Chapter 666 Finally, I can 'take revenge'
Finally, Yuan Laoda and Yuan Laoer took Guoping, Guoan, Guoxing, Guowang, and the children of Lihua Village back to their residence.
Shen Chulan, Ye Wan, and Yao Yao went to the Southern Chu Prefecture.
As soon as I entered the Nan Chu Mansion, I saw maids hurrying around carrying basins of hot water to the backyard, while the steward pulled several midwives to the backyard as well.
"Madam started having stomach pains right after watching the fireworks tonight. She called the doctor, who took her pulse and found out she was about to give birth."
The housekeeper led the midwife to the backyard, which gave Shen Chulan, Ye Wan, and Yao Yao time to talk.
Shen Chulan thought about the date when Madam Chu became pregnant with twins and asked in confusion, "Why is it more than a month early?"
"Yes, our master was thinking that since the baby was still more than a month away from being born, he wanted to set off fireworks during the New Year to make it more festive. But he didn't expect that the lady would start having stomach pains right after watching the fireworks."
The steward also found it strange that the midwife, who had been staying in the mansion, was allowed to go home for the New Year, as it was New Year's Eve.
Fortunately, the midwife lived near the Southern Chu Prefecture; otherwise, it would have been difficult to find another midwife.
"Take us inside quickly," Shen Chulan said.
The butler nodded and quickly led them into the lady's courtyard in the backyard.
As soon as I entered, I heard groans of pain coming from inside the room, along with the strong stench of blood.
Chu Xiaoyi, Old Madam Chu, and Old Master Chu paced anxiously in circles, glancing at the tightly closed door every now and then.
One basin after another of bloody water was brought out, and their hearts sank little by little.
Having one child is difficult enough, let alone when the daughter-in-law is carrying twins, making this pregnancy even more challenging.
"Quickly ask the midwife how Nan'er is doing now?" Old Madam Chu said to the old woman beside her.
The old woman nodded and hurried into the house.
"Quickly bring me my century-old ginseng. If Nan'er is in any danger, this ginseng can be a lifesaver."
Master Chu gave instructions to the steward.
At this moment, Chu Xiao also noticed Yao Yao, Shen Chulan, and Ye Wan. His eyes widened as if he had seen a savior. He rushed to Yao Yao and knelt down, pleading, "Princess Pingyao, please save them, mother and son."
Madam Chu and Master Chu were overjoyed to see Yao Yao. They vividly remembered the battle between Yao Yao's family and the beastmen and evil Taoist priests, which put them at ease.
“Princess Pingyao, if you save them, mother and children, we are willing to give you half of the Chu family’s assets.” Old Madam Chu’s eyes were filled with tears, her aged face showing worry and anxiety.
Mr. Chu, Chu Xiaoyi nodded, "Yes, as long as you save the mother and her two children, our Chu family is willing to give you half of our assets."
Looking at the three anxious, worried, and expectant faces, Yao Yao nodded. "I came here today for this very reason. Don't worry, the pretty sister and her baby will be fine. You don't need to give me half of the Chu family's assets."
Yao Yao guessed that the reason for giving birth more than a month early was probably related to what happened tonight.
In the celestial realm, they were very mischievous and loved to join in the fun as soon as they took human form. Today is New Year's Eve, and she guessed that the noise of the fireworks must have attracted them, making them eager to come out.
Hearing Yao Yao's words, Chu Xiaoyi, Old Madam Chu, and Old Master Chu's hearts, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally settled down.
Madam Chu wiped away her tears, "We are relieved to hear you say that."
As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and bowed to the sky, praying for his daughter-in-law's smooth delivery.
Only Yao Yao knew that the reason the pretty older sister couldn't give birth yet was because the babies in her belly were fighting over who would be the firstborn.
The two babies were fighting back and forth inside the womb.
It's tough on the pretty lady.
"Uncle Chu, I'll go in and take a look." Yao Yao looked up at Chu Xiaoyi.
Chu Xiao nodded repeatedly, looking eager to hear it.
"Yeah, let's go."
Yao Yao entered the house, and as soon as she entered, she saw two small balls of light, one pink and one blue, wrestling in mid-air. Below the two small balls of light, the pretty woman was sweating profusely and straining, but she couldn't give birth no matter what she did.
Her two children were already so 'filial' even before they were born.
A powerful burst of spiritual energy shattered the two halos, one pink and one blue, and Madam Chu felt her stomach instantly feel much lighter.
"Oh dear, they're born! They're born! They've both given birth!" the midwife exclaimed happily, wiping away her sweat.
"Oh my, they came out one after the other!"
Another midwife said excitedly.
Good heavens, if they don't come out soon, their livelihoods will be ruined.
Two strong cries of babies came from the house, each one louder than the last.
The sound of crying relieved the people outside, who ran happily to the front door.
Two midwives came out, each carrying a baby, their faces beaming with happy and congratulatory smiles.
"Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, madam! Madam has given birth to twins, a boy and a girl."
Even though she already knew that her daughter-in-law was carrying twins, Old Madam Chu was still very happy when she heard the midwife say it. Her face was full of smiles, and she kept nodding, "Good, good, good, there will be a reward, there will be a reward."
"Quickly, give each person fifty taels of silver."
The two midwives were overjoyed to hear this, and what they said was exactly what the host wanted to hear.
"Both children were very energetic from birth, chubby and fair-skinned, and they could cry with their eyes open right after they were born."
Old Madam Chu looked towards the room with a worried expression, "How is Madam?"
One of the midwives replied, "Madam is fine, she's just a little tired."
"That's fine, that's fine."
Chu Xiao glanced at the two children and went straight into the house to see his wife.
"Oh, sir, the smell inside is too strong, you can't go in." The midwife, who was dealing with the filth, quickly stopped Chu Xiaoyi when she saw him come in.
Chu Xiao didn't care about any of that. "I'm going into my room to see my wife. You just do your thing."
"Nan'er, how are you feeling?"
After taking the pills given to her by Yao Yao, Madam Chu regained some strength and her complexion became rosier. When she saw Chu Xiaoyi enter, she frowned slightly and showed a disapproving expression on her face.
"The room smells strongly of fish, what are you doing in here?"
Chu Xiao also sat by the bed, holding his wife's hand with a pained expression, his tone aggrieved.
“I came in to see you. Besides, you are my wife, and I don’t have such old-fashioned ideas.”
Upon hearing this, Madam Chu scoffed, feigning helplessness, "You're all talk."
"If I weren't so capable, how could I have married you?" Chu Xiaoyi joked.
At this moment, Old Madam Chu, Shen Chulan, and Ye Wan also entered, looking at Madam Chu with concern.
"how do you feel?"
"I took the pills Yao Yao gave me, and I feel much better," Madam Chu replied.
As they talked, Yao Yao moved step by step to the two cribs, stretched out her chubby little hands, and revealed a wicked smile on her face.
Finally, I can get my revenge! Hehehe...................
