After returning home, Su Yue immediately summoned Liang Junze, Gu Qingyan and others to discuss the matter.

"The Empress is putting you on the fire." Liang Junze frowned. "If the flood control is successful, the credit goes to her; if it fails, you will be the scapegoat."

Gu Qingyan sneered: "She has a good plan."

Su Yue rubbed his brows and said, "No matter what, this mission cannot be turned down."

She took out her tablet and retrieved the previously stored data on Yellow River management. "Fortunately, we have a wealth of experience in modern water management. We may not lose."

Lin Yuxuan said worriedly, "But the Empress is obviously testing you, and may even send someone to monitor you."

"It's okay." Su Yue curled her lips and smiled, "She is testing me, am I not testing her?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Since the Empress dares to employ me, it means she is not completely hostile to the Grand Emperor's lineage." Su Yue's eyes were firm. "If I can prove my worth, she might try to win me over."

Liang Junze pondered for a moment and nodded: "That makes sense."

"But..." Su Yue looked at Mu Feng, "I'm gone for at least a month, and the mansion will be handed over to you."

Mu Feng stroked her pregnant belly and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we are at home."

As dusk fell, the Su Mansion became quiet.

Mu Feng had just finished taking a shower and was wearing a loose nightgown. He was bending over to pick up Hanhan, who was lying on the couch playing the Nine Rings game.

The little guy has been particularly attached to him recently, and even has to hold the corner of his clothes before closing his eyes when he goes to bed at night.

"Hanhan, it's time to go to bed..." Mu Feng smiled and stretched out his hand. Just as his fingertips touched his son's back, his abdomen suddenly tightened violently. He groaned in pain and staggered, holding onto the corner of the table.

“Mu Feng?!” Lin Yuxuan, who was sorting the medicine box nearby, suddenly looked up and saw that his face was pale. He immediately rushed over to support him, “Are you going to give birth?!”

Mu Feng gritted his teeth and nodded, cold sweat already running down his forehead: "...a few days earlier than expected."

Lin Yuxuan immediately shouted outside the door: "Someone come! Mu Feng is about to give birth!"

With this shout, the entire Su Mansion was instantly brightly lit.

Liang Junze was originally checking accounts in the study. Upon hearing the voice, he immediately put down his brush and walked quickly towards the maternity hospital.

He had already arranged everything in advance, and now he calmly instructed his servants: "Prepare enough hot water, warm the ginseng soup, and go and get the mother immediately!"

Gu Qingyan was originally practicing sword in the yard. When he heard the noise, he didn't even have time to put away his sword. He jumped directly through the window into the corridor and almost knocked over Shangguan Haochen who was holding a medicine cup.

"What are you panicking about?" Shangguan Haochen steadied the medicine bowl and glared at him, "It's not your child!"

"I--" Gu Qingyan opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.

He was indeed panicking. Although this was not his first time being a father, Mu Feng had a difficult pregnancy and he was always afraid of accidents.

Zhou Chufan had already gone to bed, but when he heard the noise, he didn't even have time to put on his outer robe and ran out barefoot: "How's Brother Mu Feng?!"

"Don't make trouble!" Shen Yunyan grabbed him and said, "Go and carry Yaoyao and Xinxin to the side yard. Don't scare the children."

Hanhan was lying on the couch. Seeing the adults suddenly busy, he blinked blankly and tugged at Lin Yuxuan's clothes with his little hands.

Lin Yuxuan bent down and rubbed his head: "Hanhan, be good. Daddy Mufeng is going to give birth to a little sister for you. You go to sleep with Daddy Yunyan first, okay?"

Hanhan stared at Mu Feng's pale face for a few seconds, suddenly climbed down from the couch, staggered to Mu Feng, and gently patted his belly with his little hand, as if to comfort him.

Mu Feng's breathing was originally tight due to the pain, but he couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "...baby, Daddy is fine."

In the delivery room, the delivery man and Lin Yuxuan, who had been prepared, quickly took their positions.

Su Yue helped Mu Feng lie down and held his hand tightly: "Don't be afraid, we are all here."

Mu Feng took a deep breath and forced a smile: "...It shouldn't take too long this time."

Lin Yuxuan had already washed his hands and changed his clothes, and he skillfully checked the fetal position: "The fetal position is correct, the cervix is ​​dilating faster, and it's going better than last time."

Liang Junze brought ginseng soup and fed it to Mu Feng: "Save some energy, don't rush to use force."

Gu Qingyan stood outside the door with his fists clenched tightly. He wanted to go in but was afraid of causing trouble, so he could only pace back and forth in the corridor.

Shangguan Haomu couldn't bear it and held him down: "Can you please be quiet for a while? With Yuxuan here, nothing will happen."

"I know..." Gu Qingyan scratched his hair irritably, "but I just -"

Before he could finish his words, Mu Feng's suppressed cry of pain suddenly came from the delivery room. Gu Qingyan froze and almost rushed in, but Liang Junze quickly stopped him: "Don't worry, it will be over soon."

Sure enough, within half an hour, Lin Yuxuan's joyful voice rang out from the room: "The head is out! Mu Feng, try harder!"

Mu Feng clenched his teeth, veins bulged slightly on his forehead, and his fingers gripped the mattress tightly.

Su Yue half hugged him, letting him lean against her arms, and whispered encouragement: "It will be fine soon..."

"Wow--!"

A loud baby cry suddenly rang out, breaking the tense air.

"It's a daughter!" Lin Yuxuan shouted excitedly, "We have another daughter!"

Mu Feng fell back on the pillow exhausted, his long hair soaked with sweat, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

The midwife cut the umbilical cord neatly and brought the baby wrapped in a brocade quilt to Mu Feng: "Congratulations, sir, it's a beautiful little girl!"

The little girl's red face was wrinkled into a ball. Her eyes were not open yet, but she was already waving her little fists and her voice was louder than that of a newborn baby.

Mu Feng cried with joy and gently touched his daughter's cheek with his fingertips: "...She really looks like Yaoyao when she was a child."

Su Yue lowered her head and kissed his forehead, saying softly, "Thank you for your hard work."

As soon as the door opened, Gu Qingyan almost rushed in.

"Mu Feng! How are you?!" He half-knelt beside the bed, holding Mu Feng's hand, his voice trembling.

Mu Feng chuckled: "...It's okay, look at our daughter."

Gu Qingyan then turned to look at the baby in the midwife's arms. Just one glance and her eyes became red.

"I...we have another daughter?" He carefully took the child, his arms so stiff that he didn't know how to hold her, for fear of hurting her.

The little girl seemed to sense her father's nervousness. She suddenly opened her eyes, her black grape-like eyeballs rolled around, and she actually grinned at Gu Qingyan with her toothless mouth.

Gu Qingyan: “!!!”

He froze in place, then looked at Mu Feng in ecstasy: "She smiled at me! She likes me!"

Mu Feng was helpless: "...How can a newborn baby laugh?"

"Nonsense! I just laughed!" Gu Qingyan resolutely refused to admit it. He lowered his head and rubbed his daughter's face with the tip of his nose. "Daddy's little cotton-padded jacket, if anyone bullies you in the future, daddy will help you beat him up!"

Everyone: "..."

Shangguan Haochen rolled his eyes: "It's over, this guy is beyond saving."

Liang Junze smiled and shook his head, looking at Su Yue: "Have you thought of a name?"

Su Yue said softly: "Mu Feng wasn't very noisy when she was pregnant, so let's call her Mu Shuning."

"Shunning..." Mu Feng whispered it again, his eyebrows and eyes gentle, "It sounds nice."

Hanhan was brought in by Shen Yunyan at some point and was lying on the edge of the bed, staring at his little sister curiously.

Gu Qingyan boasted proudly: "Hanhan, this is your sister. You have to protect her from now on, understand?"

Hanhan looked at his father expressionlessly, turned around and tugged at Mu Feng's sleeve, indicating that he wanted a hug.

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Everyone laughed.

Liang Junze patted his shoulder: "Okay, if your son doesn't kiss you, don't you still have a daughter?"

Gu Qingyan snorted, lowered his head and kissed Ningning's forehead, and instantly smiled again: "My daughter is still the best!"
