The doctor felt strange witnessing such a sight. It was well known that Hou Yan didn't favour his wife who was the mockery of the noble.

"Come check him" Yan Chao Xiang orders

The doctor nods as he walks over to Lan Li Ling who didn't refuse, he didn't dare to be an inconvenience for Yan Chao Xiang.

The doctor carefully and thoroughly checks him, and after finishing the process he closes his eyes and looks at Yan Chao Xiang.

"His body is very weak and fragile from childbirth, it's a miracle he survived considering he is a gent. But I'd advise against having more children, his body cannot risk it, he should be getting lots of rest and eating lots more because he's very underweight." The doctor instructs thoroughly.

Yan Chao Xiang nodded in agreement when the baby on the bed began to cry.

"He must be hungry, I'll go feed hi-"

"No, rest. I'll feed him and have breakfast delivered to him, you go inform the cooks and bring the cow milk and bring my first son here, inform all the servants in his room to come and kneel outside."

Lan Li Ling wanted to stop him but Yan Chao Xiang who has mated many times has never met his own children and is curious about the little Dumpling and the meat bun. So he was okay, what's the point of having a hundred children but never meeting one? but having only two and spending happy times with them. So many children he didn't mind.

Lan Li Ling was nervous, he couldn't carry anymore children while that would be okay with him, Yan Chao Xiang probably wants more kids. He is a nobleman after all. He bites his lips, scared to think of the outcome for them, if he can't have more children Yan Chao Xiang might go for a mistress.

The only thing he had going for him was childbirth, he didn't have status, he didn't have a beautiful face or education. He was already being mocked and Lan Li Ling was already developing contempt towards him.

The physician smiles, it seems like Hou Yan has changed in his treatment of his wife, Lan Li Ling was wondering what to do and how to behave now. He can't anger Yan Chao Xiang.

"Master Yan" the maid bows before them with a tray of food and a bottle of milk.

He took the milk as the servant carefully gave the tray to Lan Li Ling.

"Mama"

Lan Li Ling smiles as he watches Xin Yong Nian run up to him smiling, his tummy grumbles and which puts Yan Chao Xiang in a bad mood.

"Meat bun," he said calmly.

Xin Yong Nian looks at Yan Chao Xiang meekly then sneaks over to him, Yan Chao Xiang at seeing the cute meatball smiles. "Have you eaten breakfast?"

Xin Yong Nian shakes his head, "sworry... NianNian's twummy makes bad nwoises"

Yan Chao Xiang smiles, he uses his right hand to carefully hold the bottle while feeding the baby as he holds him, he uses his free hand to gently pat his head. "It's okay NianNian is just hungry it's not bad"

"Hou Yan won't pwunish NianNian for bad noise"

"No, you have done nothing deserving of punishment"

Xin Yong Nian smiles happily, face flush with happiness, Yan Chao Xiang releases his head then goes back to feeding and slightly hushing the baby.

Lan Li Ling smiles as he shares the food with Xin Yong Nian, the mood was happy and pleasant. Eventually the good time must end.

Yan Chao Xiang rest the baby in his mother's arms, "wife"

"Yes!" Lan Li Ling answered, startled.

"How about you both go play in the yard, we shall change your rooms. This place is dirty and dusty," he said.

Lan Li Ling slowly nods, with a slight blush. Yan Chao looks at the servant. "Escort him well or be punish"

"Yes Master Yan" She said firmly.

After having his wife and children leave the premises, he went outside standing on the staircase looking at the servants who were on their knees sweating in the sun. He had almost forgotten about them. As a general who was a soldier, insubordination would result in harsh punishment but they were not soldiers, they were people. How do you punish people?

He focuses his gaze on them as they sweat, feeling miserable and terror from their gazes.

"Tell me, what makes you feel you have the authority to neglect my wife?" He asked numbly.

"Master Yan you misunderstood I sw- ACK!!"

With a whip placed in his hand by a servant he takes it and whips the servant across her back before she could finish. Her entire body fell to the floor stiffened and unmoving.

"Oops, too much"
