, did you ever think about how well I was doing in the prison? Now you're here pretending to be so attentive. I don't know who you're acting for."
These words were very sarcastic and hurtful. Xie Linan was stung by his words and became inexplicably angry. He said coldly.
"I'm just worried that you're not having a good life. Isn't your imprisonment caused by poisoning the crown prince?
My position as Crown Prince and my father's military power were lost to protect you, yet you lose your temper for no reason. It's truly a joke."
Jiang Xianyu gritted her teeth and said, "I knew you didn't come to visit me specially. If you are deliberately trying to make me angry, you might as well get out of here. I don't need your false feelings."
These words directly tore off the fig leaf, and Xie Linan's good temper was gone after all. He looked at Jiang Xianyu with a cold gaze and said coldly.
"Very well, go now. Don't ask me for anything from now on. Your mother has divorced you. I came to visit you out of pity for you. I was being sentimental."
