Chapter 937: Chapter 940: Personally Feed
"Okay," Qiao Duo’er nodded beautifully.
"Sleep first, you need a good rest to have the strength to think of a name."
Before Tan Zhenghong had finished speaking, he realized his wife had already fallen asleep, even letting out gentle snores.
Well... forget it, as if he had not spoken.
But every word he said today counted, he would never go back on his word at any time.
Because she was anxious about Ling’er and her child, Qiao Duo’er woke up early.
Without bothering to eat breakfast, she went straight to Chen Yiling’s room.
Chen Yiling had just finished breakfast. She was in good spirits, and her complexion looked much better than yesterday.
"I thought the pain would be over once the baby was born, but now I ache all over," Chen Yiling said with a pained expression.
The pain was strange, coming in intermittent twinges, nearly driving her insane.
The Medical Woman said it was normal to feel pain, as it helped to expel all the dirty stuff from her stomach.
And then there was breastfeeding. She had only slept for a while after giving birth, when she was forcefully awakened to feed the baby. It felt as if she had hardly slept before she had to get up to breastfeed again.
Sigh, she felt like she was going crazy.
Before Chen Yiling could finish complaining, Little Ruirui started howling again.
The little fellow was robust, clearly destined to be a strong man.
Chen Yiling sighed deeply, "Now, the sound of his crying scares me."
Only after giving birth did she realize that though pregnancy was uncomfortable in many ways, it was still more blissful compared to now.
ChunTao changed the baby’s diaper, but Little Ruirui kept crying nonstop, probably hungry.
"Miss, shall I call the wet nurse over?"
ChunTao tentatively asked.
Otherwise, eating every couple of hours, her mistress definitely couldn’t stand it.
Chen Yiling pouted and said, "No way, he’s my son, and I need to feed him until he’s grown."
Deeply influenced by Qiao Duo, Chen Yiling felt that she must nurse her own child, or else the child would become more attached to someone else.
Plus, if she gave up after just one day of breastfeeding, she would certainly be ridiculed in the future.
"If you can’t handle it, you could breastfeed during the day and leave it to the wet nurse at night. That way, you could get a full night’s rest, which would be good for your health," Qiao Duo said, seeing Chen Yiling getting worked up and quickly helping her.
She then stuffed a pillow behind her to prevent her from straining her back too much and developing a problem with back pain.
"I’ve thought of that, but the idea of letting my son breastfeed from someone else is unbearable to me," Chen Yiling said, leaving a tender kiss on her son’s face.
Regardless of the fatigue or hardship, all was worth it for her own child.
Qiao Duo couldn’t help but sigh at how powerful a mother’s love was; yesterday Ling’er was still being willful, but she had changed completely overnight.
Since Chen Yiling was weak and needed to rest, Qiao Duo didn’t stay long.
Rarely did Qiao Duo get up early, giving Tan Zhenghong a rare chance to have breakfast with his wife.
But someone didn’t want them to have a comfortable meal, as barely a few bites in, a guard hurried over.
"Fourth Master, our people have purchased all the medicines, but Lord Li is guarding the city gate and refuses to let them through, what should we do?"
The medicine from last night was gone, and many people’s conditions worsened this morning. If they couldn’t get the medicine into the city soon, it was likely that many would perish.
"Where is Li Zhengtian?" Tan Zhenghong asked with a frown.
"He’s at his residence, but he’s closed his doors, not allowing visitors, claiming he’s sick."
Now their chance at survival was just outside the city gates, separated from them by a mere wall; they were almost frantic.
Before Tan Zhenghong could come up with a solution, someone else came in.
