With Xiao Wanyi nearing childbirth, the entire residence was on high alert, careful in every detail. Nanli also reduced her outings to avoid any sudden problems. Chu Ye was constantly by Xiao Wanyi's side to ensure her safety and that she didn't overhear anything she shouldn't.
Chu Shuo and Madam Qian, known for their practical approach, had already procured a variety of mountain delicacies, seafood, and tonic herbs to help Xiao Wanyi recover quickly after the birth. Chu Huan had planned to discuss a marriage arrangement, but with the imminent arrival of his nephew, he set those plans aside.
Chu Yang, who had been studying martial arts at the Flame Sect, had hurried back specifically to witness the birth of his first nephew and to have a chance to hold him.
Chu Yan was going about his usual routine at the academy when, on this particular day, the wheel of his carriage broke. The driver and servant were busy fixing it, leaving Chu Yan waiting by the roadside.
