Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The noise outside gradually subsided, but Jiang Peihuan still heard the cries from outside.

A moment later, Nanny Xu walked up to the old madam.

There was a hint of struggle in her eyes.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Old Madam Jiang said directly, “Speak up, His Highness King Cheng isn’t a stranger.”

Hearing this, Nurse Xu stepped forward and whispered, “Old Madam, Madam Jian is about to give birth.”

“She’s only just over seven months pregnant, isn’t she?”

“It seems she’s going into premature labor.”

Upon hearing Nanny Xu’s words, there was a shadow of concern in Old Madam Jiang’s eyes.

Although she wasn’t fond of Jian Mei, the child in her womb was still a child of the Jiang family.

“Grandmother, perhaps we should go see Aunt Mei.”

At this moment, Jiang Peihuan suggested to Old Madam Jiang. Hearing her words, the old madam nodded.

“Your Highness, I recently acquired some fine weapons. How about we go take a look together?”

At this time, Jiang Changbai spoke to Xiao Nanye.

Given that a concubine from the Jiang family’s second branch was giving birth, Xiao Nanye naturally wouldn’t want to join the commotion. So, after hearing Jiang Changbai’s words, he quickly nodded in agreement.

However, as he was getting up, Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan and whispered, “Huan Er, once you’re free, come find me at Elder Brother’s place.”

“Alright.”

After nodding to the man, Jiang Peihuan went to the Fragrant Garden with Old Madam Jiang’s support.

When Jiang Peihuan and Old Madam Jiang entered the courtyard, they immediately saw a very anxious Jiang Yuan and a conflicted Zhou Rongfang.

“How could she go into labor prematurely?”

“Mother, why are you here?”

Hearing Old Madam Jiang’s voice, Jiang Yuan and Zhou Rongfang quickly approached and paid their respects.

“Second Uncle, Second Aunt.”

Standing next to the old madam, Jiang Peihuan also greeted Jiang Yuan and his wife.

“Huan Er, you are now a Queen of Cheng Mansion. You shouldn’t bow to me anymore.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan’s gesture, Jiang Yuan quickly held his niece’s hand.

“Second Uncle, how is Aunt Mei?”

Hearing this, worry deepened in Jiang Yuan’s eyes. “We don’t know yet.”

From inside the room came the cries of Jian Mei. Hearing the screams, Jiang Peihuan frowned, “Have you called a doctor?”

“How can we let a male doctor see a woman in labor?”

Jiang Peihuan had just spoken when Jiang Yuan immediately replied.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan was speechless.

She almost forgot that her second uncle was quite old-fashioned.

Thinking for a moment, Jiang Peihuan turned to Jiang Yuan, “Second Uncle, let me go in and see. After all, I’ve read a few medical books. Maybe I can help.”

Without waiting for Jiang Yuan’s reply, Jiang Peihuan walked towards Jian Mei’s room.

When she entered, she was greeted by a strong smell of blood.

The midwife was by the bed but seemed clueless because Jian Mei’s cervix hadn’t dilated yet.

Jian Mei’s face was pale, but when she heard a voice, she instinctively turned her head.

Seeing that it was Jiang Peihuan, she was momentarily stunned.

However, Jiang Peihuan had already approached and checked Jian Mei’s pulse.

“Ahh…”

A searing pain emanated from her abdomen, and Jian Mei let out a scream.

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “Don’t scream, or you won’t have the strength for the delivery later.”

“Go get Aunt Mei a bowl of ginseng soup.”

“Yes.”

After the maid left, Jiang Peihuan sat next to Jian Mei.

Jiang Peihuan began massaging several acupuncture points on Jian Mei’s body.

Whether it was psychological or not, Jian Mei felt the pain in her abdomen lessen.

By the time Jiang Peihuan’s hands were sore from massaging, the maid returned with the ginseng soup.

“Aunt Mei, quickly, drink the ginseng soup.”

With the maid’s assistance, Jian Mei drank the entire bowl of soup.

Whether it was due to Jiang Peihuan’s massage or the ginseng soup, Jian Mei felt her strength returning.

However, seeing Jiang Peihuan still standing by her side, there was complexity in her eyes, “Why are you helping me?”

Hearing Jian Mei’s words, Jiang Peihuan spoke softly, “The Jiang family is one and the same; we all thrive or suffer together.”

“The child in your womb is a member of the Jiang family.”

Jiang Peihuan’s voice was very cold, but Jiang Mei’s eyes lit up with hope upon hearing these words.

“It’s opening, the birth canal is opening…”

At that moment, the midwife suddenly exclaimed joyfully.

Jian Mei felt waves of pain, even more intense than before.

“Madam Jian, push! The young master is about to come out.”

Hearing the midwife’s words, Jian Mei tightly gripped the blanket. At this point, Jiang Peihuan could only stand by and watch.

Seeing Jian Mei’s painful expression, worry was evident in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

The child was only a little over seven months.

“Why is it the feet first?”

The midwife’s cry of shock snapped Jiang Peihuan back to reality.

“What’s wrong?”

Stepping forward, Jiang Peihuan asked in a low voice.

“The baby is in the wrong position. What do we do?”

Looking at the tiny foot that had already emerged, worry was evident in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes.

The midwife was panicking. After a brief moment of contemplation, Jiang Peihuan quickly pushed the foot back in and used a silver needle to lightly prick it.

Soon, the little foot retracted.

Seeing this, the midwife was completely stunned.

Jiang Peihuan then turned to her, asking in a deep voice, “Is there any way to correct the baby’s position?”

“Only… only through massaging.”

“Then massage her.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, the midwife quickly went to Jian Mei’s side, washed her hands, and began pressing forcefully on Jiang Mei’s abdomen.

Jian Mei let out a piercing scream.

However, hearing Jian Mei’s cry, Jiang Peihuan tightly held her hand, “You must endure. If we don’t correct the baby’s position, he could easily suffocate.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Jian Mei’s eyes widened. She didn’t scream anymore and only gripped Jiang Peihuan’s hand tightly.

“I got it, I got it…”

An hour later, seeing the baby’s head starting to emerge, the midwife’s eyes were filled with joy.

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan hurriedly said to Jian Mei, “Did you hear that? The baby’s position has been corrected, and he will be out soon. Just hang in there a bit longer.”

“Madam Jian, push harder, the baby is about to come out.”

Jian Mei, looking as if she had been pulled out from the water, still tightly held onto Jiang Peihuan’s hand upon hearing the voice.

“He’s out, he’s out!”

“My baby, where’s my baby?”

Jian Mei’s consciousness began to blur, but upon hearing the midwife’s words, she still looked towards her hands.

Jiang Peihuan also looked over.

The baby was tiny, due to being premature, only the size of a palm, with translucent fingertips.
