Jiujiu's face was obviously swollen and pale, and her forehead was covered with wet hair. She looked extremely miserable, but in Nie Lve's eyes, she was even more attractive than a devastatingly beautiful woman.
Jiujiu asked in a delicate voice, "Husband, will you leave again this time?"
"I won't." Nie Lve put Jiujiu's hand back into the quilt, "The border has been stabilized. I want to stay in the capital to accompany my wife and the child."
"That's good. Without my husband, I'm always on tenterhooks every day. It's fine as long as I don't go." Jiujiu smiled faintly. "Husband, have you thought of a name for the child?"
"If it's a boy, let's call him Nie Wei."
This name was exactly the same as Xiao Jiuniang's child.
Jiujiu nodded, "Then let's call him Ping 'an."
Nie Lve knew that she wanted him to be safe, so he nodded according to Jiujiu's idea.
After deciding the child's name, Jiujiu closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
She slept for a whole day.
When Jiujiu woke up again, the child had eaten and drunk enough and was put in the crib next to the bed. On the other hand, Nie Lve had been sleeping on the soft couch next to the bed. Jiujiu just opened her eyes, and Nie Lve came down from the bed, "Madam, you're awake?"
"How long have I slept?" Jiujiu sat up with one hand on the bed.
Nie Lve quickly put a cushion behind Jiujiu, "Madam, you've slept for a whole day. I asked someone to cook porridge. Do you want to eat some?"
"I want to take a bath." After giving birth yesterday, the nurse gave her a simple wipe and dressed her. Now that she slept for a whole day, her whole body was sticky and disgusting.
Nie Lve was startled, "Madam can take a bath?"
Although Nie Lve didn't know much about it, he had never heard of a woman taking a bath right after giving birth.
"It's just a simple shower. It shouldn't be a problem." Jiujiu blinked her big eyes and looked at Nie Lve with watery eyes. "My body is sticky with sweat. It's so uncomfortable. Darling, please promise me."
Faced with Jiujiu's pleading, Nie Lve could only nod his head and reluctantly agree.
After Jiujiu finished washing up, Nie Lve felt that it was inappropriate to continue staying in the house. He called Lianxin to the house and went out.
After Jiujiu asked Lianxin to help her clean her body, she called Nie Lve into the house.
When Nie Lve entered the room, Jiujiu was sitting by the bed, looking at the child.
A newborn baby could sleep for twenty hours out of the twenty-four hours a day, and for the remaining four hours when they were awake, they would still whine for milk.
After Jiujiu looked at the child for a while, Nie Lve stood beside her and said to the child, "Ping An looks like you."
Jiujiu looked at the child with his eyes closed and his mouth pressed together. She couldn't tell what his facial features were. She smiled and said, "Ping An is still young. I can't tell who he looks like."
"I think he looks like you." Nie Lve smiled and said, "His nose, eyes, and mouth are all like you. But his face, because he hasn't opened, I can't tell if he looks like you or me."
"I think, no matter if he looks like you or me, Ping An must be born well." Jiujiu looked at Nie Lve and said, "If you think of me, Ping 'an is a gentle and refined young master in this chaotic world. If you think of him as my husband, he must be an indomitable man."
Jiujiu's words made Nie Lve smile uncontrollably. "You're right. Our Ping An won't be too bad no matter who he looks like."
After looking at the child for a while, the food was served. Nie Lve held Jiujiu's shoulder and let Jiujiu sit down. He put the food on the small table in front of Jiujiu and watched Jiujiu eat.
Jiujiu slept for a day and a night before waking up. She could only eat soft and easy to digest food.
After Jiujiu finished eating, she asked Nie Lve, "We can't hide husband's return this time."
Nie Lve deliberately ruined his reputation in the past, but secretly worked as a military adviser for the general at the border.
Half of the credit for the victory at the border was due to Nie Lve.
The general had a straightforward personality. Because he didn't have a son, he had always treated Nie Lve as half a son and taught him by his side. Now that the crisis at the border was resolved, the general would definitely report to the imperial court and reward Nie Lve.
Nie Lve had transformed from the second son of the Duke Zhenguo to a great military adviser.
Compared to Nie Lve, who was a promising second son, Nie Ce, who only inherited the title and did nothing, would become the target of public criticism.
Moreover, if Xiao Zhen and Jiang Wanwan found out that Nie Lve, their debauchee son-in-law, had suddenly become a talented young man, they would most likely pay him a visit.
If that happened, there would be a lot of trouble.
"If I can't hide it, then I won't. This time, I didn't plan on hiding it from them. "He wanted to deal with the Duke Zhenguo's residence, so he naturally couldn't do nothing for the rest of his life.
Jiujiu held Nie Lve's hand. "No matter what husband wants to do, I will accompany husband."
Seeing Jiujiu's gentle and obedient appearance, Nie Lve's eyes overflowed with tenderness. "I said before that I would ask for a title for wife."
Nie Lve hugged Jiujiu's shoulder and let Jiujiu's head lean against his chest. He said softly, "Wife, do you want to know why I opposed eldest brother?"
"I'm all ears."
"When I was young, my mother would lie in bed every once in a while. I asked Mother Li, who took care of my mother, what was wrong with her?
Mother Li said that she was sick and was recuperating.
At that time, I was young and really thought that she was sick.
However, as I grew older, I understood that my mother wasn't sick. She had a miscarriage. "
Nie Lve looked into Jiujiu's eyes and said, "Everyone said that the Duke Zhenguo was devoted to his second wife and that he followed her not long after she passed away. However, only I know that my father wasn't devoted to my mother. Instead, he was extremely cruel.
Wife, do you know? "
Nie Lve looked into Jiujiu's eyes and said, "After my mother gave birth to me, every time she was pregnant, my father would give her a bowl of abortion medicine. Mother Li said that my mother was sick because she was weak after aborting the fetus.
My father was gentle and refined outside, but at home, he tortured my mother like a demon. Before my mother passed away, he told me to leave the Duke Zhenguo's residence.
However, my father wasn't dead and the Duke Zhenguo's residence wasn't destroyed. How could I leave? "
Nie Lve chuckled. "After my mother passed away, I drugged my father and made him die as well. My father made my mother lose her child, so I made Lin Wanxin lose her heart as well."
Nie Lve paused. "Wife, do you think I'm cruel?"
Jiujiu shook her head.
"How could my husband be cruel when he was avenging his mother?" Jiujiu looked at Nie Lve and said, "Everyone says that revenge breeds revenge. In my opinion, this is just the words that the perpetrator uses to dissuade the victim.
If they were the victim, they would want to tear the perpetrator into pieces. "
Nie Lve was worried that Jiujiu would be afraid of him. However, he didn't expect that Jiujiu would say such a unique opinion. It really surprised him.
Nie Lve tapped the tip of Jiujiu's nose and said with a smile, "That's true. However, you can only say these words to me in the future."
If the people outside heard this, it would be another bloodbath.
