Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 943 Before Delivery

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Liu mentioned that she wanted to have a good chat with Zhou Banxia, ​​and making sure his mother was there, Gu Wenxuan slipped away decisively.

After coming out of the east wing, he didn't need to ask much, he learned from Gu Dachang's family that Zhou Molan had returned from outside and was still in the cross-courtyard.

Unlike Chen Wenpo who lived in the cross-courtyard of the back house, Doctor Lin still lived in the guest house in the outer courtyard with Doctor Song even after her daughter Lian Jie'er returned from the capital.

As far as he knew, Lian Jie'er said that she and the girl from the Chen family were in his younger sister Baoya's yard these days, but in fact the two girls spent more time in the cross-yard.

Whether it was to avoid suspicion or not, it was not appropriate for a foreign man like him to go to the backyard to visit Chen Wenpo's sister-in-law. With Zhou Molan there, it was obvious that the midwife would not come over quickly.

So, without thinking twice, he went to the outer courtyard, to the guest house where Doctor Lin and his wife lived.

On ordinary days, whether they went to see Doctor Lin or Doctor Song at this time, the couple would definitely not stay in the guest house.

Generally speaking, the couple was either in the pharmacy laboratory he had set up deep in the backyard, or at Doctor Dong's place.

However, in the past two days, as his wife's due date was approaching, Dr. Lian Song had not even stepped out of the house.

As for whether they would take the wrong road, it was impossible for the couple, or Dr. Lin, to be in the "pharmacy" further back at that moment.

Since midwife Chen gave the answer that his wife would start the movement either tonight or tomorrow morning, even though her tone was not very certain, it was even less likely that Doctor Lin would provide customers.

Not to mention that the "pharmacies" were farther from the West Road Garden where he and his wife lived than the source of customers, Dr. Lin would also avoid "the bloody mess" today.

as predicted.

Consistent with Gu Wenxuan's guess, when he arrived at the guest house where Doctor Lin and his wife lived, they were seeing one of them holding a medical book and the other organizing a medicine box.

The one holding the medical book is Doctor Song.

When he heard the maid come in to announce Gu Wenxuan's arrival, he didn't put down the medical book but turned to the window and shouted for Gu Wenxuan to come in.

Not only him, Doctor Lin also guessed Gu Wenxuan's intention. Seeing that Gu Wenxuan's steps were hurried but his expression was relatively stable, she couldn't help but smile and asked, "Have you heard about it?"

Gu Wenxuan nodded quickly.

"Your Aunt Chen and her sister-in-law have delivered countless babies. No matter how frail an elderly mother is, with their care, even twins can be born safely."

You know, this is why the gentleman spared no expense and, somewhat out of courtesy, asked the Yue family to hire Aunt Chen and her sister-in-law to come from afar.

The first issue he is worried about now is not whether he can give birth naturally. If something goes wrong, he will definitely have to have a caesarean section. The question now is?
"My wife hadn't had any more contractions since the afternoon until I came here, and she didn't seem to be hiding anything from me because she was afraid I'd worry.

I am a little worried. If it starts tonight, does it mean that my wife actually had contractions in the afternoon, but she just endured it and didn't say anything?"

"..." He was still panicking when he said this. Doctor Lin shook his head slowly, "Your Aunt Chen came to this conclusion based on the intervals between your wife's labor pains.

Logically speaking, it won’t be tonight, but tomorrow morning would be more accurate. When she said tonight, she meant that the labor pains might start tonight and intensify tomorrow morning.”

That is to say, the frequency of contractions has increased. Even if there is a halftime break from the afternoon to before dark, his wife will still give birth? Gu Wenxuan didn't know if his understanding was correct, but one thing he could be sure of was that Dr. Lin also thought that his wife would give birth tomorrow morning at the latest.

Looking at Doctor Lin's expression from the time he came in until now, he didn't seem to be avoiding any unlucky words. After a slight hesitation, he still said something extra.

——Asked Dr. Lin implicitly, are everything ready?
Doctor Lin was not surprised by this, nor did he dislike Gu Wenxuan for being nagging. Not to mention today's question, he had also missed this question yesterday and the day before yesterday.

Whether it was to comfort Gu Wenxuan, she still told him what arrangements she had made this morning, including the final inspection of the medicine box in front of her.

In short, she was in the "operating room" in the main courtyard of the West Courtyard, not far from the East Wing, and even the lighting supplies had been prepared in advance.

Next, she would take the medicine box and go to Chen Wenpo's place in the back to guard it, while Doctor Song would have to wait here for Doctor Dong to arrive, and then go to the west courtyard when Zhou Banxia started to have symptoms.

Gu Wenxuan listened quietly, knowing that Doctor Lin had enjoyed himself very much and had made the best arrangements. Seeing Doctor Lin picking up the medicine box and leaving, he could not stay any longer.

There were not many words of thanks to express. He kept the friendship between Doctor Lin and Doctor Song in his heart, bowed to Doctor Song, thanked him, and left. Then he sent Jiaxing to look after Doctor Song.

In case Doctor Dong does not arrive on time, Jiaxing can ask him to go and invite him in person. Even if Doctor Dong comes, Jiaxing can take good care of him.

And himself?

He really couldn't afford to go out and see Doctor Dong in person now, so it would be more reassuring to accompany Doctor Lin while he went to see Midwife Chen and the others.

In addition to the preventive measures taken by Dr. Lin in case of adverse reactions, Chen Wenpo and her sister-in-law should also have a series of methods to deal with childbirth, right?

For this reason, when he met Chen Wenpo and her sister-in-law, Gu Wenxuan was worried that Chen Wenpo and her sister-in-law would have some concerns when they came back, so he invested heavily.

As long as his wife is safe, Gu Wenxuan will owe each of them a favor in this life. If his wife and her daughter are safe, he will owe each of them two favors.

This so-called "favor" is exactly what Chen Wenpo and her sister-in-law want. Lord Zhou Huan's favor is certainly more important, but it cannot match Gu Wenxuan's youth.

Even though Sister-in-law Chen Wenpo had only been in Yuyuan for a short time, she had already seen in the Zhou Mansion in Beijing that Gu Wenxuan held a high status in the eyes of everyone in the Zhou Mansion.

Perhaps because of the promise he made, Gu Wenxuan saw that Chen Wenpo and her sister-in-law were not idle sitting in the cross-yard, and they didn’t even have to go to his yard for dinner.

When they went there, they quietly took a detour to avoid entering from the back door or the side door. After going around a circle, those who entered from the front door would stay in the front yard.

"I'm home?"

Zhou Banxia sat for a while and her waist felt a little sore. She just stood up with the help of her considerate mother-in-law, and saw Gu Wenxuan's tall figure blocking the light from the door.

Gu Wenxuan hurriedly responded and saw his mother shaking her head slightly. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still somewhat unsure whether his wife had "lied about military intelligence" or not.

You have to know that it is actually much darker outside now, and it is only about half an hour away from dark. Is this "half-time break" so long?

"You take care of Sanya. I'm going to go see where your father is."
