Chapter 156: Twins
Su Wenyue herself didn’t notice it. Although she had been pregnant several times in her previous life, only the first one was born safely. She thought that her belly was bigger because she was well fed. Moreover, it was only more than three months now, so the size was not so obvious. If it weren’t for the county magistrate’s wife saying so, she would have thought it was quite normal.
“It looks like it’s bigger.” An had been pregnant several times before, so she naturally had experience. She didn’t observe her daughter’s belly carefully just now. After hearing what the county magistrate’s wife said, it was true.
“It looks like it’s bigger. Could it be that she is really pregnant with twins?” An was naturally more concerned about her daughter than the county magistrate’s wife. After hearing what the county magistrate’s wife said, she became a little nervous and worried. In her opinion, having twins is not necessarily a good thing. Her daughter is still young and it’s her first child, so it will be more difficult to give birth. If it’s twins, she might be in danger.
Giving birth is a life-threatening matter for women, but now we still need to confirm whether the daughter is pregnant with twins or the baby is bigger. It would be fine if it was normal. She has a good relationship with the county magistrate's wife, so there is no need to be taboo. However, today is the county magistrate's wife's birthday, so it is not easy to invite a doctor.
The county magistrate's wife seemed to see An's concerns, waved her hand, whispered a few words to the maid, and asked the maid to invite the doctor who is usually used in the mansion.
"This is not good. After all, today is your birthday. I will take Yue Niang to the clinic to ask the doctor to see it. There is no need to be so troublesome." An waved her hand, seeming a little uneasy.
"Stop talking about this. Whether it's a trouble or not, we don't need to talk about this because of our friendship. Besides, this is nothing else. If we are diagnosed with twins, we can also share the joy of Yue Niang and the children. Maybe we can get two daughters-in-law pregnant earlier."
An Shi didn't say anything after hearing what the county magistrate's wife said. Pregnancy is indeed a happy event. She would feel relieved if she could get the exact news earlier.
"Doctor, how is it?" The county magistrate's wife invited a doctor who was often used in the mansion. His medical skills were also one of the best in the county. However, the doctor had been feeling the pulse for a long time but had no result. Although An Shi was worried, she was calm. On the contrary, the county magistrate's wife was a little anxious and asked hurriedly.
"Yes, doctor, how is my daughter's pulse? Is there anything wrong?" An asked worriedly.
"Nothing wrong, congratulations, Madam Han, you are indeed pregnant with twins, and the fetuses are in good condition. As long as you take good care of them, you will definitely give birth to a pair of healthy children." The doctor hesitated for a while before replying, because he was still a little uncertain in his heart. This pulse seemed to be slightly different from twins, but there was still some uncertainty. However, the fetuses in the abdomen were in good condition at present, and there should be no problems.
"Really?! It's really twins, this is really a happy thing! Yue Niang's child is really a blessing. Go and invite the two young ladies over, let them also share Yue Niang's joy, and give me a big fat grandson in the future." The county magistrate's wife said in surprise, and then gave several orders in succession.
"Thank you, doctor." After the county magistrate's wife gave the reward, An added another reward. After getting the doctor's confirmation, An was happy and worried. She was happy that she would have another good grandson, but she was worried that her daughter was young and the birth was really dangerous. But it was a good thing anyway. She would send another experienced nanny to serve her later.
Su Wenyue herself was a little bit unbelievable. She was actually pregnant with twins in her belly. This was something she had never experienced in her previous life. Could it be that God pitied her and gave her two at once? Now she really felt that the Bodhisattva of Lingyin Temple was a little bit spiritual.
"Oh, Sister Yue is actually pregnant with twins. Does that mean there are two cute babies in it?" Xu Qianqian saw the doctor coming and stayed quietly by the side. Until this time, she couldn't help but walk to Su Wenyue, staring at Su Wenyue's belly curiously, wanting to put her hand on it and touch it.
The county magistrate's wife slapped Xu Qianqian's hand away, fearing that she would hurt the baby in Su Wenyue's belly with her impetuousness: "You, your sister Yue's baby is precious, you should be careful."
"Mom, I know, don't always treat me like a child, I just want to touch it, I also want to get a taste of the joy of the baby in sister Yue's belly, sister Yue, do you think it's okay?"
Xu Qianqian said with a pair of big eyes looking at Su Wenyue eagerly, making people feel reluctant to refuse. Getting a taste of joy was purely imitating her mother's words. She hadn't even married yet, so what joy could she get? She was just curious and looked at Su Wenyue eagerly.
This was nothing, as long as she was careful. Su Wenyue looked at Xu Qianqian with a smile, and she still liked this girl in her heart. In her previous life, she didn't have much contact with her natal family after she got married, and other relationships with her natal family were naturally broken. I don't know what happened to Xu Qianqian later.
"Well, it's okay. If you want to touch it, go ahead. But the baby in the belly is still small, so you have to be gentle." Su Wenyue said with a smile, exuding a maternal glow, soft and warm, which made Xu Qianqian unable to look away. How could this be the same Sister Yue who used to fool around with her? It seems that what her mother said was right. Sister Yue is indeed different.
However, Xu Qianqian still happily reached out her hand to Su Wenyue's belly the next moment, but she remembered Su Wenyue's reminder and was really as gentle as possible, for fear of hurting the baby in Su Wenyue's belly. After touching for a long time, she found nothing unusual, so she moved her hand away with some disappointment.
Su Wenyue laughed at Xu Qianqian's expression. It turned out that she was still a child. So she explained: "The baby in the belly is still small, so I can't feel any movement. They will move in two months. From time to time, they will kick me and a small bag will appear on my belly."
"Really? Then you must let me touch it when the time comes." Xu Qianqian became excited again and asked repeatedly.
An Shi looked at her daughter like this and felt a little bit out of place and strange. Although her daughter was pregnant, it was her first time. She looked like she was very experienced, like a woman who had already had childbirth experience. But maybe she was overthinking it. She sent a nanny to her daughter. The nanny was naturally experienced. It was not certain that her daughter learned about it from the nanny.
The two young ladies were entertaining guests outside at this time. When they saw their mother-in-law asked them to go there immediately, they were surprised at first, and then worried. They were afraid that something might have happened if they were asked to go there in such a hurry. So they all put down the things in their hands and hurried back, fearing that something might happen if they were late. Today was their mother-in-law's birthday. If something went wrong, they would be in trouble, and their husbands would also blame them for their incompetence.
