Chapter 537: Chapter 537 Little Master_1

"Ma Po, step aside."

Seeing that she still wanted to stop him, Shen Wenchen simply sidestepped her and rushed in.

Lying on the bed in utter pain, Nanzhi felt slightly more at ease when she saw Shen Wenchen come in.

"Has Ma Po arrived?"

"She’s here, she’s here, I’m here too, don’t worry, everything will be fine."

Shen Wenchen held Nanzhi firmly, but the only thing he could do now was to stay by her side.

The whole residence came alive all at once.

The kitchen kept sending hot water into the courtyard, and the Lin Family along with Ming Qin also rushed over.

Lin’s mother and Chen Qiulan went into the house, while Shen Miaomiao and Ming Qin stayed outside in the courtyard with Yuanbao.

"Mother."

Seeing Lin’s mother come in, Shen Wenchen wasn’t sure if he should stand up and yield his place. But after only a moment of hesitation, he remained firmly rooted to his stool.

No, he must accompany Nanzhi through her delivery.

"You go and let mother come over."

Nanzhi cast him off and gestured for Lin’s mother to come over.

Shen Wenchen’s face fell, but he could only reluctantly get up and move to the side.

"Nanzhi, how are you feeling now?"

Lin’s mother immediately grabbed Nanzhi’s hand with a face full of worry.

"I’m fine, Mother. It’s just a bit painful."

The contractions rolled in waves. When the pain flared up, it was unbearable. When it eased, Nanzhi felt like she had reached heaven.

"The pain is normal. Save your energy, understand?"

"I understand."

Li Zhouzhou nodded before turning her gaze back towards Shen Wenchen sitting nearby.

"Wenchen."

"What’s the matter?"

Upon hearing Nanzhi call him, he dropped his sullen expression and hurriedly leaned closer.

"I’m hungry, I want to eat eggs."

"Okay, I’ll go to the kitchen."

After finishing his sentence, Shen Wenchen quickly rushed out the door. Those waiting in the courtyard were taken aback when the door suddenly opened and closed. Just when they were about to ask what had happened, they saw Shen Wenchen leap over the courtyard wall and disappear from their view.

"What is my brother-in-law doing...?"

Lin Yicheng was taken aback, as he was the first to recognize that it was his brother-in-law.

"Looking at the direction he went, he must be heading towards the kitchen."

Lin Ercheng was also startled.

Shen Zhiyu tightly pursed her lips, her face taut with worry.

"Zhiyu, don’t worry, your aunt will be fine."

Seeing the worry in his younger brother, Lin Zihan assured him with a pat on his shoulder.

"That’s right, Zhiyu, don’t worry too much." Lin Jian also followed suit.

"Hmm."

The little boy nodded, his gaze still glued to the house door.

Nanzhi’s cries of pain echoed occasionally from within the room – a sound that was, in a way, a relief to those outside.

This was unlike during Sun Cui’s labor, indicating that the birth was proceeding smoothly.

Inside the room, Lin’s mother was continuously comforting Nanzhi, advising her to save her energy for pushing later on.

"Nanzhi, rest assured, nothing will go wrong. Heed Ma Po’s advice later, okay? Push when you should. Don’t mess it up."

"I know, Mother."

Ma Po touched Nanzhi’s belly, letting out a sigh of relief afterward.

"The baby is in the correct position, so childbirth will be easier, but madam needs to save more energy, preferably able to deliver in one push."

"Did you hear that? You need to save up more energy."

Lin’s mother kept repeating herself, but her trembling lips were not unnoticed by Nanzhi.

"Mother, don’t worry, I understand everything."

She thought she would be the most nervous one, turns out it was her mother.

Nanzhi began to regret letting her in.

What if she cries too bitterly while giving birth to her child?

Would her mother’s heart ache and cry along with her?

Last time her sister-in-law was in labor, her mother cried too.

"Mother, you must stay calm; you have to cheer me on later."

Chen Qiulan said, trying to calm her down.

Shen Wenchen moved swiftly, taking the egg as soon as Ms. Zhao finished steaming it.

He also took with him a bowl of ginseng soup.

Everyone was used to seeing him at the top of the wall, watching as he went inside the house again.

Nanzhi felt the onset of another contraction as she tried to speak, her brow furrowed and her forehead dripping with tiny beads of sweat.

As soon as the contraction passed, Nanzhi quickly waved her hand.

"Quick, quick, quick, bring the egg over!"

Shen Wenchen hurried to the bed with the egg, watching as Nanzhi wolfed it down, he finally relaxed a little.

"I also brought ginseng soup, you should quickly drink some."

"No need to... it’s going to hurt again..."

Nanzhi shook her head and just as she finished speaking, she cried out in pain again.

As the wave of pain passed, Shen Wenchen quickly brought the soup to her.

After drinking half a bowl of ginseng soup, Nanzhi glared at the bowl, he quickly took the soup away.

As expected, she cried out in pain again the next second.

This continued for half an hour, rendering Nanzhi’s complexion pale as paper.

"It’s coming, it’s coming, Madam, push hard!"

Ma Po suddenly spoke up, prompting everyone to get their spirits up.

"Is she about to give birth?"

Shen Wenchen timidly asked.

"What else!"

Nanzhi cried out in between screams of pain.

"Madam, don’t talk, push!"

Nanzhi felt like she was using the last of her strength; her whole body felt completely exhausted.

Fortunately, the baby was in the correct position and she applied her strength in the right places, making the delivery somewhat smooth.

Feeling the baby slide out of her body, Nanzhi felt one thing.

Relief!

"It’s out, it’s out! It’s a little boy!"

Ma Po skillfully cut the umbilical cord and washed the baby clean with warm water before handing the swaddled child to Shen Wenchen.

The little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, his whole body was red, his eyes staring at Shen Wenchen; suddenly, he burst into tears.

Unsure why the child was crying, Shen Wenchen looked somewhat flustered.

Nanzhi found his shocked expression amusing from her position on the bed.

Before he had much chance to hold the child, they heard frantic knocking on the door.

"General, they’re attacking the city!"

Everyone knew who ’they’ referred to.

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Wenchen handed the baby to Mrs. Lin, then went to Nanzhi’s bedside and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Nannan, wait for me to come back."

"Okay, be careful."

Nanzhi nodded, watching as he reluctantly left the room.

"Mother, take the baby out to show father and the others."

"Alright, alright."

Mrs. Lin took the baby out, shoved the little one into Mr. Lin’s hands, and then returned to the room.

The three of them washed Nanzhi together, then let her get some sleep.

Shen Wenchen stormed out of the city master’s residence, his aura murderous.

In the past, those monsters would operate separately at different city gates.

But today, they were all gathered together, prepared for a siege.

There was no longer any food left outside the city; they had to infiltrate.

In their previous attempts, they had ascertained that no reinforcements would randomly show up from the other city gates. If they concentrated their forces here, they would eventually break through.
