Chapter 187 Song Yunsheng and Feng Xin Escape
Upon hearing Song Yun say that his stomach hurt, Lin Shu didn't care about practicing calligraphy for a moment. She turned around, picked him up, and quickly headed towards the nearest courtyard.
As he walked, he kept instructing the servants outside to summon the doctor and surgeon who had been invited from the mansion, just in case.
The chubby boy, with a dirty little face, trotted behind Lin Shu, his chubby little body jiggling with every step.
Seeing that the chubby boy was panting heavily, but not wanting to slow down and wait for him, Lin Shu said gently, "Ayu, be good, just come slowly."
After saying that, Lin Shu sped up a bit more.
When Lin Shu placed Song Yun on the soft bed, she noticed that his face was pale and he was sweating profusely. Lin Shu sat on the edge of the bed, wiped the sweat from Song Yun's brow with her sleeve, and took his hand, saying:
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Mm." Song Yun nodded, but the cold sweat on his forehead did not lessen, because he felt guilty and at a loss—
Just now, when his wife was punishing him by making him copy texts, his stomach suddenly moved, which gave him a flash of inspiration. So he pretended to have a stomachache, but who knew that his wife and the others would react so strongly!
If my wife finds out I lied, she'll definitely be very angry. What should I do?
Just as Song Yun was still at a loss, the doctor and the surgeon entered at the same time, carrying the medicine box.
Song Yun felt even more nervous, and her stomach tightened in waves, with a sharp pain.
Soon! The doctor had finished taking Lin Shu's pulse, bowed to her, and said something that surprised Song Yun:
"My lord, the young master has started the illness ahead of schedule..."
"Huh?" Song Yun looked bewildered, thinking: Is she really going to give birth?
Lin Shu glanced at Song Yun's bewildered expression, thinking he was scared, and patted his hand reassuringly. She then said to the doctor and the surgeon, "Do as you see fit."
Seeing that Lin Shu didn't seem to intend to go out, the two didn't say much and began to prepare.
At the same time, Song Yun's mother, Song Ling, and father, Yun Shi, also rushed over after hearing the news. Yun Shi went straight in and then kicked Lin Shu out...
At the doorway, Lin Shu, who was pushed out and almost got her nose pinched, was speechless.
The three husbands who had been waiting at the door also gathered around.
Li Huanzhi was gently wiping the ink off the chubby boy's face with a handkerchief, while Su Mu looked at the closed door and asked Lin Shu:
"My lady, how is A-Yun? Is she about to give birth? Is she alright?"
Upon hearing this, Li Huanzhi and the chubby boy also turned to look at Lin Shu, seemingly waiting for her answer.
"Hmm." Lin Shu first nodded, indicating that Song Yun was about to give birth, then shook her head and said, "She should be fine."
"That's good!" Su Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Song Yun was actually still about ten days away from giving birth. The servant had just come to report that Song Yun was having abdominal pain, which startled him and Huanzhi.
Upon hearing this, Song Yun's mother felt somewhat relieved.
And inside the house.
Song Yun didn't suffer much pain when she gave birth to the child. The baby was exceptionally well-behaved this time, eating and sleeping well all day long. Apart from a slight stinging pain just now, it never hurt, let alone with the anesthetic...
The whole process took less than half an hour.
The doctor packed his things into his medicine chest and went out with the butler to announce the good news: "Congratulations, sir! Your son has given birth to a handsome little prince!"
Su Mu took out two silver ingots and handed them to the two men, who were overjoyed and showered them with compliments as if they were free.
Lin Shu smiled and turned to the doctor: "How is your health, sir?"
Doctor: "Don't worry, sir, the young master is in good health!"
"Hmm." Lin Shu waved her hand to let the two leave after hearing that Song Yun was alright, and then stepped into the house with Su Mu and the others to see Song Yun.
inside the house.
Song Yun was cleaned up and lay on the bed.
Standing to the side, Song's father, Yun, excitedly hugged the crumpled baby in the swaddle blanket, his face beaming with joy: "Oh my! My little grandson is so handsome! Just like me!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yun turned his head curiously, wanting to see just how handsome this son who looked like his father really was.
Seeing that he wanted to look, Madam Yun thoughtfully moved the child closer to Song Yun.
Song Yun looked at the child in front of her, who was wrinkled like a little old man, and then at the smiling Yun Shi. Her expression was indescribable, and she looked bitter: "Ugh! So ugly!"
"You little rascal, do you even know how to look? Look at our little grandson's little mouth, look at his eyebrows and eyes... how handsome he is!"
Upon hearing this, Yun felt a little itchy and really wanted to raise her hand to give this brat a couple of slaps, but she held back because he had just given birth. However, she immediately took the child back and wouldn't let Song Yun see it.
Song Yun pursed her lips, thinking to herself: I didn't say anything wrong! Look at how big An Si's eyes were when she was born, how smooth her skin was, how chubby she was, how incredibly cute she was, that's what you call beautiful!
When Lin Shu and the others came in, they saw Song Yun staring at Yun Shi and the child in his arms, looking sullen. They couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What's wrong with A-Yun?"
"Waaah... My wife, come quick! I gave birth to an ugly baby!" Song Yun felt aggrieved when she saw Lin Shu come in. Her wife was so beautiful, and she was just as good-looking, so how could she have given birth to an ugly baby?
"Pfft..." Su Mu and the others couldn't help but chuckle.
Lin Shu had already approached and taken the child from Yun Shi's arms. She looked at the child; it was tiny, much smaller than An Si had been. Its eyes were still half-closed, and it looked extremely fragile...
Lin Shu raised a hand and gently touched the child in her arms, saying in a serious and gentle tone, "Not ugly, very handsome."
Song Yun asked doubtfully, "Really? Let me see!" Had she not looked carefully enough?
Lin Shu sat on the edge of the bed with the child in her arms. Seeing this, Su Mu wanted Lin Shu to keep Song Yun company, so he invited Song's parents to the front hall for tea!
The sounds of Lin Shu and Song Yun talking could still be heard from afar...
Finally, Song Yun seemed to be convinced and found the child more and more handsome the more she looked at him!
Lin Shu had already decided on the child's name—Lin Yizhou.
Lin Shu told me that the name was taken from the line: "The south wind knows my heart, blowing my dreams to the western continent." Song Yun thought it sounded wonderful and was very satisfied with the name!
With the addition of a new member to the family, the Lin residence unexpectedly became more lively...
but,
Not long after, a major event occurred in the palace—
I heard that the eldest princess, Feng Xin, who was demoted to a commoner and placed under house arrest in the Jiaofangsi (a government-run entertainment district), has actually escaped!
Moreover, she traveled south until the other party crossed the border between Fengming and Nanli—Zhennan Pass—before she was discovered...
However, when they discovered her, the eldest princess had already entered the territory of Nanli. The local garrison could not easily pursue her and could only report to the emperor!
Not far from Zhennan Pass, in a town within the territory of Nanli, the eldest princess Feng Xin, supporting Aru, a woman in black who had lost an arm while saving her, followed a group of people into a private room of an inn.
After the door to the side room closed, Feng Xin looked at the young man sitting in the main seat, dressed in a golden brocade robe, wearing a fox-shaped gold-threaded mask that revealed only half of his handsome face. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she opened her mouth and said:
"Thank you for saving us, young master. We are traveling merchants who travel between countries. We were being hunted down because we offended the great figure Feng Ming. Fortunately, we were saved by you, young master."
We have no way to repay your life-saving grace! We two are willing to follow your lead from now on, sir, in order to repay your kindness!
Looking at the extraordinary guards surrounding the man before her, Feng Xin realized that his status in the Southern Li Kingdom must be quite high, and a plan came to her mind.
However, this was the first time she had ever begged someone so humbly, and the humiliation in her eyes was impossible to hide.
The man wearing the fox mask chuckled, rested his chin on his hand, and looked down at the hypocritical Feng Xin with a half-smile. His voice was languid and magnetic:
"Ha! You seem to have misunderstood! I didn't want to save you; it was you who—intruded into my group, forcing me to save you!"
A flash of coldness crossed Feng Xin's eyes. Before she could say anything more, the person at the head of the table lazily smoothed a strand of hair from his chest and continued:
"However, being my servant is a good idea, so stay!"
"You...you..." Feng Xin was furious, pointing at the masked man but unable to speak for a long time!
"Hmm?" The masked man's voice suddenly became solemn and oppressive. Feng Xin looked at the unconscious woman in black in her arms and had no choice but to lower her head in humiliation and acquiesce.
Seeing this, the masked man waved his hand dismissively, feigning boredom: "This young master is going to rest. Get out."
“Yes, young master…” Feng Xin answered almost through gritted teeth.
After everyone left, the man inside looked at the closed door and muttered something sarcastic:
"Feng Xin? Ha! She's actually come all the way to Nanli!"
Tsk tsk! Still as pretentious as ever!
"If that's the case, I'll grant your wish and see how long you can keep up this act!"
