Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye a year had gone by. On this day, in the courtyard of An Ning and Gu Qingxuan in the Duke of Yingguo's mansion, maids and old women were busy coming and going, and from time to time a maid came out of the room carrying blood.

This frightened Gu Qingxuan, who was waiting at the door. Although he had been on many battlefields, he was still scared when he saw the basins of blood, fearing that he would lose his peace.

At this moment, Gao and An Dashan came over in a hurry. An Dashan asked Gu Qingxuan who was standing at the door, "Qingxuan, how is Ningning?"

Gu Qingxuan quickly replied, "Father-in-law, the imperial physician said that Aning's baby is very healthy, and she has been moving around a lot during her pregnancy, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

An Dashan asked anxiously again: "Why hasn't the baby been born yet?"

Gao pinched An Dashan and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Giving birth is difficult for women, and this is Ningning's first child, so it will naturally take longer."

An Dashan didn't understand these things at all, and after hearing Gao Shi's words, he felt relieved.

Gao said again: "You wait here, I will go in and take a look."

Gu Qingxuan bowed to Gao and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law." Gao shook her head and walked in without saying anything.

It was August now, and the weather was hot. When Gao came in, she saw An Ning sweating profusely from the pain, and her face was pale, without a trace of blood. Gao felt so distressed that she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe An Ning's sweat and said, "Ning Ning, hold on for a while, you will be fine soon."

An Ning was not really scared, but she was in great pain. She pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm a little hungry now and want to eat the shredded pork noodles you made."

Upon hearing this, Gao quickly said, "Okay, I'll do it for you right away." Then she got up and left the room.

An Ning was actually afraid that Gao would worry, so she wanted to get rid of Gao, and that's why she came up with this excuse.

Not long after Gao left, An Ning felt waves of pain and couldn't help but scream out in pain. This scared An Dashan and Gu Qingxuan who were waiting at the door.

Gu Qingxuan didn't care about anything else and was about to rush into the house. The nanny guarding the door said, "Duke, you can't go in at this time. Madam is trying hard, and you can't be distracted." As she was speaking, she heard a loud baby cry.

Even though the Duke of England had been through many battles, his hands and feet were weak at this moment. If he hadn't been holding on, he would have almost fallen to the ground. Then a midwife came out and announced the news, saying, "Congratulations, Duke, it's a little boy, and both mother and child are safe."

Gu Qingxuan nodded and said, "Can I go in?"

The midwife's expression froze for a moment, wondering if the Duke of England was happy or unhappy. Then she quickly reacted and said, "We have to wait a while. After the maids and servants have cleaned up the filth inside, we can go in."

The maids and servants were very efficient. They cleaned An Ning up in no time and moved her to the main room. They also placed the child beside the bed. An Ning looked at this little guy who was related to her by blood, and her heart softened.

Gu Qingxuan and An Dashan walked in. An Dashan looked at the little baby beside An Ning and liked it very much. He said, "Can I hug it?"

An Ning smiled and said, "Of course."

Gu Qingxuan didn't even look at the little kid the whole time. He carefully observed An Ning and was relieved to see that An Ning was indeed fine. He said to An Ning, "Does it still hurt? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

An Ning shook her head and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, don't worry."

At this time, Gao came in with a bowl of shredded pork noodles and said, "Ningning, I cooked these noodles to make them softer. Have some first!"

An Ning nodded and tried to struggle to sit up. Gu Qingxuan helped An Ning up and leaned her against his body, saying, "Let me feed you!"

An Ning's face turned red and he said, "No need. I can eat by myself. I'm not that picky." Then he took the bowl and chopsticks from Gao's hand and started eating.

Gao handed the noodles to An Ning, then snatched the baby from An Dashan's arms and said, "My dear grandson, he is so handsome!"

An Dashan had his child taken away, but he didn't dare to complain. He just stayed close to Gao and looked at the baby intently. Maybe this is what it means to be close to a generation apart!

Three days later, the old marquis finally returned home exhausted. As soon as he entered the mansion, he said to Gu Qingxuan who was waiting at the door: "Where is my grandson? Bring him here so I can see him."

The old marquis went out traveling after the New Year. At that time, An Ning had not yet found out that she was pregnant, and the old marquis's whereabouts were erratic. The servants in the mansion did not find him until a month ago. When he learned that his daughter-in-law was pregnant, he rode back as fast as he could, but he was still a step too late.

Gu Qingxuan said: "The child is still young, it is not suitable for him to be exposed to the wind. Let's go to our yard and take a look!"

The old marquis nodded and naturally had no objection.

A quarter of an hour later, the old marquis finally saw his long-awaited grandson. He held him tightly in his arms until the child started crying loudly from hunger, and then he reluctantly let go of his hands.

The old marquis asked, "Has the child been named?"

Gu Qingxuan shook his head and said, "It hasn't been named yet. I'll wait for you, father, to name it."

The old marquis thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Gu Jingchen and his nickname Ping An. I hope he will live a peaceful life."

Gu Qingxuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to my father."

Five years later, the old marquis bid farewell to Gu Qingxuan and An Ning with little Ping An, and embarked on a journey of travel.

After seeing off the grandparents and grandchildren, An Ning looked at the delicate little girl in Gu Qingxuan's arms and said with some resentment, "When can we go out for a walk?"

Gu Qingxuan looked at An Ning's slightly bulging belly and said, "After the first baby is born, we won't have any more children. I'll take you out to travel, okay?"

An Ning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep my word."

Gu Qingxuan smiled dotingly and said, "Okay, it's a deal."
