Chapter 1180: Chapter 1159: Chaos (Extra for the reward from book friend "Snow*Flower")

Daji followed the carriage of the Yue family, and Qiuyue was only momentarily panicked; seeing that their carriage was closely following their family’s, she felt somewhat relieved and began to cry holding Manbao’s hand.

Manbao quickly comforted her, "Stop crying, is it Second Sister Fu giving birth? Didn’t she marry off to Taizhou? How come she is in the capital? Wait, how many months into the pregnancy is she now? Did you call for a midwife? What did the midwife say?"

While wiping her tears, Qiuyue said: "It’s been ten months, we called for a midwife last night when her labor began. She started giving birth this morning, but no matter what, the baby just won’t come out. The midwife said the baby is transverse; it can’t be born at all. When I left, Miss was already out of strength. That old devout woman from the Yue family wouldn’t agree to call for a doctor no matter what, I sneaked out secretly, took Chang Le out to summon a doctor. We initially wanted to seek a nearby clinic, but as soon as they heard it’s a visit to the Yue family, they were reluctant. That’s why we came to Jishi Hall."

Bai Shan couldn’t help but be amazed, "Is there a problem with the Yue family...?"

Qiuyue obviously detested them, spitting out in anger, "It’s all those bad habits of the old lady, feeling as if a woman is doomed if a man touches her, even requiring a curtain separation when a doctor visits. We never had such rules back in Mianzhou."

Qiuyue held Manbao’s hand tightly, crying: "Though I came to summon a doctor, I know very well that the doctor might not be allowed into the delivery room, it’s just begging him to give some instructions from outside, to give us some confidence, but I didn’t expect to run into Miss Man. Had I known earlier you are a miraculous doctor, we would have found you days ago."

Manbao: ...Even if you found me two days earlier, it wouldn’t have been useful; I just got out of prison yesterday.

The carriage entered Pine Nut Alley, which was more secluded compared to the Changqing Alley they lived in, already on the outskirts of the city, and was also much narrower. As soon as they entered the alley, they could hear the noise before even reaching the Yue family’s gate.

Manbao lifted the curtain to look, seeing quite a few people gathered in front of the Yue family’s door, with arguing noises coming from inside. Qiuyue recognized Nanny Fu’s voice and immediately pulled Manbao to jump down from the carriage.

They squeezed through the crowd, and Qiuyue directly pushed open the door, only to see Nanny Fu arguing with someone over the dowry of the mistress.

As soon as the door was pushed open, everyone’s gaze turned their way, Nanny Fu’s eyes brightened upon seeing Qiuyue, and her gaze swiftly locked onto Doctor Tao among the crowd.

She rushed up immediately, grabbing Doctor Tao: "The doctor is here, please come and check on our mistress."

"How dare you!" An elderly lady, supported by a maid, quickly stepped out from the inner courtyard and scolded: "What are you doing? Fu Family’s lady is in labor, why are you stopping the midwife? Let the midwife in right away!"

After scolding Nanny Fu, she then sternly spoke to Doctor Tao, "Doctor, our family doesn’t need a doctor for now, please go back first."

"Old lady, the mistress is in such a condition, please let her see the doctor."

"Men and women should not touch; how can he, a man, enter the delivery room? You are harming your mistress, how can she face people in the future?"

Manbao ground her teeth in anger, but this wasn’t the time to argue. She turned to take the medicine chest from Shao, and said sternly: "Old lady, I am also a doctor. If you don’t let Doctor Tao check, can I go in instead?"

Qiuyue bent her knee, pulling Manbao to go inside.

"Wait a minute," the elderly lady hurriedly had someone stop them, glanced at Manbao, and said: "Who are you? How can a young girl enter the delivery room? How long are you going to continue this nonsense? Let the midwife in..."

While pushing aside the old lady blocking Manbao, Qiuyue shouted: "She is the famous miraculous young doctor of the capital..."

During this interlude, the midwife had already taken the opportunity to dodge Nanny Fu’s interception, grabbing her tools and rushing inside.

Seeing this, Nanny Fu lost her wits, screaming: "Stop her, she has scissors, she’s going to cut open the mistress’ abdomen..."

Fu Family’s dowry servants rushed over to block them, and Yue Family’s servants hurried to intervene; Qiuyue also panicked, Bai Shan and Manbao each grabbed a side of Qiuyue and slipped in through an opening...

Seeing a nanny stretching her arms to stop them, Bai Shan extended his hand, pushed her down, and shouted, "Run—"

Qiuyue clenched her teeth, grabbing Manbao and running towards the second courtyard.

Upon entering the courtyard, it was in complete chaos, even Doctor Tao was almost knocked to the ground, finally only Qiuyue and Manbao followed the midwife and squeezed out, sprinting one after another into the second courtyard.

Yue Family’s house also had only two sections; even smaller than their current rented house. Manbao immediately spotted the delivery room, as it was the only place with sounds and cries.

Manbao, carrying the medicine box, rushed in and saw a maid with her arms spread out in front of the bed, blocking the midwife who had just rushed in, screaming, "You can’t cut, you can’t cut, you are trying to kill our miss!"

The midwife stomped her feet anxiously, "Oh dear, madam, why don’t you understand? Your lady is in critical condition, the child is positioned sideways, she can’t give birth, the child is still alive, if we cut the belly there’s a chance to save one, if we delay any further, both will not survive."

"We must save the elder," the maid screamed, "Abort the child, we must save the elder!"

"Can you, a mere maid, make decisions for the household? This is the matron’s wish, she wants to save the younger one... Oh, what are you doing?"

Before she could finish, Qiuyue pushed her aside and pulled Manbao forward, telling the maid, "Chuncao, this is Miss Man, a miraculous healer, let her check on the miss."

Manbao had already rushed to the bedside, saw Wenyun with her eyes tightly shut, her belly large, breathing weakly, immediately checked her pulse, then opened the medicine box and took out a needle to prick her Renzhong point.

Wenyun felt the pain and slowly woke up, Manbao saw her eyes brighten and held her hand, saying, "Second Sister Fu, do you remember me? I am Manbao."

"Manbao?" Wenyun looked at her, murmuring, "Is it because I am dying that I see you?"

Manbao shook her head, "I have become a doctor, I am here to help you give birth."

Having said that, she reached out to feel her belly; each press caused Wenyun pain, due to the pain, she finally came to her senses, "You, you are real..."

Manbao lifted the quilt to check, hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, I am real, Second Sister Fu, you need to stay awake to give birth, how do you feel now?"

Wenyun softly said, "I am out of strength."

"It’s okay, I have medicine."

Manbao took out a bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, presenting it like a treasure to Wenyun, "This is Jishi Hall’s life-saving elixir, there is only this one left in the shop now, if you take it you will have strength."

She stuffed the pill into Wenyun’s mouth.

As Wenyun held it in her mouth, watching Manbao, she gradually chewed and swallowed it, her eyes moistening bit by bit.

Having opened her needle pack, Manbao unbuttoned Wenyun’s clothes, quickly inserted several needles, and encouraged her, "Second Sister Fu, the baby is sideways, but it’s okay, my hands are small, I’ll turn the baby back now, and we’ll start over, he will definitely be born."
