Instantly, the Second Madam Muâs face swelled up like a pigâs head, wailing fiercely.
At this moment, inside, Dongyangâs pain intensified, involuntarily letting out a sound. Yang Chuxia prepared to go in, her eyes sweeping over the open courtyard gate, quickly rushing to latch it.
Returning, she gave the Second Madam a kick before opening the door to enter.
"How is it?"
"The cervix is fully dilated."
The nanny stepped forward and said, "Commandery Princess, push!"
Since this was not her first birth, the process was relatively smooth. In less than one hour, the first child was bornâa girl.
"Ah, it seems like thereâs another one!"
The nanny stepped forward to feel and then turned to Dongyang, "Commandery Princess, push again!"
"..." Dongyang weakly spoke, "I, I am running out of strength."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia immediately placed a ginseng slice in her mouth. "Dongyang, hold on, you must hold on, understand?"
"Hmm," Dongyang blinked her eyes and began to push again.
"...Ah..." In less than fifteen minutes, indeed, another child was born. "Another little girl."
Upon hearing this, Dongyang completely fainted.
Su Ma and Yang Chuxia helped wrap the children, while another midwife went to assist with the cleaning.
In just a moment, the midwife shouted again, "Not good, the mother is hemorrhaging."
Yang Chuxia looked and found it to be true.
"Su Ma, hurry, bring out the hemostatic medicine."
Upon hearing this, Su Ma rushed to the medicine box, but upon opening it, found it empty, and burst into tears.
"Wah..."
Upon hearing her cries, Yang Chuxia set the child aside, "Whatâs going on?"
"Madam, all the medicine is gone."
Su Ma, clutching the box, cried as if she were made of tears.
"It must have been that Second Madam who took everything away again!" Yang Chuxia stormed out angrily, her eyes sweeping over the soldiers at the door, saying, "Ride and find a doctor, quick!"
At this moment, the young soldier dared not disobey, fearing it might very well be his own ruin.
As one soldier left, Yang Chuxia went to look at the Second Madam Mu, who had already passed out. She stepped on her fingers, waking her up, "Whereâs the medicine?"
"IâI donât know!"
Not knowing, she twisted again, spotting the daughter-in-law beside her, she crouched down and pulled her hand, "Whoever talks first, Iâll send her to see the doctor first. If you donât speak, Iâll leave her here to suffer."
"Hmph, Yang Chuxia, you hurt me today, you wonât get away. My Old Master will be back soon, just wait."
The Second Old Master Mu went out of town today, and only Second Madam Mu was in the residence, even her sons were out. So despite such a commotion in Dongyangâs courtyard, no one came to see.
"Then Iâll take your Old Master down with you!" Damn it, peopleâs lives are at stake, yet this old witch is dragging her feet. She squeezed her neck, "Say it, or Iâll send you to meet Yama right now."
"The medicine, the medicine was thrown away!" Second Madam Mu, meeting her bloodshot eyes, knew she really dared to kill her, and couldnât help but speak the truth.
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia hauled her up, "I donât believe you donât have any. Take me to your courtyard to fetch them; otherwise, Iâll start a massacre today."
Just as they arrived at the courtyard gate, they found the Second Old Master of the Mu Family and others outside. Seeing the Second Madam in Yang Chuxiaâs grip like a dog, they were instantly furious. Looking inside the courtyard again, where the guards were all bound together, "Whatâs going on here?"
"Whatâs going on? This old woman of yours is endangering lives, and I caught her red-handed," Yang Chuxia thought of this person as knowledgeable in medicine and immediately said, "No more nonsense, are you a doctor? Dongyang is hemorrhaging after childbirth, go prepare medicine quickly."
