The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

The Qin family was once the residence of a military general. It was a large house with three entrances and east and west courtyards.

Gu Jinchu brought the children over, and Zheng Mudan placed them in the east courtyard. Although they were separated from the main house by only a wall, there was still some distance.

Now that she was having an attack, Gu Jinchu and her grandmother supported her and walked slowly towards the main room.

Just as I walked out of the Chuihua Gate, Mantou came rushing over with a small oil cart.

He stood there with a loud voice and said, "Madam, I have already notified the two midwives and sent someone to look for the master."

Zheng Mudan waved her hand, signaling him not to panic, and ordered him: "Tell the guards in the mansion to cheer up and take good care of the two young masters in the east courtyard!"

"Watch each corner gate. If anyone goes out to tip off the enemy, tie them up immediately. If the Xie family comes uninvited, there is no need to stop them."

She just had an attack and it's nothing serious. Walking around more will be more beneficial for her upcoming delivery.

It’s just that the babies in her belly came a little too suddenly, and she hasn’t arranged the affairs in the house properly yet.

Madam Zheng supported her daughter and said, "Mudan, just focus on giving birth to the baby. Don't worry about other things."

Thinking that the mother came from the general's mansion, the Zheng family is different today than before.

Besides, the guards that the brother-in-law left for his daughter were not ordinary people, which made Zheng Mudan feel relieved.

It feels so good to have my mother around!

As they were talking, they had already returned to the main room.

Two midwives were brought to the Qin family early in the morning. When they saw Madam Jiang Wu supporting Madam Qin over, the two of them came out of the house to greet them.

After helping Zheng Mudan to the inner room for a checkup, he smiled and said, "Madam Qin has seen her bleeding, and is now in labor. I believe the nobles will be able to see the young master soon."

Although Mrs. Qin was pregnant with twins, she had experience in childbirth and would be much more relaxed than Gu Jinchu was at that time.

The two midwives had the experience from last time, so they comforted the women in the room and were fully alert to deal with the situation.

By dusk, the yard was already brightly lit.

When Nuonuo and Tuanzi woke up, they didn't see their mother. They were crying so hard that the wet nurse had no choice but to send the children over.

Nuonuo hugged her mother's neck, lay on top of her and sobbed, but she stopped crying.

When her sister stopped crying, Tuanzi stopped howling and held her chubby little hand to chew on it, making her saliva ooze out.

The arrival of the two children added a touch of warmth and kindness to the tense atmosphere.

Gu Jinchu's nervous heartstrings also relaxed a little.

As soon as Qin Lang stepped through the door, it was obvious that he walked in with his hands and feet together.

Hearing the cries of pain from the delivery room, big beads of sweat ran down his temples.

Madam Zheng waved at him, and her voice seemed to calm people down, "The midwife said that Mudan's condition is going well, just wait for the fruit to mature."

Qin Lang licked the corner of his dry lips. Since his mother-in-law could sit there so calmly, Mudan in the delivery room must be safe.

He heard Mudan's painful groan again. He stood outside the partition like an ant on a hot pot. He grabbed the carved wooden partition with his big hands and shouted inside:

"Mudan, I'm back! I'm back to accompany you! Don't be afraid!" As he said that, he wanted to push open the partition door and rush in.

"Don't come in, don't distract me!" Zheng Mudan shouted from inside.

Qin Lang really stood there, not daring to say anything, and listened to the noise inside with his ears perked up.

His tall and strong body stood there like a small mountain. He was breathing heavily, and it felt like the temperature around him was rising.

The servants who were serving him not only did not dare to approach him, but also walked around him.

Soon, Master Jiang Wu appeared outside the door.

Xuanping Hou Xie Shanglin had a very expressive look on his face. He followed behind Master Jiang Wu and strode up the stone steps in front of the door.

Xie Shanglin stood at the door and did not come in. He saw Old Madam Zheng sitting on the Luohan bed in the room and bowed to her.

He thought to himself, even if Jiang Nansheng and his wife were not there, Old Madam Zheng was there too. Fortunately, he did not tell them the purpose of his visit when he entered the room.

A middle-aged man who looked like a manager stood beside Xie Shanglin, discussing something with him in a low voice. The servant looked around in a state of alert.

Xie Shanglin was thinking about his unborn grandson, who would be the future Marquis of Xuanping Marquisate and the heir of his line of the Xie family.

When Gu Jinchu saw Master Jiang Wu coming in, he held her little hand and told her that it was her father who had returned.

After Uncle Jiang Wu paid his respects to his grandmother, she stood up with the child in her arms and walked to his side, asking him in a low voice how he knew the news.

Master Jiang Wu leaned over and whispered something in her ear, then put his arm around her shoulders to comfort her, telling her not to be nervous.

"Born, born!"

After a loud cry, the midwife opened the partition door and poked her head out to announce the good news to everyone in the room, "Madam is pregnant with another baby... The delivery went smoothly, and the little boy is also very healthy."

Qin Lang stood straight, standing there like a wooden stake.

Peony gave birth...

Xie Shanglin held the family tree in his hand and bowed to the sky again and again: "Thank you for the blessing of our ancestors! Thank you for the blessing of our ancestors..."

Gu Jinchu placed his arms on the table beside him, took his grandmother's hand, and felt the wetness in her palm. He knew that the old lady was not as calm as she appeared.

Madam Zheng nodded and said several good words repeatedly.

Mudan was her youngest daughter and her only daughter, so naturally she had a different relationship with her three sons.

When the maid beside Zheng Mudan came out holding a swaddling baby, Xie Shanglin rushed in from outside the door.

It was impolite of a man of his status as he tried to pull the child's swaddling clothes.

Qin Lang waved his hand and quickly blocked his action, saying in a cold voice: "What do you want to do!"

Xie Shanglin looked at his son who was much taller than him, swallowed his lips, and then seemed to have gained courage. "What! You've ruined my position as the Marquis's son, and I can't even confirm if this guy has a penis?"

After the document was signed that day and everyone had left, he pondered over it over and over again before he finally reacted.

What if Zheng Mudan’s first child is a girl?

He would never give the title of Marquis Xuanping to a little girl, even the emperor would not agree.

If he makes a mistake and is not careful, the title of Marquis Xuanping will be taken back by the royal family.

It would be fine if Qin Lang had no father-son relationship with him, but wouldn't this put him in an irretrievable situation?

The more he thought about it afterwards, the more regretful he felt. He was set up by Zheng Mudan and Qin Lang.

In the past, the Xie family was controlled by the princess. Now that Cao Zhen has been divorced and the empress dowager in the palace has no real power, the Cao family can no longer threaten him.

Then if he remarries or takes a concubine in the future, will he still worry about the continuation of his bloodline?

Qin Lang raised his shoulders and rested his elbows on Xie Shanglin's chest, as if he knew what was in his mind. He said with sarcasm and disdain, "If you regret it, go to the emperor and appeal for justice! I'll be waiting for you!"

After saying that, she asked the maid to send the child to Old Madam Zheng.

At this time, the sound of a baby crying could be heard again in the delivery room. The partition door opened, and the midwife came out holding a bright red swaddling cloth.

The elderly woman smiled brightly and said auspicious words of flattery, "Congratulations to the master and the mistress on the birth of their sons... a pair of little boys, healthy and beautiful!"

Qin Lang couldn't bear to see anyone getting in the way at this time, so no matter whether he was her biological father or not, he couldn't ruin Mudan's mood.

With a big hand, he pushed Xie Shanglin and the manager beside him out.

He stood outside the partition and said, "Mudan, the children are being taken care of by mother-in-law and Jinchu... Can I go in now?"

His eager and impatient look made his flamboyant flying fish suit look so unbearable to look at.
