Before the next day when a servant could have been sent as usual to ask Ji Qubing to come over to check Wei Changying's pulse, the moment Ji Qubing packed his medical bag and went away with Wei Zhengyin, the Ni Tao couple ran in a panic to the Jintong Courtyard to report the news.

On hearing this, Mrs. Huang was shocked. Having thought for a moment, she calmed down, warning them, "Don't tell the young madam about this for now in case she becomes worried. It might cause trouble for her when giving birth."

Ni Tao was the person who served Ji Qubing. He was worried that if something bad happened to Wei Changying after Ji Qubing had gone with Wei Zhengyin, Old Madam Song would vent her anger on him as she couldn't do anything to her daughter. He asked nervously, "If we aren't going to tell the young madam, we should send someone to bring Miracle Doctor Ji back, in case the young madam..."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Huang looked upset, scolding her son, "Our young madam is very healthy! I think her labor will go smoothly! Things have not yet happened, but why do you always focus on the negative side?"

Ni Tao, who had always feared his mother, was cowed, stumbling over his words, "Because that's what Miracle Doctor Ji said to the Second Madam. I'm just worried..."

"Miracle Doctor Ji!" Mrs. Huang annoyedly said, "You know that he is a miracle doctor, don't you? But are you a miracle doctor? He can talk nonsense whenever he wants, and because of his medical knowledge, people don't dare to offend him and have to tolerate him! But what about you?"

Seeing her mother-in-law scold her husband so badly, Ni Tao's wife, Mrs. Liu, had to ease the situation. She gently asked her mother-in-law to calm down and nicely explained things to her. She then said, "We are worried that we might do the thing you have told us to do wrongly. That is why we quickly came over. We had been serving the Miracle Doctor in the Ji Family, so we don't know about the young madam's situation. He is worried so he spoke it wrongly. Mother, please forgive us."

Mrs. Huang's two daughters-in-law had been personally chosen by her and they got along well with each other. Since the daughters-in-law weren't her children and their relationship was good, she wouldn't embarrass them. She tapped on Ni Tao's forehead, saying, "Look, how silly you are! If you can't say things appropriately, your wife should speak for you! If it hadn't been for your wife this time, I would have beaten you!"

She accepted their reasoning and started to advise Ni Tao in earnest words and with good intention, "The Second Madam is our young madam's lineal aunt. She took Miracle Doctor Ji away, but it is not because she deliberately wanted to cause trouble for our young madam! The fifth young master of the Su Family has been poisoned and his life is in danger! In contrast, everything is fine here with our young madam! You say we should ask our young madams to get someone to bring Miracle Doctor Ji back. However, since the Second Madam is concerned about the fifth young master's situation, they must have been traveling lightly with the greatest speed! Therefore, if we sent someone to catch up with him now, the person might not be able to get to them. Even if the person did, our young madam would be greatly criticized by the public for doing that! This would also start a feud with the Su Family and the Pei Family! What you said is truly stupid. I'm so glad that you didn't say it to anyone else! "

Ni Tao's face turned red. He quickly began repeating yes. Mrs. Liu tried to ease the situation again, asking, "So, Mother, what else do you want us to do now besides not telling the young madam?"

Having glanced at her daughter-in-law approvingly, Mrs. Huang said, "Looking at our young madam's situation now, actually, there is no need to ask Miracle Doctor Ji to come to the mansion every other day. Since this is our young madam's first pregnancy, everyone is nervous, so only Miracle Doctor Ji's own words could put our minds at ease. Luckily, it is known that Miracle Doctor Ji has a bad temperament. I will use this first to hide the fact from our young madam. When the day comes that our young madam is in the birthing room, I will tell her that Miracle Doctor Ji is waiting outside to ease her mind."

Anyway, it all came down to one thing, hide the fact from her!

Wei Changying's labor was just a few days away. Ji Qubing had already been taken out of the capital by Wei Zhengyin, so they couldn't catch up with him or it was not easy to do so. If Wei Changying found out about it at this point, it would add stress to her and cause trouble. Something bad would happen though otherwise it wouldn't have happened.

So it would be better to hide it from her and tell her later once the baby was born.

Ni Tao still couldn't quite put his mind at ease, saying, "Can the young madam really give birth safely..." Seeing her mother-in-law starting to glare at him, she immediately pinched him hard, saying loudly, "The young madam will give birth to the little young master safely when it's the time. Although we don't work in the Jintong Courtyard, as Mother is there, you don't need to worry that we can't be given any rewards!"

In fact, Mrs. Huang had clearly heard them. As she must give her son some decency in front of her daughter-in-law, she merely glared at him, didn't pursue it, and told them to go back to the Ji Family.

In Wei Changying's quarters, Wei Changying, Qin'ge and some other maidservants were chatting happily, unfolding many small clothes to check the stitching piece by piece. Seeing Mrs. Huang come in, Wei Changying smiled, asking, "I heard that Ni Tao and his wife had come by?"

Mrs. Huang said yes then said, "They came but said something..."

Wei Changying was surprised, asking, "What did they say?"

"Miracle Doctor Ji said that you are very healthy, so there is no need to always trouble him, and now... He sent them over to say that he doesn't want to come tomorrow." Mrs. Huang murmured, looking embarrassed.

Having heard this, Wei Changying unconsciously bit her lip. Ji Qubing was the only one who had this high level of medical knowledge throughout the country. Even his uncle was not as good as him. Even though her status was much higher than Ji Qubing, she actually couldn't use it to put pressure on him. Having thought for a long time, she could only sigh, saying. "Ji Qubing... Never mind, since he says I'm fine, then let him be. When the day comes, go and get him then."

Mrs. Huang said with a smile, "In fact, young madam, this also means that you and the little young master are very healthy. Otherwise, for the sake of our Old Madam, Miracle Doctor Ji would have to pay more attention to you. Young madam, you just think, how many people in this country can ask him to pay them a visit? Not to mention such frequent visits like his coming every other day."

Having heard what Mrs. Huang had said, Wei Changying's worries about Ji Qubing's reluctance to come had disappeared a bit. She smiled, saying, "That's true. If he doesn't come, let him be. We had to listen to his unpleasant remarks every other day but since he doesn't come, we can save ourselves some trouble." She added, "You should go to Mother and tell her, in case they should worry."

Mrs. Huang had thought the same way. When arriving at Madam Su's, she told her the whole story. She also told her that she planned to hide from Wei Changying the fact that Su Yuwu had been seriously injured and that Ji Qubing had been taken out of the city by Wei Zhengyin to hurry to Eastern Hu. In the end, she apologized to Madam Su, "The people who served Miracle Doctor Ji came to tell me just now. I was worried that if I came to report it to you first and then went to tell it to our young madam, it would make our young madam suspicious. Therefore, I gave her an excuse that Miracle Doctor Ji was being difficult and doesn't want to come. I lied to our young madam. When she gave me the order to report it to you in case you would worry, I dared to come. I have made this decision myself, so please punish me."

Obviously, Madam Su would not punish her. Instead, she nodded, saying, "You did the right thing. You are no doubt someone who was personally taught by Old Madam Song! If I had been there, I would have made the same decision. This will be Changying's first child. Her biological mother and grandmother are not with her. Although I love her, I know that it is always better for a woman to have her mother by her side when she becomes a mother for the first time. She almost had a miscarriage earlier, so now she is counting on Ji Qubing to ensure her baby is safe. If she knows that Ji Qubing is not in the capital and she becomes worried about her cousin's life, she will be in a total panic! We must hide the truth from her!"

Madam Su agreed with Mrs. Huang and privately sent someone to the Jintong Courtyard to gather all the servants and discipline them while Wei Changying was having her afternoon nap. She ordered them not to say anything about Su Yuwu and Ji Qubing to Wei Changying, or their families would have to leave the Shen Family.

So Wei Changying was kept completely in the dark and carried on living her life just as before.

On the night of the thirteenth of March, Wei Changying woke up from her dreams in pain. She unthinkingly called in Qin'ge who was keeping her company during the night. As she was pregnant, worrying that the maidservants didn't understand what to do and might do something wrong as they had never had such an experience, the three Grannies and maidservants kept her company during the nights in turn. Qin'ge was woken up and she woke up Mrs. Wan who had also come to keep her company that night. They lit the candles and entered within the curtains to check. Mrs. Wan felt the duvet under Wei Changying, saying surprisedly, "There's blood. Our young madam is about to give birth. Go and get someone!"

Qin'ge was so shocked that she forgot to leave the lantern for Mrs. Wan. She hurriedly ran out of the door with it to inform everyone. The whole Jintong Courtyard was awake in shocked surprise and all the people started to get busy.

Fortunately, Mrs. Huang, Mrs. He and Mrs. Wan had all given birth before. The day Wei Changying would give birth had been predicted to be during this time. People like the midwives were in the courtyard as they had been living there already.

They were all woken together at that moment. They washed their faces with cold water to wake themselves up and accompanied Wei Changying into the birthing room that had been prepared a long time ago. Despite being in the middle of the night, on hearing the news, Madam Su, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Duanmu got up. When they arrived, the water was boiling. Seeing Madam Su, a maidservant who was about to bring the water in was going to curtsey to her. Madam Su who was extremely anxious waved her hands to stop her, "Give it to them quickly. Ask them if everything is fine!"

Previously, while Madam Su and Mrs. Huang had been discussing how to lie to Wei Changying, they had been reassuring each other as well, "She has always been healthy. Miracle Doctor Ji has said several times that there is no need to always get him over here. She will probably be fine!"

However, when it came to the critical moment, not having Ji Qubing there made a difference, especially after he had come over so frequently. His absence at the critical moment left those people who were used to relying on him unaware of what to do.

Madam Su was already a grandmother, but she had only hastily put on a piece of thin clothing and was twisting a handkerchief, standing outside in the night breeze. She even forgot to take a cloak, but she wasn't feeling cold. Instead, she felt warm as if something were burning in her heart. She was very worried and couldn't act calmly. No matter what she thought, she couldn't help but secretly complain about Wei Zhengyin, "You worry about your son, but you shouldn't neglect your niece completely in the meantime! "

As she was praying for God's blessing, Duanmu Yanyu came to her, whispering, "Mother, this is Changying's first time giving birth to a child. Since Miracle Doctor Ji is not in the capital, how about we ask Xinmiao to come? So we don't need to worry so much."

On hearing her words, Mrs. Liu immediately glanced at her.

Madam Su was enlightened, quickly saying, "You are right! I totally forgot about Xinmiao. Although it is late today, she gets along well with Changying. She is your cousin as well, so I guess she will do us a favor." She was then about to send someone to ask her to come.

Duanmu Yanyu instantly said, "It's late at night. Let me go to get her!"

"Thank you for going." Seeing she was so concerned about her sister-in-law who was giving birth, Madam Su was very pleased. The contempt for her when Madam Su had taken away her power had vanished. Madam Su thought that her second daughter-in-law was still helpful, finally when there was something important happening.

However, the helpful Duanmu Yanyu said respectfully in front of her, "Fear not, Mother. Changying is my family. At the moment, everyone in this family is worried about Changying! Thanks to my cousin from my parents' family, I can help a little bit."

When they were in the carriage, a maidservant, who knew Duanmu Yanyu very well, whispered, "The Eighth Miss of our family has the same temperament as Miracle Doctor Ji's. Especially, if we go to bother her at this time of the day, disturbing her branch at the same time, they will say something nasty. Just for the sake of the third young madam. why do you do this, young madam?"

Duanmu Yanyu glanced at her, curved the corners of her mouth, saying with a smile, "What do you know? Wei Changying is going to have a boy and he will be the second grandson master of the Shen Family! Shuming is almost ten years old but now there is a second grandson master. Considering Shen Cangfeng's position in the family, she will certainly be held in extremely high regard because of her son in the future!"

"Then, young madam, you must not help her!" The maidservant asked in confusion, "If we asked the Eighth Miss to come and she happened to save her, the power that has been given to you since she needed to stabilize her condition after knowing she was pregnant... Wouldn't she take it back again?"

Duanmu Yanyu bit her lip, saying, "You are stupid. Wei Changying studied martial arts since she was young. She has always been healthy, plus she is tall. She doesn't look like someone who will have hard labor. Since she has been in a stable condition, I don't think she will suffer much when giving birth. Previously, when Ji Qubing visited her every other day, he said her labor would go smoothly, and the mother and child would definitely do well. Don't you believe Ji Qubing's prediction? Tonight, I think that even if something happened, as long as Mrs. Huang was there, she would be fine! Our mother-in-law had been relying on Ji Qubing, so she is worried. But now Ji Qubing is not here, she feels that she has lost that protection. Anyway, this is because there are only a few grandsons in the Shen Family! After so many years of hoping, she could finally have this second grandson who hasn't yet been born. Our mother-in-law will give him all her care and attention!"

"Young madam, but you are still going to get the Eighth Miss..." The maidservant mused. Her eyes brightened and she asked, "You are only saying it to the Madam?"

"It's not only that." Duanmu Yanyu pursed her lips and said softly, "At such a critical moment as giving birth to a child, if I, her second sister-in-law, stepped forward to get my cousin over for her in the middle of the night to ensure her safety, everyone will see it as kindness from me to her. If Wei Changying and her child are safe, they will repay me! Will she still take this power back from me without hesitation? Even if I gave it back to her, she would have to refuse! Even if she took it back, she would need to make it up to me somehow. If... If things went wrong for her, I would leave a good impression on our mother-in-law. As I know our mother-in-law, she will certainly tell me to manage the household! No matter what, I will gain, so why don't I make this trip?"

The maidservant then kept complimenting her, "Young madam, you are smart and adaptable. You have a perfect plan and never misjudge!"

Duanmu Yanyu also felt that she had responded quite well tonight. She said in a good mood, "There is another reason! This is Wei Changying's first time giving birth. Even if her labor goes smoothly, it will take her a few hours. As our mother-in-law knows she is pregnant with a boy, she rushed over as soon as she got the news. My first sister-in-law also went and so did I. It's late spring now, but it is still cool at night. Anyway, I would have to stand in the cold wind in the middle of the night, listening to her howling from giving birth! I would have to carefully look after our mother-in-law. Even thinking about these things, I'm annoyed. It is better to have something to do and so be able to sneak out of there. If I brought Xinmiao there, she wouldn't want to just stand outside and would definitely want to go inside to sit down. Therefore, there must be someone to entertain her. As our mother-in-law is worried about Wei Changying, she will ask me to accompany Xinmiao! At that time, I can wait there, sitting down and drinking tea. Won't it be much nicer that way?"
