After settling the babies in the nursery, Aunt Zhao and the postpartum nanny stayed to take care of them.
Shen Zhi Qiu bent down slightly, wanting to hold the baby, but Aunt Zhao quickly stepped forward and picked up the baby, anxiously reminding her, "Miss, you'd better not hold the baby, or your back will hurt later. If you want to see the baby, just let us know, and we'll hold him."
Lu Jia also bent down and picked up the other baby so that Shen Zhi Qiu could see the baby.
Shen Zhi Qiu gently touched the babies' chubby little hands and tenderly rubbed their chubby little feet, slowly coaxing them to sleep before finally feeling relieved.
After checking on the child, Lu Jia helped Shen Zhi Qiu walk towards the living room.
"By the way, weren't you planning to hire that nutritionist from the postpartum care center to help Zhi Qiu recover?"
Rong Hong looked at Shen Zhi Qiu, whose face was rosy, and nodded in satisfaction. But after looking around, he didn't see Yan Yan. So he casually asked Rong Mo.
"Mrs. Chen from the postpartum care center doesn't want to let her go, saying that if Yan Yan leaves, she won't be able to handle everything. After all, she's the most popular nutritionist at the center," Rong Mo smiled, somewhat helplessly. "So I can't force her, but I've already told her that Yan Yan can work part-time here."
"That's fine too. As long as Zhi Qiu is dressed well, it doesn't matter what." Rong Hong nodded, looking serious.
"Dad, it's alright. Don't worry about me." Shen Zhi Qiu felt much more comfortable after returning home, and as she walked back and forth, the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
After saying that, Shen Zhi Qiu slowly sat down, holding onto the armrest, and Lu Jia then turned and walked towards the kitchen.
After brewing the rose tea, Lu Jia came out with a smile, carrying the teapot. Seeing that Shen Zhi Qiu was about to drink the mineral water on the table, she quickly stopped her, saying, "Zhi Qiu, wait a minute, drink something hot. You mustn't be tempted by something cold right now."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace, placed the teapot on the table, poured her a cup of hot rose tea, and placed it beside Shen Zhi Qiu.
Shen Zhi Qiu smiled slightly and said softly, "You're back from the postpartum care center now, you don't need to be so careful anymore. I feel like I've fully recovered."
“You still need to be careful.” Lu Jia was unusually serious and patiently advised, “Keep it warm for as long as you can. It’s not a hassle anyway. Just tell me when you want hot water. I bought a kettle and put it in the kitchen. It can keep the water warm.”
If you want a drink, just tell me, and I'll go get it for you right away. I promise I won't make you walk an extra step.
Seeing Lu Jia's serious demeanor, Shen Zhi Qiu chuckled, picked up her rose tea, took a sip, and sweetly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. Whatever you say goes, alright?"
Rong Mo and Rong Hong exchanged glances, both seeing satisfaction in each other's eyes.
In the afternoon, Shen Zhi Qiu had just woken up from her nap and was groggily walking out of her room when she heard a series of arguments coming from the villa's entrance.
"Lu Jia, what's going on outside? Who's arguing?" Shen Zhi Qiu called out to Lu Jia's room as usual, but no one answered.
Shen Zhi Qiu knocked on the door, but no one answered, so she curiously pushed the door open.
Lu Jia was not inside.
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned, feeling something was off, so she called Lu Jia.
"Hey, Lu Jia, where have you been?"
"I'm buying you a small cake in the city. Why are you awake at this time? Wait for me, I'll be there soon." Lu Jia answered the phone, immediately becoming a little anxious. Shen Zhi Qiu usually woke up an hour later than this.
"It's alright, don't worry. I heard people arguing outside our door, I'll go check it out."
"Let Wei Qiao go see, don't go yourself. I'll be right back." For some reason, Lu Jia felt vaguely uneasy.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Jia immediately called Rong Mo and then sped home.
With a "crack," it seemed as if something had been smashed.
Less than two seconds later, there was another "smack".
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned, worried that the continuous noise would wake the sleeping baby, so she walked towards the door.
As soon as she opened the villa's door, Shen Zhi Qiu looked surprised.
Gu Ningning was standing in the open space in front of the villa, imperiously ordering the butler, Uncle Li, to make way so she could come in with two bodyguards.
Seeing Shen Zhi Qiu appear at the door, Gu Ningning raised an eyebrow, a flash of undisguised disgust crossing her eyes. She looked at Shen Zhi Qiu's face, a smirk playing on her lips, and said sarcastically, "Oh, Shen Zhi Qiu, you're still alive? I thought you'd have a difficult childbirth. Truly, a scourge lives on!"
"You're the one who's causing trouble! Watch your mouth! If you keep spouting nonsense like that, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
When Butler Li saw his young mistress being scolded, he was so angry that he grabbed a broom and prepared to rush up and beat Gu Ningning.
Shen Zhi Qiu felt uneasy. She quickly looked around and found that the bodyguards guarding the door and Wei Qiao and the others had disappeared. She immediately had a bad feeling.
Especially after seeing Gu Ningning's fierce gaze and the two bodyguards behind her, she quickly spoke up: "Uncle Li, let's talk this out. Put the broom down first."
Suppressing his anger, the butler turned around and quickly walked to Shen Zhi Qiu, saying in a low voice, "Miss, why did you come out? It's windy outside, please go inside and rest, don't disturb you."
"Where are Wei Qiao and the others?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked in a low voice.
"Someone was causing trouble at the intersection just now. He was drunk and even crashed into Wei Qiao and his group's car, so they went over to deal with it," Butler Li said quietly, but suddenly stopped, as if he felt the coincidence was too much, and his face immediately darkened.
As soon as she finished speaking, another car pulled up at the door. The door opened, and several burly bodyguards filed out and stood behind Gu Ningning.
"Go and arrest Shen Zhi Qiu right now!"
Seeing this, the butler shoved Shen Zhi Qiu inside and whispered, "Miss, something's wrong. Lock the door immediately. Don't open it! Call Wei Qiao, quick!"
Shen Zhi Qiu stumbled from Uncle Li's push, almost losing her balance, and her waist hit the handle of the cabinet in the entryway, causing her to wince in pain. But she didn't care at all and immediately locked the door from the inside.
Aunt Zhao had just come out of her room to wash some fruit in the kitchen when she suddenly saw Shen Zhi Qiu clutching her back in pain, unable to straighten up. She rushed over and anxiously called out, "Miss, what's wrong?"
Before Shen Zhi Qiu could recover and explain to Aunt Zhao, they heard a "thump" from outside the door.
