When the two servants heard this, they quickly raised their tear-stained faces and asked, “Won’t you die if you draw blood?”

Xiao Qing rolled her eyes and said angrily: “I’ll cut a small part of your hand now, will you die if you bleed a little?”

Those two people seemed to understand, that’s right, with so much blood on a person’s body, as long as they don’t drain it, they won’t die after all.

Cheng Shuping said: “If your blood can save the eldest young madam, I will reward you very much.”

The two servants immediately burst into laughter and thanked Cheng Shuping repeatedly.

Those people who felt lucky at first were now envious. They will only lose a small amount of blood, but they can get a reward, and they can earn the reputation of saving the eldest young madam. How wonderful would that be?

Xiao Qing was in charge of blood collection, while Bai Zhi prepared the tools for the operation inside. With Dong Mei’s current situation, it was impossible to have a normal delivery, so she had to have a cesarean section.

Dong Mei was dying of pain, screaming one after another. Cheng Shuping burst into tears in the courtyard, constantly scolding himself for being worthless. They already have four daughters, why should his wife be subjected to this kind of torture again?

Hearing Dong Mei’s painful cries, Chu Yan also felt very uncomfortable.

This was the first time he had heard a woman’s cries of pain during childbirth so clearly. He had always known that childbirth must be painful.

But he never thought that it would hurt like this.

What should Bai Zhi do if it hurts so much to give birth to a baby in the future? He didn’t want her to suffer like this.

Cheng Zuo went back to his wife’s courtyard and pointed at Madam Cheng who was sitting on the bed in a daze, then scolded: “Look at what you have done, what did the eldest daughter-in-law do to you? You are so vicious, you want to put the mother and child at their mercy. If she doesn’t survive today, tell me, how will you pay for this dead body and two lives?”

Madam Cheng didn’t know that things would turn into such a mess. This kind of thing was not new in the back house. If it was handled properly, it will not be known by men at all. God knows what bad luck happened to her. Not only that Bai Zhi comes, but she also brought the Emperor with her, making her family in chaos.

Cheng Zuo snorted coldly: “Remember what I am going to say, if the eldest daughter-in-law doesn’t live today, you don’t need to live anymore, either die yourself or wait to be divorced and leave the house. A wicked and jealous woman like you, I don’t even want to see it.”

He has always known that his wife has a bad temper and likes to embarrass his daughter-in-law or beat up servants, but he never thought the would do such a crazy thing.

No wonder she objected so much when Cheng Shuping came to beg him to find an imperial doctor last night.

She was afraid that when the imperial doctor came, her tricks would be exposed.

If it wasn’t for Cheng Shuping’s sincere love for his wife, and his begging for Miss Bai to come, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Madam Cheng wanted to die now, but she couldn’t be so cruel to herself. She could only grit her teeth and endure the scolding, she was not qualified to retaliate.

In the delivery room, Xiao Qing brought in blood bags. There were four bags in total. Although it was not enough, it was better than nothing.

Everything was ready, and the injected anesthetic took effect. Dong Mei no longer complained of pain, and she didn’t feel any pain at all.

“Why don’t I feel pain anymore? What’s the matter?” Dong Mei asked with a blank face, she was afraid that something might happen to her child.

Bai Zhi smiled lightly and patted her hand: “Don’t worry, I gave you an anesthetic, and you won’t feel pain for a while, but after the effect of the medicine wears off, you will still be in pain. I’m going to start the operation now. If you want to sleep, just sleep for a while.”
