Chapter 1067 - 452: Tingzheng Injured (Part 4)
When Yuehuan came over, she didn’t bring the child. Unlike Mingzhu, Yuehuan wasn’t as free; even if she wanted to take her son out, Second Madam Qian wouldn’t allow it.
Kexin was still lying in the bright red swaddle, and because she ate well and slept soundly every day, at just over two months old she was already as plump and chubby as a three or four-month-old child. No matter who teased her, she wouldn’t get upset; instead, she would smile sweetly. Yueyao even said that Kexin had no temper! But people really liked this child.
Yuehuan teased Kexin and asked, "Third sister, how do you raise your child? She’s so adorable!"
Little Kexin was teased into a fit of giggles.
Yueyao laughed and said, "Kexin looks so good, probably because I breastfeed her myself!" According to Nanny Hua, the reason little Kexin thrived was mainly due to Yueyao’s strong physique and balanced nutrition during pregnancy, making the child easy to raise.
Yuehuan had wanted to breastfeed herself, but unfortunately, Second Madam Qian did not agree. She wanted Yuehuan to quickly get healthy and try to give her more grandsons. There was a moment when Yuehuan felt she had become a tool for childbearing and sighed, "I also want a daughter who is so endearing." A daughter is a mother’s sweet companion, but in the environment of the Qian Mansion, it’s better to have more sons first before considering a daughter.
Yueyao smiled and asked about Yuehuan’s life at the Qian Mansion.
Yuehuan’s life at the Qian Mansion was better than before, but not exceptionally so. Most of the time, her son was with her mother-in-law. Apart from occasionally visiting someone, Yuehuan’s days in the Qian Mansion were filled mostly with eating and sleeping, and sparring with her sisters-in-law, making life quite dull.
Yueyao felt Yuehuan’s life was pretty good; all married women lived this way.
Yuehuan mentioned Yuebing, "Second sister’s life at the Marquis’ household has also improved considerably." Back then, Yuebing had a difficult mother-in-law and suffered a lot. Now, with her own management and having given birth to a son, her position had strengthened, and she no longer felt so constrained.
Yueyao smiled a bit, "Second sister’s Nanny Cui is not a simple person." With someone so capable by her side, and Yuebing not being a fool, life would surely only get better.
When Yuehuan went back, she took quite a bit of pastry with her, the kind that’s hard to find in the stores. Xiang Wei implemented a quota system; those delicious and popular pastries were sold only in limited amounts daily, and only available again the next day once sold out. As a result, no matter how wealthy, some people simply couldn’t buy them.
Xiang Wei said to Yueyao, "Fourth Miss, is very clever, much more so than you, young lady." The wealth of the Qian Mansion was famous in the Capital City, but Yuehuan could see the crisis within, prompting much admiration!
Yueyao smiled slightly, fortunate that Yuehuan was a person without ambition, content with a simple life, otherwise she would have already made a name for herself.
The days passed one by one, and soon it was June. Yueyao heard that the Empress was about to return to the palace, which meant Tingzheng would also be coming back.
Yueyao only worried that Tingzheng might get involved in a whirlpool, wanting him to advance steadily step by step and avoid such complications. What she didn’t anticipate was that, by being near the power center, even on its periphery, he might still get drawn in at any moment.
Upon hearing the news of Tingzheng’s injury and ensuing unconsciousness, Yueyao was stunned.
