Chapter 364 Third Brother Seriously Injured
Nan Fengling raised her head slightly and took a sip.
After drinking it, she felt much more relaxed, and her previously tense heart instantly felt lighter.
Nan Fengling lowered his hand slightly and looked at Du Wanchun, saying, "Sister-in-law, A-Zhao seems to be alright..."
Du Wanchun gently brushed aside the sweat-dampened hair on her forehead and said softly, "Don't worry, Third Brother is a lucky man, he will definitely be alright."
Nan Fengling smiled and nodded.
To avoid disturbing Nan Fengling's rest, Aunt Zhou took the child out, leaving only Du Wanchun to take care of her.
Afterwards, he asked Granny Zhuang to cook brown sugar eggs and send them to Nan Fengling.
Du Wanchun fed Nan Fengling until she was full and asleep before leaving her room.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Madam Wu waiting at the door.
Madam Wu glanced inside and asked, "Wanchun, Nanfeng, how are you feeling?"
Du Wanchun replied with a smile, "Everything is fine, just take good care of yourself during your postpartum period."
Madam Wu also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down at her slightly protruding belly and smiled, "If I had been a few months earlier, I could have helped feed Sister Nanfeng's baby."
Du Wanchun took two steps closer, took her hand, and said, "Sister Wu, your identity is no longer that of a wet nurse."
Madam Wu sighed and said, "To be honest, I really miss the days when I was a wet nurse in the Zhou family. Although life was poor back then, it was also easy and carefree."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Brother Wei is an upright person. Even if you go to the Northern Barbarians in the future, your life will only get better and better."
Madam Wu suppressed her melancholy, "I hope so."
Du Wanchun took her hand and walked outside. "Alright, Lady Wu, let's not think about these things anymore. Let's not forget Xiao Mianmian's birthday today."
As she spoke, she walked toward the front yard.
When Du Wanchun arrived at the front yard, she saw Zhou Ruiyuan sitting on his lap with Xiao Mianmian on his lap, and then he lowered his head and patiently peeled melon seeds for her to eat.
He lowered his head, his slender hands patiently picking at the sunflower seed shells, his serious expression just like someone who used to study late into the night before an imperial examination.
Little Mianmian sat on his lap, her round eyes wide open and her mouth agape, waiting for her father to feed her.
"My lord, Mianmian," Du Wanchun called softly to the two of them.
Hearing the call, Xiao Mianmian quickly rolled off Zhou Ruiyuan's lap and ran towards Du Wanchun, calling out, "Mommy~"
Du Wanchun reached out and hugged her, holding her in his arms, and asked with a smile, "What good things is Father giving you to eat?"
Just then, Little Mianmian pulled out a small handful of shelled sunflower seeds from her bosom. "Mommy, you should try some too!"
Du Wanchun took a melon seed from her hand and gently touched her little nose. "Mother will only eat one, and Mianmian can eat the rest herself."
Little Mianmian tumbled off her like a little eel, then shared the melon seeds in her hand with Madam Wu and Granny Zhuang, who had just come from the kitchen.
The little baby skipped and hopped to the backyard, handing out sunflower seeds to everyone he met.
Du Wanchun and Wu Niangzi were amused by her cute appearance.
Zhou Ruiyuan wiped his hands with a handkerchief and secretly looked up at his wife's smiling face.
Before I knew it, I was completely absorbed in watching.
They were interrupted by Doctor Xu, who said, "Manager Du, Lord Zhou, my wife and I are going back to the estate first."
Du Wanchun walked up to him and said, "Dr. Xu, since you're already here, why don't you stay for dinner? It just so happens that today is the birthday of our three children."
Doctor Xu smiled, stroked his beard, and said, "It's quite a coincidence that Zhou Zhao and your child share the same birthday."
Du Wanchun turned around and poured him a cup of tea. "Yes, next year, the four little ones will celebrate their birthdays together."
Doctor Xu took the tea, his eyes narrowing into slits with a smile.
Zhou Ruiyuan came to his senses and thanked Doctor Xu. He then got up and went to his study to write a letter to Zhou Zhao at the border, informing him of Nan Fengling's childbirth that day.
Zhou Zhao, severely injured, lay unconscious on the bed.
His uncle searched several nearby villages before finally finding a decent doctor.
After examining the general, the doctor shook his head and said, "This general has lost too much blood; I'm afraid he won't live to see tomorrow morning."
Zhou Zhao lay on the bed, feeling completely weak. He regained consciousness briefly, looked up at the doctor, and found his vision blurred, unable to see anyone.
Finally, he closed his eyes and fainted again.
The younger uncle of the Zhou family was extremely anxious. "Doctor, is there really no way to save him?"
