Chapter 69: Childbirth
One
Xiao Wu tugged in vain at the servant who broke through the door: "Do you know what kind of place this is?" Disturb Madame, you can't afford to eat! ”
Shen Qingluo looked at Qingluan quietly: "Second lady, don't come unharmed." ”
Qingluan bowed slightly: "It's a last resort to disturb my sister's purity." As he spoke, he raised his chin: "What are you still doing in a daze!" ”
The family members behind him rushed up, chaotic, and went straight to Shen Qingluo.
Shen Qingluo shouted: "Presumptuous! Who dares to go wild! ”
At a glance, they were all unfamiliar faces.
Most of the servants were intimidated by the majesty of the lady, and most of them stopped and looked back at the second lady.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Qingluo tried her best to restrain herself.
Qingluan looked at Shen Qingluo's high bulging abdomen: "Sister, you are hiding here and quiet, don't want to know what happened outside?" ”
Shen Qingluo said lightly: "I don't care about the outside world at all. ”
Qingluan smiled: "Really? Don't you even care about the life and death of your own mother? ”
Shen Qingluo frowned slightly: "What do you mean??" ”
Qingluan shook his head and sighed: "No one told you about such a big thing, it's really pitiful." ”
Shen Qingluo's face changed slightly: "What's the matter?" ”
Qingluan stared into her eyes and said slowly, "The eldest mother is dead." ”
Her words were very soft, but in Shen Qingluo's ears, they were no less than earth-shattering thunder: "You are talking nonsense!" My mother is fine, and I sent someone to say hello the day before yesterday. ”
Qingluan sneered: "Go to the Netherworld Mansion to ask for peace?" ”
Shen Qingluo's head slammed, and she turned her face to look at Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu? ”
Xiao Wu lowered his head, not daring to look her eyes.
Shen Qingluo trembled: "Xiao Wu, what are you going to say?" ”
Xiao Wu couldn't hide it, took a few steps forward, and knelt down: "Madam, you want to mourn." ”
Shen Qingluo was dizzy and held her forehead with her hand: "You lied to me!" ”
Xiao Wu cried: "The villain doesn't dare to say it." The lord told the whole house, whoever wants to say it, it will stimulate the lady, and it will not matter if he is killed. ”
"When?" Shen Qingluo barely supported it.
"After the Dragon Boat Festival." Xiao Wu replied in a low voice.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, it was the time when Nagumo imprisoned himself.
"Prepare the car, I'm going out." Shen Qingluo said painfully.
"I advise you not to go." Qingluan was infinitely sad: "I'm afraid you won't be able to stand this blow." Besides, you don't even have a place to cry. ”
Shen Qingluo said angrily: "Something happened to your mother's family, and you are still sneering here, are you still human?" It's your mother-in-law! ”
With a hint of ridicule on the corner of her mouth, Qingluan slowly approached, and in her ear, said in a very low voice: "She is not my mother-in-law. It has nothing to do with me. I forgot to tell you, my surname is not Shen. ”
Shen Qingluo was stunned.
Qingluan used a vicious tone: "Do you know how your mother died?" It was burned. ”
Shen Qingluo's heart trembled: "What did you say?" ”
Qingluan took a step back and looked around: "Everyone here knows that it's only you alone. Three months ago, the Shen Mansion ran out of water, and the fire burned for three days and three nights, and even the palace was alarmed. ”
She continued in a cruel tone: "There are dozens of people in the Shen Mansion, and none of them can escape. ”
Shen Qingluo couldn't stand and almost fainted. She can accept the sad news of her mother's death, but she can't be in such a cruel way.
So, mother, I haven't even found my bones.
"You killed your mother, and you're still pretending to be sad here!" Qingluan said loudly: "You are the culprit!" ”
Shen Qingluo's eyes widened in surprise, she had not recovered from her sadness and despair, and immediately fell into anger and confusion.
"The day before yesterday, because the old lady had been ill for a long time, I personally asked Master Huihong for blessings, and the master told me that because there were demons hiding in the house, the old lady would linger on the sickbed. Have you ever heard of it? On the day the old lady moved the grave, the master compass encountered a demon and became a policeman, just because Shen Qingluo was possessed by a demon! Qingluan pointed at Shen Qingluo, and her voice was fierce.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Shen Qingluo, as soon as you were born, you killed the mother-in-law who delivered the baby, you killed your brother, your father, and dozens of people in the Shen Mansion, and now, your mother-in-law is seriously ill, do you still want to kill your husband?" Qingluan looked back at everyone: "Do you remember the fire in the Shen Mansion?" She's going to kill everyone around her! ”
The crowd looked at each other with fear and anger on their faces.
Qingluan pointed at Shen Qingluo: "If the demons are not removed, the house will be difficult to settle." It is for this reason that the lord imprisoned her in the lily garden, but the lord cared about the old feelings and couldn't bear to harm her, just to raise a tiger for trouble. It's going to be October soon, and the first day of the new year is Halloween, and it's also the day of monster infestment, beware of her taking this opportunity to perform witchcraft and harm everyone. She raised the yellow talisman in her hand: "I invited Master Huihong's spirit talisman, Huihong is a high-ranking monk, don't you still believe it?" Attach this talisman to her belly - she is pregnant with a little demon in her belly, and once born, it will be like a tiger with wings. Come on, get her! ”
All the servants rushed up, holding down Shen Qingluo.
Xiao Wu's eyes were red in a hurry, and he desperately stepped forward to fight, but he couldn't help but be outnumbered.
"Stop!" A cry of applause was like a thunderclap.
Nagumo strode in and shouted, "What nonsense! ”
Qingluan saw Nanyun and panicked: "Master, didn't you go to Tongguan?" ”
Nan Yunli ignored it, helped Shen Qingluo up, and comforted: "It's not hurt, right?" ”
Shen Qingluo raised her hand and slapped him in the face hard: "Beast! ”
Nanyun held a hot face and looked at her in amazement.
Shen Qingluo's eyes almost dripped blood: "You set fire to my mother!" ”
Nanyun was surprised: "Why did Madame say that? ”
"Yes, it was three months ago, you imprisoned me outside the city, you left for three days and three nights, and when you came back, your clothes were not changed, and they were all scorched black, and you had scorched dust hidden in your hands, even your nails were hidden in the scorched dust, you said that you met a family and walked away from the water, that family, is it the Shen family? You are so ruthless, in order to force me to hand over my property, you did not hesitate to use your own flesh and blood as a threat, bribed Ah San to pollute my innocence, and when I saw that I refused, you actually burned my mother to death to vent your hatred. I'm fighting with you! Shen Qingluo said, desperate to pounce.
Nagumo dodged and argued, "I didn't set the fire!" ”
Shen Qingluo scolded: "It's not you, who else!" ”
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this, and even Qingluan almost forgot his original purpose.
It turns out that the truth in this is so unbearable.
Nanyun couldn't argue, just blindly dodged.
Shen Qingluo threw herself into the air and sat down on the ground.
Xiao Rong stepped forward to hug Shen Qingluo and cried: "It turns out that you have been wronged like this!" ”
Shen Qingluo burst into tears, and her heart was like a knife.
My mother died tragically, but I pity myself for knowing nothing.
"Blood!" Xiao Rong exclaimed.
Under Shen Qingluo, a pool of bright red blood stained her skirt red.
"My stomach hurts." Shen Qingluo's face was distorted by pain: "I think I'm going to give birth." ”
Nanyun's heart sank, and he turned around and ordered the family next to him: "Go and invite the midwife!" Be quick! ”
The family pulled out their legs and ran out.
"Whoever steps into the lily garden today will be beaten with twenty sticks, and removed half a year's silver as a small punishment, and if it happens next time, it will not be spared! Don't quit yet! Nagumo said sharply.
The crowd timidly dispersed.
Qingluan held the yellow talisman in his hand, demented, and silent.
"Chen Fu, call a few more old maids to wait." Nanyun commanded while bending down to pick up Shen Qingluo.
Shen Qingluo was still strongly resisting Nanyun in pain. She shook off his hand vigorously: "Don't worry about it! ”
Nanyun was angry and anxious: "When is it, you are still playing with your temper!" This is my son! ”
Shen Qingluo sneered: "Didn't you say, don't you want this evil seed to defile your lintel?" ”
Nanyun stammered, watching Jin Zi and Xiao Rong support Shen Qingluo step by step into the house.
Bloodstains, like a long snake that winds its way, gnawed at his heart.
There was a "clang" and the door was slammed shut.
Nagumo sat down slowly on the stone steps.
This moment was both what he was looking forward to and what he was afraid of.
If you give birth to a healthy child, everyone will be happy, but if you give birth to a monster, what should you do?
No one knows better than him that this child is his own flesh and blood.
Everything he did was just to force Shen Qingluo to comply.
He couldn't tell her that what he had personally fed into her mouth that day was not a fetal pill, but just rice noodles.
The midwife soon hurried over, and as soon as she entered the garden gate, she began to shout: "It's still early, why is it about to give birth!" ”
Nanyun greeted him and said anxiously: "Mama, please go and take a look, I think it's ahead of time." ”
The mother-in-law looked at the blood stains all over the ground: "Oh, it's red." ”
Nan Yun looked at the midwife hesitantly: "Mama, Nan has something to ask for." ”
The mother-in-law knocked on the door and said, "Please tell me if you have something to say." ”
Nanyun mustered up his courage and was about to speak, when the door suddenly opened, and Yinzi showed half of his face: "Is it a midwife?" Come on in. ”
The mother-in-law entered in response, and Nanyun wanted to follow in, but was stopped by Yinzi reaching out: "Master, Madame doesn't want to see you." Besides, it is inauspicious for a woman to give birth, and a man to see it. ”
The door closed again.
Nanyun's face sank like water, and when he looked back, he saw Qingluan leaning awkwardly against the flower bed, still holding the yellow talisman in his hand, and for a while, he was angry: "How much money did this talisman cost you?" It's worth a lot of money. He said contemptuously.
Qingluan opened his mouth and stammered: "Master." ”
"I don't need you here, you can go back." He said lightly: "Again, without my permission, you are not allowed to set foot in this garden in the future." ”
Qingluan looked depressed and stood up straight silently.
"It turns out that you didn't go to Tongguan because you didn't worry about her." She turned and walked away. The yellow talisman was discarded on the ground.
Nanyun picked up the yellow talisman and sighed slightly.
Chen Fu stood quietly aside, not daring to make a sound.
Two
The night was as cool as water, the starry sky was full of stars, and Nanyun leaned on the railing outside the corridor, not the slightest sleep.
Chen Fu took a cloak and draped it on Nanyun: "Master, you better go next door and rest for a while." ”
Nagumo didn't seem to hear it, and just lowered his head and thought about it.
I don't know how long later, a loud baby cry pierced the silent night sky.
Nagumo's heart sank.
"Born, born!" The maid's cry of surprise came from the house.
Nanyun immediately rushed to the door and slammed the door loudly: "Open the door!" Open the door! ”
After a stick of incense, the door opened, and the midwife appeared at the door with a tightly wrapped baby.
"It's a little boy," the mother-in-law paused, "It's just-"
"Just what?" Nanyun's heart tightened, and a wave of killing intent surged into his heart.
"It's just that I've lost a little weight, and I've been born more than a month prematurely!" The mother-in-law said regretfully.
Nagumo's heart was relieved.
The mother-in-law gently lifted the swaddling clothes, and a white, tender and pink baby appeared in front of Nanyun.
The baby, clenching his palms, closed his eyes, his little chest heaving as he breathed.
Nagumo couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart: "My son. ”
The mother-in-law smiled: "There will be rare opportunities in the future." I'm going to hug it in. ”
Nanyun stretched out his hand: "Wait!"
The mother-in-law was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”
Nanyun said calmly: "Chen Fu, show Mama the way." ”
Chen Fu agreed: "Mama, please come with me." ”
The midwife said suspiciously: "Holding the little boy? ”
Nagumo smiled: "Exactly." The clumsy body is thin, and it may be difficult to raise children. The family has already invited a nurse, you just have to go with Steward Chen. ”
The midwife looked back at the house, as if she wanted to say something, Chen Fu said in a low voice: "Mama, the child was born safely, and your task has been completed." The master's reward will definitely not be less. ”
The midwife suddenly smiled: "Yes." Xiao Yinyin followed Chen Fu.
Nanyun watched her mother-in-law go away, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
Count your old woman's life as a big deal. He thought, if the child is different, the first person to kill is you.
And not a single person in this room will be left alive. And, of course, the newborn baby.
Fortunately, none of this happened.
Heaven bless.
Despite this, a question still exists in my heart: after taking a bath, will he grow a fish tail like his mother?
He suddenly understood that back then, the reason why the midwife who delivered Shen Qingluo was killed must have been found abnormality in the bath.
So, what will happen to this child?
The heart that had just been relaxed did not feel that it was hanging again.
Pushing open the hidden door, he stepped in softly.
The curtain hung low, and Shen Qingluo, who gave birth, was pale and calm, sleeping on the wide bed.
When she woke up tomorrow morning, if she didn't see the child, she didn't know what she would do.
But, forgive me, I really can't leave my son to you to nurse.
Just because, you're a demon.
After eating the demon's milk, his son can never leave the demon world again.
