Chapter 262 Giving Birth

Seeing how generous the little boy was, everyone crowded around her and said nice things. Little Jiang Fenghua instantly became a spendthrift, not stingy at all, and successfully attracted everyone away.

The little girl in the woodshed stared at the glittering silver in her hand. She didn't run away; instead, she opened the door and followed the little boy.

When she arrived at Miss Lin Shuang's room, there was no one around, so she quietly hid under the window.

All that could be heard from inside was Lin Shuang's light, seductive, and sly laughter, "Such a young child is already trying to go to a dance studio, little brother. I heard you spent a lot of money to see me."

"Yes," she said. "Is there a problem with visiting a dance studio? Don't you teach people to dance here?"

Lin Shuang laughed even more. She wasn't particularly stunning in appearance, but her smile was captivating. "Who told you that the dance studio only teaches people to dance? You're not a grown man yet, you don't understand."

Upon hearing this, she instantly understood that this place was a sham, but she didn't care and added, "I've heard that Lady Lin Shuang is the best dancer in the entire Shengjing City."

Lin Shuang deliberately said, "This young lady is also the most charming, beautiful and popular wife among men. Lin Shuang is beautiful and talented, with superb dancing skills. She is the darling of all men. Hasn't Young Master Ruan heard of her?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Shuang said, "Don't you understand? Are you scared? Although I am a hot commodity in the eyes of all men, I don't like little kids as small as your little brother."

"I'll pay you to be my teacher and teach me to dance, and maybe teach me something else as well. Name your price," she said directly. Although this was a hidden brothel, she was happy to learn something from it.

Lin Shuang laughed again, "You, a young master, are learning to dance?"

"Can't men learn to dance? Who made that rule?"

She took out a stack of silver notes from her person and handed them to Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang's eyes lit up, "Where did this little fortune come from?"

"Never mind that. Just tell me if you're willing to be my teacher. If not, I'll find someone else. I've heard that Hua Lian from Yingchun Pavilion is a pretty good dancer."

"Whose little one are you?" Lin Shuang took the silver note, and after confirming that it wasn't fake, she saw that he didn't answer, so she said again, "I'll teach you."

Lin Shuang found it strange, but since she was getting money, she didn't ask any further questions.

There was a commotion outside the window, so Lin Shuang opened it. "What are you doing here?"

She stared at the "little boy" and, mimicking his manner, handed Lin Shuang a silver ingot, saying, "Lady Lin Shuang, I would also like to ask you to be my master."

Lin Shuang looked at the silver and laughed so hard her chest was sticking to her back. "Little girl, where did you steal this little bit of silver from?"

“I didn’t steal it, this young master gave it to me. Now I’ll give you the silver. Can you be my master?” Her eyes were bright as she looked in the direction of Xiao Jiang Fenghua. She decided that she would follow this little boy from now on.

"You can't learn a skill with this little bit of money. You'd better be a good cleaning maid for now. The food here isn't very good."

The "little boy" said to Lin Shuang, "I'll buy her. How much silver?"

Lin Shuang was stunned, then obediently took out her indenture, "You two are really precocious little devils."

The little boy asked her, "What's your name?"

She shook her head. "I don't have a name, and I can't remember my parents' names or what they look like. I think I have an older sister, but I don't remember her name either. The people who sold me call me Er Ya."

"I'll change your name, but you don't have a surname."

She said, "I want to be surnamed Lin, like Lin Shuang, the Lin in Lin Shuang's name. I think she's so pretty. She was also the first person to give me a chicken leg after I came here, but I don't know how to write it."

“Okay!” The little boy lifted her palm and wrote the character “林” in it. “That’s how you write it.”

She stared into the "little boy's" eyes and felt they shone like stars. "My name is Lin Erya."

"I'll give you another name. From now on, you'll be called Lin Yu. You're quite smart and eloquent. Lady Lin Shuang seems to like you a lot. But I hope you'll live a happy life, as free as a bird in the forest."

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "You've redeemed me, so from now on you're my master, and I'll call you Young Master Ruan!"

"How did you know I was Young Master Ruan?"

"That's what they call you when you give them money."

The "little boy" nodded. "Alright, I have an older brother who will protect me from now on. When you see him, you can call him Young Master Ruan, or you can call me Young Master Ruan. If you want to leave, you can leave. You are free now, and I won't be staying here for long."

Xiao Linyu didn't understand what she meant, but she knew that from now on, she would follow her wherever she went and would never leave her for the rest of her life.

Many years later, Lin Shuangniang was murdered. It was said that she was tortured to death. She found out that a group of high-ranking officials had hired women from a dance hall to entertain their guests. None of them came back alive, and the dance hall could no longer operate without its top performer.

She inquired with some people at the dance studio, including Su Dehai, Yang Jing, and some officials.

At that time, their strength was too weak to avenge Lin Shuang.

Lin Yu came to her senses and saw basins of bloody water being carried out of the room. She asked, "Why is there so much blood? How is the young master?"

Jiang Jinyan, quick-witted as ever, hurriedly said, "Ruan Ruan hasn't given birth yet, how do you know it's a little boy? Granny Wang and Granny Xu just explained that bleeding is normal, her water has already broken, she should be giving birth soon."

Lin Yu then realized she had been somewhat out of line and quickly said, "I hope the Crown Princess will give birth to the young master safely."

Tan Wanqing also said, "The Crown Princess is such a kind-hearted person, God will surely bless her."

The Second Princess, the Third Princess, and the Fourth Princess all went to the front hall.

Xie Shang had never felt time pass so slowly. He refused to leave, even if he couldn't be in the delivery room with her, he wanted to stay here and watch over her.

Inside the room, Jiang Fenghua held Feng Jingyuan tightly, her body drenched in sweat, waves of pain draining her of all her strength.

The midwife continued her efforts, "Your Highness, keep going! The cervix is ​​dilated, we can see the baby's head, give it one more push!"

Jiang Fenghua gritted her teeth, biting her lips until they bled, and cried out with all her might, "Ah!"

Immediately afterwards, the midwife's joyful voice rang out, "The first baby's head is out, push, Your Highness!"

Jiang Fenghua felt dizzy and disoriented. Her mother was trying hard to hold back her tears. She wanted to encourage her daughter, "Ruan Ruan, this is the most crucial time. I'm here with you. I'll be here for you. You'll always be my precious baby."

"Mother," Jiang Fenghua finally managed to utter a single word, "I...I can do it." She has endured so much suffering, she will definitely not lose.

But experiencing it again was still incredibly painful, and she never wanted to have children again!

Just then, the midwife brought out the first child and said happily, "It's a little prince! Congratulations, Crown Princess!"

Granny Wang and the others quickly took the child. They had prepared swaddling clothes in advance, and they were just waiting for the child to cry out loud. Granny Wang was overjoyed and wept tears of joy.

After using up all her strength, Jiang Fenghua felt like she wanted to die.

Fortunately, they knew in advance that she was pregnant with twins, so the midwives didn't panic.
