Chapter 67: Daughter-in-law has difficulty giving birth, should I save the adult or the child?

"Madam, the young mistress is having a difficult birth, and the young master's feet came out first..."

Zhang Shan’s identity this time is the old lady of a marquis’s mansion. Her husband died on the battlefield, but fortunately her son and daughter are already married.

The one giving birth inside is the original owner's daughter-in-law, Wang Wanrou. In her previous life, the original owner treated Wang Wanrou sincerely and regarded her as her own daughter. However, because her own daughter died of dystocia, she did not want her daughter-in-law to die as well.

You can have another child if you lose one, but once a person is gone, that person is gone. Leaving a child for the next wife to torment is something the original owner does not want to see.

So, the original owner made the decision to protect the greater one and not the smaller one.

Wang Wanrou was very moved by the original owner's choice. No one would choose a daughter-in-law who was not related to them by blood and give up their own "grandson".

After that, Wang Wanrou became even more filial and respectful to the original owner, and she did not complain even when she was later diagnosed as infertile.

But as time went by, seeing the increasing number of illegitimate sons and daughters in the mansion, seeing the happiness on those women's faces, seeing her husband drifting away from her day by day, and thinking that the one who would inherit the mansion in the future would be the child of the concubine who tried to snatch her husband away and showed off her power, and that she might even be driven out of the mansion, it was hard for Wang Wanrou not to blame the original owner.

In particular, her sister-in-law from her natal side also had a difficult delivery, with the baby's feet coming out first, but in the end it was safe, and both her nephew and sister-in-law were saved.

As a result, Wang Wanrou's hatred for the original owner reached its peak. She put a chronic poison in the original owner's food, which eroded the original owner's body bit by bit. She wanted to avenge her "son".

Not long after the original owner died, her son also died on the battlefield. Wang Wanrou became the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion. The illegitimate son who inherited the Marquis' Mansion respected her more than he loved.

Although he lived a good life, there were still some regrets, especially in his later years, when he had no children or grandchildren to serve him and his heart was filled with desolation.

Zhang Shan felt that she could help Wang Wanrou fulfill her obsession. After all, she just wanted a child, so she could let her come back to give birth.

As soon as she made her little move, the voice inside became even louder.

Wang Wanrou never expected that she would be reborn and return to the day of giving birth. In this life, she must keep her "son".

"Nurse, protect the little one!"

"Madam, even if we lose our child, we can still have another one."

"No, nurse, you have to listen to me. This is my child." Wang Wanrou held the nurse's hand tightly with a firm look in her eyes.

The nurse's eyes were red and she nodded with tears in her eyes.

Zhang Shan would not be involved in this life, she would make her own choice.

"Ma'am, push harder!"

"what!!!"

Screams were accompanied by the sound of a baby crying. The midwife held the child and showed it to Wang Wanrou, "Congratulations, madam. You have given birth to a little girl. I have delivered so many children, but this little girl is the prettiest."

"What? How could it be a daughter?"

Obviously in the previous life...

It seemed that no one had ever said in her previous life that she gave birth to a son.

While Wang Wanrou was silent, another midwife held a ball of bloody cotton and shouted, "Oh no! Madam is bleeding and the bleeding won't stop!"

The wet nurse quickly took the baby and asked the midwife to save Wang Wanrou. When Wang Wanrou heard people’s screams, she had a bad feeling and fell asleep in a daze before she could ask for help.

Wang Wanrou never woke up from this sleep.

And Zhang Shan’s mission was completed.

It took less than half a day, very quickly.

The next step is your own life.

My husband is dead, my son is not often at home, and now my daughter-in-law is dead too. This family is too boring.

"Hey, go tell your mother-in-law the news!"

Zhang Shan looked at her granddaughter who was still crying and asked someone to take her away to be fed by a wet nurse.

The Wang family felt it was a great pity when they learned that Wang Wanrou died in childbirth and only gave birth to a daughter.

Zhang Shan named the daughter born to Wang Wanrou Zhao Rong, sent a letter to her son Zhao Hechuan who was at the border, and then went to the farm to "live out in retirement".

As for Zhao Rong, she was handed over to Zhao Hechuan's concubine, who was asked to take good care of Zhao Rong. As long as Zhao Rong was alive, she would live. Not only would the concubine not dare to kill Zhao Rong, she would also ensure that Zhao Rong would not die.

Zhang Shan was very free and easy on the farm. Although she could not keep a lover openly, she had no problem taking in passing students and hunters. Moreover, there were hot springs and peach blossoms on the farm, so it welcomed some "literati" every year.

Zhang Shan would only return to the house when Zhao Hechuan returned to Beijing. Zhao Rong had been handed over to the care of Zhao Hechuan's new wife Chen Shuyi. There was no need for Zhang Shan to nag her. For the sake of her own reputation, Chen Shuyi would take good care of Zhao Rong.

As for whether there is any result of overpraising and killing, that is not something Zhang Shan should worry about.

When Zhang Shan came, the original owner was already 37 years old. She only wanted to enjoy herself in this life and would not risk her life to have a child.

Ten years later, Wei Tang, the daughter born to the original owner's daughter after difficult birth, was bullied by her stepmother. Her wet nurse came to Zhang Shan for help, and Zhang Shan took her in, letting her live in the marquis's mansion and be disciplined together with Zhao Rong.

Zhao Rong was raised by Chen Shuyi to be unruly and domineering, while Wei Tang had the demeanor of a young white flower. Zhang Shan thought that if the two were together, it would be a lot of fun to watch, so she moved back to the Marquis' Mansion.

"Rong'er greets grandma."

The grandchildren, led by Zhao Rong, greeted Zhang Shan at the door. When they saw Zhang Shan getting off the carriage, they all stepped forward to salute.

"Everyone, get up. This is Rong'er. She has grown so big."

Zhao Rong seldom saw Zhang Shan and her memory of her was very vague, so she was not very enthusiastic towards her. In contrast, the children born to Chen Shuyi were all very enthusiastic towards her.

Even Wei Tang looked at Zhang Shan eagerly. Zhang Shan couldn't help but touched her head.

"I have been looking forward to your return. I sweep Rong'an Hall several times a month. I have been looking forward to your return. Finally, you are back."

Chen Shuyi helped Zhang Shan into the house and nodded with satisfaction when she saw that the yard was still the same as when she left.

At this time, Zhao Rong came forward and sat on the other side of Zhang Shan. "Grandma, the "Rong" in Rong'an Hall has the same pronunciation as my name. Can I ask for your grace to change "Rong'an Hall" to "Ci'an Hall"? "Ci'an Hall" is obviously where the old lady lives."

Everyone looked at Zhao Rong in surprise.

Chen Shuyi's face turned pale, and she knelt in front of Zhang Shan, "It is my daughter-in-law who has failed to teach me well, please punish me, mother."

"Get up, this isn't your fault."

Zhang Shan didn’t care. Whoever taught her granddaughter would suffer the consequences.

After helping Chen Shuyi up, Zhang Shan turned to look at Zhao Rong and Wei Tang, "Grandma was inconsiderate. Does Tang'er feel offended too?"

Wei Tang: "The 'Tang' in my granddaughter's name has the same pronunciation as the 'Tang' in my grandmother's name, Rong'an Tang. This shows that my granddaughter and grandmother are destined to be together. She must be my grandmother's biological granddaughter."

Zhao Rong lowered her head and cursed in a low voice: "Flatterer!"

"In that case, Rong'er, you should change your name to Zhao Ci from now on. This way, no one will be offended. This Rong'an Hall was called this when your great-grandmother lived here. You can't change the name just because I moved in. Besides, the courtyards where the old lords of various mansions live are all called "Rong'an Hall". You can't ask them to change their names one by one, right?"

Zhao Ci didn't expect that she just wanted to show her difference in front of her younger brothers and sisters. As the eldest daughter, she was favored and her name was changed by Zhang Shan. If this were to be made known to others, how would she stand in front of her younger sisters in the future?

"Grandma, it was my granddaughter who said the wrong thing. I don't want to change my name."

Zhang Shan ignored her and said, "I am tired, you all can go down."

Unexpectedly, she was the one who started the first battle. Zhang Shan lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.

The days back at the Marquis' Mansion were certainly not boring. From fighting over the tiara to fighting over the fiancé, each one was more exciting than the other. But Wei Tang always won, after all, Zhao Ci was really brainless.

The promising son-in-law that Zhao Hechuan found for Zhao Ci was snatched away by Wei Tang. Not long after Wei Tang got married, Zhao Hechuan died in the battle, and Zhao Ci's marriage was delayed again.

Zhao Ci's reputation was not very good, and she could not find a good husband. Zhang Shan did not want her to run around in the mansion and hold the title, so she let Chen Shuyi's family take over Zhao Ci.

You cannot abuse the children of other families, you can only abuse your own family.
