What he didn't tell Lü Qiao was that he had once questioned his birth mother because of his background, and didn't understand why he was abandoned as soon as he was born.
Unwilling to give up, he went to the house where the woman was about to give birth and squatted there all night. He heard the woman screaming in agony inside the house, and in the end, she still managed to give birth.
Only then did he realize the inhuman pain and how difficult it is for a woman to give birth.
At that time, he thought that his birth mother must have loved him, otherwise how could she have endured such pain to give birth to him?
Later, he went to the Si Mansion and found an old nanny who had served his birth mother. From the old nanny, he learned a lot about his birth mother and how difficult it was for her to give birth to him.
Because of her poor health, she experienced more pain and suffering during childbirth than others, and even nearly suffered a difficult delivery.
But his birth mother passed away not long after giving birth to him...
Therefore, his abandonment had nothing to do with his birth mother. It was Si Zhengnan who disliked his birth mother's low status and felt that he was a mistake, which is why he abandoned him.
Of course, Mrs. Si's involvement played a significant role in this.
His birth mother was originally a lowly servant. He was conceived because Si Zhengnan forced himself on him while he was drunk.
However, after giving birth to him, Si Zhengnan disliked him, and with his tacit approval, Madam Si had him abandoned in the wilderness. If his master hadn't found him, he would have been devoured by wild beasts long ago.
When he was abandoned, his birth mother was still in her postpartum period. She was already physically weak and had lost a lot of energy due to childbirth. Therefore, when she learned of this terrible news, she was so heartbroken that she could not bear the blow and passed away.
His eyes darkened as he recalled these past events.
Ironically, when Si Zhengnan learned that he was working for his master, he even considered having him acknowledge his ancestors.
Even though he couldn't kill such a hypocritical and shameless person, he would never forgive him in this lifetime. He was waiting to see the Si family fall into ruin.
...
In the main courtyard, Wen Nongnong learned that Lu Yingying had successfully given birth, and her anxious heart finally settled down.
Just then, Gu Linchao returned, and the couple went to the Wen residence to visit Lu Yingying and the children.
When we arrived at the Wen residence, it was already evening, but the house was brightly lit and filled with a festive atmosphere.
Madam Wen and the others were holding children in the hall, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Upon seeing the two approach, the group greeted them with smiles.
After Wen Nongnong helped Gu Linchao sit down, she leaned over and looked at the child for a while.
Like all newborns, this child's face was wrinkled, and because he was sleeping with his eyes closed, it was impossible to tell whether he was beautiful or not.
However, given the good genes of Wen Tingyun and his wife, their child is naturally going to be good-looking.
After joking around with everyone for a while, she went with Madam Xu to visit Lu Yingying in her room.
When the mother and daughter arrived, Wen Tingyun was also in the house. He had rolled up his sleeves and was tidying up for Lu Yingying.
Lu Yingying's face was flushed, and apart from looking a little weak, she seemed to be in good spirits.
Besides, she had just taken a nap and eaten something, so she wasn't sleepy at the moment.
Seeing the two of them come in, she avoided Lu Tingyun's wiping and whispered, "That's enough."
Wen Tingyun glanced at her tenderly, but didn't insist. He then packed his things and put them aside.
"Mother, Nong Nong." After tidying up, Wen Tingyun lowered his sleeves and greeted her gently.
"Big brother, sister-in-law." Wen Nongnong stepped forward.
She was deeply moved; her older brother treated his wife so well.
Although he was an outstanding man, he was not arrogant. After his wife gave birth, he did not shy away from the fact that he was taking care of her personally.
Even in modern times, very few men can do what he did.
"Looking at me like that, don't you recognize me?" Wen Tingyun noticed her gaze and teased her with a smile.
Wen Nongnong shook her head. "I just wanted to say that my brother and sister-in-law are such a perfect match."
Wen Tingyun chuckled, "What's going on? Why are you suddenly starting to flatter me?"
Wen Nongnong wrinkled her nose. "I originally wanted to praise only my sister-in-law, but seeing how good you are to her, I'll praise you too."
“Isn’t it a husband’s duty to be good to his wife?” Wen Tingyun said with a laugh. “Besides, I haven’t done much. Yingying has had the hardest time.”
At this point, seeing Madam Xu standing to the side, he continued, "Of course, Mother has worked the hardest, giving birth to the three of us siblings, and now she has to take care of her grandchildren. She'll be very busy."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xu could hardly contain her smile, but she said, "Really, if you want to praise Yingying, just praise her. Why drag me into it? Besides, taking care of my grandson is what I, as a grandmother, should do."
Wen Tingyun said solemnly, "Because you and Yingying are the two most important women in my life."
Now, not only was Madam Xu somewhat embarrassed, but Lu Yingying blushed even more.
Wen Nongnong deeply admired Wen Tingyun's high emotional intelligence.
Her older brother comes from a good family, is good-looking, capable, and even has high emotional intelligence.
No wonder Madam Xu and Lu Yingying got along so well; they almost never blushed.
Although Madam Xu was a rare good mother-in-law, and Lu Yingying was also very well-mannered and raised, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would probably not have been so good if it weren't for Wen Tingyun balancing things out.
"Sister-in-law, you are amazing." Wen Nong Nong sat down by the bed, took Lu Yingying's hand, and showered her with praise.
Lu Yingying chuckled, "I'm nothing special, it's Mother who's the most amazing."
Xu gave birth to three children in a row; that's truly remarkable.
Upon hearing this, Wen Nongnong laughed and said, "Mother is amazing, and sister-in-law is amazing too."
"Alright, stop flattering me," Madam Xu said, though she was secretly pleased by her children's mutual praise.
Wen Nongnong chuckled, then looked at Lu Yingying's flattened belly and said with a hint of envy, "Sister-in-law has already given birth, but I still have to endure so long."
"What do you mean by 'the cargo is unloaded'?" Mrs. Xu asked, both amused and exasperated.
Wen Nongnong gently patted her belly and joked to herself, "With this big belly, it's like carrying a load of cargo, isn't it? After giving birth, it'll be like unloading that heavy thing."
Her analogy made everyone in the room laugh.
"You silly girl, you're just talking nonsense." Madam Xu said irritably, then her gaze couldn't help but fall on her belly. It was only a little over two months, and she wasn't showing yet. If you didn't know she was pregnant, you would never be able to tell.
“Every woman has to go through this process. Just relax, ten months will pass quickly,” she said lovingly, patting her daughter’s head.
Wen Nongnong nodded emphatically, "I understand, I will definitely keep a calm mindset."
As they were talking, Lu Yingying's personal maid came in carrying a child and said with a smile, "Princess Consort, the little prince is hungry and is crying."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yingying quickly reached out her hand, "Quickly, give it to me."
