Right. What happened that day? 540 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:58,200 After examining the pregnant woman, I went back to talk with the Mistress Lin. 541 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,400 I told her that the pregnant woman's child is a bit too big, but it's not a big problem. 542 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,600 She just had to watch the pregnant woman to not overly-nourish herself, 543 00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:09,430 eat lighter-flavored meals and walk more often, she surely would safely give birth. 544 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,600 Eating this for breakfast is too wasteful. 545 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,900 Mistress, you've suffered a shock. You should rest peacefully and not walk around! 546 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:40,800 Alarming the snake... never thought that the snake was like that. 547 00:41:45,100 --> 00:41:49,100 So... what really is going on? 548 00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:58,000 That Little Mother died from hemorrhaging during childbirth. 549 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,880 She died with the child in her womb. 550 00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:08,800 What! That's impossible! 551 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:13,700 As long as she eats less and moves more, that child should have been delivered safely! 552 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,200 What if someone kept stuffing her with very nutritious and delicious food, 553 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,000 and even asked her to rest more? 554 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,200 Isn't that asking for trouble? 555 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,400 She surely will have a large fetus that's going to make her labor difficult! 556 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,200 Do you dare to swear by the heavens that you haven't spoken any lies? 557 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,000 I swear by the heavens that I didn't tell any lies. 558 00:42:50,100 --> 00:42:53,000 That Minglan went out again today. 559 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:56,200 She said that she went to Yuqing Monastery for some Buddhist ritual. 560 00:42:56,200 --> 00:43:01,300 How can there be so many religious rituals? She must be up to something. 561 00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:06,400 Mistress, don't worry.
