Li Hongyuan looked at her haggard and pale face, and at her saddened expression when she said those words.
“Can you bear to leave your son?”
“I know I won’t be able to take him. He is the imperial grandson and your son, born noble. With or without me, he won’t suffer at all. I have nothing to worry about.” Jiang Ning spoke softly, “Do you agree?”
Li Hongyuan’s voice turned cold: “Are you sure about this?”
“Yes.”
“Fine, I will grant you this. After all, if you stay here, your heart won’t be here anyway. It’s better for you to leave instead of everyone suffering.” Li Hongyuan said, “As for the children…”
“Just treat it as if I only gave birth to a boy. That was what everyone thought anyway. The daughter was a gift from the heavens for me. Please consider the toll that bearing and giving birth to children has taken on me.”
Li Hongyuan stared at her for a moment, and squeezed out a word through his teeth: “Fine.”
He turned and left.
Without looking back.
She was too weak to leave now.
At least she would have to wait until the end of her confinement period.
After talking about this, Jiang Ning felt much more relieved. She asked someone to bring the two children to her. However, seeing their delicate little faces and hearing their cries made her milk come in.
It was unbearable.
When the children were hungry, there were wet nurses to feed them.
Four wet nurses at that, the children would never go hungry.
As she watched the two little babies being taken away, Jiang Ning’s chest felt even more uncomfortable.
In aristocratic families, the mothers wouldn’t breastfeed their own children, leaving it to the wet nurses.
As for postpartum women having an oversupply of milk, there were ways to solve this problem.
Nanny brought a bowl of medicine, handed it to Huang Ying, and urged her to ask the Princess Consort to drink it, which would ease the engorgement.
Jiang Ning refused, and because of the pain and her inability to get out of bed, her temper flared and she smashed the medicine bowl.
Nanny was frightened, so she went to look for Li Hongyuan, saying that the Princess Consort was stubborn and unwilling to drink the medicine. The maids and servants in the courtyard didn’t know what to do.
Li Hongyuan immediately came over.
As soon as he entered the room, he heard Jiang Ning smashing things.
“Take these medicines away, I won’t drink them. Get out!” She sat on the bed, smashing things around her and crying from the pain.
Li Hongyuan looked at her sobbing, frowned, and said: “You are uncomfortable, and refuse to take the medicine. What do you want? Do you have to torment yourself like this?”
“Bring my second child here!”
“The children have wet nurses to take care of them. You don’t need to worry about them, just rest.”
“I gave birth to the child, why won’t you let me see them?” Jiang Ning threw a pillow at his face, yelling, “Go and bring the child to me!”
Li Hongyuan caught the pillow and yelled angrily, “Are you done? Your temper is getting worse after giving birth! You’re weak, so we don’t have the children in your room to let you rest properly! What are you making a fuss about?”
Jiang Ning yelled: “Get out of here, I don’t want to see you!”
“Shrew!”
Angry, Li Hongyuan turned around and left.
Jiang Ning, furious, got up with the help of the bed, grabbed a vase from the table, and threw it at him.
Bang!
The vase hit Li Hongyuan’s shoulder right on and shattered on the floor.
Li Hongyuan turned back and saw her haggard face and swollen eyes. The anger in his heart couldn’t find a way out.
“I can’t be bothered with you.”
He stormed out of the room.
Back in the courtyard, his shoulder was still aching. He took off his clothes and saw that the vase had left a large gash on his shoulder.
“Call Dong Chaofeng.” He ordered the housekeeper, “Have him examine the Princess Consort to find out what’s wrong with her.”
He felt that something was off with her..
