Chapter 3 This Milk Is Poisonous



After returning to the house, Qin kept holding the little guy and refused to let go, nor did she dare to rest.

She is afraid!

My daughter was nearly killed at birth.

She could hear her daughter's thoughts.

Moreover, during childbirth, she knew that she did not have enough strength and would definitely die from hemorrhage.

I didn't expect that he would survive.

Everything today is incredible and like a dream.

She was afraid that it was just a dream, and when she woke up, everything would be gone.

She was extremely confused and even felt that there was a layer of fog in front of her eyes that had not been cleared.

There seemed to be a lot of things inside that I couldn’t see clearly before.

She bent down and kissed the soft little face in her arms, which made her feel a little relieved.

She had given birth to three children before, two sons and one daughter, but none of them was as round, fair, and firm as this child, as if she were a two or three-month-old baby.

Just never opened my eyes.

The other three children all have beautiful eyes.

Both she and her husband had clear brows and bright eyes.

This kid won't be bad.

Several maids brought ginseng soup and hot water one after another.

"Madam, you have just given birth and are exhausted. Lie down and rest for a while. Leave the young lady to me. I need to clean her body."

Seeing Qin's worry, Yanzhu was also extremely worried.

"Be careful not to wake her."

Qin gave the child to Yanzhu without taking her eyes off him.

"Where is the general? Is there any new news?" She lowered her voice very softly.

Yan Zhu replied in a low voice: "We received news this morning that they are almost at Zhulu Mountain and will arrive outside the city in the evening."

"The general will return to the city to visit his wife first, and will leave the city tomorrow morning to join the army in entering the city."

After hearing this, Qin finally had a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Yan Zhu was finally able to relax.

The General is back and everything will be fine.

Who in the capital doesn’t envy the Annan Marquis’ Mansion?

The late marquis fought together with the late emperor to conquer the world and built this family fortune.

But he died in battle early, and the old lady raised the old marquis alone, struggling to support the empty marquisate.

Fortunately, the old marquis was also very capable and made great contributions in suppressing the bandits, and he successfully inherited the title.

Today, the general is even more extraordinary. Even though he has the title of the prince of a marquisate, he has earned the title of the great general guarding the country by relying on his own strength. He is highly regarded by the emperor and loved by the people.

The only surprise was that the general's biological mother died when he was young.

The current marquis' wife is the marquis's distant cousin.

But she treated the general like her own son and was also very caring towards Qin.

The marquis's wife has a son and a daughter. Although the family has not yet separated, they live in harmony.

The lady is the daughter of a prominent family and comes from a family of scholars.

One is a scholar and the other is a warrior. At first, no one was optimistic about their relationship and thought they would not get along.

But what everyone in the capital did not expect was that although the general was a big and strong man, he obeyed his wife's words, and they loved and lived in harmony with each other and had a very good relationship.

Some people even joked that the general was dominated by his wife.

After fifteen years of marriage, there was not even a concubine or maid in the house.

There are even rumors that the lady appears gentle and humble outside, but is actually a tigress when she returns home.

Occasionally, the neighboring mansion would hear a man crying at night.

What does this have to do with that?

Although the general was afraid of his wife, he did it voluntarily.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Madam.

The little girl in the bathtub may have dreamed of something. She splashed her hands in the water twice, and the warm water gradually came out, wetting the maids' skirts.

Qin looked at him and thought he had woken up.

But when Yanzhu got closer, he saw that his eyes were still closed, and his little mouth was pursed, which was very cute. He couldn't help but smile and said:

"Madam, the young lady seems to want to drink milk."

Yanzhu was Qin's personal maid who came with her as a dowry, and she had been with Qin since she was a child.

She had also helped take care of the three young ladies and young masters before, so she could naturally see that the little ones were sucking milk with their little mouths.

"Let the wet nurse come and feed the baby." Qin glanced into the basin and felt warm in her heart.

The marquis' wife had prepared wet nurses early on. There were two of them in total, and both lived in the side courtyard next door.

But what was surprising was that as soon as the milk entered his mouth, the little guy who was still sleeping a second ago suddenly opened his eyes and spit out all the milk.

Vomiting and coughing.

The two wet nurses were so frightened that they came out of the cubicle holding their children and knelt on the ground.

"Madam, for some reason, the young lady refuses to drink my milk."

"So does this servant."

The wet nurse broke out in a cold sweat.

Not only did she refuse to drink milk, she even tried to dig out the milk she had drunk in her sleep.

[Pah, pah, pah… What a disgusting thing… How can there be such sour water in the world? Cough cough cough…]

The little guy was crying because of the acid.

This water is poisonous.

[Wow wow wow… Why am I so miserable? I’m the first phoenix in the entire clan to fail in Nirvana. I’ve already been laughed at.]

[Now I have to endure the bullying of humans in the mortal world... Wuwuwu... I don't want to live anymore...]

poisonous!

Hearing this word, Qin's heart was shocked.

Thinking back to the time when I gave birth in the morning, I suddenly didn't dare to hand the baby over.

"Yanzhu, bring the child here."

Qin had some guesses in her mind, and while holding the child, she ordered, "Go get some goat milk."

Soon, Yanzhu brought the goat milk.

The little guy first stuck out his tongue to taste it, and then started drinking with big gulps of the spoon.

One spoonful after another.

[Ah… It’s back to life, but the flavor is a little bland. Just add some honey and it’ll be fine…]

The little guy sucked with his lips, looking like he was enjoying it.

Qin heaved a sigh of relief.

The wet nurse was still kneeling on the ground, sweating profusely. They looked at each other and immediately lowered their heads.

Trembling with fear and at a loss.

Before they came over, they heard Midwife Liu's screams and were afraid of their own fate.

"You guys go down first." Qin said gently, "Maybe the little one is frightened. Come back later to serve."

The two wet nurses followed the order, but their eyes were full of panic.

"Yanzhu..." Qin called Yanzhu over and whispered in her ear,

"Send someone to watch over them, and then go find a trustworthy doctor to examine the two wet nurses."

Yan Zhu's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and told everyone to get out.

"Madam, do you think there's something wrong with the two wet nurses, and that's why the young lady doesn't want to drink milk?"

What happened in the delivery room made Yan Zhu think of everything in the worst possible way.

But the two wet nurses have been taking good care of her in the mansion. Even if she was not in good health before, she should be fully recovered in these three months.

Moreover, these two people were carefully selected by Mrs. Rong.

"Seal the news first and don't let it spread to other courtyards."

Qin tightly grasped a corner of the swaddling clothes, her palms were covered with sweat, and her eyes were filled with anxiety.

It seems as if some deeply rooted cognition is about to be broken.

"Madam, rest assured. I will do it immediately. I will ask Commander Wang to keep an eye on him."

Yanzhu knew his wife's expression very well, so this must be true.

He immediately asked the trustworthy Luo Kui and Ming Xia to come in and serve him, while he went to find Commander Wang to explain the matter. He then disguised himself and hurried out of the mansion.
