Chapter 1: Twin Orphans

Next Chapter

"Ah......" The woman lying on the bed in the side room grabbed the quilt tightly with both hands, beads of sweat on her forehead like rain, and a strong abdominal pain made her can't help but cry out.

"Sister Lian, if you endure it a little longer, the midwife will be here soon!" A thirteen or fourteen-year-old maid beside the bed guarded her helplessly, her eyes frequently looking at the door, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the midwife.

After receiving an urgent call from the little maid in Pingxi Houfu, the most famous midwife in Pingxi City, Yin's mother-in-law rushed to Houfu. As soon as he walked to the door of the delivery room, he was stopped by Mrs. Pingxi Hou, who was already waiting on the side.

"Hidden mother-in-law and slow!" Shaw took two steps forward to block the door of the delivery room.

Granny Yin saluted respectfully, and asked puzzledly, "What does Madame command?" ”

The corners of Shao's mouth were half arced, and the jade hand with a gold bracelet pulled over Granny Yin's arm, and said with a mysterious expression: "Mother-in-law, please speak further!" ”

Shaw said, pulling her aside to the sparsely populated area.

Shaw smiled and said, "I know that my mother-in-law is the most skilled midwife in Quanping Xicheng. I want to ask my mother-in-law to do something for me, and if it is done, the reward will be doubled. ”

Granny Yin looked at the Shaw Clan's uncertain expression and was puzzled.

"Now the maid waiting for my mother-in-law in the room to deliver is the maid of the mansion, and she is also the maid who married into the Hou mansion with me. My mother-in-law should have heard that I have been married to the Hou Mansion for so many years and have never given birth to an heir. Now she is favored and pregnant with the child of the Hou Ye, but after all, her status is low, and it is difficult to be a concubine. Didn't the ancestors always have the saying of 'leaving a son to kill a mother'? The mother-in-law only needs to sit down and confirm that she died of dystocia. As for the child in her womb, if it is a boy, it will be kept, and if it is a girl, it will be disposed of. It's a piece of cake for the mother-in-law. If my mother-in-law can handle this matter well, I will naturally not treat my mother-in-law badly. Shaw lowered his voice and whispered in Granny Yin's ear.

Granny Yin was shocked, with a panicked look on her face, and hurriedly excused herself: "The old body has always only saved people, not harmed people's lives!" ”

Shaw's eyes squinted, and he was fierce and threatening.

"Hou Ye has not returned, if I tell Hou Ye that you killed the lives of the mother and child in the room, do you think he will believe it?" Shaw sneered.

Pingxi Hou covered the sky with one hand in Pingxi City, and Pingxi Hou's wife Shao Shi is the cousin of Shao Guiren, the emperor's favorite concubine. After thinking about it, Granny Yin was forced to nod.

Only then did Shaw have a satisfied smile on his face.

In the delivery room, the woman screamed heartbreakingly, seeing that from noon to evening, she still did not see the hidden mother-in-law come out. The woman's screams upset Shaw, so he ordered the maid to guard the door, and he sat down in the courtyard not far away to rest.

"If the girl uses her strength and strength, the child will come out soon!" Granny Yin knelt on her knees at the end of the bed, trying her best to soothe her.

After a while, the child finally showed his head.

"It's out! It's out! ”

With a baby's cry, a beautiful boy croaks to the ground.

Granny Yin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but she saw a child gradually popping up in the woman's belly.

The woman is still like a knife, and the hardships of childbirth make her gradually lose the strength to scream.

"Girl, try harder, don't give up!"

The woman who gave birth on the bed tried her best to give her last strength, and the second child was finally born.

Granny Yin looked at it and saw the two children in her arms with identical faces, a boy and a girl, very cute.

The sweat of the woman on the bed had already soaked the brocade quilt, and the bloodless lips on her pale face opened slightly, and she said weakly: "Mother-in-law, I want to see the child!" ”

Granny Yin hurriedly carried the child to the woman.

"Congratulations, it's the dragon and phoenix!" Granny Yin looked at the woman on the bed who was as angry as a gossamer, her heart was like a knife, and she said with a forced smile on her face.

"Mother-in-law!" The woman suddenly grabbed her hand, struggled to sit up, and muttered: "Lian'er knows that her life is not long in coming, and she only wants a man, but I am afraid that my daughter will ......" The woman suddenly choked up, and tears rained down.

"If Madame refuses to keep my daughter, Lian'er begs her mother-in-law to save her life, and I will die without regrets!" The woman held her body and kowtowed repeatedly.

"I can't help it, I can't help it! The old woman promises you that as long as the old woman still has a breath of air, she will be sure to be thorough! Granny Yin tearfully agreed.

"Give your daughter a name!" The Hidden Mother-in-law handed the baby girl to the woman's arms, and the woman looked at the infant daughter, and then looked at the baby boy in the arms of the Hidden Mother-in-law, and her tears were like beads.

"Pity you, although you were born into a rich family, you are an orphan girl. I can't share your brother's blessings, and as a beautiful woman, I am abandoned as a burden! Let's call you 'Jewel'! May you one day be able to decorate the lintel and fight for your life in vain. Looking at the baby in his arms, he wept silently.

"Girl, it's not early, Madame is still waiting outside the door, and I must take the child out. Don't worry, I will send you out of the Hou Mansion safely! Although Granny Yin couldn't bear it, she still opened her mouth to remind.

The woman reluctantly handed over the child to the hidden mother-in-law. Just as Granny Hide the baby girl in the basket, the woman stared away.

Granny Yin forcibly suppressed the tears in her eyes and went out with the baby boy in her arms.

Shaw Brothers was overjoyed when he saw that the woman finally died as she wished, and when she saw that Granny Yin had brought out a handsome baby boy.

The Shaw family wanted to give Granny Yin two ingots of gold, but she refused.

The wind was high and the moon was bright, and the hidden mother-in-law carried the basket and left the house safely, which was a long sigh of relief.

Under the moonlight, looking at the sweet sleeping of the baby girl in the basket, Granny Yin couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.
