Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home
Chapter 1792

Chapter 1792: Happiness Chapter 1792: Happiness Editor: Henyee Translations The news of Qiao Xuan’s successful delivery spread quickly among the prominent families, prompting them to dispatch women to deliver congratulatory gifts.

Following Anze Province’s customs, only close relatives and dear friends would attend the third birthday celebration, while the one-month-old celebration typically saw a broader circle of guests.

During the confinement period, it was customary to send gifts and visit the mother’s home to offer congratulations and support.

Guests wouldn’t bring gifts on the day of the banquet, as the host would have already prepared tokens of appreciation, usually in the form of wedding noodles and eggs.

In light of this, the various families began preparing their gifts, organizing groups to send their regards.

Upon learning of Qiao Xuan’s delivery, Mrs.

Guan’s heart sank.

While she didn’t wish harm upon Qiao Xuan or the child, she harbored hopes of a difficult delivery, perhaps even near-death.

In her ideal scenario, the child would have been a girl, complicating Lord Shao’s sentiments and tarnishing the couple’s relationship.

Such an outcome would have brought her immense satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, everything went smoothly with the delivery, much to Mrs.

Guan’s dismay.

Not only was it Qiao Xuan’s first child, but both mother and son were safe, and the child was a boy.

Mrs.

Guan couldn’t find it in herself to be pleased that Lord Shao now had a legitimate heir.

Despite her unhappiness, Mrs.

Guan felt obligated to visit and express her concern, given her proximity to the family as the Deputy Prefect’s wife.

With gifts in hand and accompanied by Nanny Ding and Zhenzhu, Mrs.

Guan made her way to the east courtyard.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xuan had already awakened.

Newly minted as a mother, she was brimming with excitement and couldn’t sleep for long.

Just as she had finished drinking some water and millet porridge, the baby woke up, prompting the attendants to tend to him.

His cries were delicate and heartrending, stirring empathy in anyone who heard them.

Qiao Xuan, separated from the commotion by a partition and screen, instructed Lixia to inform the attendants that she would bring the child over later.

The baby instinctively sought comfort in his mother’s arms.

As Qiao Xuan gently patted him and spoke soothing words, the baby quieted down, finding solace in her familiar voice and heartbeat.

With tearful eyes, he gazed at Qiao Xuan, melting her heart with his innocence and vulnerability.

She couldn’t help but feel a surge of love for her son.

What an endearing little creature he was!

After nursing the baby and lulling him back to sleep, Qiao Xuan entrusted him to the nanny, who carefully placed him in the cradle.

Upon learning of Mrs.

Guan’s visit, Qiao Xuan hastily instructed Lixia and Liqiu to help her freshen up, ensuring she looked presentable before welcoming their guest.

Aware of the baby’s fragility, having only recently emerged from the safety of his mother’s womb, Qiao Xuan was cautious about exposing him to the outside world and its array of bacteria.

She hesitated to let outsiders near him, fearing he might not cope well with the new environment.

For the next ten to twenty days, she resolved to keep him shielded from visitors.

The last thing she wanted was for any harm to befall him.

As Mrs.

Guan entered the room, she found Qiao Xuan lying on the bed, a serene smile gracing her features despite the lingering paleness from her recent childbirth.
