Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At the sound of Xue Yan’s voice, Dong Xue hurried into the room.

Xue Yan, on the other hand, walked step by step to Qiu Ju. She looked down at the woman lying on the ground and spoke in a cold voice, “Now, let’s see if you can still stay by Madam Yan’s side.”

“You… how dare you?”

The fury in Qiu Ju’s eyes was evident, but against Xue Yan’s unfeeling gaze, she dared not say another word, only staring at Xue Yan in silence.

Xue Yan did not look at Qiu Ju anymore but instead turned to Zhu Er, speaking coldly, “You watch them here, if anyone dares to go in, deal with them just like Qiu Ju.”

“Yes, Madam,” Zhu Er replied.

With that said, Xue Yan walked into the room.

Jiang Pei Huan had taken the ginger slice from Dong Xue’s hand and brought it to Zhong Yu’s mouth, she softly said, “Auntie Zhong, quickly, keep this ginger slice in your mouth.”

Exhausted, Zhong Yu still managed to open her mouth upon hearing Jiang Pei Huan’s voice.

Once the ginger slice was placed in Zhong Yu’s mouth, Jiang Peihuan turned to Ye Xiao, “Start the acupuncture.”

Ye Xiao nodded and quickly took out silver needles.

Her hands moved fast, and soon, Zhong Yu’s body was covered with silver needles.

“Ah…”

The needles were causing intense pain for Zhong Yu. Jiang Peihuan quickly comforted her, “Aunt Zhong, bear it a little longer. If you exhaust all your strength now, you won’t have any energy left for giving birth.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, Zhong Yu immediately clenched her teeth, not making a sound anymore.

“Miss, the baby has turned,” Ye Xiao, who was keeping an eye on Zhong Yu’s condition, called out as she saw the baby’s position shift. She quickly removed all the needles from Zhong Yu’s body.

“Eldest Miss, the ginseng soup is ready,” Dong Xue announced, having prepared the soup.

As Dong Xue was about to give the soup to Zhong Yu, the entering Xue Yan stepped forward, “Let me do it.”

“Thank you, Madam,” Dong Xue softly said as she handed the bowl to Xue Yan.

Sitting beside Zhong Yu’s bed, Xue Yan held the soup bowl in one hand and helped Zhong Yu up with the other, “Ah Yu, quickly drink this ginseng soup.” Zhong Yu drank all the soup, but as soon as she laid down, she felt a sharp pain in her belly followed by a warm rush.

“Miss, the birth canal is open,”

“Auntie Zhong, I can see the baby’s head, listen to my voice and push,”

“Ok.”

Zhong Yu mustered all her strength and nodded.

“All Yu, push harder, the baby is almost here…” Xue Yan said with a firm grip on Zhong Yu’s hand, her eyes welling up with tears.

“Auntie Zhong, quickly… the baby is about to come out!” Jiang Peihuan, who was experiencing childbirth for the first time, said with a touch of excitement in her eyes.

Zhong Yu, who regained some energy after drinking the ginseng soup, took a deep breath and used all her remaining strength. Immediately after, she passed out.

“All Yu?” Xue Yan looked at the unconscious Zhong Yu, a look of worry in her eyes.

“Eldest Miss, the baby is born,” announced Ye Xiao. Jiang Peihuan quickly stepped forward. The newborn, premature and tiny as a kitten, was quickly wrapped up in a blanket by Dong Xue.

Dong Xue quickly stepped forward and wrapped the child in a blanket.

Seeing that the baby was well taken care of, Xue Yan turned to Jiang Peihuan, “Huan Er, let Ye Xiao take a look at your Aunt Zhong.”

Ye Xiao came forward at once. After carefully examining Zhong Yu, she said to Xue Yan, “Madam, do not worry. Madam Zhong is fine. She’s just tired. I’ll have some medicine prepared, and she should wake up in an hour.”

“Mother, let’s step outside and let Auntie Zhong rest,” Jiang Peihuan suggested.

Hearing this, Xue Yan slowly stood up, then looked at Dong Xue, “Take good care of Ah Yu, I…”

“Who dares to cause trouble in my Yin family?” A piercing female voice came from outside before Xue Yan could finish.

Upon hearing this, both Xue Yan and Jiang Peihuan instinctively looked at Dong Xue, who replied angrily, “It’s Madam Yan.”

“She dares to come here? 1 didn’t go to her, yet she dares to trouble Ah Yu. Does she really think the Zhong family is far away in Qingzhou, and Ah Yu can be bullied by anyone?”

Before Jiang Pei Huan could react, Xue Yan pushed open the door and pulled out the whip at her waist.

This was the first time Jiang Peihuan had seen her mother so angry.

In her past life, Zhong Yu died along with her unborn child. At that time, Xue Yan had already suffered the pain of losing a child. Her best friend also tragically died. This greatly impacted Xue Yan.

Now, these incidents hadn’t happened yet. So wouldn’t Xue Yan stand up for Zhong Yu?

Although everyone knew that Xue Yan had been following Jiang Hong through his battles, they always thought she was gentle. Only Jiang Peihuan knew that her mother was never as mild as she appeared on the surface.

“Xue Yan, how dare you hit me, you… All!”

Jiang Peihuan had just stepped outside the door when she heard Madam Yan’s horrible screams.

Madam Yan was a daughter of the Yan family, but extremely beautiful. Since she married into the Yin family, she had been deeply loved by Yin Yang.

Although Zhong Yu was the legitimate daughter of the Zhong family and Yin Yang’s legal wife, Madam Yan never paid her any mind.

However, now that Xue Yan’s whip was lashing her own body, Madam Yan was somewhat scared. Especially when one of the whips landed directly on her face, Madam Yan screamed out in fright.

“My face…”

“Xue Yan, I’ll kill you!”

Madam Yan, although a concubine’s daughter from the Yan family, had some martial arts training from a young age. But these skills seemed insignificant in Xue Yan’s eyes.

In a short while, Madam Yan lay on the ground, covered in injuries.

Just then, footsteps could be heard from outside, followed by a man’s voice that reached everyone’s ears, “Madam Jiang, this is my Yin family’s place, not your Jiang’s. You dare to cause chaos in my house, do you really think my Yin family is scared of your Jiang family?”

The man who had arrived was none other than Yin Yang.

Seeing him appear, Madam Yan quickly crawled up from the ground, clung to his arm with tearful eyes, “My dear, you’re finally back. If you didn’t come back, I would have been beaten to death by Xue Yan.”

“With me here, would she dare?”

“Yin Yang, you dare protect her, do you know she almost caused Zhong Yu and her child’s deaths?”

“What do you mean by that?”

Hearing Xue Yan’s words, Yin Yang frowned and spoke with cold eyes.

“My dear, don’t listen to her nonsense. The mistress’s premature birth has nothing to do with me. I had already left for the country house with you.” Before Xue Yan could say anything, Madam Yan couldn’t help but interject. Hearing this, Xue Yan let out a cold laugh, slowly winding up the whip in her hand. She took two steps forward, and seeing her approach, Madam Yan instinctively stepped back two steps, retreating behind Yin Yang.

“Yin Yang, are you really confused or just pretending to be?”
