Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea. Should she throw the reason for making new dishes to Father in the future? That was a good idea! However, she still had to find a way to make up for it so that she wouldnât be exposed. âYes, yes. Iâve learned a lot of dishes recently! Aiyo, the recipes I obtained by chance in the past can be taken back to ask Father for guidance.
âSo we can make more new dishes in the future.
County Magistrate Shen looked forward to it even more than she did. He educated his son. âLook, studying is so useful. You are complaining about being tired now, but you donât know how many people in the world want to study but donât have the chance.â
It made sense, but Shen Tianci did not listen. Instead, Xiaoxiao touched her chin, making his hair stand on end.
Rong Yan scooped a bowl of soup for Xiaoxiao and interrupted her gaze. Shen Tianci cupped his hands gratefully.
Xiaoxiao finished the soup and asked Rong Yan, âCan you contact Dean Lu?â
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows. âLooking for your Eldest Brother?â Xiaoxiao shook her head and straightened her expression. âIâm looking for the Dean for something serious.â
Coincidentally, the newly-weds came over to toast. Ning Anhuiâs face was flushed. He drank a glass before saying anything.
âSister, I know you donât like us thanking you, but itâs indeed because of you that Older Brother and Father are where we are today. I donât want to thank you, but as long as I am around, as long as you ask, I, Ning Anhui, will do anything!â
âAlthough I donât have any achievements or power, if anyone bullies you, I will protect you even if I have to risk my life!
Xiaoxiao kicked him. âItâs a big day. What are you talking about!â Be careful that the bride will scratch your face at night!
Ning Anhui scratched his head. âHehehe, thatâs what Jiaoâer meant too. However, she canât come out now, so she asked me to pass a message to you.â
Xiaoxiao:⦠Iâm convinced, really. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In order to prevent the drunk groom from saying anything shocking, Xiaoxiao quickly sent him to the bridal chamber. Ning Fengnian and Madam Song watched from the side and found it funny. As they smiled, Madam Song suddenly froze.
Xiaoxiao had a premonition. âMother?â
Madam Song took a deep breath and acted quite calm. âBoil some hot water. Iâm going to give birth.â
This was the first time Xiaoxiao had seen such a calm pregnant woman. Oh, in fact, she had never seen such a calm woman before.
in short, Xiaoxiao did whatever Madam Song said. As an experienced pregnant woman, Madam Song had already prepared all the supplies at home. The midwife was also staying in the guest room, so in less than five minutes, everyone was in position and waiting to start.
At this moment, Madam Song grabbed Xiaoxiaoâs hand.
âPromise me that youâll choose the child.â
Xiaoxiao was between laughter and tears. âMother, what are you talking about!â
Madam Song sighed. âIâm not stupid. Youâve been so careful with me these past few days. It must be because thereâs something wrong with the child. I have sons and a daughter in my life. Itâs enough for me that my husband and I are harmonious, safe, and happy. But this child is different. He hasnât had a chance to see the world yet.â
Xiaoxiao wanted to speak, but she was interrupted by Madam Song. âI know that be it the childâs father or Erlang, they will definitely prioritize me, but Iâm a mother. I canât do it. Xiaoxiao, I want you to promise me to protect my child.â Xiaoxiao finally found an opportunity to speak. âMother, youâre really thinking
too much.â
She had no choice but to tell Madam Song the real reason. Madam Songâs calmness just now was gone. She was a little stunned. âTwo? Youâre saying that Iâm pregnant with twins?â
Xiaoxiao nodded and she came to a realization. âI was wondering why my appetite was so big this time.â
Xiaoxiao did not refute and only said to her, âI didnât tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried, not to let your imagination run wild. Anyway, itâs time to give birth now. Mother, just relax and work hard.â
Madam Song was angry and amused. âHave you given birth before, or have I? Hurry up and get out. Youâre a young lady who hasnât reached adulthood yet. Donât stay here. Itâs unlucky.â
Xiaoxiao disagreed. âThis is every motherâs greatest moment. How can you say that itâs unlucky!â
However, she was a little in the way. Xiaoxiao decided to be obedient. However, just as she got up, she heard Madam Song exclaim. Xiaoxiao turned around instinctively to support Madam Song. At the same time, she looked at her suddenly pale face.
The space dinged: [Master, these two children are not in the right position.] Gongsun Zhongjing was waiting outside the door. Ning Fengnian doted on his wife and was asking him to help if anything happened. Compared to that âman and woman shouldnât touch each otherâ, he only wanted his wife and children to be safe.
âIf⦠well save the adult!â
Gongsun Zhongjing nodded in agreement before he heaved a sigh of relief.
In the room, Xiaoxiaoâs hand was still on Madam Songâs stomach. [Use Range Control.]
This was another precise operation, but compared to the time on the battlefield, Xiaoxiao was not dizzy and could do two things at once. As she used the power of space control to help the children in Madam Songâs stomach turn around, she said to Madam Song, âMother, I think the two babies are very energetic. You will definitely give birth smoothly. Donât worry.â âBesides, donât you always say that Iâm a lucky star? Then Iâll share my good luck with you today.â
Coincidentally, the midwife, who had washed her hands, came to do an antenatal checkup for Madam Song. Under Madam Songâs strong request, Xiaoxiao turned her head and did not look, but she heard her voice clearly. âMadam, donât worry. The child is very well and the position of the fetus is right. As long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee that the two of you will be safe!â
Xiaoxiao turned around and smiled at Madam Song. âLook, Mother, what did I say!â
Then, she was chased out by Madam Song.
Ning Fengnian was already sweating outside the door. âHow is it?â Xiaoxiao felt that asking these three words seemed to have exhausted all of Ning Fengnianâs strength, so she hurriedly told him, âEverything is normal. The midwife said that the child is healthy and the fetal position is correct.â
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
When the guests in front heard that the matriarch was about to give birth, they also sincerely prayed for her safety. Rong Yan looked at Xiaoxiaoâs slightly haggard expression worriedly. âWhat did you do just now?â
There was no need to hide anything from her Little Big Brother. Xiaoxiao whispered what happened and said, âIâm not at ease. Iâll use my space to hide beside Mother and watch later. Help me cover up. Tell her that Iâm making soup for Mother in the kitchen.â
Rong Yan thought of something else. âDid you use space control on the Xiongnu people on the battlefield before?â He thought of more. âDid the jade pendant fall because you were also as weak as you are now?â Xiaoxiao did not say that it was even more dangerous at that time, but she did not deny it either. However, Rong Yan was no ordinary person. He immediately had the urge to hug the person in front of him tightly.
A cry of pain came from inside the house, causing Ning Fengnian, who had already been a father twice, to feel worried. Ning Anhui couldnât care less about going to the bridal chamber. After sending a message to the bride to tell her not to be anxious, he waited anxiously at the door with his father in his wedding clothes.
It was good for him not to forget to get someone to send some food to the bride. The bride, Qian Jiaoâer, was also a considerate person. She only asked him to accompany his mother in peace. There was nothing wrong with her being alone.
Shopkeeper Qian and his wife helped to comfort the guests without any complaints.
The guests increasingly felt that this marriage was a good one. Amidst these praises and envious voices, Xiaoxiao used the space to quietly come to Madam Songâs room..
