Chapter 380 Liu Qing Gives Birth to a Child
After seeing Zuo Lengchan and his party off, he went to wash up first to get rid of the smell of alcohol on his body before going to the backyard to continue accompanying Liu Qing.

Liu Qing was holding a silver spoon, gently stirring the porridge in the bowl. This was pearl millet porridge specially made for her. She wanted to eat it when she smelled it, but when it was served, she lost her appetite.

Ou Zanghua walked over and naturally took the silver spoon from Liu Qing's hand. He carefully scooped up a spoonful, blew on it and tested the temperature before feeding it to Liu Qing's mouth.

Seeing this, Liu Qing's cheeks turned red. She felt shy but also a little sweet. She obediently opened her mouth and started eating.

She looked at her handsome husband with her beautiful eyes and asked softly, "Husband, do you think I am arrogant because of my favor?"

"What does it look like?"

Ou Zanghua smiled and said gently: "You didn't do anything, so how can you be arrogant because of your favor?"

Liu Qing swallowed the porridge and muttered, "Actually, I feel like I've been having a bad time these past few months. My mother even said that I must have met my husband, otherwise no man could stand me."

"That's because Qingqing is facing me, so she is so relaxed!" Ou Zanghua touched Liu Qing's hair and said calmly.

Liu Qing narrowed his eyes happily, and suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "By the way, Master Zuo and his family are coming to the capital this time, right? Will their families come too?"

"I just talked with Master Zuo and the others about their future plans. Considering the current situation, they decided to wait until everything is arranged before bringing their families to the capital for a reunion. After all, they don't even have a place to live yet, so everything needs to be considered carefully."

"So that's how it is!" Liu Qing nodded, thinking that Uncle Zuo and the others had thought it through very carefully.

At this moment, Liu Qing suddenly felt a stomachache, accompanied by an uncontrolled dripping sensation. A warm and moist liquid slid across her skin, bringing a strange and wonderful premonition.

Liu Qing's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily and his breathing became rapid.

Ou Zanghua noticed Liu Qing's abnormality at the first time. His expression changed immediately and he asked nervously, "Qingqing, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Qing held Ou Zanghua's warm hand tightly with one hand for comfort, and covered her abdomen with the other hand but dared not use force. She tried hard to suppress her trembling voice due to pain: "Husband, I, I am in so much pain"

As he spoke, beads of sweat already covered Liu Qing's forehead.

Ou Zanghua's pupils shrank, and he immediately picked up Liu Qing and flew to the delivery room that had been prepared in advance, shouting, "Master Ding Xian, Female Doctor Tan, come quickly!"

The two people who were studying medical books heard Ou Zanghua's voice, looked at each other, and immediately rushed out of the room.

When Master Dingxian saw Madam Ouyang trotting over in a panic, she immediately ordered, "Madam, prepare hot water and ginseng soup, as well as towels and a change of clothes."

"Okay, okay, okay," Mrs. Ouyang responded repeatedly.

After Ou Zanghua carefully sent Liu Qing into the delivery room, hurried and orderly footsteps were immediately heard outside the door. Doctor Tan and Master Ding Xian arrived almost at the same time.

Doctor Tan quickly scanned the room with sharp eyes, and then exchanged glances with Master Ding Xian. The two of them directed the busy maids in tacit understanding to close the doors and windows one by one to ensure that the delivery room was warm and private.

Looking towards the bed again, he saw Ou Zanghua still standing beside Liu Qing, holding the other's hand tightly, and using his moderate and peaceful Taoist internal force to relieve Liu Qing's pain.

"Husband."

Liu Qing's eyes turned red. She endured the severe pain and whispered, "Get out quickly. It will be unlucky to come into contact with women giving birth. It will affect your luck."

Upon hearing this, Ou Zanghua frowned, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he growled, "What a bullshit luck! In my eyes, your safety is more important than anything else!" Master Ding Xian came over and said seriously, "Nephew Ou, I know you are worried, but at this moment, if you stay here, it will not benefit Qingqing, and it will also affect me and Doctor Tan, so please get out quickly!"

"Husband, please go out." Liu Qing said, gritting her teeth and trying to pull back her hand.

"Okay, I'll be outside." Ou Zanghua's eyes also turned red. He nodded, let go of Liu Qing's hand, bowed deeply to Master Ding Xian and Female Doctor Tan, and said, "Please do your best. Qingqing's safety is the most important thing."

After saying that, he turned and walked out.

As the wooden door behind him closed with a heavy "snap", Ou Zanghua stood under the eaves, looking particularly lonely. His face was tense, and his eyes were full of tension and worry that could not be concealed.

At this time, the Ou Mansion was shrouded in an inexplicable atmosphere of tension. The air was filled with a feeling of both expectation and fear, and everyone's heart was hanging in their throat. The servants hurried but maintained an orderly pace. They either whispered to each other or prayed silently, hoping to do their part for the kind and gentle mistress.

Upon hearing that Liu Qing was about to give birth, Yue Lingshan became extremely anxious. She involuntarily quickened her pace and almost trotted to the scene.

When she saw Ou Zanghua standing alone under the eaves, his loneliness and helplessness were like fallen leaves in the cold wind, and it was also a sense of powerlessness that she had never seen in this man before. This scene deeply touched her heart.

Yue Lingshan walked over quietly, stood beside Ou Zanghua, and reached out to hold his hand.

Ou Zanghua was startled, but when he turned around and saw that it was Yue Lingshan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, please don't worry. Since my wife became pregnant, she has been well taken care of by everyone in the mansion. She is in good health and in a good mood. This delivery will surely be smooth and safe without any problems." Yue Lingshan's words gently and firmly comforted Ou Zanghua, and also comforted herself.

Liu Qing had always treated her well and even personally purchased a property for her to make it easier for her to get married.

Therefore, Yue Lingshan never thought of competing for favor with Liu Qing, and she sincerely hoped that she and her child would be safe.

In the delivery room, an hour passed and Liu Qing felt strong contractions. Her abdomen seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible force. The pain came like a tide, wave after wave, almost drowning her.

Liu Qing tightly grasped the bed sheets beneath her, her fingers turning white from the effort, her breathing became rapid and heavy, and every exhalation was accompanied by a groan.

Ou Zanghua stood at the door, hearing the intermittent moans of pain coming from the delivery room. The sound was like a sharp blade, cutting his heart again and again.

His face gradually turned pale, and his eyes revealed anxiety and fear that were difficult to conceal. Those ancient legends about production risks hovered in his mind like dark clouds, and he couldn't help but fall into deep worry.

In this era, medical technology was not yet developed, and there was no caesarean section in the modern sense. Every childbirth was like wandering on the edge of hell, full of unknowns and dangers. Ou Zanghua knew this very well. He could not imagine the pain and struggle his beloved was going through, and was even more afraid that the misfortune would befall her.

Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Yue Lingshan's forehead. She felt the power coming from Ou Zanghua's palm. The power was so great that she felt that her hand bones were being squeezed to the brink of breaking, but she did not make a sound, but endured it silently.

After another half an hour, Liu Qing suddenly felt a pile of warm things sliding out, and then he felt much lighter all over, and the pain was much less.

The next moment, a loud cry was heard. Doctor Tan held a wrinkled little baby who couldn't even open his eyes and was crying loudly, and placed it next to Liu Qing. She smiled and said, "Congratulations, Madam Ou, on the birth of your precious baby."

Nun Dingxian also smiled and said, "He weighs 15.7 pounds, has a loud voice, and strong hands and feet. He is a healthy and good child."

"This baby..." Liu Qing turned her head and looked at the little person who was leaning against her and gradually became quiet, tears streaming down her face, "It's so ugly. My husband is so handsome."
