"Liu'er," Qiu Dafu was forced off the bed, his face filled with shame. "I..."
"Where's the child?" Jiang Liu wanted to hear Qiu Dafu's explanation, but at the moment, her mind was focused on the child.
“In his room.” Qiu Dafu sat back down on the bed. “Don’t worry, Yu Mei is taking care of him.” As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Liu’s face.
His voice was weak and hoarse, which made Jiang Liu feel a pang of heartache.
"Qiu Dafu, are you going any further? Yu Mei has to take care of two children all by herself, it's already hard enough for her!"
Even so, she was finally relieved.
Next door, the baby's cries grew quieter and quieter until it finally fell asleep peacefully.
“It’s Yumei… She feels sorry for you because you don’t have a mother-in-law to take care of you.” Qiu Dafu was grateful to Yumei; she was more like an older sister than a younger sister.
For so many years, Yu Mei has been taking care of him.
Jiang Liu had long appreciated the kindness of her sister-in-law.
These days, Yu Mei has taken good care of her.
Seeing Qiu Dafu's weathered face...
"Get out!" Jiang Liu's spoiled princess temper had never improved.
As she spoke, she threw Qiu Dafu's pillow to the ground, and her eyes welled up with tears.
That heartless Qiu Dafu, why did he only come back now, and the first thing he did was sleep next to her.
Don't you know she's angry right now?
Qiu Dafu suddenly panicked.
He bent down to pick up the pillow from the floor, stood in the room, at a loss.
"Liu'er, I'm sorry... Please forgive me."
He hesitated, then saw Jiang Liu's tears. He hurriedly went to the bedside, wiped away her tears, and said urgently:
"Liu'er, don't cry. You can't cry during your postpartum period."
Seeing Jiang Liu still crying, he felt guilty and sad.
He reached out and grasped Jiang Liusu's hand in return.
"Liu'er, hit me, scold me however you want, just please stop crying, it will leave you with health problems."
Jiang Liu's palms ached from the calluses on Qiu Dafu's hands.
She pushed Qiu Dafu's arm away and then carefully examined the man in front of her.
He looked tired, with dark circles under his eyes, but his clothes were clean.
Not bad, at least they know to wash up and change clothes before going to bed.
Jiang Liu was angry.
Not seeing each other—is it longing or resentment?
When we met, I felt heartbroken.
"Where have you been all these days? Where have you been?!"
"I went to Northern Qi, Liu'er, I'm sorry..." Qiu Dafu turned around and grabbed Jiang Liu's wrist again, but Jiang Liu pushed him away once more.
"I'll hear your explanation later. If your explanation doesn't satisfy me, don't expect me to calm down!" Jiang Liu wanted to ask more.
However, her stomach was empty.
"Well, if you're still angry, you can hit or scold me as you please," Qiu Dafu said gently.
Seeing that Jiang Liu was getting up and trying to get out of bed, he pressed her back down onto the bed.
"But I'm hungry. You wait here, I'll go."
"Just eat something hot." Jiang Liu felt sorry for Qiu Dafu, who looked travel-worn, but when she looked up again, Qiu Dafu had already left the house.
...Qiu Yan's side,
The weather was a bit chilly in late autumn and early winter, but it did not hinder Qiu Yan's progress at all.
On her journey, Qiu Yan traveled almost day and night.
She rode her horse swiftly, making it difficult for Ling Ba, Xuan Ying, and Qin Susu to catch up.
Not to mention the people on horseback, even Gu Xiaoran and Zhu Juan, as well as Vera and Ap inside the carriage, were finding it hard to bear.
Gu Xiaoran had originally intended to stay on Qiu Yan's horse.
However, he was too young to handle it.
