However, the young marquis, who was already extremely frightened at the moment, was so frightened that his eyes were red, and he didn't care about bloodshed or not. He pushed his mother Liu Min away like crazy, and suddenly rushed into the delivery room, scaring the midwives so much that their screams drowned out Su Nuannuan's screams due to labor pains.
"Don't be afraid, Nuannuan. I'm here to protect you. No one can bring you to any disaster."
The young marquis quickly strode to his wife's side, grabbed her hand and comforted her tenderly, but his sweaty wife forced a smile and murmured, "I'm not scared, who said I was scared? Besides, giving birth is like giving birth without bleeding. You want to block this blood, don't you want me to give birth to our son?"
The young marquis was speechless for a moment, but then he came to his senses: it was not that his wife was not afraid, she was just afraid of him, so she spoke deliberately to make him relax.
Thinking of this, the young marquis' heart was so warm that it almost melted. He sat at the head of the bed and looked at his wife's face. Her eyes, which were always clear and bright, were now slightly absent-minded because of exhaustion. Without thinking, he naturally put his face against his wife's face, just like the nights in the past when they were very intimate with each other and talked about private things.
"You'd better get out and don't scare the midwives. You can't help much anyway."
Su Nuannuan's gentle voice came to his ears. Madam Yang in the outer room was calling him out in a stern voice. Duan Tingxuan shook his head and said softly, "I was outside all day, and my heart felt like it was hanging in the air, with no place to go. I couldn't feel at ease until I saw you. Nuannuan, let me stay with you."
"You are simply unreasonable. A husband accompanying his wife in the delivery room during childbirth. Even if we cannot say that it will never happen again, it is definitely unprecedented, right?" Su Nuannuan murmured. Although it was a complaint, the grandmother's heart had already melted into a pool of spring water with happiness.
"There is true love in the world. I don't believe that there has never been a husband who has accompanied his wife in the delivery room. It's just that history books are unwilling to record it and the people are unwilling to spread it. From my mood today, you can know how painful it is. I have good self-control. Those men with poor self-control in the past must have also gone to the delivery room."
"You're making a false argument." Su Nuannuan cursed with a smile, but her spirit was soon taken away by the pain in her abdomen. She heard the slightly panicked voices of the midwives: "No... the head hasn't come out yet, push it back, push it back. The fetal position will be corrected soon... Madam, bear with it for a moment..."
"Whether the little one is a boy or a girl, he will definitely look like you. You are really capable of doing this."
Su Nuannuan sighed and relaxed her strength, but she heard her husband whisper, "Nonsense, how could I be so rough? It's obviously you, as a mother, who is lively, bold and innocent. The little guy is so rough because he is just like you."
"Hey... I'm in this state, and you still want to put the blame on me. Is that reasonable?"
"Didn't you say that? Always uphold the truth."
"Truth, you bastard. Is your truth so worthless? Be careful that the truth bites you."
"It's okay. I have thick skin. I'm not afraid of it biting me..."
I don't know if it was because the couple pretended to be relaxed and bickered with each other at this time that the midwives relaxed and worked more efficiently; or if Su Nuannuan's fighting spirit became higher and higher in the argument with her husband. In short, thank God, after the little marquis entered the delivery room, it was as if a noble person had really arrived and the evil spirits were driven away. In less than an hour, the little guy who made his mother feel more painful than her period finally got tired of the little space in her belly and came out happily.
The midwife lifted up the little guy and saw the little ball hanging between the baby's legs. She immediately smiled and turned around to go out to tell Madam Yang the good news. As expected, Madam Yang was very surprised. Liu Min naturally had to pretend to be happy on her face, but no one knew what she felt in her heart.
After handing the wrinkled monkey-like baby to the nurse, Madam Yang turned to the midwife and asked, "How is my daughter-in-law?"
The midwife smiled and said, "He's fine. He's with you now, and he's probably asleep. I'm not saying anything, but the young marquis really loves his wife. I've delivered babies for so many families, but I've never seen a husband who treats his wife so dearly. He even barged into a place like the delivery room. It's clear that he and the grandmother are deeply in love. We were really surprised at the time..."
How can this be a real compliment? It is clearly a complaint wrapped in a compliment, and the central idea is: Your son is too ignorant. Should he barge into a place like the delivery room? He scared us to death. You can give him the reward as you see fit, or at least a little tip for calming us down.
Madam Yang knew what was meant by this. Thinking of her son who looked like a fool, she could not help but grit her teeth. However, she could not teach her son a lesson in front of so many people. She could only maintain the dignity and kindness of a marquis' wife and said softly, "I know you have worked hard. Go down and have a good rest. I will send you the reward later."
The midwife knew that Madam Yang understood the true meaning of her words, and she smiled. Madam Yang looked at her grandson being held and shaken by the nurse, and the slight anger in her heart finally disappeared. She went forward to tease him for a while, heard the baby crying for a while, and saw that the nurse was about to feed the little guy, so she said to Liu Min and others: "Let's go, let's also tell the old lady the good news. It's windy outside now, and the child has just been born, so we won't go out for the time being. When it's warmer in a few days and he has grown up, we can show her great-grandson to the old lady."
A group of people smiled and nodded in agreement. Then they followed Madam Yang out of Chunfeng Garden and went to the North Courtyard to report the good news to Old Lady Fang.
"What's going on? Didn't he say he was going to the temple to pray for me so that I could have a smooth birth? Why is he still in the temple now that I've finished my confinement? Could it be that he has read a few sutras and developed a Buddha nature, and wants to become a monk?"
It was already late spring, and Su Nuannuan, who had finally finished her confinement, was like a prisoner who had just been released from prison. She first took a good bath, and before her hair was completely dry, she urged Honglian to simply comb her hair. Then she put on some clothes and couldn't wait to go out for some fresh air.
It happened that Duan Tingxuan had a day off today, so naturally he had to loyally follow his wife and show her care and concern. However, after he went out and sat in the corridor for a while, Su Nuannuan saw that no one was entering or leaving the wing where Aunt Jiang was supposed to live. She was puzzled. Logically, Aunt Jiang should have come over to talk to her when she heard her come out, so why was there no one there?
When asked, the young marquis had no way to hide it, so he told the eldest lady that Concubine Jiang was still chanting in the Buddhist temple. This naturally aroused the eldest lady's suspicion. After she finished speaking with a frown, she shook her head and said, "No, no, she is not even thirty years old yet, and she has to spend the rest of her life in the Buddhist temple? How can this be possible?"
"Why not?" Duan Tingxuan smiled nonchalantly, "If she really has Buddha nature, it would be bad if you blocked her from practicing."
"Bullshit." Su Nuannuan raised her eyebrows and blurted out a foul language, then said angrily: "She hasn't even reached her youth yet, what's the point of practicing? Does she have that state of mind? Does she think that just because she is dignified and mature, her heart is like a dead tree? Don't talk nonsense, she is far from it. Even if she is an old lady, she doesn't have that state of mind right now, so why should she have it?"
As he spoke, he stood up and said, "No, I have to go find her. How can a young woman like her live with the green lamp and the ancient Buddha? Has she forgotten Brother Chuan? Besides, if this gets out, wouldn't it make me look like a nobody? My wives and concubines, Madam Yun died, Madam Lan went crazy, and now a concubine wants to live in the Buddhist temple for a long time. What kind of person am I?"
"You said it yourself, you are a shrew, why do you care about these things?" Duan Tingxuan smiled bitterly, and quickly stopped his wife from meddling in other people's business. He said calmly, "If you ask me, you just finished your confinement, you should go and pay your respects to the old lady. They have been talking about you in front of me these days."
Su Nuannuan laughed and glanced at her husband and said, "Are you talking about me or the food I cooked? I think it's necessary to clarify this question."
"Isn't that the same? The food is you and you are the food..." Duan Tingxuan laughed. Before he could finish, his wife kicked him on the calf. He heard her yell, "Try to tell the truth again?"
Xing'er and Cong'er walked past the young marquis with their mouths covered and their heads lowered. Then the nurse came out with the little guy in her arms. When she saw Su Nuannuan, she smiled and said, "The young master is pouting and pushing around. I think he's hungry."
"No way? I just fed him this morning. This little guy's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. Will he become a foodie like his father in the future?" The grandmother began to worry sincerely.
"Is his father the only foodie? His mother isn't? You clearly drank a big bowl of peanut and pig's trotter soup this morning." Duan Tingxuan shouted angrily. He was not convinced.
"puff!"
Su Nuannuan and the wet nurse both laughed. The eldest grandmother raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "You can't refuse to accept it. Who told you not to have children? Naturally, you don't have such benefits. I drink that soup to increase my milk supply to feed your son. Otherwise, do you think I want to drink it? If you want to drink it, I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."
"I won't drink it. What good things can those people in the kitchen make? Besides, if I drank the soup that helps women produce milk, will I still be able to work in the industry if the news gets out?"
Duan Tingxuan pouted, and Su Nuannuan ignored him. She turned to look at the wet nurse and said, "Your son should be hungry now, right? Come here early in the morning. It's almost noon now anyway, go back, otherwise your son will be hungry and your milk will flow out. Why waste it here when he can't get it there?"
Before she finished speaking, the nurse knelt down with a plop, looking at Su Nuannuan with tears in her eyes, which frightened the grandmother. She hurriedly said, "What are you doing? Get up quickly, what happened? Tell me, as long as it's not your fault, Grandpa and I will take care of it for you."
