Upon returning to Liuyan Courtyard, Shen Que took his leave.
Dongyun closed the courtyard gate and said to Li Yunyan, "Miss, the second young master is so polite. It's worth raising him! He's much better than the son-in-law!"
Li Yunyan smiled but remained silent.
It was late at night.
Li Yunyan had already turned off the light and lay down when she heard a light knocking sound from the window.
She shook her head and chuckled; she knew it!
She went over, supporting her pregnant belly, opened the window, and Shen Que jumped in.
"Yan Yan!"
As soon as he came in, he pulled her into his arms.
Li Yunyan asked in a low voice, "You climbed over the courtyard wall?"
"Um."
You answered quite fluently!
Li Yunyan inhaled his fresh scent after his shower and took a few deep breaths.
Her voice was soft and gentle, "Congratulations!"
Shen Que had heard many congratulations today, but no amount of congratulations could compare to her few words!
He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Sister, I miss you so much. Could you... give me a reward?"
Even when asking for a reward, they're so well-behaved!
We absolutely have to give it to them!
She tiptoed and hooked her arm around his neck, saying, "Carry me over."
Chen Que's eyes lit up, and he happily picked her up and carried her to the bed.
He gently laid her down, gazed at her in the moonlight, and slowly kissed her, with the tenderness of someone who cherishes a precious treasure.
"Sister...I miss you so much."
Li Yunyan reached into his clothes and felt his rapid heartbeat in her palm. She gently bit him and said, "Then do your best."
His breathing quickened instantly.
......
Golden October.
On a sunny afternoon, Li Yunyan launched the plan.
Shen's mother, Shen Fengxian, and Li Mingshan were all waiting outside the delivery room. Li Jingshu also received the news and rushed over, anxiously waiting.
Only Shen Que was not qualified to enter, and he paced back and forth outside Liuyan Courtyard.
Li Yunyan had already taken painless childbirth pills and gave birth to a son and a daughter smoothly.
"They're twins, a boy and a girl!"
The midwife was overjoyed! She was so lucky to have encountered such a fortunate event; she was sure to receive a huge reward!
Hearing the midwife's exclamation from outside, Shen's mother immediately beamed with joy.
She pulled at Granny Lin, "Quick! Prepare the reward money! I have a grandson!"
Granny Lin beamed with joy, "Madam, this old servant has been preparing this since early morning!"
"Okay! Okay! Help me inside quickly! I want to see my precious grandson!"
"Yes, Madam, please take your time!"
Shen Fengxian and Li Mingshan exchanged a smile. Now that he had an heir, there would be no more trouble for him in the inner quarters!
The mother entered the delivery room, picked up the boy, and went to the outer room.
"Xian'er! Come quickly and see your son! My grandson!"
Granny Lin, carrying the girl, also walked over, "And the young lady!"
Shen Fengxian walked forward, and Li Mingshan couldn't wait to follow.
He scrutinized the child's features closely and found that the child did not resemble him at all, but instead looked remarkably like Li Yunyan.
That's good! If I look too much like him, it might arouse suspicion from others, and it would be difficult to explain later.
Li Yunyan is great! She's beautiful!
Shen Fengxian glanced at it briefly, didn't even hug it, and then nodded.
He said to his mother, "Mother, I don't know how to raise young children. I will have to trouble you to take care of the two children from now on!"
Mrs. Shen's face crinkled with laughter. "My own grandson, of course I'll take care of him myself! I wouldn't trust anyone else with him!"
"With the mother taking care of the child, the son can rest assured!"
They chatted happily in the outer room, while Li Jingshu was in the delivery room, accompanying Li Yunyan who had just given birth.
Her eyes were full of heartache. "Yan'er, how are you feeling? Let me feed you some ginseng soup!"
"No need, sister!"
Li Yunyan held her hand, "Sister, don't worry, I'm not tired at all!"
"Then you should take a nap! There's no need to force yourself to stay awake!"
Li Yunyan nodded obediently and slowly closed her eyes.
Li Jingshu listened to the conversation outside and felt resentful.
The Shen family is really something! Yan'er gave birth to two children for them, and not a single person came to show any concern!
They're just a bunch of ingrates!
And then there's Li Mingshan, who actually brought a matchmaker to Huajinge!
He acted all high and mighty, and his manners were impeccable. He seemed to be deeply in love with her!
If Yan'er hadn't spoken to her beforehand and let her know Li Mingshan's character, she might have really been deceived by him!
If she had really married into the Li family, who knows what she would look like now!
Li Jingshu stayed with Li Yunyan until evening before leaving. Kang'er was still young and had just started learning, so she had to go back to take care of the child.
Before leaving, she gave Li Yunyan a box of silver notes and some ginseng supplements, gave Dongyun some instructions, and then left reluctantly.
Li Yunyan lay in bed, having already anticipated that the two children would be taken away by Shen's mother!
Once the person leaves, the tea cools; she has no more use to them—that's her current situation.
"Dongyun, go and rest! You've had a long day!"
"Miss, I'm not tired!" Dongyun's eyes were filled with tears.
"What are you crying for!"
Li Yunyan smiled faintly, "It's good that the old lady took the child away. There are few people in our courtyard, and if the child starts crying, it might not be peaceful."
"But Miss! They're bullying you! You're in your postpartum period right now! They won't even find you a maid!"
