Chapter 1019 Lost

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "I hope this kid can do well."

Qiu Yan smiled, then pushed the door open and went out. Zhou Shuren would not sit still easily if there was no great benefit. Anyone with a discerning eye could see his purpose this time. The key was that the emperor really gave him the opportunity. This honor was really enviable. Having said that, Zhou Shuren's sons were also very competitive. He himself had no ability, and Zhou Shuren was not capable enough to push them up.

Qiu Yan felt very envious when he thought of his mediocre descendants. If his descendants could be outstanding, he would at least have some courage to give it a try.

Zhulan returned home in the afternoon. Before she even stepped into the house, the steward of the Wu Ming family arrived. It turned out that Song Lan was about to give birth, and the Wu family had no elders, so they came to look for her.

Zhulan took a carriage to the Wu family again. The Wu family was in a bit of chaos. Originally, Song Lan and Wang Ling were pregnant one after the other. When one got pregnant, the other got pregnant at the same time.

Zhulan frowned and scolded the maid and the old woman. She was relieved when she saw the midwife. Fortunately, Song Lan had prepared the midwife. Song Lan was in good condition. "Don't be nervous. Listen to the midwife. I'll be waiting outside."

Song Lan felt relieved when she saw her godmother. Her mother had been ill recently and wanted to come over to stay, but she refused. Now the family needed someone to take care of things. With her godmother here, she could focus on having a baby. "Godmother, please go check on Wang Ling for me. I'm a little worried."

Zhu Lan patted Song Lan's hand, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Zhulan went to Wang Ling's room again. None of the men in the Wu family were at home today, so the servants were in a panic. Wang Ling's situation was better than Song Lan's.

Wang Ling was gathering her strength, "Auntie, you're here."

"Your sister-in-law is fine. I came to see you so I can tell her later. She has been thinking about you."

Wang Ling endured the pain in her stomach and said, "Auntie, I'm fine. The midwife said we need to wait a while."

Zhulan has a lot of experience in childbirth. "I'll be outside, you can give birth without worry."

Wang Ling endured the pain and smiled, "Yeah."

Zhulan went out, and Song Lan started first. After saying something to Song Lan, Zhulan sat on the chair waiting for news. It would take a while for the baby to be born.

The first person to come back from the Wu family was Wu Yong. When Wu Yong came in and saw Auntie, her panicked heart calmed down, "Auntie, you're here."

Zhu Lan motioned Wu Yong to wipe the sweat off his forehead, "Don't worry, Wang Ling is doing well."

Wu Yong was a father for the first time and was really anxious. When he saw the doctor sitting next to him, he said, "Auntie is really thoughtful."

Zhulan smiled and said, "This is not me. Your sister-in-law has already prepared it."

Wu Yong is grateful to his eldest sister-in-law. The eldest brother is like a father. His eldest brother has done so much for them over the years, and his eldest sister-in-law has taken care of them like a mother. He is clear-headed and sees clearly that "this family owes a lot to his eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Zhulan nodded. The children of the Wu family all had consciences. Seeing Wu Yong walking around anxiously, she did not let Wu Yong sit down.

Wu Ming had not returned from the Ministry of Rites even after receiving the news. The envoys would be coming to Beijing tomorrow. This time Wu Ming was under Wang Ju's command, and he was very busy and could not leave. But knowing that his godmother had gone, he felt relieved, so he waited until he left the government office before going home.

Wu Ming went home, "Is the baby not born yet?"

Zhulan thought, this is Wu Ming, his wife is in a hurry to give birth, but he is more focused on the errand, "Not yet, the midwife said we have to wait a while, do you want to change clothes?"

Wu Ming took a look at the delivery room before going to change her clothes.

Zhulan was not surprised that Wu Ming came back after leaving the government office. However, Song Lan would probably be disappointed. Even if she understood, women are sensitive and would still be disappointed.

Zhulan couldn't leave, and Song Lan's mother couldn't come. She was afraid that the disease would spread to Song Lan and the child, so she only sent a maid to wait for news, and time passed little by little.

The first one born was Wang Ling. Wang Ling gave birth to a daughter. Wu Yong grinned, said several good words, and then waited for the child to be brought out.

Song Lan's health is not as good as Wang Ling's, and her child is a little older and she is still having children.

When Zhou Shuren returned home and didn't see his wife, he learned about the Wu family's birth. He skipped his meal and went to the Wu family.

Wu Ming saw his godfather and said, "Godmother, thank you for your hard work today. I can take care of it by myself."

Zhulan waved her hands, "I'll stay here to watch over you. Otherwise I won't feel at ease. Ask the kitchen to prepare some food and we'll eat here later."

Wu Ming, "Okay."

After dinner, Song Lan's child was born, a son. Wu Ming had always been too quiet, and only when he saw the child did he feel the joy of being a father for the first time, and he was reluctant to let the child go.

Zhulan and other doctors examined the child and confirmed that the child was fine. They then went to see Song Lan, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Zhulan also asked the maid to take good care of the child before going home in a carriage.

Zhu Lan sat in the carriage, "Wu Ming is too quiet."

The wife is never the most important.

Zhou Shuren laughed, "So Wu Ming is the boss. He always understands what is most important."

Zhulan curled her lips and said, "I'm tired."

"Lean on me and rest for a while."

"Um."

The next morning, Zhulan looked at Changyi's clothes. These were issued by the Ministry of Rites. Although they were not official uniforms, they were very similar to official uniforms. Changyi was very careful when eating and would not eat anything with soup. She had seen Changyi touching his clothes carefully more than once.

Chang Yi left after eating. Zhao accompanied him to the gate of the mansion and waited until the carriage had gone far away before returning. She still felt uneasy when she returned, "Mother, my husband will definitely not make any mistakes today, right?"

Zhulan also wanted to seek peace of mind, but she was the elder, "Yes, Changyi will not make any mistakes, he will seize this opportunity."

Zhao believed her mother-in-law, "Mom, I'll go back to get the gift and go to Wu's house later."

"Um."

When Zhulan arrived at the Wu family, many people from the Song family had come and a lot of gifts had been piled up. Song Lan slept well yesterday and looked good.

Zhulan showed the gift to Song Lan. She was used to giving children their zodiac signs, which had good meanings and she didn't have to rack her brains to think of gifts.

Zhao and Su Xuan came together. They were teasing the child. Zhao looked at him carefully and said, "This child looks like Wu Ming."

Su Xuan continued, "The mouth and eyebrows look like Song Lan. This child is handsome."

Because Song Lan's first child was a son, his brows were relaxed and there was a smile on his face.

Zhu Lan watched carefully and found that Song Lan was not depressed because Wu Ming did not come back in time. Then she thought about Song Lan's personality and overall perspective. Well, she was worrying in vain. "This confinement period is a big deal. You have to take good care of yourself."

Song Lan remembered, "Thank you for your hard work yesterday."

"It's not hard. This is what I should do. And your mother asked me to do it. Don't think about anything. Just focus on your confinement."

Song Lan looked at her sleeping son, her smile deepening. She really had nothing to think about. "Yeah."

Ministry of Rites, Changyi arrived early, and then followed Lord Wang all the way until His Royal Highness Prince Qi arrived. Changyi silently calculated the time with a firm gaze, as success or failure depended on today.
