Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ying Qin was adding fuel to the fire in the stove room when Ying Zhong carried the teapot in to heat up the water. When he saw his sister, he couldn’t help but mutter to her, “Master never hesitated to drink the medicine every time. That contraceptive soup was prescribed by the famous doctor in town. 1 heard that it hasn’t gone wrong for decades. In that case, is it Madam—”
“Quickly slap your mouth!” When Ying Qin heard this, he almost brought out the sparks from the stove. “Have you forgotten how you were reprimanded by our previous Master previously? Don’t think that just because our Master is kind now, you can speak nonsense. Do you still remember who our biggest Master is?”
Ying Zhong felt as if he had been hit in the head and said in a daze, “It’s Village Lord Yu…”
“Village Lord Yu’s fiance is the Young Master of Duke Yong Manor. Which one of us siblings can afford to offend him? Our Master looks friendly, but that’s because you didn’t provoke him. If our Master heard this just now, even if he couldn’t bear to beat you up, he definitely wouldn’t dare to continue using you. He would send you far away. Then, would you still have a good life?” Ying Qin said earnestly.
All the servants who were despised by the main family, especially those who were sent back, did not end up well.
Ying Zhong knew this better than anyone.
When he heard this, his face immediately turned pale. He knew that he had said something he shouldn’t have.
“Big Sister is right. I was possessed just now. You mustn’t let Master and Madam know.” Ying Zhong put the boiling water into the teapot and hurriedly went out to make tea for Yang Qisheng again.
Ying Qin looked at her Little Brother’s back and shook her head, planning to teach him a lesson in private.
In her opinion, the four brothers of the w.a.n.g Family were a rare united force. Although the Third Master did not have much status and was just a restaurant owner that others did not think highly of, his family had three sons. One followed King Xiaoyao, and the other two studied in a famous academy in Wanning City. Which one of them did not have a limitless future?
If they wanted to follow such a family, it would be best for them to do things properly. She did not want to ruin their future because of a moment of carelessness.
As she thought, Ying Qin looked at the few tonics she had taken out of the storeroom. She patted her dusty clothes and wrapped the herbs carefully with a handkerchief. Then, she also went to the reception pavilion, planning to consult that doctor to see what tonic soup was better for Madam at this time.
She didn’t care about the future or not. She only knew that the family was kind. As servants, they should play their part well.
On the other side, w.a.n.g Chuanyuan and his wife were still thinking hard about the logic of this matter. Fortunately, Madam Zhang regained her rationality. Thinking that there was still a doctor waiting, she hurriedly urged w.a.n.g Chuanyuan to talk to him.
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan asked Ying Zhong to wrap a few silver ingots for him. This was already completely beyond the price for an ordinary doctor.
Yang Qisheng glanced at it casually and accepted it. He then added to w.a.n.g Chuanyuan, “Boss w.a.n.g, if you both intend to keep the child, you must be careful of Madam’s condition. Her health seems fine on ordinary days, but if she’s carrying twins, she could become overly bloated. If she does not supplement her diet properly during pregnancy with twins, it could potentially affect her in the long term.”
He said it vaguely, but w.a.n.g Chuanyuan still understood. “What? My wife will be in danger?”
“Your wife is already in her thirties and can’t compare to ordinary young women. There’s naturally a risk.” Yang Qisheng cupped his hands at w.a.n.g Chuanyuan. “I only have a professional opinion. Boss w.a.n.g, you can look for an experienced doctor to take a look after dawn. I’m tired. I’ll take my leave now.”
Yang Qisheng added, “By the way, I’m staying at the Nanhe Inn next to your w.a.n.g Family Restaurant. If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll stay there for three to five days. If you have anything else, you can look for me at the Nanhe Inn.”
“Thank you, Doctor Yang.”
“No problem.”
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan asked Ying Zhong to send him to the Nanhe Inn, and he went back to pa.s.s on his words to Madam Zhang. “In my opinion, it’s better not to keep this child. Firstly, we already have three children of our own, and they’re almost old enough to start their own families. There’s no need to have another one. Secondly, these are twins. When you were pregnant with Liulang and Qilang, there were several occasions where you almost lost your life. 1 dare not take that risk.”
Madam Zhang was very conflicted and did not speak for a long time.
“What do you think?”
“Husband—” Madam Zhang’s voice trembled slightly with indescribable fear. “The doctor said that the baby might be more than one and a half months old. There’s a belief that if a family member’s soul doesn’t wish to enter the underworld after death, after forty-nine days, they might be reborn into the original family.”
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan did not understand what his wife meant. “What are you trying to say?”
“Do you still remember that when I really started having nightmares, it wasn’t just one or two days ago, but more than a month ago? If 1 count it seriously, isn’t it exactly 49 days?” The more Madam Zhang spoke, the more afraid she became. Even her voice trembled. “Do you think one of the twins is our Wulang?”
After saying this, Madam Zhang felt a sharp pain in her heart as tears flowed out. She held her stomach with one hand and her chest with the other and fell into w.a.n.g Chuanyuan’s arms. She cried and shouted, “Wulang, this is my Wulang. 1 can’t leave them behind!”
w.a.n.g Chuanyuan:”…” Why did these words sound so wrong?
He suddenly remembered that his wife’s pregnancy had also been so magical..
