Chapter 808: Gave Mingzhu a bit of Acupuncture
Mingzhu was very angry. She was in so much pain giving birth, but An You was actually with Wei Lingxian.
If she died, would An You even remember her?
When Ning Shu saw that Mingzhu still wasn’t pushing the child out, she shook her head, then purposefully raised her voice to shout, “Husband, Mingzhu will definitely be fine! I’ll stay with you all the way until Mingzhu gives birth to the child.”
An You already besides himself with worry. When he heard his wife comfort him, his tension relaxed slightly and he said, “Lingxian, I’m really worried about Mingzhu.”
Ning Shu: …
Frickin’ scram. He sure had guts to say something like this in front of his own wife! It seemed that An You really didn’t care about his wife’s feelings at all.
The ordeal took an entire day, but Mingzhu finally pushed out the child. It was a frail and skinny little girl. Her entire body was bruised.
Mingzhu’s body was delicate so her pelvis was small. On top of that, this child was also premature, so the childbirth was very difficult.
When the old madame saw that kitten-like child in the swaddling clothes that was breathing weakly and crying like softly like a newborn kitten, she sighed.
An You didn’t look at the child and wanted to rush straight inside the room filled with the stench of blood, but the old madame stopped him.
Ning Shu did go inside to take a look and found that Mingzhu’s face was extremely pale, so she secretly gave Mingzhu a bit of acupuncture.
Of course, she was doing something good. She was helping stop the flow of blood.
Ning Shu firmly believed that death was nothing. Living and having to endure everything was what was truly painful.
In the original storyline, Mingzhu and An You had died, and that was the end of their story. They even got buried together. However, Wei Lingxian had lived and had to suffer through every following day.
The child was seriously too small, so she didn’t have the strength to suck milk at all. Even though they had a wet nurse, the child couldn’t eat on her own so the wet nurse had to squeeze out her milk.
Li Nianlei had to feed it to the child bit by bit. The child would easily choke, so every time Li Nianlei fed her, she was always very nervous and worried that something would happen to the child.
When Mingzhu woke up, she immediately asked for the child. When she saw how weak the child was, she started crying and blaming An You.
An You felt responsible for what happened to Mingzhu, but now that Mingzhu was fine and shouting at him again, he started to feel a sense of weariness.
When he saw his frail daughter, he felt even more tired.
The old madame knew that Mingzhu wasn’t the type to be capable of taking care of a child. If they actually allowed Mingzhu to look after the child, the child would probably really die, so she took the child to personally look after her. She had Ning Shu and Li Nianlei help.
The old madame’s action caused Mingzhu to fall apart. Someone else was actually going to raise her child and that person would actually be Wei Lingxian! Mingzhu was very hurt and she wept as she told An You to get the child back.
An You explained that the child’s situation was dangerous right now and said it was best to wait until the child got better before bringing her back. Moreover, Mingzhu’s health was very bad right now so she didn’t have the ability to look after the child at all.
When Mingzhu saw that An You refused, she started crying even more brokenheartedly and accused An You of tearing her away from her daughter. She accused An You of favoring Wei Lingxian.
An You was very helpless. He could only hug Mingzhu tightly and firmly say that he loved Mingzhu, that he only loved Mingzhu.
These words seemed to always be hovering around his lips.
Mingzhu was heartbroken because An You refused to get their child back, so she pulled the blankets aside and ran, barefoot in inner garments, to the old madame’s courtyard. Then she dropped to her knees in front of the old madame.
Ning Shu: …
Don’t your feet hurt? And she was still in her puerperium too? Was it really alright for her to treat her own body this way?
When Mingzhu saw that Ning Shu was holding her child, fiery anger surged up in her heart. She felt like Wei Lingxian was trying to snatch her child.
“Old Madame, please give my child back to me. I can’t lose her!” Tears streamed down Mingzhu’s face as she kowtowed to the old madame in a pitiful manner. “Old Madame, please don’t force us mother and daughter apart.”
The old madame choked and almost died right then and there from anger. Her eyes were wide as she stared at Mingzhu. She didn’t even know what to say.
Ning Shu felt that like Mingzhu’s brain was truly wired differently. Would she really be able to take good care of her own daughter in this state?
