In ancient times, medical skills were rudimentary, and the process of childbirth was often likened to traversing the gates of hell. Many women lost their lives during childbirth, fueling rumors among the people that an ominous aura pervaded the birthing chamber. Some believed in the presence of malevolent spirits or little ghosts within, plotting harm to the mother.
Due to these superstitions, ordinary people were prohibited from entering the room where a woman gave birth, fearing contamination by the perceived evil energy. The midwife, astute to these beliefs, wisely refrained from uttering such notions during this critical time.
Su Bin, aware of these rumors, staunchly refused to entertain such ideas. Even if there were spectral threats, he insisted on standing by his wife's side to protect her.
"Governor Su…"
The midwife sought to persuade Su Bin, but he cut her off. "Don't say anything else!"
"Mrs. Su…"
The midwife turned to Qin Zhenzhen.
