Without a second thought, she left the space.
After untying the hemp rope binding Shen and pulling the sock out of her mouth, they opened the door.
As the door opened, the baby's cries became clearer.
She was in postpartum confinement and shouldn't have left her room, but her heart was aching.
Following the sound of crying, they arrived directly at Zhuang Zilan's door.
She didn't knock; she simply reached out and pushed the door open to enter.
Upon seeing Zhuang Zilan wearing a white headband and sitting on the bed, coldly watching the child cry, he was immediately filled with anger.
Zhuang Zilan never expected to see fish in the pond, let alone that they would see such lively and energetic fish.
Upon seeing the person, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. She quickly reached out to hug the child, and then put on a "weak" smile.
"Sister-in-law, you're here? Did Little Stone's crying disturb you?"
As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, feigning sadness, and said:
"It's also pitiful for our little stone! His father left us, mother and son, early on, and now I have no breast milk because of the excessive grief I suffered before."
Seeing him crying so hard from hunger, it feels like my heart is being squeezed so hard; it hurts terribly.
After saying this, she reached out and gently touched the baby who was crying incessantly in the swaddling clothes, then looked at Chi Yu, who was standing in front of the bed and watching her coldly.
"Sister-in-law, I know I shouldn't have made you angry before, which caused you to fall."
And along with it, the child too…
As she spoke, she pretended to wipe her eyes, her voice pleading, and said:
"Sister-in-law, you are a mother too. Please have pity on our little stone and help me feed him, okay?"
Just pretend that this is your own child, okay?
"After my confinement period, you can treat me however you want, I'll accept it!"
Zhuang Zilan's behavior disgusted Chi Yu.
If I didn't know that the baby in front of me was my son.
Those who don't know the details would surely assume that this is Zhuang Zilan's child.
Moreover, now, as a mother, she has to humble herself and apologize to her estranged sister-in-law just so her child can have a sip of milk.
Knowing the truth, Chi Yu pursed her lips, glanced at Zhuang Zilan with icy eyes, and then bent down to reach out and hug the baby.
She had never held a child, but before she got married, she held her nephew's grandnephew quite a few times.
So as soon as she held the child, she instinctively pulled the child to her chest.
Just as a smug look flashed in Zhuang Zilan's eyes, she saw Chi Yu change to holding the baby with one hand.
With that free hand, he poured himself a glass of warm water before finding a stool to sit down.
Chi Yu didn't care what she thought. She first fed the baby some water, then pulled open the baby's swaddling clothes to look at the baby's bottom.
All the children in the Chi family, regardless of age or gender, have a blue heart-shaped birthmark.
The only difference is that the male baby's growth is on its buttocks, while the female baby's is on its lower back.
Those who don't know the truth might simply assume it's a birthmark on the child's skin that will disappear as the child grows up.
Even now, she still has that heart-shaped birthmark on her lower back.
This is a family trait of the Chi family; it can't be faked!
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
For some reason, seeing Chi Yu's actions, Zhuang Zilan's eyebrows and eyes twitched inexplicably.
As she asked the question, Chi Yu had already noticed the birthmark on the child's buttocks.
Once she was sure this was her child, she quickly wrapped the baby in swaddling clothes.
Then, carrying the child in one arm, she walked up to Zhuang Zilan, who had already gotten out of bed, and kicked her hard in the abdomen.
