Allure of a Country Maiden
Chapter 549 - 547

Chapter 549: 547

Mrs. Di couldn’t help but feel anxious. She needed to find something to distract her attention. She had to find out why Jingya had fallen in the first place!

Seeing the maid from the second door here, Mrs. Di felt puzzled and asked, "Why would Mrs. Lin be here? Do you know how the young mistress fell?"

Upon hearing Mrs. Di’s question, Mrs. Lin immediately knelt down and replied, "Madam, it’s all my fault, here is what happened..."

Mrs. Lin narrated the incident and admitted that the young mistress had fallen due to her carelessness.

"Madams, punish me, I caused the young mistress to give birth prematurely."

Mrs. Lin had made up her mind that if anything happened to the young mistress, she would apologize with her life. After all, the young master once saved her husband’s life. Now she had caused the young mistress to give birth prematurely, and who knew their fate. Mrs. Lin didn’t dare to think any further, she could only feel guilty about facing the young master.

Yingqi also knelt down: "Madams, punish me too, I failed to protect the young mistress."

The general’s wife was furious to hear the story, was it Li Mingfang again! Was it not enough that she had caused Jingya to fall into the lake last time? This time, she was trying to kill Jingya and her baby!

Di Shaowei rushed in, just in time to hear Mrs. Lin’s words. He kicked Mrs. Lin out angrily, his face was pale with rage: "Out!"

"How is this gatehouse maintained? How could they let anyone in so easily!" Madam Li said angrily. Her grandchild and the people from Li family were at odds, almost getting hurt by Li family every time!

"We never encounter anything good when we meet her! Why is she so annoying!" Di Junya, following behind Shaowei, also angrily said.

"How is Jingya now?" Di Shaowei had no interest in being concerned about these matters. These issues can be dealt with later. His thoughts were all focused on the person in the room. His mind was solely concerned about his wife and child. He said this as he rushed towards the door. He wanted to go inside to see how his wife and child were.

God knows how panicked he was when he received the news!

Seeing this, the general’s wife rushed forward to hold him back. "Don’t go in, don’t worry, it will be okay. Jingya just told us not to worry. She will give birth safely."

How could he possibly not be worried!

"Mother, I want to take a look inside. I won’t have ease of mind if I don’t!" Shaowei pulled out his hand and said.

"No, you can’t go in!" In ancient times, it was considered inauspicious for men to enter the delivery room. This was taken even more seriously in the families of generals, who lived on the edge of their swords. The general’s wife desperately held back her son, not letting him in.

At this point, Yingluo also said, "Young Master, the Young Mistress has already taken the child-securing medicine given by the Main Lady of Rui’an County. She should be fine!"

Upon hearing this, Shaowei paused.

Yes, how could he forget Xiao’er! With her around, Jingya and his child would definitely be fine! Xiao’er’s medicine is magical! Desperate, Shaowei asked, "Did anyone send for the Main Lady of Rui’an County at the Marquis Shengping’s mansion?"

He had instructed the maids around Ming Jingya early on that as soon as they found out Ming Jingya was about to give birth, they had to invite the Main Lady of Rui’an County over.

"Someone has already been sent. After the young mistress fell, I was instructed to send someone to invite the Main Lady of Rui’an County." Yingluo responded.

At this time, Xiao’er had just rushed in. She had gone to the suburbs today and when she received the news, she hurried back immediately. Because she rode so fast, the hairpin in her hair had fallen out, making her hair somewhat messy.

"How’s Jingya? Has she given birth yet?" Xiao’er did not have time for formalities and immediately asked Shaowei upon seeing him.

However, at this moment, no one thought she was impolite.

"Not yet, she’s inside. Xiao’er, Jingya won’t be in danger, will she? The child won’t be in danger, will he?" Seeing Xiao’er arrive, Shaowei couldn’t help but voice his deepest concerns.

"Don’t worry, as long as she has a breath left, I can save her. Don’t worry, let me go in and take a look!" Xiao’er patted Shaowei’s arm to comfort him.

Upon hearing this, Shaowei finally managed to let go of his anxiety.

Mrs. Di spoke at this time: "I am grateful to the Main Lady of Rui’an County for her help. However, the delivery room is unclean, and it is not suitable for a young lady like you to enter."

It was likely that the Marquis Shengping’s wife would be displeased if she found out the Main Lady of Rui’an County had entered the delivery room.

"It’s okay, I’ve been there before!" On hearing this, Xiao’er reassured her.

At this moment, a midwife in the room brought out a basin full of bloody water. Xiao’er took the chance to enter, and Shaowei quickly followed her in despite the strong disapproval.

"These two children, why don’t they listen!" the general’s wife was unable to hold them back.

"Forget it, let them go. There is no taboo or prohibition." Mrs. Di finished her words and ordered the maid to prepare a large red envelope for the Main Lady of Rui’an County as a token for good fortune when she came out.

When Xiao’er and Shaowei walked into the delivery room, they found Jingya sweating profusely, with her lower lip even bitten until it bled.

To prevent her from biting her lip further, the midwife had tied a white cloth with a wood stick and placed it in Jingya’s mouth.

Being unable to close her mouth due to the stick would certainly be uncomfortable!

Shaowei quickly rushed to her side, wanting to remove the stick, "Jingya, if you want to bite something, bite me instead."

Jingya shook her head: How did he get in? It was considered inauspicious for men to enter the delivery room, which was such an unclean place.

Jingya couldn’t speak, she could only express her worries through her eyes, indicating him to leave.

Seeing Shaowei enter, the midwife was startled. "Your Highness, you shouldn’t be here, please leave quickly! You don’t want to hinder the young mistress delivering the baby, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Jingya quickly nodded.

Xiao’er saw Jingya biting on the stick and felt sorry for her. She sidestepped, avoiding everyone’s gaze, pretending to pull out a ginseng root as thick as a carrot from her sleeve, intending to give it to Jingya to bite onto.

"Brother Di, please remove the stick from sister-in-law’s mouth first."

Shaowei quickly did as he was told, this was also his intention.

"Shaowei, Xiao’er, you two should leave. This is not a place you should be." After Jingya’s mouth was freed, she spoke anxiously.

Even though Xiao’er considered entering the delivery room a good thing for men, allowing them to witness the pain their wives endured bearing their children, thereby understanding them better.

But Jingya didn’t share the same view and being distracted by Shaowei’s presence could potentially hinder her delivery process.

Hence, Xiao’er said :"Brother Di, since you know Sister Ming is safe, you should leave first. Otherwise, Sister Ming cannot give birth with peace of mind."
