Shen Yijia was speechless.

Knowing that she could not stay idle, Madam Li sat at the side and picked out something that interested her.

“Madam Qiu has taken MO Yuan’s medicine. She’s been feeling much better this year. Just now, she even got someone to send a visitation card. She said that you’ve just returned today, so you should rest well and she’ll visit you tomorrow.”

“And that girl Ruoshui gave birth to a fat boy in mid-December last year.” At the mention of Xiao Ruoshui, one could not help but think of Xiao Qirui and Yuan Yuwan.

Shen Yijia swallowed the food in her mouth and pursed her lips. “How’s Sister Yuwan? Is she still living in the village?”

Madam Li shook her head. “That child left after Ruosheng was done. She said that she wanted to relax, but she didn’t say where she was going. She only asked someone to send a letter home every month to report her safety. I’ve asked someone to investigate the caravan that brought the letter back. If I’m not wrong, she should have gone south.”

The south. Wasn’t Nanling Pass, or rather, the direction where Xiao Qirui’s bones were buried, in the south?

Shen Yijia suddenly felt depressed.

Madam Li also regretted mentioning this and quickly changed the topic. “Miaomiao and Lin Shao said that you found your biological mother. Why didn’t she come back with you?”

Shen Yijia told her about Ji Yunxi. In the end, she said, “I received a letter from my mother half a month ago. She should be here in two days.”

Traveling on horseback was faster than traveling with the army, not to mention that the army had been delayed for nearly half a month.

It was worth mentioning that Ji Luo and Xuanyuan Ce found Ji Yunxi in a small village east of the Wu Kingdom. When they arrived, no one in the village was alive.

Ji Luo did not say anything in the letter. She only said that Ji Yunxi wanted to change her fate.

Fortunately, everything was settled now, and Ji Yunxi had suffered the consequences she deserved. Otherwise, with her madness, she would have continued to harm others if she didn’t succeed.

Madam Li nodded. “Alright, it just so happens that you’re about to give birth. I’ll be more at ease with my in-laws around.” Seeing that Shen Yijia was full, she quickly asked the maidservant to remove the things. She stood up and said, “Rest in the house. I’ll get someone to tidy up a courtyard for my in-laws to stay in.”

“Thank you, Mother.”

As soon as Madam Li left, MO Yuan brought in a bowl of medicine.

“You added Blueheart Grass?” Shen Yijia asked.

“Yes.”

Shen Yijia was inexplicably nervous and rubbed her hands. “Let me do it.” The next morning, Ji Luo and Xuanyuan Ce arrived in Chang’an.

Ji Luo wanted to personally take care of Shen Yijia’s delivery, so she moved into the Duke’s residence.

With Xuanyuan Ce present, Madam Li was too embarrassed to ignore him, so she politely mentioned letting him stay. She thought that a grown man like him would be embarrassed, but as soon as Madam Li finished speaking, he agreed. He was afraid that Madam Li would go back on her word, making everyone present speechless.

Fortunately, Song Jinghao had grown up now. It wasn’t rude to have him entertain him.

Apart from that, not only did Madam Qiu come, but Xiao Ruoshui and Fan Mingyuan also brought their sons to visit.

Madam Qiu was purely visiting Shen Yijia, and Fan Mingyuan was also purely visiting Song Jingchen. Only Xiao Ruoshui was here to complain about her son, Fan Rui. He ate too much and had a bad temper. He cried whenever he couldn’t see her.

However, there was more or less a hint of bragging in her complaints. For the entire afternoon, the topic could not break away from the fat boy in her arms. When Shen Yijia heard this, she was extremely envious. She hoped that the baby in her stomach would come out quickly.

At night, a heavy rain suddenly fell in Chang’an.

Perhaps Shen Yijia’s thoughts in the day were too strong and were heard by the two little ones. About midnight, her stomach stirred.

She did not know what it was like for others to give birth, but her symptoms acted up quickly and fiercely. In the blink of an eye, she could clearly feel her water break.

Ji Luo had repeatedly reminded her not to move when her water broke. Shen Yijia could only call for someone to come in, but the rain was too loud and covered her voice.

Coincidentally, Shen Yijia’s heart ached for MO Yuan, who had stayed up all night yesterday to let her rest. It was Bi Tao, who served Madam Li, who guarded the door.

Otherwise, with MO Yuan’s hearing, she would have heard anything in the room. How could it end up in this situation?

Just as he was so anxious that she did not know what to do, a black shadow covered her.

Shen Yijia was stunned. “Hubby?”

“Yes.” Song Jingchen comforted her. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll call the midwife over now.”

If not for the fact that his hands were trembling, Shen Yijia would have thought that he was as calm as he looked.

“Wait, carry me to the delivery room first. It’s in the next room..”
