Grandma Lu sat by the bedside, smiling at Zhou Qiao.
Zhou Qiao was covered in sweat, looking slightly uneasy. "Grandmother, the baby..."
"The baby is doing well." Grandma Lu knew what she was thinking. Li Shi had sought secret methods for conceiving a son, which must have put pressure on Zhou Qiao. In these times, having a boy as the first child was always good for a mother.
But Grandma Lu didn't mind that. She patted Zhou Qiao's hand and whispered, "Your mother-in-law just carried the baby out for everyone to see. The baby looks beautiful, resembling Da Niu, but the mouth looks particularly like you, very attractive. She will definitely be a pretty little girl in the future."
As she spoke, she took out a red envelope from her pocket. "Here, this is for you. You've worked hard giving birth to a child, so use this money to buy something you want and treat yourself. I've prepared a separate gift for the baby."
Zhou Qiao was taken aback and wanted to refuse, "No, Grandmother, I can't accept this."
"Take it. If you refuse, I won't be happy."
Zhou Qiao looked at Da Niu, who nodded, "It's Grandmother's heartfelt gift, just accept it."
"Thank you, Grandmother."
Grandma Lu smiled, "Alright, you've just given birth to a child, and you must be tired. Ah Yu will have someone bring you food later. After you've eaten, rest first, and if there's anything uncomfortable, tell Da Niu."
"Okay."
Grandma Lu didn't say much and soon got up and left.
As she turned around, she added, "Your mother-in-law seemed to really like the baby when she held her just now. She just has a sharp tongue, don't take it to heart, take good care of yourself during the postpartum month."
Zhou Qiao's eyes were slightly moist as she watched Grandma Lu leave, tightly clutching the red envelope in her hand.
When there was no one around, she looked inside the red envelope and found there were ten liang of silver notes. Even Da Niu was surprised.
He knew that Grandma Lu was currently well-off, but it was still not easy for her to take out ten liang of silver all at once.
After the elderly lady left, she happened to see the servant bringing in the food. She then had Li Shi, who was still showing off, carry the baby inside to avoid the cold outside as the weather was not very warm.
Shu Yu was about to ask about Zhou Qiao's condition when Ying Xi hurriedly came over, "Miss, someone from the county government has arrived."
"County government?" Shu Yu was stunned.
Ying Xi nodded and said in a low voice, "It's Master Hu. Around noon today, the street was particularly lively, and the lord personally came out to welcome the visitor."
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "Is it the official announcing the decree and...the palace procurators?"
"According to Master Hu's meaning, it seems like it."
Shu Yu's face showed joy and turned to, "Grandmother, I'll go over for a while."
Grandma Lu also heard what Ying Xi said. She knew about the situation with the sunflower oil being noticed by the palace. Now that she heard Shu Yu's words, she quickly nodded, "Go ahead, go ahead. Ah, it's really a double happiness today."
Shu Yu hurried to the front hall. Hu Li must have heard about the commotion in the backyard, so when he saw Shu Yu coming over, he quickly got up and smiled, bowing his hand, "Congratulations, congratulations. The mansion has gained another precious daughter. The Lu family's eldest son is now a father."
Shu Yu politely waved her hand and asked eagerly, "Is it the palace procurators who came with the official announcing the decree?"
"Yes, but it's not just ordinary palace procurators. It's...Master Qi."
"Master Qi?" Who is that?
Hu Li explained Master Qi's background.
