The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 339 - 203: A New Addition to the Xia Mansion

Chapter 339: Chapter 203: A New Addition to the Xia Mansion

It turns out that Panpan’s words were not just casually spoken.

That night, Xiao Chunyu, in her sleep, felt stomach pain, different from fetal movement, as it hurt intermittently.

Listening to the outside clock striking, Xiao Chunyu knew it was the hour of Yin.

She thought of waiting until Xia Guangcheng went to court in the morning before calling Nanny Zhou herself.

"What’s wrong, Yu’er?"

The person beside her unexpectedly pulled her over.

"Hiss..."

Xiao Chunyu couldn’t help but moan aloud.

"What’s wrong?"

"It hurts, my stomach hurts."

"People, come here."

Xia Guangcheng immediately shouted loudly: "Quickly fetch a doctor..."

"No need, call the midwife." Xiao Chunyu said softly: "I might be going into labor."

"Ah?" Xia Guangcheng said with surprise: "Didn’t you say before there’s about a month left, why is it early?"

How would Xiao Chunyu know why it was early?

It must be Panpan that made him early then.

"Is this child so eager to come out because he wants to be born on the same day as his sister?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Only then did Xiao Chunyu remember that today really was Panpan’s fourth birthday.

"That might actually be true." Xiao Chunyu said: "No wonder, yesterday Panpan said the little brother was coming out. Husband, if we have a daughter..."

"Dear, don’t overthink, be it a son or a daughter, I will love them both, don’t have any burden in your heart."

Indeed, Xiao Chunyu still felt quite burdened.

"Husband, quickly change and go to court. I’m alright."

"I’m taking a leave today from court." Xia Guangcheng said: "You always put yourself last, how could I not be there for such an important event? If there were wars at the border, that would be another story, but I’m clearly in the capital, if you give birth and I still go to court, I won’t be able to concentrate."

"But affairs at court are very important?"

"Without Xia Guangcheng, others are present at court, missing court today won’t leave any regrets. But at home, without me, it’ll just be you and mother." Xia Guangcheng said: "In your hardest and most painful time today, I wouldn’t be by your side, if the child is born and I don’t hold him first, such regret will stay with me for life."

"I..."

What a fortune, finally someone putting her at the centerpiece of their heart!

Xiao Chunyu cried tears of happiness.

"Why are you crying, what’s wrong, is it hurting a lot?"

Xia Guangcheng was anxious.

"No, I am happy."

This... alright, he doesn’t understand women, crying when happy, crying when sad!

"If it hurts, just tell me."

Xiao Chunyu immediately broke into a smile through her tears. Telling him about the pain, what’s the use?

He can’t endure the pain for her after all.

"You can bite my hand."

Xia Guangcheng extended his hand: "Back when at the border, Zhaang Chenghai was injured and needed to scrap bones, but we had no Powder for Anesthesia, so the doctor gave him a wooden stick to bite on, and he bit it to pieces. I held him, seeing his pain, simply extended my arm for him to bite on."

Xiao Chunyu looked at his arm with concern.

"It must’ve hurt a lot, right?"

"No pain, it relieves it." Xia Guangcheng said earnestly: "Zhaang Chenghai personally tested it, he said while biting my arm his teeth hurt so much, he forgot the wound hurt. You can bite my arm too, but bite gently, otherwise, toothache could be unbearable, it’s just to distract from the pain a bit."

What kind of nonsense is this?

Xiao Chunyu was both annoyed and amused.

But sometimes, this man says jokes earnestly, leaving her laughing and crying.

"Hiss..."

As they spoke, another wave of pain hit.

"General, madam, Mrs. Xia and the doctor, midwife have arrived."

Molan reported softly from the outside.

"How did we alarm Mrs. Xia?" Xiao Chunyu said: "Mrs. Xia should just rest well."

"Yu’er, you’re going into labor, how could I sleep?"

Mrs. Xia had long instructed Nanny Zhou to inform her no matter when it started, she had to watch personally to feel assured.

"Troubling mother indeed."

Xiao Chunyu was deeply moved again.

In the middle of the night, the elderly woman rose, and her man who should have been at court took leave to stay with her.

This feeling of being valued and cared for warmed her heart.

"Yu’er, eat more later to gather strength for labor, I’ve already instructed the kitchen to prepare some food for you, it will arrive soon."

"Okay."

Xiao Chunyu had gone through childbirth before, the suffering she had during Panpan’s birth wouldn’t happen now.

Soon the kitchen delivered some stew.

Still, it was Xiao Chunyu’s favorite.

The stew normally takes half an hour to cook, arriving so quickly surprised Xiao Chunyu.

"Mrs. Xia instructed the kitchen, after hearing from Miss Panpan that the little brother was coming, she specially ordered to cook it every night for you to eat when you’re hungry."
