Chapter 68 Yuyan Gives Birth to a Child

The wife of the Marquis of Zhennan looked at her son's body, heartbroken and crying like rain.

However, Marquis Zhennan was not too sad, because he had more than one son, Gu Zhangnian.

Besides, although Gu Zhangnian was the legitimate son, he had a bad reputation and was known as a playboy. The Marquis of Zhennan had long been disgusted with this son.

On the contrary, his two illegitimate sons were both talented and knowledgeable, and were far better than Gu Zhangnian.

Especially the son of concubine Wang, who was very talented. If it were not for his status as a bastard's son, the Marquis of Zhennan would have wanted to make her son the crown prince.

That night, a mysterious note quietly appeared in Wang's house.

After reading it, Wang threw it into the brazier and burned it.

From then on, the health of the Marquis of Zhennan's wife deteriorated day by day. Less than two months later, she died of grief, following her son.

In just two months, the Marquis's Mansion held two funerals in succession. The Marquis of Zhennan was heartbroken and handed the mansion over to Wang for management. He himself used the excuse of being sick and stayed indoors.

After the death of the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan, the Marquis of Zhennan did not care much about Gu Zhangnian's death, and the matter was finally over.

The matter was settled and soon no one mentioned it again.

Song family, Changchun Hall.

The old lady sat in the main seat, her face filled with joy. She glanced at everyone in the room and then said, "Good news came from Prince Shun's Mansion this morning. They said Yuyan successfully gave birth to a child last night, and it's a boy! What a great joy!"

After hearing this, Song Hongzhi also showed a bright smile on his face. He said excitedly: "This is indeed a great thing! Princess Shun has not been pregnant yet, and Yuyan gave birth to Prince Shun's first son. This is undoubtedly a great thing for our Song family!"

The old lady continued, "The day after tomorrow is the third day of the baby's birth, and we will have a chance to visit Yuyan then.

Now, quickly send someone to prepare a generous gift. It must be generous, understand? Yuyan is now in the palace and has a child. She must need money a lot. We must help if we can. "The old lady's words were full of joy.

Not only that, the old lady secretly planned to give Song Yuyan some silver notes as a reward in private.

This is both a compliment and a bribe. More importantly, he wants to use it to win over Song Yuyan's heart, hoping that she will take care of the Song family in the future for the sake of the money.

"Okay, mother, I'll tell someone to prepare it right away." Song Hongzhi replied.

At this time, Song Yuyao whispered to Song Yuning and Song Yurou, "See, I was right. Fifth sister must be giving birth to a boy. Those small clothes and bellybands we prepared before can finally be given to the baby." The three of them smiled at each other.

Song Yurou smiled and nodded, then said, "Come to think of it, Sixth Sister seems to be giving birth soon. I wonder if she'll give birth to a son or a daughter."

"It's a pity that it's too far away. We're afraid we won't be able to see Sixth Sister's baby in person. Let's send the small clothes over. By the time they arrive, Sixth Sister's baby will probably be about to be born." Song Yuning continued.

Song Yuwan and Lu Zhixing had been together since February, so it had been four months now. Calculating it, she was eight months pregnant and about to give birth.

"Then I have to write another letter. The last time Sixth Sister wrote to me, she said that the place was quite poor. I don't know how Sixth Sister is doing now.

She's been raised in luxury, and now she's pregnant, I wonder if she can handle it." Song Yuyao said with concern.

"Don't worry, Sixth Sister is so smart and will take good care of herself. And your brother-in-law is by your side, he will definitely take good care of you." Song Yurou comforted.

More importantly, Song Yuwan brought a lot of servants with her. She is not someone who would treat herself badly, so she will definitely live a good life.

It was the first time that the Shun Prince's Mansion held a third-day baptism ceremony, so it was quite grand. Princess Shun personally organized it to express her appreciation for Song Yuyan and her appreciation for the child.

Many dignitaries were invited to the banquet, and several of Prince Shun’s brothers and sisters were also present.

Seeing this scene, the old lady and Song Hongzhi were even happier.

As Song Yuyan's family members, Song Yuning and others were first arranged to go to Song Yuyan's yard to see her while she was in confinement.

Finally they saw Song Yuyan again, and everyone couldn't help but look at her.

Song Yuyan was lying on the bed at this time, covered with a quilt. Although her face was a little pale, she was not weak. Instead, there was a soft glow on her face.

She is a little fatter than before, which shows that she was well cared for during pregnancy.

"Grandma, my three sisters, you are here?" Song Yuyan was also very happy to see her family.

The old lady was even happier, calling him "my dearest" all the time, and then she talked about many things to pay attention to during the confinement period.

"Don't touch cold water, and be careful with what you eat. You must take good care of yourself during the confinement period, otherwise you will get postpartum illness. You will have headaches and back pains in the future. Got it?"

Song Yuyan smiled and agreed to everything: "Thank you, grandma. Yuyan remembers everything."

As they were talking, the wet nurse came in holding the baby.

The old lady quickly stood up and walked quickly to the wet nurse. She lowered her head and looked at the child carefully. Her face was full of love and joy, but she did not say a word of praise.

Because people often say that children are not blessed enough and should not be praised casually. Sometimes people even deliberately say unpleasant things, such as "you are so ugly", which is actually a way of saying the opposite, hoping to accumulate more blessings for the children.

Song Yuning, Song Yuyao and Song Yurou also gathered around and looked at the newborn baby curiously.

The little guy was only a few days old, his skin was still red, his eyes were tightly closed, and he was sleeping quietly. It was impossible to tell who he looked like.

"This child is so fat!" Song Yuyao couldn't help but reach out her hand and gently stroke the child's tender cheek, feeling the soft and elastic touch, which felt quite nice.

Song Yuyan smiled and said, "When this child was in my belly, he was very naughty and would kick me several times every day. I didn't expect that he would become much more well-behaved after he was born."

"It seems that this child is very sensible. He knows that his fifth sister suffered a lot when she was pregnant, so he is behaving well now and doesn't want to make you tired anymore." Song Yurou looked at the baby in the cradle gently and said softly to Song Yuyan.

Song Yuyan's lips curled up into a smile, and she looked at the baby in the cradle with a bit of maternal love on her face. Then, she turned her gaze to Song Yurou who was sitting beside her and asked softly, "Sister Yurou, have you set a date for your wedding?"

The old lady said in a kind tone, "It's already under discussion. Once the date is set, I will send a servant to inform the concubine."

Song Yuyan nodded gently: "We sisters grew up together. Yurou is about to get married, and I must personally send her a dowry."

Song Yurou's cheeks flushed slightly, but she still stood up and thanked him: "Thank you, Fifth Sister."
