Chapter 69: The Aftermath

And Lord Chen shouted inward in a trembling voice: "Miss Xia, is my wife okay?" ”

Xia Yuanqiu looked at Mrs. Chen, whose face was pale and almost collapsed, and said with a smile: "Madam has married a good husband, and her good life is enviable." ”

A smile bloomed on Mrs. Chen's weak face, sweet, satisfied, and with a kind of luck for the rest of her life: "He has always been very good." ”

Yuan Qiu turned his head to Lord Chen outside the door: "Madam is very good, don't worry." ”

Lord Chen let out a sigh of relief, saluted Xia Yuanqiu through the door and window, and said loudly: "Thank you, Miss Xia, the grace of saving your life must be remembered in your heart and never forgotten." ”

When the old lady saw her son like this, she glared and said, "What are you doing with her?" Don't hesitate to ask if it's a boy or a girl. ”

Lord Chen's face was calm, and his voice was slightly cold: "Mother, whether it is a boy or a girl, I am very happy, why should you be like this!" ”

When the old lady heard this, she immediately lowered her face and said angrily: "What's good? There is a boy in our family, Mingjie is so thin, it is natural to add more Ding, Mingjie already has a sister above, and this child should be a boy. ”

Lord Chen's face was thin and angry, but he didn't want to refute the old mother in front of all his subordinates, so he kept silent with a black face.

Seeing that her son was silent, the old lady refused to stop there, and then muttered: "If you had been willing to listen to me earlier, accept two concubines, or accept two girls in the house to have a room, can our family be so thin?" ”

Seeing that the old lady was getting more and more outrageous, Master Chen simply brushed his sleeves and left, walked a few steps outside, rushed back, and shouted inside: "Madame should rest first, and my husband will come to see you later." ”

After receiving a gentle and gentle response from the inside, Lord Chen left the small courtyard with a smile and returned to the front office to continue to deal with the official business that had fallen today.

The old lady waited for a while, and finally waited for the maid to walk out of the inner room with the baby in her arms, and she couldn't wait to lift the baby quilt, regardless of the cold autumn night that would freeze the child, just wanted to confirm whether the child was male or female.

"Girls? How so? I asked God to ask the Buddha that every time I had to sign a lot, it should be a boy, how could this be? How so? The old lady muttered to herself and walked away, refusing to look at the baby again.

The maid holding the baby pursed her lips and quickly wrapped the child and hugged it back.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen's face is gloomy, Yuan Qiu's heart is not a taste, this is the sorrow of ancient women, in the eyes of the mother-in-law, the daughter-in-law is a tool used to pass on the ancestry, in the eyes of the husband, women are like clothes, and they change when they are tired of wearing, fortunately, Mrs. Chen also has a husband who loves her, and she is happier than most women.

"Madam, don't be sad and depressed, it's not good for your body, now you are the mother of three children, don't think about yourself, but also take care of the newly born third lady."

After listening to Yuan Qiu's persuasion, Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows and nodded: "Miss Xia is right, Lan'er has just been born, and she is still waiting for me to be a mother, I must take care of this body, and I will hold my little grandson in the future." ”

The two talked for a while, mostly some advice from Xia Yuanqiu, prescribed two prescriptions to nourish the body, and teased the child for a while, and then retired from Mrs. Chen.

It was already dark, and it was obviously not safe to go back to Xipo Village at night, so I could only stay for the time being and leave early tomorrow morning.

The sky is slightly cloudy, and the people in the city may still be asleep, but the countryside has already begun a day's work.
