Chapter 257 Safe Production
Even though he was a little annoyed, the emperor couldn't spare the time to see him in his busy schedule, so he could only wait for the next opportunity.
…………
Cui is about to give birth.
Because Cui was pregnant with twins, she never thought about giving birth to a full-term baby.
On New Year's Eve, Yuxiu had just paid the wages to Li Xiao and his group, and gave each of them a piece of smoked meat and a sausage. After sending those smiling people away, she returned home and heard that Cui had started to have a stomachache.
Coincidentally, Xu Qinghe was invited to the Ning Wang Mansion today, leaving only Old Lady Cui to accompany Cui Shi in the mansion.
But no one was nervous, because the midwives that Cui had trained before were already able to take on tasks on their own.
These days they have gone out alone to deliver babies, and both mother and child were safe without any problems. Now that their own master is about to give birth, the women are even more concerned.
Cui was quickly helped into the prepared delivery room and laid down. All the necessary things were taken out and disinfected again. For example, the small blankets and clothes needed for the baby were kept by Old Lady Cui, and had been washed and put away long ago, so they could be taken out and used directly.
Because they have two children, they prepared two large baskets of diapers these days, all of which are made of soft cotton cloth, which made Mrs. Cui very distressed.
However, for the sake of her two older grandsons, she did not stop them even though she felt distressed. Instead, she helped with the cutting.
Yuxiu was a little nervous and stayed in the delivery room to talk to Mrs. Cui. Even when Mrs. Cui wanted to chase her out, she refused to leave.
"Oh, you stubborn girl, your mother is fine, nothing happened to her. How can you, a little girl, stay in a place like this? Go outside and wait. When your mother gives birth, your grandmother will call you..."
Old Mrs. Cui chased Yuxiu away several times but she refused to leave. She just stood by Cui's bed with her eyes wide open, which made Mrs. Cui feel both amused and helpless.
"Mom, the child is a little scared, let her stay here for a while. Anyway, my stomachache is not that severe now, so I probably won't be able to give birth so soon..."
Cui could feel the fear in the little girl's eyes, so she reached out and patted her little hand and comforted her with a few words.
Yuxiu had actually tried her best not to show it, but the fear in her eyes could not be deceived.
She had never given birth to a child in her past or present life, but one thing was very clear to her.
When a woman gives birth, she has one foot stepping into the gates of hell.
Even with the advancement of modern medical technology, many people still suffer accidents during childbirth every year. What’s more, this is still an ancient society where everything is backward.
At this moment, Yu Xiucai truly realized the saying: It is easier to talk while standing.
If the person lying on the bed was someone else's mother, she would definitely be able to give her some righteous advice.
But now the person lying here is her own mother, how can she remain calm?
Fortunately, Cui was in good health. When her stomach wasn't hurting so much just now, she ate a bowl of brown sugar eggs to replenish her strength.
Yuxiu cooked the eggs herself. The eggs were laid by the chickens kept in the space, and the water used was directly from the spiritual spring.
Not long after Cui swallowed a bowl of eggs, her stomach began to ache violently.
Fortunately, the entire delivery process went smoothly. Although the two babies were small and looked thin and weak, they cried loudly when they were picked up and the soles of their feet were patted.
"Wow wow wow..."
"Wow wow wow..."
Well, both babies were beaten and cried, and the crying was really loud.
Old Mrs. Cui went over to take a look happily, and said it was a good idea with great joy.
"A boy is good. He can share the responsibilities with his parents in the future."
Old Mrs. Cui was afraid that Yuxiu would have an opinion, so she whispered to her:
"Don't worry, Xiu girl. Even with these two brats, grandma still loves you the most."
Yuxiu nodded, feeling a little amused and helpless.
It turns out that both babies are boys. No wonder Mrs. Cui is so happy.
Besides, how old is she now? Not to mention her age in her previous life, she is almost fifteen now. She is a grown-up girl, so why would she compete for favors with a newborn little brother?
Cui gave birth to two children in one breath. Even if she was in good health, she was not young anymore. She was lying on the bed with a weak face and had no strength to speak.
Yuxiu stayed by her side throughout the whole process, wiping her sweat, giving her ginseng slices to hold in her mouth, and constantly cheering her on, which warmed Cui's heart.
Looking at her two sons who were still crying loudly in their arms, Cui felt that her daughters were still the most caring.
"You should take a good rest. I will ask them to take the child to the next room to take care of him."
Seeing that Mrs. Cui frowned, Mrs. Cui hurriedly called the two people holding the children to follow her to the next room.
The others helped to clean up, and after everything was cleaned up they left, leaving Yuxiu and Cui's mother and son alone in the room.
"Mom, just close your eyes and take a rest. I'll be here to watch over you and nothing will happen. My brothers have their grandmother by their side, and everything has been arranged in advance, so you don't have to worry..."
Yuxiu pulled the quilt for Cui, who really couldn't bear it anymore, so she nodded and agreed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Xu Qinghe was picked up by housekeeper Wang early in the morning. Yuxiu thought he would be back soon, but her mother had already given birth to his two younger brothers and he still hadn't come back.
Thinking about the rumors I heard outside during this period, a guess suddenly came to my mind.
Could it be...
Is today the time to expose Xu Muyun’s true face?
It’s just a pity that she has to stay with Cui today and can’t leave, so she can’t watch the fun.
The old princess probably didn't want a little girl like her to get involved in these dirty things, so she didn't take her over.
Yuxiu's guess was correct. When Xu Qinghe arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion today, he found that many members of the Xu family had come here.
The patriarch sat in the highest position, and below him sat the elders and important figures of the tribe.
All the people who had the final say outside were men. Xu Qinghe also heard some noises coming from the inner room, which should be where the women were staying.
It seems that the Xu family has family affairs to deal with today, so why did they ask me to come here...
Thinking of this, Xu Qinghe's heart began to beat wildly.
Is the truth about to come to light?
Seeing him come in, the clan leader just nodded slightly at him, and then a clan member came over and asked him to sit down in a seat in the corner.
There was an empty seat next to the clan leader, and soon someone came in and sat down. It turned out to be the old princess.
