Chapter 440: Chapter 442: Life is Too Long

Both of them looked towards the entrance, only to see Pei Huaian, striding towards them, radiating an aura that screamed ’keep out’ to strangers.

Liang Weishuang didn’t know why, but now, whenever she saw the Fifth Prince, she always felt a sense of fear.

"Lady Chu really has some nerve, daring to come here and stir up trouble between us." Pei Huaian looked at her with icy eyes, like a blade shooting towards her.

Liang Weishuang felt somewhat panicked and wanted to explain, but she didn’t know where to begin.

Shao He stepped forward and said, "Even if the Fifth Prince likes children, so what? I am honored by my son, what can you do about it?"

Such a teasing remark, when uttered from her lips, carried an air of arrogance.

Pei Huaian looked affectionately at the person by his side, placing her hand over his heart, "No, it is the husband who is honored by the son. Without Xiao Linzhang, how could I have married you?"

She was very glad that they had left a child between them, or else she would have missed out on Shao He.

Liang Weishuang, seeing their deep affection for each other, felt eyes brimming with jealousy, almost spitting fire.

Pei Huaian’s gaze fell on the large bump on her forehead, and the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly faded, wanting to reach out and touch it but afraid of hurting her.

"What happened here?"

"It’s just a minor injury," Shao He said with a smile.

Pei Huaian called for a maid from outside to inquire, and upon learning that it was an unintended injury caused by Liang Weishuang, the fury within him surged once again.

In a flash, he was in front of Liang Weishuang, his large hand firmly clutching her neck against the wall.

"It seems you think your life is too long; perhaps this prince should help you shorten it."

Liang Weishuang’s face turned red, as she struggled to raise her eyes to meet those of Pei Huaian, filled with rage.

"Cough, cough..."

She didn’t know what she had done to anger him, but she could clearly feel Pei Huaian’s intent to kill. Why had he become murderous?

"Fifth... Fifth Prince... please... spare my life," she begged in terror.

The pressure of Pei Huaian’s grip tightened, and Shao He came over, tugging at his sleeve, "Huaian, you can’t kill her."

On hearing her soft voice, Pei Huaian slowly released his grip on Liang Weishuang, turning instead to wrap his arms around Shao He’s slender waist, sheltering her in his embrace.

He spoke in an indifferent tone, "It’s not your place to interfere in this prince’s affairs. Stay away from Shao He in the future, or else..."

Frightened by his sudden movement and his warning, Liang Weishuang nodded fearfully. Even if she felt resentful, she knew very well what was more important compared to her life.

She was not foolish; if she now offended Pei Huaian, there would certainly be no good outcome.

Seeing Liang Weishuang leave, Shao He turned to the person beside her, concerned, "Are you all right? Is it your irritability acting up again? Have you taken the medicinal meal I prepared for you?"

Pei Huaian held her tightly in his arms, as if he wished to meld her into his very being. He held her so tight that she had difficulty breathing, but still, she didn’t dare to push him away.

After a long moment, Pei Huaian finally released her, gently caressing the swelling on her forehead with an apologetic tone, "I’m sorry!"

Shao He shook her head, thinking that indeed, his irritability needed to be controlled, otherwise it was not easy to manage every time it flared up.

Seeing him in this state, she concluded that the medicine was having an effect. With long-term use, she believed it should be able to treat his condition quickly.

When the two of them returned to their room, Pei Huaian had calmed down a lot. Shao He poured him a cup of warm water and handed it to him, saying, "Have a drink first, to moisten your throat."

Pei Huaian obediently took the cup and sipped, the warm flow soothing his throat and warming his heart.

"Doctor Shao, Doctor Shao..." A servant boy’s panicked voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Pei Huaian’s brows knitted tightly; the servants in the house were always well-behaved, what was happening today?

Shao He stepped out to see a servant boy pointing anxiously outside, "A maid from Lady Yan’s household has come to report that Lady Yan has gone into premature labor; they’re asking for Doctor Shao to come immediately."

"What?"

The wife of Yan Ze, who was also Princess Yunyao, Xu Han, was just seven months pregnant. How could she be going into labor so early?

Without a moment’s pause for thought, Pei Huaian immediately called for a carriage, and together they headed to the Yan Residence.

Yan Ze and the Eldest Princess were anxiously pacing outside the door, while a midwife emerged from inside, panic-stricken, "The amniotic fluid has been broken for so long, but there’s still no sign of the child coming."

"If you can’t save the Commandery Princess and the child, you might as well join them," Huimin said with an icy tone.

The midwife trembled with fright. Just then, a maid from inside the room suddenly shouted, "It’s terrible; the child’s feet are coming out first!"

These words caused the midwife to kneel on the ground, "This, with the feet coming out first, the child could very likely suffocate."

Huimin kicked her, "No matter what you have to do, you must save both the mother and the child!"

"If you manage that, I will grant any reward you wish!"

"Go now!" Yan Ze yelled at the still-stunned midwife.

The midwife, shaking with fear, entered the room and saw the baby’s feet already out, turning in panic.

At this moment, Xu Han was drenched in sweat, the pain in her belly causing her to clutch the bedding beneath her tightly.

"Save me... the baby..."

"Commandery Princess, it’s not that I don’t want to save you, it’s just that your child..." the midwife didn’t know how else to describe her current state of mind. She had thought she would make a handsome profit, but now her own life was at stake.
