Chapter 1069: Family Reunion, Giving Birth? (1)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Wan could not travel in such a bumpy carriage, so her and Yan Jiuchao’s carriage was slower. When they entered the manor, the three little eggs had already finished pooping, wiping their butts, and even taken a small shower.
The three of them went to visit the stray cat they had picked up.
The stray cat seemed to remember the three little masters. It lay obediently on the ground and let the three little masters stroke its fur. However, when the little master swiped it down, the stray cat felt that something was wrong.
It was cold!
Xiaobao also ran over to touch it. The stray cat’s fur went bald, and the stray cat’s hair stood on end. It fled with a meow!
Er’bao said, “Uh… I haven’t touched it yet.”
Dabao blinked and silently rubbed the cat fur on the grass.
“Father!” Yu Wan saw Prince Yan guarding three little black eggs in the courtyard. Prince Yan was wearing a green robe with wide sleeves and a green jade belt around his waist. After not seeing him for a while, he had lost some weight, but it was still difficult to hide his handsomeness.
However, Yu Wan did not know if it was her imagination, but Prince Yan’s back seemed to be a little lonely. Was it because of Shangguan Yan?
It would have been fine if he was in Nanzhao, but now that he was in the capital, he was only a few streets away from the Xiao Manor. They were clearly so close, but the two of them had the furthest distance in the world.
Of course, no matter what Yu Wan thought in her heart, she maintained a happy but polite smile.
Yan Jiuchao was beside her. The couple looked very similar to the two masters of this manor back then.
“Father,” Yan Jiuchao also called out.
Prince Yan was always happy to see his son and daughter-in-law. There were heart-wrenching things in this world, and there was also medicine to comfort the soul. Obviously, these five children were his medicine.
“You’re back.” Prince Yan nodded at the two of them with a trace of joy on his face. Then, his gaze landed on Yu Wan’s bulging stomach.
The capital in September had the coldness of late autumn. Yu Wan wore a thick cloak over her wide dress, but the cloak could not cover her pregnant stomach. It was obvious that she was about to give birth.
Prince Yan was instantly shocked. When the couple left Nanzhao to the Ghost Clan to look for the antidote, they didn’t say that she was pregnant. Now, she was suddenly about to give birth.
The surprise came too quickly. Prince Yan didn’t know what to say.
Yu Wan smiled slightly. They actually had a chance to send news to the Young
Master Manor in advance. They deliberately didn’t say it to surprise Prince Yan. Looking at Prince Yan’s dumbfounded expression, they knew that this surprise had succeeded.
“W-when did you have it?” Prince Yan finally found his voice.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “Actually, I was pregnant when I was in Nanzhao. It was only diagnosed when I arrived at the Feiyu Manor.”
“Feiyu Manor?” Prince Yan was stunned.
Yu Wan smiled and explained, “It’s a martial arts sect between Nanzhao and the Ghost Clan. The State Preceptor’s disciple, Wan Feng, and the former Jiang Hai beside me are both from the Feiyu Manor.”
“Ah.” In that case, Prince Yan understood. Since it was a sect between Nanzhao and the Ghost Clan, it meant that they had not gone far at that time. Back then, when Yu Wan discovered that she was pregnant, she could have returned to Nanzhao to recuperate, but she did not do so. Although he did not know which places they had gone along the way, it was not difficult to imagine that this was a woman who was willing to protect her sons with her life.
Prince Yan used to dote on her, but now, there was a hint of admiration in his doting. He said to Yan Jiuchao, who was beside Yu Wan, “What are you waiting for, Cong’er? Quickly help Ah Wan back to her room.”
He had thousands of questions in his heart. Where had they gone, whether they had found the medicinal primers, and what dangers had they experienced… He wanted to know all of them, but he had to take Yu Wan’s health into account.
Yu Wan actually wanted to say that she was not that weak. How could she need someone to help her take a few steps? However, after taking a few steps, her stomach hurt.
“Hiss—” She gasped.
“What’s wrong? Is she giving birth?” Prince Yan was so nervous that his face turned pale.
Yan Jiuchao pulled Yu Wan into his arms and used the strength of his arm to support her body.
Yu Wan recovered and smiled. “I’m fine.”
It was a fake contraction. It had been acting up from time to time since they were on the ship. At first, she really thought that she was going to give birth, but Old Cui took her pulse and said that it was still early.
Old Cui calculated her days. If nothing went wrong, it would be at the end of
the month. There were still ten days to half a month left.
Prince Yan broke out in a cold sweat. It was not easy for Shangguan Yan to give birth. After three days of difficult labor, the mother and son almost died. Although they survived in the end, it left a big shadow in his heart..
