Sick Man Turns Out to be a General

4When Mu Chen returned, the midwife was holding the child in her arms for Shen Jingli to see. The child that was just born was creased and didn't look cute at all.     2

    

The midwife saw through Shen Jingli's thoughts and explained, "The newborn baby is like this, after a period of time, it will open and look good."    

    

Shen Jingli leaned his head over to look at the child, and waved his hand in front of his eyes to tease him. The little child's black bright eyes followed his finger and turned back and forth, and suddenly, his mouth split into a smile.    

    

The midwife saw that Young Master was smiling and jumped in shock. She laughed until the wrinkles on her face bloomed and said happily: "Young Master is smiling so happily, I'm sure you will be blessed in the future."    

    

"Well said, reward."    

    

"Thank you Madam." After thanking him, she realised that the voice was not coming from Shen Jingli. She hurriedly turned her head and saw Mu Chen walking in, and immediately knelt down, saluting, "Greetings, Master."    

    

Mu Chen waved his hands, gesturing for her to get up, "You may leave first."    

    

As he spoke, he reached out to hug the child in his wife's hands, but as he got closer, the little child unhappily waved her fist, and started crying. As he cried, so did the Third Brother in Nanny Jin's arms.    

    

Mu Chen, who had failed in his first attempt, was stunned in place. A dull expression briefly appeared on his face, as he did not understand what he had done wrong. He hadn't even touched the child yet, so why was the child crying?    

    

When the midwife saw his expression, she was even more frightened than if she had seen a ghost. She hugged the child's hands and tried her best to keep them steady, but her legs were trembling like a sieve.    

    

The cries of the two children pierced his ears like demonic notes. The midwives were so frightened that they could not even maintain the fake smiles on their faces.    

    

Hearing his brother's crying, Xun Er who was playing outside anxiously ran in, directly rushing towards Shen Jingli: "Mama, why is brother crying?"    

    

He immediately turned around and hugged Mu Chen's leg. Just as he was about to happily share the joy of being his big brother with Mu Chen, he smelled a dense smell of fat pink, and frowned his handsome little face. He pushed Mu Chen away, turned around and ran towards Shen Jingli, and reported in a low voice, "Mama, Daddy is smelly, smelly …"    

    

He pinched his nose and pouted his lips, revealing an intolerable expression as he blatantly loathed his own father.    

    

"Smell?" Shen Jingli imagined himself being in the small theater that Mu Chen had fallen into and suddenly hugged Xun Er and laughed.    

    

Mu Chen's expression instantly froze, he... What kind of strange scene was this?    

    

Shen Jingli laughed for a while, then suddenly realised what Xun Er was saying. He raised his head and glanced at Mu Chen sinisterly, his face revealing a look of disdain, "You can leave, don't pollute my air here."    

    

He raised his eyebrows a little, but frowned again. He did not understand what Shen Jingli meant, and had even scared the midwife who was standing beside him into not daring to move. The midwife carefully glanced at Mu Chen, and revealed an ugly bitter smile, she felt very strange, it was not that the Nanping County Prince husband was very close, and had never quarreled before. Why would General Mu come back with the smell of a woman's makeup to see a child?    

    

"Hurry up and go take a bath, change your clothes. Even your son despises you, I still don't know what's going on, you stupid fool." Shen Jingli roared in anger and reached out his hand to hug Xun Er onto the bed. Xun Er laid on Shen Jingli's body for a while, turned his head, pinched his nose, and made a face at Mu Chen.    

    

Mu Chen's expression became even more solemn. Seeing that, the Nanny Jin hurriedly said: "Old master has been busy the whole day, he must be tired, let's go take a bath first and change into a clean set of clothes to see the two little gongzis."    

    

Nanny Jin half asked Mu Chen to come out, and the moment he went out, he saw Zhao Wenrui bringing Chun Hua and Nian Hua. Before he could even greet them, Zhao Wenrui had taken the lead, "Mu Shisi, where did you mess around? Why did he smell like a woman's makeup? Do you have any conscience? Jinglee risked his life to help you give birth to your child, yet you are actually fooling around outside? "    

    

"I just got back from the investigation." Mu Chen suddenly realised that he had miscalculated in his consideration of the situation, and hoped that Jinglee would not think too much about it.    

    

"Investigate the case?" Zhao Wenrui obviously did not believe him, any man who cheated would never admit that he was cheating. Even if he was caught red-handed, he would bite back and say that it was someone else who seduced him, "Did you run over to the pile of women to investigate?"    

    

He mocked, but did not expect Mu Chen to actually nod his head.    

    

"See …" He didn't expect that Mu Chen would admit it, and Zhao Wenrui almost bit his own tongue. He looked at Mu Chen in disbelief, "You went to a brothel to investigate? Was it because of the recent cases where the old masters and young masters had been indulging themselves in an excessive and sudden death? "    

    

He was more familiar with the capital city and was more well-informed than Shen Jingli, so he was more familiar with the few cases in the capital city.    

    

"Isn't investigating the case about the justice courts? What does it have to do with you? " He had to find a good excuse to fool others.    

    

"This has a lot to do with it." Mu Chen only said this one sentence, and then said no more.    

    

Zhao Wenrui did not speak, he had nothing else to say, he had only casually cursed, and in the end, Mu Chen had actually went to such a place to investigate a case, what else could he say?    

    

"..."    

    

After knowing that Shen Jingli had given birth to two sons, both Third Old Lady Mu and Old Lady Yang were overjoyed, especially Old Lady Yang, who was so happy that her illness was much better. Not only did she drink an extra bowl of porridge, she could even walk on the bed.    

    

When the servant reported that the Old Lady Yang had arrived, Mu Chen was currently in his room accompanying his child.    

    

The child's cheeks were red, and there were still some creases on them. However, compared to the first day, they were much better. He was currently sleeping soundly. Mu Chen looked at them warmly. No matter how he looked at it, he liked them.    

    

"Isn't grandmother bedridden? Why are you here? " Shen Jingli had just woken up, but hearing the servant's report, he felt strange …    

    

Mu Chen also felt that it was a little strange, he leaned over and kissed Shen Jingli, and said: "I'll go out to take a look, I'll be back in a while."    

    

The Old Lady Yang was in a good mood, she asked Shen Jingli about her situation the moment she arrived at County Prince's Mansion. After finding out that it was Zhao Wenrui helping to manage the family matters these few days, she praised Shen Jingli a few times.    

    

Just as she was giving out orders to the servants to do their work, Mu Chen came out. "Grandmother, your health is not good, you should stay home and rest.    

    

He stepped forward to support the Old Lady Yang, allowing her to sit down.    

    

"My old bones are doing fine." The Old Lady Yang said full of spirit, "I was just thinking that you don't have any family members in charge in your house, so I specially brought your two aunts here to help you. Tomorrow is my good great-grandson's Third Washing Banquet, if you dare to do something disgraceful for me, I will not forgive you."    

    

The Old Lady Yang grabbed Mu Chen's arm and spoke loudly. Seeing that her complexion was much better, Mu Chen smiled and said: "I will be depending on Mrs Xu to take care of the Three Cleansing Banquet for that child."    

    

— —    

    

The next day was the little bun's Three Cleansing Banquet. Originally, Xi San only needed to invite close friends, but the Old Lady Yang insisted on having it big, so Mu Chen gave invitations to everyone he knew.    

    

The officials of the capital were all willing to give face to Mu Chen. Anyone who received the invitation would bring their wife to participate in the Mu Family Gemini's Three Washing Banquet.    

    

Mu Yuanzhi also came, but he himself came, and seeing that there were people from the Yang Family inside and outside, he felt a little awkward.    

    

The guests that came were all very polite, and after praising Shen Jingli and the children, the atmosphere became very lively.    

    

Although Mu Chen did not care about it, he could see that the place was bustling with noise and excitement. Third Old Lady Mu and Old Lady Yang were all smiling brightly, their expressions also becoming much gentler.    

    

Yesterday afternoon, the Old Lady Yang snatched the right to give the child a breast name. After pondering deeply, he gave the two children a breast name, one was called Pan An, the other was called An An.    

    

After lunch, when the auspicious hour arrived, the midwife brought out Yuan Tuan and An An.    

    

The incense table had long since been neatly arranged, bearing the idols of the thirteen concubines.    

    

The two kids seemed to be very curious about the outside world as they stared around with their black eyes wide open. Their small pink faces no longer had the wrinkles from when they were born, and they giggled at everyone, causing all the guests to smile brightly.    

    

Some people started whispering to each other.    

    

"These two children are so cute. Look at those eyes, they are so beautiful. They are exactly the same as General Mu."    

    

"Nanping County Prince is truly blessed. I have never seen a pair that is even more fortunate than him."    

    

"I'll talk to County Prince a bit more in a while, maybe I'll benefit from it."    

    

"..."    

    

The envious voices rose and fell, and the student's smile became more sincere.    

    

After they finished bowing, the maidservant brought out two pans of clear water. The two reborn mama each held a ball of water and An'an, took up some water, and then lightly patted their heads. "A dozen is smart."    

    

Feeling the cold water, the two little fellows twisted their bodies and waved their four little claws in the air.    

    

The Senior Servant Huan patted them again. "Second fight."    

    

In the middle of winter, the water was very cold. The two little fellows felt uncomfortable after being continuously patted twice. With a wail, they started to cry loudly together.    

    

"It's good that you're crying. In the future, you'll be safe and sound." The Old Lady Yang was very pleased and threw a longevity lock into each of the pots.    

    

"With such a loud cry, the two Young Master will definitely have great prospects in the future." The Great Concubine De Wang also came to join in the fun and threw two pieces of high-quality jade inside, then turned to Third Old Lady Mu and said, "You sure are lucky."    

    

Third Old Lady Mu then threw Jin Wei Zi into the basin, followed by Third Grandpa, Old Master Yang, a few cousins, Aunt Tang, Uncle and Aunt, and then the guests who came to visit.    

    

She hugged her wife who still had no children and refused to let go just to be blessed. She even secretly asked Shen Jingli if he had any secret formulas for giving birth? He even asked about their husband's matters, which made Shen Jingli feel extremely awkward.    

    

After washing up, Mu Chen continued to investigate, but he had become smarter this time, so he reported this to Shen Jingli in advance, in order to prevent him from thinking too much.
