Chapter 1025: Chapter 825 Waiting on Him

Tuoba Lie pointed at the clothes that had been removed, "Wash these for me."

"This is supposed to be washed by the laundry department," Nan Feng said.

"But now I have you, don’t I? Your hands are so skilled, can’t you wash them cleaner than they would?"

Without making excuses, Nan Feng replied, "Yes, this servant will go wash the clothes."

She packed the clothes into a wooden basin and walked out.

Tuoba Lie watched her retreating figure. From behind, one couldn’t tell she was pregnant, but the way she carried the wooden basin seemed extremely laborious.

Tuoba Lie couldn’t help thinking, was he being too harsh?

...

At the Military Camp, Tuoba Lie was watching his troops drill, but his mind was restless all morning.

An old general by his side noticed his preoccupation and couldn’t help asking, "Does Your Highness have something on his mind? If there’s anything, you can leave this place to me, I will take good care of it."

Tuoba Lie shook his head, about to leave, but suddenly turned back, "Right, you said two days ago that you just had a new grandson?"

"Indeed," the old general’s face brightened with joy when he mentioned his grandson, "Thanks to the blessings of heaven, I will invite you for a drink when the time comes. You must come if you’re free, Your Highness."

Tuoba Lie first nodded and then asked, "Was there anything your daughter-in-law could or couldn’t do before giving birth to your son? I’ve heard that pregnant women need to be very cautious."

"This matter..." the old general said, "can be either major or minor. When my wife was pregnant with our first child, she didn’t pay much attention and was eager to do every kind of work. Not long after the birth, she was back in the fields working, and she has suffered from headaches and joint pains ever since. I heard it was because she didn’t take good care of her body during pregnancy. My grandson is very caring of his wife; after she got pregnant, she didn’t need to do any work—all was taken care of by the servants. But I’m not too familiar with women’s issues. Aren’t the wives in the Xi Ge family doing everything? And they don’t have the problems my wife has."

Tuoba Lie nodded, it seemed to vary from person to person.

When he was in the modern era, he didn’t have much contact with pregnant women. He did have a few subordinates whose wives were pregnant, and they went out and messed around; some of them were even pregnant and carrying knives, appearing very fierce. As for what to pay attention to during pregnancy, he really didn’t know.

Anyway, heavy labor should be avoided, right?

Does washing clothes count as heavy labor?

Helping with dressing or occasionally wiping a table couldn’t be considered heavy labor, could it? Aren’t many working women doing their jobs up until just a few days before giving birth?

With these thoughts in mind, Tuoba Lie stopped worrying about it.

He intended to torment Nan Feng; how could he possibly let her live comfortably?

...

On the grasslands, there are many rivers, and if one dries up, there will be water elsewhere, which is why nomadic tribes thrive. However, people on the grasslands do not waste water lightly, nor do they allow washing directly by the river. Generally, they carry the water to a distant place to wash.

Therefore, Nan Feng had to carry water basin by basin, which was extremely exhausting, especially with her enlarged belly. Bending over for long periods could lead to fatigue, and the water here was very cold. Normally, during menstruation, one shouldn’t have too much contact with cold water, let alone now that she was pregnant.

She felt that this wouldn’t do, she couldn’t let Tuoba Lie off so easily, and she shouldn’t fall victim to rheumatism or anything during pregnancy.

Tuoba Lie only required her to wash the clothes without specifying how they should be washed, so she simply poured a basin of water over them to wet the clothes and then wrung them out, scrubbing any particularly dirty spots by hand.
