Although this was what she thought, Yaoniang still couldn’t help but recall everything that had just happened.

What a considerate and well-thought-out move by the consort! She had found the best midwife for her, knowing that she wouldn’t dare to use her. Consort Jin had even broken into the room twice today, seemingly worried. Yet, everything she did was only for appearance’s sake.

The only thing Consort Jin had to do was make her actions a bit too excessive. This way, Yaoniang wouldn’t be able to help herself from becoming suspicious and fearful of Midwife Li and would choose to use Midwife Cao with ease. Under these circumstances, she would place all her trust in Midwife Cao, maybe even to the point of driving away Midwife Li.

By the time something happened to her under Midwife Cao’s hands, the consort would remain clean while also giving others the false impression of having her kind intentions misunderstood.

Heh. Her intentions were dirty so she believed everyone else’s thoughts were also unclean. After all, who would’ve thought that the midwife they invited themselves would be the one with the problem?

.

As for why the consort made such a move, it was naturally for the child. She hadn’t forgotten that the consort was known by others as a hen who couldn’t lay eggs.

It was easy for something to go wrong during childbirth. If she was in as dangerous a situation as Midwife Li had said, she could’ve easily died.

What a good strategy!

The more Yaoniang thought about it, the more she shuddered. At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel wronged.

If she didn’t ask Midwife Li to remain but chose Midwife Cao, would the fate of dystocia and death be awaiting her instead?

Yaoniang’s mind was simple, and all her thoughts could be read from her face.

Jin Wang was afraid of her misunderstanding, so he hurriedly said, “Even if you’re a bit more on the dumb side, someone would still ensure that nothing went wrong.” He glanced at Yu Chan standing next to him and Yaoniang immediately understood that Yu Chan was in on it from the start.

“Hey! How come all of you know while I’m the only one left in the dark?” Her tone was a little angry.

Jin Wang glanced at her. “All your thoughts are written on your face. If we told you, the others would find out as well.”

Naturally, his ‘others’ referred to the consort.

But Yaoniang still hadn’t figured out why they had to act without the consort knowing. Since they already knew she had the intention to kill her, why couldn’t they stop her in advance? Why bother making everything so complicated?

“You should eat something first. This matter can wait until you wake up for further discussion.” Jin Wang said this upon seeing Hong Die bringing the food in.

“I haven’t taken a look at the child yet.”

Jin Wang moved to the side and said with a hint of disgust, “He looks really ugly.”

Yaoniang’s eyes landed on the infant and she couldn’t shift her gaze away. What a small little child. His eyes were shut and he had quite a bit of hair, the same as Xiaobao back when he was born.

“He looks like Xiaobao. Xiaobao was also like this back when he was born.” Noticing Jin Wang’s distaste, she explained, “All babies are born like this. Their wrinkles will all smoothen out within a few days. The older they get, the better looking they become.”

Jin Wang didn’t make any comments. Even if the child wasn’t good-looking, it wasn’t as if he could stuff the child back from where he came from.

Although the father wasn’t attentive, the older brother was very attentive. As soon as Xiaobao came in, he walked towards the crib and stood there.

He was short, but the crib wasn’t that high, so he could still hold onto the railings and peek inside.

Hearing his mother say that he’d looked like that when he was born, he was extremely happy. This was Erbao.

Both Erbao and his mother were alive with him in this lifetime, so everything was good!

Yaoniang ate a bowl of noodles with soup then fell asleep.

Although the delivery had been smooth and quick, she still felt very tired. She was only barely hanging on while speaking and eating just now. Once the breathing of the woman lying on the bed became slower, Jin Wang approached the crib.

He was too tall, so he backed up a bit. But the crib was still too low, so he could only squat down.

Even though Jin Wang had squatted down, he was still much taller than Xiaobao. He looked at Xiaobao, who was watching his younger brother’s profile attentively, before turning to look at the wrinkly little monkey in the crib. He cleared his throat, and said, “You actually managed to guess it right. The newborn is indeed a little brother and not a little sister.”

Xiaobao didn’t want to speak to him at all. Just remembering what that side consort surnamed Xu had said, makes him angered.

Thinking up to this point, he rolled his eyes. Then he gestured at the sleeping baby in the crib before turning to Jin Wang. “Baby brother, Erbao.”

Jin Wang nodded, thinking that Xiaobao was talking to him. “Yes, baby brother. “

Xiaobao looked puzzled, then said, “But that person said no baby brother. He couldn’t be born.”

“Who said you won’t have a brother? Who said he couldn’t be born?”

“One corpse two lives, one corpse two lives!” answered Xiaobao.

Jin Wang narrowed his eyes, his entire body emitting a chill. He wanted to ask Xiaobao more, but then he realized that his eldest son was only one and a half years old. Even if he was much smarter than a normal child, it would still be hard for him to tell him everything he wanted to know.

“Go and call the person who had been standing next to the young master!” As if afraid of waking up Yaoniang, he kept his voice lowered.

Hearing his sombre voice then looking at his cold and merciless face, Yu Chan shuddered inside. Someone was about to get in trouble.

But that person certainly deserved it! How dare she say something like this to the young master! Even dying 100 deaths wouldn’t be enough!

Chun’er was soon called in, her expression horrified. It was clear that Yu Chan had already told her everything.

“This servant doesn’t know who it was that said such a thing and this servant also doesn’t dare to say such a thing to the young master. Earlier, there was only Side Consort Xu who held him, and it was the young master who had approached her. Originally, this servant had wanted to take the young master back, but he seemed to be having a fun time with her…”
