Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

"Madam, there is a letter from the capital." The doorman brought the letter and handed it to the maid at the door.

Cui Luanluan opened the letter and saw that it was from her mother. It was her younger sister Cui Yingying who had contacted the Fifth Prince in private and persuaded her father to support the Fifth Prince in his bid for the throne and to send herself to the palace as a concubine. Most of the family's property was taken to the palace by Cui Yingying to support his bid for the throne.

Now her mother came to Xinju to ask her for money so that she could win the hearts of the people and support the Fifth Prince's great cause. Then she could give her son-in-law a high official position.

Cui Luanluan's stomach twitched with anger, and the fetus was rolling inside, affected by the mother's mood.

“Ouch… it hurts…”

"Qiaoer, go get the doctor quickly." Cui Luanluan touched her belly, worried that something might happen to the baby.

Qiao'er helped the lady lie down on the couch. Seeing that her lady's stomach was cramping, she ran out of the room in a panic and shouted to Nanny Zhou that something was wrong with the lady and to call a doctor immediately.

Seeing that Miss Qiao'er, who was beside the Madam, was walking in a hurry, Nanny Zhou told Jia Mu to hurry up and ask the doctor from East Street who was good at gynecology, and then she quickly ran to the Madam's bedroom.

"Madam, how are you?" He worriedly checked if there was any redness in Madam's lower body.

"Madame Zhou, my stomach hurts so much, I'm so scared"

Cui Luanluan was so scared that she burst into tears. She was even more afraid that her husband would come back and find that the child was gone. She could not accept it even more because she knew that her husband was looking forward to having a child and had bought him a lot of toys.

"It's okay. Maybe the Madam's mood is unstable and the child is making a fuss inside." After checking, Nanny Zhou found that the Madam's lower body was already red, but she didn't say anything.

Jia Mu ran to East Street and pulled the gynecologist home quickly.

When Sanbao heard that something had happened to the lady in the backyard, he quickly went to find Miss Qiao'er. After learning the situation, he did not dare to hide it from the young master, and sent someone to notify her as soon as possible.

At this time, Li Changgui was discussing with Master Zhang in the academy about participating in next year's provincial examination and the preferences of the chief examiner.

Li Changgui heard the servants outside the door looking for him, and came out to ask anxiously.

Upon hearing that his wife had been in trouble, he said goodbye to his teacher and rushed back immediately.

"This lady was too emotional, which caused her fetal instability."

"I've given her acupuncture to stop the bleeding. She has to stay in bed for two months."

"You must take pregnancy-maintaining medicine. This is the prescription I wrote for you. You can go to my pharmacy to get it later." The doctor wrote the prescription, dried the pen, and handed it to Sanbao who was standing nearby.

Just then, Li Changgui returned before the doctor left. He first went to check on Cui Luanluan and found that she was sleeping with a pale face. He did not disturb her but went to find the doctor to ask about her condition.

"Doctor, how is my wife?"

"Your wife's fetus is unstable now, and she must stay in bed to rest." The doctor looked at the young man in front of him and was very concerned about his wife.

"It's very likely that she will give birth prematurely." Based on his experience, he guessed that the lady might give birth prematurely in a few months.

"Doctor, please prescribe whatever you need. Please make sure my wife and children are safe," Li Changgui said after hearing the seriousness of the matter.

After Sanbao sent the doctor away, he told the young master that his wife had received a letter from the Cui family in the capital outside the door, which was why her emotions were so volatile.

Li Changgui asked Qiao'er to bring the letter over.

I opened the already opened letter and read it quickly, feeling more and more depressed.

He had not expected that his father-in-law and mother-in-law's family would get involved in the fight for the throne and have a relationship with the fifth prince.

The emperor is now in his prime and is not at the stage of getting sick. It will take another 10 to 20 years for him to retire.

Too many ministers from the capital were involved, and many powerful officials began to take positions.

Li Changgui didn't think the Cui family would be able to succeed.

At night, Cui Luanluan woke up and found her husband sleeping lightly on the edge of the bed. She reached out to cover him with the quilt, but was awakened by her movement.

"Are you okay? Does it still hurt?" As soon as Li Changgui woke up, he started asking her how she was.

"Husband, I'm fine now and feel much better." Cui Luanluan felt ashamed for not taking good care of the child.

"It's okay, as long as you're okay," Li Changgui comforted her.

"Husband, from now on... from now on, just pretend that we don't have this relative." Cui Luanluan knew that those who participated in the fight for the throne would have a bad ending, and she didn't want her husband to be involved.

She decided to return all the money from her dowry to her parents as the last thing a daughter could do for them.

Li Changgui stayed at home and did not go out. He just accompanied Cui Luanluan to recuperate and studied with the baby in her belly.

The weather began to turn cooler, but the farmers in the fields were working busily. The harvest this year was very good, but Scholar Li was kind enough to collect only 40% of it, so they could have a full meal this year and no longer go hungry.

The Li residence in Jieyuan Alley in the north city was bustling with firecrackers being set off at the door, and red eggs were given to neighbors.

Li Changgui held his newborn son with a pale face, looking at his wife who had just been rescued from hemorrhage, and was so heartbroken that he could not stand.

"Mr. Li, your wife must not get pregnant again. The injured uterus cannot sustain the growth of the fetus." The old doctor went in to take the pulse after the midwife had cleaned up, and expressed pity for the couple in front of him.

"Doctor, please don't tell me that my wife can't get pregnant." Li Changgui didn't care whether she had a child or not, and didn't want to put his wife in danger again.

After hearing this, the old doctor said he understood, then prescribed some warming and nourishing herbal medicine, took three times the consultation fee and left.

Li Changgui took a towel and wiped the sweat off her face. The red spots on her face were exposed without any makeup. In his heart, Cui Luanluan was more beautiful than anyone else. Her beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin.

Sanbao hired a wet nurse to help feed the little boy, so Li Changgui let go and let Sanbao look after his son. The most important thing now was that his wife could wake up safely.

Until the evening of the third day.

Cui Luanluan opened her eyelids with pain all over her body, reached out and touched her belly, only to find that the baby had been born.

Li Changgui, who was resting nearby, heard the noise and turned around immediately.

"Luanluan, you're awake. I'm glad you're okay." Li Changgui didn't dare to imagine the scene at that time. The midwife came out and asked him to save the adult or the child. If it wasn't for the hundred-year-old wild ginseng collected in his space that saved Cui Luanluan, he couldn't imagine what he would do.

"Husband, where is the child? Is it a boy or a girl?" Cui Luanluan asked palely while lying on the bed.

"It's a son, and he's very healthy." In fact, he didn't really look at what his son looked like.

Cui Luanluan was very happy. Although she was about to lose half her life, it was all worth it as she could give birth to a son for her husband.

"We don't want to have children in the future. We just want one child." Li Changgui considerately poured her a glass of warm water and asked her to drink it.

"No, that won't work. I want to give birth to a daughter with you in the future." Cui Luanluan wanted to give birth to a daughter for her husband so that she could fulfill her wish of having both a son and a daughter.

"I want to grow old with you in the future, and I want you to experience the pain of childbirth again."

Li Changgui thought about going to the old doctor privately to get some medicine for male sterilization.

Cui Luanluan was very moved and leaned on her husband's chest.

The couple forgot about their son and had a sweet conversation in the bedroom.

In a bedroom not far away, Sanbao was holding the little boy and rocking him back and forth to coax him.
