Chapter 119: Evil?

single detail.Master Jianzhen touched Li Ge'er's waist, his eyes narrowed. Then, he really took out a small packet."!!"He immediately held it up so everyone could see. Brother Li's brows furrowed ins...The young apprentice immediately got up and led An Xuetang and the pregnant woman into an examination room.

"After laying the woman on the bed, An Xuetang turned to the medicine boy who was about to leave and said, "I'll stay here and keep her company. You go find a midwife, and tell someone to boil some hot water. As for the money, just ask the man outside – don't be polite."

The medicine boy was startled at first, then nodded. "Yes."

He didn't know why, but he subconsciously followed An Xue Tang's words as if he had always listened to her before.

"Miss, miss, please save my child!" After the medicine boy left, the woman grabbed An Xue Tang's hand and spoke anxiously.

An Xuetang patted her hand, "Relax, it's just childbirth, nothing will happen."

After she finished speaking, she began to help the woman remove her clothes. It was the woman's first childbirth, so she didn't know much about what to do. An Xue Tang patiently taught her step by step.

To ease her nervousness, she occasionally interjected with off-topic remarks, "Lady and the adults outside look quite old, why are they only having a child now"

The woman shook her head, “I want to too, but I’m not feeling well. It took me a long time to adjust my health with medicine.”

"Actually, Madam's body is quite well-regulated. As long as you relax and take it slow, neither you nor the child in your womb will be harmed."

The woman felt her anxiety ease as if she'd taken a calming pill after hearing this.

The medicine boy moved quickly. He had the kitchen woman boil water and also called back the midwife.

As soon as the midwife entered, An Xuetang had her sit at the foot of the bed and instructed her on how to exert force for the pregnant woman.

The maid who accompanied the pregnant woman knelt beside the bed, constantly wiping sweat from her brow.

An Xue Tang was free now, this child's position was good, as long as the expectant mother listened to the midwife's words well, there shouldn't be any problems.

Just as she was feeling bored and thinking of going out, the pregnant woman suddenly let out a loud cry.

The midwife was startled, "Madam, you can't push from above! You have to push with force in the right place. Your water broke some time ago, if the baby isn't born soon, both you and the child will be in danger."

The pregnant woman cried, "I... I don't know why, I can't do it. You have to save my child."

An Xuetang narrowed her eyes slightly. She looked thoughtfully at the handkerchief in the maid's hand, and after a moment of silence, An Xuetang rushed over, grabbed the maid by the collar from behind, and pulled her onto the table in the room.

The table instantly split in half!

Both the midwife and the pregnant woman were stunned, staring blankly at An Xuetang.

An Xuetang quickly took out her silver needles and pricked them at the acupoints of the pregnant woman, while she asked, “Do you know any medical skills, this maid”

"!" The pregnant woman widened her eyes. "What did you say"

"The reason you're feeling so weak is because she just tampered with your acupuncture points. You were only focused on the pain in your stomach, so you didn't even realize she was using needles on you."

"An Xuetang, as she spoke, continued to give her acupuncture while steadying her abdomen. “Don’t get too excited now. Try to cooperate with the midwife's instructions and continue pushing. Let's first get the baby out.”

If the amniotic sac ruptures and the baby is not born within a reasonable time, there is a high risk of the baby suffocating.

With the urgency of the situation, the expectant mother cooperated with the midwife with all her might.

After a quarter of an hour, the baby's head finally emerged, followed by a safe delivery!

The midwife chuckled and said, "Congratulations, madam. You've given birth to a healthy baby boy."

Hearing the child's cry, the pregnant woman finally let out a sigh of relief and smiled through her tears, "Thank you, thank you."

An Xuetang merely nodded slightly, without saying anything.

The midwife cleaned up after the delivery, and An Xue Tang was responsible for holding the baby for the woman.

During this time, the maidservant wanted to run away, but An Xuetang had already sealed her acupoints, leaving her unable to move.

This acupuncture technique was still taught to An Xuetang by Mo Yunjing.

An Xuetang had no internal energy, so she couldn't use her hands to apply pressure points. She could only rely on silver needles.

After the midwife had taken care of the woman, An Xue Tang handed the baby to her before going to open the door and let the adults in.

Seeing the mother and child safe, the adult's eyes welled with tears. "Madam, it's wonderful, you and our son are both alright."

"Master, thanks to this young lady, my son and I wouldn't be alive today."

Upon hearing his wife say this in such a serious tone, the man's face changed. "What do you mean, my wife"

Then the lady gestured for him to look at the maidservant standing not far behind her.

The maid hung her head low, motionless. The master frowned, "Hong'er, what is wrong"

His wife let out a cold snort, "Husband, do you know that Hong'er can practice medicine"

"What" The adult clearly didn't know, "Could Hong'er possibly be a doctor"

"Master, when I was giving birth, Hong'er used needles to prick my acupuncture points, weakening me so much that I almost died. Thankfully, that maid intervened and subdued her in time, or else you would never have seen us mother and child again."

After the madam finished speaking, the midwife whispered, “Master and Madam, there is something I feel it’s necessary for you to know.”

Everyone looked at the midwife. The midwife was frightened, but she still mustered her courage and spoke, "Ma'am, your waters broke strangely. Your due date shouldn't be today."

As for this, the lady was aware. She simply nodded slightly, "That's right, the doctor we had at home before our departure also said so. Logically speaking, I should not be due until next month."

That means the child is a premature baby!

However, the child was born quite healthy and did not show any of the typical deficiencies seen in premature babies.

An Xuetang gave the maid a thoughtful look. "If you want to know the answer, why not ask her Perhaps she knows."

"The madam's eyes widened. "Are you saying my water will break because of this maid"

"I'm just guessing, of course, but I believe Master and Mistress will find a way to get it out of him."

"Having said that, An Xuetang bowed to them and said, “Since the madam’s body is unharmed, then I will take my leave.”

This man disliked An Xuetang's confident and arrogant attitude. When An Xuetang said she was leaving, he didn't intend to say anything. He just took out a purse and took out two ounces of silver, "This is the reward for the young lady."

"..."

Two ounces of silver

An Xuetang curled her lips. If she really wanted silver, wouldn't two taels be enough

However, she did not refuse either. She took the silver and mumbled a thank you before turning to leave.

"Wait, miss." The lady in bed spoke weakly, "You haven't told us your name. When I recover, I will certainly visit and thank you personally."

"I am but a country girl, not worthy of your concern."

After An Xue Tang finished speaking, she left without hesitation.tioned to Shuangshuang. Secondly, the child had always been very quiet in the manor, not actively participating in anything or asking questions.So she had nothing to suspect.Just her twin's behavior t...
