After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

In a blink of an eye, after a spring rain, the peach blossoms have fallen, and the furry fruits can be seen among the leaves.

Shen Yunjin's belly was so big that she couldn't see her toes.

She couldn't sleep well every night. Her calves often cramped in the middle of the night, waking her up in pain.

Sleeping posture is also a problem. I can't lie flat as my waist will ache. I can only sleep on my side. But I can't lie on one side for long as half of my body will become numb.

Every time this happened, she had no choice but to move her body with difficulty and turn to the other side.

Sometimes she felt like a turtle lying on its belly, struggling to turn over.

My appetite also started to decline. After eating a little, I felt uneasy in my stomach, as if I would vomit if I ate a little more.

But not long after, I felt hungry again, a hunger that felt like claws were sticking out of my throat.

The closer it got to the due date, the more anxious Shen Yunjin became.

In her previous life, she had never given birth, but she had heard many people say that childbirth is a major hurdle for women.

Many women died during childbirth, due to dystocia, heavy bleeding...

She wanted the child to come out quickly, but at the same time she was afraid that the child would come out.

But she couldn't tell these things to anyone else.

Jinzhi looked at the dark circles under Shen Yunjin's eyes, her heart filled with worry.

"Master, I went back to see the young master a while ago. He looked so cute."

"I hold the cloth tiger you made for me and won't let go. I'm drooling all over the place!"

"Che'er is already four months old, right?" Shen Yunjin's heart moved.

"Yes, she looks very much like the master. I heard from my aunt that every time the master came, he would hold her tightly and not let go."

"Jinzhi, pack up. I want to go back and see my aunt." Shen Yunjin suddenly had this idea.

"Take a few pieces of soft cotton cloth from the storeroom, pick up some nourishing herbs, and some cakes made by Yuzhi. I also made a few bellybands, and pack them all up."

By the time the group hurried out of the house, it was time for lunch when they arrived at the Shen Mansion.

"Jin'er, why are you back?" Aunt Li looked at Shen Yunjin who came back with a big belly, feeling both happy and worried.

"I miss my aunt and brother."

Shen Yunjin's nerves, which had been tense in recent days, suddenly relaxed.

She ate a full bowl of rice and some dishes. Jinzhi couldn't help covering her mouth and crying with excitement.

After dinner, Shen Yunjin was still not sleepy.

Aunt Li put her youngest son on the bed, and Shen Yunjin lay side by side with him.

Shen Yunjin used a cloth tiger to tease his younger brother.

Shen Yunche was seen supporting his body with two arms that looked like lotus roots, and his head swayed with the cloth tiger.

When he couldn't hold on any longer, he would lie down and wriggle on the bed for a long time like a big caterpillar.

Suddenly, he turned over and lay down.

He didn't cry, but raised his little hand, looked left and right, and then put it in his mouth.

"Dirty!" Shen Yunjin took his hand out of his mouth.

He was not angry, and instead gave Shen Yunjin a toothless smile, which made Shen Yunjin's heart soften into a puddle of water.

"Isn't it fun? No matter how hard or tiring it is, as long as you see him smile like this, you will feel that all the suffering you have endured is worth it."

Aunt Li saw that Shen Yunjin was in a bad mood, so she asked her daughter and son to stay a little longer.

"Mom, when you gave birth to me, were you afraid?"

Shen Yunjin held his brother's warm little hand and expressed his panic.

Aunt Li looked at her son and yawned loudly. She reached out and patted his back gently to coax him to sleep.

"As the old saying goes, sons run for life and mothers run for death. How can you not be afraid?"

"Of course I was afraid. Even if it was to give birth to your brother, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to get through that stage."

Aunt Li's gentle voice rang out in the room.

"But, since you have been reincarnated into my belly, I have the courage to protect you and let you be born into the world safely."

"When you were little, a master in the temple told you your fortune and told you that you would live to be a hundred years old." Aunt Li smiled softly.

Shen Yunjin also smiled. She knew that her aunt was comforting her.

If one is really destined to live a hundred years, he would not be killed by someone and be reborn.

Listening to Aunt Li humming an unknown tune, Shen Yunjin took a rare nap.

In the afternoon, she plays with her brother.

Hide the toys he plays with and watch him look for them with his little head raised;

Watch him wriggle and wriggle backwards on the bed like a little turtle, and lie down for a while when he gets tired;

I put his foot in my mouth, took it to my own mouth and pretended to bite it, which made my brother laugh without any teeth...

"Aunt, has mother given you any trouble recently?"

Shen Yunjin pulled his brother's hand out of his mouth, making him babble.

"No, I heard that the eldest lady spent a lot of money to buy a secret recipe for having a child for the lady. It is said that it cost two thousand taels."

"Oh? Could it be another liar?" Where in the world can there be so many secret recipes for having children?

"Xiu'er heard that it was the eldest lady's sister-in-law who sold it to her."

Shen Yunjin looked at Aunt Li in surprise, and Aunt Li nodded.

It seemed that it was indeed the medicine she sold to Jia Mingzhu. She was truly worthy of being the daughter of a merchant, as she made a profit of one thousand taels by simply resell it.

Shen Yunjin reached out and gently pushed his brother, who was lying on his back, and he turned over and lay on his stomach.

"It would be good if Madam gets pregnant. That way she won't have any ideas about Che'er." Aunt Li said softly.

Shen Yunjin shook her head. Mrs. Shen would never have her own children in her lifetime.

She had no intention of telling her aunt about this.

"What is father's attitude? Does he agree to let mother raise Che'er?"

"I thought that after the full moon, Madam would take Che'er to raise him, but Madam never said anything, and your father only said that Che'er was too young to leave his biological mother."

Shen Yunjin sneered. No matter how much a man loves you, he still cannot escape the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.

"Aunt, if one day you don't want to stay with your father anymore, take your brother and leave. Your daughter will support you."

Tears welled up in Aunt Li's eyes, and she reached out and poked Shen Yunjin's forehead.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Auntie will stay in the Shen Mansion for the rest of her life."

"Your father treats your aunt very well, and she is very content. Look at the eldest daughter, her husband treats her like that, and the lady doesn't dare to let her divorce."

"What happened to Shen Yunchu again?" Shen Yunjin was curious.

Ever since his brother's full-moon banquet, Shen Yunjin hasn't heard from Shen Yunchu for several months.

"Since Mr. Zhao married the princess, he has stayed in the princess's mansion every night and never returned home."

"The eldest lady took people to the princess's mansion to look for someone, but was blocked at the door by the princess's mansion servants and was not allowed to enter. She was also ridiculed and mocked."

"The eldest lady was so angry that she came back to the lady to cry. The lady just hugged her and cried bitterly, and advised her to be patient."

Shen Yunchu actually lived such a miserable life? This was not like her style.
