Chapter 23 The Dead General Returns 5
After all, the madam was very generous. As long as they worked hard, the madam would reward them with silver, starting from at least two taels of silver. In just half a month, each of the personal maids had received at least forty or fifty taels of silver in rewards.
Sometimes they even thought that it would be wonderful if the old lady never got sick.
The old lady's biggest fear right now is that something might happen to Ning Yan's unborn child. Therefore, even if Ning Yan wants to do it herself, she won't allow it. She will send Ning Yan back to her room after she has stayed there for a while.
What else could Ning Yan do? Of course, she had to obediently listen to him.
In the middle of the night, Ning Yan's calf cramped up, and a pair of large hands immediately covered her calf and gently massaged it.
Ning Yan hummed comfortably, rolled over, and snuggled into the man's arms.
The man took a deep breath; it had been a long time since he had...
He couldn't control himself after smelling her scent...
But he still couldn't bear to push her away; he lowered his head and kissed the woman's forehead.
Ning Yan looked up and took the initiative to kiss the man's thin lips, a deep kiss indeed.
"Yan'er, I... I feel so bad, please help me."
The large hand grasped Ning Yan's small hand and reached down...
Half an hour later, water was called from the room. Granny Zeng really wanted to throw the man out. The lady was nearly seven months pregnant, how could she serve the emperor?
But what could she do? That man was her true master, the current emperor, and she dared not say anything.
After washing her up, Yuan Jingchen carefully asked Ning Yan, "Are you feeling unwell? Is your stomach upset?"
This little woman is so bold! He only wanted to have a little fun, but she went all the way!
He could only serve her with utmost care and gentleness until she was satisfied before he dared to release himself, but he had to admit that he also enjoyed it.
And it is beyond words.
I've never been with a pregnant woman before...
This is the first time. If he had known, he wouldn't have pretended to be so profound before.
Ning Yan shook her head; she was fine.
"Sweetie, go to sleep. You have to attend court early tomorrow."
The woman spoke with her eyes closed, so she naturally didn't see the extremely bright smile on Yuan Jingchen's face!
She told him to be good, she cared about him!
"Okay, I'll go to sleep now."
The next day, while it was still dark, His Majesty the Emperor carefully got out of bed, afraid of disturbing the woman in bed. After dressing himself, he leaned down and kissed the little woman on the cheek before tiptoeing away.
In the following days, the emperor came even more frequently, almost every other day. Ning Yan suspected that, given the current situation, Cheng Shaowu would discover their affair as soon as he returned to his residence.
Hmm, why am I suddenly feeling a bit excited?
Two days later, Su Yang returned. "Miss, I not only broke that man's legs and gave him a drug that would prevent him from having children, but I also brought back all the things on him that could prove his identity. I even waited for a while to make sure he was really rescued and woke up before I came back."
Ning Yan: "What was his reaction after he woke up?"
“It seems the general has lost his memory,” Su Yang said carefully before answering.
Why "seems like"?
Su Yang said, "The general is injured in the lungs and internal organs, and I also injured my legs, but my head is not injured at all."
And the first thing he asked after waking up was where he was. The girl who saved him said he was in Xinghua Village, which he seemed to accept very easily. Only then did he ask, "Then who am I?"
Ning Yan: She said, amnesia isn't that easy to achieve.
Moreover, she had seen people with amnesia before. In the hospital, she often saw people who suffered from amnesia due to severe head bleeding in car accidents. These people only forgot some things, but still remembered some things, or they remembered them in a confused way. With reminders from their family members, they would slowly remember. It was very rare for someone to forget who they were.
The situation in the Northern Desert is not optimistic. It is estimated that Cheng is afraid of being beaten and wants to escape reality, also because he is afraid of taking responsibility.
Otherwise, how could it have been such a coincidence in his previous life that he returned to the capital less than two months after the war in the Northern Desert subsided, and even played the victim with the emperor to get a real post?
Since it's all an act, that makes things easier.
Before she knew it, it was Ning Yan's due date. Her deliveries usually went very smoothly, taking no more than two hours at most, and her body would quickly return to normal afterward.
Sure enough, she gave birth to a baby boy weighing over six pounds in just over half an hour after entering the delivery room.
The old lady, whose mouth was crooked and who could hardly speak, bestowed a whole bunch of good things upon Ning Yan, all of which were treasures she had previously hidden in her private treasury. But Ning Yan didn't care at all.
What good stuff hasn't she seen? She just puts it all away in her little storeroom and stores it away.
That evening, someone came again, looking at the child and grinning foolishly. "I've chosen a few tutors for him, all of them renowned scholars of our time. I'll give you the list later, so you can choose carefully."
Ning Yan chuckled, "You really are his father! He was just born today!"
Yuan Jingchen: "It's better to be prepared. After we've made our selections, I'll send people to monitor their words and actions for three years. If there are no problems, then we can let our children use them."
When Cheng Shaowu had his accident, he wanted to use Cheng Shaowu's death in battle to give him a marquis title so that their son could also have a title in the future, but Ning Yan refused.
"The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion has no heir yet. Why not wait until the child is born and let the child inherit the mansion?"
Does Cheng Shaowu even deserve to be granted a marquisate? He's dreaming!
Therefore, at Chengxun's full moon celebration, the Emperor issued an imperial edict, making the little guy the new Duke of Zhenguo!
This is unheard of!
However, it is also reasonable.
The little guy's maternal family had guarded the borders of the Great Jin Dynasty for generations, and in the end, only Ning Yan was left as their sole heir. Since she was a woman, she could not inherit the title, so it was reasonable for the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to be passed on to Ning Yan's son.
Furthermore, given that his own father also died in the war against the Northern Desert, people can understand why.
Moreover, everyone in the world praises the Emperor's benevolence!
The military officers, in particular, were moved to tears: it turned out that the emperor still remembered the merits of these old ministers, and they felt that they could still dedicate another hundred years to the Great Jin Dynasty!
The little guy has suddenly become the person with the highest status in the family!
Madam Cheng: The Emperor is utterly inhuman! My only son in the Cheng family has changed his surname! My son, I'm so sorry!
Three years later, the war, which had lasted for nearly four years, finally came to an end. The general led his troops back to the capital, and the meritorious soldiers were rewarded according to their merits.
Two months later, Cheng Shaowu returned with his woman and two children.
Outside the General's Mansion, Ning Yan listened to Cheng Shaowu babbling on and on, "This is Bai Rong'er, my savior. Without her, I would have died long ago. Madam, I plan to go to the palace to ask the Emperor to make her his secondary wife."
These two children are twins she gave birth to for me. From now on, they will be adopted by you, and you will be their mother.
Rong'er is kind-hearted and doesn't compete or fight for anything. Her existence won't affect you in the slightest, so please don't overthink it.
