After Becoming a Widow, I Became the Foolish Mother of Two Children

One day, Su Luo transmigrated and became the mother of two children. Not only was she mentally deficient, but she was also a widow. The family was destitute, living in an abandoned tile kiln by the...

Chapter 185 Are newborns lucky stars?

"Young Master Nangong, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to pick up the midwife so quickly. You even brought us back in a carriage. Thank you so much."

Li Niu is not good with words and doesn't know how to use fancy language, but he is truly happy that his wife gave birth to a son today.

He was forty years old when he had a son, which was considered a blessing in his old age. His long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled at this moment.

"You're welcome. Congratulations on the birth of your son. If you want to thank me, you must invite me to the baby's one-month celebration."

"Yes, yes, yes, as long as you do me the honor, I will definitely invite you."

Su Luo looked at Aunt Li's son, who was very small. She had very vague memories of Yan Chuan and Yi Huan when they were young, and she didn't know how much pain the original owner had gone through to give birth to them.

She is now in sync with this body and has an uncontrollable fondness for Yi Huan and the others.

"Aunt Li, congratulations on achieving your wish."

Looking at her son's still wrinkled face, Aunt Li said with joy, "Yan Chuan's mother, this child was able to be born because of you."

Old Li and I really don't know how to thank you. You're a blessed person. We'd like to ask you to help him come up with another name.

“Yan Chuan’s mother, what your Aunt Li said is what I also wanted to say.”

Li Niu came in at this time. After the baby was born, Chen Yan went back to see her grandson first, leaving only Su Luo in the room with Aunt Li.

"Uncle Li, a child's name follows them throughout their life and should be chosen by their parents. Are you really letting me choose it?"

Su Luo never gave anyone a name; Yan Chuan and Yi Huan were names that Chen Huaixu left behind before he left.

"Your Aunt Li and I have already discussed it. After the baby is born, we'll ask you to name him and we'll give him a nickname."

Su Luo was completely clueless: "Then what's his nickname?"

Li Niu and Aunt Li smiled at each other. Before the baby was even born, they had already thought of a nickname for him.

"Call him Fugui!"

Su Luo: "..."

This name is considered to have a good meaning in the small village.

“My nickname is Fugui…” Su Luo thought for a moment, “Then let’s call him Changze. Fugui Changze complements my nickname perfectly.”

"Li Changze!" Li Niu and Aunt Li called out in unison.

"This is a good name. From now on, Fugui will be called Li Changze."

Li Niu looked down at his son, not daring to touch him.

"Little Fugui, you have a name now. From now on, you will be called Changze, Li Changze..."

It was getting late, so Su Luo went back to let Aunt Li get some rest.

There were three large men waiting outside the door.

"The child is healthy, let's go home first."

The midwife had already gone back, and Ah Xu pulled the carriage, and the four of them walked back to the village entrance.

"Nangong Qing, Uncle Li said you were the one who brought him and the midwife here?"

The two walked side by side, and Nangong Qing said calmly.

"Well, Li Niu's oxcart isn't as fast as a horse-drawn carriage, and he's been making tofu for Fu Man Lou, so he's practically one of us. I'll just help him out."

"It's getting dark, are you still going back to Yongle County?"

There are many guest rooms at home. If Nangong Qing and the others don't want to go back, they can stay at the Chen residence.

Nangong Qing stopped and smiled, "Luo Luo, are you trying to persuade me to stay?"

Su Luo chuckled. Wasn't this just a normal greeting?

“The road is difficult to travel at night, and Doctor Du is also here. Why don’t you and Ah Xu stay at the Chen residence tonight?”

"I'll take you to collect turnip and rapeseed seeds tomorrow. It's the rainy season now, and if we don't collect them soon, it'll rain."

"good!"

If it weren't for the cover of night, Nangong Qing's tacky smile would have been exposed to everyone.

Back at the Chen residence, Su Luo said to Du Xiuyuan, "Doctor Du, take them to the east courtyard and have Su You tidy up the rooms. I still need to go and check the accounts with Steward Shi."

"good."

He turned to Nangong Qing and said, "Young Master, please come with me."

Du Xiuyuan walked beside Nangong Qing with his head down: "Young Master, does the Li Niu family's child have any signs of good fortune?"

They came all the way from the capital to find this lucky star, but the imperial advisor didn't say what the lucky star looked like.

As the imperial physician responsible for the health of the third prince, he had been living in anonymity in Yongle County for more than two years.

We haven't found the lucky star the imperial advisor mentioned, and we really don't know how long it will be before we see our loved ones again.

"I don't know, it was just born, we'll have to wait and see."

Nangong Qing did not give up investigating these children, but he had already included Su Luo in his mind.

I wonder if Su Luo is the lucky star they're looking for. The child hasn't made any contributions to Nanning Kingdom.

But ever since he met Su Luo, whether it was making pesticides, eggplants and radishes, or the second rice, these have all made great contributions to the imperial court.

This also broadened his understanding, but the imperial advisor's words about a lucky star descending from heaven should have been directed at a newborn.

“Young master, we’ve been disappointed time and time again. Should we write to the Imperial Advisor and ask what the signs are of this lucky star? If we’re just groping in the dark like this, when will we ever find him?”

The longer it goes on, the greater the pressure becomes. Fortunately, His Majesty hasn't pressured them, otherwise they really wouldn't know how to explain themselves.

"If the Imperial Advisor knew, do you think he wouldn't tell me? How could someone who can save the country and its people be so easily identified?"

Ah Xu stopped talking. As long as His Majesty didn't ask, life in Yongle County was quite good. There was delicious food, and he didn't have to do any work.

There was none of the intrigue and power struggles of the palace, and you could even go hunting in the mountains when you were bored.

Despite trying to comfort himself like this, Ah Xu still couldn't sleep at night. He sat on the artificial hill in the east courtyard, lost in thought.

His gaze was drawn to a delicate figure emerging from Yan Chuan's room.

Yan Chuan studied at the academy during the day, and Xie Wanwan would go to help him review what he had learned in the evenings. She was unaware that someone was watching her all along.

During the rainy season, the ground was damp, and Xie Wanwan accidentally stepped into a hole.

"well……"

Her body fell forward, the wind filled her ears, and her mind went blank.

In her terror, she closed her eyes, waiting for her body to make contact with the ground.

Suddenly, she grabbed something in her hand. Without thinking, she grasped at it as a lifeline and hugged it tightly.

Xie Wanwan went down, but the pain she had expected did not come.

Ah Xu leaped to catch Xie Wanwan, but the momentum was too great. In order to prevent Xie Wanwan from getting hurt, he could only use his body as a human shield for her.

Xie Wanwan's lips pressed against his neck, and he could clearly feel her every breath.

Ah Xu unconsciously swallowed, and seeing that Xie Wanwan hadn't recovered yet, he spoke up to remind her.

"Miss Xie, are you alright?"

A man's voice sounded in her ear. Xie Wanwan opened her eyes and saw that she was tightly hugging A Xu.

Panicked, Xie Wanwan quickly let go and clutched her chest to calm herself down.

"Are you... alright?"

Xie Wanwan asked A Xu in return if she was injured when he caught her after she fell.
