Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 29 Ran away
"Girl, this..."

"Squeak!"

Just as Zhou Xueniang was about to say a few words in agreement with her mistress, the door to the delivery room suddenly opened!
Inside the door, the midwife Liu and the maid Xiaoqin walked out one after the other.

"Granny Liu, how is my concubine?"

Upon seeing Granny Liu, Minglan's eyes lit up!
He didn't care about anything else and quickly ran forward, stopping Liu Mama in his tracks and asking urgently.

At the same time, Lin Qinshuang and her servant behind her also stopped talking, quietly pricked up their ears, and paid close attention.

They wanted to listen carefully to see what was really going on and whether things were as they had predicted...

It's a pleasant surprise!
"Oh my! My dear girl! Please don't stop me!"

Granny Liu, who was just about to make her escape, naturally did not want to be stopped.

The sooner she leaves, the further away she will be from what happens later, and the safer she will be!
She reached out and quickly pulled away from Sheng Minglan, who was holding her, while hurriedly explaining, revealing nothing of her true thoughts.

As for the true situation of Wei Xiaoniang, Granny Liu naturally didn't say a word, only saying, "I still need to go to the kitchen to boil some hot water!"

"No! Granny Liu!"

"You can have someone else boil the hot water. You need to stay here and take care of my mother!"

Xiao Minglan reached out and grabbed her tightly, desperately trying to prevent her from leaving.

"That won't do!"

Granny Liu's heart skipped a beat, almost thinking that her thoughts had been seen through. She quickly explained, "Young lady, the hot water used by new mothers is different. They can't boil it without my guidance!"

"This old woman has to go herself!"

"what?"

Young Minglan didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, so when the midwife said that, she could only reluctantly agree, "Alright then! Xiao Tao!"

"Take Granny Liu to the kitchen quickly! You must be fast! Don't waste any time!"

Yes, young lady!

Little Peach nodded, looking as serious as a general accepting a military order!

"Granny Liu, come with me quickly!"

As she spoke, Xiao Tao led Granny Liu and jogged towards the kitchen.

Those short legs, though not long, moved incredibly fast. With each step, the two figures disappeared in no time.

As for Xiaoqin, seeing the situation, she naturally returned to the house to continue serving Wei Xiaoniang during childbirth.

At this moment, Lin Qinshuang also gave Zhou Xueniang a wink, meaning that she should go and check the situation inside the house.

As for herself, she didn't want to go in because she was averse to such things. In addition, to be honest, Lin Qinshuang was also a little afraid to go in and see the scene of a woman giving birth, because such a frightening scene would make her tremble!
Production at this time is truly terrifying!
However, although she had received instructions, Zhou Xueniang couldn't go directly to visit Minglan because Minglan was still standing outside watching her intently. Therefore, in the end, she could only try to communicate with the "spy" she had planted inside.

"Quickly! Quickly take Sixth Sister to play with Fourth Sister for a while!"

Upon receiving Zhou Xueniang's hint, Lin Qinshuang had a sudden inspiration. Holding a maid's fan in one hand, she instructed Zhou Xueniang, "Be sure not to let those things in the delivery room scare the Sixth Miss!"

"Get her out of here!"

As he spoke, he thought of finding someone to send Xiao Minglan away.

Zhou Xueniang naturally understood this perfectly.

"Sixth Sister!"

Zhou Xueniang quickened her pace and came to Xiao Minglan's side, speaking in a seemingly loyal but actually cunning manner: "Why don't you play with our Fourth Miss for a while? Your humble servant is here!"

"Do not!!"

Xiao Minglan protested, "I'm not going anywhere, I want to stay here!"

With a push, Xiao Minglan broke free from Zhou Xueniang's control and walked back to the entrance of the delivery room, gazing longingly inside.

Faced with this, Zhou Xueniang and Lin Qinshuang could only exchange a helpless glance.

……

After waiting for a while, suddenly...

"Thump! Thump! Thump!" A series of hurried footsteps sounded, and Little Peach ran over, her eyes filled with tears.

"Girl! Girl!"

"Oh no!"

"That old woman...that old woman...she's gone!"

"what?"

Xiao Minglan's pupils contracted, her eyes filled with disbelief!

"What did you say?"

With tears streaming down her face, the little girl, looking utterly aggrieved, said, "Miss! I was leading the way for that old woman, and we were almost at the kitchen when, just as we turned the corner in the long corridor, I saw..."

"I looked... and the old woman... disappeared!"

"Woooo..."

After stammering out the whole story, Xiaotao burst into tears!

Although Xiao Tao was young, she knew that this nanny was an important person who was related to her mother's life and death. Now that the nanny had disappeared, she was naturally anxious and scared!
"You despicable thing!"

Lin Qinshuang, who was standing to the side, was secretly delighted!
Then, filled with righteous indignation, he immediately retorted, "They must have run away because they were afraid of getting tired!"

"She even calls herself a 'Midwife Saint,' but once I get past this Wei family girl, I'm going to settle the score with her!"

"..."

"Squeak!"

Just then, the door to the delivery room was suddenly opened again.

"Why isn't there hot water yet?!"

Xiaoqin stepped out and anxiously said to the people outside, "We need to hurry up with everything inside, including drinks and supplies!"

"correct!"

"Are there any more cakes? I'm almost out of strength in there!"

Xiaoqin, unaware of the situation outside, simply gave a brief report on Wei Xiaoniang's condition inside the room.

"How to do?"

"What should I do?"

Time was of the essence, and the situation was serious. Little Minglan, who was new to this important matter, had no idea what to do.

"These despicable bastards! They can't even heat water properly!"

"Really..."

"Young lady, don't worry, they're already working on it!"

"..."

Lin Qinshuang and her maid, standing to the side, appeared even more concerned and anxious than Minglan!
However, all of that was just talk; in reality, their hands and feet remained motionless, showing indifference.

"no!"

"I must go in and take a look!"

Knowing the urgency of the situation, Xiao Minglan disregarded everything else and only thought about rushing into the delivery room to ask her mother for advice on what to do next.

So, Minglan didn't hear what Lin Qinshuang and the others were saying at all. She was only focused on what Xiaoqin had said about her mother being out of strength. She reached out her little hand, grabbed a handful of pastries and cakes from the table, and rushed inside!
"Sixth Sister!"

"It's dirty in here, don't..."

"Auntie!"

Minglan pulled away Xiaoqin, who was trying to stop her, and rushed into the room, running to Wei Xiaoniang's bedside.

I finally saw this book on the recommendation list this morning (﹡o﹡), although it's ranked 590th in the light novel category, which is tenth from the bottom...
