Chapter 898 - 899: Gone Without a Trace_1
After the baptism was completed, Grandma Lin and Granny Meng returned to the town.
However, Ms. Wang did not return to the Yang Family’s residence and stayed to attend to Yang Chuxia until she had completed her postpartum month.
"Mother, can I finally take a proper bath now?" It had been an entire month, and Ms. Wang had already told her what should not be done during the postpartum period. She wasn’t capricious and would not go against her own body, so she did whatever Ms. Wang told her to do and ate whatever was given to her.
Today was finally the last day, and it just so happened that tomorrow was the children’s full-month celebration. During the celebration, she needed to hold the children and take them out. She didn’t want to go out dirty, so she postponed the full-month celebration by one day.
Upon hearing this, Ms. Wang felt a bit troubled. "Xiaxia, your grand aunt mentioned just the other day that it is best to do a forty-day postpartum period for twins."
"Forget that, the grand aunt is just relying on old sayings." Yang Chuxia refused to comply with that, insisting no way she would agree to this; in her previous life, foreigners would have children without doing the postpartum month at all. She considered it good enough that she did a month. "Mingcui, Ming Liu, hurry up and boil the water, I want to clean up soon." As for Xiu’er, who had been by her side all this time, she found out a month ago that she was pregnant, so Yang Chuxia had her stay in the room to rest and take care of her pregnancy, planning for her to come back to serve after the baby was born. Now there were only the two maids left.
Seeing how eager Yang Chuxia was, Ms. Wang appeared somewhat helpless but knew she couldn’t stop her and simply let her do as she pleased.
After changing the water three times in the bath, Yang Chuxia finally returned to her room, her hair already half-dried. She rushed over to the infant bed to look at the two little "buns", "Hehe, can you smell if your mother is now fragrant? Ah, after being dirty for a month, I was too embarrassed to hold you."
As she playfully touched them, Ms. Wang watched her intently, afraid she might poke the babies and make them cry again. Seeing how nervous Ms. Wang was, Yang Chuxia sheepishly withdrew her hand.
Seeing her like this, Ms. Wang couldn’t help but laugh and sighed, "I think, in the future, these children really have to rely on Brother An. You...," Ms. Wang didn’t even know how to describe her.
And the very Brother An they were counting on was outside of Quanya, galloping on his horse back home.
"Young master, the next county is Quanya County." The guards mentioned during their rest.
"How long until we reach Quanya County?" Ye Zi’an asked.
"We’ll arrive at Quanya County Town around 9 p.m to 11 p.m.," one of the guards said.
At this, Ye Zi’an smiled, "Let’s first go to Quanya County Town. We’ll rest for the night at an inn there, and set out early in the morning. Before noon, we should be able to reach Yangshu Village."
He thought, if he kept rushing through the night, he would reach Yangshu Village in the middle of the night, which would wake up the family, so it was better to wait. He also decided not to go to the shop because they would be opening for business the next day, and it would be a disturbance. Unfortunately, this meant he missed the news about the twins’ birth a bit earlier.
After eating some dry food, they all mounted their horses and hurried towards Quanya. Sure enough, they reached Quanya County Town at the end of 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., and casually knocked on the door of an inn to stay overnight.
The next day, as dawn was just breaking, Ye Zi’an had the guards check out of the inn without even having breakfast, intending to head home immediately.
However, when the guards went to get the horses, they discovered that all three of their horses had disappeared without a trace.
Over this, Ye Zi’an’s mood was quite unpleasant, his face also grim and stern.
