Chapter 139 Postpartum Confinement
What happened outside was none of Xie Yunyu's business; she just stayed home to recover after giving birth.
Xiao Ling requested another month's leave from the Ministry of Personnel and stayed home with them every day.
Xie Yunyu felt quite happy as she looked at the increasingly fair-skinned child.
Xiao Ling preferred Yuan Xi and would tease her every time he came over.
I really like Yuan Xi because she is fair-skinned and has a strong body.
The twins are of different strengths; Yuan Xi is strong, while Yuan Zheng is weak.
However, Xiao Ling was not worried at all, as both father and son were born with congenital weaknesses, a condition passed down through generations.
If Yuanzheng is raised the same way he was raised when he was a child, and with the same methods of conditioning, there will definitely be no problem.
The eldest princess also noticed that Xiao Yuanzheng ate less than her older sister and cried less loudly.
He looked just like Xiao Ling when he was a child, so the people who used to serve Xiao Ling were replaced by Yuan Zheng.
Xiao Ling went to Xiyun Temple again and brought back a book of secret methods for treating children, which he gave to Xie Yunyu.
Xie Yunyu then instructed people to take care of Yuanzheng according to this prescription.
Xie Yunyu used the palace's methods to recuperate, and the effects were immediate.
Twins require double postpartum care, and the nannies were very responsible in not letting her bathe or be exposed to drafts.
Xie Yunyu felt devastated at the thought of not being able to take a shower for two months.
Her hormone levels fluctuate greatly, and her emotions are not very stable.
Xiao Ling didn't dare to provoke her, so he just had people serve her well and take good care of her.
I often keep her company, telling her interesting things to cheer her up.
That day, as usual, Xiao Ling told Xie Yunyu about interesting things happening outside.
"Was it really that explosive?" Xie Yunyu asked in surprise.
Xiao Ling was telling Xie Yunyu about a bizarre case that the Jingzhao Prefecture had recently solved.
It is a story about a man who disguises himself as an embroiderer, infiltrates a large, secluded mansion, and has affairs with many young women.
But this time, the man disguised himself as an embroiderer and entered the mansion, where he caught the eye of the mansion's master.
The master wanted him to stay as a concubine, so he had no choice but to reveal his true identity.
The male homeowner liked him even more when he heard that he was a man.
But the good times didn't last long, and the master's wife also took a fancy to this fake embroiderer.
The couple got into a fight over the embroiderer.
In the end, the matter was reported to the Jingzhao Prefecture.
Xiao Ling nodded: "That's how explosive it is."
I initially only heard about it from others, but later I specifically looked at the case files to tell you about it.
The case file provides more details.
Xie Yunyu clicked her tongue in amazement upon hearing this.
“This man must be born with feminine features, otherwise he could have blended into the ranks of embroiderers for so long without being discovered.”
Xiao Ling nodded.
"So what was the final verdict?" Xie Yunyu asked.
"That's why we can't reach an agreement. But..."
"But what?" Xie Yunyu pressed.
"However, the Jingzhao Prefecture asked him to reveal which young ladies in the inner quarters he had previously harmed, but he swore he would rather die than say."
He even refuted the Prefect of the Capital in court, saying that doing so would be detrimental to the reputation of those young ladies.
Therefore, the Jingzhao Prefecture wanted to sentence him severely, declaring him exiled three thousand li.
Xie Yunyu frowned upon hearing this and commented, "This Prefect of Jingzhao is rather muddle-headed."
The plaintiffs are the couple, and the dispute arose over the ownership of the fake embroiderer.
The fake embroiderer was a victim of their marital dispute.
If a sentence is to be handed down, it should be a lenient one.
If we're talking about his previous affairs with those young women, well, it was all consensual, and the authorities wouldn't investigate unless someone complained.
Why is the Jingzhao Prefecture interfering with those young ladies?
"They must be really bored."
Xiao Ling nodded in agreement:
"The reason this case hasn't been decided is because the Prefect of the Capital Prefecture wants to impose a heavy sentence."
However, some people agree with your view that the sentence should be lenient.
Therefore, there has been considerable discussion in the market.
Xie Yunyu then said, "This Prefect of Jingzhao... sigh, about the matter of my family's Jiuzhou Pastry Shop last year."
I felt he wasn't very capable back then; he wasn't strict with his subordinates, and the entire Jingzhao Prefecture was like a sieve.
Xiao Ling smiled and said, "Madam, you are mistaken."
In this capital city filled with princes and nobles, one can be accommodating to all sides and offend no one.
His uncle saw that he was able to maintain a fair balance and keep the capital stable, so he appointed him as the Prefect of the Capital.
"Solving cases is something the Dali Temple excels at."
Xie Yunyu nodded after hearing this.
Xiao Ling helped Xie Yunyu up and walked around the room twice before letting her lie back down.
Time flies, it passes in the blink of an eye.
After her two-month postpartum period ended, Xie Yunyu took three or four showers at home, but still felt like she wasn't clean enough.
After her confinement period ended, Xie Yunyu's first action was to dress up beautifully and take a stroll around the mansion.
Finally, no one's watching over me anymore; I'm finally free...
These past two months have been incredibly difficult.
When Xiao Ling returned from his official duties, he saw that Xie Yunyu was happy and energetic, so he decided to take her out for a walk.
The two went to Tianxing Tower.
Xie Fu saw Xie Yunyu and stepped forward with a smile to greet her.
"Greetings, Miss. It seems you are in good health and everything is fine."
Xie Yunyu smiled and said, "Yes, I'm fine."
Then he asked, "Is anyone home today?"
Xie Fu smiled and said, "Second Master is here."
"Where's my second brother? Where is he?"
Xie Yunyu hadn't seen Xie Yunman for two or three months.
"Room No. 2, Earth".
Xie Fu replied with a smile.
Xie Yunyu was very happy and pulled Xiao Ling towards room number two.
Xiao Ling had no desire to see Xie Yunman; the two had seen each other frequently in court and were tired of it.
But seeing that Xie Yunyu was happy, he went along with her.
Xie Yunyu pushed open the door and found Xie Yunman and Xue Weiyang, dressed as a man, sitting and eating.
Did I interrupt your date?
Xie Yunyu leaned against the door, looking at the two with a half-smile.
Upon seeing Xie Yunyu, Xue Weiyang stood up happily:
"Yu'er, what brings you here? Are you out of confinement?"
He then stepped forward, took Xie Yunyu's hand, and led her inside.
As for Xiao Ling behind Xie Yunyu, Xue Weiyang acted as if she didn't see him at all.
Ever since Xie Yunman saw Xie Yunyu, he has been staring at her intently, looking her up and down.
She looked much the same as before, except that she appeared a bit plumper.
His complexion and overall energy look quite good.
Only then did he feel relieved, and looking at Xiao Ling at the door, he stood up and bowed:
"Greetings, Your Highness."
No need for formalities.
Xiao Ling waved and came in.
"It's getting late, and the dew is about to get heavier. Why did you bring her out?"
Xie Yunman's expression changed instantly as she asked Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling was already used to Xie Yunman's inconsistent attitude towards him.
He calmly explained, "She hasn't been able to leave the mansion for the past two months; she's been cooped up for so long."
After I finished my duties at the yamen, I thought I'd take her to Tianxing Tower for a stroll.
Upon hearing this and seeing Xie Yunyu's very happy smile, Xie Yunman stopped causing trouble for Xiao Ling.
"You don't look much different. Your face is rosy and you look healthy."
Xue Weiyang pulled Xie Yunyu up and down, and even reached out to touch her face and body a couple of times.
Xiao Ling's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Where should I touch?
Since being drugged on his wedding day and rendered impotent, Xiao Ling has lived a life of asceticism and abstinence.
After Xie Yunyu's belly grew bigger, his life became even more lonely.
After finally giving birth, the effects of the medication had almost worn off, and I was able to get back to normal.
However, Xie Yunyu was in her postpartum period, so he could only look at her but not eat her.
Xie Yunyu is finally out of confinement today, all dressed up nicely and softly. I haven't even had a chance to touch her yet, but you've already done it.
In particular, Xue Weiyang was dressed in men's clothing, looking very heroic.
No matter how Xiao Ling looked at it, he found it an eyesore.
