Shen Yan rose to his feet and strode out, the butler scrambling to follow.
The words after Captain Wei stayed in his throat as he and Captain Wu looked at each other. If it was something else, the two of them could still help, the general’s wife had a baby ……
He snapped his head, “Does it have to be a doctor that needs to be hired?”
This he could do.
Lieutenant Wu didn’t know what to help with either, and after thinking for a moment, he got up, “Let’s go over and have a look too.”
Lieutenant Wei followed, and the two of them walked out in strides.
Song Shen also got up and followed him out, and when he reached the door, he whispered an order to Xiao Si, who quickly stepped out of the general’s residence.
In the main courtyard, Ming’s screams were higher than one, and Captain Wei and Captain Wu, who had walked outside the courtyard, listened with their scalps tingling. Their wives had also given birth to children, but none of them had screamed as badly as the General’s wife.
The housekeeper came over quickly with the stablemaid and didn’t have time to greet them before leading the stablemaid inside in a hurry.
In a moment, the stablemaid’s panicked voice rang out, “Madam is in a transverse birth, there is nothing I can do, please ask the general to get a doctor to come over!
“I’ll go!”
Lieutenant Wei turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Song Yin, “I’ve already asked Xiao Si to invite him.”
The butler happened to run out, and when he heard this, he immediately stopped, saluted towards Song Yin, and hurriedly ran towards the door again.
The shouts from inside the house grew louder and louder, and Captain Wei and Captain Wu listened with alarm, unable to stop looking in the direction of the door, “Why hasn’t someone come yet? Song Yin, your boy couldn’t have gone the wrong way, could he?”
Before the words left their mouths, they saw the butler leading an old man carrying a medicine chest to come in a hurry, followed by Xiao Si.
The two men were busy making way for them to enter.
Inside the house, Shen Yan sat in the outer room, listening to Ming’s screams inside the house his hand clenched into a fist, although Ming was not the woman he desired, but he had personally promised to marry her, and besides, he had given him children and helped him take care of the elderly over the years, he naturally hoped that Ming would give birth successfully. The reason he hadn’t gone to the military camp and stayed at the mansion was because Ming was approaching her day.
“General.”
The steward led Doctor Yao into the room, and Shen Yan immediately rose and met Doctor Yao’s gaze, “Lord Bao.”
Doctor Yao didn’t have time to exchange pleasantries with him and walked into the house with a slight nod, the medicine box didn’t even have time to put it down, he squatted down and took Ming’s pulse, before releasing his hand, placing the medicine box on the floor and opening it, taking out the silver needles and looking towards Ming who was already exhausted, “Madam relax, the baby is fine, you will definitely give birth safely.”
Ming didn’t even have the strength to nod, the sisters next to her immediately stuffed a few slices of ginseng in her mouth.
Outside the courtyard, several people listened to the movement inside the house with their ears open, hearing that Ming was no longer screaming, Lieutenant Wei walked back and forth a few steps in excitement, “This doctor is really skilled in medicine, Xiao Si, where did you hire him from?”
Xiao Si looked at his young master, and when he didn’t respond, he replied vaguely, “Just …… turned a few corners and invited him.”
“Turned a few corners?”
When Lieutenant Wei thought back to where the general’s residence had turned a few corners, there was no medical center, and was about to ask again, he heard Song Yin say, “It seems to be all right, let’s go wait in the parlor.”
“No, we want to see the birth of the little prince with our own eyes.”
The general had a son, but he was born and raised in the capital. This one was different, ever since the general’s wife had been pregnant, they had been watching and hoping for a little male son to be born, to stay here at the border and grow up under their noses, and they had all planned how to teach him.
Colonel Wu was in the same mood.
A baby’s cry came out from inside the house and Captain Wei jumped for joy, “It’s born, it’s born, by the sound of the cry it must be a little male son.”
Lieutenant Wu also grinned.
Inside the house, the stable woman came out with the wrapped baby in her arms, all smiles, “Congratulations to the march, congratulations to the march, it’s a daughter.”
A daughter?
Shen Yan couldn’t help but think of Song Wan Yue’s appearance, reaching out his hand to touch the baby’s little face, it was soft, and his heart followed suit, wanting to take the baby over, but not daring to, for fear of hurting her.
Doctor Yao rose with the medicine box on his back, “Congratulations, General.”
Shen Yan’s indifferent face had a rare smile, “Thank you, butler, thank the doctor well.”
The housekeeper happily replied and led Dr. Yao outside.
Just outside the courtyard door, Lieutenant Wei came forward impatiently, “It’s the young duke, isn’t it?”
“It is the young lady.”
“Miss?”
Lieutenant Wei didn’t believe it, how could it be Miss when she was crying so loudly just now, “Confirm it’s Miss?”
The butler nodded with a joyful smile, “It’s Miss.”
Lieutenant Wei was a little disappointed and gave Doctor Yao an unconscious glance and moved his body away to let them pass, when they walked ten steps away, something flashed through his mind and he shouted out, “Wait!”
The steward was startled by his voice and hurriedly stopped and turned around, before he could say anything, Lieutenant Wei had already rushed up to them, to be precise, to Doctor Yao, and stared at him, “Have I seen you before?”
Dr. Yao’s face remained unchanged and he arched his hand, “Your Excellency is mistaken, I have just arrived here, and I am not yet famous.”
“Not true ……”
Lieutenant Wei was still staring at him, “Old Wu, come here!”
“Do what?”
Although Colonel Wu was puzzled, he still came forward.
“See if you’ve seen him before?”
Colonel Wu looked to Doctor Yao.
“Does he look like ……”
Lieutenant Wei wanted to ask if he looked like the doctor in King Qin’s residence back then, back then before following King Qin to the border, they had been to King Qin’s residence and had seen Doctor Yao.
“Not like.”
Colonel Wu interrupted him quickly and apologetically said to Doctor Yao, “Please forgive me, Doctor, he hurt his brain that day and was a little confused.”
“Old Wu, what are you talking about, when did I ……”
The words didn’t finish, put the lieutenant Wei covered his mouth and said towards the butler, “Send the doctor out.”
The butler hurriedly led Dr. Yao towards the door.
Only when they were far away did Lieutenant Wu let go of his hand.
“Old Wu, what do you mean?”
Captain Wu didn’t answer him, he gave Song Yin a deep look and tugged him to walk quickly outside, “The general will be fine for a while, let’s go back first.”
“Tell me clearly, what exactly do you mean? When did I hurt my brain?”
Lieutenant Wu glanced backwards, seeing that Song Yin was not following, he gave a wink to his own personal guard and slightly raised his chin to indicate the front.
The personal guard understood and followed.
Song Yin looked in his eyes and looked to Xiao Si, who nodded slightly and whispered, “Young Master, don’t worry.”
“What is wrong with you?”
Lieutenant Wei shook off Lieutenant Wu’s hand.
“Shhh ……”
Colonel Wu made a gesture of silence and pulled him aside once again, “I know what you suspect, I suspect it too, I’ve sent someone to follow it up, we’ll have the answer soon.”
