Chapter 175

Luo Ge was visibly stunned, unable to speak for a moment as she stared at Lady Qian's appearance.

Seeing Lady Qian's eyes uncontrollably welling up with tears, Luo Ge's expression turned bewildered, and her heart inexplicably ached.

She turned her head to glance at Gu Jinchen, pursing her lips.

As Doctor Ming was about to introduce them to each other, someone approached from the small courtyard behind Luo Ge and the others.

The newcomer, clearly surprised to see Lady Qian and her companions, immediately bowed in greeting.

"Lord of the Luo Family, Lady Qian, Young Master Luo, young mistress, and little young master," she said, addressing Lady Qian and the others.

The arrival was Mei Yun, the wet nurse introduced to Luo Ge by the Princess Consort.

Mei Yun used to work in the Princess Consort's household, and Lady Qian was the Princess Consort's aunt.

Having had the fortune of seeing Lady Qian and the others a few times at the royal residence, Mei Yun naturally recognized them.

"Lady Qian?" Upon hearing this title, Luo Ge's body stiffened as she turned to look at Lady Qian.

She hadn't expected to meet the person whose name she had only recently heard and speculated about.

When Gu Jinchen learned that the woman was Lady Qian, he also paused noticeably, looking down at his young wife with concern in his eyes.

He remembered her mentioning that if their suspicions were correct and Lady Qian was indeed from the same world as her, it would be best to avoid meeting her.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

Something about travelers from different times meeting in the same space potentially causing many unfavorable factors.

If the other party wasn't benevolent and harbored hostility towards them, it could needlessly create trouble and increase danger.

Judging from various novels, this indeed seemed to be the case.

Encounters between fellow time-travelers rarely ended well.

In short, two tigers cannot share the same mountain.

Hearing Luo Ge's call, Lady Qian hesitated, composing herself before revealing a gentle smile.

"You know me?"

Looking at Luo Ge, she had to restrain herself from rushing over to embrace her daughter.

What Lady Qian didn't realize was that a mother's expressions in front of her child were beyond her control.

Sensing an inexplicable feeling of familiarity and noticing the motherly, tender gaze, Luo Ge pursed her lips.

She nodded calmly, "I've heard the Princess Consort of Nanyang mention you before... and I've also heard about some of your past deeds."

After speaking, she and Gu Jinchen beside her bowed slightly, "We, the younger generation, pay our respects to you, our elders."

Luo Juan on the side: ???

When did this happen? How come he didn't know? Wasn't Uncle Ming himself the most skilled in women's medicine?

Though confused, he understood that Doctor Ming was speaking on their behalf.

He was trying to create an opportunity for them to stay and spend more time with Nuo Nuo, to strengthen their relationship.

So, he silently went along with it.

Although he might be slightly inferior to Uncle Ming in women's medicine, he was superior in all other aspects.

His presence would be useful, truly.

As Doctor Ming had anticipated, upon hearing his words, Gu Jinchen's expression immediately softened.

He looked down at Luo Ge, wanting to say something, but after a moment's thought, he chose to respect Luo Ge's own decision.

How well Luo Ge understood him! She noticed his gaze and immediately knew what he was thinking.

She turned to look at Lady Qian and the others, paused for a moment, and finally smiled, nodding to them.

"Then we'll trouble you all."

Seeing Luo Ge agree, the Luo family members were overjoyed, though they had to suppress their emotions to avoid revealing themselves.

"It is we who are imposing," they managed to say, restraining themselves.

Looking at Lady Qian as she spoke, Luo Ge smiled and turned to ask Qiu Niang to help arrange guest rooms for them.

As Qiu Niang led them away to rest, Luo Ge was about to sit down for a moment.

"Ugh."

Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, it felt as if the baby had given her a hard kick.

A wave of pain washed over her.

She looked down at her feet and saw that her water had broken.

"The child, the child is coming." Luo Ge gripped Gu Jinchen's hand tightly and spoke with a trembling voice, her small face instantly turning pale.

Just moments ago when she was standing, she seemed to have felt a faint pain, but it wasn't as noticeable as the usual feeling of the baby kicking. So she hadn't realized what was happening.

"Doctor Ming! Qiu Niang, quickly call for the midwife!"

Gu Jinchen was also momentarily flustered. As soon as he regained his composure, he called out loudly, then lifted Luo Ge in his arms and hurried towards the birthing room that had been prepared earlier.

The group that had not yet gone far heard the commotion and quickly rushed back. Seeing the scene before them, they were all startled.
