Ping Niang lay on the bed with a dejected face, not daring to move. The sudden abdominal pain and bleeding really frightened her. She even tried to breathe lightly at this time, for fear that she would drop the baby if she exerted even a little force.
"Auntie, the eldest sister is here!" When Shen Yunhui found Shen Tianshu, it was as if she had found a backbone. She pulled the person and walked into the house, shouting as she walked, without even considering that Shen Tianshu was actually just an unmarried girl from Yunying. Home, what can she understand under normal circumstances?
But inexplicably, after hearing the news of Shen Tianshu's arrival, Ping Niang felt a little calmer, and the tears she had been holding back just now finally fell down the corners of her eyes.
Shen Tianshu was not polite when he entered the room. He sat directly by the bed, held Ping Niang's hand, and said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't be afraid, we have already sent for the doctor."
Ping Niang's hands were cold and her voice was trembling as she said: "Sister, my belly is hurting and it's a little red just now. Is it possible that this child can't be saved?"
Shen Tianshu was also worried, so he distracted Ping Niang's attention by talking, and quickly checked her pulse.
Although the pulse was heavy and weak, there was no sign of miscarriage. Shen Tianshu felt relieved and said comfortingly: "Auntie, don't think blindly. I must be tired from the funeral these two days, so everything will be fine."
"Don't be afraid, aunt. The eldest sister has already sent someone to ask for Doctor Zhang." Shen Yunhui cried like a frightened child in front of Shen Tianshu just now, but now she had put away her tears long ago, looking extraordinarily calm and reliable.
Not long after, before Zhang Muqiu arrived, Chunlan hurried over and asked after entering the room: "How is Aunt Ping? Is the doctor here? The old lady asked the slave to come and take a look."
Ping Niang was startled when she heard this. She quickly looked at Shen Yunhui and asked, "You kid, why did you disturb the old lady?"
"Ah?" Shen Yunhui looked confused, "I didn't, I only told eldest sister!"
Shen Tianshu patted Ping Niang's arm and said, "I asked someone to tell her. My aunt is not feeling well in her stomach. How dare I hide it from the old lady!"
Seeing this, Chunlan also said hurriedly: "You can't blame me for this. Now the old lady attaches great importance to the child in my aunt's belly. She asks three times a day. If she knows that my aunt is not feeling well and still hides it and doesn't report it, I don't know. How many people are going to be punished?”
Everyone talked together for a while, and Ping Niang's mood was not as nervous as it was at the beginning.
The woman at the second door trotted all the way to bring Zhang Muqiu in and said, "Miss, Doctor Zhang is here."
"Doctor Zhang, no need to be polite, let's show Aunt Ping first." Shen Tianshu stood up and moved away from the bed.
Zhang Muqiu put down the medicine box, took out the pulse pillow, and diagnosed Pingniang's pulse.
At this time, Shen Zhonglei also received the news and came directly to inquire about the situation in person.
Everyone in the room exchanged greetings.
"No courtesy at all." Shen Zhonglei waved his hand and said, "Didn't I say before that the fetus was stable and everything was normal? Why did you suddenly feel uncomfortable again?"
After Zhang Muqiu checked Ping Niang's abdominal pain and bleeding again, he answered: "Aunt Ping had some kidney qi deficiency originally, but because the family's diet was properly arranged and supplemented, the fetus has been stable.
"Recently, it may be because of the busy schedule at home that my diet has become light. In addition, I am tired from traveling in the car for the past few days, so I have slight bleeding and fetal movements. I will prescribe some medicine for my aunt. Please pay more attention these days. Just stay in bed as much as possible.”
"Doctor, please." Shen Zhonglei saw Zhang Muqiu going to prescribe a prescription, and then walked to Ping Niang and said, "You too, why are you not feeling well? Why don't you say anything? Next time if you feel uncomfortable, call someone immediately. Please doctor, do you know?"
"Yes, thank you for your concern, sir. I was frightened just now. I couldn't help but think of the fateful child before. I was afraid that this time it would be like before..." Ping Niang couldn't help but sob again as she said that. .
Shen Zhonglei also thought of the child who was kicked by Xu last time but could not keep, and his expression was not very good.
He put his arms around Ping Niang's shoulders and said, "No one in the family can hurt you mother and child anymore. You will definitely be able to give birth to the baby safely this time. You just need to relax and have a good pregnancy."
After Shen Zhonglei finished speaking, he turned around and ordered: "Shu'er, tell the chef that the food for the two aunts will be prepared as before, so don't neglect it."
Ping Niang looked at Shen Zhonglei with a shy face. Although she knew that the concern at this time was all because of the child in her belly, she was still very satisfied.
Shen Tianshu felt a little guilty. She used to personally give instructions to the chef for Ping Niang's food. However, after Mrs. Xu's sudden death, she was so busy that she didn't bother to give more instructions, causing the chef to follow the rules. The diet of the whole family was replaced by a light diet during the mourning period.
If there was no change in diet and she just left the city for a funeral and then came back, Ping Niang's current body should not cause such a situation.
"It's because my daughter was negligent and failed to instruct the cooks to prepare meals for the two aunts alone."
"You kid, why do you take everything on yourself?" Shen Zhonglei hurriedly comforted his daughter, "You are so young, how can you think of everything so thoughtfully? You have done a good job now. Dad, look at the families of those colleagues. My daughter is not even half as good as you."
"Yes, I have never heard of any unmarried girl who is as sensible and capable as our eldest daughter. I don't know which family will be lucky enough to marry an eldest daughter in the future."
Several people were talking around Shen Zhonglei. The atmosphere in the room gradually warmed up, and there was a sudden argument outside the door.
The first thing that came in was the somewhat unfamiliar voice of a little maid: "Oh, why are you stopping me? I have something to go in!"
"The master and the eldest lady are inside, can you just wander in?" This was Mingyu's voice.
"I just have something to do with the master!" The little maid's voice suddenly rose a little higher, "Master, Aunt Guo is not feeling well. I heard that Aunt Ping has invited a doctor here. Please be kind to Aunt Ping and let the doctor come and treat us. Auntie, take a look."
Shen Tianshu walked quickly to the door, lifted the door curtain and said: "Looking at what you said, can Aunt Ping still stop the doctor from diagnosing Aunt Guo's pulse?
"If Aunt Guo doesn't feel well, why don't she ask a doctor? Can't you just send someone to tell me?"
"If father doesn't come to cross the hospital today, will Aunt Guo just endure it?
"Even if Aunt Guo is pregnant, she will inevitably be a little squeamish and willful. Don't you servants know how to give her more advice?"
Several questions left the little girl speechless and stopped Shen Zhonglei who was about to get up.
"Shu'er is right. As servants, you should give more advice, especially if you are not feeling well, how can you still put it off? Can you afford it if something happens?"
"Father, I'll accompany Dr. Zhang to take a look." Shen Tianshu's words completely blocked Shen Zhonglei's way of going there to take a look. He couldn't insist on following, so he had to sit back beside Ping Niang's bed.
Seeing that her goal had not been achieved, the little maid was unwilling to say anything more, but was silenced by Shen Tianshu's look and did not dare to speak, so she obediently led the way.
