Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 360 - 345: Since You Want to Live, I’ll Give You a Way Out (Part 2)

Because Ah Huai once said, in this world, someone must first forge the path and guide the way to find the road to peace.

From another perspective, her rebuilding of Wuheng and helping these people is also paving the way for herself and Ah Huai.

Only by preserving Wuheng, building it better, and changing the dire outcomes that Prince Huai exploited in the original text, will Ah Huai not have to struggle so much.

Those treacherous people of Prince Huai will undoubtedly face quite a few difficulties.

Her family has witnessed her hard work.

Ruan Qing especially feels sorry for her sister. Despite her visible pregnancy, she still insists on making some delicious food for her.

Of course, ingredients are limited, which is why she has developed quite a variety of dishes.

Just taking potatoes, for example, there are various methods and flavors like steaming, boiling, frying, and swishing. She is also keen on tinkering and developing ingredients.

This day, seeing the weather was nice, she thought of delivering food to her sister and also taking the opportunity to have a walk. Although she is pregnant, she avoids staying at home without moving. A new batch of refugees from Yu Zhou had arrived, and Ruan Qing also heard about it.

Unexpectedly, before she reached the refugee resettlement area, she saw a woman with a big belly like hers walking with difficulty.

Ruan Qing was slightly stunned, looked around, and saw that the woman was alone and couldn’t even stand properly.

Seeing her drenched in sweat, Ruan Qing hurriedly stepped forward, "This lady."

However, just as she spoke, she suddenly realized the woman’s clothes were already soaked through.

Immediately, she sensed something was wrong; this woman was likely about to give birth, her amniotic fluid had broken.

So she disregarded everything else, quickly supporting her to the ground, and took off her own coat to cover her.

"Wait here, I’m going to call my sister to help right now!"

Knowing she couldn’t handle it alone, she hurriedly went to find Ruan Mian.

As soon as Ruan Mian heard someone was about to give birth, sensing the extreme danger, she quickly put down what she was doing, gathered Shaoxi and a few other women, each carrying basins, and fetched hot water, heading towards the woods.

By the time they arrived, the baby’s head was already half out.

It was impossible to move her now.

The woman seemed to have exhausted all her strength, lying weakly on the ground with a twisted expression.

The aunt hurriedly called to the others, "Wake her up, quickly, boil hot water, bring the cloth, scissors, and candles!"

Ruan Mian crouched on the ground, but given the current situation, they didn’t have much time left for delivering the baby. The baby was slowly coming out on its own, and their arrival gave the woman hope, surrounding her in the center, encouraging her, reassuring her not to worry about anything.

Only when the baby’s cries finally broke the silence did everyone breathe a deep sigh of relief.

The wave-like pain completely drained the woman’s energy; the moment the baby came out, she didn’t even have the strength to open her eyes to look at the child, and she collapsed unconscious on the ground.

Ruan Mian handed the baby to the aunt and took some medicine to treat the woman’s body.

She also forcibly fed her some medicine made with Spiritual Spring water.

Not knowing the woman’s identity, she planned to have Shaoxi fetch a carriage to first take the woman back to her own residence, leaving everything until she woke up.

Many of the women present were still unmarried maidens; at first, they felt apprehensive and fearful witnessing childbirth.

But seeing the child born under their eyes, obedient and adorable, instantly softened their hearts, surrounding the child to amuse him.

However, Ruan Qing noticed something unusual.

Her face changed slightly, she immediately looked at Ruan Mian, and after bringing the child to her, whispered softly.

"Sister, this child he..."

Ruan Mian followed her gaze, only to see that the child’s feet had extra toes.

Ordinary people have five toes on each foot, but this child had six toes on each foot.

Moreover, his fingers were also six-fingered!

"Sister! A six-fingered child, it’s a cursed monster in the book, simply unsustainable!"

In Ruan Mian’s view, it was just a congenital defect. As long as it didn’t affect life later, there was nothing wrong.

After all, in this era, there was no way to check during pregnancy, a naturally born child had no choices.

But the great aunt told her, "In Da Jing, six-fingered children are seen as embodiments of evil, executed at birth. The late Emperor said it personally, reportedly Marquis Nanping once had a six-fingered young prince executed by imperial order."

"But these are some folk rumors, in general, such children are not accepted."
