Xie Jian, who was guarding the door, suddenly heard his wife's painful moans, which were intermittent and he could tell that they were made by her biting something.
Xie Jian clenched his shaking hands, walked outside, looked at the bright moon above, knelt down, and said devoutly: "God, I have had a hard life since childhood. In order to seek revenge, I have done countless sinister and hurtful things. All of this is my fault, and has nothing to do with Ah Heng. If the gods want to blame, blame me and my children. If Ah Heng can be safe, I swear to heaven that I will be self-disciplined, have a righteous heart, advance in the way and be brave, so as to correct myself."
The servants waiting outside saw the master kneeling down and knelt on the ground as well.
At this moment, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came from the house.
When Shen Heng's stomach relaxed and she heard the baby crying, she fell asleep without even looking at the child.
However, she did not sleep well that time. She felt tired even in her dreams. The feeling of exhaustion and weakness kept lingering on her body, from head to toe, and was always in her consciousness.
She didn't know when she woke up and saw the familiar gauze curtain.
The room was dimly lit by candlelight and it was so quiet.
Shen Heng moved her fingers and found that her hands were tightly clenched. She turned her head and saw Xie Jian leaning over the bed. The candlelight was faintly reflected on his face. This handsome face, which used to have a fierce look, rarely showed a hint of relaxation today.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She had survived the ordeal of giving birth to a child. So, was it a daughter or a son? Just as Shen Heng was about to wake Xie Jian up, her eyes froze. She looked at Xie Jian's hair and thought she had seen it wrong.
A closer look revealed white hair, and quite a lot of it. When did it happen? Why hadn't she noticed it before?
Chen Heng couldn't believe it, so she pulled out her hand that he was holding and touched the white hair. The more she looked, the more obvious it became.
"Aheng." Xie Jian was awakened with an excited expression. It's good that she woke up, it's good that she woke up.
"You, why do you have white hair?"
Xie Jian took Ah Heng's hand and held it tightly, his voice filled with relief after a disaster: "Are you feeling unwell? How do you feel?"
"I'm asking you, why do you have white hair?"
"Not many, just a few." He discovered that he had white hair two years ago, so it was not surprising.
At this time, Xia came in with chicken soup. She was surprised to see Ah Heng crying. She exclaimed, "Why are you crying? You can't cry during confinement. It will damage your eyes. Ah Jian, what did you say?"
"Sister-in-law, why does Ajian have white hair?" Shen Heng asked with a sob.
Xia was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him. Her eyes gradually became moist. However, she didn't want her sister-in-law to be sad during her confinement, so she said, "Many people have white hair at a young age. Ah Heng, drink the chicken soup quickly to replenish your body."
"Don't cry, it's just a few white hairs." Xie Jian took the chicken soup from his sister-in-law and fed it to Ah Heng mouthful by mouthful.
"My heart aches." Suddenly, her heart ached terribly. She had never felt such pain before.
"You should feel sorry for yourself," Xia said. "You scared us. As a mother, have you forgotten that you just gave birth to a child? The child didn't even ask about it?"
"My child? Did I give birth to a boy or a girl?" Chen Heng asked while sobbing.
Xie Jian gently wiped the tears from Ah Heng's face: "You should ask whether it is a son or a daughter. It is a son."
"Son?" Xie Jian had always said he wanted a daughter. Chen Heng was a little disappointed, but also happy. As long as she was safe, she was fine. "I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"My son is good, my son is fine." Xie Jian said. He made a vow. If his daughter had to bear it, he would not have the heart to do so. If his son could not bear it, it would be because of his own weakness.
