Chapter 209 So Bold
When Chen Heng entered the palace, she saw the midwife holding a baby out for everyone to see. Meng Xuanlang just glanced at the child and was about to go into the palace to see his wife without even holding the baby, but was stopped by Madam Meng.
"The delivery room is filthy and unclean. Why are you going in there?"
"What are you afraid of? My wife is in there." Meng Xuanlang didn't care about these things. How could a place where a baby is born be unclean? This is a new birth.
Mrs. Meng held her son back and said, "Even if you're not afraid, you should still give Yun Zhao some face." Women don't want their husbands to see their miserable side when giving birth. This was the case when she gave birth to Meng Lang. She only wanted to show her best side to her husband.
Meng Xuanlang was completely confused, and Chen Heng didn't understand either.
Madam Meng pushed her son aside and pulled Shen Heng into the house to accompany her daughter-in-law.
The midwife and the maids brought out basins of dirty water, and several maids were making the bed.
Mrs. Peng lay weakly on the bed. Her face was not pale, but her hair was stuck to her face and she looked a little exhausted.
"Mother and daughter are safe." Chen Heng said happily, "She's a very cute girl. Yun Zhao, you're amazing. Go get some rest."
Peng nodded, and seeing her mother-in-law also look happy, she breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that if she could give birth to a grandson for the Meng family with her first child, that would be perfect, and a girl would be great too. As she fell asleep, she heard her husband say outside that he wanted to come in to see her, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
When Shen Heng came out, she saw Xie Jian had also come and was watching Meng Xuanlang clumsily holding his daughter. "Do you know how to hold her?"
"Of course I can." Meng Xuanlang gave him a stern look and said, "What does someone who hasn't even been a father know?"
Xie Jian: “…”
Wu Jin, who had just entered, heard this and tutted his tongue: "From what I hear, I know she's going to show off for a while. Let me see my little niece. Why is she so small?"
"Everyone is born small."
"Let me hug you."
That night, it was already late when Chen Heng and Xie Jian got home.
After washing up, Chen Heng was about to go to bed when she saw that there was only one quilt left on the bed. She looked at Xie Jian who was looking at the case file, said nothing, and went to bed.
Half an hour later, when Xie Jian got up, he looked at his wife who was already soundly sleeping, smiled slightly, lay down on the bed, hooked his long arms, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her forehead. He was now a family man.
After the Lantern Festival, the New Year atmosphere disappears and life returns to normal.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the full moon banquet for Peng's daughter.
Peng Xu, the eldest son of the Yuezhou Peng family, also rushed over with several of his brothers and sisters.
Chen Heng originally thought that she would never meet Liu Zhiyue again, but she didn't expect that she hadn't left the imperial capital yet and met her here. She also met her husband, Si Qi, the young master of the Si family. He was a twenty-year-old young man with average looks, about the same height as Xie Jian. He had an extraordinary demeanor, and his every move showed the dignity of a son of the Si family.
At this moment, he was talking to Meng Xuanlang and Peng.
"Zixuan, you're here?" Meng Xuanlang greeted Xie Jian upon seeing him, "Come and meet Brother Si."
Si Qi and Xie Jian's eyes met, and then quickly disappeared. The two of them glanced at each other as a greeting.
Liu Zhiyue on the side looked at Shen Heng in front of her with a faint smile: "Madam Shen, long time no see."
"Greetings, Madam Liu," Shen Heng said politely. Seeing Madam Meng carrying the little girl out, she asked Peng with a smile, "Have you chosen a name for her?"
