Chapter 489 Lin Xingman gave birth, and Xie Hanchuan became jealous.
"What?" Lin Luoxi was startled when she heard her servant's words.
She'd been busy checking the accounts for the past two months and hadn't paid any attention to Lin Xingman's situation. Who knew that just as she finished checking the accounts, Lin Xingman was about to make her move.
"Let's go, let's go quickly." Lin Luoxi thought of Lin Xingman's special physique and was so frightened that she quickly ran towards Lin Xingman's yard.
"Ah!" Lin Xingman's painful screams came from inside her room.
"Did something happen to the Empress before she launched the attack?" Hearing Lin Xingman's voice from inside the room, Lin Luoxi sensed something was wrong.
"Her Majesty the Empress was perfectly fine when she woke up this morning, but then a carrier pigeon flew over, and after reading the contents, she started the process..."
The maids standing in Lin Xingman's courtyard, upon hearing Lin Luoxi's question, quickly reported everything in detail.
"Damn it!" Who else could have caused Lin Xingman such a commotion besides Xiao Jingchen, who is far away in the capital? Lin Luoxi guessed it immediately; Xiao Jingchen must have caused some trouble in the palace again.
"You all go boil water and get ready, I'll go in!" Lin Xingman's situation was special, so Lin Luoxi didn't ask for a midwife and went in herself.
Hearing Lin Xingman's screams coming from inside the room, Lin Luoxi mentally cursed that being love-struck was no good, but quickly rushed towards Lin Ximan's room.
When Lin Xingman saw Lin Luoxi arrive, her pale face regained a little life. "Luoxi, save me! Am I going to die? It hurts so much..."
Now, the only person she can rely on is Lin Luoxi.
"Xingman, don't be afraid, just listen to my instructions..." Childbirth is a life-or-death experience for women, and Lin Luoxi understands Lin Xingman's feelings.
She calmly directed Lin Xingman, guiding her to breathe in rhythm with her.
With Lin Luoxi's abdominal massage, Lin Xingman finally gave birth to the child with a burst of strength.
Just as Lin Xingman's son was born, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning flashed and thunder roared, as if a dragon was roaring above the clouds.
The sound of a baby crying came from inside the room, and the dark clouds in the sky vanished instantly, leaving a clear blue sky. How magical!
Lin Luoxi breathed a huge sigh of relief when she saw that Lin Xingman had given birth to a chubby baby instead of a snake egg.
Fortunately, she had prepared in advance. When she saw that it was a baby, she quickly grabbed some scissors, cut the umbilical cord, gave the child a quick wash, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes.
Taking advantage of Lin Xingman's unconsciousness, Lin Luoxi dripped a drop of spiritual spring water into the child's mouth.
She put the child in the cradle and had the maids come to help Lin Xingman wash and take care of her and her child.
Helping Lin Xingman give birth smoothly took from night to day, leaving the highly stressed Lin Luoxi exhausted.
With both mother and child safe and sound, Lin Luoxi returned home reassured. She sent a message to Xiao Jingchen via eagle, and then went back to her room to rest.
Lin Xingman fainted after giving birth and didn't wake up until evening.
The person woke up, but was not in a good mood. He lay listlessly on the bed, tears streaming down his face as he looked at his newborn baby.
"Oh dear, Your Majesty, you mustn't cry during your postpartum period, or it will damage your eyes later..."
The maids who served Lin Xingman were extremely anxious when they saw her heartbroken appearance.
Some were afraid that Lin Xingman might do something rash, so they ran out to ask Lin Luoxi for help, while others stayed behind to comfort Lin Xingman.
Seeing Lin Xingman's appearance, the maids' illusions about the Empress's position instantly vanished.
It seems that even the Empress, whom everyone respects, has worries and desires, and is not as happy as those who work as servants in the Xie family.
Lin Luoxi rushed over anxiously after hearing the report from the maids.
"Grandma, why are you demeaning yourself like this? If you're unhappy about something, just let it out."
"If someone makes you angry, just fight them back. If you do that, you'll only hurt yourself, not anyone else!"
Seeing Lin Xingman's whining and complaining, Lin Luoxi was furious.
"Luo Xi..." When Lin Xingman saw Lin Luo Xi arrive, she burst into tears instantly.
"Sigh!" Seeing Lin Xingman crying so miserably, Lin Luoxi could only sigh helplessly and sit down next to her to confide in her.
It turns out that yesterday's carrier pigeon was a message sent to her by Xiao Jingchen's cousin, Liu Yanyan, saying that Xiao Jingchen had already favored her and even bestowed upon her the title of Consort De.
Seeing Lin Xingman crying her eyes out, Lin Luoxi could only sigh; she had long anticipated this scene.
With his wife pregnant and away, and surrounded by temptations, it's no wonder that a man like Xiao Jingchen could uphold his promise to stay with one woman until the end.
“Xingman, Xiao Jingchen’s identity is what it is. Even if you don’t want to admit it, there’s nothing you can do. He’s destined not to give you your one true love.”
"Now there's a Liu Yanyan, and later there will be other Wang Yanyans, Liu Yanyans, Zhang Yanyans..."
"Are you sure you want to let yourself cry every day for that man?"
"Or, try a different approach. Focus all your attention on yourself and your child, pull your love for Xiao Jingchen back, take good care of yourself, and find a way to make a living for yourself and your child..."
"Who says men change when they have money? We women can too! Men can have multiple wives and concubines, and we women can have countless handsome men. Why are you hanging yourself on that crooked tree, Xiao Jingchen…"
Lin Xingman was completely taken aback by Lin Luoxi's coaxing, and a glimmer of hope for life rekindled in her eyes.
“Okay, from now on, I will only live for myself and my child…” Lin Xingman felt that her marital bond with Xiao Jingchen was fading, and it was time to make a clean break.
After being comforted by Lin Luoxi, Lin Xingman did feel much more energetic. Lin Luoxi was worried that childbirth would deplete Lin Xingman's vitality, so she added a lot of spiritual water to her postpartum soup to help her nourish her body.
"Wife, I was just passing by and was hoping to hear you say you wanted to have countless handsome men around you..."
Lin Luoxi had just comforted Lin Xingman and left Lin Xingman's room when she heard Xie Hanchuan's leisurely voice behind her.
At this moment, Xie Hanchuan felt extremely resentful towards Xiao Jingchen, even though it was Xiao Jingchen who had wronged his wife.
Now, things have gotten complicated, and he's even started having inappropriate thoughts about his own wife.
"Whoa! You scared me half to death." Xie Hanchuan's voice suddenly came from behind, startling Lin Luoxi.
She turned her head and glared at Xie Hanchuan, "What are you doing? You're acting all sneaky even in your own home."
“How could you say I was sneaking around, my wife? It’s not like you were so engrossed in your conversation with the Empress that you ignored me for so long.”
"I just heard my wife say she wants to have countless handsome men. It seems I haven't tried hard enough to make her have such inappropriate thoughts. It's my fault. To show I know I was wrong, come on, honey, let's go back to our room..."
Xie Hanchuan ignored Lin Luoxi's resistance, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and forcibly carried her back to the room.
That day, the Xie family's kitchen was bustling with activity. The large pot in the kitchen never stopped boiling water, and the commotion inside Xie Hanchuan and Lin Luoxi's room showed no signs of abating.
Three days later, Lin Xingman did not see Xiao Jingchen, but instead received assassins from the capital.
