Chen Qiu walked back and forth on the ground for an hour before the little guy in her belly calmed down.
Afterwards, Lan Yu took Chen Qiu's pulse again. After he finished, he let out a long sigh. Chen Qiu asked, "What's wrong?"
Lan Yu then said, "The baby's sudden strong fetal movement may be due to excitement, but it may also be asking for help."
Chen Qiu cried out, "Ah!" and then suddenly grabbed Lan Yu's arm and said, "My child is in trouble? How is he?"
Ye Chen put his arm around Chen Qiu's shoulders and said, "Look, Lan Yu just breathed a sigh of relief, which means everything is fine. Don't worry, it's okay." However, Ye Chen still unconsciously held Chen Qiu's shoulders tightly.
Lan Yu hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I just took the child's pulse. The child is fine and his pulse is stable."
"If something was wrong, his pulse would be very weak now. So don't worry."
Only then did Shen Qiu calm down and reached out to hold Ye Chen's hand.
Ye Chen said: "From now on, I will trouble you to take care of her in Qiuchen Courtyard. I will not go out anymore and will always be with her."
Lan Yu looked at Chen Qiu, nodded and said, "Xiao Qiu is my friend and I won't ignore her. I promised you to keep her safe, and I won't break my promise."
By the time they all went to bed, it was already the end of the Yin hour. Since they didn't have to go to Rongwei Hall, they slept until they woke up naturally.
When the two woke up, it was almost noon. The servants were still cleaning outside. It seemed that the snow fell very thick last night. They could faintly hear the playful sounds of little girls. This was the first snow of this winter, and it sounded like they were having a snowball fight.
After getting up, Shen Qiu touched her belly, and the little guy responded to her. Shen Qiu smiled and pulled Ye Chen's hand to put it on her belly: "This is Daddy. When you come out, Daddy and Mommy will play snowballs with you, okay?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "This guy probably had a grudge against me in his previous life"
Chen Qiu said hurriedly: "Don't say that, people say that children are a debt, but I think children are the fruit of the love between husband and wife, and they are also the hope of parents."
"Husband, he is our child. You were busy during that time and had little time to talk to him. Talk to him more in the future, and he won't reject you anymore."
Ye Chen touched Chen Qiu's belly, and then said solemnly: "Daddy will talk to you more in the future, and will not ignore you when talking to Mom, okay? Give Daddy a chance?"
Chen Qiu also said: "Daddy always keeps his word, baby, give daddy a chance?"
After a while, the little foot stared at Ye Chen's hand. Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and smiled. It turned out that the fetus was so smart.
After lunch, Ye Chen supported Chen Qiu and walked to Rongwei Hall.
As soon as they entered Rongwei Hall, Madam Xiao came to greet them and asked angrily, "It's so slippery out here, how did you get here? What if you fall?"
Chen Qiu said, "We walked very slowly, and we had people clear the road from Qiuchen Courtyard to Rongwei Hall. Don't worry, Grandma."
"My husband said he came to discuss the matter of the midwife with my grandmother, so I followed him."
After Shen Qiu sat down, Ye Chen sat next to Shen Qiu.
When Madam Xiao heard that they were here for this matter, she smiled and said, "I've already made arrangements. I've taken the midwives to Rongwei Hall. I was afraid you'd get nervous watching them all day, so I didn't send them to Qiuchen Court."
Ye Chen said: "I don't even know when you arranged this."
The old Duke can now walk quite well, though he still needs a cane. He came out from the inner room with a smile and said, "Your grandmother started working on this when Qiu'er was three months old, and the midwife only brought her back a few days ago."
Ye Chen said: "Grandma still has to worry about me. I am really an incompetent husband."
Madam Xiao said, "I know you're busy. Things have been happening in Kyoto one after another recently. Xiaoqiu is my granddaughter-in-law. If I don't help you, who will?"
The old Duke said: "Yes, we are a family. You are fighting in the court. Although we are old, we can still help Xiaoqiu and let you have no worries."
Chen Qiu held Ye Chen's hand and said, "We are a family, my husband, don't feel burdened."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, I know, don't worry, Qiu'er."
Then he added, "I wonder if Grandmother has also hired a wet nurse?"
Lady Xiao said, "Yes, I have. At one of my farms, the head of the farm has a daughter who is in confinement for the first month of the year. When Qiu'er's baby is born, she will be out of confinement at the same time."
Ye Chen said: "We still need to prepare a few more."
Madam Xiao said, "I know. I've already found three. I'll bring them back to the mansion after the New Year to keep them ready."
For a period of time afterwards, Ye Chen really did not go out again, not even to the study. Even when Black Hawk came to report something to him every day, it was always in the small study in Qiuchen Courtyard.
Every day, I would help Chen Qiu organize the children's clothes and play chess and talk with her.
However, Ye Chen's favorite thing to do is to draw portraits for Shen Qiu. He has drawn all kinds of Shen Qiu. From the time they got married until now, others may have forgotten the changes in Shen Qiu's belly, but Ye Chen remembers it because he draws a picture for Shen Qiu almost every few days and even compiles it into a picture album.
Chen Qiu would walk around the mansion every day. She was a martial artist, but now she couldn't use a sword or knife, and Lan Yu wouldn't let her do it either, so she could only walk around the Duke's Mansion in circles.
Now Ye Chen accompanies her every day and walks with her every day, but after a circle, Ye Chen doesn't want to walk anymore.
Chen Qiu said, "My husband, you have to walk with me more often."
Ye Chen responded with "hmm", but his steps became slower and slower.
After returning, Black Hawk was waiting in Qiuchen Courtyard, and Ye Chen and Black Hawk entered the study.
Ye Chen said: "How is it? Has it started to move?"
Black Hawk shook his head and said, "No, there is no movement at all."
Ye Chen said: "Don't worry, he will make a move, in the next few days. If Lord Chen doesn't make a move, Yan Qinglian will make a move. But if Yan Qinglian makes a move first, we will be somewhat passive. He should be able to see it."
Black Hawk said, "I don't understand why Master Chen has to do this. Can't we find someone else?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Master Chen has been with Yan Qinglian the longest and knows him best. Only when he knows him well enough can he strike the most deadly blow."
"Yan Qinglian has his own concerns about not moving. What we need to do is force him to move. Only Chen Qingyun is suitable for this task."
Black Hawk didn't ask any more questions and went out. Seeing Black Hawk gone, Ye Chen suddenly collapsed on the desk and said, "Qiu'er, Qiu'er, my husband's leg is broken."
He was really too tired. Every day when he went out, he just went from Qiuchen Courtyard to the gate and then got on the carriage.
The Duke's Mansion covers an area of more than 90 acres. It is really tiring to walk around it once, but Chen Qiu never complains of being tired after walking around it twice a day, which makes Ye Chen very frustrated.
Ye Chen was lying like this when Chen Qiu came in. Chen Qiu was holding a plate in his hand and came in without knocking.
Ye Chen knew it was Chen Qiu, and immediately stood up. Seeing that Chen Qiu was holding a plate, he went over to take it.
Chen Qiu said, "Husband, does your leg hurt?"
Ye Chen's eyes widened as he asked, "How did Qiu'er know?"
Chen Qiu said, "You've never walked far before, so you must be tired after this trip."
Ye Chen squatted at Shen Qiu's feet, put his head on Shen Qiu's legs and said, "Qiu'er, don't worry, I will persevere, and it won't hurt anymore."
