Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent!
Chapter 1413: Prosperous Husband

Chapter 1413: Chapter 1413: Prosperous Husband

Wong Family, Lady Li was assisting her daughter around the room, the bed in the birthing room was already made, the midwife asked a few questions, and Yu Lu felt okay and was not in a rush to lie down.

Lady Li, on the other hand, was nervous, it felt different when it was her daughter and daughter-in-law giving birth, "Don’t push through if you feel uncomfortable."

Yu Lu touched her belly, "Mother, I feel okay, the midwife just checked me, the baby is in the right position, don’t worry."

Lady Li, "If this child doesn’t come out, I will not be at peace."

She did not originally want to visit her daughter today, she had been coming to the Wong residence too often lately, and she was worried the Wong family might have suspicions.

After breakfast, she couldn’t sit still, so she gathered her things and headed for the Wong residence. Upon arriving, she found her daughter well, which settled her mind somewhat, but shortly after their conversation, her daughter began to go into labor – this truly showed the bond between mother and daughter.

By the time Qing Xue arrived, Yu Lu was already lying in the bed. Qing Xue said, "The old lady noticed you hadn’t returned and felt that Miss Yu Lu was about to give birth, so she sent me to check on you."

Lady Li clapped her hands, "I knew I had forgotten something, I was so focused on Yu Lu that I forgot to send word back home."

Qing Xue smiled, "I will stay here too. You can send a young servant back to report, and I will return once the child is born."

Lady Li was pleased upon hearing this. Qing Xue was the old lady’s head maid, and now there were no maids by the old lady’s side, everything was managed by Qing Xue.

Having Qing Xue present on behalf of the old lady showed the Zhou family’s regard for Yu Lu.

In the birthing room, Yu Lu felt a downward pressure in her belly, clutching her fists tightly. It was hot, and the birthing room stuffy; soon, she was soaked with perspiration, feeling extremely uncomfortable yet had to endure waves of pain while conserving her strength.

The outside was bustling, with the old lady herself coming over, and the other wives of the family were present too, with the old grandmother hoping it would be a boy.

The second and third wives hoped for a girl, each eager to see the first wife disappointed.

Lady Tao kept her eyes on the clock, wondering why time was passing so slowly.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan heard the news and sincerely hoped for a boy. If the first child was a boy, Yu Lu could be relieved of the pressure of continuing the lineage – alas, the burden of lineage in big noble families!

Zhao’s wife arrived at the main courtyard, "Mother, Yu Lu is really blessed, don’t worry."

Su Xuan also said, "Yes, this child will surely be a boy."

Yu Lu was indeed blessed; her first childbirth went very smoothly, taking less than three hours for the child, a boy weighing five and a half pounds, to be born. The child was well-nourished in the womb, his hair not like that of a newborn, and he had a particularly loud cry and very strong legs.

Upon the child’s birth, Lady Tao could almost grin from ear to ear, muttering, "Yu Lu is fortunate indeed."

Lady Li also beamed with joy, as the birth of a grandson lessened her daughter’s pressure, "Yu Lu is lucky to have your care."

Lady Tao felt very pleased hearing this. Lady Li had become more articulate, indeed she took good care of Yu Lu.

The old lady holding the baby, her heart melting, "This child looks like his grandfather, especially the ears, look how big the earlobes are, this child is very fortunate."

The old lady could not let go of the child, now her arms did not feel tired, and she felt more spirited, oh, the Wong family has a fifth generation, Yu Lu really strived well, she turned to her maid, "I have two sets of headdresses suitable for Yu Lu, go fetch them."

The second and third wives felt sour at heart right from the child’s birth, and now, hearing the old lady’s words, they felt even more aggrieved.

Lady Tao, seeing them, felt particularly vindicated, the second and third wives had wished for Yu Lu to have a girl, as if she didn’t know!

Upon hearing of Yu Lu’s birth of a boy, Zhulan repeatedly said that Yu Lu indeed was fortunate, and got up to select presents for the child.

When Zhou Shuren returned, he saw the displayed items on the table, "What’s all this?"

"Yu Lu’s son was born, I’m picking out gifts for the child."

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, "Just married and already blessed with a son, the Wong family will surely value Yu Lu even more."

As a grandfather, he could now rest easy. With two granddaughters, he was not worried about Yushuang at all, rather he concerned himself with Yu Lu’s lineage. Lineage was fate, not something humans could plan, and now he could be at peace.

Zhulan pointed to the complete set of jade-carved zodiac animals on the table, and some carved Jade Pendants, "Should I give a complete set, or choose a Jade Pendant?"

With many children at home, whenever she obtained good materials, she would draw some zodiac pictures for the master to carve. Medium quality materials were carved into complete sets, while high-quality materials were carved individually.

Zhou Shuren pointed to the complete set, "I think the complete set is quite good, suitable for children to play with."

Zhulan smiled, "Then I’ll listen to you."

The next day, after the morning court, Zhou Shuren took the initiative to look for Old Master Wong, "Congratulations, Old Master."

Old Master Wong laughed heartily, "The same to you, the same to you."

Wong Ju was also very delighted, as the main wife no longer had to worry about heirs, "The same to you."

As Zhou Shuren and Old Master Wong walked out, everyone now knew that the Wong family had added a member; the Wong family’s difficulty with heirs was well-known in the capital, and now they had a new addition so quickly. Thus, the rumors about Zhou family’s daughters bringing fortune to their husbands had been revived.

The Second Miss of the Zhou family became pregnant not long after marrying into the Wong family, now having a boy in her first childbirth—what else if not bringing fortune to her husband?

Zhou Shuren turned back in surprise, "!!"

Why did these people look at him so eagerly?

Wong Ju chuckled, "If Wong Wei and his wife have two kids in three years, oh, I’d truly honor my ancestors."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

Old Master Wong, annoyed, kicked his son, "What does it have to do with you?"

Wong Ju yelped as his father had really put force into his kick, "I arranged Wong Wei’s marriage."

Old Master Wong stroked his beard, "Ultimately, it was my decision, and I’m the one who had done right by our ancestors."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

Really couldn’t grasp the dispute between the Wong father and son!

In Hanlin Academy, Mingyun came out for tea, followed by Lau Song; Mingyun gestured, "Try the tea I brewed."

Lau Song made no fuss and poured himself a cup, "Hmm, not bad."

Mingyun rubbed his shoulders, which had been sore from the excessive document transcription recently, "Finally done with the busy work, I can relax for a while."

Lau Song nodded, "Yes."

Coming every day to write, even they who are used to using pens felt overwhelmed.

Wen Rong also came out, "I’ll take a cup of tea as well."

Mingyun gestured invitingly; Wen Rong, since joining Hanlin Academy, had little interaction with others, being very low-key, never responding to flattery, and mostly kept to himself.

Lau Song swirled his tea cup, "I heard that the Second young master Wen is coming to the capital."

Wen Rong, "After the Second Prince got engaged, I haven’t had the chance to congratulate you."

Mingyun blinked his eyes; to his left was the Top scorer, to his right was also one, ah, the pressure on him as the second-place scholar was immense.

Neither Lau Song nor Wen Rong spoke and just continued drinking their tea without looking at each other.

Mingyun couldn’t be bothered with them, it would be strange if these two sitting together weren’t picking on each other. Now hearing about Wen Xu, he worried about Ming Rui’s safety as the Crown Prince’s whereabouts had been exposed, making his future travels unsafe.
