The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 336

At the Grand Tutor's mansion, two well-known midwives were so anxious that their faces turned deathly pale.

"Madam, I've tried my best, but there's nothing I can do; the baby is breech."

First, the fetus stands upright, with one foot coming out first while the other foot is still inside the womb, making delivery impossible.

The midwife slowly put the baby's foot back in, but then the pregnancy ended up in a breech position again... The situation was extremely dangerous, and the midwife was at her wit's end.

"Can't you straighten the tire? Then straighten it for me."

Lady Gao of the Grand Tutor's Mansion was pacing anxiously: "If the Princess's pregnancy goes wrong..."

Yes, although the Third Young Mistress is a daughter-in-law, she is also a princess, the apple of the eye of Prince Chu and Princess Chu. If she were to have an unpleasant childbirth after marrying into the Grand Tutor's Mansion, a feud would be formed between Prince Chu's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

We can't let anything happen.

"Madam, you forgot, we also invited Dr. Zhong from Chunshan Women's Medical College. Why don't we ask Dr. Zhong to take a look?"

"Alas," Madam Gao sighed, "We originally intended to invite Mr. Xiao, but it turns out that Mr. Xiao's own sister-in-law, the wife of a top scholar, is also about to give birth. What a coincidence! It's just that Dr. Zhong..."

They invited her to the mansion but didn't ask her to deliver the baby, because they really couldn't believe in her abilities and just let two midwives do the work.

Even midwives can't handle this nowadays, how can a student manage?

“Madam, I’ve heard that the most outstanding students at Chunshan Women’s Medical College are Miss Zhong and Miss Lei from the Lei family. Why don’t we give them a try?”

"This is the only way; let's try anything as a last resort," said Madam Gao. "Quickly, send someone to inform the Princess Consort of Chu."

She sent someone to inform them that her daughter was giving birth, but no one has come yet. This shows that her claim of doting on her daughter is just lip service; she doesn't actually dote on her.

Otherwise, they should have arrived much earlier.

"Madam, the person who went to the Prince of Chu's residence has returned and says he has important news to report."

"Bring it in."

"Madam, this old servant has met with the King of Chu. The Queen Consort of Chu has fallen seriously ill and cannot get out of bed." The old woman said, "The King of Chu asked if he had invited Mr. Xiao. This old servant told him the truth. The King of Chu was very angry and said that he would personally go to the scholar's residence to invite him."

"Then let him go."

Madam Gao was curious to know: Would Mr. Xiao really disregard the lives of his family to save a complete stranger? Or did he think that as the King of Chu, he could control everyone?
"Madam, where is the Third Young Mistress?"

"Please ask Dr. Zhong to take a look."

Zhong Xiuxiu was invited to the Grand Tutor's mansion and sat for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, but she did not see the woman in labor. In addition, she was worried about her aunt and wanted to get up to leave several times, but she hesitated because this was the Grand Tutor's mansion, an entity she could not afford to offend.

Just then, an old woman walked over.

"Did the Third Young Mistress have a safe delivery?"

Can I leave now?
Please, let her leave. She's really in a hurry.

"Dr. Zhong, my wife requests that you go and see the Third Young Mistress."

Zhong Xiuxiu...you're in trouble!

Yes, if the delivery is a smooth and natural one, then we won't need her.

She seems to be here to clean up a mess.

Upon entering the delivery room, she saw the two midwives frantically trying to help. Her brows furrowed, and after taking her pulse, she exclaimed in dismay that she was already exhausted.

When was it launched?

"Yesterday at Shenshi (3-5 PM)."

Yesterday was Shenshi (3-5 PM), and twelve hours have passed since then, but the baby still hasn't been born. This looks ominous.

She quickly gave the young mistress the life-saving pills that her husband had given her to prepare for her aunt. The pills were a bit bitter, and the dazed young mistress was unwilling to swallow them.

“Third Young Madam, listen to me. These are pills my husband gave me. They are very good for you.” Zhong Xiuxiu said, “Next, I will give you a few acupuncture needles. Don’t be afraid. Just listen to my instructions. I will protect you and ensure a safe delivery.”

"you……"

“My name is Zhong Xiuxiu, and I’m from Chunshan Women’s Medical College.” Zhong Xiuxiu said, “Our husband is Xiao Chunnuan, the granddaughter of Physician Xiao.”

Why hasn't spring arrived yet?

Her mother had promised to ask Chunnuan to protect her during childbirth.

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but the Prince of Chu's family is the Emperor's own uncle, and they have always been close to the Emperor, so Chunnuan must give them face.

Therefore, she never worried.

They didn't seem to care much about the midwife.

"The gentleman has something to attend to and cannot come."

"What could possibly be more important than my life? If it endangers my safety and that of my child, I will not forgive her."

Zhong Xiuxiu frowned upon hearing this: What a pity about that pill!
If I had known she was this kind of person, I wouldn't have saved her... But no, the doctor said that saving lives is an innate duty, regardless of whether the other person is an enemy or a bad person. In the eyes of a doctor, they can only be patients who need to be saved.

"Third Young Madam, you should rest and recover. I'm going to adjust the baby's position, which will be very painful, so you'll have to bear with it."

Originally, Zhong Xiuxiu could have given her a few acupuncture needles to alleviate her pain, but she was too wicked, and Zhong Xiuxiu was unwilling to make things easier for her.

You have to endure the pain.

As a result, the capricious monarch shouted, "What's your name? I'm going to kill you!"

Zhong Xiuxiu chuckled and immediately stopped what she was doing.

"Since the princess thinks I am harming you and wants to kill me, then let's kill me now."

"No, no, Your Highness, this Doctor Zhong's technique is excellent. She can even turn an engaged fetus into its correct position. She's trying to save you, Your Highness..."

The two midwives were also quite frightened. This man was truly insane: he was still lying there, barely alive, yet he wanted to kill the doctor.

If she really goes crazy, will she even take away their lives?

She truly regretted coming to the Grand Tutor's mansion to deliver her baby.

"Stop yelling and hurry up and get the baby out of me! It hurts so much! If you can't do it, find someone else! Someone, get a different doctor and a different midwife..."

The maidservant serving in the room hurriedly went to inform Madam Gao.

Madam Gao was furious: At this time of year, she is still so willful and capricious!
“Tell her that there are no other midwives or doctors, and if she doesn’t listen to the doctors and midwives, she will have to bear the consequences.”

"lady……"

The nanny was frantic: "The midwife said that Doctor Zhong's technique is very good and he has already corrected the baby's position a bit, but the princess won't let him, saying it's too painful, and she even said she would kill Doctor Zhong."

"This one……"

Madam Gao was speechless, wanting to curse: how could her perfectly good son have married such a troublesome woman?

You can't hit her or scold her, she doesn't even care about her own life?
"What did the Prince of Chu say?"

Didn't we say we'd invite Mr. Xiao?
What about people?

At this moment, Chunnuan is in the Zhuangyuan Mansion, holding Qiuyan's hand.

"Push, yes, just push! The baby is in the right position, the baby wants to come out and see you. Come on, keep going!"
