At the critical moment, it was Granny Ma who reacted quickly. She stomped her foot abruptly and rushed out to call a few midwives.
As she ran, she didn't forget to instruct the maids in the courtyard to boil hot water.
Soon, the courtyard that had been slightly quiet became chaotic with footsteps.
Xie Wanqing was sent into the delivery room.
She had been afraid of pain since she was young. During the ten months of pregnancy, the child was well-behaved, so she didn't feel it. But now, as she approached childbirth, she finally felt the fear.
As someone who has died once, she is inevitably still afraid of death.
She was both in pain and frightened, not even aware that Pei Yuqing had followed her into the delivery room.
It was the voices of Granny Ma and several midwives that woke her up, realizing she had been holding someone's sleeve all along.
She hurriedly let go and said in a trembling voice, "You should go out, I'm going to give birth."
...You're scared, I'm here with you.
