Xu Yan'er slowly sat up, a glint of malice flashing in her eyes. "The storeroom is open for rewards; feel free to ask for whatever you want."
The two men in black were overjoyed at her words and quickly bowed in gratitude. "Thank you, Holy Maiden!"
They rose eagerly, turning to leave without noticing the fleeting murderous intent in Xu Yan'er's gaze.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two golden lights flashed by, and the two men, still immersed in their joy, didn't even have time to scream before they collapsed lifelessly to the ground. The golden blades had pierced through their chests, and blood instantly soaked the floor, a shocking sight.
Xu Yan'er looked disdainfully at the corpses on the ground and casually tossed aside the golden hairpin she had been holding. "The mouths of the dead are the most reliable."
She gracefully stood up and walked to the window, gazing towards the direction of Shen Residence, a cruel smile curling at the corners of her mouth. "Shen Wanzhou, do you think you can outmaneuver me? In this lifetime, you are destined to be my stepping stone!"
Xu Yan'er was initially filled with confidence as she admired her wicked scheme. However, when she inadvertently looked up at the blood-red light soaring into the sky above the capital, her smile froze instantly.
How could there be such a powerful bloodline force? Xu Yan'er exclaimed in shock, her previously relaxed demeanor vanishing completely.
This bloodline power far exceeded her understanding and filled her with an indescribable fear from deep within.
At that moment, all the prominent families in the capital were stirred by this phenomenon.
The Bloodline Pillar! How could this be possible?!
The direction of the Bloodline Pillar's emergence looked so much like General Shen's Residence!
But neither of Shen Zhentian's daughters-in-law were pregnant! Could it be that Shen Wanzhou's child, abandoned by Wuding Marquis Chen Yuantu, had been born?
If it truly was an abandoned child from Wuding Marquisate, then there would be quite a spectacle! Such a powerful innate bloodline would surely lead to greatness in the future!
To abandon such a child—Wuding Marquisate would regret it! They might not even have a place to cry later!
In no time, various discussions and speculations spread among the major forces in the capital, all eyes focused on General Shen's Residence, waiting for the truth to be revealed.
At Shen Residence, Falling Plum Courtyard.
The usually serene and elegant courtyard was now shrouded in a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
The maids hurried back and forth, whispering softly to avoid disturbing those inside the room.
Inside, Shen Wanzhou lay on the bed, her face pale as paper. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead continuously, soaking her hair.
She clenched her teeth tightly, her hands gripping the bed sheets so hard that her knuckles turned pale from the strain.
Another wave of excruciating pain hit her, and Shen Wanzhou couldn't help but let out a pained cry. It felt as if her body was being torn apart, the agony nearly causing her to lose consciousness.
"Shen Wanzhou, hold on! Just a little more!" Yeh Jing-Shu stood by the bedside, her heart aching at Shen Wanzhou's suffering.
The baby is almost here; you just need to endure a bit longer!
Bai Qianyin was in a frenzy, pacing like an ant on a hot pan. She wiped the sweat off Shen Wanzhou's forehead and anxiously said, "Sister-in-law, childbirth takes a tremendous toll on a woman's vitality, but our family has run out of resources and Demon Beast Meat to replenish your strength. At this rate, Shen Wanzhou could lose her life!"
Yeh Jing-Shu's face paled further upon hearing this. Did she not know this already? Since Shen Wanzhou returned to her family home, the Shen Family had faced one misfortune after another—first losing a large amount of resources to an unseen enemy, and now Shen Wanzhou's unexpected premature labor. They had used everything they could find for her; it was truly a case of being unable to cook without rice.
"I know," Yeh Jing-Shu said through gritted teeth, her nails digging into her palms. "But with Father injured and our family having lost so many resources recently, we've given everything we could to Shen Wanzhou. We've exhausted all possible solutions; we can only rely on Shen Wanzhou's strength now!"
"Shen Wanzhou, no matter what, you must hold on!" Yeh Jing-Shu took a deep breath, suppressing her anxiety and urgency as she spoke to Shen Wanzhou. "Think of your children! Use all your Vital Energy to bring them into this world!"
At that moment, Shen Wanzhou was in so much pain that she could barely speak; she could only nod weakly.
But no matter how hard she tried, the tearing pain persisted as if the two babies were stuck inside her, refusing to come out. The smell of blood in the room grew stronger, and Shen Wanzhou's breath became increasingly faint.
"No! The babies still won't come out!" The midwife was drenched in sweat, panic creeping into her voice. Delivering twins was perilous for any woman, and now their lady was losing both vitality and blood. At this rate...
Her words trailed off, but everyone present understood what she meant.
Bai Qianyin could no longer contain herself; tears streamed down her face as she rushed to the bedside and grabbed Shen Wanzhou's hand, crying out, "Shen Wanzhou, you can't die! Hold on! Push!"
Yeh Jing-Shu's eyes also turned red with tears, but she held back her sorrow and said to the midwife, "Do everything you can; no matter what happens, ensure their safety!"
The midwife sighed helplessly; she knew that saying such things at this moment was futile, but all she could do was try her best.
Time ticked by slowly as Shen Wanzhou's breath grew weaker and her consciousness began to fade.
In her hazy state, she seemed to see her children—two delicate little beings smiling sweetly at her with tiny hands reaching out as if wanting to grasp hers.
"My children..."
Shen Wanzhou's heart swelled with reluctance and affection. She wanted to reach out and hold them close but found that she couldn't lift her arms at all.
Vital Energy was about to be depleted. No matter how hard she tried, the feeling of her strength being drained left her powerless.
The Midwife was in a panic, sweat pouring down her face, which was already lined with deep wrinkles now etched with even more ravines. No, if this continued, both the young lady and the child would be lost! She wiped the sweat from her forehead and anxiously said that they needed to replenish her energy quickly; otherwise...
Yeh Jing-Shu bit down hard on her lower lip, nearly drawing blood. Did she not know that she needed to restore her vitality? But now, within the entire Shen Family estate, where could they find resources to replenish it? Was there truly no way out?
Bai Qianyin knelt by the bed, tears rolling down like pearls that had broken free from their string. Shen Wanzhou, wake up! But no matter how Bai Qianyin called out, Shen Wanzhou remained unresponsive, her eyes tightly shut. Her complexion was as pale as paper, and her breathing was so faint it was almost imperceptible, as if it could stop at any moment.
