Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 27 Beginning

On the other side, upon seeing her mother's outburst, Minglan immediately rushed out with Xiaotao in a flustered manner.

As she ran, she instructed Xiao Tao, "Xiao Tao, let's hurry and find Granny Liu!"

Granny Liu was a renowned midwife in Yangzhou. She delivered babies for women in the city for many years, from high-ranking officials to ordinary people. Everyone knew of her skills, and her delivery abilities were truly remarkable.

After all, the number of children she has given birth to is at least several hundred, if not a thousand. If they were laid out, they could probably... not circle Yangzhou, but they would definitely not be a small number!

Right now, the renowned "Midwife Saint" Granny Liu has been specially invited by Lin Qinshuang to deliver the baby in Wei Xiaoniang's womb.

But is he really like that?

……

house.

Wei Shuyi, whose water had broken, was lying alone in bed, sweating profusely as she waited for the midwife to arrive.

As for Xiaoxue and Xiaoqin in their own courtyard, one of them went out to boil water, and the other disappeared while Wei Xiaoniang was in pain after helping Wei Shuyi to the bed.

"Uh~~"

"Ah~~"

"..."

A series of groans, forced yet uncontrollable, continuously escaped from Wei Xiaoniang's mouth.

"water……"

Under the constant throbbing pain, Wei Shuyi was somewhat delirious and confused; otherwise, she wouldn't have let Xiaoqin disappear silently from her side.

As the pain gradually subsided, Wei Shuyi slowly regained consciousness. However, due to the loss of a large amount of sweat, her only feeling after waking up was that her mouth was dry.

"water……"

"water……"

"..."

Weak whispers echoed incessantly in the room, but no one responded.

This is because, apart from the pregnant woman, there was no one else in the room, as if everyone in the entire world had disappeared.

"Xiaoqin?"

"Xiaoxue?"

The contractions during childbirth come in waves. As her pain gradually subsided, Wei Shuyi's consciousness gradually returned. When she opened her eyes and saw the situation in the room, she immediately understood everything.

"Ah……"

A bitter smile appeared on Wei Xiaoniang's lips. For some reason, Xiaodie's image appeared in her mind. She knew that if Xiaodie were still here, this situation would not have occurred in the house. They couldn't even get anyone to come for a drink of water!

Feeling the dryness in her mouth, Wei Shuyi really couldn't hold on any longer. Her thirst was a minor issue, but if she couldn't survive the delivery due to dehydration and harmed the baby, that would be a much bigger problem!

Left with no other choice, Wei Shuyi could only slowly struggle to get up from the bed, hug her big belly, and move step by step to the table.

"Bang!"

With her hands weak and unable to move easily, Wei Xiaoniang accidentally knocked over the cups on the table. However, she didn't pay attention to that and just picked up a cup with trembling hands to pour herself some tea.

However, it is currently the peak of the late spring cold snap. If the maids are not attentive, how can there be warm water in Wei Xiaoniang's room?

"Crash!"

The cold boiled water, which was completely still, was poured directly into Wei Shuyi's mouth.

"Gurgle! Gurgle!" "..."

In the quiet house, the sound of hurriedly drinking water could be heard!

This also shows just how dehydrated Wei Shuyi's body was.

However, Wei Shuyi was unaware that in this era, women were absolutely forbidden from drinking cold water during childbirth. This was because if the mother drank cold water at the time of childbirth, it would irritate her stomach and intestines, causing her muscles to contract and affecting the delivery.

If it gets even more serious, it could even cause a difficult childbirth!
Since no one had given her any pointers, Wei Shuyi naturally wouldn't know the taboos surrounding childbirth for women. At this moment, because she was thirsty, she had no other choice but to do this.

For women at this time, childbirth was indeed a perilous ordeal.

……

Meanwhile, Xiaoqin and Xiaoxue, who were supposed to be serving Wei Xiaoniang, secretly slipped into Linxi Pavilion and secretly reported the information to Zhou Xueniang in the courtyard.

"Okay, I get it!"

After listening to what the two women had to say, Zhou Xueniang waved her hand, signaling them to go back. After all, their connection should not be known to others.

Xiaoqin and Xiaoxue looked at each other, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. However, Zhou Xueniang had no time to pay attention to them after receiving the news!

So, Madam Zhou hurriedly rushed back to report the news to her mistress, Lin Qinshuang, so that they could prepare for their plan.

Therefore, Xiaoqin and Xiaoxue swallowed back the words they were about to say.

……

On the road.

"Xiaoqin, what do you think Lin Xiaoniang and the others are up to?"

"Why are you so concerned about Wei Xiaoniang's affairs?"

Xiaoxue pulled Xiaoqin out of Linxi Pavilion, asking her questions furtively along the way, as if trying to probe her for something.

Although both of them were assigned to Wei Xiaoniang by Lin Qinshuang, their respective masters were indeed different.

Xiaoqin is clever, or rather, cunning. She speaks and acts with great logic and reason, somewhat like Lin Qinshuang. Xiaoxue, on the other hand, is Lin Qinshuang's maid, but in reality, she is Wang Ruofu's person.

Although the inner quarters of wealthy families do not involve the open warfare of the battlefield, the dangers within are in no way inferior to those on the battlefield. While there is no direct confrontation, there are still hidden dangers that are difficult to guard against.

Xiaoxue was a pawn planted by Madam Wang in Linxi Pavilion.

However, perhaps it was related to Wang Ruofu's personality, the people she liked to use, besides being loyal, were characterized by being somewhat "honest." The straightforward Lady Wang chose honest people.

The same applies to Minor Snow.

"Ha~"

Xiaoqin chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly composed, only giving the other person a subtle look of disdain in her eyes.

As a maid sent out on missions, Xiaoxue thought that her undercover act of "being in Cao's camp but having her heart in Han's" had not been discovered by anyone, but in fact, her flaws had been seen through long ago.

Xiaoxue thought she was on the second floor, but in reality she was only on the first floor. On the other hand, Xiaoqin was thought to be on the first floor by Xiaoxue, but in reality she was already on the tenth floor!

Xiaoqin already had a plan in mind.

She always managed to outwit Xiaoxue, and this time was no exception.

To be honest, I took a screenshot. The number of recommendation votes at the time was 320, which was less than 100... ()?
