"Dr Sun, how is my wife?" Nian Hua was an impatient person, when he saw Dr Sun constantly checking his pulse and asking questions, he could not help but ask.
Dr Sun who was checking his pulse had a strange expression, as if mixed with surprise and hesitation.
He knitted his eyebrows and repeatedly checked his pulse.
Seeing him like this, Shen Jingli could not help but feel anxious, and being assured that there was nothing wrong with his body, he said: "Dr Sun, my body has always been healthy, there shouldn't be anything wrong with it right?"
He did believe in himself, but the other party was a famous gynecologist. His hesitant expression made him feel scared. He even started to suspect if there was something wrong with the child in his stomach.
Mu Jin sat at the side while carrying Xun Er, and also asked: "Dr Sun, you must speak the truth, how is my sister-in-law? Is there something wrong with the baby? "
He had promised his big brother that he would definitely take good care of his sister-in-law. If anything happened to his sister-in-law's child, he wouldn't be able to apologize even if he died.
Dr Sun nodded and then shook his head. When everyone was confused, he said: "Madam's stomach... It seems to be two children. "
"What?!" This pleasant surprise was too great, scaring Shen Jingli to the point that his face became deathly pale. Fuck, one was born and he almost lost half his life, this two …
Mu Jin suddenly stood up with Xun Er in his arms, he was so excited that he couldn't even stop his teacup from rolling on the ground, and immediately went up to grab the Dr Sun and asked, "Are you saying that … I'm going to have two nephews now? "
Jin Yu was just about to bring in a bowl of goat's milk, but after hearing these words, she flipped the milk over and rushed over like a tornado, surrounding Dr Sun.
Seeing the excited look on the family's faces, Dr Sun did not dare guarantee anything, and could only say: "Madam's pulse is indeed similar to the pulse of two children, but this month is still shallow, this old man cannot guarantee a accurate diagnosis. I can only wait until the month gets bigger, then we can confirm it properly."
No one paid any attention to Dr Sun's words. They were only thinking about the matter of Shen Jingli carrying his twin. Mu Jin became even more excited and said, "I want to immediately write a letter to Big Brother and tell you of this good news."
Jin Yu quickly brought his servants to kowtow and congratulate them. In her joy, Mu Jin naturally rewarded them ruthlessly, making everyone smile brightly.
Shen Jingli was stunned for a long time before he regained his senses. When he lowered his head, he saw Xun Er crawling up to him, sitting on his thigh, and reaching out his hand to caress his stomach, Shen Jingli suddenly had a deep feeling.
"Xun Er, are you happy that you're going to have two younger brothers?"
"Little brother, two." Xun Er parroted and repeated, then happily pointed at the White-shouldered Eagle in the courtyard and repeated, "Little brother, two."
Only then did Shen Jingli remember what Xun Er had said before. He thought to himself, could it be that Mu Shisi and the child in his stomach agreed so he sent the two little fellows back?
Although shesheas happy, Jin Yu did not forget to give Dr Sun a tip. She also asked him a few things that she needed to pay attention to as well, and when Dr Sun saw that his family was happy, he did not listen to him at all and felt a little helpless. However, the reward he offered was extremely generous, he only thought of going to Dr Sun a few more times.
"Did something good happen at home?"
Just as everyone was immersed in their joy, there was suddenly a voice coming from outside the door, shocking everyone who turned their heads to look, and saw Xu Yanlin, they were a little disappointed.
Xu Yanlin had been working in the mines for the whole morning, returning home exhausted. Seeing this kind of lineup, he was a little surprised, but when he saw everyone's reaction, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Old Master Xu, you're back." Jin Yu did not try to conceal her excitement as she sent Dr Sun out the door. On the way, she got the coachman to send him back to the city before she turned around to talk to Xu Yanlin, "My wife is pregnant with twins."
Xu Yanlin was shocked, and immediately understood that they were disappointed because the one who came back was not Mu Chen.
After that, he turned his head to look at Shen Jingli. After a long while, he finally opened his mouth: "This is indeed a joyous occasion. If Zi An knows, he will definitely be happy."
Seeing him like this, Shen Jingli suddenly said, "Are you jealous?"
Xu Yanlin gasped for breath, and almost choked to death by his words. He raised his head and glared at Shen Jingli, and felt that this fellow was extremely mischievous, using words to choke him up every single time.
Mu Jin was extremely excited, he immediately ordered Da Lee to grind them and sent him a letter to report his good news.

At the Yun Lai Inn on Jiang City, Mu Chen had just put down his backpack and was planning to rest, when Wei Zuo brought a letter in, "Master, it's a letter from the Madam."
As he thought of Shen Jingli, a warm feeling flashed across Mu Chen's eyes. He wondered how Jinglee was doing.
Receiving the letter, Mu Chen was just about to open it and look, when he added, "It's an urgent eight hundred Li delivery."
After hearing that, Mu Chen's face sunk. Eight hundred kilometers? He could not care about anything else. He tore open the envelope, shook open the letter, and began to read. As he read, his tightened eyebrows gradually relaxed. Instead, he revealed a hint of joy.
"Master, did something happen to Madam?" Wei Zuo asked with concern.
"Yes, it's a joyous occasion." Mu Chen could not hide the joy on his face as he handed the letter over to Wei Zuo and said, "Take a look for yourself."
Seeing that Mu Chen did not mind, Wei Zuo did not stay polite either, he opened the letter and quickly took a look at the contents of the letter. His usually stern face revealed a smile, and he immediately kneeled down and congratulated him.
Wei You came in while carrying food. Hearing these words, he curiously asked. Is there anything good that I can do? "
"Don't you think it's a good thing that Madam is pregnant with twins?" Wei Zuo stood up and handed the letter over to Wei You.
Wei You looked at it and also revealed a happy expression. He was a little more meticulous than Mu Chen and Wei Zuo, and not only was he happy, he also thought about Shen Jingli's condition.
"Master, Madam's health is not very good, and now that she is pregnant with twins, shouldn't I buy more things to make up for it?" Wei You reminded, "The Jiang City is rich in resources, you can purchase and send some food products back to me. Can you also prepare some 1000-year-old ginseng, 100-year-old lingzhi and other medicinal ingredients?"
When Mu Chen and Wei Zuo heard this, they both felt that what he said was reasonable. Wei Zuo even patted his shoulder and said: "Wei You, you overestimated yourself."
"Indeed." Mu Chen agreed, "Then you guys can go to the market tomorrow to take a look. If there's anything useful or fun, bring them back to Madam."
"Then should I send a letter to Cold Wind and have him find a thousand year ginseng and a thousand year snow lotus for Madam in the north?" Wei You placed food on the table and asked.
As he mentioned the cold wind, Mu Chen remembered about the White-shouldered Eagle mentioned in Mu Jin's letter. He beckoned to Wei Zuo, "Give me the letter, I'll look at it again."
Wei Zuo respectfully handed over the letter. Mu Chen read through it carefully, thought for a while, and then said: "Hanfeng, I'm afraid it isn't in the northwest."
"He's a deputy general of the Northwest Army. If he doesn't stay in the Northwest Army, where else can he go?" Wei You asked doubtfully.
Mu Chen rubbed his thumb on the letter and did not answer Wei You's question. However, he had a premonition that the person in the cold wind was definitely not in the northwest direction.
Wei You did not mind, he immediately invited Mu Chen and Wei Zuo to have a meal, "Master, we can eat now."
When they were outside, Mu Chen had never cared about those level concepts, especially in the wild. He basically sat on the ground, grabbed his meal tightly and entered a state of preparedness.
"En, sit down and eat." Mu Chen sat down and then told them.
Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking.
After the few of them quickly ate, Wei Zuo took out two booklets, "Master, you asked me to investigate this, regarding the situation of Jiang Changhua interacting with others in the Jiang City Salt Pond, and the other was the account book of his wife's shop."
Wei Zuo handed over the two books and pulled up a chair, then sat in front of Mu Chen: "Master, Jiang Changhua has been interacting with many people in the southern military camp lately, and has even been drinking and chatting with the deputy general of General Zheng."
No one understood the problems of the salt farm in the south better than Jiang Changhua, the salt pond supervisor. Therefore, the moment Mu Chen got back to the Jiang City, he immediately had Wei Zuo investigate his situation.
"What do you think is wrong with him?" Mu Chen picked up the two books and casually flipped through them.
Wei Zuo pondered for a moment, then said: "The current investigation reveals that he accepted the bribes, and secretly sold his salt."
As the Salt Lake Overseer, he secretly stole the official salt refined by the imperial government and sold it to the public. Just this crime alone was enough to strip him of his black gauze hat and exiled him to the northeast.
As long as the salt was high enough, private salt could not be banned. As long as the salt was profitable, it did not care about the policy of the imperial government. Furthermore, since the price of private salt was low, the citizens were willing to buy private salt.
"What about the pirates?"
"This matter is kept under wraps. I've scouted around the city, and no one knows the exact situation." Wei Zuo shook his head. After a moment, he seemed to have thought of something and added, "However, I heard that someone said that he had lost several thousand kilograms of good salt."
A few thousand jin of good salt, if it really was lost, then it wouldn't be much. If it was swallowed up by the people inside, then there would be people who couldn't hold it in and were planning to make their move.
"Master, what should we do next?" Wei You asked.
First, keep an eye on Jiang Changhua, and see who he has been in contact with recently. Mu Chen said, and continued, Send people to check out the cells in the army camp, where are all the captured pirates?
"Your subordinate understands." Wei Zuo, Wei You said in unison.
Mu Chen nodded his head, and then reminded his, "Remember to buy some supplies for Madam tomorrow."
Wei Zuo and Wei You couldn't help but laugh. They thought to themselves, "The relationship between me and my wife is really good, with my wife being the first priority in everything."
After the two of them answered and left, Mu Chen took out the letter cherished and gently caressed it. He could almost imagine Shen Jingli's extremely annoyed expression after knowing that he was pregnant, it was not because he was not willing to give birth to his children. It was because he simply did not like the thought of getting pregnant, nor did he like the pain of having a child.
As he thought about it, the longing in his heart became more and more uncontrollable. He immediately got up and had the waiter bring in a brush, ink and paper.
The morning of the second day, Wei Zuo and Wei You followed Mu Chen's instructions and went onto the street to purchase all sorts of items for Shen Jingli. After sending Mu Chen's letter back to Mu Family Village 800 kilometers away, they began to do their own things.
