Wealth and glory seek stability

"Silly girl, what are you talking about?" Mother Xing patted Zi Cui's hand.

Qiangwei held the child in her arms, feeling the softness in her arms, and she dared not move.

Jian Xi felt her body and apart from some discomfort, she even felt like she could walk a few steps.

She took out the postpartum recovery pills given by Zhang Cen'er and drank them directly with water.

Under the guidance of Xing's mother, Qiangwei finally learned how to hold the baby. She put one arm under the baby's neck to support the head, and used the other hand to support the baby's butt.

"It's so small." Caixia sighed as she looked at the child.

"Children born by adults are good-looking, with fair and tender skin, unlike some children who are born with wrinkled and red skin." Qiangwei felt like her heart was melting just by looking at them.

Zi Cui didn't understand, "Why is it wrinkled?"

"If poor women don't eat well during pregnancy, or if the woman is in poor health during pregnancy, the babies they give birth to will be thin and look wrinkled." Mother Xing packed up her things and left with Zi Cui.

Jian Xi ate something, and the energy she had after giving birth began to fade. Caixia tugged at Qiangwei's sleeve.

Qiangwei understood and placed the child beside Jian Xi. "My Lord, you should have a good rest. Now I know how things in Saibei work. I will keep an eye on it all the time."

Jian Xi nodded, "Thank you for your hard work for a while."

Caixia looked at Jian Xi's face, which had lost some of its color, and said worriedly, "Sister, the nurse is waiting in the next room. When we leave, Zi Cui and the others will come in to guard us. Just don't worry."

Jian Xi's mind was empty. Now she just wanted to have a good sleep. She nodded vaguely and fell asleep as she watched the little guy beside her with his eyes closed.

three days later.

I don’t know if it was because of the postpartum recovery pills I took, but Jian Xi got out of bed and felt herself. Apart from some soreness in her pubic area, she didn’t feel any discomfort at all.

She did not choose to feed the child herself, but handed the child directly to the wet nurse.

Gao Qingxi was the name she personally gave to her child.

She hopes her daughter will always be as happy as the little sun.

Although Qiangwei was watching, some important matters still required her to make decisions personally.

Jian Xi sat in front of the big desk in the chief office, wearing a light blue robe and a headband with the same pattern on her head.

She looked at the thin, dull-looking woman in front of her.

Chu Lu stepped forward and kicked the woman, who staggered to the ground and finally sat on the ground.

"Lin Yun." Jian Xi's tone was cold and without a trace of emotion.

The woman on the ground seemed to have heard some familiar words and began to twist. Seeing this, Chu Lu hurriedly restrained her, holding her in place with her small hand like a stick to prevent her from moving, "Be quiet."

Jian Xi pierced through her heartlessly, "Stop pretending, I know you're not crazy."

Chu Lu slapped Lin Yun directly, "Bitch, you dare to act crazy."

Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Lin Yun looked up and stared at Jian Xi with a poisonous gaze. Her hands were tied behind her back. She was shivering with cold without much clothes on. She could no longer feel her hands. Her face was full of fear. "You are a devil!"

Jian Xi couldn't help laughing out loud. This was probably the first joke she had heard this year. "Devil? I am a devil. I am afraid you should go to the eighteenth level of hell."

Lin Yun gritted her teeth. She had never been so embarrassed before. "I am not like you. You have done so many evil things and kidnapped me from Guangling. What is your intention? If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly. Otherwise, when His Majesty finds me, I will let him skin you alive."

Lin Yun was about twenty years old, and he kept spouting vicious words.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the most vicious thing is a woman's heart, it's true." Jian Xi smacked her lips, raised her head, and pointed at Lin Yun with her chin, "Chu Lu, teach her some rules."

Chu Lu responded happily, shook her fist, and walked towards Lin Yun.

Lin Yun shrank back as if by reflex, and begged for mercy before Chu Lu's waving fist could land on him.

Jian Xi retracted her smile, but did not let her go. The rule of this era is the survival of the fittest. Lin Yun cannot enjoy the victory of the winner without paying the price of the loser.

A quarter of an hour later, Jian Xi knocked on the table.

Chu Lu stopped, pulled Lin Yun to kneel, and stepped aside.

Jian Xi touched her stomach out of habit, then suddenly remembered that her stomach was empty, so she put her hand down again. "Why, can you tell the difference between the big and small kings now?"

Lin Yun nodded subconsciously, and suddenly realized something. He raised his head abruptly, his eyes full of disbelief, "You, you are!"

Jian Xi raised the corners of her lips, "Relying on your self-righteous intelligence, you really treat others as fools. You can be considered a talent for causing the Xuanyuan Dynasty to split. Xuanyuan Chaocheng treated you well, but you kicked him away after taking advantage of him and turned around to join the Jin King's sect. What are you planning so hard? Let me guess."

Jian Xi pointed her index finger at her head, pretending to think for a moment, "You want to be the empress?"

Seeing a strange look on Lin Yun's face, Jian Xi sneered, "What an incompetent idiot."

Lin Yun retorted, "I'm not stupid. If I hadn't fallen into your hands this time, I would have joined forces with the Jiangnan family to fight against the rebels. If you have the guts, let me go. Let's compete in wisdom and strategy openly. Don't use such mean tricks."

Jian Xi looked at her and straightened her back. If someone didn't know her, they would think she was a loyal person. "Chu Lu."

Chu Lu understood and slapped him twice.

Jian Xi supported herself on the table with one hand and said, "Are you worthy enough to play tricks on me?" As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized something was wrong. Why did she look like that vicious villain?

Could it be that she has a talent in this area? According to the normal routine, the male protagonist should appear now to rescue the female protagonist, and then she would be courting death and be pinned to the ground and tortured madly by the two men.

"..."

No, the more Jian Xi thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was very high. She glanced out the window several times, and was relieved only when she didn't see anyone coming.

Come to think of it, given the current situation of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, Xuanyuan Qiyuan is being trained by Xuanyuan Zhan as the next heir, and now is such a critical moment. Given the ruthlessness of the men in the Xuanyuan family, they can even abandon their own sons, let alone an abandoned child who has no more use value.

Unless Xuanyuan Qiyuan has lost his mind.

"Lin Yun, you have framed me time and again. I have never offended you, and I have even treated you with great respect. Yet you turned against me and even plotted to take my life. I want to know what is going on in your mind. Haven't you always advertised yourself as fair and kind?"

Lin Yun saw that there was no way out. The woman opposite her was likely from the same place as her. The specialness that she had always been proud of was no longer useful. She simply gave up:

"Anyway, women of this era all accept slave mentality, thinking that their fate is up to God and not themselves. I have far more knowledge than them, so why can't I make a name for myself?"
