Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1387: Extra Episode 17: Has Given Birth

No one had anticipated that without undergoing labor pains, Mo Yan’s water would break first. By the time she was carried into the delivery room, apart from suppressed groans, she was in so much pain she couldn’t utter a complete sentence.

"Lady, you’re already dilated to six centimeters. It won’t be long before the baby is born. Try your best to bear the pain and keep from crying out loud. Save your strength to deliver the young master," the midwife advised.

The three midwives bustling around Mo Yan, however, were pleased. Although they felt that the breaking of the water before contractions wasn’t ideal, Mo Yan’s cervix was dilating smoothly and the baby was in a good position, which meant that dystocia was unlikely. The only concern was that her belly was excessively large, which could mean she would need to expend more effort.

"Ah...um...I know...ah—" Mo Yan managed to respond when suddenly, a wave of excruciating pain swept over her, feeling as if she was being torn apart, she let out a sharp cry of agony.

Xiao Ruiyuan, who rushed back as soon as he received the news, heard his wife’s scream the moment he entered. The look of nervousness on his face was instantly replaced by fear. Without a second thought, he made a beeline for the delivery room.

"Family Head, you must not," Xiao Eleven said, hurrying after him and attempting to block his path. "Lady is at a critical moment. If you barge in now, I fear it will cause a disturbance."

"Get out of my way—" Xiao Ruiyuan could no longer heed anyone else’s words. Channeling his Inner Strength into his palms, he pushed Xiao Eleven aside, kicked open the door of the delivery room, and strode in.

Xiao Eleven, unable to stop him and not daring to intrude, paced back and forth anxiously in the small hall.

"Since your Family Head has already gone in, your fretting is pointless. Better to send someone swiftly to inform Scholar Mansion. And while you’re at it, keep an eye on the situation there. Your Lady was about to give birth just two hours before Madam Mo was due," said Ting Lan.

Liu Tinglan, who hadn’t even thought about stopping anyone, didn’t think it was unlucky for a man to enter the delivery room. Seeing Xiao Ruiyuan charge in decisively, she felt relieved for her friend. But facing Xiao Eleven, who was acting as if the sky was falling, she was somewhat displeased and found a reason to send him away.

"Ah—alright, I’ll go now, right away," Xiao Eleven replied.

Having not yet received the news about Cui Qingrou also going into labor, Xiao Eleven, upon hearing this, set aside his concerns for his master and hurried out to send word to Scholar Mansion.

As the contractions became more frequent and intense with each wave, Mo Yan, lying on the bed, deeply regretted her inability to control her urge to eat, which had made her belly nearly as big as if she were carrying twins.

Even though the midwife had repeatedly assured her that the baby’s position was good, and Doctor Du comforted her that the baby was healthy, that her body was strong, and that she would certainly be able to deliver the baby smoothly, Mo Yan could not contain the panic in her heart. She feared the baby was too big to be born or that any delay in delivery would harm the child.

Amidst these swirling fears and concerns, Mo Yan felt an increasing pain in her abdomen, as if someone was brutally hammering her belly. She was close to breaking down, unable to help screaming out loud as she released the deep unease within her.

Seeing the figure surrounded by midwives on the bed, Xiao Ruiyuan swiftly approached and tightly grasped her hand, which was clutching the bedding: "Yanyan, don’t be afraid, I’m right here!" he reassured her.

Mo Yan, who was in so much pain that she struggled to stay conscious, forcefully opened her eyes to look in the direction of the familiar voice. Upon seeing her husband, who was looking at her with a face full of distress, she felt an overwhelming sense of grievance and started to sob uncontrollably. "My lord, it hurts so much, it hurts!"

Mo Yan had laughed, played, and pouted in front of Xiao Ruiyuan, but this was the first time she cried without caring about her image, expressing her pain and grievances.

People tend to hide their most vulnerable side, only letting it out without reservation in front of those closest to them because they know that person truly understands them, cherishes them, comforts them...

"Yanyan, I’m sorry... I’m so sorry..." I’m sorry. Having you by my side should have been enough. I shouldn’t have been greedy and wished for a child who has our blood flowing through its veins, yet I let you endure the pain of bringing it into this world alone. It was wrong of me... I shouldn’t have done this...

Xiao Ruiyuan held the woman’s hand tightly, kissing her damp cheek over and over, whispering in her ear, his heart filled with indescribable remorse.

"Ah—" A crushing wave of pain struck, preventing Mo Yan from sensing the man’s tenderness and regret. She unconsciously gripped his large hand and let out a pained scream.
