Jiang Yan's eyes were red with excitement, tears welling up in them. He held Doctor Zhang's hand tightly, his voice choking as he said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang! If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been disastrous. I will never forget your kindness." Su Qingyao also said, "Doctor Zhang, thank you so much. You are our Su family's great benefactor, and we, the entire Su family, will repay you with gratitude."
Afterward, Jiang Yan walked into the delivery room. Seeing Su Jinli, frail but beaming with happiness, his heart filled with heartache and gratitude. He walked to the bedside and gently took Su Jinli's hand, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world. He said, "Jinli, you've suffered. It's all over. You and the child are safe. This is our greatest happiness." Su Jinli raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Yan, her eyes filled with love and fatigue. She said weakly, "As long as the child is safe, all the suffering I endure is worth it."
Jiang Yan looked at the swaddled child, a wave of warmth welling up in his heart, a joy and emotion beyond words. This hard-earned little life was the fruit of his and Su Jinli's love, the continuation of their lives, and their hope for the future. He secretly vowed to use his own life to protect them, never again to let them suffer any harm, to shelter them from the elements, and to ensure they lived in warmth and peace.
Elsewhere in the Prime Minister's residence, Jiang Yan immediately ordered an investigation. He dispatched the palace's guards, casting a dragnet to search for clues related to the incident. After painstaking efforts, they finally uncovered some clues. It turned out that the incident was indeed the work of the family of the Minister of Revenue. The Minister and Jiang Yan had long harbored a deep grudge due to their political disagreements at court. Upon learning that Su Jinli was about to give birth, he harbored a malicious intent, intending to harm Su Jinli's unborn child to vent his hatred against Jiang Yan.
Upon learning the truth, Jiang Yan immediately reported the matter to the Emperor. The Emperor, enraged, ordered the arrest of the Minister of Revenue and his accomplices. After a rigorous interrogation, the Minister and his accomplices confessed to their crimes. Ultimately, they received the punishment they deserved: dismissal from office, confiscation of their property, and disgrace. Their evil deeds had paid a heavy price, a fitting retribution for their actions.
After this thrilling incident, Jiang Yan and Su Jinli cherish each other even more. They also understand that in the complex and ever-changing struggles of the palace and officialdom, they must always remain vigilant, like walking through a thorny bush, and take every step with caution. And this hard-earned little life will also thrive in the Prime Minister's Mansion, a family as warm as the spring sun, under the meticulous care and protection of everyone.
As time slowly passed, the little boy grew up. He was fair, plump, delicate, and adorable, perfectly inheriting Jiang Yan's intelligence and Su Jinli's beauty, as if he were the most precious gift bestowed upon them by heaven. Jiang Yan and Su Jinli watched their child grow up, their hearts filled with joy and happiness, a joy that flowed through their hearts like a gurgling stream. They named him Jiang Yu, implying that he would one day possess a vast world, soaring like an eagle across the sky, achieving great things and leaving his name in history.
From a young age, Jiang Yu displayed exceptional talent and intelligence, like a brilliant pearl, shimmering with a unique brilliance amidst the crowd. He was filled with curiosity about everything around him, his eyes twinkling like stars in the night sky, and he constantly asked eccentric questions, as if he wanted to explore all the mysteries of the world. Jiang Yan and Su Jinli patiently answered his questions, like a beacon of light, guiding him in his journey of learning and exploration, opening the door to his wisdom. Young Marquis Su often took Jiang Yu out to play in the courtyard, teaching him simple martial arts and archery techniques. Jiang Yu studied diligently, striving for perfection in every move, and each time impressed Young Marquis Su, who saw him as a reflection of his own youth.
Su Qingyao taught Jiang Yu poetry, songs, and painting. Jiang Yu also showed a keen interest in these art forms, as if he had found his soul's home. His paintings were often filled with childlike innocence and imagination, and every stroke of his brush depicted the wonderful world in his mind, like a dreamlike fairyland. He also recited poetry with great skill, his childish voice seemed to contain endless emotion, as if he could travel through time and space to engage in a conversation with ancient poets. Princess Shou'an also often visited Jiang Yu at the Prime Minister's residence. She would bring him all kinds of interesting toys and storybooks, which seemed to be the key to Jiang Yu's happiness. Spending happy times with him filled Jiang Yu's childhood with laughter and joy.
In this loving family, Jiang Yu grew happily, like a thriving sapling, striving to reach the sky. His cheerful and optimistic disposition warmed those around him like the sun, and his kindness and integrity made him the embodiment of justice. He was beloved by everyone around him, from the elders in his family to the servants in the mansion, who all sang his praises. As he grew older, Jiang Yu gradually revealed his own ambitions and ideals. He hoped that when he grew up, he would, like his father, contribute to the country and its people, become a responsible and accomplished person, and leave his glorious mark in the long river of history.
Jiang Yan and Su Jinli watched their son grow up with both joy and emotion. They were pleased that their son had thrived under their care, displaying extraordinary talent and character; yet they lamented that time was fleeting, and that their son would one day leave their protection to pursue his own dreams and soar high. They believed, however, that Jiang Yu, raised in this loving and warm family, would possess the courage and ability to face the challenges of the future, like a brave sailor braving the waves of life. They looked forward to Jiang Yu's future, hoping he would create a wonderful life of his own and write a glorious chapter. And their family would continue to enjoy a happy life in this prime minister's mansion, like a heartwarming scroll, continuing their beautiful story, passed down from generation to generation, forever.
