Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Lan gave birth to a healthy, plump baby boy, and both mother and son were safe and sound.
This fortunate outcome was largely thanks to Qin Zhenzhen. who had prepared and administered spiritual water to Su Lan in advance, even applying it at the birth ca.n.a.l. This was done to prevent injuries and alleviate her pain during childbirth.
As a pleasant surprise, Qin Zhenzhen also discovered another remarkable effect of the spiritual water: it enhanced muscle elasticity. Consequently, Su Lan’s labor was relatively painless and swift.
The baby weighed approximately nine catties, a considerable size by any measure. In modern times, such a birth might have necessitated a significant medical intervention. However, to Qin Zhenzhen’s astonishment, the child was born smoothly, with Su Lan emerging from the experience unscathed. It was truly a marvel.
The entire family was overjoyed, wearing beaming smiles, with Qian Shanmin radiating an unparalleled happiness. This year had brought him success and prosperity. He had demolished their old home and constructed a larger one. Coincidentally, his son’s birth aligned with their move to the new house, leading many to believe that the residence was now blessed with good fortune.
However, Qian Shanmin was quick to clarify, “It’s my wife who brings prosperity to her husband and family!”
In a bid to better support his wife and child, he had hired a helper—a middle-aged woman experienced in tending to expectant mothers and infants. Additionally, he acquired a maid specifically to care for Su Lan and her child. He treated Su Lan and w.a.n.g Yizhi’s daughter as his own, displaying boundless love and care.
Observing his brother-in-law’s genuine care for their sister, Su Bin felt rea.s.sured.
With his sister and brother-in-law settled into their new home, supported by household staff, Su Bin decided it was time to take Su Cheng to the prefecture capital.
This time, Su Cheng didn’t insist on staying behind. His initial hesitation stemmed from concerns for his sister’s well-being.
Having spent a year studying in town, Su Cheng had gained a broader perspective. While he hadn’t initially aspired to pursue education as a means of livelihood and had never considered taking the Cultivated Talent exam, he now recognized that neither he nor his siblings wished for him to remain in Qian Family Village indefinitely. He didn’t desire it either.
If he harbored ambitions, he knew he had to venture to the prefecture capital. Third Sister-in-law’s business had already expanded to the capital, and she required trustworthy a.s.sistance. Even if he wasn’t particularly inclined towards business, he could acquire a valuable skill and become a competent individual.
At the age of thirteen, he was ready to start as an apprentice, a significant step toward his future endeavors.
The night before his departure for the prefecture capital, Su Bin appeared lost in thought, prompting Qin Zhenzhen to inquire, “Have you received troubling news?”
Despite her familiarity with the original book’s plot, the alterations in their own timeline left her uncertain about what might unfold next.
Su Bin nodded thoughtfully. “It seems that way.”
Following their exit from the provincial capital, the governor had marshaled his forces to conduct an exhaustive search throughout the city for the middle-aged man and the youth. Some individuals resembling the Third Prince and his mentor had been apprehended during the process. To the uninformed, it might have appeared that the governor was diligently fulfilling his duties.
However, Su Bin and Qin Zhenzhen were well aware that the governor was acting on the Crown Prince’s behalf. If they discovered the critically injured Third Prince, he would undoubtedly eliminate him.
The Third Prince had likely recognized this as well and refrained from seeking a.s.sistance from the governor. Furthermore, he couldn’t risk revealing his true ident.i.ty.
Su Bin speculated that the Third Prince and his companions were likely hiding in an undisclosed location for recovery, possibly even seeking refuge with the Flying Cloud Tribe.
The Flying Cloud Tribe’s leader had ties to the General Manor, a detail that might elude others but not the Third Prince.
Su Bin didn’t withhold this information from Qin Zhenzhen, and he had received fresh updates today..
