Han Yu’s heart ached when he heard Su Wenyue say this, and he held her hand, “The child must be well, and you must also be well.”
At that moment, a servant brought in the oxytocin. Han Yu took it and fed it to Su Wenyue. Shortly after, it took effect, and Su Wenyue’s stomach began to hurt spasmodically. Han Yu called Doctor Lin into the room.
Doctor Lin took Su Wenyue’s pulse, “The oxytocin is working, but the delivery is not that imminent. Take advantage of this time to eat something more, rest as much as possible, and conserve energy to prepare for the birth.”
Su Wenyue nodded. She wasn’t being delicate at this critical time, consuming a large bowl of the brown sugar eggs she hated most, in addition to a few other things Doctor Lin had instructed the kitchen to prepare. She hadn’t rested long before the pain struck again, and the midwife had already arrived, telling Han Yu to wait outside.
Han Yu watched Su Wenyue uneasily, not wanting to leave. His wife was in danger, and he couldn’t be at ease without watching her every second.
An Family’s matriarch had also come in with the midwife, and seeing her son-in-law this way, she was comforted by how much he cared for his daughter. However, she couldn’t just let him stay; a man’s presence was considered inappropriate during childbirth due to the belief that heavy blood and energy could attract bad luck, and others would criticize the Su Family for being improper if they found out.
“Son-in-law, don’t worry, I’m here. Men shouldn’t be in the room when a woman is giving birth. Please go outside,” she insisted.
“Mother-in-law, I can’t be at ease about Lady Yue, please let me accompany her!” Seeing Su Wenyue’s pale face and cold sweat, lying on the bed groaning, Han Yu this time did not comply with An Family’s matriarch as usual; instead, he insisted on staying.
“Son-in-law, the birthing room has heavy bloody energy, you might attract bad luck,” she warned.
Han Yu didn’t believe in that. The men in the military camp had blood on their hands countless times and weren’t afraid of such things.
“Mother-in-law, I don’t believe in that; I prefer to stay with Lady Yue,” he said firmly.
Seeing Han Yu so determined, the matriarch was at a loss; she couldn’t very well have someone drag her son-in-law out of the room.
Su Wenyue knew what An Family’s matriarch was thinking. Although she also wanted Han Yu to accompany her, it wasn’t appropriate. She bravely endured the pain and looked at Han Yu.
“Husband, please go out. With you here, the midwife can’t work properly,” Su Wenyue said with a weak push on Han Yu.
Hearing Su Wenyue say this, Han Yu gave the midwife a cold look, which made the midwife tremble with fear, and she promptly lowered her head, thinking that this master’s gaze was truly terrifying.
Seeing Han Yu like this, Su Wenyue would have laughed at his reaction if it weren’t for the overwhelming pain.
“Husband, don’t scare her. I know you’re worried about me, I’m alright. Please go out; I look so ugly and wretched like this, I don’t want you to see me in such a state,” she pleaded.
