Chapter 932: Chapter 935: Anxious to Death
"I’ll send someone to get your husband right now, he’ll be back very soon," ChunTao immediately responded.
Although relief for the disaster was important, it definitely wasn’t as important as her young miss giving birth.
Chen Yiling nodded, "Go, and if he dares not to come back, hold a knife to his throat and drag him back!"
"How could the young master possibly not come? Don’t worry," ChunTao consoled Chen Yiling, while also giving a maid a meaningful look.
Her young miss was about to give birth, so she had to stay by her side; running around could be left to others.
The maid hurried out, knowing the madam was the apple of her master’s eye, and that if she did not serve well, she could prepare to leave.
A few maidservants and ChunTao worked together to help Chen Yiling into the birthing room.
Qiao Duo’er, upon receiving the news, also rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing Qiao Duo’er, Chen Yiling said pitifully, "Duo’er, which bastard said children need to be born? I think it’s quite nice just carrying them."
At least it wouldn’t hurt so much.
"If you don’t give birth, you’ll always have a big belly. Don’t you find that tiring? Once you deliver, you’ll be free. Just hold on a little longer."
Qiao Duo’er expressed her envy. After ten months of pregnancy, it was finally coming to an end.
But she still had to wait a full three months, and the thought made her feel life was so bleak.
Gritting her teeth, Chen Yiling said, "I didn’t expect it to hurt so much. I must have been out of my mind to want to have a child for Qin Longyun. I feel like I’m being utterly shortchanged!"
She was just starting to have contractions, and with the intervals between the pains being long, ChunTao could still take the opportunity to feed her some food.
With food and Qiao Duo’er to distract her, Chen Yiling felt the pain was bearable.
After drinking a bowl of Eight Treasure Porridge and a bowl of bird’s nest soup, the pain suddenly intensified.
Chen Yiling began to scream in pain, her little face flushing red from the strain.
"Madam, try not to scream. You need to conserve your energy for the childbirth," the medical woman reminded.
If she used up her strength now, complications could arise when it truly began.
But Yi Ling was not someone who could withstand pain; she couldn’t help but cry out for her parents.
Qiao Duo did as the medical woman instructed and sat beside, as they needed to keep an eye on Chen Yiling’s condition and avoid any unintended contact.
After all, sitting on a stool wouldn’t interfere with their conversation.
"Why hasn’t that bastard come back yet?"
Chen Yiling’s temper rose again. It would have been nice if Qin Longyun could be there to comfort her at this time.
The mindset was very important at this time; otherwise, it could affect the delivery process and cause complications.
Not wanting to delay, Qiao Duo said at once, "If you’re not angry, I’ll go out and check on him, and I can even berate him for you."
"Beat him harshly; make him hurt more than I do," Chen Yiling said childishly.
Qiao Duo agreed and walked out, but waiting at the door wasn’t Qin Longyun but a maid from the Qin family, named Ping’er.
She was a maid trained by ChunTao. When ChunTao got married, she would take ChunTao’s place.
Ping’er was so anxious she was pacing back and forth. Qiao Duo’s face immediately turned serious.
"What happened?"
"Lord Li just took his men to madam’s shop to search it and found a lot of smuggled salt. They’re claiming our master is smuggling, and have already taken him away to be locked up in the dungeon," Ping’er said, wiping away her tears, genuinely unsure of what to do.
Right now, her young miss was at a critical moment, and she dared not go in to say anything, so she could only pace at the door.
She was fortunate Mrs. Tan came out; otherwise, she might have been driven mad by the urgency.
