Chapter 443: He Will Give Way
This action surprised Lin Rusi and the wet nurse, who then reached out to take the child.
Li Jingyang naturally wouldn't let her hold anyone else, so he directly placed Changning in the wet nurse's arms and turned over to tidy up the person's clothes.
"lady……"
Hearing the wet nurse's trembling voice from outside the door, Lin Rusi pushed people aside and walked to the door.
"What's wrong? You just said there was no need to hide it like that."
Having received Lin Rusi's consent, she was about to speak without hesitation, but the first sound she uttered was abruptly cut off by the figure that followed.
Noticing this, Lin Rusi pushed the person away without any hesitation.
"Madam, children do tend to be more attached to their mothers, and having had breast milk today, they may be even less likely to accept other types of milk, so..."
"Then let's skip a few meals. Didn't we just drink some?"
Both of them paused upon hearing Li Jingyang's words.
Lin Rusi was even more direct, hugging the child tightly to her chest and staring at him warily.
Li Jingyang was deeply hurt, never expecting that simply refusing to put her in a difficult position would elicit such an expression from her.
She reached out and pulled the two children into the room, then used her long legs to flip over and close the door, preventing anyone outside from seeing what was happening inside.
"You were reminiscing about the past with me before, but now you won't let me be close to the children?"
"I didn't mean that. It's just that you were sore all over after feeding you just now. If I had to get up every two hours to feed you myself, how could you stand it?"
"Why can't we try? You clearly don't want the child to be close to me and you want to monopolize me. You're so selfish."
Is he selfish?
Looking at the ever-growing Changning, Li Jingyang still wanted to reach out and snatch his son away so that Lin Rusi could rest for a while.
But she thought they were going to take the child away again, so she suddenly took a step back to increase the distance between them.
Already somewhat dissatisfied due to Lin Rusi's misunderstanding, this deliberate avoidance only fueled his anger.
Even so, Li Jingyang couldn't bear to lose his temper with her, so he could only turn around and storm out.
The loud slamming of the door startled Changning, who was asleep.
Lin Rusi naturally didn't go looking for Li Jingyang, but instead lowered her eyes and gently patted the child's soft back.
By the time I finally got him to fall asleep, he had already disappeared.
"He's clearly my child, why treat him like an enemy?"
"Madam, I heard from the servants that you and the Crown Prince had a quarrel?"
Lin Rusi glanced at Liu Ying, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further, and then turned her gaze back to the child.
Without hearing her speak, Liu Ying knew that the two had indeed quarreled, but she didn't know the reason for the quarrel.
Lin Rusi had no intention of speaking, which worried him, but thinking about the reason why the two often quarreled, he couldn't help but look at the extra young master.
"You two were arguing because of this young master Changning?"
"As Xiao Changning's mother, how can I not even raise him myself? And he won't drink my breast milk. Am I just going to watch him starve to death?"
“How can you think like that, Madam? Perhaps the Crown Prince doesn’t want you to work too hard for other reasons.”
Overworked?
If you can't even raise your own child, what kind of mother are you?
Lin Rusi wanted to wave her hand to shoo the person away, but as soon as she raised her hand, another small hand enveloped her little finger.
“Look, if the wet nurse had been with me, I would have been able to see this.”
“What you say is true, but you haven’t fully recovered yet, and the young master does indeed get up at night frequently, and even cries incessantly at night…”
Lin Rusi was aware of all these voices, but she still wanted to keep the child by her side.
Even if you can't keep the child indefinitely, trying it for a couple of days might help you get used to it and be able to keep the child by your side more easily.
“Look at him, he doesn’t look like someone who would get up at night at all. He’s just making a fuss because he’s insecure.”
"What is a sense of security? Can't the guards in the manor protect the young master?"
Upon hearing this question, Lin Rusi patted Changning's back to make him more comfortable in her arms, and then took the blanket and covered him with it.
When Liu Ying could no longer contain herself, she finally spoke up to explain.
"Just like when you were a child, the first person you thought of after seeing or hearing something scary was someone who could give you that sense of security."
"But I've never felt this fear since I can remember. Is it a problem with me?"
Lin Rusi looked up at Liu Ying and saw that there was no sadness in her eyes, only confusion. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to explain.
"This is not a problem, but rather it shows that you are bold enough and courageous, which is a good thing."
"Thank you for the compliment, Madam."
But she hadn't forgotten the argument between the two of them.
While past arguments have indeed resembled this, they have never lasted this long.
On any other day, Li Jingyang would have already returned to coax Lin Rusi.
Liu Ying couldn't help but look up outside, hoping to find that familiar figure, when she heard a soft laugh behind her.
Are you that worried about him and me?
"They've never argued this fiercely before."
When Lin Rusi heard her say those words so earnestly, her smile widened again.
Having stayed by their side for a while, she immediately understood the meaning and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that this time is not much different from before, and their relationship will only get better once they calm down.
"I'm afraid the master will still put up with you."
"That's hard to say, he slammed the door today."
They need to hold out for at least a few days before they compromise.
Both of them thought the same thing, and then silently looked away, glancing at Changning, who was still sleeping soundly but had ruined their relationship.
Two days later.
Li Jingyang looked at Changning, who was still lying in Lin Rusi's arms, his brows furrowed. Several times he tried to reach out and throw him away, but his other hand held him back.
"He's just a child."
How have you been feeling these past two days?
Upon hearing this question, Lin Rusi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
After all, Li Jingyang had already lowered his guard, so it would be too much to continue to be ungrateful. She immediately put on a smile for him.
"It's alright, just that he doesn't sleep much, but he's not as fussy as the baby when he's cared for by a wet nurse."
Although that's what she said, Li Jingyang noticed the dark circles under her eyes and couldn't help but reach out to touch them.
But before I could even touch it, it was blocked from touching my skin by a tiny hand that was no bigger than the palm of my hand.
He must have mastered the strength in the past few days, because he carefully touched Lin Rusi's cheek with his fingers, and then grinned and teased his mother in front of him.
Before long, the two of them, one big and one small, were laughing and rolling around on the bed.
This action made Li Jingyang, who hadn't touched his wife for two days, redden his eyes and made him wish he could just throw the child who looked five-tenths like him out.
