Back in the room, Thirteen carefully placed Heyue on the bed, held her hand, and asked nervously, "Does it hurt a lot? If it hurts, just say so. I'm here, I'll rub it for you."
He placed his hand on her lower abdomen, but dared not use force, only gently and carefully rubbing it.
Just now, when facing Manager Cui and the others, He Yue had been holding back and not letting herself show weakness. Now, she no longer cared about anything, relaxed her body, and let fatigue wash over her mind: "It's okay, I'm just tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
He closed his eyes as he spoke, and the pain in his lower abdomen gradually disappeared as drowsiness washed over him, and he soon fell asleep.
When Thirteen went out earlier, Heyue wasn't sound asleep. As soon as Thirteen left, Heyue sensed it. Hearing Thirteen and Hailan's conversation, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong, so she got up and followed them.
Standing at the door of the side room, I overheard Cui Tianshi's words.
Cui Tianshi was just someone who doted on her children, and He Yue could understand some of her feelings. As for Steward Cui, He Yue always believed in his loyalty to her and that he would never do anything to betray her.
As for Cui Yan, although her behavior made He Yue very angry, it was not worth He Yue worrying about her.
With her limited skills, she's not a threat at all, and there's no need to pursue this further.
When Heyue woke up at noon, she heard that Steward Cui and his wife had taken Cui Yan back.
That's good, to prevent Cui Yan from causing any more trouble.
He Yue still sent someone to fetch a doctor, making sure Cui Yan was completely unharmed.
And that was the end of it.
Heyue's injuries weren't serious, but the sudden loss of her child had taken a toll on her body. From then on, she was forced to drink medicine by Shisan every day, which was extremely painful.
A month later, Heyue recovered and gradually recovered from the loss of losing her child, becoming the lively and energetic woman she once was.
Cui Yan has recovered and I heard she hasn't caused any more trouble, which is a good sign.
Now that things are better, it's time for Cui Yan to study with the female tutor.
He Yue had someone summon the female tutor.
The female teacher's surname was Wu. She was pretty and had some talent, but because of this talent, she was still unmarried at the age of twenty-six.
It is said that her family arranged several marriages for her, but this woman was very stubborn and said that she did not want to stay in that small place for the rest of her life, to be a wife and mother.
None of those families were willing to accept such an unconventional and arrogant woman, and gradually, no one came to propose marriage, so the marriage was delayed.
In ancient times, women were treated very strictly; if they didn't get married, they had no way to survive. But this Miss Wu was willing to break with her family and live alone outside, making a living by teaching and doing needlework. Although she lived a frugal life, she had no complaints and was quite content with her lot.
Such an independent woman was rare in ancient times and was not understood by the world, so Miss Wu didn't have many friends.
It can be said that Miss Wu was indeed talented, good at reading and needlework. Therefore, even though many people disagreed, there were still ordinary people who did not want their daughters to show their faces in public, but wanted their daughters to learn to read and write, so they were willing to let their children study and learn needlework under her guidance.
Therefore, when He Yue saw her, she saw that there was no sadness or distress on her face, her eyes were clear, and she had a smile on her lips, which made her feel that she had found the right person.
But Heyue didn't want Cui Yan to follow that path and never get married, otherwise Heyue would be letting down Steward Cui.
So he specifically instructed Miss Wu to only teach Cui Yan to read more books, learn some principles from the books, and some needlework, and not to say anything else.
Miss Wu readily agreed.
Heyue didn't let Cui Yan come here to study. After all, the house was only so big. If Cui Yan came, she would see Thirteen all the time, and how could she possibly have peace of mind?
Therefore, Heyue sent Cui Yan to study at Miss Wu's house.
Cui He has been following Thirteen all along, but it's time to continue recruiting students for Thirteen.
Heyue's health has improved. After staying at home for a month, she felt like she was growing grass all over her body, and her mind became more active.
I had already asked Steward Cui to find a suitable courtyard nearby to use as a future school.
Heyue took Hailan and Zhizhu to see it. The courtyard was not big, with only one entrance and three main rooms. In the future, it will be larger when the rooms are connected. There are side rooms on both sides of the main room, which can be used as places to rest and drink tea.
In this way, reading will be enough.
After that, someone was hired to clean up, and Heyue was handed over to Steward Cui.
Manager Cui had experience with this, and he had come to ask for help before to make up for what happened to Cui Yan, so He Yue agreed.
Having lived here for so many years and having some people under her command, Heyue doesn't need to worry about anything anymore. She occasionally takes her maids out for a stroll to relax, living a leisurely but also boring life.
When Heyue first arrived here, she felt fine and really liked this kind of life, where she didn't have to worry about anything. But as time went on, Heyue found that this kind of life could really wear down one's will.
If you're still in Beijing, there's a ton of things to do every day. It's tiring, but it's also very fulfilling.
She couldn't help but miss life in the capital.
He sighed and said something, but Thirteen laughed and said, "You've always been a troublemaker since you were little. Even now that you're a mother, you still can't change."
Heyue glanced at him with dissatisfaction: "Don't you find it boring? In a while, you can go to the school to teach people to read. What can I do? I can only look at the scenery in the courtyard and sigh. In a few days, I will really become a resentful woman confined to her boudoir."
Thirteen raised an eyebrow in surprise, finding it amusing: "What do you mean by a resentful woman confined to her chambers? Has the master neglected you?"
