Chapter 33

Wan Qiu gave birth to a boy prematurely. Although the process was full of twists and turns, fortunately, Shan Yu was there, and both mother and son were safe.

It was a cold spring day in February, and a cold moon shone on the window curtain, making it look white.

When Shan Yu came in with the medicinal soup, Wan Qiu was breastfeeding the infant child with red eyes.

Shuanger already had low milk supply, but he was in bad health and gave birth prematurely. He pinched the skin of both nipples and squeezed out only a small amount of juice the size of a soybean, and he cried anxiously.

“You’re in confinement, don’t cry, you may hurt your eyes.” Shan Yu advised in a warm voice, put down the bowl and wanted to hug the baby but was dodged.

After giving birth to the child, Wan Qiu didn’t speak much, and he didn’t let Shan Yu touch the child. He only cried every day.

Wan Qiu felt bad. He could bear any grievances he suffered on weekdays, but his child was his heart and soul, and he couldn’t bear it.

Whenever Wan Qiu saw the child in his arms who was as skinny as a cat, looked so pitiful and couldn’t even cry, Wan Qiu felt heartbroken, blamed himself, and resented Shan Yu uncontrollably.

He blamed him for giving him hope and he hated Shan Yu’s kindness to Lian Zhou which hurt him and the baby.

Wan Qiu thought of those bad things again, which made him tremble with anger, and his tears flowed more fiercely.

“Didn’t I tell you before that I went to the town to find a wet nurse for the child? I picked her up just now and was warming up next door. Give the child to me…” Shan Yu saw Wan Qiu’s back was turned to him, not knowing whether he was listening or not, he asked tentatively: “Wan Qiu?”

Wan Qiu didn’t speak for a long time, and then said: “Let her come to my room, I have to watch the child.”

“Why are you so difficult?” Shan Yu smiled and said, “There are no outsiders in the house, it’s fine to take the baby out of your room.”

“Are you ready to take Zhou Ge’er in?”

“No, I…”

“Since he’s not married in, then he is an outsider, husband. You regard him as one of your own, but I feel very uneasy.”

Shan Yu heard the meaning of Wan Qiu’s words and frowned: “Who do you think Lian Zhou is? Could it be that he can harm a newborn baby?”

“I don’t know who he is,” Wan Qiu turned his back to Shan Yu, his voice trembling with grievance: “I only know that he robbed my husband and caused my child to be born premature. I don’t even have milk for my child, I hate him.” He couldn’t fight Lian Zhou, so he had to guard against him.

Shan Yu had nothing to say to Wan Qiu, so he propped himself up on the bed and hugged the child: “Give me the baby first, he is hungry and needs to be fed.”

Wan Qiu didn’t want to, he sobbed: “You only have Zhou Ge’er in your heart, do you still care about whether your son is hungry?”

This was probably the mother’s strong will!

Previously, Wan Qiu didn’t dare to express his anger in front of Shan Yu, but now that he had a child, he suddenly turned into a hedgehog, and his words were so prickly that Shan Yu couldn’t say a word.

“Husband, why are you silent? Do you have nothing to say to me?” Wan Qiu tilted his head, and the birthmark on his forehead looked slightly ferocious under the tears. “That’s right, husband’s smile and good temper are all for others. It’s me who doesn’t deserve it.”

Shan Yu: “…”

‘Okay, both of you are the ancestor, and I’m the servant. It’s all my fault. I admit defeat, I apologize, and I’m leaving.’

.

Because Wan Qiu was overprotective with the child and always angry when he saw him, Shan Yu could only arrange for the wet nurse to move into the main house, while he moved next room, he didn’t even show his face.

Everything went according to Shan Yu’s wishes but Wan Qiu was not satisfied at all.

The wet nurse understood clearly. Over time, she became familiar with Wan Qiu, so she kindly advised him:

“I have been to many homes, and I have never seen any man hovering around the stove, nor have I seen any man treat his wife like this. Don’t be ignorant of your blessings… Look at the food you eat. Even among the rich people in the town, no one has been served a bowl of bird’s nest every day. I’ve seen that Zhou Ge’er, he’s so good-looking. But the vermilion on his eyebrows hasn’t fallen off yet, which means your man hasn’t touched him yet… Men are lustful. If he hasn’t touched him now, it means he hasn’t tasted it. If he has, don’t blame me for saying it, just wait for you to be kicked out!”

Wan Qiu had been crying for the whole month, and now his eyes couldn’t hold back even when he was slightly emotional. It was obviously the root cause of his illness.

He looked at the sleeping child next to him without saying anything. After a long time, he said aggrievedly: “He doesn’t even come to see me, nor does he look at the child…”

“Isn’t that why you don’t give others a good face?” The wet nurse smiled: “He came in when you were asleep today. He saw the baby wanted to nurse, so he didn’t stay long and left.”

Wan Qiu sniffed and asked hurriedly: “Really? My husband really came to see me.”

“Why would I lie to you?” The wet nurse showed Wan Qiu the cakes on the table: “These are all brought by your man for you to eat.”

Wan Qiu had no appetite during the confinement period. He could still force himself to eat a few more mouthfuls to breastfeed the child. Later, when he had a wet nurse, he barely ate his meals every day. Therefore, while others would be fat during confinement, he actually lost a lot of weight.

The wet nurse saw Wan Qiu staring at the cakes in a daze and weeping, and she felt a little pity for him. She immediately went to find Shan Yu, no one knew what the two of them said. That night, the wet nurse moved the baby to the next room, and Shan Yu helped her packed up and returned to the main house.

The two of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time, and they were both a little embarrassed. Wan Qiu broke the silence first and asked Shan Yu with red eyes: “Husband is finally willing to come back?”

What could Shan Yu say to him?

‘Don’t you want to see me? Aren’t willing to give me a good face? Why do I not want to come back here? Isn’t this deliberately picking on me?’@@novelbin@@

However, since Wan Qiu was still in confinement, Shan Yu decided not to say anything to avoid making him angry.

He took off his shoes and went to bed. He took a look at Wan Qiu’s face first, then took his pulse. He frowned and said, “I told you not to cry. Just wait until you cry until blind.”

Wan Qiu pursed his lips and said, “Even if I’m blind from crying. Why does it matter? Is it possible that my husband still feels sorry for me?”

Shan Yu frowned: “I found you can speak really well since you gave birth to the child, hm? Did I provoke you somewhere?”

“Isn’t it possible?”

Shan Yu and Wan Qiu looked at each other, and Shan Yu’s whole body tingled with his question, as if he really had done something to Wan Qiu, although it was true that he had caused his premature birth. But he, he was not the real Shan Yu!

The reason why he was able to take care of Wan Qiu until now was entirely because he took over the body of the original owner, so he took on the joint responsibility. After Wan Qiu gave birth to a child and the confinement period was over, he… didn’t want to endure it anymore.

“Okay! You can do whatever you want!” Shan Yu picked up the quilt and left, angrily deliberately irritating Wan Qiu: “I will sleep with Lian Zhou, and you can cry alone, cry your eyes out until blind.”
