It gets dark very quickly in winter. Living conditions in Baituo Town are good, so everyone is willing to keep the oil lamps lit a little longer.
At this time, the lights in the Fang Mansion were on, and the maids serving in the young lady's yard were running back and forth.
In the room, Xing Feiyan was giving birth. The pain was excruciating, her sweaty hair drooped around her neck. She grabbed the maid's hand and asked, "Is my father here? Is Xing Lie here?"
Before the maidservant who was waiting for her delivery could say anything, she was pushed away by the midwife. What appeared before Xing Feiyan was the old face of the midwife: "Oh, Madam, please save your strength. You still need to give birth soon. Let's not discuss these irrelevant things for now!"
Xing Feiyan, Xing Changyuan, and Xing Lie glared at the midwife with eyes as creepy as hers, and reluctantly slapped her in the face. "My father and brother, has anyone informed them?"
"If you don't tell me and delay my delivery, my father and brothers will skin your whole family alive!" Xing Feiyan still had some brains. She would not make meaningless begs, but would tie other people's interests to her own.
Now the midwife didn't dare to act rashly. The woman in front of her was not an ordinary peasant woman giving birth. She was the apple of the eye of General Xing of Huangmoguan. If she said something harsh, she would definitely do it.
The midwife immediately and respectfully consoled her, "Young Madam, please rest assured. We sent someone to inform General Xing the moment your water broke. He should be on his way now."
Xing Feiyan finally let herself lie free on the bed. Perhaps only when she is at the gates of hell will she think of the people closest to her.
When a woman gives birth to a child, she steps into the gates of hell. At this moment, what she thinks of is not her husband, but her biological father and Xing Lie, her only blood relatives in the world.
When she heard the servant's response, her heart finally settled down, and the pain in her stomach made her cry out in pain.
In the side yard outside stood Old Madam Fang, pacing non-stop, and from time to time she asked her trusted maid, "Is she here? Is she here?"
The trusted maid also had an unhappy expression on her face, and she kept looking around in the dark alley: "Not yet!"
Madam Fang became even more anxious, clasping her hands tightly. Sweat broke out all over her back in the cold weather, and she kept muttering, "Didn't I give her the medicine to induce labor? Why hasn't she come yet?"
The trusted maidservant said, "Old Madam, the young mistress is pregnant at the right time, but Aunt Shuxue is doing it on purpose. She's still about a month away from giving birth, so the effect of inducing labor is naturally not that great!"
"If she gave birth to a little hoof, what use would our Fang family have to her? It would be better for her to be drowned early!"
"Madam, please be careful with your words!" The trusted maidservant became worried again.
Madam Fang said impatiently, "Alright, alright, there are only you and me here. Everyone in the mansion is busy chasing after my wonderful daughter-in-law. Who would pay attention to us? Besides, the people around Feiyan are all my son's people. They will definitely not betray me."
At this moment, a figure carrying a bamboo basket quickly approached here. The maid's eyes lit up and she shouted excitedly: "Old lady, here she comes!"
Madam Fang's eyes lit up: "Here it comes!"
The visitor walked accurately to the side yard where Old Madam Fang and her trusted maid were hiding, lifted the black cloth covering their faces, and revealed the face of Fang Pingshan.
Old Madam Fang was not surprised at all. She looked expectantly at the bamboo basket her son brought back and asked, "Is the baby born?"
Fang Pingshan lifted the bamboo basket carefully. Inside was a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. The baby looked a little thin and was fast asleep.
"Is the child okay?" Mrs. Fang asked again.
Fang Pingshan nodded. "The labor-inducing drug was quite potent, and Shuxue suffered quite a bit. Fortunately, the child is fine. I've already had the old doctor examine him."
Madam Fang took two steps back and covered her chest: "That's good, that's good!"
After saying that, she remembered something and immediately stood up and pushed her son to the front yard: "Hurry, hurry, hurry, go quickly, I just asked someone to go to the delivery room to ask the midwife, and she estimates that she will be there soon."
"good!"
It would be a lie to say Fang Pingshan wasn't nervous at the moment. He was too nervous. The excessive nervousness made his stomach churn and he felt like vomiting.
But for the sake of himself and his beloved's child, he knew that this step could not tolerate any mistakes, so he chose to do it himself.
Feiyan was pregnant with a daughter, and a daughter would bring too many disadvantages to him. What he needed was not a daughter to serve as a decoration for marriage, but a son who could make Xing Feiyan support him more.
Fortunately, the Fang family are all his people, so he has enough time to make this plan perfect. Xing Lie and Xing Changyuan are still on the way. The time, place and people are all right, and even God is helping him.
He carried a bamboo basket and walked to the front yard. There were many people in the yard, all busy delivering Xing Feiyan's baby.
Looking at the child in the bamboo basket, his eyes were filled with heartache: "Bao'er, Dad has no choice. In order to change his fate, he must do this. There is a difference between a legitimate son and a bastard's son."
Especially the grandson of the Xing family, his status is even more different.
At this time, it suddenly started to rain heavily, and soon developed into a drizzle. Fang Pingshan felt that even the sky was helping him, and this rain could delay the arrival of Xing Lie and his son.
Lin Rui stayed at home for three days before reporting for duty. Han Wenjing, Xu Shaoxuan and others were all congratulating him on his escape from death. The young general who brought him back was promoted for his outstanding performance in completing the mission.
He remembered the little girl who insisted on leaving his home and following the major general. Before leaving, the little girl wanted him to give her a name. He also asked her original name. After learning that her dim eyes told her that her grandmother called her a money-losing commodity, he felt that he really deserved to die. He was not good at naming, so he thought for a long time before coming up with the name Lin Xiaodie.
Lin is his surname, and Xiaodie hopes that this little girl can break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly in the future. The little girl repeated her name with bright eyes: Lin Xiaodie, Lin Xiaodie, my name is Lin Xiaodie!
Her joyful look was enough to show how much she loved the name.
Lin Rui asked Han Wenjing: "How did you take care of the little girl you brought back that day?"
Han Wenjing smiled and nodded, saying, "The little girl has a strong temper. She also wants to learn martial arts, to be able to protect herself, to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy, and even wants to go to Yishu Pass to kill all her family members who betrayed her and the man-eating beasts. This murderous intention is really uncontrollable. The young general intends to train her to be a good swordsman. Where should she practice now?"
"Is that so..." Everyone has their own path they want to take, some pursue stability, some want excitement. The path chosen by Lin Xiaodie seems to be the most difficult, but in fact it is the most refreshing. After learning martial arts, she will no longer be a person who can be bullied in the future.
After looking around the camp and not seeing the Major General, Lin Rui asked, "Is the Major General not here today?"
"At noon, news came from Baituo Town that the eldest daughter was about to give birth. He and the old general immediately set off there. They estimated that they would arrive there late at night."
