Chapter 2 A Treasure Trove in the Courtyard



Hearing the baby's loud cries, Ye Qingcheng's lips curled into a satisfied smile.

After about half an incense stick's time.

It seems that Ye Qingcheng has regained some of the energy she expended giving birth to.

She tore off a large piece of her clothes and used it to wrap the child.

Then she used scissors to cut two strips of cloth from her clothes.

Immediately afterwards.

She then used the two strips of cloth to tie the baby to herself.

After everything was done.

Ye Qingcheng struggled to her feet, then dragged her weary body out of the simple and empty house.

After leaving the house, Ye Qingcheng glanced around the courtyard and then sighed.

"It's truly remarkable that the original owner of this body was able to survive in such a harsh environment while pregnant."

Looking at the desolate, lifeless courtyard, Ye Qingcheng felt helpless.

After a while.

With heavy, labored steps, she followed the memories left to her by the original owner and walked to the kitchen.

At this moment, on the kitchen stove, there was a bowl of congee and a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables.

Ye Qingcheng looked at the porridge and wild vegetables on the stove and instantly became furious: "This is the original owner's three meals a day. It's so simple. This dog of a prince is really going too far."

The original owner of this body was married into the royal family by imperial decree, yet he was so heartless as to abandon her in a desolate courtyard and ignore her completely.

"You scoundrel, once I've recovered, I'll definitely settle the score with you on behalf of the original owner!"

Ye Qingcheng cursed angrily.

But having just given birth, she was very weak. In order to replenish her strength, she couldn't care less about anything else. She could only pick up the porridge on the stove and drink it down in one gulp. She also wolfed down all the wild vegetables.

After eating and drinking her fill, Ye Qingcheng let out a burp and rested in the kitchen for a while.

She then got up and went back to the simple, empty house, then opened her collar and began to breastfeed her child.

Looking at the tiny body in her arms, its little mouth suckling at her chest, Ye Qingcheng felt a surge of maternal love.

"Is this what it feels like to be a mom? It seems pretty good!"

Ye Qingcheng looked at the little one in her arms, a slight smile playing on her lips, and for some reason, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

After a while.

The little guy seemed to have finished eating and stopped sucking.

Seeing that the little guy seemed to have fallen asleep, Ye Qingcheng also closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep because she was too tired.

The night passed quickly.

The next morning.

A ray of morning sunlight shone through the window and into the room, passing through her eyes.

Ye Qingcheng sensed the light passing by. Her vigilance, honed from her experience as a special agent, made her suddenly open her eyes, her entire being instantly on high alert.

However, when she looked at this unfamiliar yet familiar environment, her tense mind relaxed.

I looked down and saw the little one in my arms.

At that moment, the little guy was also looking at her with his eyes wide open and as bright as stars.

Ye Qingcheng looked at the little guy, smiled slightly, and stretched out her delicate finger to tease the corner of the little guy's mouth.

"Little one, are you hungry?"

"Eeya..."

The little guy seemed to understand Ye Qingcheng's words and actually responded.

Pfft…

Ye Qingcheng chuckled upon hearing this: "So cute. Okay, Mommy will feed you now... Oh, no, we're in ancient times now, so I should call you Mother. Mother will feed you now."

After saying that, Ye Qingcheng pulled down her collar and began to breastfeed the little one.

While breastfeeding, Ye Qingcheng thought: This little one has just been born and doesn't have a big appetite yet, but it will probably grow bigger in a few days.

This body is severely malnourished, making it difficult to produce milk. It seems I need to quickly find a way to supplement its nutrition.

Thinking of this.

Ye Qingcheng glanced at the little one in her arms again and saw that the little one had fallen asleep again.

She got up and walked around the room.

Then they left the house and went into the courtyard.

Last night, because it was raining and dark, she didn't observe the compound carefully.

Looking at the courtyard again, she saw that although it was desolate, wild grass and vegetables were growing on their own.

Ye Qingcheng watched this scene and a smile appeared on her lips.

"This yard looks desolate, but it has arable land. That's great. With such land, even if we don't have money, we won't starve."

"But what if we can cultivate the land, yet have no seeds?"

Thinking about this...

Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled.

After a while.

She seemed to be thinking of something and walked to a place overgrown with wild grass and vegetables.

At this moment.

She suddenly became excited: "This...this is actually motherwort! I never expected that there would be such a good thing in this desolate courtyard. It's really amazing."

Ye Qingcheng squatted down and examined it carefully.

After a while.

About two meters away from her, a red plant caught her attention.

"Huh? What's that?"

Ye Qingcheng stood up, walked over, and then squatted down to carefully examine the red grass.

A moment later.

Ye Qingcheng was excited again: "Could this be... Fire Spirit Grass?"

Speaking of which...

Ye Qingcheng reached out and plucked a leaf, then placed it on the tip of her tongue to savor it.

"Wow, this really is Fire Spirit Grass! I'm rich, I'm rich! Hehehe! What kind of treasure trove is this abandoned courtyard of the Prince's Mansion? It can actually grow such a rare Fire Spirit Grass on its own."
