Inside the carriage, a woman dressed in a gorgeous dress was moaning in pain. Her head was covered in sweat, and her hands were clutching the maid next to her.

Wei Ruo looked down at the woman and found that the amniotic fluid^* had already broken, but the fetal position^* was not correct and difficult to give birth.

^*Amniotic fluid is a protective fluid for the fetus that is in the uterus and amniotic sac during pregnancy. In addition to allowing the fetus to move freely in the uterus before birth, amniotic fluid also functions to support the development of fetal organs, and to maintain a stable temperature in the uterus so that the fetus feels comfortable.

-fetal position is the positioning of the body of a fetus as it develops. Ideally for labor, the baby is positioned head-down, facing your back, with the chin tucked to its chest and the back of the head ready to enter the pelvis.

Thankfully, the amniotic fluid had not yet run out and the baby’s hand had not yet fully entered the birth canal^*.

^*Birth canal: The muscular canal that goes from the uterus to the outside of the body. During birth, the baby passes through the birth canal. Also called vagina. During labor and delivery, the baby must pass through your pelvic bones to reach the vaginal opening.

Wei Ruo dug out a cloth bag from the bamboo basket, which contained acupuncture kits and some commonly used medicines.

She took two slices of dried ginseng and took them out for the woman to swallow, and told the maid to get some water, preferably syrup or something similar, to feed for the woman.

Wei Ruo calmed the woman’s emotions and said: “Don’t cry, don’t shout. Save your strength. I will give you an acupuncture to relieve the pain now, and then help you to correct the fetal position. Don’t be nervous and try to relax as much as possible.”

What? Correct the fetal position?

Correct the fetal position at this time?

Furthermore, acupuncture?

The maids on both sides heard this and their faces turned pale.

This was something that even the most experienced midwife in the capital would not dare to do! It was too dangerous to correct the fetal position at this time!

Without any nonsense, Wei Ruo quickly washed her hands with the hot water on the carriage, opened the acupuncture bag, picked up the long, thin silver needles, untied the woman’s clothes and accurately injected the acupuncture in several positions.

After a while, more than ten silver needles were inserted into the woman’s body, easing her pain.

Then, under the disbelieving gaze of the two maids, she tucked the child’s outstretched hand back in!

The pupils of the maids trembled, and they almost cried out in fear.

Wei Ruo then put her hands on the stomach, gestured like Tai Chi, and pressed the fetus in the abdomen to rotate slowly.

The two maids inside the carriage who saw this scene were once again too shocked to speak, the baby inside the belly was really moving!

As the minutes ticked by, the people waiting outside the carriage became more and more anxious, as if they were being baked on a stove.

Was the girl from earlier really able to do it?

She could do it, right? What if it did not work?

God bless us, Buddha bless us!

An hour later, a baby’s cry broke through the gloom that hung over everyone’s heads.

The people looked at the carriage in great surprise, and then burst into cheers.

Accompanied by the cheers from the people outside, Wei Ruo in the carriage took care of the child’s umbilical cord, and then cleaned up the mother from the bleeding.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Wei Ruo let out a long breath before dragging her tired body out of the carriage.

After being told he could go in to see the lady, the well-dressed man couldn’t wait to get on the carriage to see his wife.

After a while, under the kind reminder from his wife, the man got out of the car to look for Wei Ruo, wanted to thank Wei Ruo and give her a big reward, but found that the woman who had just saved his wife had disappeared……

He clearly promised to that woman that he would give her prosperity and wealth, why did she leave without saying goodbye?

As we walked down the path home, Wei Ruo began to feel the pain.

She just gave the woman ginseng slices and used herbs to stop the bleeding. It was worth a lot of money!

Wei Ruo secretly thought, next time something like this happens, she must ask for some reward!

Wei Ruo was carrying the bamboo basket towards her home. She could have walked home in an hour or so, but she had used up too much energy saving people and could not walk any further.

Three hours later, a separate courtyard appeared in front of Wei Ruo.

This was the place where Wei Ruo lived for ten years: pitch black roof tiles, gray walls, greenish black bricks, faintly showing signs of decay.
