Chapter 163 Happiness
Wei stayed in the marquis's mansion for a few days and then left in disgrace.
She came empty-handed and left empty-handed.
It was her first time leaving Kyoto empty-handed. In the past, Zhou would always prepare a lot of things for her to take back.
Now that he is the head of the Su family, he has nothing.
From now on, they won’t have to come to Kyoto to suffer humiliation again.
After sending Wei away, Su Yuan felt refreshed both physically and mentally. In the past, she had been taken advantage of by the Zhou family and had to swallow her anger. Now that she didn't have to do anything against her will, she was naturally happy.
In mid-July, Su Yuan was about to give birth.
She had already prepared a midwife and a wet nurse, and even found a doctor.
The two doctors were Mr. Yan from Qianmiaotang and Mr. Yan’s granddaughter Qiqi.
Although Qiqi is only fourteen years old, her medical skills are no worse than those of other doctors.
She would occasionally give Qiqi some advice, and Qiqi was smart and understood it quickly.
The most important thing is that Qiqi likes to practice medicine, and maybe she will be more powerful than Mr. Yan and her in the future.
When Qiqi grows up a little, she will pass on the needlework skills she learned to Qiqi.
Everything is ready, just waiting to be launched.
Cheng Lang has been accompanying her openly these past few days, but only as a guard in the palace.
He was wearing a mask, and the servants only thought that Cheng Lang was Su Yuan's personal bodyguard. Since the lady was about to give birth, it was natural to find a personal bodyguard to guard her, so as to prevent the incident of the crown prince being replaced from happening again.
When no one was around, Cheng Lang supported Su Yuan and walked in the yard.
"You are about to give birth, why do you insist on walking in the yard? You should lie down in the house and rest." Cheng Lang carefully protected Su Yuan, fearing that Su Yuan would fall.
Su Yuan disagreed, "It's precisely because I'm about to give birth that I can't be lazy, but... starting tomorrow, I won't take a walk."
Her due date is in these few days. Starting tomorrow, she will stay in the room to wait for delivery.
She has made so many preparations, so everything will definitely go well.
Su Yuan has confidence in herself.
Five days later, Su Yuan's belly finally showed signs of pregnancy.
Cheng Lang, who was standing aside, was so frightened that he stood there at a loss as to what to do.
Su Yuan didn't count on him, she arranged everything in an orderly manner.
From the hour of You to the hour of Xu, after two hours, Su Yuan successfully gave birth to a baby girl.
Su Yuan lay exhausted on the bed, she didn't even have the strength to raise her hands.
But she was still clear-headed. She watched the two midwives working together and the maids working hard, and soon the room was cleaned up.
The baby drank the milk and fell into a deep sleep.
The nurse brought the baby to Su Yuan and said, "Madam, the young lady has fallen asleep. Look, she is fair and tender, and looks so pretty. She looks just like you."
The wet nurse looked at the baby in her arms with a doting look on her face. She really loved the little girl in her arms.
She gave birth to a son, and both of her children were sons.
Now she has to work as a wet nurse for two sons in a wealthy family.
Her heart melted when she saw the pretty little master.
Su Yuan reached out and hugged her daughter. Looking at her daughter who was sleeping soundly, her face was full of smiles. She suddenly felt that all the hard work just now was worth it!
She also has a sweet little cotton-padded jacket.
"You go back and rest first. Come back when I need you to take care of Chuchu." Su Yuan asked the wet nurse to go back and rest first. She would probably need the wet nurse to take care of the child at night.
The nurse smiled and said, "Madam, is Chuchu the young lady's name?"
"Gu Ruchu! How is it?" Su Yuan asked.
The nurse smiled awkwardly, "Madam, please don't tease me. I only know a few words, how can I give you advice? The one you choose is naturally the best."
Su Yuan didn't say anything more and asked the wet nurse to go back and rest.
After the wet nurse left, Cheng Lang came in.
He couldn't wait to get close to Su Yuan and her daughter, and quietly looked at his daughter in Su Yuan's arms.
Cheng Lang remained calm on the surface, but his heart was already surging with emotion.
This is his daughter! His precious daughter.
"Yuan'er, thank you for your hard work." Cheng Lang looked at Su Yuan, his eyes full of heartache.
They just want one daughter and no more children!
He will choose an adopted son to inherit the Duke's Mansion and have him take good care of his sister in the future.
"Although it's a bit hard, I think it's worth it." Su Yuan stared at her daughter intently, the joy and excitement in her heart far outweighing the hard work and fatigue.
"Let me hug you?" Cheng Lang asked cautiously.
Su Yuan glanced at him and asked, "Can you hug me?"
"Try it." Cheng Lang gently carried his daughter over.
Looking at Cheng Lang's skilled appearance, Su Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"When did you practice secretly?" Su Yuan asked.
Cheng Lang did not answer, but looked at his daughter in his arms tenderly.
Of course, he had practiced secretly in private, and he was determined to be a perfect father!
Otherwise, how could his daughter be close to him if she didn't have his surname and wasn't with him?
He had to work harder than an ordinary father to get his daughter.
"Shall we name our daughter Gu Ruochu? How about Cheng Ruochu? Li Ruochu is fine too! Why must she have the surname Gu?" Cheng Lang felt a little jealous.
He had already prepared himself mentally, but when it really came to this, he still felt sour in his heart.
Su Yuan pursed her lips slightly, "Yu'er's last name is Gu, and I think Chuchu has the same last name as her brother."
Gu Zhiquan is not the only one in the world with the surname Gu.
Her daughter's surname is Gu, and she has nothing to do with Gu Zhiquan.
The lords of Zhennan Marquisate are all great heroes of Dongyu.
Hearing this, Cheng Lang felt a little better.
That makes sense! Gu Yu's last name is Gu, and it's no problem for his daughter to have the same last name as her brother.
Never mind! Gu Ruochu is Gu Ruochu.
"Chu Chu! Daddy's good daughter." Cheng Lang's smile gradually brightened.
Su Yuan stared at Cheng Lang. She felt a little complicated and suddenly felt a little sorry for Cheng Lang.
Cheng Lang...
She felt that Cheng Lang was a bit pitiful because he always indulged her.
Su Yuan reached out and held Cheng Lang's arm.
Cheng Lang looked up at her, and their eyes met. Cheng Lang understood the heartache in Su Yuan's eyes.
He was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Su Yuan bit her lip, her nose sore, "I am a little uncomfortable, I want to sleep for a while, my daughter is in your hands now, if she is hungry or wet, you can give her to the wet nurse."
"Okay! Go to sleep. My daughter and I will stay here to watch over you." Cheng Lang stretched out a hand and touched Su Yuan's face.
Su Yuan was indeed tired and sleepy, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Cheng Lang occasionally looked at Su Yuan, and occasionally looked down at his daughter in his arms, and suddenly felt happy and fulfilled.
The next day, Su Yuan woke up and saw Cheng Lang lying on the edge of the bed. She reached out and touched Cheng Lang's head.
Cheng Liang looked up at her. "Are you awake? Are you feeling better?"
Su Yuan nodded and said, "I feel much better after a good sleep."
Of course, my whole body still hurts.
She knew she had to rest slowly to recover.
"Where is my daughter? When did you hand her over to the wet nurse?" Su Yuan missed her the moment she saw the child.
