Chapter 246 - 139: Struck by Lightning
After the woman gave birth, there were still many taboos before the lochia was completely discharged, especially before the placenta was expelled.
As soon as Xu Qing finished speaking, the farmer’s wife’s face turned the color of liver.
She uncomfortably said, "What does a man like you know about women’s affairs? I just wanted my sister-in-law to drink some hot soup to warm herself up, do you have to find fault with that..."
Seeing the people in the courtyard start to gather around, the farmer’s wife seemed to gain confidence, her momentum increasing a bit.
Xu Qing bared his teeth and said, "Do you think you are the only one who knows this harmful method? Let me tell you, I was the one who destroyed the Child-Giving Temple. I interrogated those nuns extensively about methods to harm mothers and kill infants. You probably don’t know how much punishment you can endure!"
Upon hearing that Xu Qing was the fearsome person who destroyed the Child-Giving Temple and killed so many nuns, the farmer’s wife’s face instantly turned pale yellow.
The old woman assisting the midwife Liu lifted the door curtain and asked what was happening. After learning the whole story, she hurried back inside to inform the midwife.
Not long after, the midwife Liu came out with a gloomy face. Seeing the shattered soup bowl on the ground and the farmer’s wife avoiding eye contact with her, she spat and cursed, "What a rotten-hearted old insect! You can’t stand others having children just because you don’t have any yourself. How can someone as cruel as you exist!"
Li Mugen couldn’t get a word in, his mind buzzing in chaos, until the midwife Liu turned to him and said, "Li’s wife, your wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, a pair of twin dragons and phoenixes. But this old pig-dog intended to harm your wife. You need to decide what to do with this!"
Midwife Liu’s words were clear, and Li Mugen first felt joy then anger.
When the farmer’s wife saw Li Mugen rolling up his sleeves and walking over, she trembled and knelt on the ground, repeatedly begging for mercy.
