521 Dragon and Phoenix
Zhou Wenjing also cried.
The cries were not loud, but they were not weak either.
Su Xiaolu had already placed her hand on her stomach. The pain came again, and Zhou Wenjing felt like she was better off dead.
But it was a process that couldn’t be stopped. Her face was paler than a ghost’s.
She opened her mouth to scream because of the pain, but she could not make any sound.
When her body felt light, Zhou Wenjing was in a daze. She seemed to hear the maidservants crying before she lost consciousness.
The second child was a girl. One of her feet was purple. Su Xiaolu checked and realized that she was the one who had come out feet first.
She hit the baby girl until she cried and handed her to the maidservants to wash.
The door was pushed open. Sun Yangxin entered in a panic and knelt down by the bed with difficulty. He looked sad and two streams of tears flowed down his face.
Su Xiaolu washed her hands and came over. Seeing him cry silently, she said, “Lord Sun, the mother and the children are fine. Your wife just fell asleep from exhaustion.”
Su Xiaolu could tell that Sun Yangxin was very sad, but she could not understand why he was sad.
It was because he really liked Zhou Wenjing or something else.
Sun Yangxin didn’t hear clearly for a moment, so Su Xiaolu had no choice but to say again, “Lord Sun, congratulations. This pair of twins is a boy and a girl. Your wife is fine too. She just fell asleep from exhaustion. The two children are a little weak, but they’ll be fine if you raise them well.”
Only then did Sun Yangxin come back to his senses. He forced a smile and said, “Thank you, thank you, Xiaolu.”
Su Xiaolu waved her hand. “No need.”
Since they met, it was fate.
Seeing that Zhou Wenjing wasn’t bleeding profusely, Su Xiaolu took the needles and bade farewell.
Before she left, she told him where she lived. If there was anything, he could look for her in the next few days.
Sun Yangxin nodded and personally sent Su Xiaolu downstairs.
When Su Xiaolu returned, it was not time for Zhou Zhi to leave the medicinal bath yet. She smelled of blood, so she went to change her clothes.
After changing, she went to see Zhou Zhi. Zhou Zhi was sweating profusely. His sweat was black because of all the poisons. The poison this time was expelled from his pores, so every part of his body hurt.
Zhou Zhi’s face was also pale.
He still smiled at Su Xiaolu with difficulty. Su Xiaolu took out a medicine bottle and poured out the medicine. Zhou Zhi ate it. Su Xiaolu said, “This pain is uncontrollable. You can only endure it for a while longer. In your situation, you should be cleansed after four more detoxifications. Every subsequent time will be more painful than the previous one.”
Zhou Zhi forced a smile and said, “It’s okay, I can endure it.”
Zhou Zhi was indeed very good at endurance. This pain was no less than Zhou Wenjing giving birth. Zhou Wenjing was screaming her heart out, but he didn’t make a sound. If he wasn’t trembling, Su Xiaolu would have thought that he really didn’t feel any pain.
Su Xiaolu smiled and said, “Guess what I was doing just now. Let me tell you, I met Lord Sun, the former Minister of Rites. He and his wife were also soaking in the hot spring here. His wife had a difficult labor.”
Su Xiaolu told Zhou Zhi what had happened to divert his attention from the pain.
Zhou Zhi said, “Lord Sun was transferred to a small city in Huizhou. That small city is not far from Fengpo Platform. Did his wife give birth to a boy or a girl?”
“You’ll never guess. His wife was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. In the beginning, the girl’s feet came out first. I adjusted her fetal position, but the boy was born first. He went from a younger brother to an older brother.”
Su Xiaolu thought about it and found it interesting. She couldn’t help but smile.
Zhou Zhi also smiled. “Is that so? That’s really good.”
In an instant, he had a son and a daughter. Although the children were conceived by Zhou Wenjing through her schemes, if Sun Yangxin was really unwilling to stay after leaving the capital, he had plenty of ways.
“Xiaolu, what do you think Lord Sun’s attitude towards his wife is?”
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and asked.
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “I don’t know.”
Relationships were too complicated. She really didn’t know anything about it. It was so complicated that she didn’t want to think about it.
Zhou Zhi said gently, “It’s new acceptance and compensation.”
Su Xiaolu looked at Zhou Zhi seriously. She felt that Zhou Zhi seemed to have seen through everything. She asked, “What do you mean?”
“Lord Sun is an emotional person. Previously, he couldn’t let go of his missing fiancée, so he wouldn’t accept Zhou Wenjing. He turned a blind eye to Zhou Wenjing’s efforts over the past twenty years. However, after he completely let go of the past, he began to notice the people around him. Zhou Wenjing is a very good wife. She runs the family and is filial to Lord Sun’s mother. All these deeds can be noticed by Lord Sun. Perhaps he won’t fall in love with Zhou Wenjing so quickly, but he will try to accept her and make it up to her.”
“Speaking of which, if Madam Sun doesn’t change her mind, she should be able to get the result she wants.”
Zhou Zhi said slowly. His words were detailed and easy to understand. Su Xiaolu understood after hearing them.
“That’s good.”
Su Xiaolu smiled and said. Be it Sun Yangxin or Zhou Wenjing, they had worked hard during the twenty years of waiting. It was good that they could cultivate such an outcome.
One had to learn to let go.
This was all under the condition that Su Xiaoling was safe. She could let Zhou Wenjing off.
If Su Xiaoling was hurt because of this, it would not be the same. No matter what the past was, she only cared about her family.
This time, it was up to her whether to save her or not.
She chose to save her on the premise that she did not go against her beliefs. Old Wu had taught her that she could do whatever she wanted. This was the tradition for the Minggu Medical Valley. In her previous life, her Master had taught her to accumulate virtue, kindness, and let go. She had also followed her heart and had always done this, only seeking a clear conscience.
That year, she made a promise to save a hundred evil people.
Madam Tang was the first, and Zhou Wenjing was the second.
She had already tasted the consequences of Madam Tang’s evil deeds. What Zhou Wenjing would suffer in the future was still up to her.
The past was in the past. If she did not understand, she would have to suffer the consequences of her own actions.
Zhou Zhi looked at Su Xiaolu and smiled. “Xiaolu is so kind.”
Su Xiaolu smiled. Was she kind? She didn’t think she was that kind, but she was still very happy to be praised. She smiled at Zhou Zhi. “Thank you. You’re very kind too.”
Zhou Zhi felt that she was kind. She felt that Zhou Zhi was the real kind one.
Zhou Zhi lowered his eyes. His lips moved but no sound came out. Actually, he wasn’t kind. His heart had long turned black.
Looking at Su Xiaolu’s bright eyes, he smiled. This was exactly what he wanted. He wanted her to think that he was a good person. Now, she believed most of it.
After four hours of the medicinal bath, Zhou Zhi could wash up and rest. He did not have much of an appetite, so he picked up food for Su Xiaolu during dinner. Su Xiaolu smiled until her eyes curved. She said, “This is delicious. Try it.”
Zhou Zhi looked at her smile and found it difficult to resist. He ate some of the delicious dishes that Su Xiaolu had mentioned and did not touch the rest.
