Chapter 399 - 224 Disaster_3
By this time, Cheng Yue’s belly was conspicuously large, so she was no longer allowed to leave Wangjiang Building.
To ensure she got enough exercise for an easier childbirth, every day Qian Yixiu counted meticulously, making her walk from the east room to the west room in the morning, afternoon, and evening, with each session lasting at least two hundred laps.
It was pitiful to think of Auntie Yue confined inside, once not daring to leave the courtyard, now even the room was off-limits. To keep her from feeling lonely, Qian Yixiu, aside from attending classes, spent all his time with her. Qian Yeejin, once out of school, also came over to keep her company, chatting and telling her jokes. Furthermore, the sibling duo joined her for meals at Wangjiang Building three times a day.
With the companionship of her young brother and sister, and the humorous antics of Monkey Sister, Cheng Yue’s days were not so hard to endure.
On the evening of the thirteenth day, Su Erwei hurriedly arrived at Guiyuan with news that Qian Manxia had gone into labor. Lady Wu, frightened, quickly took Lady He and went to the Wan family.
It wasn’t until the next evening that Su Erwei returned with a message, announcing the young mistress of his house had given birth to a girl, both mother and daughter were safe. This brought relief and joy to the anxious faces of the Qian family.
Qian Yixiu wanted to visit Qian Manxia and her little cousin immediately, but Qian Sangui didn’t allow it, saying it was late and the Wan family was busy, telling her to go the next day instead.
Lady Wu didn’t return until after dark, knowing that Cheng Yue and her parents must be worried about Qian Manxia; she even made a special trip to Wangjiang Building.
She reported the baby girl weighed six and a half jin and was fair-skinned, unlike Wan Dazhong who was darker. The Wan father and son were extremely fond of the child, and did not show any neglect because she was a girl. Grandpa Wan had even chosen a name for the child, calling her Wan Fang.
