Chapter 295 Did I do something wrong?

Ye Jinrong had been hiding near the Marquis' Mansion. When she saw a maid calling for a doctor, she felt relieved. Fortunately, her eldest sister did not vent her anger on Baoer and was willing to call a doctor for Baoer.

But wasn't A-Lian taken away by the government? Why did Xia Chunyu only bring A-Lian out?

Ye Jinrong was not a fool. She understood after a little thought. No wonder her elder sister knew everything. It turned out that there was a spy around her.

However, it is meaningless to pursue these things now. Instead, she is somewhat fortunate that her eldest sister and brother-in-law did not break up, so her baby still has a refuge now.

Baoer was safe, and Ye Jinrong began to worry about Liujiang again. Would he be able to get out this time? He hadn't considered himself at all. Where would he stay tonight? Would he starve to death without any money?

A Lian recognized Bao Er at the first sight. After Bao Er was born, she was the one who held Bao Er the most, except for the second young lady. She still had deep feelings for Bao Er and was reluctant to let him go.

After the doctor diagnosed the child, he did not prescribe any medicine, saying that the child was too young to take medicine, and that the child had just caught a cold. He boiled garlic with some sugar and fed it to the child to dissipate the cold. This was a folk remedy, and if it didn't work, he would prescribe another medicine tomorrow.

Xia Chunyu sent the doctor out, and when he came back, he saw that the doors and windows were closed tightly. Yaoyao and A Lian were giving Baoer a bath in the bathroom, and laughter could be heard from inside from time to time.

Xia Chunyu was absent-minded for a moment, then smiled. With a child, the feeling at home was different. Unfortunately, this was not his and Yaoyao's child.

Qiao Xi asked the eldest young lady for a few sets of clothes that the little lady had worn when she was a child. After a while, Ye Jiayao came out holding the fragrant and tender Bao'er.

"Chun Yu, look how cute Bao'er is. Look, he's even sucking his fingers..." In just a short while, Ye Jiayao had been conquered by this little baby and loved him very much.

Xia Chunyu leaned over to take a look, and saw Baoer with his eyes closed, smacking his fist with his little mouth, as if he was not yet satisfied with the meal.

"Little foodie, little glutton..." Xia Chunyu sneered.

Looking at such a fair and lovely child, my heart softened. Looking at Yaoyao again, her eyes were as gentle as water, full of the radiance of maternal love. Who said that a woman who becomes a mother is the most beautiful? Xia Chunyu couldn't understand it before, but now he understands it.

Ye Jiayao smiled and said, "A child this young has only one mission, which is to eat well, sleep well, and work hard to grow up. Of course she loves to eat!"

Xia Chunyu looked at Yaoyao with amusement. Yaoyao even spoke to the child in an extremely soft voice, as if she was afraid of waking the child.

A Lian and Qiao Xi packed up the bathtub and other things and came out of the bathroom.

"Miss, please leave Baoer to me! I was the one who took care of Baoer before." A Lian said.

Ye Jiayao carefully placed Bao'er in her hands and said, "Then you'll have to take care of her first. Wait until the second young lady comes to take Bao'er away, then you can leave, okay?"

A Lian didn't know where to go for a while, but she was worried about Bao Er, so she followed the eldest lady's arrangements.

Ye Jiayao asked Qiao Xi to take A Lian to settle down, and called Song Qi, asking him to go to the pastry shop tomorrow morning and ask Jiang Yue to get some milk. The child is so young and is in the growth period. Without breast milk, he will have to drink milk, which is better than eating rice porridge.

Then she asked Xiangtao to find some soft cotton cloth, and together they cut the cotton cloth into two-foot square pieces to use as diapers for Baoer.

Seeing her busy all the time and being so careful and considerate to Jinrong's child, Xia Chunyu thought that if she became a mother, she would definitely be a very competent mother.

But when will they have children?
Thinking about this question makes me feel heavy-hearted. Yaoyao has been conditioning her body and taking medicine for almost half a year. Although Imperial Physician Li said that there is little hope, it is still hope...

Or maybe he should work harder, sow more and have a greater chance of reaping the rewards.

Finally, when Yaoyao was done with her work, the two of them lay on the bed. Ye Jiayao sighed quietly and said, "Chunyu, do you think I'm being too much to Jinrong?"

Xia Chunyu supported his head with one hand and clasped his other hand on her waist, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Why do you think so?"

Ye Jiayao rubbed against his arms, and said with some fear: "I just feel that Bao'er is so pitiful. Look at her, she is so hungry, crying and sweating, and she is also sick. If Jinrong hadn't handed Bao'er to me, I don't know what the consequences would be... The child is innocent."

"But when I did that, I didn't consider Bao'er at all. I just wanted to teach Jinrong a lesson."

Xia Chunyu hugged her and comforted her, "You didn't do anything wrong. Jinrong deserves to be punished. Even if you didn't do it, I wouldn't let her go. She brought this upon herself and can't blame anyone else. As for Baoer, if you feel guilty about her and like her, you can take care of her more in the future. I won't object."

"Well, I've never met Bao'er. This child is really cute and well-behaved..." Ye Jiayao's heart melted when she thought of Bao'er. Perhaps it was because she was so eager to have a child but had never been able to do so, so she especially liked children.

"Our children will be even cuter in the future." Xia Chunyu laughed softly.

This made Ye Jiayao very uneasy. What if there was no such thing? What if she could never be a mother?
My heart twitched violently, as if it was squeezed by an invisible hand.

If this were the case, her life would not be perfect. How could the future Marquis, the son of the Marquis of Jing'an, be without a descendant? Even if Chunyu didn't mind, would Youshi not mind? Would the Marquis not mind? At that time, would he force Chunyu to take a concubine?
When you are depressed, you tend to think about bad things, which creates a vicious cycle.

Want her to share the person she loves most with another woman? She couldn't do it. It would be more painful than killing her. Seeing her gradually gloomy expression, Xia Chunyu felt very distressed. He kissed her eyebrows and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, we will definitely have a child."

There was another sentence he didn't say, but even if he didn't, he would accept his fate. To him, she was more important than anyone or anything else.

His hand slid into her underwear, and he caressed her smooth and delicate skin inch by inch with extreme gentleness, also trying to soothe the melancholy in her heart.

Ye Jiayao got up before dawn and went to see Baoer first. The little guy was sleeping soundly. She then told Song Qi to get some milk so that Baoer could drink the delicious milk when he woke up.

Then she went out and found Lin Changchun. She remembered that Lin Changchun's daughter ran an embroidery workshop. It was not that she was soft-hearted and wanted to help Ye Jinrong, she just hoped that Ye Jinrong could settle down as soon as possible and support herself. She knew Jinrong's temper and was afraid that she would not return to Yangzhou to rely on Ye Binghuai. She did not want to let her sisters in Yangzhou know that she had fallen to such a state.

A desperate woman can easily go astray. She did all this for Baoer's sake, not wanting Baoer to have a worse mother, and hoping that Ye Jinrong could reform herself and be a down-to-earth person this time.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Many businesses are closed and there are not many pedestrians on the streets. It seems a bit depressed, but everyone's face is filled with joy. Today is the day for family reunion. What could be happier than a family reunion?

Ye Jinrong shrank and walked in the street at a loss, not knowing where to go. The world was so big, but there was no place for her. Every family was reunited, but she was the only one torn apart.

She hid near the Marquis' Mansion last night. The security in that area is better. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for a woman like her to sleep alone on the streets.

She shuddered at the thought of having to spend every night like this from now on.

She could bear it for a day or two, but if it continued like this, she would probably really become a beggar.

In the face of poverty and hunger, dignity is worthless.

"De'er, go..." A carriage passed by and Ye Jinrong slowly moved aside.

The carriage stopped, and a maid got off the carriage and posted notices on the street, muttering: "Miss, why do you have to post notices today? Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are not many people on the street. Where can I find an embroiderer who is good at needlework..."

Ye Jinrong looked up and saw a notice saying that Ruyi Embroidery Workshop was recruiting embroiderers for a one-month trial period, with food and accommodation provided...

She had no intention of watching what happened next. The words "free food and accommodation" had already made her overjoyed. It turned out that there is always a way out.

She stepped forward boldly and asked, "Sister..."

The maid looked her up and down and said, "It looks like I'm younger than you!"

Ye Jinrong quickly changed the subject: "Sister, may I ask, what are the conditions for recruiting embroiderers?"

The maid said, "Of course there are conditions, the embroidery must be done well."

Ye Jinrong was delighted and took out a handkerchief to show her: "I embroidered this myself. Take a look. Can I do it like this?"

The maid took it, looked through it, and asked, "Where are you from?"

"I'm from Yangzhou."

The maid returned the handkerchief to her and said casually, "It's OK, but in the end, our young lady has the final say. Why don't you come with me to see my young lady? Hey, what's your name?"

"My last name is Ye, Ye Jinrong."

"Okay, come with me!" The maid got on the carriage.

Ye Jinrong thanked him profusely and followed the carriage.

The maid sitting in the carriage breathed a sigh of relief and complained in her heart that this job was really not easy. The whole street was looking for this person named Ye, and she had to bring him to the embroidery workshop without leaving any trace. She didn't know what the young lady was doing. She had never heard the young lady mention this person before.

Ye Jinrong met the owner of Ruyi Embroidery Workshop, Lin Ruyi. She was successfully retained. Ye Jinrong almost cried with joy. Finally, she no longer had to sleep on the streets and could have three meals a day.

At this moment, she did not think about how she, the jewel in the crown of the Yangzhou Tongzhi and the second daughter of the Ye family, would one day fall to the point of working as an embroiderer in an embroidery workshop and have to earn a living with her own hands. She only thought that she was already satisfied with such treatment, and when she had saved enough money, she would take Baoer back.

After falling from a high point to a low point, her state of mind has changed. Reality does not allow her to have any grand dreams or unrealistic fantasies anymore. She can only take one step at a time.

Before making dinner, Ye Jiayao received news from the Lin family that people were already in the embroidery workshop. Ye Jiayao felt relieved.
