Li Hongyuan looked at her haggard and pale face, and at her saddened expression when she said those words.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âCan you bear to leave your son?â
âI know I wonât be able to take him. He is the imperial grandson and your son, born noble. With or without me, he wonât suffer at all. I have nothing to worry about.â Jiang Ning spoke softly, âDo you agree?â
Li Hongyuanâs voice turned cold: âAre you sure about this?â
âYes.â
âFine, I will grant you this. After all, if you stay here, your heart wonât be here anyway. Itâs better for you to leave instead of everyone suffering.â Li Hongyuan said, âAs for the childrenâ¦â
âJust treat it as if I only gave birth to a boy. That was what everyone thought anyway. The daughter was a gift from the heavens for me. Please consider the toll that bearing and giving birth to children has taken on me.â
Li Hongyuan stared at her for a moment, and squeezed out a word through his teeth: âFine.â
He turned and left.
Without looking back.
She was too weak to leave now.
At least she would have to wait until the end of her confinement period.
After talking about this, Jiang Ning felt much more relieved. She asked someone to bring the two children to her. However, seeing their delicate little faces and hearing their cries made her milk come in.
It was unbearable.
When the children were hungry, there were wet nurses to feed them.
Four wet nurses at that, the children would never go hungry.
As she watched the two little babies being taken away, Jiang Ningâs chest felt even more uncomfortable.
In aristocratic families, the mothers wouldnât breastfeed their own children, leaving it to the wet nurses.
As for postpartum women having an oversupply of milk, there were ways to solve this problem.
Nanny brought a bowl of medicine, handed it to Huang Ying, and urged her to ask the Princess Consort to drink it, which would ease the engorgement.
Jiang Ning refused, and because of the pain and her inability to get out of bed, her temper flared and she smashed the medicine bowl.
Nanny was frightened, so she went to look for Li Hongyuan, saying that the Princess Consort was stubborn and unwilling to drink the medicine. The maids and servants in the courtyard didnât know what to do.
Li Hongyuan immediately came over.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Jiang Ning smashing things.
âTake these medicines away, I wonât drink them. Get out!â She sat on the bed, smashing things around her and crying from the pain.
Li Hongyuan looked at her sobbing, frowned, and said: âYou are uncomfortable, and refuse to take the medicine. What do you want? Do you have to torment yourself like this?â
âBring my second child here!â
âThe children have wet nurses to take care of them. You donât need to worry about them, just rest.â
âI gave birth to the child, why wonât you let me see them?â Jiang Ning threw a pillow at his face, yelling, âGo and bring the child to me!â
Li Hongyuan caught the pillow and yelled angrily, âAre you done? Your temper is getting worse after giving birth! Youâre weak, so we donât have the children in your room to let you rest properly! What are you making a fuss about?â
Jiang Ning yelled: âGet out of here, I donât want to see you!â
âShrew!â
Angry, Li Hongyuan turned around and left.
Jiang Ning, furious, got up with the help of the bed, grabbed a vase from the table, and threw it at him.
Bang!
The vase hit Li Hongyuanâs shoulder right on and shattered on the floor.
Li Hongyuan turned back and saw her haggard face and swollen eyes. The anger in his heart couldnât find a way out.
âI canât be bothered with you.â
He stormed out of the room.
Back in the courtyard, his shoulder was still aching. He took off his clothes and saw that the vase had left a large gash on his shoulder.
âCall Dong Chaofeng.â He ordered the housekeeper, âHave him examine the Princess Consort to find out whatâs wrong with her.â
He felt that something was off with her..
