Chapter 1019 -1018 Crisis

Chou Chou squinted his eyes; the more he looked at the woman opposite him, the more familiar she seemed. It was truly strange.

The woman across from him kept smiling gently, and after carefully wiping the grease from the corners of his mouth, she reached out to touch his cheek. But just as her hand was about to make contact, she quickly pulled it back.

“Good boy! Come on, eat some more. Look at you, you seem to have lost quite a bit of weight lately. Haven’t you been eating well back home?”

The woman picked up the chopsticks and put more meat into Chou Chou’s bowl.

“Really? Have I actually lost weight recently? That’s great! Now my mom won’t call me Little Chubby anymore!”

Chou Chou jumped three feet high, brimming with excitement.

In secret, he added another point to his mental notes about this person: She was very familiar with him, she had definitely seen him before.

However, the problem was that he also felt very familiar with her; he just could not remember where he had seen her before.

“When Chou Chou gets back, I’ll have to grumble to my mom. Madam, you have no idea how horrid she can be. She always calls me fat whenever she sees me snacking, not only that, but she always forbids me this and that, it’s so annoying!”

“How can you speak so ill of your mom? ‘A son does not denounce his father’s faults, nor shuns his mother’s ugliness.’ How can you speak openly about your own mother’s mistakes? Good boy! Your mom does everything for your own good.” The woman chastised Chou Chou with heartfelt earnestness, her face brimming with maternal love, as if the person sitting opposite her was indeed her junior.

Chou Chou immediately bowed his head, showing a repentant attitude: “Chou Chou is at fault, I won’t say these things again.”

It seemed that the woman considered him one of her own and was taking great care to educate him. Chou Chou felt increasingly weird about the whole situation.

“You, you’re just a child but crafty as can be…”

The woman put down her handkerchief and her face was full of sheer adoration: “Don’t overthink it. There are only a few hours left until daybreak. After you’ve had your fill, have a good sleep. When you wake up, I’ll take you home. How about that?”

These words finally brought a look of surprise to Chou Chou’s face; the woman had noticed his subtle probing!

Now that his intentions had been discovered, Chou Chou relaxed and threw himself into the woman’s arms.

“Madam, you are so kind—Chou Chou was just worried, worried that he would never see his mother again, that’s why… I didn’t mean it!”

Chou Chou admitted his guilt with remarkable speed, speaking without hesitation.

The woman could not help but tighten her embrace: “Foolish child… don’t be sad, darling! Eat up, and then go over to the bed I’ve prepared for you and get some rest. Once daybreak comes, I’ll send you home.”

Such a sharp-witted child would be difficult to deceive, and now it seemed she could be at ease about his safety in the future.

Chou Chou, having had his fill and cleaned up by several maids, finally collapsed into a deep sleep at the head of the bed.

Not a hint of confusion over being in a strange place controlled by bad guys.

–

While Chou Chou slept soundly, Feng’er had a tumultuous night.

By the time everything was fully taken care of, the horizon had begun to turn pale.

“Princess, you haven’t slept all night. Would you like to lie down for a while? By daybreak they are sure to arrive,” Ms. Gao said softly.

Last night, Old Master Marquis hadn’t returned home; he must have gone to Gongzhou City with Lord Gan Tianyou.

Di Cheng arrived in the middle of the night, and after ensuring Feng’er was alright for the time being, led the search for Chou Chou’s whereabouts.

“It’s okay, I’m not tired yet. Ms. Gao, is there any news about Chou Chou from over there?”

“No news yet.”

No news is good news.

“If only Di Yelei could hurry back home sooner,” she hoped.

Turning her head, she saw the two midwives who had long since been unable to stay awake, dozing off at the table. Liu Sisi then turned her gaze to Feng’er.

“Has Feng’er been in a coma since last night? It has been four hours, hasn’t it?”

“Yes, four hours. She should wake up once daybreak comes. Judging by her rosy cheeks, she should be fine.”

Liu Sisi’s lips curled slightly, but she did not respond.

Many cases of severe postpartum hemorrhage occur within the first 24 hours after childbirth. To say she is out of danger at present is still premature.

Especially considering how the once gradually relaxed midwives now frequently glanced at Feng’er, whispering secretly when they faced away from her, their expressions growing increasingly tense; Liu Sisi’s heart was sinking slowly.

Others might not have noticed, but Liu Sisi, who was always closely watching the two, could tell that Feng’er’s cheeks were unnaturally red — it seemed that the bleeding was threatening to surge forth again!

Which meant, the medicine the midwives had given Feng’er to stop the bleeding was losing its effect!

As she saw the two midwives keep giving each other covert glances, trying to hide something, Liu Sisi could no longer sit still.

“Enough, you two stop pretending to sleep. After everything that’s happened, do you still think you can deceive me? What exactly is going on right now, tell me!”

Her words frightened the midwives to the point that they could no longer feign sleep. They quickly rose from their chairs and fell to the floor, kowtowing: “Princess, spare our lives! This, this Madam seems to have a uterine hemorrhage. It’s out of our hands now.”

The two midwives’ faces were ashen, their expressions bleak.

Liu Sisi’s head buzzed and her body swayed, nearly toppling to the ground.

“Didn’t you say that the poison would stop the bleeding and would take three days to act? How could it act so quickly? What about the soup medicine for stopping blood now? Is that also useless?”

“Most people do indeed stop bleeding, but there are also those for whom it not only doesn’t help but could even hasten death. I have mentioned this before…”

As Liu Sisi’s face grew increasingly dark, the two people kowtowed as if pounding garlic: “Princess, spare us, please spare our lives! We didn’t want a situation like this to happen either!”

Smack!

A heavy slap landed on the bedside cabinet. The plea for mercy didn’t quell Liu Sisi’s anger; instead, it further stoked the fury in her heart.

“Scoundrels! Guards, take these two away, lock them up in the office jail of the county government, and wait for their punishment!”

“Princess, spare our lives—”

The pleas for mercy from the two gradually faded away, increasing Liu Sisi’s anxiety.

Feeling agitated, she paced the room, making two circuits before turning back to look at Feng’er in the bed.

“Someone! Go fetch Di Cheng immediately. Once you find him, order him to rush over here and say that Feng’er is in trouble. Go quickly!”

The servants, naturally, dare not delay and scurried off rapidly.

The few maids in the room were also extremely nervous, fearing they might become the target of her anger.

“Hurry and bring all the doctors from the county here. If anyone dares to disobey the order and not come, bring them to me by force. If you encounter those who make excuses and are unwilling to come, execute them on the spot!”

At that moment, Liu Sisi transformed into an Asura, her face filled with madness, not showing a hint of her usual gentleness.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Everyone sprang into action, and the sound of running echoed in all directions.

The commotion here quickly reached Ironsmith Fan’s ears, and without further consideration, he barged straight in.
