Ren Yingying could no longer bear to watch and, unable to tolerate it any longer, ordered the midwife to wrap her daughter up properly.
Was Qu Nian's behavior a sign that love had clouded his judgment?
Ren Yingying urged Qu Nian to get ready quickly and decided that for the next month, she wouldn't let Qu Nian touch her with his hands!
The best thing to do is send him to do laundry for a month!
Qu Hua was especially happy to have a new addition to the family.
--It's all because her older brother is incompetent; that's why it took her so long to be promoted in the seniority system.
Now she's not the youngest in the family anymore.
I can never get enough of looking at my adorable little niece.
Ren Yingying asked her, "What are your plans with Mu Ziyu?"
Qu Hua: "Who knows? Let's just take it one day at a time."
Ren Yingying: "... Did you two have a fight?"
"No," Qu Hua said, "It's just that those demons and monsters in the Prince's mansion are really annoying."
"What does that have to do with Mu Ziyu?"
"If it weren't for him, why would I need to deal with those people?" Qu Hua said. "I've already told Mu Ziyu that if he hasn't sorted out his family affairs by the time you leave Liaodong, I'll..."
"A complete breakup?"
I'll give him two choices.
"Um?"
"Either give up the title of Crown Prince and come with me; or stay and continue being the Crown Prince. I'll go my way, and he'll go hiss."
Ren Yingying gave her a thumbs up.
Hearing this, Qu Nian couldn't help but say to Qu Hua, "Mu Ziyu treats you well, can't you share the good times and the bad with him?"
Qu Hua glared at him, "For Jingjing's sake, I won't argue with you."
Otherwise, they would have taken action long ago.
She didn't start something and then abandon it. If she can share the good times, why insist on sharing the bad?
Is his future more important than his own happiness?
Being with the demons and monsters of the Prince of Liaodong's Residence is practically a shortened lifespan.
Since love requires sacrifice, and she has already sacrificed, what's wrong with letting Mu Ziyu sacrifice now?
Qu Nian: "Is this just sophistry?"
"I can't stand how self-righteous you men are," Qu Hua snorted, gently patting her sleeping niece. "When you grow up with your aunt, don't let your father corrupt you. A woman's happiness is the most important thing. If anyone dares to make you learn the three obediences and four virtues, I'll tear their mouth apart!"
After saying that, she gave Qu Nian a provocative look.
Qu Nian: "..."
Are these the same thing?
Would he harm his own daughter?
"You should stay away from Jingjing, don't lead her astray."
Ren Yingying couldn't help but chuckle as she listened to the siblings bickering.
Qu Hua looked at her, seeking an ally. "Sister-in-law, am I right?"
If she chooses to marry Mu Ziyu, it must be because she will be happy with him.
If she continues to have to outwit and outmaneuver this awful family and can't resolve the situation quickly, then she'll have to resort to poverty alleviation measures!
There are so many handsome guys in the world who are suffering, and so many who want to be helped. She has to be fair to everyone!
Ren Yingying gave a thumbs up.
Qu Nian flicked his sleeve. "I can't be bothered with you."
Anyway, he's Qu Hua's brother, not her father.
Her affairs were also a concern for her father and mother.
He still wanted to look at his beautiful, Lovely, and unparalleled daughter.
"Sister-in-law, why are you sweating so much?" Qu Hua asked curiously, noticing that Ren Yingying's clothes were soaked with sweat as she spoke.
"I'm weak and sweat a lot after giving birth, that's normal."
Ren Yingying changed her clothes again and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
Qu Hua thought her niece was going to sleep, so she pushed her older brother, who was lying in front of the cradle, aside and squatted down herself, resting her chin on her hand and tilting her head to look at her little niece.
It's so small and soft.
Qu Nian, feeling helpless, got up and went to the door to ask the servants, "Has the good news been reported everywhere?"
The servants repeatedly agreed.
Qu Nian nodded in satisfaction.
When his Jingjing turns one month old, he will definitely hold a grand celebration, wishing the whole world would know the good news of his daughter's birth.
Ren Yingying took a nap for half an hour, and the excitement in her cerebral cortex probably couldn't stop, so her biological clock was disrupted.
The brother and sister were even crouching down in front of the cradle to watch the baby.
Ren Yingying was speechless.
Just as he was about to speak and send them away, the maidservant announced that Jinse had arrived.
"Jinse, come in quickly, come in quickly." Ren Yingying said, trying to sit up.
"Please lie down!" Jinse hurried in.
"Why did you come all this way so late?" Ren Yingying's smile never stopped when she saw Jinse. Seeing that Jinse was sweating from running, she even had someone bring her some chilled watermelon.
Jinse complained, "Didn't I tell you that you must tell me when you're about to give birth? It must be very painful."
She tenderly took a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Ren Yingying's forehead.
Ren Yingying had bitten her lip until it bled, but now she pretended nothing was wrong. "No, it doesn't hurt at all."
Qu Nian: "..."
Can you be honest?
"I was worried you'd be anxious, and I couldn't help with the birth," Ren Yingying said with a smile.
"Of course I can."
"Um?"
Jinse gently plucked the strings of her pipa. "I originally intended to play the pipa for you, hoping it would soothe your mind and body and ease your pain."
Ren Yingying: "Really?"
"Hmm. We Sound Attack aren't just about killing people."
Ren Yingying: "You should have said so earlier! It hurt so much! It hurt so much that Zidu cried."
Jinse: "..."
Are you two truly a united couple?
Qu Nian: "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't cry, the wind just got in my eyes."
Jinse stayed there for a while, then Ren Yingying urged her to go back.
"Go back and keep an eye on Yanran."
This Gu worm is a sword hanging over the heads of all of them.
Ren Yingying gets worried every time she thinks about it.
Jinse calmly replied, "It's alright. The princess is already asleep at this time."
Ren Yingying asked suspiciously, "Will everything be fine once you fall asleep?"
How come she remembers saying that?
Otherwise, why would Cui Xiaoqiu need to stay with her at night?
Jinse lowered her eyes and said, "Mm."
Ren Yingying: "Really?"
Jinse got up to go see Jingjing.
Hearing that the young mistress's name was Jingjing, she subconsciously asked, "Is it what you always say, that you want Jingjing?"
Ren Yingying: "..."
Jinse stayed there until the early hours of the morning. Seeing that Ren Yingying was tired but couldn't sleep, she played two pieces of music for her.
Ren Yingying felt herself slowly relaxing, as if lying in Ruanruan clouds, with the sound of Qingfeng breeze in her ears, and gradually, she drifted into a sweet dream.
Qu Hua was amazed and pulled Jinse aside, saying, "When I am reborn, Sister Jinse, you must be there."
That's just how she is; when she needs someone's help, her words are as sweet as honey.
Jinse, however, was unmoved by this and said expressionlessly, "Princess, you are a year older than me."
"Hehe, good little sister."
Qu Nian felt embarrassed and urged her to leave, "Go back to sleep."
"What business is it of yours if I'm looking after my niece?"
"I am her father."
"You're not the same person just because my sister-in-law divorced you."
Say it again.
He deserves a slap!
Qu Hua took Jinse's arm. "Let's go, stop looking at my brother's sour face. I'll have my guards take you back!"
Jinse: "I cannot accept your guards."
I just don't like that kind of food.
