Su Shuiche slept for two days and one night. Even after Long Xiyue and Ouyang Xun took turns to take her pulse and repeatedly emphasized that she was fine and just needed to sleep because of exhaustion, Lin Siyao still panicked, fearing that she would never wake up.
Other than the three mealtimes when Si Chong and Louis Stu forcefully dragged him to the dining hall to eat, he stayed by Su Shuiche's bedside almost all the time.
Prince Jing and his princess consort Feng Caiyun also arrived two hours after Su Shuiche was in labor.
The first thing they did was to hug the pair of precious twins that Qing Lan handed out from the delivery room.
Because the father of the twins was preoccupied with his wife in the room, he didn't notice them at all.
When Liang Xuanjing and his wife Feng Caiyun saw this, they looked at each other and smiled.
With such a son-in-law, how could they be dissatisfied with him?!
He was outstanding looking and treated Shuiche well.
As a woman, regardless of status or family background, didn't they yearn for such a husband who would accompany them hand in hand and care for them?
As a result, the worries that were originally hanging in their hearts were put to rest.
Fortunately, Granny Liang had found two wet nurses in the city in advance. When Su Shuiyong gave birth to the Little Miss and Little Master, she sent the guards to pick them up. Otherwise, with her son-in-law's heart hanging on the Little Miss and Little Master, he would ignore the newborn twins. Moreover, the Little Miss had fallen into a deep sleep, the Little Miss and Little Master would probably starve.
As a result, Mama Liang and Chun Lan looked at each other and rejoiced that they listened to the old prince and princess consort's arrangement and came to serve their young miss.
Otherwise, they didn't dare to imagine how messy the family would be.
…
When Su Shuiche woke up, it was still dusky outside the room. It probably wasn't three in the morning yet.
He stretched lazily, only to feel that the exhaustion from before had completely disappeared, and what was left was a refreshed feeling.
She stretched out her right hand and touched a warm object.
She turned her head in surprise and saw that it was Lin Siyao who was lying on the bed and dozing off.
The moment he touched her hand, he raised his head in alarm. Seeing that she was safe and sound and smiling at him, he took her small hand and pressed it against his face. He asked in a hoarse voice, "You're awake?
How do you feel? "
"I'm very good."
Su Shuiche gently stroked his bearded chin and looked into his bloodshot eyes, her heart aching, "Why don't you go back to the room to sleep?"
"It's the same no matter where I sleep."
He enjoyed her comfort and comfort and then helped her sit up carefully and leaned against the bed, "Hungry?
I'll go get some food. "
"I'm a little hungry.
Where are the babies? "
She looked around. she looked around in surprise.. but didn't see the twins that she spent so much effort to give birth to twins, she looked around in surprise..
Looking around, she found that the two small beds that were placed in the room were also gone.
"Shuiche, your parents, cough ….. I mean the old Duke and Old Princess from the Prince Jing Palace are here. They will help take care of the children." Lin Siyao looked at her deeply.
Before he met her, he never thought that he would marry a wife. He also never thought that he would marry such a gentle and graceful woman. He also never thought that she would be the daughter of a King's Mansion, a young lady of a noble family.
When Duke Jing and Princess Consort Jing got off the carriage and looked at him carefully, he actually felt uneasy because of his bloodstained past. He was afraid that they would bring back their daughter and not acknowledge him as a son-in-law.
Although he didn't care about the eyes of the world and didn't care about the wealth and status that Shuiche's family background represented, because these weren't what he wanted in the first place and it wasn't what he wanted.
He only wanted this little woman. If her parents didn't acknowledge him, didn't acknowledge their marriage and tried to obstruct them, he could take her to the ends of the world without a word. But he wouldn't be able to stop her from being related to her parents by blood.
Luckily, his parents-in-law weren't as snobbish as he thought.
Not only did they accept him at first sight, they also took responsibility for all the decisions that an elder should make, including preparing all the necessities for the post-natal confinement period. They even actively wanted the maids to move the small beds to their bamboo garden, hoping that the two darlings would stay with them at night. Of course, because it was cold, the darlings couldn't be exposed to the wind. In the end, they were placed in the east wing and looked after carefully during the day.
This also allowed him to stay by Su Shui Yue's side without any distractions, accompanying her as she woke up.
"Father and mother?" Su Shuiche heard this and raised her eyebrows in surprise, "The old Duke and Old Princess from the Prince Jing Palace?"
Could it be that she still hadn't woken up?
Wasn't it said that her previous self was the old Duke's illegitimate daughter? Her birth mother's memorial tablet was only welcomed into the Palace's Ancestral Hall because of a pleading letter from her previous self before she left home?
How could such an illegitimate daughter, who could be said to have been forgotten by the Palace, receive the old Duke's favor and personally come to visit her during her delivery?
And the old Princess Consort didn't have any reason to be so good to her, right?
Not only did she send the maids and manservants to serve her, but she also personally accompanied the old Duke?
If it was just to show off the generosity of the Palace's Mistress, wasn't it too much?
After all, no woman would be willing to care so much about the child of another woman and her husband.
Su Shuiche patted her cheeks, hoping that she would wake up a little.
Lin Siyao pulled down her hand in amusement, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Eat something first. They will tell you about this matter."
After dinner last night, the old Duke had invited him to the study to talk for an hour and he had already understood the cause and effect of the entire matter.
Su Shuiche's original name before she lost her memory was Liang Enxu. She was the biological daughter of Duke Jing's first wife, the Princess Consort.
When she was just born, the tongfang maidservant Yu Lin was jealous and schemed to take her out of the Palace and throw her to a rocky hill. Fortunately, she was saved by Feng Caiyun's distant cousin, Fang Qing.
However, even though Fang Qing saved Liang Enxu, because Duke Jing refused to marry her as a concubine, she took Liang Enxu to a faraway place. Not only did she not send her back to the Prince Jing Palace, she also did not send someone to inform Feng Caiyun. After Liang Enxu grew up, she made up a story and told Liang Enxu that she was the biological daughter of Fang Qing and Duke Jing. Because the Palace did not allow the two of them to live together, they had to rely on each other for survival outside.
Indeed, because she was afraid of being suspected by acquaintances, Fang Qing did not bring Enxu back to her hometown. Instead, she deliberately chose a small town to live in.
She even disappeared without a trace in the Imperial Capital. Because of this, when Liang Xuanjing sent people to investigate the matter of his daughter's premature death, he missed out on the clue of Fang Qi.
When Enxu was thirteen years old, Fang Qing was sick for a long time and passed away after being sick for a long time.
Before she passed away, she requested Enxu to look for Duke Jing in the Imperial Capital many times. She only said that Enxu was Duke Jing's biological daughter but did not tell her that she was not her biological mother.
She was afraid that Enxu would still resent her before she died.
She only asked her to bring a letter to Duke Jing.
In the letter, she truthfully wrote that Enxu was the daughter of Duke Jing and the Princess Consort. She also wrote about the various things that the two of them had faced in the past thirteen years, as well as her remorse.
If she had not been blinded by her resentment, she might have already married and had a child. Why would she be swallowed by her remorse and gradually weaken her body?
Hence, she repeatedly begged Duke Jing and the Princess Consort to forgive her for her actions in the letter, so that her spirit in heaven could close her eyes and rest.
Liang Enxu who did not know the truth, thought that her mother was brooding over the fact that the Palace did not allow the two of them, mother and son, so she fell ill and passed away. Hence, she held a deep grudge against the Palace.
But she had no choice but to follow her mother's instructions. She brought along all the belongings that her mother had after selling the mansion and came to the Imperial Capital to look for the Prince Jing Palace.
In order to vent her anger, she did not hand over her mother's letter to Duke Jing in advance. Instead, she directly announced that she was Duke Jing's illegitimate daughter, born from Duke Jing and a commoner's woman.
She wanted to see with her own eyes how this heartless father of hers would deal with this daughter who suddenly popped out of nowhere.
As expected, Duke Jing secretly sent people to investigate her story. At the same time, she was attacked and ridiculed by the various Young Misses and Concubines in the residence.
After realising the bad situation that she might face in the future, the lofty and unyielding Liang Enxu left behind a letter requesting Duke Jing to marry her biological mother Fang Qing's memorial tablet and place it in the Palace's Ancestral Hall. Together with the last words written by her mother, she left them on the study table and escaped from the Palace alone.
After that, Lin Siyao met Su Shuiyong, who had lost her memory and had a very different personality, on Dashi Mountain …
After Duke Jing and Princess Consort Jing thoroughly investigated the accident that year, they finally confirmed that Su Shuiche was their long-lost daughter.
That was why they made the following arrangements.
They were afraid that if they revealed the truth before they found their daughter, it would make their daughter suspect their intentions and avoid them even more.
As such, they went along with her wishes and first welcomed Fang Qing's memorial tablet into the Ancestral Hall and conferred her the position of Concubine. It could be considered as repaying her for saving their daughter's life back then and also hoped that their daughter would return after hearing this news.
Then, they posted a high number of people looking for their daughter to return to the Palace.
Fortunately, their eldest son, Liang Enzai's classmate and good friend — — Duke Xiang, it was said that when he and his wife were offering incense in a remote but efficacious temple, they saw a lady who looked very similar to their daughter's portrait on the list …..
Liang Xuanjing immediately sent people to search in this direction and finally, they found Su Shuiche in Floral Town.
He sent his most trusted Chief Steward An and Mammy Xia to inquire about her but found out that she was already married and pregnant. Amidst their happiness, they were deeply worried.
In this remote mountain village far away from the Emperor, was the birth safe and smooth?
Hence, they arranged for maids and servants to come and serve her …..
…..
Su Shuiche was speechless for a long time after listening to the two people's explanations.
Heavens, what kind of luck did she have?
Originally, she thought that the original body that was possessed was at most a lady from a noble family similar to the Su family. Who would have thought that she was an illegitimate daughter of the Palace? Fortunately, her birth mother was already dead and she was welcomed into the Ancestral Hall of the Palace. She was also relieved of her worries. Her birth mother who had lived with her for more than ten years was no longer around. She didn't know her birth father and wasn't very willing to admit her identity. To her, this was actually a good thing.
At least, she could live with Ah Yao in Floral Town for the rest of her life without any more pressure.
Who would have thought that after a series of twists and turns, she actually became the legitimate daughter of the Palace — — the only biological daughter of Duke Jing and Princess Consort Jing!
How could she, a lonely soul who had nothing to do with them, bear this!
