Chen Qiu looked at Ye Chen and said in a hoarse voice, "Husband, go ahead, I'm fine."
Ye Chen shook his head, "Qiu'er, please, I just want to be with you now, can you let me stay with you for a while longer?"
Chen Qiu nodded. "I'm sweating a lot. Can you wipe it off for me?"
Lan Yu took the baby from the midwife's hands and placed it next to Shen Qiu's head. The baby's skin was red, and its eyes were not yet open. There was a layer of white stuff on its head, and its head was pointed.
"He's so ugly!" Shen Qiu laughed with a sob.
"Newborn babies are like this. They will be fine in a few days. The baby is a little thin because he was born prematurely, but he is still quite tall." The midwife in charge of taking care of the child replied to Shen Qiu while washing her hands.
Chen Qiu turned his head and looked at Ye Chen, "Husband, look, the child is so small, his head seems to be no bigger than your fist."
Ye Chen clenched his fist and placed it next to the child's head to compare its size. "Really? It's not even as big as my fist. How can I raise it like this? How can it be so tiring in your mother's belly when it's so small?"
"well"
"What's wrong?"
"He is so small. I said I would beat him up when he comes out. How can I beat him now? It seems like he will break if I touch him." Chen Qiu was amused by Ye Chen and raised his hand to hit Ye Chen.
The two midwives smiled knowingly as they watched, while Lan Yu looked at them as if they were two fools.
By the time Chen Qiu was cleaned up, it was already dark outside.
Shen Yue had been waiting outside. He was worried about his sister. When he saw Lan Yu come out, he asked, "How is Qiu'er?"
Lan Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, the baby is just a little small, but he's healthy and the same size as a full-term baby."
"That's good, that's good." He came back to take care of his sister, but now he let her face the assassination alone and even used her true energy. He has been blaming himself.
"Xiao Qiu said she wanted to eat the egg custard you made for her. She was hungry." Lan Yu told Shen Qiu's words to Shen Yue.
Sure enough, Shen Yue cheered up immediately and said hurriedly, "Okay, I'll make it for her. Can she eat it after giving birth?"
Lan Yu nodded and said, "Just add some brown sugar, don't make too much." His sister really understood him. Although they had never met, she knew what he was thinking.
Mingyue and Muqing, Madam Xiao and the old Duke also arrived at this time, bringing three carriages.
Aunt Hua jumped down first and asked as soon as she came in, "How is Madam?"
Lan Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, mother and child are safe. You go in and look after her. She hasn't changed her clothes yet." Nanny Hua pushed the door open and went in, then immediately closed the door, fearing that a little wind would get in.
"How is the lady?" Mingyue jumped off the carriage and ran in, pulling Xing'er and asking. The old lady followed Mingyue and walked over with difficulty.
Nanny Sun wanted to come over to help her, "No need, hurry up and move the things in. Xiaoqiu doesn't know how much suffering she has endured."
"It's okay, the baby is out and didn't suffer too much." Xing'er looked at the room with red eyes. In the past, no matter what happened to Chen Qiu, she and Mingyue were always by his side, but today she was left to face so many killers alone. She didn't dare to think about what would have happened if they had come a little later. She saw Chen Qiu falling from the roof of the carriage. What would have happened if Chen Yue hadn't come quickly?
Mingyue looked at Xing'er and asked, "Was it dangerous at that time?"
Xing'er nodded, "When I came, the young lady used her true energy and fell from the top of the carriage with her head on the ground. Fortunately, the young master was quick enough to catch her." Xing'er used the word "young lady" instead of "Madam". In her and Mingyue's hearts, they never wanted to call Chen Qiu Madam. They felt that she was the young lady whom they grew up with and protected, not anyone's madam.
"I told you I must come with you. How could I not be with her?" Mingyue said as she was about to cry.
"No, I don't want this child anymore. I want to divorce Mu Qing. I don't want him anymore. I'll stay with our young lady."
Mu Qing helped to move the things off the carriage. They were all things needed for confinement. Since she gave birth here, she had to confine herself here. She couldn't be exposed to the wind after giving birth.
After hearing Mingyue's words, the thing in his hand fell to the ground. It turned out that his enemy was not a man, but a woman named Madam?
Xing'er was so angry that she laughed and punched Mingyue. "What nonsense are you talking about? You want the young lady to beat you to death, right? You don't want this child before he's even formed? When he's born, I'll tell him that he doesn't want you anymore, okay?"
"Mingyue is also worried about Xiaoqiu. Xiaoqiu treats you as sisters, so you treat her well in the same way. That's great!" Madam Xiao said with emotion.
Aunt Hua came out of the room and said, "Xing'er, find a set of middle-length clothes and help me change the lady's clothes."
"Old Madam, please take a rest first. Madam said she wants to sleep for a while. I will tell you when she wakes up. You can come over then?" Madam Hua turned around and saluted Madam Xiao.
Madam Xiao waved her hand, "Don't worry about me. I'll stay here with her. It won't hurt to take care of her for a while. The most important thing is to take good care of her."
"The nanny will be here soon. I'll arrange for her to live next door to mine. It's a little small here, so just make do with it for now. Have everyone keep their voices down so as not to disturb Xiaoqiu's rest."
After everything was arranged, Chen Qiu fell into a deep sleep. With Xing'er by Shen Qiu's side, Ye Chen felt at ease to get himself ready.
"Have you seen Xiaofu?" Liuyun came in and asked Mingyue and Muqing. He had been here for a while, but had not seen Xiaofu.
Mingyue shook her head. "No, I didn't see him when I came here. Let's go ask Xing'er."
The two of them came to Chen Qiu's house and knocked gently on the door. Xing'er opened the door and came out, "What's wrong?"
Liuyun asked hurriedly, "Where's Xiaofu? Didn't he come here with you?"
Xing'er then remembered Xiao Fulai, "I was busy boiling water, but she was still there when the little boy was born. I remember it very clearly."
"But now, I haven't found her even after searching everywhere." Liuyun was so anxious that he almost cried.
Xing'er suddenly remembered, "Go back to the mansion and see if he has returned. If he has, that's good. If not, I guess I'll need your help to find him."
Liuyun turned around and ran out, "Wait a moment, let Mu Qing accompany you, ride faster." Mingyue hurriedly called Liuyun.
Xiaofu was watching people coming and going when she suddenly heard a cry. It seemed like she had heard it somewhere before and it sounded very familiar.
What Xiaofu heard was the cry of a baby being born, and then there was no more. She got up to look for the sound and unknowingly walked out of the yard. When she came to her senses, she no longer recognized the things around her.
She only had the mindset of a child and was now lost. She didn't know where she was, but there were people everywhere. The fear buried in her heart came out. She looked around as she walked, and finally she just ran.
When she stopped again, she stopped in front of a yard.
