Fourth Grandma held Qi Jie'er in her arms and did not dare to neglect her at all. She repeatedly invited Cheng Song'an into the house.

Cheng Songan sat down, asked Sister Qi to come to him, and asked, "Didn't you say there was still half a month left? Why is the baby due today?"

The fourth grandmother wiped her tears and answered, "They were fine when they woke up in the morning, but when they went out, they started arguing."

Cheng Songan frowned and asked, "What are you arguing about?"

Before Fourth Grandma could say anything, Sister Qi in her arms was already shouting, "Daddy said he wanted to sell my brother for money... Mom didn't want to, so Daddy beat her."

Cheng Songan was stunned. Sell for money? Even in his previous life, Cui Wenkang had never mentioned selling his son for money. Moreover, he was now the commander of the Patrol Department, responsible for the security in front of Yingwu Gate. He had both money and face. Why would he say such a thing?

Fourth Grandma's face showed a look of pain, and she almost cried, covering her face.

Cheng Songan suddenly understood that what Qi Jie'er meant by selling for money was that Cui Wenkang wanted to change his son's surname to his father's, Qian. As expected, the son of a Zhongshan wolf will become arrogant when he succeeds.

"Fourth sister-in-law, you are worrying too much. No matter how foolish Kang Ge'er is, he would never do such a stupid thing!" Cheng Songan just couldn't understand and comforted her, "Doctor Sun will be here soon, go in and tell your wife to put her mind at ease."

After a pause, he asked, "But Brother Kang is fighting with a woman who is about to give birth. What do you think of that, Sister-in-law?"

The fourth grandmother wiped away her tears and said shamefully, "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by my younger brother and sister-in-law, but I'm afraid I can't take care of this son anymore."

Sister Qi followed up and said, "Grandma, Daddy beats Mommy, and when Grandma scolds him, he gets even meaner to Grandma."

"Sister Qi!" Cui Wenkang made some tea and heard these words as soon as he entered the room. He quickly stopped his daughter and rushed forward to pull her.

Taxue stretched out his hand and said in a deep voice, "How dare you! You are allowed to pull me in front of the young lady?"

Cui Wenkang realized that he had overstepped his authority, lowered his head in embarrassment, and secretly glared at Qi Jie'er. Qi Jie'er was so scared that she hugged Cheng Song'an's neck tightly and cried, "Daddy, don't hit Qi Jie'er, and don't sell my brother for money!"

Seeing that he was exposed, Cui Wenkang no longer cared about anything else. He rushed forward and pulled Qi Jie'er from Cheng Song'an's arms, dragged her out the door, and said angrily in a low voice: "You little bitch, why are you talking nonsense in front of the grandmother? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will cut off your tongue!"

Qi Jie'er was already frightened by being dragged by him, and seeing her father's ferocious look, she was so scared that she dared not make a sound and could only sob.

Fourth Grandma rushed over to grab the child, fearing that he would get angry and take it out on Sister Qi. Just as she got close, Cui Wenkang pushed her to the side with brute force and she almost fell down the stairs.

Cheng Songan slammed his palm on the table and said to Taxue, "Why, are you waiting for me to fight him in person?"

Taxue understood immediately, rushed over, stood on the threshold, pointed at Cui Wenkang and cursed: "What a disrespectful and lowly fellow! You dared to fight with your own mother in front of my grandmother. Are you going to rebel in the Golden Palace tomorrow?"

Cui Wenkang was afraid of Cheng Songan and did not dare to retort, but he still grabbed Qi Jie'er's collar and tried to drag her to an empty room nearby and lock her up.

Li Wenbin stopped him with a dark face, grabbed his wrist and forced him to let go. He picked up the trembling Qi Jie'er and handed her to Taxue.

Cheng Songan has always loved Qi Jie'er. Seeing this child, who was only a few years old, so frightened and pale, he felt very distressed and held her in his arms to comfort her.

Suddenly, Zhou's shrill cry came from next door. Cui Wenxin ran out with a pale face and knelt down in front of Cheng Songan: "Aunt, the fetus is in breech position and can't be born. The midwife said that if we have a child, my sister-in-law will die!"

"Don't be afraid!" Qiangwei rushed in, followed by Doctor Sun. "Doctor Sun is here, hurry up!"

Cheng Song was relieved and ordered, "Doctor Sun, go in quickly and make sure to save Zhou's life!"

Cui Wenxin also quickly stood up, as if she had seen a savior, and pulled Doctor Sun to the next room.

Cui Wenkang took a quick step and blocked the way. He was also somewhat dissatisfied with Cheng Songan and said, "Aunt, this is inappropriate. I am a woman giving birth without clothes. How can I save my dignity by letting a man come in and watch?"

Cheng Songan was furious and said sternly, "Your wife has fought hard to give birth to your child. Now she is in danger, and you still want to stop the doctor from going in?"

Cui Wenkang stiffened his neck and said, "There is a midwife watching in the room, how can a man be allowed to go in and look at his wife's crotch? The young mistress is a noble lady, but she forces her nephew to be cuckolded. Bah!"

Li Wenbin and Taxue didn't wait for Cheng Songan to speak, they each took a step forward and slapped him on the left and right.

Cui Wenkang simply lay down in front of the door and cried loudly: "Someone come here, this is immoral! Is this the young mistress of the Cui family? She has no shame at all forcing a man to deliver a baby!"

Li Wenbin saw the murderous intent gradually rising in Cheng Songan's eyes, and silently grasped the dagger in his sleeve, but Cheng Songan quickly calmed down and said lightly: "Pull him away!"

Fourth Grandma rushed over, slapped her on the face, and said angrily, "Now is the time to talk about this? Doctor Sun has always been the one to check your daughter-in-law's pulse, and he is the only one who can save her now."

Doctor Sun also said quickly: "Put up a screen. I don't need to get close to the woman in labor. I will just teach the midwife to turn the fetus's head downwards and then give her the acupuncture."

Cui Wenxin hurriedly went with Qiangwei to carry over an old wooden screen.

But Cui Wenkang rolled around on the ground like a headless fly, swearing. Instead of moving away, he pointed at Doctor Sun and cursed: "You old pervert, how many decent women have you cheated of your purity with this method? Did you see her naked all along? You made me a living cuckold, I will fight you to the death!"

Doctor Sun had been practicing medicine for decades and had seen people who acted unreasonably and threw tantrums, but this was the first time he had been slandered as a rapist. Even though he was very well-mannered, he was so angry that his blood boiled and he almost fainted.

The door creaked open, and the midwife, her hands covered in blood, screamed, "It's no use, tell me quickly, should we save the baby or the adult?"

The fourth grandmother hesitated for a moment, then said, "Save the elder!"

Cui Wenkang immediately jumped up and yelled at the fourth grandmother: "Mom, you are confused. If a woman dies, you can marry another one. You can't just give birth to a grandson easily. She spent several years pregnant with this one. If she dies, when can she give birth to another one?"

Cui Wenxin threw away the screen, grabbed Cui Wenkang and cried, "Brother, I want my sister-in-law..."

Cui Wenkang pushed her away and cursed, "You ignorant women, you know nothing! Get lost!"

He turned to the midwife and said, "Keep the child, we want a son."

The screams in the room gradually stopped. Zhou was silent, perhaps because she had heard her husband's ruthlessness or because she had simply run out of strength.

Cheng Songan handed Qi Jie'er to Taxue to hold, and stood in front of the delivery room door, letting Doctor Sun go in.

Cui Wenkang made up his mind and rushed forward, knocking Cheng Songan off balance and causing him to fall headfirst into the door.
