Soon, there were bursts of noisy sounds in the room, including the midwife's calls and faint sounds of □□.
Li Yaonan was so anxious that he paced back and forth outside, feeling his palms getting cold and his hands and feet going weak.
On the other side, Nanny Zhou was screaming from being beaten. The noises from both sides made him upset. He pointed at someone beside him and angrily said, "Go and shut her mouth."
The little girl responded and ran away quickly, knowing that her master was very angry and she dared not offend him.
"Why is there no sound inside?" The pressure on Li Yaonan's body was getting lower and lower. He looked gloomy and his eyes turned red as he stared at the delivery room.
It was only when Aunt Liu saw that he was not behaving properly that she advised him, "It's the same for the first child, it will be fine in the future. You're not shouting now to save some energy, so you don't get tired during the birth later. You should find a place to sit down, don't worry, the two midwives inside are very experienced, and the young master is well taken care of, so nothing will go wrong."
After listening to the nanny's advice, Li Yaonan felt relieved. However, before he could sit there for long, basins of blood were brought out from the room. He was frightened by the sight. Just when he had put his mind at ease, his heart was lifted up again.
Nanny Liu was speechless, but at the same time she was also relieved that her son did not marry the wrong person. This son-in-law was obviously a good person who knew how to care for others.
The people in the room were busy. Lin Yixuan's erection was getting bigger and bigger, and then he started screaming. The midwife's calm and powerful voice was mixed in, and she kept telling him to push harder.
Li Yaonan was so anxious that he was pacing around outside, his heart growing heavier. He wanted to learn to be calm and wait patiently, but the people inside were his husband and child, and it was a premature baby, so how could he not be anxious
As time passed, after a night, at dawn the next day, just as the sky was getting light, the crying of a baby broke the quiet dawn.
Li Yaonan's legs went limp, and he fell down on the steps under the eaves, staring in disbelief: "She gave birth?"
A midwife came out to congratulate him: "Congratulations, sir. Congratulations, sir. Your son has given birth to a big fat boy. Both mother and child are safe."
Li Yaonan breathed a sigh of relief. It was not until he heard that both mother and child were safe that he realized that he was already sweating profusely. Then he was ecstatic and rushed into the house like the wind. He saw Lin Yixuan looking pale and sleeping soundly due to exhaustion. His black hair and cheeks were covered with sticky sweat, and he looked like he had been fished out of the water.
Thinking of the premature birth of his child today, Li Yaonan was still angry with Lin Yixuan, but seeing him so weak, he couldn't help but feel pity for him. However, he couldn't let him go easily. At least he had to teach Lin Yixuan a lesson, so that he wouldn't take his health lightly again.
After the midwife gave the child a bath, she wrapped him in a swaddle and brought him to Li Yaonan. She smiled and said, "He weighs exactly 6.2 jin. He's a strong little guy."
Li Yaonan's heart softened when he saw the little child, but his second thought was that the child was ugly. He frowned in disdain and said, "So ugly, he doesn't look like me at all."
After hearing this, the midwife laughed and said, "All children are like this. After a few days of care, the skin will stretch out. Look at the small nose and eyes. Isn't it just like your son-in-law?"
How could Li Yaonan really dislike his son? He felt warm at heart. If you didn't have a child, you wouldn't know. You always thought that the child was the most troublesome creature in the world. Only after having a child did you realize that the moment you saw the child, your heart seemed to become complete. With a husband and a son, he had a real home in ancient times.
Seeing that he liked the baby, the midwife gave him the baby.
Li Yaonan took his son with his hands stiffly, not daring to move, fearing that he would break the little thing. He was so anxious that he shouted to the midwife, "Take him away quickly."
The midwife found it funny, as she had never seen a father act like this, so she smiled and said, "It's okay, just relax. This is how you hold the child so he will feel comfortable." As she spoke, she instructed Li Yaonan on how to hold the baby.
Li Yaonan just felt so damn tired. He held the baby for a while and then gave it back to the midwife. He was really afraid that the midwife would be careless and hurt the baby.
Only when he completely relaxed did Li Yaonan feel tired. He was extremely exhausted today. He saw that everything in the house was in order, the wet nurse was waiting on the side, and the two maids were directing the servants to run around.
Li Yaonan said hello, went to the next room, fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept until the afternoon.
Lin Yixuan woke up once and saw the soft baby. He felt guilty. It was almost because of his mistake that the child would not come into this world. This was the child he had been longing for for two lifetimes and had tried every means to get.
Fortunately, Lin Yixuan felt guilty. Seeing that Li Yaonan was not in the room, he felt anxious. He knew that his husband was really angry this time. He looked up at the nurse and asked, "Where is my husband?"
"Uncle-in-law was next door, waiting for you to give birth to the baby before going to bed. The little master is so handsome, and looks very much like uncle-in-law. You don't know, uncle-in-law was so anxious at that time, and he couldn't even stand steadily when he heard that you gave birth to a son." The wet nurse said with a smile. She was a servant on Lin's mother's farm, and the family's indentures were in Lin's mother's hands. Her attitude towards Lin Yixuan was extremely respectful, and she only said good things about him.
When Lin Yixuan heard this, the color on his face relaxed and turned warm. When he heard the news that his brother had broken his leg yesterday, his mind went blank and his heart was in turmoil, so he lost his composure. Only then did he have the mood to think about what Nanny Zhou said yesterday. Anyway, no matter what, he would not believe that his elder brother was really in trouble.
Thinking about it carefully, there were many loopholes in Nanny Zhou's words, and he was too concerned to react.
You know, in the Marquis' Mansion, if the eldest brother really broke his leg, the imperial physician must be invited. But from what Nanny Zhou said, it seemed that the doctor said that the brother was useless. How was this possible? With doubts in her heart, Lin Yixuan controlled her temper. She now had a husband and a son, and she could no longer neglect her body like she did yesterday. Seeing Li Yaonan's gloomy face, to be honest, he was still a little scared.
Feeling a little tired after all, Lin Yixuan thought for a while and fell asleep again not long after.
However, Li Yaonan kept his elder brother's affairs in mind. After waking up in the afternoon, he sent someone to the capital to inquire about the news. The person he sent was a manager under Lin Yixuan. After all, compared to his people, the servants around Lin Yixuan were more familiar with the capital and could more easily find out about the affairs of Jingyang Marquis Mansion.
After Li Yaonan finished all this, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something important this morning, so he hurriedly called Aunt Liu over and asked, "Has the good news been sent out?"
Madam Liu glanced at him reproachfully and said with a smile, "It has been sent out long ago, and the clan has also been notified. The Zhang family sent a message today that Madam Zhang will come to help early tomorrow morning to prevent you from being caught off guard. The young master's third-day bath ceremony cannot be sloppy."
Li Yaonan felt ashamed. Didn't he forget about the third-month-old ceremony? The original owner had never experienced it. Modern people don't pay much attention to the third-month-old ceremony. He thought that he only needed to hold a full-moon banquet.
Li Yaonan slapped his head in annoyance and said, "By the way, it seems the reward money hasn't been distributed yet." He was so happy this morning that he didn't remember anything.
Matron Liu sighed and said, "It has been paid a long time ago. I, the old servant, have given two taels of silver to everyone in the mansion." Her son-in-law was good in every way except that he was not born into a good family. There was not even a decent elder in the family, so naturally he would not be very thoughtful in his actions.
"Thanks, Madam." Li Yaonan thanked sincerely.
Ma Liu smiled modestly and said, "This is what an old servant should do." As long as the son-in-law doesn't think she's in the way, it will be fine. She still remembers how the son-in-law treated her so harshly some time ago.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Li Yaonan went to the bedroom to check on the child.
The little child was sleeping next to Lin Yixuan. Looking at the two, one big and one small, Li Yaonan's heart calmed down.
The child's cheeks were red and a little wrinkled, and he was sleeping soundly. Looking closely, his nose was a bit like his, and his mouth was like Lin Yixuan's. You couldn't tell with his eyes closed. But no matter how Li Yaonan looked at him, he liked him. Even if the child fell asleep, he never got tired of looking at him.
After staying in the room for a while, the smell of blood from the morning seemed not to have dissipated yet. Li Yaonan saw Lin Yixuan's eyelashes moving slightly, as if he was about to wake up, so he turned and left. He decided to teach Lin Yixuan a lesson.
When the maid saw that her master had woken up, she hurriedly poured him tea and water, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked someone to prepare chicken soup.
Lin Yixuan opened her eyes in a daze, and after a while she realized where she was. She looked at the child with a gentle expression. This was the blood of him and her husband. Then she glanced around the room, but did not see the figure he was expecting. A look of disappointment flashed across her face, and she felt a little aggrieved and uncomfortable.
Seeing this, the maid said hurriedly, "Young Master, you are looking for my son-in-law. He just went out, so he should not have gone far. Otherwise, I will go and call him over."
Lin Yixuan shook her head and felt a little more at ease. Since Li Yaonan had just left, something must have happened. She felt that her husband would come over eventually, so there was no need to disturb him now.
Unexpectedly, he did not see Li Yaonan until the evening. He only learned from the maids that Li Yaonan had arranged for the steward to go to the capital.
Lin Yixuan felt a little sad in his heart. He always remembered Li Yaonan's cold eyes before he gave birth.
The next morning, Mrs. Zhang came over and when she saw Li Yaonan, she immediately scolded him and asked him what had happened as he couldn't even take care of his husband.
Li Yaonan was actually very wronged. Who could have known that his mother-in-law would send such a nanny. If you want to hide something, either hide it well. If you want to tell it, just tell it all at once. She was hesitant and evasive. Isn't this deliberately making people anxious? Moreover, Nanny Zhou's words were unclear. She only said that her brother-in-law broke his leg while riding a horse, but did not mention the cause and consequence at all, which caused Lin Yixuan to have a miscarriage at that time. When Li Yaonan thought about it now, he felt depressed.
Mrs. Zhang saw this and couldn't bear to blame her too much. This nephew was really pitiful. When her husband gave birth to a child, there was no one in the family to take charge. He was a man, how could he be as careful as a woman? Mrs. Zhang took over the power of the household and began to prepare a third-day bath banquet for her nephew.
Lin Yixuan woke up again and didn't see Li Yaonan. When he heard that Mrs. Zhang came to help, he could only suppress his disappointment and wait quietly.
But after two days, Lin Yixuan began to worry. Every time he woke up, Li Yaonan had just passed away. It was normal once or twice, but it happened for two days in a row. How could he not worry too much? After the baby's third birthday, Li Yaonan would go to Suzhou, and he didn't want to leave any grudges between them.
