A life of ups and downs is pure joy

Xiao Yi didn't care about any etiquette and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Huan'er..."

What came into view was Lin Qinghuan's pale and bloodless face, Xiao Qianwen who was covered in blood, and a group of frightened midwives.

"Brother, how could my sister-in-law have a hemorrhage? It's impossible... just being angry can't cause a hemorrhage!"

Xiao Qianwen looked at Xiao Yi with a look of horror and helplessness, and said in a crying voice.

"Huan'er, don't be afraid. I've called all the doctors in Jinhan City to come."

Xiao Yi stepped forward and picked up the weak and dazed Lin Qinghuan, as if he was holding a soft rag doll in his arms.

The strong smell of blood in the room filled his nostrils. He had never thought that one day this woman would become like this for him. Tears of heartache flowed down his cheeks.

"Brother, I have no other options. I can't save my sister-in-law."

Xiao Qianwen broke down and cried.

When Zi Yan heard this, her legs went limp with fear and she collapsed to the ground. She looked back helplessly at Ning Jinyang who was walking towards her.

Lin Qingwan looked towards the inner room nervously, frowning all the time, her palms clenched tightly in her sleeves, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Ever since she knew that her mother's death was caused by Lin Qinghuan and Lin Mo, the seeds of hatred have been buried deeper and deeper. Accompanying Lin Qinghuan to play the piano for eight months also made her contaminated with the scent of life-threatening for eight months. Now, when she heard about the hemorrhage, she didn't know whether to be happy or regretful. Standing at the door, she also smelled the smell of blood, and her heart was full of mixed feelings.

"What's wrong with Changping?" Ning Jinyang asked as he trotted over.

At this time, Ning Sijue also hurried over with a group of imperial doctors. When they saw Ning Jinyang, they immediately knelt down and saluted.

"Why are you still being polite at this time? Go in and save them."

Without waiting for the group of people to kneel down, Ning Jinyang spoke.

Ning Sijue helped Zi Yan, who was lying on the ground, up, and took out an exquisite jade box from his arms and handed it to her.

"Here, take it inside and give it to Miss Wen."

Zi Yan took the box and felt a piercing coldness in her palms. She didn't care what was in it and ran in hurriedly.

Lin Qinghuan, who had been in a coma for several days, opened his eyes and saw the anxious faces of He Su and Lin Mo.

"Mother, Sister Mo."

Lin Qinghuan's voice was very weak.

"Good boy, you've suffered so much. How come you look so haggard after just a few months of not seeing you?"

He Su said distressedly.

"Huan'er, are you still feeling bad? It's all because your sister isn't by your side."

Lin Mo helped her up and took the ginseng soup that Chu Xia brought over. As soon as she came in front of Lin Mo, Lin Qinghuan naturally behaved well and drank the soup fed by her sister one mouthful at a time.

"I'm still alive..."

Lin Qinghuan vaguely remembered that what was happening before her eyes was a mixture of emptiness, darkness, and a moment of paleness. She never expected that when she opened her eyes, she would be lying on the familiar bed again.

"Silly boy, of course you are alive."

He Su said gently.

Xiao Qianwen came over holding a sleeping baby, and Lin Qingyi followed beside her, looking at the child curiously.

"Hurry up and tell Huan'er to see how beautiful our baby is."

He Su took the child and gently placed him next to Lin Qinghuan.

Lin Qinghuan, with a pale face, looked at the soft and tender little baby beside him in a daze. The baby was indeed good-looking, with eyes and eyebrows that looked very much like himself.

"The child is very well-behaved. The wet nurse is someone I brought from Luofeng. Just leave her to look after the child. You have suffered from the sins and your Qi and blood have been depleted. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince sent you the life-saving herbs that brought you back from the brink of death."

He Su said as she gently touched the baby's face.

"As soon as Daddy and Mother heard that you had a difficult birth, they hurried over from Luofeng overnight, traveling several days by carriage."

Lin Mo said softly beside him.

Lin Qinghuan bit her lip, thinking of Lin Muchang's old injury and how she had made him so worried, she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Silly child, why are you crying? It's good that you're awake. Your father hasn't been able to eat or drink these past few days. He will be happy when he sees you awake after returning from the emperor's visit."

He Su picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears of the poor girl.

"Mother, I want to go back to Luofeng City."

Lin Qinghuan could no longer hold back her tears and threw herself into He Su's arms.

"Good boy, don't cry, mother is here, we are all here."

He Su hugged Lin Qinghuan tightly and patted her back gently to comfort her.

Lin Mo and Xiao Qianwen looked at each other, and He Su also noticed that there was something wrong with their expressions.

"Huan'er, are you hungry? I asked someone to make your favorite porridge. Can you have some?"

He Su wiped Lin Qinghuan's tears, then wiped her own tears and spoke softly.

Lin Qinghuan nodded obediently, and looked at the sleeping baby for a while, feeling very strange.

"Huan'er, although the Ice Butterfly Flower saved your life, you are still deficient in Yin and Blood. What you need most now is to calm down and take good care of your body. Don't get angry. Sleep a little longer. I'll call you when Daddy comes back."

Lin Mo tucked the quilt for Lin Qinghuan, touched her face and spoke softly.

Xiao Qianwen gently closed the door, leaving Chuxia and Yunxiang to serve her.

"Are you two hiding something from me?" He Su asked Lin Mo and Xiao Qianwen while sitting in the seat of honor in the front hall of Qingbo Courtyard.

"Mother, Huan'er survived this time, but she was seriously injured. I'm afraid she won't be able to..." Lin Mo said, shaking his head.

He Su looked at her for a long time, then sighed.

"Does Yi'er know about this?" He Su asked.

"Big brother already knew about it." Xiao Qianwen said in a low voice.

"Let's keep this a secret from Huan'er for now. I'm afraid she can't bear it now." He Su muttered with a frown.

"Big brother has been guarding my sister-in-law these days. He also said that as long as my sister-in-law is fine, nothing else matters."

Xiao Qianwen was afraid that the Lin family would fall out with the Xiao family over this matter, so she hurriedly explained.

He Su just looked at her without saying anything. The good child had become like this in just a few months. Not to mention that she felt heartbroken, she also estimated that it would be impossible for her husband to reconcile with the Xiao family.

"Wen'er, the medicine is still being boiled in the small kitchen. The servants are not careful. Please go and help me watch the fire."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, Lin Mo spoke.

Xiao Qianwen nodded, bowed to He Su and left.

Late spring and early summer were originally the best days for the entire Xiao Mansion. The eldest son had a little boy, and the whole mansion had already hung the latest red lanterns. However, there was no trace of joy in the atmosphere. Liu Ji hurriedly went to Qingbo Courtyard with the support of Liu Rong.

"Why didn't anyone tell me that my mother-in-law is here?" Liu Ji complained as she walked.

"My elder sister has not been feeling well these days, and she was frightened by Huan'er's incident. You slept late last night, so I didn't have the heart to wake you up." Liu Rong explained beside her.

"You, you still have to care about my health at this time. My mother has come to blame me, but as her mother-in-law, I have not shown up. It's so unreasonable." Liu Ji said helplessly.

"Eldest sister, please slow down." Liu Rong said as she supported Liu Ji who was jogging.

After Lin Mutang and Xiao Bowen and Xiao Yi, father and son, met the emperor, they took a carriage to the Xiao Mansion together. When the three of them arrived at the Xiao Mansion, Liu Ji had already had a cup of tea with He Su in the main hall of the Xiao Mansion. Lin Mutang saw that He Su's face looked very bad.

"How is my Huan'er?" Lin Mutang walked forward and asked.

"Huan'er has woken up, awake." Liu Ji said hurriedly, and Lin Mutang felt relieved when he heard this.

"Please take a seat, father-in-law." Xiao Yi said from the side.

Lin Mutang glanced at him, groaned, and sat down. Xiao Bowen could only smile and sit down with him, and then ordered the servants to serve tea.

"My wife, son, and I have been away from Jin Han for only a few months, and my daughter has already suffered such a terrible crime. I almost know the reason. Fortunately, my son is fine. Now, what does your Xiao family plan to do?"

Lin Mutang asked directly to the point.

"The most important thing is that Huan'er is safe and sound. Everything else is easy to deal with." Xiao Bowen said.

"I wonder what my father-in-law means by this?"

He Su asked.

"Huan'er gave birth to a legitimate grandson for our Xiao family and suffered so much. Now we must take good care of her and not let her suffer any injustice."

After Xiao Bowen finished speaking, Liu Ji also nodded with a smile.

"Master Xiao, you are a smart man. Why do you need to say such vague Tai Chi words? Why do we, an old couple, need to come all the way here to tell you to take care of Huan'er, a trivial matter?"

He Su said somewhat unhappily.

"I don't understand what my mother-in-law means."

Xiao Bowen stroked his beard and asked softly.

"It seems that Lord Xiao intends to pretend to be ignorant today. There is nothing more to discuss."

He Su angrily slammed the cup in her hand onto the table, and the maid next to her shuddered with fear.

"Don't be angry, mother-in-law. Everything can be discussed."

Liu Ji said quickly, and signaled the maid next to her to bring over a cup of tea.

"Since the Xiao family is unwilling to discuss matters sincerely, there's no point in drinking this tea anymore. We'll take Huan'er back and take care of her ourselves."

Seeing this, Lin Mutang was about to stand up, but Xiao Bowen quickly stood up and held him back.

"Father-in-law, don't be anxious or angry, let's talk it over."

"From the beginning till now, you haven't mentioned a single word about the reason for my Huan'er's premature birth. Do you really think that once our daughter of the Lin family gets married, her parents will no longer care about her?"

Lin Mutang said angrily, shaking his sleeves.

"Alas! Brother Lin, don't be angry. We are wrong in this matter. How can I have the nerve to mention such an embarrassing matter?"

Xiao Bowen signaled Xiao Yi to comfort the angry He Su.

Xiao Yi personally took the new tea from the maid and handed it respectfully to He Su.

"You, you, I really underestimated you and misjudged you before."

He Su took the tea angrily and glared at Xiao Yi.

Liu Ji, who was sitting opposite, was very unhappy when she saw this. Now that they were no longer in the right place, she could only let others scold her eldest son.

"That child has been raised outside since he was young. His mother is of humble status, so it is impossible for him to enter our Xiao family. So, Brother Lin, you can rest assured." Xiao Bowen said.

"I don't care whether that woman enters the Xiao Mansion or not. What I care about is what are you going to do with that child?" Lin Mutang asked.

"This... this child is of the Xiao family's bloodline after all..."

Liu Ji already knew that Lin Qinghuan was injured, and she must want to take the child back now.

"My mother-in-law's intention is to take the mother away and keep the son, and take your wonderful grandson back. Is that right?"

He Su asked with a serious face.

"This...this child is innocent after all."

Liu Ji said with difficulty and in a very weak voice.

"My Huan'er went through so much hardship and nearly risked her life to give birth to your grandson. Now that he's still barely able to walk, you're planning on taking that little baby back. It's truly heartbreaking!"

He Su said while panting heavily.

"This matter can be discussed, it can be discussed, mother-in-law, please don't be angry."

Xiao Bowen quickly shook his head at Liu Ji.

"What else is there to discuss? Your Xiao family has gone too far in bullying others. Now the general and I can't get any benefit from sitting here, let alone my poor orphan. No wonder she is being bullied and can't even get off the ground. General, you don't know, Huan'er..."

As He Su spoke, she began to cry.

"What happened to my Huan'er?"

Lin Mutang stood up anxiously and asked.

"General, it's impossible for my Huan'er to get pregnant again in this lifetime. The Xiao family is too much of a bully. I feel sorry for my son."

He Su became angrier as she spoke, and then she stood up.

Lin Mutang was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, then he clenched his fists and stood up.

"No more talking, no more talking. I'm going to go see my son. As for the descendants of your Xiao family, I don't care about them anymore."

After Lin Mutang finished speaking, he took He Su to Qingbo Courtyard.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi bowed to his parents and went to catch up with his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"Master, what does General Lin mean?"

Liu Ji asked in confusion.

"You, you, are only causing more trouble."

Xiao Bowen looked at Liu Ji helplessly, shook his head and sighed.

"I'm also considering the descendants of the Xiao family." Liu Ji said with some grievance.

"When did I tell you that... Never mind, come with me to get the Lin Marquis and his wife back."

Xiao Bowen thought for a moment and stood up and said.
