Chapter 432 Bloodline Inheritance

As soon as Xiao Xia ran into the yard, she heard the loud cry of a baby. A midwife ran out and shouted, “Hurry up and bring some hot water!”

A team of maids quickly entered the house carrying buckets of hot water.

The midwife smiled and said to Xiao Xia rudely, “Congratulations, Your Highness, on the birth of your precious son!”

“Good! Good! Good!”

Xiao Xia said hello three times, smiling so hard that her mouth couldn’t close, and asked, “How is the princess?”

“Mother and son are safe!”

Xiao Xia said happily: “Go and do your work first, I’ll reward you handsomely later!”

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

The midwife went back happily.

Xiao Xia waited for a while and went back to the study.

Xiao Xia returned to the study and found a letter from the drawer. It was a letter his father had written to him two days ago. The letter mentioned the name for his son. If it was a boy, he would be named Yang Chu, and if it was a girl, she would be named Yang Junjun.

Both names are good. His children all have single-person radicals. His eldest brother’s three sons are named Yang Dan, Yang Tong and Yang You, and his own son is named Yang Chu, which is a perfect connection.

Xiao Xia sat in the study for a while. He was so happy that he couldn’t sit still. He stood up and left the study to visit the mother and son. As soon as he walked out of the yard, a maid ran towards him and said, “Your Highness, the princess invites you over!”

Xiao Xia followed the maid to the sanatorium. Cui Yu was no longer in the delivery room. She had been transferred to the sanatorium for confinement, a neat and elegant courtyard.

The room was very clean, with sunlight pouring in from the window. The room was very warm. Facing her was a large cradle, right next to the bed. Cui Yu was lying quietly on the bed, her eyes full of fatigue. She wanted to have a good sleep, but she also wanted her husband to see their son.

Xiao Xia walked forward, held her hand, and squatted down to look at his son who was sleeping soundly in the cradle. The little guy was wrapped in swaddling clothes, with a rosy face, a hat on his head, but there was still soft hair, a pair of big eyes, thin eyebrows, but a strong nose, and angular lips. This is his son! A strong emotion surged in Xiao Xia’s heart. The unique blood connection between father and son was awakened at this moment. He had descendants in the Sui Dynasty and had blood.

At this moment, everything in the future seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Cui Yu said softly: “The little guy’s nose and mouth look like you, and his eyebrows and eyes look like me.”

Xiao Xia nodded, then smiled and said, “Your face shape is also like mine!”

“Really? I didn’t notice that. Oh! I hope he studies hard when he grows up and doesn’t fight and kill like his daddy does.”

“You should study hard, and let your father do the fighting and killing.” Xiao Xia also laughed.

At this time, Cui Yu couldn’t help but cover her mouth and yawn. Xiao Xia noticed his wife’s fatigue and said quickly: “You must be exhausted today, have a good sleep!”

Xiao Xia kissed his wife on the forehead, looked at his son’s little face, and then went out.

Cui Yu sighed tiredly and happily, and fell into a deep sleep.

At night, Xiaoqing leaned on her husband and whispered, “Husband, I want a child too. What should I do? The moment I held the little guy in my arms, my heart melted. I wish I could have a child too.”

Xiao Xia nodded and said, “I’ll go find a famous doctor to prescribe some medicine and take good care of my body. After a year or so, it should be fine.”

Xiao Xia had always thought that it was his own problem, but now it seemed that the problem lay with Xiao Qing herself. Of course, she was only eighteen years old, so she should still have a chance.

“My wife said the same thing. Doctor Huang will come to see the child tomorrow. Let him check my pulse. I didn’t realize it before, but now I realize how important the child is.”

“Go ask A-Qiao, they might have a secret recipe in Qingcheng Mountain!”

Xiao Xia was a little tired today, so after giving a few instructions, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the morning, Xiaoqing waited for her husband to leave the house, and then stayed with his wife for a while. Then she ran to find Zhang Qiao. When she entered the room, she saw Zhang Qiao pounding medicine. She walked up to him and said with a smile, “Aren’t you going to see the child?”

Zhang Qiao smiled as he pounded the medicine: “I’ll go right away. I’ll finish this medicine. This is a tonic for Madam. It’s a secret recipe from Mount Qingcheng. It’s very good for postpartum recovery.”

“Let me help you make the medicine!”

“That’s fine! I’ll go see how the donkey glue is doing.”

Zhang Qiao handed her the medicine hammer and went into the house to look at the small pot on the fire. She was actually making donkey-hide gelatin, which would be combined with other medicines, and would be very beneficial to the health of the mother.

Xiao Qing pounded the medicine for a few times and then came forward and asked in a low voice: “Do you have a secret recipe for having a baby in Qingcheng Mountain?”

Zhang Qiao laughed, “Sister Xiaoqing wants a child now?”

“Of course I want to, but I just can’t get pregnant. I’m so anxious!”

“Don’t worry, I remember there is one. I’ll go back and look through the prescription of medicines that Master gave me, but I have to tell you in advance that if you take my medicine, you can’t take other people’s medicine. It’s not that I’m narrow-minded, but many medicinal materials are mutually reinforcing and counteracting. If you use medicines from different doctors, not only will it be ineffective, it will also harm your body and be counterproductive, leading to lifelong infertility.”

Xiaoqing nodded gently. She had actually been taking medicine secretly in the past two years, but to no avail. She was now a little hesitant to trust doctors and hoped that there might be some secret recipe in Qingcheng Mountain that could help her.

“Aqiao, you are not young anymore, what are you waiting for?”

Zhang Qiao lowered his head and said, “I don’t know either. I always feel like something is missing, but I can’t put my finger on it. I just want to go out for a walk.”

“Have you told the Master?”

Zhang Qiao nodded, “He asked me to go to Luoyang with him next year. I don’t know, Sister Xiaoqing, let’s go see the lady first!”

Zhang Qiao simmered it slowly over low heat, then she got up and followed Xiao Qing to the sanatorium.

In the Wei Residence in Luoyang, Wei Chong looked at his brother who was keeping his head down and saying nothing with a cold gaze, and gritted his teeth and said, “He told you to get out, so did you get out?”

Wei Yue said coldly: “What should I do? I don’t want to die in Jiangnan. I can clearly feel his murderous intentions. He wants to kill me to warn the officials in Jiangnan. Brother, do you really think I should fight him to the end?”

Wei Chong continued to look at his brother, but his eyes gradually softened. After a while, he said, “You have been in Wujun for four years. It took a lot of effort to set up this plan. I am worried that once you leave, all the arrangements and efforts will be wasted.”

“Unless you can give me resources to fight against Xiao Xia, or you convince the emperor to transfer Xiao Xia away, I can continue to maintain the interests of the Wei family in Jiangnan.”

Wei Chong shook his head. “I finally persuaded the emperor to transfer him out of Hexi and Longyou. Now I can’t speak anymore.”

“In this case, brother, you have to face reality. I don’t want to waste four years of hard work, but reality is cruel. We never thought that Xiao Xia would come to Jiangnan, and I would be the first one to be attacked!”

Wei Chong was silent for a long time and said, “Forget it, let’s just let you go to Hebei! You must immediately notify the Liu family and ask them to move all their wealth to Hebei. We will use this wealth to re-arrange our business in Hebei.”

Wei Yue nodded and said, “I have sent someone to inform Liu Kun to move all the wealth out of Jiangnan, but because it involves the transfer of shops, it may not be that fast.”

Wei Chong frowned, “Are you going to sell the shop too?”

Wei Yue sighed and said, “Xiao Xia is ruthless and will definitely not let the Liu family go. Our shops are all in the hands of the Liu family and are registered with the government in the name of the Liu family. If Xiao Xia confiscates the Liu family’s property, we will definitely not be able to keep our shops and will suffer a loss in silence.”

Wei Chong thought about it and it made sense. Xiao Xia might not dare to touch the Wei family’s property, but the shop was in the name of the Liu family, so he would pretend to be stupid and do it.

“Then do it as soon as possible! Remember to let them go through the Yangtze River, not Jiangdu, as Jiangdu is easy to be intercepted.”

Wei Chong paused and said, “Tomorrow I will go to see the emperor and let him decide for you. If he is unwilling to punish the King of Jin, he will take a step back and let you go to Hebei Province!”
