~ SAFE GIVING BIRTH ~
“Good, good, good!” Cao Yunnian said those three words and laughed out loud. Then, he wanted to enter the delivery room without a care in the world. “I’m going to visit Madam. It’s been hard on her!”
Mu Yunyao hurriedly stopped her father, “Father, you don’t need to worry. Mother has just finished giving birth, and there are still many things in the delivery room that haven’t been cleaned up yet. Moreover, your body has cold energy. I’m afraid that if you go in, it will freeze my little brother. You can change your clothes first, and I’ll ask people to tidy up the delivery room.”
Cao Yunnian looked down and discovered that he was still wearing his official uniform. He hurriedly lifted his head and said, “I was so worried that I was confused. I just got back from the administrative office and didn’t even have time to change my clothes. It’s not appropriate to wear this to see Madam. I’ll go to change it.”
“Alright.”
Mu Yunyao returned to the delivery room once again and discovered that Lady Jin was already asleep from exhaustion. The child was also sleeping sweetly by her side. His face was slightly red, and he looked a little wrinkled. He looked a little ugly, but he didn’t lose his cuteness.
Mu Yunyao went up to take Lady Jin’s pulse. Perhaps it was because she was too tired that she still hadn’t woken up.
Yin Hong figure walked in and knelt and kowtowed to Mu Yunyao directly.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly motioned to Jin Lan and Jin Qiao to help her up. She hissed lightly before bringing them to the outer room. “What is Sister Yin Hong doing?”
“This servant, thanks to Young Miss. If I didn’t have Miss’s help today, I’m afraid Mistress and Young Master would have been in danger.” She had seen the actions of Concubine Zhou and the midwife. If it wasn’t for Mu Yunyao, Young Master definitely unable to survive even if he didn’t die.
“I naturally wouldn’t watch my adoptive mother and younger brother suffer. If you say thank you, then it would be a foreign matter.”
“Yes, it’s all my fault that I was too agitated. For a moment, I couldn’t think of any words to say. Please forgive me, Miss.”
“You were loyal to my adoptive mother, and it was all thanks to you taking care of her that her body was healthy. When you get the reward, don’t forget to treat me to tea.” Yin Hong was overwhelmed by the favor. Since Mu Yunyao’s current identity was a master that owned the notorious tea house in Jiangnan, she could naturally find everything what kind of tea she wanted. Just now, when she said that, she was merely showing her intimacy with Yin Hong. “Yes, when I go to Bu Xian Luo, I will invite Young Miss to drink the most expensive tea.”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but smile. “Then you’ve earned it. I’ll personally make the most expensive tea in Bu Xian Luo. When the time comes, I’ll treat you. However, you still have to pay for the tea.”
“Yes, of course,” her cheeks were slightly red, “I can buy you a few drinks, Young Miss!”
“That’s great. I’ll remember it.”
After sleeping for more than two hours, Lady Jin finally woke up. When she woke up, she saw that the sky was already completely dark. Mu Yunyao was sitting on a chair not far away from her.
“Mother, you’re awake? Yin Hong, go and bring the soup over, then inform Father.”
“Yes, Miss.”
“Yao’er, you’ve been tired all day. I thought you were going back to rest?”
“I was worried because I didn’t see Mother wake up, so I stayed for a while longer.” Mu Yunyao got up and sat on the bedside before lifting the child up and placing it on Lady Jin’s bosom.
Lady Jin was so nervous that she was at a loss for what to do. Fortunately, the child was exceptionally well-behaved in his sleep. “He’s sleeping soundly. I wonder how much fright we’ve received because of him.”
While speaking, the child suddenly woke up and began to cry with a frown on his forehead. Mu Yunyao instantly panicked and couldn’t help but widen her eyes as she stood up and took a step back.
Lady Jin was initially nervous. But when she saw Mu Yunyao’s expression, she was slightly stunned before laughing out loud. Previously, when Lady Jin saw her calm appearance, Lady Jin thought that Mu Yunyao wasn’t nervous. But in fact, it seemed that she was forcing herself not to show it. “Yin Hong, go and call the wet nurse over.”
Only after that Mu Yunyao react, and she looked a little embarrassed. She hurriedly changed the topic. “Mother, could this wet nurse can you really trust?” After seeing Lady Jin’s experiences of being pregnant and having children all the way, Mu Yunyao was a little overwhelmed.
“She was once my maid and had always been loyal to me. When she reached her age, I helped her with a good marriage. Now that her whole family is serving in residence, I can trust them.”
“That’s good.”
Soon, the wet nurse walked over. Mu Yunyao sized her up, and when she saw her clear eyes and clean hands, she couldn’t help but nod to herself as the wet nurse carried the child with professional movements.
The child’s appetite was small. By the time Cao Yunnian arrived, the wet nurse had already fed the child and put him on the bed.
Mu Yunyao also tactfully stood up to take her to leave. “Father, Mother, it’s getting late. If there’s anything else, we can talk about it in the future. I’ll be taking my leave first.”
“Alright,” Lady Jin also knew that there was no need to be in such a rush, so she ordered Yin Hong, “Take Young Miss safely back home.”
“Yes, Madam. Please rest assured.”
When they returned home, Su Qing came to welcome them. “Yao’er, how is Lady Jin?”
“Mother, you don’t need to worry. Although it was a bit dangerous, both mother and child were safe and sound in the end.”
“Amitabha, that’s good. It’s so difficult for Lady Jin to give birth to her child. It’s a good thing that she’s safe and sound.”
Mu Yunyao recounted her experiences in the Cao Family’s residence. When Su Qing heard this, she sighed, “I really don’t understand. I don’t understand how a child could attract so many people’s hatred!” Without the Jin Family’s support, even Concubine Zhou wouldn’t dare to act so blatantly.
“Who knows what’s going on in the big family?” Mu Yunyao shook her head. She didn’t know what the Jin Family was thinking. Could it be that if Lady Jin didn’t have any children, she would fully support the Jin family? If it was her, she never has a grudge on such a thing.
Knowing that Lady Jin needed some rest, Su Qing did not rush to visit her. She waited until three days later before following Mu Yunyao to the Cao Family’s residence.
Lady Jin looked much better. At this time, she was leaning against the bed and holding her baby. Seeing Su Qing and Mu Yunyao coming in, with a smile on her face, she said, “Sister Su, please come and help me to have a look. He always falls asleep and doesn’t wake up very much.” She also repeatedly told Yin Hong to watch the tea in her seat.
Su Qing could not help but smile, “It’s a good thing. Children can grow fast by eating and sleeping.”
Lady Jin heaved a sigh of relief. She raised her child for the first time, and she was so nervous. She would wake up several times during the night to check if the child was still breathing. As Su Qing and Lady Jin discussed raising a child, Mu Yunyao sat to the side and listened quietly. Her eyes were curved, and from beginning to end, they filled with a smile. From Su Qing’s words, she could imagine how she looked when she was just born. She also could feel her mother’s strong love for her. Just thinking about it made her feel extremely happy.
Lady Jin and Su Qing discussed the parenting experience for a long time. Until Su Qing asked to resign, she still had some meaning. “Sister Su, in the next two days, you will have to visit me frequently. As for taking care of children, I really don’t have any experience, so I would like to ask for your advice.”
“Alright, but Madam still needs to rest more. Do not fall sick in confinement. Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life.”
“I’ll listen to you.” Lady Jin nodded.
Mu Yunyao followed Su Qing and left. After she got into the carriage, she couldn’t help but ask about how his childhood was, “Mother, how I used to be when I was so young?”
“When you were just born, you were like a little kitten with your hands on your palms. The villagers all said that you could not be raised and advised me to throw you away. But Mother thought that I could nurture you well, so no one listened. Your father also doted on me and did his best to buy medicinal ingredients for me. I never thought that you could really grow up so well, and even looks like a flower and like jade now....” Mu Yunyao leaned on Su Qing’s shoulder, the smile in her eyes gradually deepened.
There was a custom in Xiayan Village that a child that couldn’t grow up must not die at home. This would bring about bad luck and would make future children hard to raise. Mother was able to keep her at that time, so the rumors she was carrying around were not small, “Mother, you are very kind.”
“Silly girl, what are you thinking about again? Alright, it’s all over now. You’re fine. Mother is happier than anything else.”
Cao Yunnian looked down and discovered that he was still wearing his official uniform. He hurriedly lifted his head and said, “I was so worried that I was confused. I just got back from the administrative office and didn’t even have time to change my clothes. It’s not appropriate to wear this to see Madam. I’ll go to change it.”
