After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

Meng Qianqian's attack occurred while she was asleep.

She was dreaming that she had returned to her childhood, on the streets of Xicheng with her parents—her parents were holding her little hands, and she was skipping and jumping behind them, with her brother pretending to be calm behind them.

A family of four, amidst the bustling crowd, lived a happy, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

A sharp pain shattered her dream, and she returned to reality, finding herself feeling somewhat unwell.

She was a doctor, so her first reaction was naturally not to panic; the saying "a doctor cannot heal himself" did not apply to her either.

Having been pregnant for ten months, she knew her body better than anyone else, and calculating the days, it was indeed time for her to give birth.

However, she had been unconscious for a long time and didn't immediately realize that she was about to give birth.

Fortunately, despite being in a coma, her mother still took care of her health and promptly used the Thirteen Ghost Needles to protect her heart and fetal energy.

Therefore, she did not feel too weak.

Banxia was the first to discover that she was about to give birth.

Banxia had just brought over a bowl of white fungus soup, intending to ask if she was hungry, when she saw Meng Qianqian clutching her stomach, her brows furrowed, and the bedsheets soaking wet.

Banxia was stunned: "Miss, you...you..."

Meng Qianqian took a deep breath and calmly said, "My water broke."

"Oh no, my water broke... I almost thought..."

Banxia was so excited she could barely hold her bowl. "I'll go get Granny Li!"

"Granny Li! Miss is about to give birth!"

Granny Li, Granny Wan, and Granny Hu were tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

Upon hearing this, the three of them dropped the flowers and plants they were holding and hurriedly headed up to the main house.

Madam Du, who was simmering soup in the small kitchen, rushed out with a spatula in hand, asking repeatedly, "Is Miss about to give birth? Is she really going to give birth?"

Granny Li took a deep breath and asked, "Where is the midwife?"

Granny Wan immediately agreed: "It's in the back room, I'll go get it!"

They disappeared in a flash.

Granny Li: "Slow down! Don't fall! Madam! Remember to report to Madam!"

"I know, I know!"

Granny Wan's voice came from afar; it had only been a short while, which showed how quickly she had left.

Granny Hu replied, "Then I'll go boil some water."

Madam Du added, "We also need to prepare hot water and scissors!" After saying that, she and Granny Hu went to get busy.

The midwife arrived with Shang Jue.

Upon hearing that his daughter was about to give birth, Shang Jue immediately put down what he was doing and used his light-footed skills to enter the courtyard.

The midwife was startled by the person who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She patted her chest and said, "You scared me to death! Sir, could you please use the front door next time?"

Shang Jue said urgently, "It's me. Don't worry about me, go and see my daughter!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" The midwife hurriedly entered the room.

Lu Yuan and Chen Long arrived at the courtyard one after the other.

The two men, who had been fighting, miraculously reached a consensus at that moment.

However, it was only for a moment.

"It's all your fault!"

Chenlong said coldly.

Lu Yuan was completely bewildered: "What's wrong with you now?"

Chenlong: "You made my sister suffer so much."

Lu Yuan: "..."

For the first time in his life, he couldn't refute it.

Everyone says that childbirth is very painful for women, she... must have been in pain too.

Lu Yuan rushed inside without looking up.

Granny Hu quickly stopped him.

Lu Yuan: "You want to stop me?"

Granny Hu: "No, please come with me."

She didn't want to stop her, but Granny Li was very particular about rules.

"Ah."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Granny Hu led Lu Yuan around through the back door.

Little did they know, Granny Li had already anticipated that these young men would "not follow the rules" and was already waiting at the back door.

Her face was serious, which startled Granny Hu once again.

"hey-hey."

Granny Hu scratched her head and chuckled awkwardly.

Granny Li: "Gentlemen, please go back."

"several?"

Granny Hu turned around for no apparent reason.

I was shocked again when I saw it!

What's going on?!
Didn't she only bring her son-in-law? When did such a long line of people grow behind her?!
Her astonished gaze swept over Chen Long, Shang Jue, Yu Zichuan, and Qing Shuang behind Lu Yuan...

Chenlong: "She is my sister."

Shang Jue: "Xiao Jiu is my daughter."

"what."

She nodded hesitantly.

It's understandable for an older brother to worry about his younger sister and for a father to worry about his daughter, but what do you all mean by this?

"Guard Yu, what are you doing getting involved in this?!"

She almost lost her temper.

"Oh, I came with her."

Yu Zichuan pointed innocently at Qing Shuang, then said to her, "I already told you to go on the roof."

Qing Shuang nodded seriously: "Yes."

Granny Hu: "..."

Granny Hu then looked at the two powerful figures behind them, whom they dared not offend, and asked with a forced smile, "Your Majesty, and the Imperial Concubine."

The emperor and his favorite concubine, what are you two doing getting involved in this mess?!
I don't even dare to scold my old woman!

Granny Hu couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River: "Granny Li, it really wasn't me who brought them..."

She wouldn't have the guts...

No, she doesn't have that kind of face.

Granny Li said solemnly, "Girls give birth very quickly. You should all return to your own courtyards first."

Lu Yuan turned to the group and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Then, I'll go in and keep Xiao Jiu company first."

Granny Li replied neither servilely nor arrogantly, "The same goes for the son-in-law."

Lu Yuan: "..."

Zhou Nanyan stepped forward and said, "It seems that only I can go in and keep Sister Meng company!"

Granny Li: "Your Highness, please return."

Zhou Nanyan: "..."

Zongzhengxi: "How dare you! You even stop my imperial concubine!"

Lu Yuan slapped him on the head: "Why are you being so fierce?"

Zongzheng Xi, like a child being scolded by his father, touched his head aggrievedly: "It hurts... I've already assumed power, and this makes me lose face..."

Zhou Nanyan said worriedly, "But I'm very worried about Sister Meng."

Shang Jue asked with dissatisfaction, "Who exactly told you to stop us from going inside? We're not going in, can't we even wait at the door?"

"That's what I meant."

Zhong Liyuan strode over, holding a cute little tiger cub by the hand.

Shang Jue's expression immediately changed, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting: "A Yuan."

Zhongli Yuan said to Granny Li, "Granny, go to Xiao Jiu's side first, I'll take care of things here."

"Yes, ma'am."

Granny Li bowed and withdrew.

Zhongli Yuan said to everyone, "The reason we won't let you in is because you won't be of any help and might even get in the way."

She was very straightforward.

Sometimes, some things don't need to be done in such a roundabout way.

She then looked at Zhou Nanyan and said, "Don't worry, Yan'er, I will take good care of Xiao Jiu."

Her voice wasn't loud, nor was it commanding, yet it possessed a strangely convincing power.

Zhou Nanyan nodded: "In that case, I will wait in the flower hall."

Zhongli Yuan smiled slightly: "It is Xiao Jiu's honor to have Yan'er as a close friend."

"No, I'm the one who's honored!"

As Zhou Nanyan was speaking, she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said, "I'll go and inform Sister Lin and Sister Wang!"

Zong Zhengxi: "Hey! It's not born yet!"

As soon as Zhou Nanyan left, Zong Zhengxi followed her.

Shang Jue turned around and glared sternly at Lu Yuan and the others: "Didn't you hear what my wife said? Hurry up and go back, stop causing trouble!"

Lu Yuan, Chen Long, Yu Zichuan, and Qing Shuang left expressionlessly.

Three seconds later, the four of them swiftly turned back and lay down behind the artificial hill.

Shang Jue tugged at Zhong Liyuan's sleeve: "Just let me go in and wait. I promise I won't cause any trouble. I'll stand in the courtyard and won't wander off."

"No."

Zhong Liyuan firmly refused.

She didn't have the concept that the delivery room was an unlucky place.

However, the delivery room requires absolute quiet and hygiene.

Shang Jue tugged at Zhongli Yuan's sleeve and said in a clingy voice, "Sister Yuan..."

The four people behind the artificial hill shuddered and fell to the ground with a thud! (End of Chapter)
