Chapter 14 Shen Xiuyan remembered his daughter's facial features
Ma Lingshu was somewhat disappointed that she had failed to leave Xuanji Nunnery. But now, she was even more grateful that she hadn't been arrested and taken to the authorities, otherwise her life would have been over.
Before she could even take a few more steps with relief, she was attacked from behind and knocked unconscious. Meanwhile, Peony, who had just been beaten to the point of near death, was also attacked.
The little nun who was so scared that she wet her pants was also secretly taken out of Xuanji Nunnery by Shen Feng and his men. The unconscious people were sent to a secret place and put under guard.
After giving all the instructions, Shen Xiuyan let out a breath. When he turned his head, his gaze fell on Jiang Mianmian. His feelings at this moment were indeed somewhat complicated.
He didn't know how to comfort Shen Mianmian. After all, the Anyang Prince's Mansion relied on its offspring for many years. The matter of rebellion seemed big, but it was also very ridiculous. In the end, he actually succeeded, which was truly unbelievable.
Moreover, in front of Jiang Mianmian, he had to pretend that he didn't know anything.
Ugh, his head hurts so much!
Jiang Mianmian looked at Shen Xiuyan in front of her, her face showing a mixture of urgency and hesitation. She was extremely anxious, but she didn't know where to begin.
[Oh dear! Heavens! This is too much for me! I just wanted to try and change the fate of Le'an, how did it escalate into a matter of national importance?]
【Sigh! And how should I tell Shen Xiuyan about this? Should I tell him, "Sigh, that Situ Junwen and his father, the Prince of Anyang, are no good people"?
The two large stallions, acting as human seed-sowing machines, somehow produced over a hundred offspring.
More than twenty years later, Situ Junwen actually managed to ascend to the throne by having many children, using every possible path to power. Will Shen Xiuyan think I've gone mad?
[Hmm, if Shen Xiuyan said this to me, I would definitely think he's seriously mentally ill, the incurable kind, okay...]
Shen Xiuyan: "…………"
At this moment, Baihe walked up to Jiang Mianmian, bowed to the two of them, and said respectfully;
"Reporting to the Madam, Young Master, the Young Mistress has woken up and says she wants to see the young lady. However, the wet nurse says that without the Madam's order, no one can take the young lady away."
Lily somewhat understood the wet nurse's actions. After all, such a serious incident had occurred, and it was normal for the old lady to be worried about the young lady's safety.
And then there's that traitorous Peony. The eldest young mistress usually treats her well, yet she betrays her mistress for a little favor. She deserves to die!
If it weren't for the fact that the eldest young mistress was still in her postpartum period and shouldn't get angry, and that someone had to stay in the room at that time, she would have wanted to go up and beat her to death herself.
However, it was thanks to the old lady's concern that the young lady wasn't called away. It seems that the old lady still cares about the eldest young mistress. In the past, she really misunderstood the old lady.
Shen Xiuyan instantly felt that Baihe was truly her savior. He decided to leave his mother's side for the time being, lest she actually say something and he wouldn't know how to react.
He quickly said, "Mother, Tingxue has woken up. I'm very worried about her. I need to go inside to see her. You should have the wet nurse bring Le'an over right now. I'm sure Tingxue is eager to see her child too."
After saying that, he quickly walked into the room, ignoring Jiang Mianmian's puzzled reaction.
"Ugh!"
Jiang Mianmian couldn't bring herself to say what was on her mind. She sighed, turned around, and went into the next room, asking the wet nurse to take Xiao Le'an there.
She dismissed everyone else from the room and sat down in a chair, lost in thought. At this moment, she needed quiet. Don't ask who Jingjing is; she simply doesn't know!
Looking at her sleeping daughter peacefully, Li Tingxue was overjoyed and said with a smile:
"Oh my! Husband, look, this is our daughter. I feel like she looks more like me!"
Haha... We had four naughty sons, and now we finally have a daughter, which fulfills my wish.
Shen Xiuyan looked at his daughter on the bed, a smile unconsciously spreading across his face. He nodded in response.
"Yes, our daughter does look more like you, about 80% like you. Her nose is upturned like mine... She'll definitely be very beautiful when she grows up."
At that moment, he thought of the words Shen Mianmian had said over and over again, and he blurted them out. Well, you know what? After hearing them so many times, he actually remembered them.
Li Tingxue chuckled: "Heh, husband, are you trying to praise our daughter or me?"
"I'm not trying to flatter you, but you and your daughter are the most beautiful in my eyes."
Hearing Shen Xiuyan's words, Li Tingxue felt secretly pleased. She smiled and said, "Hmph! You're so sweet-talking. Did you just drink honey?"
Would you like to try some?
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xiuyan was slapped by Li Tingxue, and then pretended to cry out in pain!
Li Tingxue ignored his antics, then suddenly seemed to remember something and asked without curiosity, "Oh, husband, why did my mother-in-law come to give birth in person this time?"
Shen Xiuyan certainly wouldn't reveal the truth that Han Lanjiao had almost switched the child; he was afraid that his wife would beat him to death in a fit of anger if she heard it.
"Oh! Mother said that it's not as safe for you to give birth outside as it is inside the manor. She has to personally examine you to feel at ease. She said I don't understand, but she's worried that something might happen to you or something?"
Just now, Mother specifically sent several people to watch over her daughter, just in case something unexpected happened.
Despite Li Tingxue's suspicious look, Shen Xiuyan continued without flinching:
“Tingxue, your mother really loves her daughter very much. She has already named her Le’an, Shen Le’an, hoping that her daughter will be happy, safe and blessed throughout her life.”
Li Tingxue said with a hint of sarcasm, "Hehe! It's really strange. When I had several sons before I was born, I never saw my mother give me a kind look."
Are you implying that your mother favors daughters over sons, and that she only likes daughters because I didn't give her a granddaughter?
Li Tingxue pouted and said, "Alright, stop trying to make excuses for Mother. I already know what kind of person she is after all these years of marriage and living in the Shen family."
You don't need to try and smooth things over for your mother anymore. Can't you see the circle you've drawn is a bit too big now?
Shen Xiuyan rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "Tingxue, really, I'm not lying to you, Mother really likes Le'an very much. Otherwise, why would Mother have even chosen her daughter's name in advance?"
"Look, our four sons, Mother didn't give them any names."
Li Tingxue: "…………"
