Chapter 1322: Final Chapter Ending Four

"Young Madam, please pull yourself together, the baby is almost out, you must muster your strength and don’t fall asleep!"

In the birthing room, the midwife looked at Liu Tinglan, the young madam of the Shen family, whose cervix had only dilated to three fingers wide and who was already colorless and devoid of any strength, and yelled anxiously, wishing she could give birth to the child for the young madam herself.

At that moment, Liu Tinglan lay disheveled and deathly pale on the bed, her body drenched as if she had just been fished out of water. Her usually bright eyes were now hazed over with a layer of foggy white. She tried hard to move her eyeballs to listen to what the midwife was saying, but it was as if countless bees were buzzing in her ears, preventing her from making out a single word.

Her belly was protruding high, abnormally large, and her lower body had already lost all sensation to pain. Her dry throat was swollen and sore, leaving her without the energy to utter a sound or to respond to the midwife who was desperately trying to deliver her child.

She knew she was in bad shape. She wanted to raise her hand to touch her belly, to know whether her children were still there, to feel if they would chase after her hand as they usually did, play with her, and roll around mischievously inside her, kicking her now and then to let her know they were strong and lively.

But now, she didn’t even have the strength to move her fingers!

Was she going to die? She couldn’t reconcile herself to this fate; her children had not yet been born. She didn’t know if they were boys or girls, hadn’t heard them call her "mother"... And that man, her husband, she wouldn’t see him one last time?

She truly couldn’t reconcile herself to this!

"Uncle, Aunt, Zhuzhu didn’t mean to do it, Zhuzhu really didn’t mean it..."

In the courtyard outside the birthing room, Lu Zhu, dressed in a silver white brocade blouse with blue embroidery, knelt on the ground in disarray, sobbing and pleading to Father Shen and Mother Shen, who were anxiously fretting inside the house, yet her eyes showed not a hint of remorse.

Seeing that Father Shen and Mother Shen were preoccupied with the birthing room where no cries had yet emerged, and not at all concerned with her, Lu Zhu didn’t care the slightest, feeling nothing but sheer satisfaction.

Was that wretched woman finally going to die? How wonderful! Despite being born into a Scholar’s family, pampered by both parents, she was still not content and dared to steal her cousin, as well as Uncle’s and Aunt’s affection. Such a wretch deserved to die long ago!

Dead or barely alive, what did it matter if she had deliberately pushed that wretched woman to her death, along with her unborn children? If she couldn’t spend her life with the cousin she loved, scorned by the dearest Uncle and Aunt, what was the point in continuing such a tasteless existence? It was better to take ruthless revenge on the wretch who had destroyed all her happiness and make her taste the agony of losing her own flesh and blood, of losing everything!

Inside the house, Father Shen and Mother Shen paced back and forth in anxiety, blind to Lu Zhu’s wailing, completely unable to deal with the chief culprit.

"My Lord, what are we going to do, what are we going to do," sobbed Madame Shen, covering her mouth as she watched basin after basin of bloody water continuously poured out. She had already been asked by the midwife to choose between the life of the mother and the child. She was both concerned for the suffering daughter-in-law and for her unborn grandchildren, wishing she could rush in to see for herself.

"It will be alright, it will be alright, our daughter-in-law will surely pull through..." Father Shen rubbed his hands unsure if he was comforting his wife or himself. Having lived for several decades, casting aside his naive childhood, he felt uneasy and fearful for the first time.

Especially considering that the entire day’s disasters stemmed from him, Elder Mr. Shen was filled with regret that made him want to bash his head against the wall: "It’s all my fault, all of this is my fault! Had I not allowed her to come in, how could she have harmed my daughter-in-law, harmed our poor grandchildren, it’s all my fault!"

Noticing her husband’s unusual emotional state, Mother Shen’s heart clenched, and she consoled him: "My Lord, you mustn’t let your mind wander, this is not your fault at all! Who would have thought she’d be so vicious as to push our daughter-in-law to the ground, trying to kill her and her unborn triplets!"

As she spoke, Mother Shen lifted her head and glared at Lu Zhu, who was still crying and pleading, wishing to rush over and tear her apart. Gone was the former affection and tolerance she had for her only niece.

No matter how dear the niece was, she was not as dear as her grandchildren; no matter how important the niece, she would eventually become a daughter-in-law to another family, but the daughter-in-law was their own. Now that their daughter-in-law had been harmed to such an extent by their niece, also endangering the unborn grandchildren and leaving them unable to justify themselves to their relatives and their son, how could Mother Shen not hate her?
