Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law-Chapter 543

As soon as the baby’s cries were heard, a maid went out to report the news.

"Master, Master, the madam has given birth, it’s a boy," the maid said excitedly.

Chen Mo had just breathed a sigh of relief when another maid came out of the delivery room: "Master, something’s wrong, the second madam has fainted."

"What?!"

Chen Mo’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly walked into the delivery room.

Wu Mi handed the child to Xiao Yunxi and followed closely behind.

Although Wu Mi had just given birth a few days ago, due to good care during pregnancy and being a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, she didn’t need to go through postpartum confinement.

When she heard that Han Anniang was about to give birth, she quickly came over with the child.

...

In the room, Han Anniang lay on the bed, eyes closed, her face as pale as paper, not a hint of blood visible. The sweat flowing from her body had soaked through her clothes.

"Mi’Er, is An Niang okay?" Looking at Han Anniang, Chen Mo asked Wu Mi, who was taking her pulse, with a tense expression.

After a moment, Wu Mi released Han Anniang’s hand and softly said, "Husband, you don’t need to worry, An Niang is fine.

She fainted because she was too exhausted, and her body is weak. After she wakes up and recuperates for a while, everything will be alright."

"That’s good."

Hearing this, Chen Mo sighed in relief. When he heard Han Anniang had fainted, he was worried to death. Even when he started rebelling, he had never been so anxious before.

He sat beside the bed, holding Han Anniang’s hand. To him, she was not only the first to accompany him but also the most important person in his heart, even above Wu Mi and the children.

"Ten...pounds?"

Just then, the midwife who was cleaning the child weighed him according to tradition and found he was as heavy as ten pounds.

In her experience, newborns usually weigh between five and eight pounds.

The ones she previously delivered like Chen You, Chen Nuo, and Chen Jia were all within this range.

But a ten-pound newborn, she’d never seen before.

Chen Mo looked over.

Wu Mi’s expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly stepped forward to examine the baby.

Seeing Wu Mi like this, Chen Mo’s heart lifted again, fearing there might be something wrong with the child...

After a while, Wu Mi frowned slightly and said, "Strange? "

"What’s wrong?" Chen Mo held his breath, nervously asking.

"Medical books state that normally, newborn weights range from five to eight pounds, and those outside this range tend to have issues. But from my examination, he’s very healthy," Wu Mi said puzzled.

"Ah..." Chen Mo’s heart skipped a beat and said, "Mi’Er, take another careful look."

"Okay."

Wu Mi examined carefully again, then shook her head and said, "There’s nothing wrong, perhaps he is an exception."

"Phew..."

Chen Mo let out a long sigh of relief, as long as he’s alright. If there were issues, Chen Mo feared An Niang wouldn’t accept it when she woke up.

He took the crying child from Wu Mi and laughed lightly, saying, "Since you’re heavier than usual, we’ll call you Chen Zhong (Chong)."

"???" Wu Mi was stunned.

"Reunite," Chen Mo said.

It was then Wu Mi realized. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

...

Later that evening, Han Anniang woke up.

Chen Mo stayed by her side without leaving, and as she awoke, just as he was about to speak, Han Anniang asked about the child.

Perhaps because she waited so long, but upon waking, the first thing she asked about was the child, making Chen Mo feel a tinge of jealousy.

But he quickly smiled and shook his head, amused at himself for being jealous of a child, saying, "Chong’er just fell asleep."

As he spoke, Chen Mo pointed to the baby in swaddling clothes on the inner side of the bed.

Han Anniang quickly turned her head to look, seeing her child, a hint of a smile appeared on her pale face, saying, "My child, my family’s child."

Then, Han Anniang asked, "Erlang, what did you call the child just now?"

"Chong’er, I named him Chen Zhong, with the character for ’reunite’, he’s a boy." Chen Mo replied.

"Why this name, does it have special meaning?" Han Anniang asked weakly.

"Because Chong’er was heavier than other children at birth. Moreover, the character ’Zhong’ implies meticulousness and integrity." After saying this, Chen Mo told her what happened since she fainted.

After listening, Han Anniang felt a bit scared, fixating on the swaddled child with a motherly smile: "As long as he’s okay, everything’s okay, Chong’er, my Chong’er."

From then on, she never needed to envy anyone else again.

"An Niang, as Mi’Er mentioned earlier, your body is quite weak, and you need to recuperate well after waking. The child will be fed by a wet nurse for now," Chen Mo said.

Han Anniang thought for a moment and nodded.

...

Originally, Chen Mo planned to go to Fengzhou after Han Anniang gave birth.

But seeing her so weak, Chen Mo decided to stay with her and delay his departure.

However, Princess Zhaoqing of Copper Sparrow Garden had an opinion.

In Xiangyang City, Xiao Yunxi had few acquaintances, and Princess Zhaoqing, Chu Ran, was one of them.

So Xiao Yunxi would often visit Chu Ran to chat when she had the time.

In front of her, Xiao Yunxi naturally frequently praised Chen Mo.

Over time, Chu Ran’s heart completely accepted Chen Mo, ready and prepared.

But since Chen Mo returned, he hadn’t visited her.

This made her suspect that Chen Mo had lost interest in her.

Interestingly, Chu Ran’s thoughts were peculiar.

Previously, she was afraid Chen Mo would touch her.

But now, she’s worried that Chen Mo has lost interest in her.

Xiao Yunxi naturally noticed Chu Ran’s thoughts.

After all, she kept praising Chen Mo to Chu Ran to make sure she embraced Chen Mo without any resistance.

The reason she was so diligent was simply to draw Chu Ran in, increasing her influence within Duke An’s Mansion.

Xiao Yunxi held Chu Ran’s delicate hand, smiling as her beautiful eyes under curved brows glimmered, saying, "I know what’s on your mind, leave it to me."

Chu Ran: "..."

...

March 4th.

After several days of recuperation, Han Anniang’s complexion had become more rosy, able to move freely.

In the backyard, Han Anniang held the child, with Wu Mi and Xia Zhiqing, who also had children, basking in the sunshine.

The early spring sun was warm and comfortable.

Watching the women, Chen Mo settled down, pondering when to head to Huai State.

At this time, Xiao Yunxi walked in from outside.

The graceful lady swayed as she walked, seeing Chen Mo she smiled: "Husband, I have something to tell you."

To prevent Zheng’Er from provoking Chen Mo’s displeasure by being around too much.

Last year, Xiao Yunxi had sent the child to the Xiao family.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow: "What is it?"
