Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

In a villa filled with afternoon sunshine, Li Qing was holding her newborn baby tenderly, her eyes full of infinite love for the new life. The little one was sleeping sweetly in her arms, occasionally showing a satisfied smile.

Li Qing gently stroked the baby's soft hair, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. Then she gently put the baby back into the cradle, turned around and said to Xin Mujing who was standing beside her:

"Mu Jing, where is the kitchen? I want to look for it."

Upon hearing this, Xin Mujing immediately asked with concern: "Mother-in-law, are you hungry? I'll ask someone to prepare some food." He said as he was about to call the servants.

Li Qing waved her hands quickly, smiling warmly and brightly, "No, Mu Jing, I'm not hungry. I just thought that Yan'er had just given birth and was still weak, so I wanted to make something for her to nourish herself."

Hearing this, Xin Mujing felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and he deeply admired Li Qing's attentiveness and thoughtfulness. He quickly said, "So that's the case. Then come with me, I'll take you to the kitchen."

As he spoke, Xin Mujing personally led Li Qing to the kitchen and solemnly instructed the servants inside: "Everyone listen, this is Madam Ji, she wants to prepare something for the young lady, you must fully cooperate and follow her instructions."

The servants nodded in agreement, Li Qing gave them a grateful glance, and then began to get busy.

She took out the tonic ingredients she had prepared in advance from her bag, carefully selected, washed them, and put them into the pot. After a while, a faint medicinal fragrance filled the kitchen.

Time seemed to become particularly long and warm at this moment, until Li Qing finally boiled the tonic and put it into the thermos. She left the kitchen quietly, her heart full of concern and blessings for Ji Yan.

When I returned to the bedroom, I saw Ji Mingyu and Ji Yan sitting around the cradle, teasing the baby with smiles on their faces.

Li Qing's appearance made the two of them stop what they were doing immediately. Ji Mingyu came forward immediately, took the thermos from Li Qing, and said softly, "Slow down, Qingqing, I'll do it."

Li Qing smiled slightly and glanced at Ji Mingyu inadvertently, and the latter immediately understood.

He turned to Xin Mujing and said, "Mujing, I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about. Why don't we go to the study to talk?"

Although Xin Mujing was surprised, thinking that it was an invitation from his father-in-law, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and nodded in agreement.

So, the two of them left the bedroom one after another, leaving Li Qing and Ji Yan alone in this loving space.

In the bedroom, Li Qing watched Xin Mujing and Ji Mingyu's backs as they left, then turned around and fixed her eyes on the bowl of black tonic soup that was still slowly steaming on the bedside table.

She walked to Ji Yan's side and whispered softly, "Yan Yan, drink the soup on the table while it's hot. It's good for your health."

Ji Yan's eyes fell on the bowl of seemingly inconspicuous tonic soup. Her brows slightly frowned, and a look of disgust appeared on her face: "Mom, this soup looks so black. What do I need to replenish it? I usually take a lot of tonics."

Seeing this, Li Qing reached out her hand distressedly and gently stroked Ji Yan's cheek, her eyes full of love: "Look at you, although you are in good spirits, you still need to take good care of your body after giving birth. You have lost weight, how can your mother not feel distressed?"

Ji Yan tried to act like a spoiled brat to avoid the seemingly hard-to-swallow soup: "Oh, Mom, I'm really fine, can I not drink it?"

Li Qing felt sorry for her daughter when she saw her like this, but she also knew the importance of recuperation.

She sighed, lowered her voice, and said in a voice that only the mother and daughter could hear: "My daughter, after you gave birth to the children... well, mom wants to ask you, do you still have a close relationship with them?"

When Ji Yan heard this, her cheeks flushed instantly. She lowered her head shyly and coughed lightly to cover up her embarrassment: "Mom, why do you suddenly ask this..."

Seeing this, Li Qing raised a gentle smile. She knew that her words had touched her daughter's girlish feelings: "Yanyan, mom is concerned about you. Seeing your radiant face now, mom knows that you are doing well. However, this tonic soup is not only good for the skin and blood, but also has some effects specifically for your current body."

At this point, Li Qing glanced out the door unconsciously. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he continued, "It's good to have an intimate relationship, so that your body can recover faster. Some of the herbs in this tonic soup are to help you better adapt to this change..."

Ji Yan was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak. She never expected that her mother, who was usually dignified and gentle, would be so direct on such a topic.

She lowered her head and thought to herself, "When did my mother become so open?"

Li Qing felt amused and helpless when she saw her daughter like this. She continued, "Yanyan, I'm also an experienced person. I drank this soup after giving birth to you. This is the recipe your grandmother passed down to me. It's very effective. Now is the time to take good care of yourself. Don't be careless."

"I know you're in a stable relationship now, but mom still can't help but remind you. Men always have their needs, not to mention someone like Ming Yu. Although you've signed the contract, you can't take it lightly. After a woman gives birth, her body will indeed change, but as long as we take good care of it, we'll be able to recover to our best condition."

Ji Yan felt a warm current in her heart when she heard her mother's words. She looked up at Li Qing with a firm light in her eyes: "Mom, I understand. I will take good care of myself and communicate well with them so that you won't worry."

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction, and the mother and daughter smiled at each other, their deep affection conveyed silently.

Ji Yan was finally moved by Li Qing's caring "offensive". She blushed shyly and said softly, "Okay, okay, Mom, don't say anything. I'll just drink it."

After saying that, she mustered up her courage, carefully picked up the bowl of tonic soup that had made her hesitant before with both hands, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, Li Qing's eyes flashed with relief and satisfaction, but her motherly instinct did not stop, but became even more "exacerbated". She picked up the tablet and continued to chatter to Ji Yan about some basic knowledge about postpartum recovery:

"Good boy, by the way! I'm telling you, you must remember to massage your stomach and chest every day. This will promote blood circulation and prevent your body from getting out of shape. Also, I have a set of particularly effective body-shaping exercises. You have to do them twice a day. They will be very beneficial to your body's recovery."

Li Qing's words were like a string of cannonballs, and she didn't stop for more than ten minutes, which made her feel a little thirsty. So, she naturally took the teacup handed to her by Ji Yan, drank it all, and then couldn't wait to continue her "teaching".

"Then, you have to drink a bowl of this tonic every day. I will ask the aunt at home to prepare it for you every morning. Remember to drink it while it is hot so that the medicinal effect will be best. After a full course of treatment, your body will be almost recovered!" Li Qing's words were full of concern and expectation.
