Chang’an Peasant Girl

Su Xie continued, "Brother-in-law didn't rest and rode back. He lost a lot of blood along the way and waited until my sister gave birth to my niece. Now he can't hold on any longer."

Tao Mingqing was still supported by An Yiqing and Su Yixing. He didn't complain at all and said to Su Changyi and An Jing, "Grandson-in-law has fulfilled his mission. The matter of Nanchi has been resolved."

An Jing just said anxiously, "Don't talk about this now, Xing'er, you should check Mingqing's injury."

"Yes, mother." Su Yixing agreed and helped Tao Mingqing to another room with An Yiqing.

Tao Mingqing had been injured for several days. He didn't take good care of his injury during these days. He just rushed back. His wound was festering. When Su Yixing treated Tao Mingqing's injury, Tao Mingqing was lying on the bed and couldn't get up.

While Su Yixing was treating Tao Mingqing's waist injury, Su Xie and Su Su told everyone in more detail why Tao Mingqing was missing and how those corrupt officials in Nanchi were dealt with by Tao Mingqing.

After An Yiqing said that Su Yixing had treated Tao Mingqing's wound, An Jing and the others went to see Tao Mingqing.

Tao Mingqing wanted to get up, but because of the wound on his waist, he couldn't get up at all, and he was too weak to get up now. An Jing and the others knew that they would not let him get up and let him lie down in bed.

Although Tao Mingqing continued to lie on the bed obediently, he said: "Xin'er just gave birth and her body is still weak. I don't want my injury to worry her. Please help me hide this injury for a while."

Seeing that Tao Mingqing was thinking about Su Yuxin, everyone agreed to help him hide it.

Su Yuxin fainted for five hours before waking up, and it was already late at night.

As soon as Tao Mingqing learned that Su Yuxin had woken up, he ignored his waist injury and forced himself to get up, holding their newborn daughter to show Su Yuxin.

When Su Yuxin woke up, she didn't see her newborn baby, nor did she see Tao Mingqing, her little husband, so she felt uneasy. Now that she saw Tao Mingqing holding their daughter in front of her, she immediately felt relieved and smiled.

"Little husband, where did you take the child to sleep?"

Tao Mingqing smiled and said, "The child is in the cradle outside, and I'm in the next room."

"Why did you go to the next room?" Su Yuxin was a little unhappy. "When my mother, my aunt, and my aunt gave birth, their husbands slept with them."

Tao Mingqing lied: "Second uncle said you are too weak, it's best not to sleep in the same bed with you."

Su Yuxin was happy and asked: "When can we sleep together?"

"Wait until you finish your confinement."

"That's still a month!"

"Be obedient, you are really weak now, you have to take good care of yourself, I won't do anything else this month, I will stay at home with you and the baby. I have already talked to my father-in-law, he said that when you are born I will be assigned an errand after I finish my confinement."

When Su Yuxin heard the errand, she asked anxiously: "How did you handle the matter with Nan Chi?"

Without waiting for his answer, she said sadly: "I'm about to give birth, and you haven't come back yet. You clearly promised me that you would come back. I thought something happened to you."

When Tao Mingqing saw her like this, he felt so distressed that he put the child in his arms next to her. He kissed her forehead and held her hand tightly: "Everything is handled. I came back a little late and made you worry. Fortunately, I came back in time."
