IBTSOME Chapter 98 Part 2
I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND
Chapter 98 Part 2: Pearl
^^
He hurriedly left the
capital that day. It was true that the situation in Guanzhong was not
optimistic, he was anxious to deal with the disaster. But there was also a
small factor that he did not know how to face Lin Wei Xi. Simply avoiding in
the name of disaster relief, he thought, he needs to calm down for a while.
When he was in Xi'an, he helped
victims of the disaster, mobilized provisions, rebuilt houses, as well as sprayed
medicines to guard against the plague after a natural disaster. There were
endless tasks waiting for him every day, and Gu Hui Yan had absolutely no time
to let his imagination run wild. But in the dead of night, when he sat in the
Governor's Mansion, his thoughts would always uncontrollably float to Lin Wei
Xi. Lin Wei Xi was experiencing morning sickness when he left, didn’t know if
it’s better now. He heard that women would have cramps in the later stages of
pregnancy, sometimes could not sleep all night, and yet he irresponsibly abandoned
her and left...
Lin Wei Xi had never
written to him, but Gu Hui Yan knew everything about Lin Wei Xi's movement.
Later, the letter that were sent by his trusted aide said that Wangfei's
appetite had plummeted as the month gets bigger, she couldn’t even eat for a
few days.
Gu Hui Yan didn't know
how angry he was when he received the letter. He only been away for a few days,
but Lin Wei Xi was not eating well again. She even dared to blatantly not have
dinner. If he didn’t specifically leave someone to watch over her, afraid Lin Wei
Xi would threaten the maids again, and flip this incident lightly, and then
when he returned, he would never know what Lin Wei Xi had done.
Gu Hui Yan finally
couldn't sit still. His daily official duties were already heavy, and those
days became more and more stressful. The governor's mansion top to bottom were
used as support around the clock. Gu Hui Yan quickly took care of the snow
disaster. The remaining things like rebuilding houses and so on would be
time-consuming laborious work. Gu Hui Yan left these to the local officials. He
arranged for some trusted aide to provide assistance, or to be more accurate to
supervise. He himself quickly returned to the capital.
However, even though he
returned to the capital half a month earlier, he almost missed Lin Wei Xi's
birth.
Looking at this basin of watery
blood and the heart stopping cry from the delivery room, Gu Hui Yan felt a wave
of fear. He had long heard about how dangerous childbirth for women. There were
dystocia and hemorrhage, postnatal illness, and there were also those who have
completely injured their body because of childbirth... there were numerous, Gu Hui
Yan couldn’t even think about it. If Lin Wei Xi also had any mishap, she would
disappear forever, then what should he do.
In comparison, the anger
and shock Gu Hui Yan had before leaving the capital were nothing. He even left
Lin Wei Xi because of these things, left her alone in this dangerous situation.
If he did not rush back tonight, if Lin Wei Xi had any mishap, he would not be
able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Suddenly there was
commotion in the delivery room, the midwife’s voice clearly became much urgent:
"Wangfei push, I have already seen the head... quickly give Wangfei
ginseng slice! Come on push... it’s come out, it’s come out!"
Both Gu Hui Yan and Gu Cheng
Yao were shocked, and immediately locked their eyes on the door of the delivery
room.
Very soon, the midwife
opened the door and came out. She held a tightly wrapped baby in her arms, smiled
and said: "Congratulations Yan Wang, it’s a precious daughter."
It’s a precious daughter?
The midwife put the
little baby in front of Gu Hui Yan. Gu Hui Yan almost cautiously stretched out
his hand, and very carefully touched her face.
In fact, Gu Hui Yan
wasn't sure what to expect, but when he felt her heat and humidity, and how she
still carried her mother's body temperature, Gu Hui Yan’s heart suddenly softened.
This was their daughter, the
daughter of him and Lin Wei Xi. He spent half his life as a military horse, but in his thirties, he
received such a precious gift.
The midwife originally
worried that Wangfei gave birth to a daughter, would this kind of great mansion
be unhappy. But when she saw Yan Wang took special care and gazed at this
little life, wanted to touch but didn’t dare to, her heart was at ease. How
could heavenly descendants be the same as ordinary people's house? Yan Wang's
child, even a daughter, was also an honorable Junzhu1, glistening like pearls,
what should she worried about.
Seeing that Yan Wang
liked the child very much, the midwife immediately put down her heart, the
smile on her face became brighter. Isn't it brilliant? Yan Wang Mansion had
gave birth, the attitude of the family to the child directly related to her
reward. The midwife grinning from ear to ear and said: "Wangye, after
seeing it the child has to be taken inside. Although it is March, and she’s
tightly wrapped, but I dare not let her get blown by the wind for too
long."
Only then did Gu Hui Yan
react, yes, she was just born, how could she get blown by the wind? Even if the
room was surrounded by screens, Gu Hui Yan always feels that the outside
environment was not safe, and every place threatened his fragile daughter. The midwife
held the baby again to show Gu Cheng Yao, and at this time, Gu Hui Yan suddenly
realized that something was amiss: "Where is Wangfei? Why cannot hear her
voice?"
Gu Cheng Yao was still
immersed in the wonder of this little life, but when Gu Hui Yan said this, he was
also startled.
The midwife was taken
aback by Yan Wang's voice. She said in her heart it was indeed a person who had
been on the battlefield and walked through the Hall of Supreme Harmony2. He
was so friendly just now, but when he revealed his true color still could scare
people endlessly. The midwife covered her heart, waiting for the palpitations
to pass, before she could speak: "Wangfei is too tired and has gone to
sleep." Seeing that Gu Hui Yan's expression was wrong, she added another
sentence: "Wangye please don't worry, Wangfei do not have a sign of
postnatal bleeding, just exhausted."
Gu Hui Yan looked into
the room, still feeling uneasy. He bypassed the crowd and wanted to go in, but
was hurriedly stopped by the servants: "Wangye you cannot. The delivery
room is full of blood and will destruct the official career."
"I have led dozens
of battles from south to north, the number of lives on my hands is uncountable.
Even if it will destruct, it’s the blood fiend on my body that will destruct other
people. What, delivery room is ominous, how can I care about such absurd words?"
After Gu Hui Yan finished
speaking, he strode in without looking back. The mixture of humidity and blood’
smells in the delivery room rushed towards his face. Gu Hui Yan saw Lin Wei Xi
on the bed, and his heart suddenly clenched.
She had always loved
beauty, but now she was lying weakly and helplessly on the wet bedding, strands
of wet hair sticking to her forehead, her complexion was pale, and her lips were
chapped, only her chest moved ups and downs weakly.
Gu Hui Yan carefully took
Lin Wei Xi's hand, placed it to his lips, and kissed it lightly.
"Xi'er, I'm
back."

So sweet
ReplyDeleteI knew it would be daughter haha Thanks for the chapter!!
ReplyDeleteHmm I wonder what is this anger and shock the ML is talking about? π€
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter! ❤
I suspect he's figured out the truth about Lin Wei Xi being Gao Xi.
DeleteYes. Probably suspected Wei Xi and Gao Xi had same soul. He must have asked his trusted personal to investigate the exact date Gao Xi died and whether Wei Xi is sick during that time. His anger and shock is probably due to man ego as well as insecurity. You know he already had issue with their huge age gap.
DeleteYay its a daughter
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter π₯°
How would GR feel knowing she jeopardised everything for a daughter?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update!
It would kill her
DeleteTrue. She is jsut overly stupid. How csn she think she can get away if LWD or her fetus died, and she schemed a Gao heir, official or not he is still the Heir csndidata of Gao family and Gao clanswomen were all there to hold her back despite unknowingly.
DeleteBut GHY is still a Qinwang. What makes her think that Gao clan csn get away after harming LWX?
Is she really an idiot?
If Gao clan fell, what is the point?
What can she get?
She is really really stupid.
Even if it's a boy, it is still a baby and GCY is an adult. No matter if he is not the best man, but he is not too bad, he is the eldest son and the son of a 1st wife... His seat is stable. Qinwan won't harm his own reputstion to break the rule.
Otherwise he wouldn't have kept her alive at all.
GR is really...greed makes her super stupid.
muchas gracias ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteShe is gonna be super spoiled by her dad!! Thanks for the update!
ReplyDeleteBruh I suddenly cried for the injustice she faced. It's wrong for him to left her in the first place. They should have talked about it and dissolve the problems and misunderstandings together but noooo he ran away from his problems. Not until they reported she hadn't been eating well and would threaten her maids if she was forced to eat that he decided to return home. Lucky for you she survived what if she didn't???
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteAyaya. This really tickles one's heart. ππ
ReplyDeleteMuchisisisisisisisisisisisisimas gracias nuevamente por tu arduo y excelente trabajoπππππππππππππππππππππ
ReplyDeletePhew... For some reason I thought that I missed a part of a chapter with the reading mode on because he somehow figured LWX to be GX, so cam back to re-read the last few but it seems that I didn't π€¨
ReplyDeleteMy guy was like...you are keeping me away over some blood? I am covered in the blood of my enemies. Move.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for Ml he never have time to rest
