Lin Youning’s tears started to fall, and the congratulatory voices from the nannies around her went unheard, she only knew that the nannies were congratulating her on having a little young master.

Through her tears, Lin Youning gazed at the small face that was brought to her side, even though it was wrinkled, she could recognize it at a glance, this was Brother Zong.

Her Brother Zong had returned, the one who had always been independent and protective of her.

"Miss, everything’s alright, the little young master is safe, and we’ll take care of your side immediately, both mother and child are safe." Nanny Wang thought that the young lady was worried about the child. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Lin Youning shook her head, her eyes only fixed on Brother Zong who was beside her, his eyes slightly open, blankly gazing at the world around him, those dark eyes exploring this unfamiliar world.

Yet it was precisely this expression that made Lin Youning’s heart ache faintly.

Nanny Wang did not understand why the young lady was shedding tears, she instructed the nannies to tidy up the room, and only then let the Marquis, who was anxiously waiting outside, come in.

When Gu Yifeng came in, he saw the two figures beside the bed and the tears on Sister Ning’s face. His heart tightened instantly, and he hurried to the bedside.

"Sister Ning, where are you feeling uncomfortable? Tell your big brother." Gu Yifeng didn’t look at the child; his eyes were only on Sister Ning, who was crying in tears on the bed.

Lin Youning raised her head blankly, and through the blur saw the face of her big brother, and tears flowed even more fiercely, "Big brother, it’s Brother Zong, it really is Brother Zong, that’s wonderful."

Gu Yifeng was baffled by her words, but did not ask more, he only reached out a hand to gently stroke her head, "Alright."

The gentle voice calmed Sister Ning, allowing her emotions to finally slowly settle.

Lin Youning sniffed, "Big brother, I was always so afraid, afraid that it wouldn’t be Brother Zong, but now I’m not afraid, it’s Brother Zong, he’s back, my Brother Zong is back. This time, I will surely treat him well and be a responsible mother."

Gu Yifeng furrowed his brows slightly, concerned, "Sister Ning, you’re in confinement now, your emotions shouldn’t fluctuate too much, please rest well, alright? We can talk later, all you want, big brother will be with you."

Nanny Wang also felt that the young lady’s emotions were off and led the other servants out of the room.

Lin Youning was very excited, "Big brother, I know you must think I’m crazy, but I’m not, everything I said is true, you have to believe me, Brother Zong is great, he cares for me. He always bore grievances alone, and at that time I didn’t know he was being bullied at the Marquis Mansion, but every time he came back he wouldn’t say, it was my fault as his mother."

Before she could finish speaking, tears fell again, "Back then, Brother Zong went to the Marquis Mansion, it was only big brother who cared for him, everyone else looked down on him and bullied him."

Gu Yifeng tightly furrowed his brow, his gaze focused on Sister Ning. He knew that Sister Ning was not speaking nonsense or lies, but from what she said, it seemed like everything had happened before, Gu Yifeng quietly listened to Sister Ning continue.

He listened until Sister Ning was tired and slowly fell asleep, but he could not shake off what he heard, Sister Ning talked about the past life, in her past life, she managed the mansion alone and had a child named Brother Zong, and that child was very strong-willed, growing up slowly on his own burden.

Gu Yifeng’s eyes fell on the small body beside the bed, Sister Ning called him Brother Zong, in their past life it was Brother Zong and Sister Ning who supported each other. But in this life, Sister Ning still says Brother Zong is the same as before, Gu Yifeng just felt his heart twist.

This is clearly his son, the child he longed for with Sister Ning, but at this moment he didn’t want to face it, didn’t even like it.

Gu Yifeng stood up, softly calling Nanny Wang inside, "Take the little young master down to the wet nurse, and also send off those midwives, this time your young lady is fine, it could be considered their good fortune."

Nanny Wang answered and took the little young master down, puzzled as to why the Marquis was not happy, his expression was so dark that it could almost drip water.

Nanny Wang couldn’t understand, nor did she know what the young lady said that made having a little young master such a displeasing matter for the Marquis, she decided to wait until the young lady woke up before asking.

Nanny Chang and Nanny Chi had also received the news and came over. Seeing Nanny Wang bring out the little young master, they surrounded him joyfully, naturally happy to see him.

Nanny Wang didn’t hesitate, letting the wet nurse take the child, and then called the two aside to talk, "I don’t know what the young lady said, but now the Marquis’s expression is unpleasant, you two elder sisters understand the Marquis, help figure out what’s going on."

Nanny Chi was surprised, "The Marquis has the young lady at the center of his heart, and now the young lady has given birth to a little young master, how could he not be happy? I don’t know what the young lady said."

"I left later too, so I don’t know, I only heard the young lady mention something about Brother Zong," Nanny Wang replied.

Nanny Chang was taken aback, "It’s unlikely that the young lady would mention Brother Zong at this time, right? After all, he’s no longer in the mansion, besides, the Marquis wouldn’t be angry at the young lady because of this."

Nanny Wang shook her head.

Nanny Chi thought deeper, "Could it be that the young lady wants to name the little young master Brother Zong, that’s why the Marquis is unhappy? The young lady always said that if it were a little young master, she would name him Brother Zong."

Nanny Chang remembered this, nodding, "What you say makes some sense, but this shouldn’t anger the Marquis. Maybe it’s something else, perhaps the young lady wants to bring Brother Zong back, and that displeased the Marquis."

Nanny Chi looked at her and said no more.

They knew Brother Zong was not the Marquis’s child, but didn’t know if the young lady knew. If she didn’t know and brought it up, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Nanny Wang sighed, "We can’t say for sure what’s going on, let’s wait until the young lady wakes up, you two sisters should head back, the old madam needs attendance too."

"The old madam is waiting for news, we’ll head back then." The two then took their leave.

Nanny Wang, though worried, lightly went to check on the birthing room, saw the Marquis sitting by the bedside, tightly holding the young lady’s hand, and her heart was at ease.

For the children of noble families, who would behave like this, especially for the Dingyuan Marquis, to have such affection for the young lady, it must be the lady’s fortune, as for the problem she worried about earlier, let the young lady solve it herself.

After all, the Marquis treats the young lady like this, no matter the reason, he wouldn’t hold grudges against her.
