The Left Commandery Prince was betrothed to Lord Hengnan's eldest daughter.
Jiujiu, who was sleepy, suddenly became alert. She widened her eyes and asked angrily, "Why is he gone?"
Wasn't he holding a banquet at Drunken Spring Brothel yesterday? Why was he gone today? It shouldn't be.
Lianxin moved closer to Jiujiu's ear and said in a low voice, "I heard that he was fighting for the Courtesan Belle at Fengchun Brothel. The other party was not from the capital and did not recognize him. They had an argument and the Left Commandery Prince was thrown down from the building and died on the spot."
Jiujiu was so shocked that her eyes widened.
What was more, the Left Commandery Prince did not wait at home for his bride but went to the brothel to fight for the Courtesan Belle. He was thrown down from the building and died on the spot.
This was really exciting.
Jiujiu's mouth twitched. "What did the Lord Hengnan's Mansion say?"
The Left Commandery Prince died two days before the wedding because he fought for the Courtesan Belle. If they did not ask for an explanation, Nie Lve would definitely lose his wife.
"She hasn't married yet, so it's not considered a marriage. The Left Commandery Prince's Mansion would also be embarrassed, so they let the marriage go. However, everyone in the capital knows about the marriage between the eldest daughter of the Lord Hengnan's Mansion and the Left Commandery Prince. Now everyone is saying …"
Lianxin looked around and saw that there was no one around. Then she said in a low voice, "Everyone is saying that the eldest daughter of the Lord Hengnan's Mansion brought bad luck to her husband. Otherwise, why did the Left Commandery Prince die before the wedding after he fought for the Courtesan Belle so many times? It's most likely that he was brought bad luck to Lord Hengnan's Mansion."
Jiujiu burst out laughing. "The Left Commandery Prince died fighting for the Courtesan Belle. How is it that the lady brought bad luck to her husband?"
This white moonlight was really implicated even when she was lying down.
Lianxin nodded in agreement, but she said, "That makes sense, but not everyone is as loving as you and Old Master. Now that Commandery Prince Zuo is gone, Commandery Prince Zuo's Mansion will be angry, so they will be like this.
The eldest daughter of the Lord Hengnan's Mansion was indeed unlucky. "
But wasn't the Left Commandery Prince unlucky?
Lianxin, no one could explain this matter clearly.
However, Jiujiu was just casually saying it, treating it as a joke.
Jiujiu didn't have time to care about this legitimate daughter of Prince Hengnan's Estate right now. She was thinking about whether Nie Lue could come back when the child was born.
From Xiao Jiuniang's memories, it seemed that Nie Lve had returned when the child was born.
However, from the time Xiao Jiuniang was pregnant to the time she gave birth, Nie Lve only came back once. From the time she was pregnant to the time she gave birth, Nie Lve came back several times. Jiujiu was not sure if Nie Lve would come back.
In the blink of an eye, Nie Lve had been gone for almost two months, and Jiujiu was about to give birth.
Lianxin had been nagging recently. She was afraid that Old Master would not be able to make it in time for Little Master's birth.
Jiujiu guessed that Nie Lve's attitude had changed because of her visit. Even Nie Lve, who was supposed to witness the birth of her child, did not come back.
Jiujiu didn't feel sad. Instead, she comforted Lianxin. "Old Master is a person who does great things. How can he always think about love? Don't think about it anymore. It's giving me a headache."
Jiujiu's words were reasonable, but Lianxin couldn't help muttering in her heart, "But Old Master was not around when Madam was pregnant. If he is not around when Little Master is born, Madam, you are so pitiful."
She obviously had a husband. Why did she act as if she didn't have a husband?
Nie Lve sacrificed himself outside, but in Lianxin's mouth, it became irresponsible. Jiujiu's face darkened. She said coldly, "Don't say such things in the future."
She was unhappy to hear it.
After Jiujiu finished speaking, she went back to her room. However, the butler, who had been following behind her, looked at Jiujiu thoughtfully. Weiwei?
After this discussion, Lianxin didn't continue to talk about Nie Lve in front of Jiujiu. However, the butler kept looking at Jiujiu's belly every day.
In the blink of an eye, the expected date of delivery was here.
The midwife and the female doctor were invited to stay in the mansion. Once Jiujiu was in labor, they would rush to Jiujiu's side at the fastest speed to help Jiujiu give birth.
But the day was here.
However, Jiujiu acted as if nothing had happened. She ate and drank, and there was no sign that she was going to give birth.
The old steward paced around the courtyard anxiously. The female doctor explained to the old steward, "Every child's performance is different. Some will be born early, some will be born on time, and some will be born later. In my opinion, the young master in Madam's belly is a slow child. We have to wait."
Lianxin said anxiously, "How long do we have to wait?"
The female doctor looked hesitant. "You mean it won't come? Some people give birth after one or two days, some people give birth after ten days or half a month. There is no definite answer. But Madam seems to have taken good care of her pregnancy. No matter when she gives birth, she will be able to give birth to Little Master smoothly."
Seeing that there was no movement for a long time, the old butler could only wave his hand to indicate that he understood.
After Jiujiu finished her meal, she felt that her stomach was starting to sink. She quickly asked Lianxin to boil a bowl of ginseng soup for her.
Hearing that Jiujiu was about to give birth, the old butler quickly asked someone to boil the thousand-year-old ginseng.
After Jiujiu finished the ginseng soup, she started to give birth.
Hearing the sounds coming from the house, the old butler was burning with anxiety. He kept looking in the direction of the door.
Following a loud baby cry, a smoky green figure finally appeared at the door.
The midwife walked out with a clean baby in her arms. She smiled and reported the good news to Nie Lve. "Old Master, it is a Little Master."
Nie Lve, who had just returned, saw the baby in the midwife's arms. His hands were trembling as he held the baby in his arms.
The newborn baby was soft like a puddle of water. It looked as if he would slip to the ground if he was not careful. Nie Lve held the baby stiffly. After a long time, he said, "Reward."
"Thank you, Old Master." After receiving the reward, the midwife's mouth was as sweet as honey. She kept saying, "This concubine has delivered so many children, but Little Young Master is the most beautiful. His nose and eyes are really beautiful."
Nie Lve looked at the baby, who looked very similar to Jiujiu. His eyes were gentle as he asked, "How is Madam?"
"Madam has fallen asleep due to exhaustion." It was the first time that the midwife had met someone who took the initiative to ask about Madam. She could not help but add, "You can go in and take a look after she has tidied up."
Nie Lve nodded. He handed the baby in his arms to the butler and asked the wet nurse to feed the baby.
He stood outside the house and waited for the nurse to come out.
After the nurse helped Jiujiu tidy up, Nie Lve immediately strode into the house.
The house was still filled with the smell of blood. Jiujiu was lying on the bed with her face pale and her eyes tightly shut.
Her hair was drenched in sweat and stuck tightly to her face, making Jiujiu's originally sorry state even more miserable.
Nie Lve touched Jiujiu's cheek with heartache. He lowered his head and kissed Jiujiu's forehead. "Madam, you have worked hard."
Jiujiu had just opened her eyes when she heard Nie Lve's voice.
"My husband is back." Jiujiu opened her eyes and looked at Nie Lve, who had become darker and thinner. She said softly, "My husband has lost a lot of weight again."
