The Su family was in chaos, and Su Wan had started another attack, so Guan Chang had no choice but to call his wife to keep an eye on things.
Madam Guan, accompanied by her maids and servants, arrived at the couple's bridal chamber, repeatedly saying with displeasure, "What's wrong with the Su family? Don't they know how to talk to people without restraint?"
The servants around her hurried off to boil water and tidy up. Madam Guan went in and glanced at Su Wan. Seeing her pregnant belly and tearful face, she couldn't bear it.
"Don't cry yet. Save your strength for pushing later. Giving birth is a big deal. If you don't have the strength, you'll suffer the consequences."
A maid brought in a bowl of brown sugar and eggs, and the others helped her up. "Eat something first. When the midwife tells you to push, then push. Don't be afraid, the doctor is waiting outside."
After Madam Guan finished speaking, Su Wan nodded, "Thank you, Mother."
"You are responsible for your own body and the baby in your belly. Everything can be solved if there is a problem. But if something happens to the baby, there will be no chance to make up for it."
After saying that, she left. Su Wan wiped away her tears, and the maid beside her wiped away her sweat. "Master, get up and eat something." Su Wan cheered up, ate, and followed the midwife's instructions.
Take a rest and conserve your energy.
The Su family.
After examining her, the doctor said, "Madam, this is just a case of anger affecting your heart. There's nothing else seriously wrong. Once you wake up, try to comfort her. There's nothing you can't get over."
"Thank you, doctor."
Da Shi took the doctor back and went to get the medicine. Fang Yi stayed by Su's mother's side. This year, the family bought maids and servants, and the children were taken care of by the servants.
"Uncle, you should go and check on my sister first. I'll stay here and look after my mother-in-law."
Su Yi didn't speak or leave; he just knelt in front of the bed with his head down.
Fang Yi was helpless. Xiao Shi said, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go over there and take a look? We'll come over when Mother wakes up."
Fang Yi felt that this was the only way. It would be unacceptable for no one to be there when her sister gave birth. Although the servants had said that there was no major problem, childbirth itself was a major issue.
After everyone left, Xiao Shi knelt down beside Su Yi and asked, "Second Brother, is Huanhuan really lost?"
"What are you running away from? If you lost her, shouldn't you go find her? Why are you doing this?"
Xiao Shi was very angry; how did the family suddenly fall into such chaos?
"I've looked everywhere, but I can't find it."
Chu Yi's voice was hoarse, and as he spoke, tears streamed down his face and fell to the ground. This was the first time in all these years that Xiao Shi had ever seen him cry.
"How could we not find her? As long as she's not dead, we'll find her no matter what. If we can't find her in a day, we can find her in a day, or even a year. Maybe she's suffering somewhere waiting for us to rescue her."
"Can you really bear to disappoint her? What was her original intention in earning money? It was for our family, for your schooling. Now that she's disappeared, are you just going to abandon her?"
Su Yi's explanation, "I didn't," was utterly unconvincing.
Xiao Shi stood up: "Second Brother, think it over carefully yourself. I'm going to go see Eldest Sister."
Su Yi kept his head down until his mother woke up on the bed, "Mother..."
Su's mother held his hand and said again and again, "Listen to Xiao Shi, you must find her."
Then, dragging his tired body, he got up.
Su Yi supported her, "Mother, I will."
"Let's go see your eldest sister." Although Su's mother was sad, she couldn't stop thinking about her daughters. Her younger daughter was lost, and her eldest daughter was giving birth. She didn't have time to grieve.
Seeing her mother-in-law's expression, Madam Guan knew she couldn't offer any advice and could only wait in the courtyard.
Because the pregnancy was threatened, labor started later than Fang Yi's. Fortunately, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy. Madam Guan held him and couldn't stop smiling, "My good grandson."
He took a gold lock from his sleeve and placed it on the swaddling clothes, saying, "Give this to my dear grandson to calm his nerves."
He then gave the midwife a silver ingot as a reward, and only handed the baby to the wet nurse when the baby cried, saying, "My dear grandson is hungry and needs to drink milk."
Given Su Wan's mental state, her mother had no objection to the temporary wet nurse they found.
Su Wan fell asleep from exhaustion, tears still on her face.
Fang Yi's eyes were also red. "Mother, why don't you go back and rest? I'll stay here and watch over my younger sister."
Su's mother shook her head, she was worried, "Go back, Mianmian will look for you tonight. Ask your mother-in-law to help you, I really can't leave."
Fang Yi agreed, "Okay, then you should also take care of your health. Don't worry about things at home, I'll ask my mother to come and take care of Mianmian."
Because of this, the birth of the new life did not lessen the Su family's grief. Madam Guan arranged the baby's third-day celebration and full-month celebration. In fact, to make it easier to see her grandson every day, she moved in with the young couple.
Fortunately, she was there, otherwise the child would have been wronged.
After several months, the Su family finally accepted the news.
The people at the county school were all sighing when they learned that Su Yi hadn't passed the imperial examination. "It's such a pity."
"I heard it's because his sister went missing. She's the one who does business with the Guan family. She went to the prefectural capital with him, but she didn't come back with him."
"How pitiful..."
The two people left, and the vegetable basket in the woman's hand fell to the ground. A boy ran over from another direction, "Mom, what's wrong?"
The woman ignored everything and ran to the Su family's house to knock on the door.
Changsheng opened the door, and she went in. She saw Su Yi in the courtyard and questioned him, "Did you lose Huanhuan? Did you lose her? Say something!"
Hearing the commotion, Su's mother came out and was a little surprised to see Aunt Tang. "Sister, what are you doing here?"
Aunt Tang ignored her and stared at Su Yi, saying each word clearly, "You said you would protect her, so why did she get lost? Why didn't you go look for her?"
She knew the Su family was here last year. Su Yi found her and told her not to bother Liu Huan anymore, that he would treat her well. But what happened? Liu Huan is gone.
"Give her back to me, give her back to me."
The Su family members pulled her back, saying, "Why are you hitting people? What are you doing?"
It was only later that she was Liu Huan's biological mother, but Liu Huan never acknowledged her.
This caused Su's mother and Su Wan to cry again.
In the capital city, a hundred and eight thousand miles away from Qingyang County, in the inner courtyard of a luxurious mansion, servants and imperial physicians went in and out, while a richly dressed woman cried uncontrollably.
It took quite a while for things to quiet down.
The imperial physician said, "Your Highness, the princess has taken the medicine brought by the prince and will be able to live like a normal person from now on."
The beautiful woman held up the handkerchief to confirm again, "Really? That's wonderful!"
The maids and servants knelt on the ground, saying, "Congratulations, Princess! Congratulations, Your Highness!"
In the next room, the little girl lying on the bed heard the voice and said happily, "Is the princess really alright?"
The little girl was about eleven years old. Her eyes were full of joy when she spoke, and they were bright and very cute.
The girl next to her, who was slightly older, said, "Yes, so you should get well soon too, so we can serve the princess together."
"Yeah, I'll be fine soon. It's all my fault. I broke my leg by accident. I'm so useless."
“You fell because you were protecting the princess, so you’re useless now. You should rest, I’ll go out and take a look.”
"Okay, thank you very much, Sister Hanlu."
The little girl finished speaking with a sweet smile and lay down. The injured spot on her head started to throb again. She touched the other person with her hand and muttered, "How could I have hurt my head? I can't remember anything. I'm so stupid."
