Chapter 284 Battle Exploits
Su Yaoguang looked at him coldly: "Want to die? You've done so many bad things, how could I let you die? I haven't had enough fun yet! One day when I don't want to play anymore, when I'm tired of playing, I'll give you a release. But right now, you don't deserve a release. Xiao Yanci, I truly regret saving you in my past life. If I hadn't saved you, you ungrateful wretch, my mother wouldn't have suffered so much with me, and she wouldn't have died at your hands in the end."

“Did you see that? In this life, I made different choices, and everything is different now. All the misfortunes my mother and I have suffered are because of you. If it weren’t for you, my mother would have met my father in her past life. My father wouldn’t have ended up depressed and died without regaining his memory or remembering his wife and daughter. Xiao Yanci, you are a demon, you should have died long ago.”

“No matter what, we were husband and wife, and you loved me... You were even willing to die for me back then... How could you bear to do this to me?” Xiao Yanci looked at Su Yaoguang.

Even at this critical juncture, he was still trying to bewitch Su Yaoguang and soften her heart.

However, Su Yaoguang now only feels hatred towards him, an endless and persistent hatred.

If her misfortune was because she was blind, then what about her mother? What did her mother do wrong? She could not forgive Xiao Yanci for harming her mother.

“Listen to me, change his torture every day, let him know what it’s like to be worse than dead,” Su Yaoguang sneered. “But don’t let him die.”

Su Rende led his troops into enemy territory, and Su Yaoguang and Zhang Zhaodi waited for his triumphant return at the general's mansion.

Several months later, Zhang Zhaodi started her pregnancy.

It rained heavily that day, and the sand and dust along the entire border were washed away by the rain.

Amidst the rumbling thunder, Zhang Zhaodi's cries continued for a long time.

Su Yaoguang stayed with her in the room the whole time, holding her hand and watching her reaction nervously.

"Midwife, how is my mother?"

"Don't worry, Miss, Madam is perfectly fine. Childbirth is like this; it doesn't happen that quickly. Just wait a little longer."

"Mother, don't be nervous," Su Yaoguang said.

Zhang Zhaodi said weakly, "Silly child, you're the one who's nervous. I'm not nervous. I've been through this before, and I know that childbirth isn't that quick."

Su Yaoguang then asked the midwife, "Do you want me to get my mother something to eat?"

“That’s fine,” the midwife said. “The lady probably won’t give birth so soon, so eating something will help her regain her strength.”

A servant brought food, and Su Yaoguang fed Zhang Zhaodi half a bowl before waiting there.

"Ah..." Zhang Zhaodi's pains came in waves, growing more and more intense. "Midwife, I'm going into labor..."

A commotion arose outside, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps rushing over.

Bang! Su Rende, clad in full armor, pushed open the door and entered.

"Oh my god, General, please don't come in!" the midwife hurriedly stopped her. "You're covered in blood and have been running around outside. You're not clean. Don't disturb the mother in labor."

"If I've washed myself clean and changed into clean clothes, can I come in?" Su Rende's eyes were red as he anxiously looked in Zhang Zhaodi's direction.

Zhang Zhaodi's cries grew louder and louder.

She heard Su Rende's voice, and despite the pain, she shouted with all her might, "Go and rest, I don't need you here, ah..."

“My lady, you are suffering for me, how can I rest? I’m back, and I won’t leave again, never again. We’ve conquered the enemy’s territory, and there will be no more wars,” Su Rende said. “Father, go wash up and change your clothes first. I’ll stay here with you,” Su Yaoguang urged.

"Okay, I'll be back soon."

Su Rende said he would be there very quickly; he took a shower, changed his clothes, and rushed over with his hair still wet. He squatted down beside Zhang Zhaodi's bed and held her hand tightly.

With a forceful effort, Zhang Zhaodi's cry pierced the air above the General's Mansion.

"It's a boy! Congratulations, General! Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Miss! It's a boy!" the midwife said happily.

Su Rende asked the doctor beside him, "Let's check on the lady first."

The doctor took Zhang Zhaodi's pulse and said, "General, rest assured, Madam has taken good care of her health over the years. Now that she has successfully given birth to a son, she only needs to take good care of herself."

“I told you I was fine and there was no need to be so nervous,” Zhang Zhaodi said. “Yaoguang took very good care of me, and I didn’t suffer much. Later, I met Jing’er. Although she was young, her medical skills were really good. I often drank the Chinese medicine she prepared, which is how I became strong and healthy.”

"The child is very healthy," the doctor continued. "Congratulations, General, on this double blessing."

The so-called double happiness is twofold: the first is a great victory, and the second is the joy of having a son.

"This child was born when I won the battle and destroyed the enemy country, so let's name him Yunji, how about Su Yunji?"

"This name sounds nice. Dad, you've got a knack for naming people!" Su Yaoguang teased him.

"Alright, stop bothering your mother, she needs to rest now," Su Rende said. "Leave the child with the wet nurse."

"Mother, I'm going back now. If you need to find me, tell them to come and get me."

"Mom just wants to rest now and won't bother you. You've been worried sick with me for months, but now you can relax and get some rest!"

Even with several doctors by her side, Su Yaoguang wasn't as calm as she appeared when Zhang Zhaodi became pregnant and gave birth at her age. She had been inquiring about the risks of advanced maternal age and what precautions to take. As Zhang Zhaodi's due date drew closer, Su Yaoguang became increasingly anxious.

Now I can finally let it go.

"Father, now that we've won the battle, shouldn't we prepare to return to the capital?"

“That was originally the plan, but your mother has just given birth and the child is too young to travel. I plan to write a letter to the Emperor and ask him to send someone to handle the affairs of the neighboring country. If I’m not mistaken, after the two countries merge, the Emperor will probably have to choose a new capital. We just need to wait for news and see where the Emperor chooses, and then we can meet up. Going there now would mean another trip.”

“I miss Wangshu and want to return to the capital as soon as possible,” Su Yaoguang said. “The Emperor will be moving the capital, and we need to make some arrangements at Taoyaofang. I have to go back to take charge of the overall situation.”

"That's easy. I'll send a group of men to you. They'll be returning to the capital to report back, and you can go back to the capital to find your son-in-law. When do you plan to leave?"

"Let's wait another half month. Now that the neighboring country is also within our territory, I plan to buy some animal skins to sell back home. I'm sure I can get a good price for them."

“Alright. You can spend these two weeks with your mother and brother,” Su Rende said. “Our whole family will reunite in Xindu.”

"Father, it's so good that you've regained your memory," Su Yaoguang said.
