The house was tidied up and Dr. Yao quickly came in and took Gu Wen’s pulse, immediately prescribing a prescription for someone to get medicine.
Kong Qing, his heart palpitating, dropped to the floor and grabbed Gu Wen’s other one, “Wen’er, thank you, thank you.”
“Brother Qing, I want to see the baby.”
“You wait, I’ll go and hold it.”
Kong Qing got up several times and failed to get up.
Old Lady Kong came in with the baby in her arms and bent down so she could look at the child with her eyes closed.
“It’s so ugly.”
Gu Wen muttered, her eyes slowly closing.
“Wen’er!”
Kong Qing lunged over, almost hitting the child.
Doctor Yao was busy saying, “Don’t be anxious, Second Aunt, Second Miss has just fallen asleep.”
Kong Qing fell to the ground again, “That’s good, that’s good.”
……
“Yue’er, thank you.”
As the crowd returned to the courtyard where they were resting, Madam Gu thanked her gratefully, if it wasn’t for Song Wan Yue’s words today, Gu Wen might not have survived.
“It’s second sister who is so blessed to have second brother-in-law who loves her so much, she couldn’t leave them father and son behind.”
“Qing’er is indeed good, Wen’er is following him, I’ll be relieved in the future.”
Kong Qing was chosen by Master Gu for Gu Wen back then, from betrothal to marriage Mrs Gu only met him a few times, she just thought he was okay, she didn’t expect to treat Wen’er so well.
“Or else I would say that second sister is blessed, and yeah, she survived this big disaster, so she will only be left to enjoy her blessings from now on.”
Madam Gu was happy at her words, “Then I’ll borrow Yue’er’s good advice.”
“Madam in-laws, our old madam has asked the kitchen to make something, saying that you should eat some and then rest well.”
The voice of the Kong House maid rang out from outside.
“Come in. ”
Several maids came in with trays and placed them in front of several people before retreating.
After all this fuss, the people did feel hungry and ate more or less. After they had finished eating, they said a few more words and went back to their respective houses to rest.
After a long day’s journey and a tumultuous midnight, Song Wangyue was really tired and fell asleep until dawn, when Gu Yi came knocking on the door.
Song Wangyue went to the door and opened it.
“Little girl, hurry up!”
Gu Yi took her hand and headed out, “Second sister’s husband is giving out happy money, and Dr. Yao has it all.”
“I haven’t washed …… up yet.”
“Come back and wash again.”
Gu Yi pulled her straight into the flower hall.
Kong Qing was sitting happily on a chair, saying something to Madam Gu, when he heard footsteps and turned around, he saw Gu Yi dragging Song Wan Yue in, he smiled and got up, handing the prepared wedding seal to Song Wan Yue, “Miss Song, thank you so much for last night, this is your wedding seal.”
Song Wan Yue didn’t feel polite and took it.
“Take a quick look, how much is there.”
Gu Yi was impatient.
Even Doctor Yao had six hundred taels, the little girl couldn’t have any less, if it was less, he would run to his second sister and tell her that her second sister’s husband was stingy, the little girl had saved her life and only gave such a little.
“Two thousand taels.”
Kong Qing himself said, “This is what I gave, and the other thanks to Miss Song, your second sister will give again.”
“Then we will go and see second sister at once.”
“Yi’er ……”
Madam Gu was helpless, “Your second sister is still resting, let’s go there again when she wakes up from her nap.”
“That’s fine.”
Gu Yi put his own wedding seal in Song Wan Yue’s hand as well, “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you back to wash up.”
Song Wangyue didn’t say a word and was pulled out by him again.
Mrs Gu smiled and said, “Qing’er, don’t mind, Miss Song’s family is a bit worse off, Yi’er just wants to help her.”
“I know, Wen’er gave me the word, don’t worry mother-in-law, I won’t mind, Wen’er was already awake when I came, would mother-in-law like to come with me over to see?”
“Good.”
Mrs. Gu got up and followed him over.
Inside Song Wan Yue’s house, Gu Yi sat at the table and took out the money from both wedding seals and put them together; his was also two thousand taels, and together with what Kong Qing had given yesterday, the total was ten thousand taels.
When Song Wan Yue had finished washing up, Gu Yi happily gave her four silver cheques, “When we meet second sister later, we can’t be soft, we need at least five thousand taels.”
Song Wangyue, ……
“Young master, second miss is awake.”
Xiao Si reported from the doorway.
Gu Yi immediately got up, “Little girl, go!”
Song Wan Yue did not want to go with him, but Gu Yi took her hand again directly and pulled her to Gu Wen’s room.
Gu Wen was lying on the bed, her face still pale, and Dr. Yao was taking her pulse.
“Second sister, congratulations on your happy birth.”
Gu Yi had one foot in the door of the room when he began to say congratulations, and when he finished, he led Song Wan Yue over to her bedside and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Gu Wen played dumb, “Thank you so much little brother.”
This was not what he had thought, Gu Yi’s pretty eyes slithered around a few times and extended her hand directly towards her, “Second brother-in-law said that you had prepared happy money for us, I hope it is more than enough.”
The crowd was amused by him.
Gu Wen smiled with a blush on her face and reached out to take out two joy seals from under the pillow, giving him one and handing the other to Song Wan Yue, “Yue’er, second sister thanks you.”
“Second sister is very kind.”
Fearing that Song Wan Yue would be too embarrassed to accept it, Gu Yi gave it to her, “Little girl is my daughter-in-law, you are my second sister, it is right to save you, but if you really feel sorry for yourself, I don’t mind you giving more silver cheques. Is that right, second brother-in-law?”
“Yes.”
Kong Qing smiled and answered, “Your second sister and I would also like to give more, but as you know, second brother-in-law is not that capable and cannot earn much money, so this is all he can give.”
“No ……”
Gu Wen’s husband sang along with his wife and also teased him, “Your second sister-in-law and I are sitting on our laurels, or else you can talk to father and give us some of the family business to do, and when your little nephew turns one next year, we will give you a big red envelope.”
“No.”
Gu Yi refused without even thinking, “Don’t think I’m really stupid, the family business will be mine and the little girl’s in the future, we can earn a lot of silver cheques, we don’t want to give it to you.”
The crowd was once again amused by him.
Song Wan Yue also pursed up her lips.
Doctor Yao gave the prescription he had re-prescribed to his subordinates, “Second Miss has lost her body this time, she needs to take good care of it and cannot have any more children for two or three years.”
“No more, no more ……”, Kong Qing waved his hand with a palpitating heart, “No more even if it kills me, as long as Wen’er lives, it’s better than anything.”
……
Afternoon.
Gu Hui’s carriage stopped at the entrance of the Kong family, she got down from the carriage and didn’t bother to hold Little Treasure, with an anxious face she asked the steward of the Kong House who came out to pick her up, “What’s going on? I thought my little sister would not give birth for another two or three days, but why did she suddenly give birth? Is my little sister all right?”
Early this morning, Kong Qing had someone send her a message, and she hurried here as soon as she got the news.
“It was my young lady who fell accidentally. However, the adults are fine and the child is fine too.”
How could Gu Hui feel at ease? She hurriedly followed the housekeeper into Gu Wen’s courtyard, and before she could enter the house, she heard the sound of laughter inside and paused in her steps.
