The daily life of a cold and aloof general raising his wife

Upon learning this, Gu Shuchen immediately sent someone to find a midwife.

Jiang Shurou's labor started too suddenly; the midwives and wet nurses hadn't prepared anything yet.

Knowing that Jiang Shurou was about to give birth, Aunt Gu came despite her serious illness.

Jiang Shurou had fainted from the pain, but was later woken up by the pain again.

"Summer Lotus..."

Jiang Shurou's closest friend here is Xia He.

"The servant is here."

Xia He stayed by her side the whole time.

Jiang Shurou, enduring the pain, said, "Go, go find Auntie..."

"Yes, this servant will send someone to do it right away."

After Xia He finished speaking, she ran out to give instructions.

Jiang Shurou's hair was already soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead.

She never knew that childbirth could be so painful.

Gu Shuchen and his aunt waited outside.

Today, Aunt Hui and Du Siyu came to the General's Mansion to have a private talk with Jiang Shuwan. Not long after they arrived, they heard a maid say that someone was looking for them outside. Upon closer inquiry, they found out that it was Jiang Shurou's people.

Childbirth is a big event, and Aunt Hui left in a hurry after learning about it. Du Siyu and Jiang Shurou did not get along, so she did not go with them.

She frowned. "Cousin, do you think something might have happened to her?"

Du Siyu knew her due date wasn't now; this was bringing it up far too early.

Jiang Shuwan shook her head; she didn't know either.

Although they didn't get along, they were both women and had both experienced childbirth. Even though they disliked Jiang Shurou, they both hoped that she could give birth to her child safely.

When Aunt Hui arrived at the Gu residence, Jiang Shurou's condition was already quite bad.

Before Aunt Hui could even greet her sister-in-law, the midwife came out of the room and said, "Only one of the mother and the child can be saved. Please make a decision."

No one present expected this to happen.

Aunt Hui was the first to react, "We want them both! We want both! Whatever you want, ginseng or whatever, we have it!"

Gu Shuchen agreed, "We want both."

The midwife said with difficulty, "Madam is having a premature birth, and she is weak. I'm afraid she won't be able to withstand it."

Gu Shuchen and the other two remained silent.

The midwife urged, "Sir, you should make a decision soon, otherwise the lady will suffer more."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Shuchen said, "My lord, save my lord!"

Aunt Gu looked at him, somewhat displeased with what he had said, "Shuchen."

Aunt Hui thought her nephew was right and that the mother should be saved, but seeing her sister-in-law's expression, she dared not say anything.

After hearing this, the midwife went back into the house.

Aunt Hui glanced at the mother and son, who looked unwell, and followed the midwife into the house.

Jiang Shurou was groaning in pain inside the room.

Aunt Hui had prepared herself mentally, but seeing Jiang Shurou's current state still made her feel a little sorry for her.

"Rou'er..."

Jiang Shurou opened her eyes and, in a daze, seemed to see the Gu family.

"Auntie..."

Aunt Hui said with heartache, "My good child, you've suffered so much."

Jiang Shurou then recognized her as her aunt.

"aunt……"

Jiang Shurou's voice was very weak.

Aunt Hui held her hand, "Oh, don't be afraid, Auntie's here."

"Auntie, I just saw Father and Mother. I miss them so much..."

As Jiang Shurou spoke, tears streamed down her face.

Aunt Hui couldn't help but shed tears.

The midwife suddenly spoke up: "No, this baby is lying horizontally, it's not easy to take it out."

If this continues, not only the child, but the adults are also very likely to suffer severe bleeding.

Jiang Shurou said emotionally, "My child, my child..."

Aunt Hui reassured her, "Don't worry, you'll be fine, and the child will be fine too."

Jiang Shurou felt she was about to die. She gripped Aunt Hui's hand tightly, "Aunt, I'm afraid I'm not going to make it. Baby, baby, you must save the baby!"

Aunt Hui couldn't help but scold her, "Are you stupid? You can have another child, but you only have one life!"

Jiang Shurou shook her head, crying, "Auntie, you don't know how difficult it was for this child to come into the world. All my hopes were pinned on him... If he's gone, I can't go on living..."

Aunt Hui cried and said, "But what will happen to the children if you die?"

Jiang Shurou said weakly, "Cousin... I want to see my cousin..."

When Aunt Hui saw that she was not in good condition, she went out to call Gu Shuchen.

When Gu Shuchen heard that Jiang Shurou wanted to see him, he tried to go in without saying a word, but his aunt stopped him.

"Men are not allowed to enter the delivery room."

Aunt Hui couldn't help but say, "Sister-in-law Shu Rou is dying, please let the young couple meet one last time."

“My mother is on the verge of death, and I cannot leave her alone.”

After Gu Shuchen finished speaking, he went inside.

Aunt Gu couldn't stop her.

Aunt Hui quickly followed.

As soon as Gu Shuchen entered the room, he smelled a bloody odor.

Before even reaching the inner room, I could hear the baby's weak cries.

Aunt Hui smiled upon hearing this, "She's given birth! She's given birth!"

Gu Shuchen walked quickly towards the inner room.

The midwife, holding the baby, congratulated Gu Shuchen, "Congratulations, Lord Gu, it's a young master."

Because he was premature, the baby was very small and his cries were weak.

Aunt Hui and Gu Shuchen were still immersed in their joy when they heard Xia He shout.

"girl!!!"

Aunt Hui and Gu Shuchen's expressions changed drastically. They went over and found that Jiang Shurou had already closed her eyes.

Aunt Hui almost fell when she saw the person lying quietly on the bed, but luckily the maid behind her caught her.

Gu Shuchen hadn't expected Jiang Shurou to die, and he walked stiffly to the bedside.

"Cousin, cousin, Jiang Shurou..."

No one answered him.

Gu Shuchen stared blankly at the person lying on the bed, tears streaming down his face.

Aunt Gu was overjoyed to learn that she had a grandson, but her expression turned indifferent when she heard that Jiang Shurou had passed away.

General House

Jiang Shuwan was talking to Du Siyu when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart and clutched her chest with her hand.

Du Siyu asked with concern, "What's wrong, cousin?"

The pain was only momentary and quickly disappeared. "I'm fine."

Du Siyu glanced at the sky outside and said, "I wonder how Jiang Shurou is doing."

Jiang Shuwan had a vague sense of unease.

As expected, Aunt Hui came in from outside. She was pale, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked very sad.

Du Siyu was startled by her appearance. "Mother, what's wrong?"

Aunt Hui looked up at her daughter and niece, "Shu Rou is gone..."

Jiang Shuwan's body stiffened for a moment.

Du Siyu asked in surprise, "What?"

Aunt Hui briefly recounted what had just happened, and Du Siyu fell silent upon hearing it.

I never imagined that Jiang Shurou would be gone like this.

The world is impermanent.

Aunt Hui and Du Siyu had no interest in the General's Mansion anymore. They exchanged a few words with Jiang Shuwan and then left.

Jiang Shuwan was a little tired, so she lay down on the recliner and covered her eyes with her hands.

Her feelings were complicated at this moment. She wasn't exactly sad, but she just didn't expect her to leave so suddenly.

Only then did she realize that the moment she felt that pang of heartache was when Jiang Shurou passed away.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips, and just then, she had a telepathic connection with her twins.
