Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess
Chapter 721 - Encounter a Lying-in Woman on the Way
It was reasonable for Qinghu to get mad. After all, they had gotten into some sticky situations before. If this man was really a troublemaker, they certainly could not ignore him.
"Let's send someone to find out about the situation. It's inadvisable for us to confront them too early," after pondering for a while, Lin Mengya stopped Qinghu from taking action.
She had seen how ruthless Qinghu was. Although the man was shrewd, he didn't seem to be the kind of cunning and shameless people they had met before.
"Okay, have a good rest here. I'll go and have a talk with them," Qinghu said, pronouncing the two simple words "a talk" in a ghastly and bloodcurdling tone.
Nevertheless, she did not mind Qinghu's going to threaten them if he could make them beat a retreat in the face of difficulties.
Going back to the carriage and sitting down, Lin Mengya quietly read the book in her hands. But after a while, Qinghu showed up in front of her again with his face darkening.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows and thought, "The man could make Qinghu return without accomplishing anything. He seems to be a tough nut to crack."
"What happened? It seems that they pissed you off?" Lin Mengya asked with a faint smile as she stared at Qinghu in front of her.
To her surprise, Qinghu just looked back indignantly and then mounted his horse without saying a word.
Lin Mengya couldn't help feeling astonished and looked back curiously, wondering what had happened.
Although Qinghu soon returned to normal, Lin Mengya could obviously sense that he became much more reticent after coming back from there.
He just looked back occasionally with an aggrieved and horrible look in his eyes, while keeping moving forward reluctantly.
Lin Mengya rested her chin on her hands as she cast glances at Qinghu and the group of people stalking them at a certain distance.
She became increasingly curious about what made Qinghu resign himself to this.
However, no matter how hard she tried to find out about it, Qinghu just kept quiet and refused to say a word.
As such, Lin Mengya could only let it be. Anyway, since Qinghu tacitly consented to this, those people probably would not do any harm to her.
After spending seven days on the way, they finally arrived at a place to stay temporarily.
Compared with a big town where plenty of people came and went and news spread fast, a secluded small village was a more reliable choice.
However, the moment Lin Mengya alighted from the carriage, she saw that those people stalking them all the time had also arrived here to stay temporarily. Moreover, Qinghu did not voice any objections. She could not help looking towards the horizon, wondering if the sun were to rise in the west tomorrow.
Qinghu had arranged all their temporary accommodations along the way.
However, as soon as they entered the village, Lin Mengya saw that the village, which was supposed to be quiet, was now bustling with people coming and going.
It was almost time for dinner. Could it be that they were so lucky to arrive here while a wedding banquet was being held?
"Go and find out what's going on," Qinghu gave an order.
Lin Mengya didn't intend to meddle in this, but Qinghu, who had been in a bad mood along the way, found these people nuisances.
He had paid a large sum of money for reserving the whole village, so that the villagers could stay at home quietly and not come out to disturb them during their stay here.
What was going on now? What made the villagers think they could trick him at will?
Perhaps the villagers had sensed Qinghu's chilling aura, so they consciously made a detour to avoid meeting him.
All of them looked anxious. Did something serious happen in the village?
Not long after, those Qinghu sent to inquire about the situation returned.
It was only then that Lin Mengya learned that the reason why all villagers, that were not many in number, came out in droves was that the daughter-in-law of a family in the village was in labor.
Coincidentally, the woman, who had never been pregnant in the past ten years, now was pregnant with twins.
However, these two babies, with whom the woman was pregnant after all this time, were now striving to be the first to come to this world, which gave the woman, who was fortunate and unfortunate at the same time, a hard time.
Several midwives had gone to help, but none of them could find a solution.
Seeing that the woman and her babies were about to die, her parents-in-law's family and her parents' family started quarreling, which alarmed the villagers so that they all rushed to that family.
"A woman in labor?" Qinghu said.
His expression softened a little when he heard his subordinates' report.
At least, the villagers did not exactly turn a deaf ear to his words.
Nevertheless, he, who had always been aloof, had no sympathy even when he heard of the woman's dangerous situation.
He tried to push Lin Mengya to the courtyard he had rented for a rest, but she dragged his sleeve.
Qinghu lowered his head helplessly and looked straight into Lin Mengya's clear eyes.
"Don't tell me that you're going to meddle in someone else's business again," he said, seeming to have resigned himself to her decision. He knew Lin Mengya the best. It seemed to be difficult to make her stand aside when someone else was in peril.
"Let's go and check out the situation. At least these villagers have provided us with accommodation. Although I'm in poor health, at least I can help them, right? If my mother got some help back then, she might not have passed away and left my brother and me behind," by the time she finished speaking, her voice was so low that only Qinghu could barely hear it.
Qinghu had rarely heard Lin Mengya mention her mother, but from the conversations of others, he had a general understanding of Lin Mengya's mother.
It was said that Madam Lin was wise and farsighted, benevolent and proficient in medical skills. Everyone in the Lin's Mansion spoke highly of her.
Now Lin Mengya was becoming increasingly like her mother, but she was more decisive and of valor she took after the ancestors of the Lin Family.
At the moment, under Lin Mengya's hopeful gaze, Qinghu couldn't say no.
He sighed lightly and finally shook his head. After instructing his subordinates to wait in the yard, he pushed Lin Mengya towards the peasant family, where the villagers had gone.
After the short dusk, night had fallen.
The peasant family lived in the center of the village and was crowded at this time.
The villagers' fervent discussions were mixed with a few wails.
Lin Mengya frowned. It seemed that the woman was still alive, but those wailing people acted as if mourning for the woman, which was inauspicious.
More importantly, it was rather inappropriate to do so in this situation.
Among the villagers, Lin Mengya and Qinghu were conspicuous.
The old man, the only person in charge of the village, noticed the two strangers at once.
Although he had not met Qinghu, this generous customer, before, he could tell that the two of them were not common people.
He immediately put away his bitter face, walked briskly to the two of them, and said, "Two honored guests, you have come from afar, but we are not attentive enough to you. I hope you could forgive us."
Qinghu did not make a proper response, but Lin Mengya could not be rude.
After greeting the old man with a nod, she mentioned the situation in the yard, "We heard that the daughter-in-law of this family was in trouble, so we came to check it out. If you could use some help from us, just tell us."
Lin Mengya's gentle attitude, coupled with the fact that she was a delicate girl, made the old man let down his guard.
He immediately let out a deep sigh.
"Alas, the daughter-in-law of the Tian Family is unlucky. Delivery is a near-death experience for women. It depends on her fate whether she can go through it or not. You're an honored guest. How can we bother you with this kind of thing?" He refused Lin Mengya tactfully.
It seemed that the old man didn't trust them.
Nevertheless, as they were outsiders, it was reasonable for the old man to turn down their rash request to help.
However, Lin Mengya found the increasingly loud cries in the courtyard a little harsh.
Just when she was about to convince the old man to let them in to help, she heard someone curse.
"My daughter is not dead yet! Why are you wailing here! If you hadn't believed those people's nonsense and allowed them to use safflower to induce labor, my daughter... wouldn't have suffered metrorrhagia! Now since my grandchildren and daughter can't survive, you should pay for their lives with your life!" The person said with grief and indignation.
Although she tried hard to suppress her sobs, she sounded much more sincere than the wailing person.
It must be a dispute between the woman's mother-in-law and mother. To be honest, Lin Mengya had encountered similar situations before.
However, it was quite inappropriate for them to fight while the woman was on the verge of death.
"Sir, please let me check on her. To tell you the truth, I inherited my medical skill from my family, and I'm very experienced in gynecology and obstetrics. Rest assured. I promise I can handle it!" Lin Mengya said anxiously.
If the midwives really used safflower to induce labor and the woman was suffering metrorrhagia at the moment as the two people said, the woman would probably die.
Now the two people began to fight, which made the situation even more chaotic and disturbed the midwives and the woman's family members.
With no one to preside over the situation now, the woman and her babies would really die!
However, Lin Mengya looked very young and was an outsider, so the old man still could not trust her.
He, who was in a dilemma, was inclined to turn down Lin Mengya's request to help.
Lin Mengya furrowed her brows, thinking she probably would have to break in rashly if there was no other way.
Unexpectedly, someone came forward to support her at this moment.
