Chapter 166 The Angry Princess and the Rough General 21
Chen Mengwan wanted to cultivate her relationship with Yu Niang, so she agreed to fly kites with her.
However, she was always concerned about the baby in her belly and did not join in the fun. Instead, she sat on a chair nearby and watched.
Yu Niang clumsily pulled the kite string and ran, but the kite just wouldn't fly no matter what she did.
The maids around did not move, and no one came to help.
Yu Niang stood there with her head down and a sad look on her face.
Chen Mengwan felt that the servants in the Song Mansion were clueless and extremely stupid. If she were to be the housekeeper in the future, she would definitely replace all of them and find some smart and capable people to do the jobs.
"Yu Niang, can I teach you?" Chen Mengwan asked in a soft voice.
In the past, she and Yuan Yao loved to play, and they figured out a set of techniques that allowed them to fly kites high and far.
Yu Niang's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands in approval.
Chen Mengwan slowly stood up and walked over to her to give her some pointers.
Yu Niang's kite flew up quickly, and the clear and childish laughter could be heard again in the yard.
What an innocent and lovely child.
Chen Mengwan had a gentle and expectant smile on her lips as she stroked her belly, hoping that the baby in her belly would be as smart and cute as Yu Niang.
She thought about the future with a sweet heart and turned back to the chair.
The smile on Yu Niang's face gradually faded, and she ran while pulling the kite string, rushing towards Chen Mengwan who had her back to her and was unprepared.
"ah--"
Chen Mengwan let out a short scream and her stomach hit the edge of the chair hard.
Yu Niang also fell into a pile of flower pots nearby, with blood flowing from her forehead.
Screams and cries instantly filled the entire backyard of the Song Mansion.
When Song Heng got the news and rushed back, Chen Mengwan's baby was already gone.
She lay on the bed, wailing, covering her face with a handkerchief, and weeping bitterly.
Song Heng felt very uncomfortable.
After all, this is his first child with his beloved.
During this time, he prepared abortion pills, but he kept hesitating and not making a decision because he couldn't bear to give up the child.
Unexpectedly, it was lost in an accident in the end.
Chen Mengwan was extremely sad and didn't know how to vent her anger, so she grabbed Song Heng's hand tightly, almost pinching it to bleed: "Did Yu Niang do this on purpose? Did she deliberately want to harm our child?"
Song Heng thought it was ridiculous and looked at her in disbelief: "Do you know what you are talking about? How could Yu Niang have such a vicious mind at such a young age? Moreover, she didn't even know you were pregnant!"
Only a few servants who took care of Chen Mengwan in the Song Mansion knew that she was pregnant. Song Heng ordered them not to make it public, otherwise they would be beaten to death and thrown into a mass grave.
Chen Mengwan also knew that her words were unwarranted anger.
But for some reason, she just felt something was wrong.
After losing her child, Chen Mengwan was depressed all day long.
Yu Niang was injured, and Old Madam Song was extremely distressed. She came over and made trouble for Chen Mengwan, leaving her physically and mentally exhausted.
Song Heng had been reprimanded repeatedly in the court recently, and he was extremely anxious and had no time to comfort her.
Chen Mengwan faced the empty room every day, crying while holding the tiger-head shoes she had embroidered for her child.
…
Not only Song Heng but also Shen Beizhan had an unhappy life in the court.
Ever since the news of her pregnancy spread, the emperor disliked him even more, always finding fault with his arrogant words and deeds in the past. Not only did he revoke his grace of riding a horse to meet the emperor in the palace, he even gave him a beating.
Fortunately, the prince intervened and reduced the punishment by half.
Shen Beizhan was beaten with a few sticks without feeling any pain or itching, and went home happily.
The grandmother we invited said that the tea ceremony will be launched in the next few days.
He must stay by my side and never leave my side.
Shen Beizhan walked very fast, and the eunuch who wanted to stop him and convey the emperor's summons could not catch up with him at all.
Eunuch: "...General Shen! The Emperor invites you..."
Not sure if it was an illusion, but the eunuch felt that the figure was walking faster.
When he left the palace, the servant from the general's mansion came up to him anxiously, "General, the princess is giving birth!"
The smile on Shen Beizhan's face disappeared immediately, and the master and servant quickly mounted their horses and rushed home.
Even through a door, Shen Beizhan could hear Cha Jiu's cries of pain inside.
"It's been several hours, why hasn't the baby been born yet?" He paced back and forth, very anxious.
If we delay for a moment longer, won't Yuan be in more pain?
Ah Yuan is so delicate, how can I bear this?
These two idiots! Why don't they come out? They don't feel sorry for their mother at all!
Manager Zhang soothed him, "General, please be patient. Giving birth is not like buying a melon. How can it happen so quickly? When my eldest son was born, she waited a whole day and night."
"One day and one night!" Shen Beizhan widened his eyes and became even more anxious.
During this time, someone came from the palace to summon Shen Beizhan to come in, but he was forcibly detained to drink tea.
The eunuch was angry: "General, are you trying to disobey my order?"
Shen Beizhan laughed in anger, and his forced smile was very creepy: "The princess is giving birth, and her life is hanging by a thread. If I abandon her and follow you into the palace, what kind of general or court official would I be? I am not even worthy of being a human being!"
What else could the emperor have summoned him for?
Isn't it just to say some sweet words to comfort him after the beating he had in the morning?
He's used to using tricks, one slap and one date.
In the past, Shen Beizhan had time to act with him, but now that Cha Jiu had given birth, even if the emperor himself came, he couldn't move him to leave the door of the delivery room!
Fortunately, after another half an hour, the loud cry of a child was finally heard in the room.
Two midwives came out, each holding a child, and said happily, "Congratulations, Your Highness, congratulations, General, it's a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, and the girl came out first."
Sister and brother.
My sister seemed to be a calm person. She cried gracefully and fell asleep peacefully after a while.
But my younger brother was crying so hard that the roof was about to collapse. He was crying with full force and his fists were clenched red and tightly.
Shen Beizhan looked at his brother's clearly visible throat and quickly told his mother-in-law: "Hold him away and don't disturb His Highness's rest."
Wen Po: "...Okay, General."
Shen Beizhan stepped into the room where the smell of blood had not yet dissipated, came to Cha Jiu's side, and was relieved to see that her face was still rosy.
Cha Jiu: "Have you seen the child?"
Shen Beizhan: "I saw it. No wonder you always feel tired when you are pregnant. Having a child makes you noisy."
Whoever tells it knows.
The crying of the child in the next room became louder.
Cha Jiu was amused by him, and the fatigue in her body also dissipated a little: "You should hurry to the palace, otherwise the emperor will find another reason to punish you."
She knew that Shen Beizhan had a hard time in the court during this period.
Shen Beizhan didn't care: "If the emperor wants to find a reason to punish me, I can't avoid it no matter what. I accompanied you to give birth today and misunderstood the emperor's order. This is because of friendship. Even if the emperor wants to punish me, he can't punish me too heavily, otherwise it won't stop the people in the world from talking."
Seeing that Cha Jiu was still worried, Shen Beizhan's tone softened: "Don't worry, I know my limits. You can sleep peacefully while I go to the palace."
Cha Jiu nodded.
Although she had let the system block out the pain in her body, she still felt tired.
After a while, she fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Beizhan tucked the quilt carefully for her and gently pushed the wet hair on her cheek aside.
"Sleep well, Yuan. I will protect you and the children."
He placed a kiss on Cha Jiu's forehead.
