Chapter 2035: Chapter 17: A Place to Settle

It’s really Wufu.

Lady Liang was completely stunned, she took two steps forward, grabbed her hand and looked her up and down a few times: "What happened to you? Why are you so disheveled?"

She married into the Old Zhou family a few years ago. Although she didn’t see Wufu often, whenever she did, Wufu was always radiant. Even when she was poor, she never seemed embarrassed or disheveled, unlike now.

Her face was sallow with a tinge of green and white, wrapped in something emitting a faint fishy smell, hair disheveled, and there were two scratches on her face.

Just as Wufu was about to reply, the Little Bun, who was carried by Xiao Qi, suddenly let out a cry, and she quickly looked over.

Lady Liang followed her gaze but couldn’t see anything. The young man carrying the bundle in his arms was very wary and took a step back.

"Xiao Qi, don’t be afraid, I’m your aunt," Wufu said to comfort him, then to Lady Liang, "These are my people, and this..."

She pointed to the bundle in Xiao Qi’s arms, saying, "My son, just a few days old."

Lady Liang’s eyes widened. Wufu’s son, just born, then looked at her clothes, wondering if she just gave birth? How did she end up like this? Wasn’t it said that she married well? The husband was supposedly a dignified prince?

"Wufu, you are..."

"Second Son’s Wife, who is it?" From inside, came the voice of an old woman asking.

"Mother, it’s Wufu," Lady Liang quickly turned around and responded.

The old woman paused her steps at the door upon hearing this, looked out, and her eyes revealed undisguised surprise, especially seeing her disheveled state, and her heart was even more shocked.

In just a few short years, Old Lady Zhou’s hair had turned completely white, now elderly and frail. Wufu pursed her lips and gave a shallow curtsy.

The gaze of Old Lady Zhou was complex, but diverted by the child’s cries. She scrutinized for a moment and said, "It’s getting dark, stop talking at the door, come in."

"Yes, yes, look at me, quickly come in," Lady Liang stepped forward to personally support Wufu inside, and instructed the dumbfounded dark-faced maid, "Tantan, quickly go and tell your mother to boil a big pot of hot water."

"Ah, oh." Tantan quickly ran inside.

Once inside, Wufu untied the bundle from Xiao Qi, looked at Lady Liang and said, "He must be hungry."

"Then you..."

Now there were no other men inside, Wufu had Xiao Qi leave, and she turned her back to Lady Liang and Old Lady Zhou, skillfully started to nurse.

With food, the baby’s cries suddenly stopped.

Lady Liang and Old Lady Zhou exchanged a glance, both still somewhat stunned and bewildered.

However, in just a moment, the child began crying again, Lady Liang rushed over and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Wufu was also a bit anxious, she looked at Lady Liang with a bitter smile: "I, I might not have enough milk."

The baby was growing day by day, naturally needing more food, but Wufu had given birth only days ago and under such harsh conditions, surviving was already a miracle, let alone receiving any good nutritional supplements to promote lactation.

With insufficient milk, he couldn’t fill his stomach, which naturally led to crying.

Lady Liang took this opportunity to see the Little Bun, and he appeared thin and fragile like a little monkey, exclaiming: "How is he so small?"

He seemed premature.

"He’s a Seven Stars," Wufu said with a bitter smile, but pushed him closer to her chest, yet the child couldn’t suck out anything.

"What?" Lady Liang was shocked again, her gaze instantly filled with sympathy, what had this mother and child been through?

Seeing the sympathy in her eyes, Wufu felt a warmth in her heart and cracked a dry smile.

"Stop standing there, Second Son’s Wife, you have plenty of milk, give him some," Old Lady Zhou spoke up at this moment.
