Chapter 1055 Attacked
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, her sister-in-law's abdominal cramps had subsided considerably. Ouyang Yunyao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and her sister-in-law finally caught her breath, saying in a hoarse voice, "Yao'er, I feel much better."
Ouyang Yunyao nodded and said gently, "Yes, the babies will be born in about an hour. Sister-in-law, you should eat something now to save your strength, because you'll need to help with the two babies later."
The two midwives, seeing that the young mistress had taken the pills given by Princess Jing and was no longer curled up in pain, looked at Ouyang Yunyao with eyes full of admiration. They hurriedly echoed, "Yes, yes, young mistress, Princess Jing is absolutely right! You should eat something now so you'll have the strength to give birth later."
Seeing her sister-in-law nod slightly, Ouyang Yunyao called out to the outside, "Mother, my sister-in-law is feeling better now. She can eat something to replenish her strength. Please have someone make some and send it over quickly."
Outside, Ouyang Yunyao's mother, elder brother, and second aunt were all filled with worry and their hearts were clenched as they listened to the heart-wrenching cries of pain coming from inside.
Her older brother was so anxious that he paced back and forth, his brows furrowed tightly, unable to calm down at all.
At that moment, upon hearing Ouyang Yunyao's shout, the group felt as if it were heavenly music, and their hearts finally settled. Ouyang Yunyao's mother responded repeatedly, "Oh, coming, coming!" and hurried towards the inner room, followed by her eldest brother.
He and his second aunt followed closely behind, pushing open the door and rushing in together.
"Yaoyao, is your sister-in-law really not in pain anymore? Will the baby come out today?" Ouyang Yunyao's mother asked anxiously as soon as she entered the door.
As soon as she finished speaking, her sister-in-law's personal maid came in carrying a warm steamed egg custard, which was food that Ouyang Yunyao's mother had ordered to be prepared long ago.
Her older brother quickly took the steamed egg custard and turned to look at Ouyang Yunyao, "Yao'er, can your sister-in-law eat this in her condition?"
"Yes, she can eat! We just need to make sure she eats something quickly, brother. She'll be going into labor in about an hour, so please feed her something so she can have enough strength."
"Good, good! Yao Yao, we really owe you a lot today." The older brother was full of gratitude and carefully held the bowl, personally feeding his sister-in-law spoonful by spoonful.
Seeing this, Ouyang Yunyao spoke softly to her mother and second aunt: "Mother, second aunt, my eldest brother is here to look after things, and the midwives are also here. You should go outside and rest for a while. We will be with my sister-in-law later."
Seeing that her sister-in-law Xue'er looked better and was indeed not in as much pain as before, the two were relieved and left the inner room together.
Everything was exactly as Ouyang Yunyao had predicted. About an hour later, her sister-in-law's contractions returned. Because she had taken the painkillers Ouyang Yunyao had given her earlier, which would have relieved the pain for three hours, the pain wasn't too severe, and her sister-in-law could grit her teeth and bear it.
At this moment, her elder brother Ouyang Yunyu saw that his wife was in pain again, so he quickly came out from the inner room. "Yaoyao, go and take a look at your sister-in-law. Her stomach is hurting again."
"She's probably about to give birth. Brother, you wait in the outer room. Mother, Aunt, and I will go in to keep sister-in-law company. Don't worry!"
After Ouyang Yunyao finished speaking, she didn't let her eldest brother go in. She went into the inner room with her mother and second aunt.
Her mother and second aunt quickly came to her sister-in-law's side and stayed with her. She herself, along with the two midwives, observed her sister-in-law's condition and paid attention to the movement of the amniotic fluid.
In just a moment, her sister-in-law began to moan softly, her lower body completely wet.
"The water's broken! The water's broken! The baby's coming out soon!" the two midwives said at the same time.
They immediately prepared to deliver the baby. One of the midwives shouted to her sister-in-law, "Young mistress, push harder! The baby is about to come out!"
Ouyang Yunyao's mother also held her sister-in-law's hand tightly, giving her strength and supporting her. Her second aunt stood aside, constantly wiping the sweat rolling down her sister-in-law's forehead.
Ouyang Yunyao encouraged from the side, "Sister-in-law, push harder, the baby's head is already out... give it your all!"
Just then, one of the midwives rang out with a joyful voice, "It's out! The baby's out!"
A clear, loud cry suddenly rang out in the room, shattering the tension that filled the room.
A midwife carefully carried out a tiny baby, her face beaming with joy, and announced loudly, "Madam, great news! The young mistress has given birth to a little prince!"
"Boy or girl, it's all good, as long as the mother and child are safe and sound!" Yan Yuxin said happily, and reached out to take the baby who had been cleaned by the midwife, carefully holding it in her arms.
No sooner had this been done than another midwife suddenly exclaimed with delight, "There's another baby! There's another baby!"
After some more effort, a soft, sweet cry rang out shortly afterward. The midwife smiled and picked up the other baby, exclaiming, "Madam, it's a little girl!"
The room was filled with joy as the two midwives congratulated her in unison: "Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations to the General's Mansion! You have been blessed with twins, a boy and a girl!"
……
On the other side, Chu Chenjing had just come out of the palace and was about to mount his horse at the palace gate when An Yi flew up to report, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort sent me to report that she has returned to the General's Mansion first, and the eldest young mistress is about to give birth."
Upon hearing this, Chu Chenjing nodded to indicate that he understood, and then secretly slipped away.
At this moment, Chu Chenjing said to Chu Feng behind him, "Let's go to the General's Mansion."
As soon as Chu Chenjing stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion, he felt the joyful atmosphere throughout the courtyard. He quickly went to the hall and saw his father-in-law with his lips curled up in a wide smile, his eyes and brows filled with happiness.
"Young son-in-law, congratulations, father-in-law." Chu Chenjing stepped forward quickly and bowed.
Ouyang Xiao laughed loudly, "Hahaha! You found out so quickly, it seems Yao'er had someone inform you?"
"I only heard that Yao Yao returned to the General's Mansion. As soon as she entered the mansion, I heard that my elder brother had twins, a boy and a girl."
"That's right! That's right! Everyone in the manor received a red envelope." Ouyang Xiao said happily.
Before he finished speaking, Chu Feng hurriedly entered the hall, bowed to Ouyang Xiao, and said, "Chu Feng greets General Ouyang."
Immediately, he turned to Chu Chenjing and called out, "Your Highness! I have something to report!"
Seeing that his expression was off, Chu Chenjing frowned and his heart sank slightly. He then said coldly, "What is it? Just say it!" He had no intention of hiding anything from Ouyang Xiao now.
Ouyang Xiao was taken aback when he heard this.
Chu Feng was initially worried that it wouldn't be good to say anything about the joyous occasion at the General's Mansion in front of General Ouyang, but since the Prince had spoken, he quickly said, "Your Highness! Leng Yi sent an urgent report that their convoy escorting Prince Jolif was attacked halfway..."
