Chapter 496: Even in Antiquity One Can Enjoy Postpartum Confinement

Ashu arrived, and Ying naturally knew what was happening; the smile at his mouth gradually faded. "Qinghuan, I'm going out to take care of something. You rest well first; give the child to me."

"No need, you go ahead; I'll take the baby back."

Here, after seeing Ying leave, Nan Qinghuan, holding the baby, also understood what he was going to do; looking at Ying's expression, could something have happened? She didn't have time to think further, and her gaze softened as she looked at the child before her, who was full and asleep, sleeping very quietly.

In this moment, she truly felt what a mother‑child bond is like; when she gave birth to this child she had even wanted to die, the natural delivery was like having her ribs broken, the pain almost drove her to death, but now this little bundle is in her hands, and its warmth makes her feel.

Everything is worth it.

"Qinghuan"

From outside came A Mu's voice; she pushed the door in very cautiously, and it was clear that, now that there was a baby in the house, A Mu was even more careful.

"Axi and Jiguang have come to see you."

"A Mu, could you please take the baby away? She's asleep."

"Has she eaten?"

A Mu worried the baby might not be full; after all, there are two children, and she had already arranged milk, but she feared it might not be enough. Qinghuan's body is weak and her milk is scarce, so figuring out how to keep both babies fed is her top priority. Adults can go hungry, but Ying's child must be well fed.

Nan Qinghuan, knowing A Mu's concern, nodded, "He's full; take him to rest. What about the older one?"

"He's already asleep."

"Qinghuan"

Outside, Jiguang and the heavily‑pregnant Axi also walked toward her. Jiguang smiled brightly at her, "You're handling Postpartum Confinement quite well; your man really lets you stay in bed."

"Thank you, Jiguang."

Seeing Jiguang again, Nan Qinghuan felt very grateful and wanted to thank her.

Jiguang smiled and waved her hand, "Why thank me? You still have to rely on yourself. Besides, even though your constitution is poor, I think you must have eaten something, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to bear this child."

"What did you eat?"

Hearing that, Axi seemed to recall something, "Could it be the treasure that Rongdi gave?"

She remembered that Rongdi had personally come to give a treasure to Qinghuan to eat, and after that Qinghuan's health improved; could that thing have worked? Nan Qinghuan seemed to recall, and indeed, that ancient thing was truly useful.

Jiguang, however, didn't know what Rongdi had given Nan Qinghuan, "What thing?"

Axi was about to speak when Nan Qinghuan hurriedly stopped her, "Enough, that's all in the past; don't ask. How are things outside now? I just heard Ashu came looking for Ying—what's the matter?"

Jiguang, realizing she couldn't stay idle even during Postpartum Confinement, replied, "Nothing, just some trivial matters. Hey, let me tell you, the children here are especially clever. I thought they lacked a foundation and would be hard to teach, but they're so smart—five‑year‑olds can quickly learn their own names. Nan Qinghuan, I think things here are about to change, right?"

"Change into what?"

Axi also wanted to know what would change, but Jiguang only smiled, "Alright, once people gain knowledge you know what changes. By the way, any discomfort? Let me check for you."

Nan Qinghuan didn't feel any discomfort, and Axi, seeing her condition so good, also looked forward to her own offspring being born.

"Qinghuan, Jiguang's medical skill is truly excellent; both babies were delivered. In the future, for my child, can I have Jiguang help?"

Axi wanted Jiguang's help, and as Nan Qinghuan was about to say something, Jiguang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, it's on me. You're from here, your physique is good, you'll definitely give birth, and the fetal position I saw is very proper; this child will be easy to deliver."

No kidding, after coming here, Jiguang thought ancient women truly had great bodies; they gave birth as easily as laying eggs. Seeing Nan Qinghuan nearly lose half her life, she also worried for herself.

Although this body is tall and robust, … "Thank you, then I'm relieved."

Axi and Nan Qinghuan discussed their plans to develop the Na Shan Tribe, turning it into farmland so that in the future the area would be full of granaries.

However, Nan Qinghuan also heard bad news: the Beast Taming Tribe seemed to be stirring lately.

Nan Qinghuan thought of the tribe member she had let go, Xiao Ya; could something be wrong there? It shouldn't be!

"Nan Qinghuan, you still need to be cautious with this tribe. Even though you can tame beasts, if they attack now while you're in Postpartum Confinement you won't be able to help us. Think about it; we'd be very vulnerable then."

Jiguang voiced her concerns; she indeed feared the Beast Taming Tribe would cause trouble. Previously she had planned to wipe this place out and turn it into a Giant Tribe settlement, but ever since she met Rongdi and married him, she now wants to be Rongdi's little woman and stay here to live together.

She will still manage her tribe; the authority cannot fall into others' hands.

Hearing Jiguang's words, Nan Qinghuan took a deep breath, her expression complex as she glanced at her, "Don't worry, I'll recover soon. As for you, you just mentioned the Baiqi Tribe—what kind of tribe is that?"

Jiguang thought for a moment, then decided to tell Nan Qinghuan what Rongdi had told her that night: how could Ying's mother worship the A Luo deity? "Qinghuan, is Ying's mother a native of this place?"

Hearing that, Qinghuan naturally didn't understand, and Jiguang asked what it meant: "I heard A Mu has always been a person of the Ying Tribe; what's the matter, Jiguang?"

Jiguang glanced at Axi; realizing she had something to say, Axi smartly stood up, "I'll step out first; you continue talking."

Axi now felt upset because she thought that after Nan Qinghuan made Jiguang her friend, she had been neglected, but she couldn't harbor resentment, since she truly couldn't help them with anything and would only cause trouble.

"Axi…"

Nan Qinghuan, understanding her thoughts, smiled, "Many people outside brought some meat to our house and we can't finish it. Go get some and bring it back; you're so thin, you need to eat more so the baby can develop properly, understand?"
