When Mu Yangling woke up again, it was already dark outside. She blinked to adapt to the darkness. Turning around, she saw the child by the pillow under the moonlight.
Mu Yanglings heart softened. She reached out and touched his forehead. The child was sleeping quite soundly. Probably because he had been disturbed, his nose twitched twice. His tiny brows creased, then he opened his mouth slightly and moved his body twice. After which, he tilted his head and continued sleeping.
Spring, who was on duty outside, heard the commotion and came in with a lamp. Fourth Madam, youre awake?
Mu Yangling nodded and said, Im hungry. Go get some food.
Spring asked a young lass to guard Mu Yangling while she put on some clothes and went to the small kitchen to get the chef to cook for Mu Yangling.
Cooked with chicken broth, a handful of vegetables, and two eggs, Spring carefully carried the noodles to Mu Yangling.
Mu Yangling carefully moved her son to the bed. After eating, she felt a little better. Instead of asking about the case this morning, she asked, Did Third Young Master drink milk today?
No, the midwife only fed him two mouthfuls of water before Third Young Master fell asleep. He hasnt woken up yet. The nanny said that he can be breastfed when he wakes up.
Mu Yangling heaved a sigh of relief and said, Let the nanny wait first and not to feed him. Go and get the kitchen to make me something to help me lactate. I want to feed the child myself.
Spring widened her eyes and said softly, Fourth Madam, how can you breastfeed him personally? Only poor families who cant afford to hire a nanny will breastfeed their baby personally
Do as I say. Mu Yangling interrupted her forcefully and said, I must be able to lactate tomorrow morning.
Feeling her chest swell, she felt that it was not a problem for her to breastfeed. Previously, she was not resistant to hiring a nanny. She felt that it was fine as long as she was the person who breastfed the child for the first time. Moreover, she could spend more time doing other things without having to breastfeed the child. But now that she saw the child, she suddenly changed her mind. She wanted to feed him personally because this was her child!
Spring knew that she couldnt dissuade her, so she could only agree. After sleeping for a long time, Mu Yangling was no longer sleepy. She looked at the child and leaned against the pillow. Is what she said about Fourth Master true?
Spring lowered her head and only nodded after a while. She hurriedly explained, Fourth Madam, dont worry. Young Master Zijin said that those bandits cant do anything to Fourth Master. Besides, there arent as many bandits surrounding Fourth Master as that old servant said. She was just
scaring you.
Mu Yangling looked at her and asked, How long has it been? Springs mouth moved, but she still said, Its been 16 days Mu Yangling sighed. Does the Emperor not intend to save him? Thats not it. Spring hurriedly said, I heard that the Emperor is leaning towards amnesty, but the courts opinion has never been unanimous, so theres still no conclusion until now. Fourth Madam, dont worry. Young Master Zijin has been swaying public opinion outside. It wont be long before the Imperial Court sends troops to help Fourth Master out. Besides, isnt Eldest Master around? Even if the Emperor doesnt care about Fourth Master, he still has to consider Eldest Masters feelings.
These words were obviously taught to Spring, but it failed to convince Mu Yangling. How could he be fine after being surrounded for 16 days?
Even if Qi Haoran could hold on, what about food and water?
Mu Yanglings eyes were slightly wet. She turned to look at the child on the side of the bed and touched his little face. She said in a low voice, Your father will definitely be safe, right?
Her son was still sleeping sweetly.
Feeling a lump in her throat, Spring turned her head to wipe her tears.
Wheres Rain? Why are you the only one in the room?
Rain injured her waist and is currently resting in the room. As for the other servant girls in the residence, Spring paused for a moment before continuing, Theyve all been detained by Eldest Madam. She said that she wants to investigate properly.
When Rain hugged the old servant and fell, she hurt her waist. Summer and Autumn were also locked up. If the three of them did not appear tomorrow, Fourth Madam would grow suspicious and ask. With that in mind, she might as well let Fourth Madam know now.
Did that old servant confess?
Spring shuddered. Thinking of Eldest Madams instructions, she deliberated and said, Fourth Madam, dont be angry. That old servant killed herself when the servants werent paying attention
However, there was no additional expression on Mu Yanglings face. She only nodded slightly and waved Spring off. Let me know if you find out anything.
Spring heaved a sigh of relief and left.
The next day, Mu Yangling woke up and ate something that the kitchen maid had stewed to aid lactation. When the child woke up and started to cry, the nanny quickly helped Mu Yangling rub her breasts with a hot towel. Mu Yangling only felt pain, pain from both the swelling pain and the rubbing. However, the nanny took the hot towel away and said, Fourth Madam, alright, quickly let Third Young Master try and see if he can drink it. Mu Yangling quickly picked up the child and carefully stuffed it into his mouth. The child, who was originally crying miserably like a kitten, immediately sucked it eagerly. Mu Yanglings eyes lit up and she shouted, Hes drinking it! My son is so smart. He knows how to drink milk right away.
Nanny, who couldnt bear to look, glanced away. Its instinctive, all right? Which child doesnt know how to drink milk?
However, the mother could not suffer an agitation at this time. The nanny and Spring played along and praised the young master.
When this little thing was full, Mu Yanglings previous worry suddenly dissipated. With a smile, she asked, I heard that when the mother is in a great mood, the breast milk will be good, and the child will be healthier, right? Having never heard such a thing before, the nanny was stunned. Seeing that she was in a daze, Spring secretly pinched her. The nanny immediately replied, Yes, there is such a saying.
Fourth Madam, you have to be happy every day. This way, our Third Young Master will be as strong as Fourth Master in the future, Spring said with a smile.
Mu Yangling smiled and nodded. After some thought, she said, My giving birth is a joyous occasion. I have to tell Fourth Master about this. Go get a brush and ink. I want to write a letter to him.
Spring wanted to say that even if she sent it out, he might not be able to receive it. However, when she saw Mu Yanglings calm expression, she did not say anything. She simply went out and brought the things in for her.
Mu Yangling picked up the pen and thought for a moment before starting to write. In the end, she carefully grabbed her sons tiny hand and imprinted some ink on it.
After the ink was dry, she handed it to Spring. Take the letter to Young Master Zijin. Ask him to find an old servant who knows some martial arts to deliver it. If it cant be delivered to Fourth Master, read it to him at the foot of the mountain in front of everyone.
Springs mouth fell open. Fourth Madam, how how dangerous is this? Mu Yangling carefully wiped her sons hands with a hot towel. As she wiped, she said, Dont worry. If its not feasible, Young Master Zijin wont do it. Spring felt that Mu Yanglings actions were too crazy. To be running straight to the bandit nest to send a letter to the Fourth Master on the mountain, it was obvious that one would never return.
Unexpectedly, after Young Master Zijin received the letter, he fell silent for a while before agreeing..
