As soon as Zhao Mingyue entered the Prince's mansion, a servant announced the good news to him: "Congratulations, General! Your wife has given birth to a healthy baby boy."
"Really? She's already given birth?" Zhao Mingyue forced herself to remain calm, but her voice trembled uncontrollably as she spoke.
"She gave birth a few days ago, just after her one-month celebration. I thought you would be back on the day of her one-month celebration, but you're a little late," the servant explained with a happy expression.
Zhao Mingyue reached into her bosom, pulled out a piece of silver, and tossed it to the servant. The servant thanked her profusely and became even more attentive.
The brothers Fu and his friends heard it too, and they ran together to the courtyard where Zhang Xiantao lived. There they saw Boss Zhou with a worried look on his face.
"Father, what brings you here?" Dafu was startled and quickly stepped forward.
"Father!" Erfu and the others called out in unison.
"Oh, you're finally back! Your mother and I were so worried!" Zhou the eldest stepped forward with his hands behind his back, then craned his neck to look back. "Where's Xingxing? Where's your sister?"
The men were speechless, all lowering their heads and not daring to speak.
"I asked where your sister is? Why aren't you saying anything?" Old Zhou couldn't help but raise his voice.
Dafu pursed his lips, his eyes red, and remained silent. Erfu and Sifu hugged each other and cried, while Wufu sniffled but couldn't say anything.
Sanfu took a deep breath and said, word by word, "We haven't found it yet, Dad. Don't worry, we'll go out to sea again when the weather gets better, and we'll definitely find Xingxing."
“How could we not find them? Haven’t we found everyone? Even the hundreds of villagers on the island are safe and sound. They’ve all been brought back and settled by the government. Why hasn’t my Xingxing come back? My daughter!” Zhao Guihua had just come out of Zhang Xiantao’s house. When she saw Zhao Mingyue enter the house, she wisely left, leaving the three of them alone.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard Sanfu's words, and she burst into tears, stomping her feet and pounding her heart.
"Mother, Mother, calm down, Mother, don't cry." All five of Fu's brothers surrounded her, worried that she would faint from the shock.
"How can I stay calm? What kind of brothers are you? You've been searching for so long and still can't find him. I..." Zhao Guihua cried and then fainted.
Chaos erupted in the courtyard. Boss Zhou was crying and shouting, and Brother Fu and his men were also very agitated.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiantao was leaning against Zhao Mingyue's chest. The young couple hadn't seen each other for several months and were now snuggling together.
"I'm going out to take a look." Zhao Mingyue paused for a moment, kissed his wife on the forehead, and then turned and left.
Zhang Xiantao felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and a deep smile appeared on her lips. She got up and carried her son from the crib to her bed, gently saying to the still-sleeping baby, "Baby, your dad's back. Are you happy?"
The little one, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly frowned, pouted, and started crying loudly. Xiao Huan and Xiao Yuan heard the crying and rushed in.
"Did the young master wet himself again?" Xiaoyuan asked in a very experienced tone as she walked over and unwrapped the baby's blanket without saying a word.
Sure enough, the baby had peed. Xiao Huan took a clean diaper and placed it on the bed, then put the basin on the ground. Xiao Yuan picked up the baby to help him urinate, making sounds as she did so, "Oh oh shh shh shh."
The young master always urinates only halfway. If you don't let him do it again, you just change his diaper. As soon as you change it, he will urinate. Over the past month, Xiaoyuan has mastered the young master's habits.
Every time Zhang Xiantao saw Xiaoyuan being helped to urinate like this, she would laugh.
Xiaoyuan was already used to it. She glared at her and said irritably, "Miss, I specially learned this technique from a midwife. You didn't see how cooperative the young master is every time. This is inseparable from my method."
"Yes, I know. You've said that so many times, how could I forget? But I can't help but laugh when I see you like this, I just can't control myself." Zhang Xiantao explained gently, suppressing her laughter.
"Don't say that, this job is really best done by Xiaoyuan. Even when I help the young master pee, he's not this cooperative," Xiaohuan joked.
The three of them chatted and laughed. After they had wrapped the little one up again, Zhao Mingyue returned. He looked unwell and preoccupied.
"What happened?" Zhang Xiantao asked worriedly.
Zhao Mingyue's expression softened, and she said gently, "It's nothing, it's just that Aunt Zhao fainted. The imperial physician took her pulse and said that she was too worried and suffered too much shock."
“It’s been more than half a year, of course we’re worried. Uncle Zhou and his wife are sensitive people. They couldn’t see Brother Fu going back, so they came over in person. Once he’s here, nothing can be hidden anymore.” Zhang Xiantao said, her face full of worry.
"You just gave birth, you should try to relax," Zhao Mingyue said, concerned about her health.
"I know what I'm doing, and I'll try to be more relaxed for the sake of my child."
However, she still feels sad when she suddenly thinks about it, so she can only try to distract herself. Fortunately, she has a child to worry about. "When I was pregnant, I was afraid that the child would not get enough nutrition, so I ate as many supplements and meat as possible. As a result, I gained a lot of weight, and I haven't lost it even though I gave birth a month ago."
"You look better when you're a little chubby. Being too thin isn't good for your health. I like you when you're a little chubby," Zhao Mingyue said sincerely.
“I love your mouth, it’s sweeter than honey. When we first met, I thought you were dull, but I didn’t expect you to be such a smooth talker,” Zhang Xiantao glared at him and said, “Go take a shower first. You can’t hold the baby if you’re covered in dust. Change into clean clothes before you come back.”
Zhao Mingyue looked longingly at the little figure on the bed with its big, round eyes, her heart softening, and her voice became even gentler, "Okay, I'll go wash up right away."
As Zhao Mingyue came out of the house, she saw Fu Ge and his friends surrounding Zhao Guihua and walking out of the courtyard. She asked, "Where are you all going?"
