Chapter 211 Falling Flowers
Chapter 211 Falling Flowers
Gu Qingyuan yawned and was indeed a little sleepy. "Okay, if you need anything, send someone to call me."
"Okay." Ji Mingzhao nodded and smiled at her gently again.
After Gu Qingyuan returned home, she fell asleep immediately. Chunfen asked her to have breakfast before going to bed, but she said "okay". When Chunfen brought breakfast over, he saw that she had already fallen asleep.
Knowing that Gu Qingyuan had stayed at Ji Cefu's place for a whole night and needed rest, Chunfen did not wake her up. Instead, he quietly added some charcoal to the stove to make the room warmer.
……
"Master, I've already found out that Ji Cefu gave birth to a boy!"
Yu Shui came back from outside and couldn't wait to share the good news with Wen Shubai before she even approached him.
"boy?"
"Yes, but the young master was there to take care of her all night last night, and he even sent someone to invite the nanny over overnight. Now the young master should be resting in his room."
After Gu Qingyuan asked Yu Shui to bring Wen Shubai back last night, he had been staying in his room. Now, after hearing that Ji Mingzhao had given birth to a boy, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Yushui, go and deliver some supplements to Ji Cefu in my name."
Yu Shui quickly responded, "Okay, Master. Concubine Ji has just given birth, so please send him some supplements. The people in the mansion will definitely praise you for your generosity."
"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly. Remember to bring some ginseng and ganoderma lucidum or something."
Somehow, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at his stomach.
He knew that his wife hated the fighting in the harem the most, and he was not so cruel as to attack them when he knew that it was not easy for men to survive in this world.
She was usually very busy, and he didn't want to make her worry about things at home.
Ji Mingzhao was sitting on the bed and had just eaten something when he suddenly heard the sound of rain coming towards Wen Shubai.
Then, he saw Yu Shui coming to his room with a lot of supplements.
"What is this?" Ji Mingzhao asked with some confusion.
"Mr. Ji, this is something our master asked me to give you. He said it's for your health."
Ji Mingzhao smiled gratefully and said, "Then please thank your master for me."
After delivering the things, the rain went back.
The servant beside Ji Mingzhao went over to look through the things and said in surprise, "There are so many ginseng, ganoderma lucidum and bird's nest!"
"Well, he really has a heart."
During her pregnancy, Ji Mingzhao was always worried that something might happen to her child. After all, when he was in the Ji family, he had seen too many open and secret struggles, and he thought that the master would not tolerate the children of his concubines.
But after being in the Gu family for so long, he found that everyone kept to themselves. They might visit during the holidays, and Wen Shubai had even taken the initiative to show concern for him before, although it was only for his wife's sake.
He doesn't think he has that much nerve, it's all because of his wife.
So he was very grateful to Gu Qingyuan and others.
After dinner, Ji Mingzhao felt his eyelids twitching, so he lay down and slept for a while.
In the next room, Luohua looked at the valuable paintings hanging on the wall and the vases in the room, greed in her eyes.
The Gu family is really rich. They offered him five taels of silver a month to take good care of the child.
He only needed to feed and coax the child, and the servants would do everything else.
And even though it was a boy, Young Master Gu didn't show any disgust at all, which was really rare.
His eyes rolled, and he heard that Young Master Gu's wife was also pregnant, and his concubine had just given birth.
Humph, women can’t help themselves.
Although I am old, I still have some looks.
Luohua touched her face.
The child, perhaps because he was hungry, started crying again. Luo Hua said impatiently, "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry."
But he spoke very softly, not daring to let other people in the room hear.
But the child didn't seem hungry. Luohua called someone over with disdain and said in a domineering tone, "You come and change his diaper."
After that, he had no intention of taking care of the child.
She even secretly bought rouge and powder, thinking that her appearance would be no worse than that of Young Master Gu's husband.
If he could stay in the Gu family, even if he could only warm her bed, it would be better than his life outside.
After Ji Mingzhao felt better, he asked someone to help him get out of bed.
Although he was very disappointed that he gave birth to a boy, it was still his own flesh and blood after all, his child with her. Now that he was feeling better, it was only right for him to go and see the child.
Ji Mingzhao came to the next room, but smelled a low-quality fragrance. He frowned and saw Luohua, the nanny hired by Gu Qingyuan, applying makeup in front of the mirror.
Shouldn't a nanny's job be to take care of the child? Ji Mingzhao was full of doubts, but he didn't ask too much.
Until someone reminded Luohua: "Mr. Ji is coming."
Luohua then turned around and glanced at Ji Mingzhao.
Even though his face was a little pale after giving birth, it was difficult to conceal his stunning appearance. He looked much more handsome than herself even without makeup, which made Luohua feel jealous.
Humph, so what, he gave birth to a boy.
If I could bear a girl, maybe I could take his place.
Ji Mingzhao looked at the child and reached out to hug him, but Luohua immediately stopped him, saying, "That's not how you hold him. You have to support his head and body."
After saying that, he demonstrated it to Ji Mingzhao.
When Luohua walked over, the inferior fragrance became stronger, and Ji Mingzhao felt a little dizzy.
If this is the case for adults, what about children?
When Luohua approached the child, he cried and wanted to find his father.
Ji Mingzhao said, "I understand. Leave the child to me."
Luohua then handed the child to him.
The child lay in Ji Mingzhao's arms. The familiar breath made him feel at ease and he stopped crying immediately.
Ji Mingzhao reminded: "The child is still young and can't stand such a strong fragrance. Why don't you..."
He wanted to ask Luohua to put on less makeup, but Luohua was not happy.
"Hey, what are you talking about? You won't let me dress up just because I'm taking care of your kids?"
Ji Mingzhao explained: "That's not what I meant."
Luo Hua continued to nag, "Or are you just a stingy person? You can't stand seeing me like this, and you're worried that I'll seduce your wife away. Humph, if Young Master Gu knew you were a jealous husband, he would definitely divorce you."
"I really didn't mean that!" Ji Mingzhao was a little anxious. He didn't want his wife to think he was stingy.
"Hmph, I think you are." Luohua snorted coldly.
Ji Mingzhao held the child and moved away from Luohua. He looked at the child's eyebrows and eyes and found that they looked a bit like hers, and he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
