Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 379 Little Fish

When Su Qingwan woke up, her body was in so much pain that she couldn't move. Her delivery had gone smoothly, and the bleeding had stopped. Apart from the pain, she felt alright. The baby was sleeping beside her, wrapped in swaddling clothes. The baby had jet-black hair, closed eyes, and some downy hair on its face. It was chubby and very cute. It was too small to tell who the baby looked like. This tiny pink bundle touched the softest part of Su Qingwan's heart. This was her and Lu Jing's child.

She had almost forgotten the pain of giving birth to him, and had even said she didn't want to have another child. But now, looking at the tiny pink bundle, she thought that if she could have such a cute child after two days of pain, she could have another one. She had plenty of energy.

"Boy or girl?"

Qingyun said, "Miss, it is the young master."

Qingyun couldn't hide her joy. Of course, she felt sorry for her daughter. She had a little prince with her first child, so she didn't feel any pressure. Besides, Su Qingwan herself liked boys, so it was like her wish had come true.

She dared not tell Su Qingwan about Su Nianqing. She had to wait until the young lady recovered. Childbirth was a brush with death, so she needed to take good care of herself. During this time, the Princess sent someone to invite her again. Qingyun told the person directly that the young lady needed to rest after giving birth.

The eldest princess stopped sending people. Qingyun wasn't from the Huainan Prince's Mansion, and her loyal person was Su Qingwan. She prioritized Su Qingwan in everything, so she slowed down her efforts regarding Su Nianqing.

Three days later, Su Qingwan's health had improved and she was able to walk. Qingyun, Liyue, and the others kept calling her "Little Yu'er," and her nickname became "Little Fish."

Little Fish opened her eyes. Her eyebrows and eyes resembled Lu Jing's. Su Qingwan liked her at first sight and loved to kiss her. No woman from a high-ranking family had the habit of feeding her child herself, but Su Qingwan insisted on feeding her herself and prepared two wet nurses. Qingyun personally checked them.

Her main concern was that Su Qingwan wouldn't sleep well at night. Little Yu'er needed to drink milk every hour, which would disturb Su Qingwan's sleep. If Su Qingwan didn't rest well during her postpartum period, her health would be difficult to recover. Zhang Shi also advised Su Qingwan not to get up at night and to have the wet nurse feed her. She tried it for one night but gave up; it was indeed very tiring. She was still feeling unwell and didn't want to get up at night, except when her breasts were very engorged.

Fortunately, Xiaoyuer was very well-behaved, eating and sleeping without causing much trouble. He was also healthy, and the imperial physicians were all in the mansion, frequently taking his pulse and looking after his daily life, which made things much easier for Su Qingwan.

When Qingyun never mentioned Su Nianqing, Su Qingwan felt something was off and asked Qingyun if the princess had sent anyone over later. Qingyun dared not hide the truth and told her the truth.

Su Qingwan's expression darkened slightly as she asked Li Yue, "Have you received any letters from home recently?"

Li Yue shook her head. Lu Jing's letters home were very regular, one every three days. She hadn't received any letters these past few days. Su Qingwan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Nianqing had really had an accident?

She glanced back at the baby in swaddling clothes, her heart aching. A new life had just been born, yet she had received such devastating news. This was something Su Qingwan couldn't accept. She had experienced too much separation from loved ones, and she loathed being separated from her family. The thought of being separated by death would be a lifelong pain for her.

Su Qingwan wrote a letter and asked Li Yue to deliver it to the Princess. She was still in confinement after childbirth and could not go out. The wind had been strong these past few days, making it even more difficult for her to move around. Even if she wanted to go out, Zhang Shi and the imperial physician would stop her.

Qingyun said, "Miss, I'm sorry, I took it upon myself to make this decision."

"It's none of your business. I'm giving birth, and even if you told me, there's nothing I can do." Since there's no letter from home, he can only hope that the princess will send some definite news.
