Chapter 583 Fang's Childbirth!
Mu Xin Nuan smiled slightly, knowing that her aunt must know everything. "Actually, you can't blame my eldest cousin's wife. It was all Mu Xin Yao's doing. She's incredibly cunning. It's understandable that my eldest cousin's wife trusted her. After all, she had never met her before and didn't know how wicked she was."
"Anuan, it's good that you think this way. Thank you, Aunt."
"Why are you being so polite, Aunt? By the way, my cousin's wife just had a baby and needs to rest during her postpartum period. I was just about to discuss this with you."
Liu was slightly surprised. "Are you talking about the full-month celebration?"
"Yes, my eldest cousin's wife is in Yanzhou now, so the full moon celebration should naturally be held there. However, my uncle and maternal grandmother are in the capital, so the celebration can't be skipped either. So, what does my aunt mean?"
"Oh, I discussed it with my mother before coming here. My mother's idea is to hold the ceremony here first, and then in a few months, when the child is a bit older, we can go back to the capital and hold a banquet there. My mother's concern is that if a child receives too much good fortune, he might not be able to handle it."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "The full moon celebration will naturally be held at the Chang Le Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, Madam Liu immediately objected, "No way! She is my Li family's daughter-in-law, how can this be done in the Chang Le Prince's Mansion? If word gets out, it won't be good for your reputation. What if someone uses this to cause trouble? Wouldn't that be a real problem?"
“Auntie, you’re overthinking it. The banquet will be held at a restaurant outside. Aze has already discussed this with my eldest cousin. It’s just that it would be better if my cousin’s wife stayed at home for the full moon celebration. The baby is too young, and it would be bad if someone were to bump into her again.”
Liu hesitated, realizing that Mu Xin Nuan's words made sense.
"Your Highness, Madam Li, the young mistress has started her operation." Aunt Fang's voice came through as soon as she lifted the curtain.
Liu's hand trembled, and the things that were on her lap fell to the ground. She and Mu Xin Nuan exchanged a glance, and without saying anything more, they both ran over there.
Li Haoran was also summoned back by an order from Duanmu Chuze.
Now he's pacing back and forth outside the delivery room, looking worried and distressed, and several times he's almost wanted to rush in.
Seeing him like this, Mu Xin Nuan felt a little more at ease and whispered, "A Ze, look at how my cousin is. His feelings for his sister-in-law are genuine."
Duanmu Chuze glanced at Li Haoran, snorted coldly, and thought, "This kid knows what's good for him."
Now that he has a wife, he won't be thinking about his Ah Nuan anymore. Otherwise, he'd see how he dealt with him!
"Of course he's anxious when his wife gives birth. If I were anxious, wouldn't you be furious?"
Hearing his irreverent speech, Mu Xin Nuan glared at him fiercely, "You don't say a single serious word!"
After a while, there was still no movement. Mu Xin Nuan became a little anxious and grabbed Aunt Fang beside her, "Why has it been so long and there's still no movement? Is there any danger?"
Mu Xin Nuan dared not raise her voice too much, for fear that Liu Shi and Li Hao Ran would hear her again and go berserk once more.
Aunt Fang whispered, "Your Highness, there's no need to worry. This is normal for women giving birth. Especially since this is your first child, it will naturally take longer. It won't be this difficult when you have your second or third child."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "I was just worried and confused, I felt a little nervous. By the way, is the chicken soup and stuff I asked you to prepare ready?"
"Your Highness, please rest assured, all the necessary medicines and supplements for childbirth are prepared. Even the wet nurse is here waiting."
Duanmu Chuze gently took her small hand. "Don't worry, everything will be alright. Didn't you check her pulse before, and everything was normal?"
Mu Xin Nuan was now somewhat uncertain. "I only saw that their pulses were stable, but I don't know anything about the delivery itself."
About half an hour later, people were seen carrying out basins of bloody water from the house, followed by basins of hot water being carried in.
Li Haoran finally couldn't sit still any longer.
"Why is it taking so long? And there's so much blood? Is it a difficult labor? Oh? Are you alright?"
Li Haoran stood up and grabbed the hand of a nanny, refusing to let her leave.
"Cousin, let go first. They're busy inside, aren't they? Don't rush. Let the nanny go in first, otherwise how will she help your wife give birth?"
Madam Fang hesitated for a moment, discussed it with Madam Liu for a few words, and then the two went inside together.
Before long, a cry was heard. The sound was quite loud, and from the voice, one could guess that it belonged to a young master.
Sure enough, the midwife brought out a baby in swaddling clothes. "Congratulations, Young Master Li! Congratulations! Madam is doing well and has given birth to a handsome little boy."
Li Haoran tremblingly took the child and held him for a moment, feeling a lump in his throat. This was his son! He had an heir, a son!
"Quickly, send a letter to the capital immediately, to Father and Grandfather, to tell them that both mother and child are safe."
"Yes, son."
Mu Xin Nuan and Duanmu Chu Ze also came forward and teased the little baby. Looking at the chubby little baby, Mu Xin Nuan felt a little sour. When would she be able to have a baby like that?
"So ugly! It's all wrinkled, what's so good about it?" Duanmu Chuze sneered.
Li Haoran's arm stiffened, then he retorted defiantly, "Where is he ugly? How handsome is my son? Didn't you hear what the midwife just said?"
"They were just flattering you, otherwise would they have given you a tip? You're so stupid!"
Hearing this, Liu, who had just come out of the delivery room, laughed and said, "All newborn babies look like this. They'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan was reminded of her wet nurse.
Liu took the baby and led the four wet nurses back to the courtyard. Li Haoran and Madam Fang stayed in the delivery room to take care of the baby, along with several servants, waiting for Madam Fang to wake up, take her medicine, and then she could return to her own courtyard.
Duanmu Chuze carried Mu Xin Nuan back to Yijing Garden. Seeing the envious look on her face, he knew she was thinking about having a child again.
"Ah Nuan, you also think that child is beautiful? Why does he look so ugly to me?"
"Where is he ugly? Aunt is right, all babies are born like that. They'll grow out of it. But you, why did you say those things to my cousin? He just became a father, he should be happy. But you, you came up with some nasty words! If you can't say nice things, you shouldn't even open your mouth in the future!"
Seeing that she seemed genuinely annoyed, Duanmu Chuze quickly coaxed her, "Okay, Nuan, I just can't stand his smug look. Humph! So what if he's going to be a father? I'll be one sooner or later."
