Chapter 87: Xiang's wife's pregnancy is in jeopardy
My eldest brother Wang Su came back a little late today.

He was originally thinking of practicing calligraphy in the study, but just as he put the paperweight down, he heard a commotion outside. He frowned with a look of surprise and looked outside.

Then the maid Tang Yu came running over in a hurry, not even caring about the rules. She pushed open the door of the study and shouted anxiously.

"Master, the mistress of the young master was assassinated!"

"what?"

Wang Su has always had a cold face and was calm in the face of many things, but he never expected that the person who treated him tenderly this morning would be attacked. Didn’t he say that he would go to Lanyue Tower with his grandmother and mother to watch the event?
how come?
He was panicking and almost unsteady on his feet. Worry welled up on his usually serious face and he quickly ran towards the inner courtyard, completely losing his previous calm and composed look.

When he arrived, the court doctor was also there.

Xiang was curled up on the bed in so much pain. Dan Xing was crying her heart out, letting her young mistress grab her hand. The marks were already bleeding slightly, but she didn't care. The only thing on her mind was the eldest young mistress.

"Madam, please bear with it for a moment. The doctor will be here soon."

"Step aside."

As soon as she finished her words, she heard a man's voice behind her. Turning around, she saw it was the eldest young master. Dan Xing quickly gave up her seat, and Wang Su stepped forward and grabbed the lady's hand tightly. Even though the pain was transferred to the back of his hand, he did not show any concern.

"I'm here, Xiuqing, Xiuqing."

The couple has a deep affection for each other, and when one of them is in pain, the other naturally feels bad too.

Upon seeing this, the court doctor rushed forward to check. The more he checked, the more his brows furrowed. Then he said something tremblingly.

"The eldest young lady's baby was too frightened, I'm afraid she can't be saved."

With a thunderclap, Madam Pei almost fainted. Fortunately, her sister-in-law, Madam Pei, helped her up, otherwise she would have fallen to the ground. Old Madam Wang had seen everything, but at this moment she was also in tears.

That was the eldest grandson (daughter) that their Wang family had been looking forward to for a long time, how could they not be able to keep her?
Wang Su's face also looked grim. He was worried about losing his child, but he was even more worried about losing his wife. Then he swallowed the pain in his heart and asked a question.

"What about the young lady? If the child is gone, is it possible for her to survive?"

"I'll do my best!"

The court doctor didn't dare to say a word. After all, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. If something really went wrong, his life would be in danger.

As they were talking, Jiang Shiyuan came in with a group of doctors.

When they saw those people, everyone in Wenyuan Marquis's Mansion felt as if they had seen hope, especially the Marquis's wife, Mrs. Pei, who cried so sadly and expressed her feelings repeatedly.

"If mother and child are safe, my Wenyuan Marquis Mansion will reward you generously!"

What those doctors were thinking about at the moment was not the medical fee at all, but how to save her life. However, doctors are like parents to the young lady, and seeing the pain in which the lady was lying on the bed, they came forward one after another to take her pulse.

No one said a word, and finally everyone thought that the child might not be saved. Only one person, who was brave enough, stepped forward and said something to the crowd.

"If the eldest young lady's pregnancy could be stable for another month, I might be able to help her give birth naturally. But now, even if she gives birth, she can't raise the child, so... so please accept my condolences, old lady."

Sentenced to death once again, everyone in Wenyuanhou Mansion didn't know what to do.

The eldest brother Wang Su no longer cared about whether the child could survive or not. His only wish was not to implicate his wife, so he calmed down and said to the doctor, "I don't ask for the child to survive, as long as the young lady is well, the generous reward will still be valid!"

This was not difficult. The doctors' complexions gradually improved, and the mansion made quick arrangements to find the most experienced midwife immediately. Since the child could not be saved, it had to be born. Otherwise, if it stayed in Xiang's belly, both mother and child would die.

Xiang was in so much pain that she could not speak clearly. Tears kept falling from her eyes. She tightly grasped her husband Wang Su's hand and cried and begged.

"Child, I want my child..."

She had been with this child for six months. Although he had not been born yet, she was different from others. She could truly feel the movement of this child. Now that he was gone, Xiang could not accept it.

Her deep cry of pain made others cry as well.

Including Aunt Yang who was nervously clenching her fists at the door. Jiang Shiyuan happened to see some struggle in her eyes when she was wiping her tears. Could it be that she had a solution?
He walked over quickly, took Aunt Yang's hand and asked softly.

"Auntie, is there any way?"

Her question made Aunt Yang even more nervous than before, and she stammered before answering.

"I...I don't know if it will work?"

"Do you really have a solution?"

"When my mother was pregnant with my younger brother, she fell off a cart when he was six months old. The doctor said there was no way to save him. Later, a country midwife used some methods to massage her belly to help her brother breathe smoothly. She lay still until nine months before giving birth. Although she was weak when she was young, she was still raised. I was curious and learned a little bit from her, but...but the country lady is strong and can withstand the tossing, but the eldest young master's wife...I'm not sure."

Aunt Yang's words gave everyone a little hope in the darkness.

At a time like this, one must give every possible effort, not to mention that human lives are at stake, so the Marquis' wife, Mrs. Pei, didn't care about anything else and immediately stepped forward, grabbed her hand and said.

"My dear sister, if you can save them both, we, the Wenyuan Marquis's family, will repay you with all our heart. Even if you can't save them, we will be grateful to you for trying your best!"

Her words served as a reassurance. Although Aunt Yang was afraid, she thought about how well the eldest lady took care of the third lady. She also heard a lot from her daughter about the kindness and thoughtfulness of the eldest lady's wife, so she decided to go for it even if there were mountains of swords ahead.

She licked her lips, breathed in and out continuously, quickly walked to Xiang's side, closed her eyes and kept recalling the techniques she had learned at that time.

She was the one who took care of her mother who was bedridden at the time, so she did rub her belly.

Xiang was in so much pain that she couldn't bear to watch it, so she didn't care about being afraid and quickly spoke to her and Wang Su.

"Master, please help me hold down Madam Young's shoulders and legs. I need to use some strength. It would be best if you could find a handkerchief for Madam Young to bite, otherwise I'm afraid she'll bite her tongue out of pain."

"Okay, Aunt Yang, just go ahead and do it. We will follow your instructions."

Some doctors wanted to stop them, but the one who had just spoken stopped them. He had indeed heard that some midwives in the countryside had unique methods, and maybe it could really work!
So everyone stood there patiently waiting, but to rub the belly one had to lift up the dress, and soon everyone in the room was asked to leave, except Wang Su, Dan Xing and Jiang Shiyuan, everyone else was at the door.

Biting the handkerchief, Aunt Yang had already climbed onto the bed and squatted on Xiang's legs. She slightly suppressed her to prevent her from moving her lower limbs at will, and then began to rub her belly.

Sure enough, the child was a little sideways after being frightened. Aunt Yang swallowed her saliva and with a determined look in her eyes began to help him return to his original position little by little.

Xiang screamed in pain, but because of the handkerchief, the sound was sobbing and could be heard outside. Everyone walked around worriedly. Pei Zimiao, who was not far away, had a worried and angry look on his face. He kicked the stone pillar and it broke into two pieces in an instant.
