Chen Lerong's face was distorted with anger. This Bai Lian was too amazing. She gave birth to a boy as her first pregnancy.

Seeing everyone in the mansion happily surrounding Bai Lian, she was so angry that her face turned red. She whispered, "It's just a birth of a son, and you are all so happy."

After the maid had cleaned up the delivery room, He's father couldn't wait to walk into the room and held Bai Lian's hand: "Thank you for your hard work. You gave me a big fat boy."

Hearing that it was a son, Bai Lian breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter whether the second and third children were sons or not. "How is the child?"

"Very well, very healthy. Once the midwife has cleaned the baby, she will bring it to you."

Bai Lian smiled and nodded. She had just given birth, said a few words, and then fell asleep due to exhaustion.

Father He nervously took his son from the midwife's hands and sat in front of the bed, unwilling to leave.

Chen Lerong rolled her eyes. She felt like a superfluous person inserted between the two of them. She couldn't stand it anymore and turned around and left the room.

……

Nanny Chen, who had taken care of Bai Lian throughout her pregnancy, returned to the Prince's Mansion and told He Shulan that Bai Lian had given birth to a son.

He Shulan's lips curled up into a happy smile: "Very good, you gave birth to a big fat boy for the first time. You have worked hard during this period. Go back and rest first. When you are well, come and serve me."

After Nanny Chen left, she told Qiu Dong: "Go prepare some tonic for postpartum recovery and give it to Bai Lian."

"Yes." Qiu Dong came to the warehouse, picked up some donkey-hide gelatin and ginseng, and came to He's house.

Halfway through the journey, Chen Lerong stopped him and asked, "What does He Shulan want you to do in He's mansion?"

Qiu Dong didn't want to reply, but due to Chen Lerong's identity, he had to answer: "My master learned that Aunt Bai had given birth, so he specially asked me to send some supplements over."

Chen Lerong frowned, remembering what He Shuzhen said to her at the last birthday party. Xiaoyu beside her saw He Shulan walk out of Bai Lian's yard with her own eyes: "Does your master know Bai Lian?"

Qiudong and Chunxia are responsible for different tasks. Chunxia serves her personally, while she is more responsible for the outer courtyard. Chunxia knows more about her master's affairs.

And she knew very little: "I am not very clear."

Chen Lerong was furious: "If I don't know Bai Lian, why would I ask you to deliver the gift?"

"Uh..." Chen Lerong's exasperated look was a little puzzling to Qiu Dong: "Bai Lian is the master's concubine. Not only does my master know her, but we also know her. Is there any problem?"

Chen Lerong became even angrier. She didn't know whether the girl in front of her understood what she said or was deliberately beating around the bush with her.

Qiu Dong went on to say, "Madam, if there is nothing else, I will leave first. I have to get back to the Prince's Mansion before dark." After saying that, she ignored Chen Lerong and walked forward with the supplements.

Chen Lerong felt more and more that Bai Lian was brought to He's father by He Shulan, so she quietly followed Qiu Dong to Bai Lian's yard.

Bai Lian had woken up at this time. When she saw Qiu Dong, she knew that she was sent by He Shulan, and she struggled to get up from the bed with her weak body.

Qiu Dong stepped forward to support Bai Lian: "Your body has not recovered yet, don't move. The princess learned that you gave birth to a son, so she asked me to bring you some supplements."

She put her things on the table.

Bai Lian was touched. Meeting He Shulan was the greatest luck in her life. "I'm sorry to have let the princess spend money."

Qiu Dong didn't think much about it: "You are the concubine of the He family, this is as it should be."

"Didn't the Princess have anything else to say to you? Why didn't she come in person?" Bai Lian had a lot to say to her.

"No." Qiu Dong replied bluntly: "Just let me send you supplements."

Bai Lian wanted to ask more, but when she saw Chen Lerong hiding at the door, she knew she was eavesdropping there, so she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth and said, "Thank the Princess for me."

Seeing He's father coming in, she deliberately praised He Shulan in front of him: "The princess is still the best. I just gave birth and asked someone to send supplements over."

Father He looked at the supplements on the table and smiled faintly: "She is thoughtful. Not only does she have expensive donkey-hide gelatin, but she also has century-old ginseng. These are hard to buy with money on the market."

Bai Lian glanced at the door intentionally or unintentionally, and saw Chen Lerong hiding there: "Yes, the lady hasn't expressed anything until now. I don't know if she is unhappy because I gave birth to a son."

He's father's face turned very ugly. Until now, Chen Lerong had indeed never appeared.

Chen Lerong, who was hiding outside the door, glared at Bai Lian fiercely. This damn woman was trying to please He's father.

I didn't want to continue eavesdropping, so I turned back to the warehouse in my room and spent a long time picking but couldn't find a suitable one.

The real reason was that the supplements He Shulan gave were too expensive. It was not that she couldn't afford it, but she didn't want to give something so expensive.

The gift was too cheap, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Bai Lian. After hesitating for a long time, he finally reluctantly gave up the fish maw and blood bird's nest worth a hundred gold coins to Bai Lian.

Bai Lian saw Chen Lerong's painful expression and smiled with an ambiguous meaning, "Madam is really generous. Not only did she give me fish maw, she also gave me rare blood swallows."

Father He nodded with satisfaction: "Madam is thoughtful."

"It's my duty." Chen Lerong said this with gritted teeth, her heart bleeding. She usually lived frugally, and all the supplements she had left over went into Bai Lian's mouth.

Bai Lian suffered heavy losses with just a few words in front of He's father.

At this time, the servant walked into the room and said, "Master, Madam, dinner is ready. You can go to the living room to eat."

He's father wanted to stay and take care of Bai Lian and was unwilling to go to the living room to eat.

Chen Lerong wanted to ask He's father if Bai Lian was sent to the mansion by He Shulan: "There are so many servants in the room, you don't have to worry too much. You should go eat first. When you have the energy, you can continue to take care of Aunt Bai."

Hearing this, He's father felt a little hungry, so he left Bai Lian to the care of the servants and followed Chen Lerong to the living room to eat.

Chen Lerong picked up the wine pot on the table and filled the cup in front of He's father: "Today Bai Lian gave birth to a son, I will drink a glass with you."

Father He was so happy that he picked up his glass and drank it all: "Today is indeed a good day, it's time to have a good drink."

Chen Lerong refilled He's father's wine glass.

Father He drank one cup after another, and gradually he couldn't handle the alcohol anymore. His face turned red and his consciousness gradually became blurred.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Lerong came up to He's father and asked in a low voice, "Was Bai Lian sent to the mansion by He Shulan?"

Speaking of Bai Lian, the drunken father He smiled shyly: "Yes! It was my eldest daughter who cared about me and sent Bai Lian to me, and even let her give birth to a son for me."
