Mr. Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam San had a difficult labor caused by an abnormal fetal position. I have already used acupuncture to help the baby change his position, and he should be able to give birth soon."

In fact, before the birth, he checked Su Qingyu's pulse and found that the fetal position was normal. It was probably the twisting of the baby during the birth that caused the subsequent situation.

After hearing what Mr. Zhou said, Shen Zhixiu felt slightly relieved, but he was still worried.

Another quarter of an hour later, the sound of a baby crying was finally heard in the delivery room.

This clear and crisp cry was like the sound of nature to Shen Zhixiu, the most beautiful sound he had ever heard in his life.

The old lady who was kneeling and praying for Buddha's blessing also stood up, and Xiangdong and Yang helped her up.

A moment later, a midwife came out to announce the good news, "Congratulations, old lady, congratulations, Third Master, Third Madam has given birth to a little master."

The old lady was overjoyed when she heard this and said loudly, "A generous reward."

Shen Zhixiu asked anxiously, "How is Madam?"

The midwife smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Third Master. Madam is fine. She is just very tired and has fallen asleep."

Shen Zhixiu was still worried. The midwife might be good at delivering babies, but her medical skills were not good enough.

He turned to look at Mr. Zhou and said, "Your Majesty, please help me take a look. I feel uneasy."

Mr. Zhou naturally agreed. Even if Shen Zhixiu didn't say it, he would go in to take the patient's pulse and prescribe medicine.

After Zhenzhu and the others helped Su Qingyu make the bed and changed her into clean bedding and clothes, everyone went in to see her.

Shen Zhixiu sat on the edge of the bed, took Su Qingyu's hand, and put her hand to his mouth.

“Qingqing, you’ve suffered.”

Su Qingyu shook her head and looked around, obviously looking for the child.

Shen Zhixiu said quickly, "Don't move. The baby has been taken to the bathroom by the nurse to take a bath. The baby is fine. Just rest assured and take care of yourself."

The old lady, Madam Xiang, and Yang also came in and asked Su Qingyu about her well-being.

While they were talking, the wet nurse came out holding the washed child and bowed to the old lady.

"Sixth Young Master pays respects to Grandmother, to the two aunts, and to Father and Mother."

The old lady quickly stood up, walked forward and looked at the child, unable to take her eyes off him for a moment.

"This child is really good-looking. His eyebrows and eyes are a bit like Qingyu, and his mouth is more like Zhixiu."

The newborn baby was pink and wrinkled, and certainly not pretty. But in the old lady's eyes, even the hair was pretty.

Yang and Madam Xiang also came over and looked at the baby in the wet nurse's arms, and their hearts softened.

At this time, Shen Zhizheng was holding a warm cotton towel to wipe Su Qingyu's face. It was only when the old lady brought the child closer to him that he took a look.

He just took a glance and continued to help Su Qingyu wipe her hands.

In the following days, the news that Mr. Shen San had a son spread throughout the court, and Emperor Xuande even sent someone to give him rewards.

There was an endless stream of people who sent in invitations every day to visit and build relationships. However, apart from the relatives of the Shen family and a few families he was on good terms with, Shen Zhixiu did not meet anyone and did not accept any gifts.

Since Su Qingyu gave birth, Lin Wanyin and Shen Yue came almost every day. Su Zhilan and Hai Shi also came to visit every two days.

Su Shunci came here whenever she had free time and wished she could live in the Shen family.

That day she was standing by Su Qingyu's bed, teasing the baby on the bed, and it was obvious that she liked him very much.

The child was well behaved and didn't cry much. In the words of the old lady, she could tell that he was a calm child.

Shen Zhixiu named the child Shen Cong, and Su Shunci called him Cong'er all the time.

Su Qingyu also leaned sideways, supporting her head with one hand and holding the child's soft little hand with the other.

This was her son, her blood relative. But she still felt like she was dreaming, and it often seemed unreal.

The two sisters were chatting and teasing the child.

Zhenzhu suddenly came in and reported, "Madam, Miss Bai has brought gifts and is here to visit you."

Su Qingyu has not received any guests these days, only her family members come to visit from time to time.

When close relatives came to give gifts, it was Second Madam Yang who entertained them.

But Bai Youxin's status was special, so it was not easy to ask the Second Madam to receive her, nor was it easy to send her away casually.

Although the Lin and Bai families have not yet formally proposed, the marriage has been agreed upon.

Su Qingyu doesn't have to worry about the Bai family, but she always has to consider her third cousin's face.

While she was thinking about it, she heard Su Shunci say, "Big sister, let me help you entertain Miss Bai. After all, she is a guest from our mother's family, so she must come in and have a cup of tea."

However, Su Qingyu didn't want Su Shunci to go, for fear that it would make her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that she was about to say something, Su Shunci spoke up first, "After my third cousin gets married, can we still not have any contact? Besides, I've already let it go and I don't find it difficult."

She said that she had let it go, but only she knew how upset she was. She said this just to prevent Su Qingyu from worrying.

And she really thought so. With the relationship between the Lin family and Prince Ning's Mansion, and Lin Wuchen's help to her, they were bound to have contact and interaction.

Can she never see Bai Youxin again for the rest of her life?

Not only can she not avoid seeing her, but when they meet she has to call her third cousin.

Since this is the case, it is better to adapt as soon as possible.

Su Shunci remembered what Lin Wuchen had taught her: The best way to solve a problem is to face it head-on.

She agreed with this deeply. Just like this incident, she felt that she had seen Bai Youxin many times and had become numb to it, so this incident would pass.

Su Qingyu couldn't persuade Su Shunci, so she had to let her go.

Su Shunci then told Zhenzhu, "Please ask Miss Bai to go to the hall for tea. I'll be there soon."

Zhenzhu walked out quickly, and Su Shunci also stood up and went to the hall.

When they entered, Bai Youxin just sat down.

Su Shunci said politely, "Miss Bai, my elder sister is weak and it is really inconvenient for her to meet guests, so she asked me to come and talk to Miss Bai."

Bai Youxin stood up and said, "Mrs. Shen San is too polite. She is still in confinement, so her health is of course the most important thing."

She came here to fulfill her courtesy, and naturally knew that Mrs. Shen San would not see guests. She had planned to put her things down and go back, but she didn't expect to be welcomed into the inner courtyard for tea.

She felt more and more that this marriage was a good plan.

From Third Lady Shen's attitude towards her today, it can be seen how close the relationship between the Shen family and Lin Wuchen is.

Su Shunci motioned for her to sit down and asked someone to serve tea, and the two chatted politely.

They mostly talked about interesting business stories and some customs of the capital.

Bai Youxin didn't sit for long. After about a cup of tea, she stood up and said goodbye.

Su Shunci naturally had to see her out, and the two of them walked side by side towards the Chuihua Gate.

Not far away, a servant was holding a cage with two parrots with colorful feathers in it. Su Shunci thought they were beautiful and took a closer look.

When he turned around again, he saw Lin Wuchen walking towards him.

Su Shunci paused for a moment, then returned to normal in an instant.

Bai Youxin, who was standing next to him, naturally also saw Lin Wuchen, and the corners of her lips unconsciously rose.

When Lin Wuchen saw the two men walking out, he was also stunned and subconsciously looked at Su Shunci.

When the three of them were about to reach a place, the servant carrying the bird cage accidentally touched the lock on the cage for some reason.

As the lock opened, the door of the birdcage also opened.

One of the parrots seemed to be frightened and rushed out directly towards Su Shunci and Bai Youxin.
