An ugly girl starts off, then becomes a beauty

Sang Ling lay in the bedroom for a few days, thinking that she would be relieved after giving birth, but she didn't expect that she would face a new round of difficulties. Although a special wet nurse was prepared to feed the child as soon as it was born, it still had to be placed next to her at ordinary times. - I don't know why, she has not yet developed any maternal love. Although this little ball beside her is indeed her own child, she always feels that something is strange.

Even holding it in my arms felt strange.

I wanted to ask Cheng Ai, but the words didn't come out for a long time. Later, I stopped holding her and just looked at her in the nurse's arms from time to time. However, when I heard her cry, I felt inexplicably irritated. Later, I just stayed away from her. When the nurse and Cheng Ai brought the child to me, I would pretend to look at her with interest.

The Shifeitang named the child: Nie Yao. Madam Zhaoyu immediately sent a letter to Nie Ce, informing him that they had given birth to a daughter, and also sent the name.

Sang Ling looked at Nie Yao lying on the small couch and called her twice, then gave the child a nickname, Le Yile.

At first, Cheng was not happy to hear this. Although it is easier to raise a newborn baby if it is given a cheap name, the name given by the young lady is a bit too weird, so she couldn't help but say a few inappropriate words. Sang Ling didn't care and just said, "Let's call her in private. Can't I give her a nickname?"

What she said was true. Cheng Ai didn't care. After all, the young lady was an educated woman. Maybe there were other profound meanings behind the name. She couldn't read a single word and didn't know anything about it.

But Sang Ling really picked the name Le Yile casually, purely to protest against Nie Taigong who threw a name at him on his own initiative.

The name issue was settled, and a few days later, Cheng Lao came back with the news about Gao Mansion, saying that Gao Heng had gone to the northwest and would not come to check Ping An's pulse the next day. After that, the old lady explained, "If Ashan came back, it was said that the grandfather of the Guan family had passed away."

That is equivalent to Gao Heng's master passing away, and he, as the apprentice, should go to pay his respects.

"The female head of the family will come this afternoon." Cheng said again. Upon hearing this, Sang Ling immediately became happy, "Then bring Le Yile over to meet her great aunt."

The child was now with the nurse, who had originally planned to take him back at night. Aunt Cheng said "Oh" and left.

Aunt Sang was kept for a few days during this visit. She had originally planned to talk for a while and then leave, but as they were chatting, she was forced by Sang Ling to stay with her for a few days.

She had just given birth, her husband was not around, and her mother-in-law was busy, so it was natural that she needed someone close to her. Sang Feng'e felt sympathetic, so she stayed for a few days. She even followed the wet nurse to take care of Nie Yao for a few days.

When the aunt heard the child's nickname, she was not as surprised as Cheng Lao. She just laughed for a long time and said, "It's good to be happy. Have some fun, don't you think?"

During this period, Liang also came to see the child. Sang Ling was fine, but Cheng was as if facing a great enemy. She followed the wet nurse and never left her side. Sang Ling smiled and glanced at her, then continued talking to Liang.

What else could the women who never left the inner house talk about? They only talked about romance, gossip about the Zhang and Li families. Sang Feng'e knelt aside, drank a few cups of wine with a smile, and silently looked at Liang Shi a few times, only occasionally interjecting a few words.

"If you feel bored, just ask me to come and talk." Before leaving, Liang said, "I have nothing to do over there anyway."

Although the mourning period for the old lady had passed, Chang'an City was right under the emperor's feet, and the nobles dared not hold entertainment activities until the New Year. Without an excuse to go out, wouldn't it be boring for Liang to stay in the house all day?

Sang Ling also smiled and said politely, "I have to ask you to accompany me."

……

The aunt returned to the Gao residence in early October. Sang Ling was not used to the lack of someone by his side for a while. Just after lunch, the wet nurse hurried to the bedroom and said that the young lady had a rash on her face and asked the young lady to ask a doctor to take a look. As Sang Ling stood up, Wei Chu went to the pharmacy.

At the same time, the old woman who had been preparing to take care of the child also arrived. She checked the child's condition before Sang Ling did, and came back to comfort him, "Don't worry, Madam. In this weather, it's easy for a baby to grow these. Just take off some clothes." - The wet nurse who was feeding Le Yile was a young woman who had just given birth. She was brought into the mansion because she had a lot of milk, but she herself had no experience and was inevitably panicked.

But having said that, she couldn't say she wasn't really worried. Cheng Ai picked up the child from the couch. Sang Ling stretched his head to look, and saw that Le Yile's cheeks and the bridge of her nose were covered with small red dots. As Cheng Ai uncovered the quilt little by little, she discovered that her head was covered with red dots.

Sang Ling's eyes suddenly turned red and his heart softened. For the first time, he took the initiative to hold Le Yile in his arms. Cheng Mu had given birth before, and she knew that although this was creepy, it was not that serious. So she skillfully took off the quilt and told Xiao Yuanxing to prepare hot water.

"Just wash off the sweat stains and apply the ointment and it will be fine." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw several big tears flowing from the young lady's eyes and dripping onto the young lady's face. Cheng Lao couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and wanted to wipe the tears for the young lady, but she saw her reaching out to wipe the child in her arms while crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It's my fault."

"It's okay." Cheng also cried. Sang Ling cried even harder. Others thought that her tears of guilt had fallen on the child's face. But Sang Ling knew that even if they said it was not a big deal, she felt even more pain in her heart.

She felt that she might be different from most mothers in the world. From the moment Le Yile was born, she had never felt any maternal love. She would be afraid when she saw her, and she didn't dare to touch her, let alone hug her. When she heard her crying in the wet nurse's arms, she even felt disgusted. She didn't know why, but fortunately she was in a powerful family like the Marquis' Mansion, and her family could afford to hire countless servants to serve them. So she didn't have to feed Le Yile, nor did she have to take care of Le Yile's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. It seemed that she just needed to play the role of a mother on the surface.

But until now, at this moment, seeing her lying on the couch so small, her face flushed, and being held in the arms of the old woman, she looked very ignorant, and she suddenly felt that she was just a child who knew nothing. Although her face and head were covered with red rashes, dense and ugly, she was really pitiful.

Sang Ling suddenly wanted to hug her and say sorry to her.
