Travel to the mountains and make a fortune in silence

So the midwife quickly picked the baby upside down and then slapped its bottom several times without hesitation.

Sure enough, the child seemed to be awakened by the pats and started crying loudly.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, Madam simply fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion; she is perfectly fine."

After examining Wang Qing'er's condition, one of the midwives turned to Mu Nan and said...

Hearing this, Mu Nan finally felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders.

He glanced gratefully at the midwife, then turned his gaze to his daughter-in-law.

Next, the two midwives efficiently took care of the baby and the mother.

They first wrapped the baby in soft cotton cloth, then carefully handed him to Mu Nan. The midwife said with a smile, "Your Excellency, please hold the baby."

Mu Nan quickly took the child and held him in her arms.

Looking at the tiny baby in my arms, I felt a surge of emotion.

At this moment, several maids hurriedly came in carrying clean clothes and hot water.

They quickly wiped Wang Qing'er's body and helped her change into dry clothes.

After everything was tidied up, Mu Nan gently picked up Wang Qing'er and carefully returned to the bedroom.

Not long after, Dr. Wang also rushed over.

He first checked her complexion and breathing, and then carefully took Wang Qing'er's pulse.

After a while, Dr. Wang slowly withdrew his hand, a relaxed smile appearing on his face.

"Dr. Wang, how is my wife?" Mu Nan asked hurriedly when she saw Dr. Wang withdraw his hand.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, the young mistress is fine. She will recover completely after a period of recuperation," Doctor Wang said with a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that both mother and daughter were safe and sound.

He had already conducted a thorough examination of the child, and although the child weighed only 3.9 pounds, he believed that with careful feeding, the child's weight would soon reach the standard.

"Thank you very much, Doctor Wang. I hope you can stay at the manor today so that I can check on my wife and child at any time." Mu Nan spoke earnestly, expressing her sincere gratitude to Doctor Wang and requesting that he stay at the manor to observe her and her child for a period of time.

Doctor Wang readily agreed, knowing full well Mu Nan's concern for his wife and daughter, and naturally would not refuse.

"Your Excellency, Lord Shang is still waiting in the front courtyard," a maidservant rushed in to report.

Mu Xiao only sent her maid in to report that her sister-in-law had given birth safely after hearing that her sister-in-law had given birth to a daughter.

Upon hearing this, Mu Nan pondered for a moment, then turned to Princess Jin Xuan and said, "Princess, could you please keep an eye on things here? I'm going to the front yard."

Princess Jinxuan smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, elder brother, I will take good care of my sister-in-law and niece."

Mu Nan left with peace of mind, quickly walking towards the front yard.

Mu Nan arrived at the front yard and saw several people sitting in the hall. She noticed that the three men had different expressions on their faces.

Mu Xiao's face was so dark it looked like it could drip water. He gritted his teeth and glared at Shang Congwen, while Shang Congwen remained calm and composed, seemingly unconcerned about Mu Xiao's anger.

In contrast, Shang Congjian looked somewhat embarrassed. He would steal glances at Mu Xiao from time to time, then quickly look away.

Mu Nan looked at the three people, her heart filled with doubt.

He didn't understand why Mu Xiao was so angry, or why Shang Congwen and Shang Congjian had such expressions.

So he asked, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Mu Xiao glared at Shang Congwen, then said to Mu Nan in an annoyed tone, "Big brother, ask Lord Shang yourself!" After saying that, he sat down to the side, puffing out his cheeks, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Mu Nan turned her gaze directly to Shang Congwen, signaling him to explain.

Without further ado, Shang Congwen first congratulated Mu Nan and then explained in detail his desire to marry Mu Qin.

After listening, Mu Nan remained silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I have something to attend to at home today, you should go back first!"

After saying that, he turned and left the house without even glancing at Shang Congwen and Shang Congjian again.

Before Mu Nan left the house, he called out to Mu Xiao.

Mu Xiao followed Mu Nan out of the house, leaving the two Shang brothers inside, looking at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, Shang Congjian said dejectedly, "Brother, I told you this matter wasn't that simple."

Shang Congwen frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "You go back first, I'll wait a bit longer."

Shang Congjian nodded and said, "Then I'll go back first and bring Miss Zitong back." After saying that, he hurriedly left the house.

Upon returning to the mansion, Wu Zitong rushed into Mu Qin's arms like a child and burst into tears as soon as she entered the room.

Mu Qin was startled by her cousin's sudden action, but she quickly recovered and gently patted Wu Zitong's back, softly comforting her, "Okay, Zitong, I'm fine, don't cry."

Wu Zitong looked up, sobbing, her face streaked with tears, and said reproachfully, "Cousin, you really scared me to death! How come you weren't scared at all?"

Mu Qin smiled helplessly: "Of course I was scared. You have no idea how scared I was. My legs were so weak that I couldn't stand up. It was Brother Shang who helped me up so that I could barely stand up."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zitong's eyes widened in disbelief, and she said, "Cousin, how can you still laugh? I think you're completely heartless!"

Wu Zitong thought for a moment and then asked in confusion, "Cousin, didn't we agree that after we found you, we would secretly take you to the store? Why did you go straight home?"

Mu Qin blushed slightly, lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Shang took me straight home. He said... he said he wanted to marry me."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zitong was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. After a long while, she came to her senses and asked, "Are you telling the truth? Brother Shang really said he wanted to marry you?"

Mu Qin nodded shyly and replied softly, "Mm."

Wu Zitong jumped up excitedly, clapped her hands and laughed, "Haha, cousin, you've really turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise!"

"We don't know if it's a blessing or a curse yet. We don't know if our parents, brother, and sister-in-law will agree."

Mu Qin's voice was slightly low, revealing a hint of disappointment.

Her gaze was somewhat unfocused, as if she were pondering something, and the worry in her heart made her brows furrow slightly.

Seeing this, Wu Zitong asked with concern, "Cousin, are you really not bothered by Brother Shang's concubines?"

Her tone carried a hint of doubt. The presence of concubines was often a challenge and a source of trouble for the principal wife, let alone the fact that Shang Congwen had so many concubines in his harem.
