"Wah..."
[Oh no, oh no, I think I just peed!]
[I-I-I really peed, how embarrassing, boohoo, I don't want to live.]
With warmth under her bottom, Yun Wanqing was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into, and couldn't help but cry out loud.
Just as she started crying, she quickly stopped, with a bewildered expression.
[Ahhh, why did I even cry, boohoo, how much more embarrassing can it get?]
Lady Yun paused for a moment, quickly took a clean diaper and put it on her.
"Don't cry, don't cry, it's just urine, it's okay, it's okay, mommy will change you into a new one right away."
[...]
Yun Wanqing was very sure that being reincarnated with memories as a child is not always so wonderful. Experiencing these things that can only be calmly faced when one is ignorant is really a bit embarrassing.
A 'creak', Lady Yun had just put on the new diaper, the door was pushed open, and a burly figure, covered in dust, strode in.
It was Duke Ning, Yun Zheng.
After receiving news from the servant boy, he hurried back from the army camp.
Taking off the cloak he wrapped around himself to ward off the cold, he then walked to Lady Yun's side, grabbed her hand with concern, his voice urgent and caring.
"Lady, you've given birth, how is your body, is it well?"
Lady Yun looked at him and smiled gently, "I'm fine, husband, don't worry."
Yun Zheng looked her over, and seeing that she was indeed fine, finally let go of his worried heart.
"Military matters are pressing, your husband couldn't free himself until now, I couldn't accompany you through labor, I've wronged you greatly."
"Look at what husband is saying?"
Lady Yun glanced at him coyly, understanding and said, "The labor was sudden, husband has important duties and cannot split himself, it wasn't intentional not to accompany me, I'm not wronged at all."
"Alas."
Yun Zheng sighed, drawing her into his arms.
"The more the lady is so understanding, the more at odds your husband feels, but it's good as long as you're fine, you don't know, upon hearing you were due, your husband was frightened to death."
No matter how he hurried, it was still a bit late.
He was in the army with Ye'er and Seventh was out with Chen'er seeking medical treatment for a leg, while Yao'er was studying at the girls' academy; apart from the servants and the ill-intentioned Yang Xin'er, only lady Yun was at the mansion.
Unimaginable, if something unexpected happened during labor, how terrifying it would be.
[Oh, this must be my dad, when did my dad come back?]
[Dad and mom have such a good relationship, shipping CP here, who gets it family?]
[So sweet, so sweet, my teeth are about to rot.]
[Uh uh uh, almost forgot, I don't have teeth now.]
[It's not important, not important, what matters is I'm truly swooning, ah ah ah, so happy!]
Lady Yun: "..."
Almost forgot, there's this little bundle with past life memories, also who can know our fates.
Yun Zheng: "??? "
His sturdy frame shook, eyes gleaming with sharpness.
Who's speaking?
Calling him dad too?
And what does shipping CP mean?
Suddenly, Lady Yun pushed him away, bashfully picking up a little bundle and handed it to him.
"Husband, this is our child, a daughter, quickly come and hold her."
Daughter?
Is this the child born today by the lady?
Yun Zheng was slightly taken aback, carefully took her over, then, met a pair of bright starry eyes.
[Wow, my dad is so handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, exceptionally beautiful, ah ah ah, this look is such a perfect match with mom, they're simply a pair of heavenly immortals.]
[No wonder Yang Xin'er thinks about my dad every day, my dad's actually this good-looking.]
Yun Zheng: "..."
What's with the little bundle in his arms?
How does she even know about Yang Xin'er fancying him?
She clearly can't speak yet, why could he hear those voices?
Could it be, what he heard, were her inner thoughts?
Is it he who is special, or is it the little bundle who is special?
Yun Zheng secretly glanced at Lady Yun, seeing her indifferent expression, he slightly released a breath.
Seems like, only he can hear the little bundle's inner thoughts, otherwise, upon hearing Yang Xin'er fancying him, the lady wouldn't be so calm.
Lady Yun, seeing him so composed, also quashed her doubts about whether he could hear the little bundle's inner thoughts.
He definitely can't hear them.
Otherwise, he would absolutely not be so calm, seems like, only she can hear the little bundle's inner thoughts, truly a mother daughter duo.
[Besides being good-looking, my dad's combat and leadership skills are top-notch.]
[At the age of thirteen, he was on the battlefield fighting enemies and made a name for himself, rising from a declining Aristocratic Family, relying on his military exploits, gaining the late Emperor's favor.]
[The late Emperor praised him as Da Wu Country's Heavenly Strategy General, conferred him Duke Ning, he is loyal to the country, loves the people, pampers his wife and young siblings, simply super invincible perfect.]
The daughter's one compliment after another made Yun Zheng feel quite pleased, the corners of his lips curled up, gradually reveling in delight, yet instantly, it was as if cold water was dumped over him, chills ran through his body.
[Alas, only it's a pity, such a perfect dad isn't the protagonist, he's got a cannon fodder script.]
[After mom was killed by Yang Xin'er, dad was in constant agony, no longer cared about the intrigues of the Court, later, big brother and sister offended the female protagonist, in a fit of anger, the female protagonist colluded with the great villain, killing dad.]
[They disregarded the soldiers' lives, secretly cut off dad's supplies, bribed insiders to cause dad's defeat, even leading to dad being captured by the enemy.]
[Dad, the once undefeated Heavenly Strategy General, Duke of Da Wu Country by military merit, ended up as a captive.]
[Ultimately, died tragically under the enemy's knife, his head hung on the city wall exposed for three months, becoming the enemy's taunt against Da Wu Country.]
[Dad's life-long honor was thus extinguished, the captive label, after his death, like a bone-eating maggot clinging to his body, a stain that couldn't be washed away.]
[No one remembers how much blood he shed, how many injuries he suffered for his title by combat merits.]
[When everyone mentions dad again, they only mock him as the first trophy in Da Wu Country's history to have his head paraded on enemy city walls as a warning.]
[A lifetime of military service, a great hero protecting the country and loving the people, yet after death, spit upon by those he protected, it's just heaven being blind... ]
[...]
The little bundle's inner voice continued, but Yun Zheng could no longer hear it clearly.
His whole body shook, his exquisite handsome face pale without the slightest color, only one phrase echoed in his head 'mom was killed by Yang Xin'er'!
Would the lady be killed?
No, no, he absolutely won't allow it, absolutely won't allow it!
Yang Xin'er..., looks like, that woman can't be kept around, Yun Zheng's eyes quickly flashed with a dark glint.
And Lady Yun, she didn't fare much better.
She bit her lips hard, they were already bitten through, waves of piercing pain came, yet it seemed as though she didn't feel it.
She always knew she would take her own life to preserve the reputation of the Duke Mansion and her husband, but never imagined, after her death, the husband would suffer so tragically.
In the little bundle's inner words, who is the female protagonist colluding with the great villain to kill her husband?
