July 15th, Hungry Ghost Festival.
The sky has been gloomy since morning.
In the past, the bustling crowds on Fengdu streets were no longer there, leaving only closed shops and empty streets with paper money floating around.
Just after Unity Hour, the sky that originally had a glimmer of light suddenly darkened, the wind howled, and a deep chill filled the streets of Fengdu.
It's obviously a hot summer day, but now it's even colder than autumn.
All the doors and windows of everyone's homes were closed, hiding in their homes and not daring to make any noise.
However, at this time, the Yongding Hou Mansion in Beicheng, where the powerful people of Fengdu were concentrated, was in chaos.
"Old lady, the third lady is giving birth!"
Mrs. Yu was startled, "Why at this time..."
Originally, there were still about ten days left before the third daughter-in-law gave birth.
If I give birth today... the child will most likely not survive.
Even adults’ lives are at risk!
Old Mrs. Yu punched the faucet crutch in her hand and called to her daughters-in-law: "Go to the third room!"
Both the Marquis and the third child are not here. No matter what, she has to protect the third daughter-in-law!
She squeezed the crutch in her hand tightly, her face solemn.
When Mrs. Yu led everyone to the third room, Mrs. Shen had already been sent to the delivery room.
Fortunately, the third room was well taken care of by Shen. Even in such a tense moment, the servants were in good order.
Mrs. Yu nodded secretly.
"Have you invited Mrs. Zhou Wenpo and Liu Wenpo?" Old Mrs. Yu asked.
Po Wen must have found a mansion like theirs long ago, but the time has not come yet, and it is a special day like today. If Po Wen was not allowed to enter the house in advance, she would not be able to go out now. Go and invite me.
Tan Yu, Shen's eldest maid, quickly replied: "Liu Wenpo entered the house three days after the appointment was made to wait for the birth. Now only Zhou Wenpo is here, and Aunt Xu is also waiting inside."
Only then did Mrs. Yu feel relieved: "Tan Yu, go and send a message to Pei Niang to give birth to the baby in peace. We are all guarding her outside!"
After saying that, she had a chair brought over and waited outside the courtyard of the third bedroom.
She had accompanied her husband on expeditions in her early years, and she had an aura about her that made the originally anxious servants calmer now.
There was silence in the courtyard of the third room. A thick layer of mist surged outside the courtyard at some point. It seemed that there was something hidden in the mist, waiting for an opportunity to move.
The atmosphere in the courtyard became increasingly solemn.
Shen's birth seemed to have been particularly difficult, with blood pouring out of the basin, but there was no movement at all inside, and no one in the hospital dared to take a breath.
Daybreak is approaching.
Mrs. Yu couldn't help but look at the hourglass on the side: "Please bear with me, Mrs. Shen, just bear with me for a while..."
She understood that Mrs. Shen was also waiting for the moment when the evil spirits faded away at dawn.
But it's clearly past Yin hour, why is it still not dawn yet?
God does not wish to do so.
At this moment, Shen's cry of pain could no longer be suppressed.
Giving birth soon!
The thick mist suddenly moved and poured into the delivery room at an extremely fast speed.
Mrs. Yu's hand couldn't help shaking, and the crutch in her hand broke at this moment...
A bad omen!
————
Jiu'er felt as if he was soaking in a pool of spiritual liquid, and his extremely tired body was surrounded and repaired by a pool of warm water.
Suddenly, a faint light came in, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she felt as if her body was pushed by a stream of water and slid out of a pass.
There were countless weird and sharp laughter in my ears, which made people's eardrums hurt.
Jiu'er frowned hard. She had heard such voices many times before.
【very noisy! 】
Suddenly someone slapped her butt!
【Bold! 】
[Who dares to spank her! 】
Wow--
With the cry of a baby, the black fog that had been tumbling and clamoring in the delivery room dispersed in an instant.
Zhou Wenpo, who was originally frightened, almost cried along with the baby.
terrible.
How terrible!
It was said that children born on the Ghost Festival would not survive, but she didn't believe it.
I never thought it was true!
There are so many evil spirits, waiting eagerly in the delivery room, ready to take action.
The people waiting in the room had all fainted after Xie Gui ran in, leaving only the mother who was halfway through labor and who had already touched the baby in her hand, who was still awake.
She also wanted to faint.
But for some reason, her hands and feet were weak and she just couldn't faint.
"Po Zhou Wen!" The third lady Shen's sharp voice came to her ears, which brought back some of her sense, "The baby is coming out soon!"
Fortunately, the baby was born smoothly. She didn't expend any effort at all. She almost relied on instinct to cut the umbilical cord and patted the baby's soft and tender butt.
She couldn't come back to her senses until the child's cry sounded.
"Baby, I am your mother." There was a gentle kiss on the forehead, and an extremely gentle word came into the ear.
Jiu'er was shocked.
【Me, turned into a baby? 】
She slowly opened her eyes and faced a stunningly beautiful face.
[Ah, my mother is so beautiful! (★ ω ★)】
Jiu'er thought, my mother is so beautiful, she will probably be a little beauty in the future.
Shen Peilan was slightly startled, who was speaking?
【Well, I’m so hungry~~】
Shen Peilan lowered his head and met a pair of round, moist eyes. The child in his arms seemed to be very hungry, and he was stuffing it into his mouth with his little fist raised.
She looked around, and besides her, the only ones awake were Mrs. Zhou Wen and her child.
Could that voice just now be the voice of a child?
Shen Peilan's heart tightened, she knew that her child was born extraordinary.
Zhou Wenpo had not noticed before because she was afraid. The moment the baby was born and cried, all the evil spirits in the house disappeared.
"Mr. Zhou Wen, I hope you will keep your mouth shut about today's matter." Shen Peilan warned, the situation in the house was really strange. There was a mother-in-law in charge of the house, so the news in the mansion would not spread, but Zhou Wenpo was not from the Hou family.
Zhou Wenpo nodded quickly: "Madam, don't worry, I'm famous for being tight-lipped."
What just happened was terrifying, but as soon as the child was born, those evil things disappeared. I guess this child was lucky.
Shen Peilan naturally knew that Zhou Wenpo had a safe temperament. After all, she had delivered her son in the first place. She immediately handed the child over to Zhou Wenpo: "The child is hungry. Please take her out to breastfeed. Also, Aunt Xu and the others are determined to I was frightened by those evil things, so you called someone for me."
The room fell to the floor, it was really unreliable.
Zhou Wenpo had just pinched them one by one without waking anyone up. She was the only one who had to use them now.
She quickly took the child.
It was only then that she noticed that the third lady was giving birth to a daughter.
Zhou Wenpo raised her head in surprise: "Third Madam, this, this is a young lady!"
Shen Peilan looked at the baby in her arms, with a gentle smile on her face.
Her daughter is the only girl in the prince's mansion.
Many people will love her in the future.
Mrs. Zhou Wen didn't waste any more time and quickly carried the child out of the delivery room.
At this moment, Shen Peilan could no longer hold on and fell on the couch.
During the period when she was pregnant with the child, she was not in good health. She had already tried her best to give birth to the child. When she saw that the child was safe and sound, she felt relaxed and fainted.
No one noticed that the bracelet on Shen Peilan's hand flashed with a dark light and disappeared into her body.
