As everyone had guessed, Xu Han's health was fine; she was simply carrying twins.

In other words, she is pregnant with twins this time.

However, perhaps because she is carrying twins, she is thinner than during previous pregnancies. The doctor said she needs to take good care of her body, otherwise the twins might be too small and difficult to raise after birth.

However, you shouldn't eat too much; eat in moderation and have small, frequent meals.

If you take too much supplement at once, it will be difficult to deliver the baby during childbirth.

In addition, since it is a twin pregnancy, the delivery will definitely be more difficult than for ordinary people, so it is essential to supplement your diet appropriately.

The reason why Xu Han's belly has grown so quickly in the past few days is because the baby is at the stage where it needs to gain weight, and this time it is growing every day, so it is growing very fast.

Since the couple learned that they were expecting twins, they have been taking it much more seriously than before.

On the day the twins were confirmed, Lu Chuan immediately sent the message to the Taoist priest and the others. He was so proud of himself that he was practically walking on air.

However, despite his pride, he also began to worry about Xu Han.

Childbirth is already like a brush with death for a woman, let alone when she is pregnant with twins, which makes the risk even greater.

In his letter, he specifically mentioned that the Taoist priest and the others should return as soon as possible, and try to get home before Xu Han gives birth. With Grandpa Zhao there, he could feel more at ease.

At the same time, Lu Chuan also began to instruct the servants at home to stay with Xu Han every step of the way, and specially asked Wei Yan to make different kinds of food for Xu Han every day.

The servants in the house were also very happy. No one dared to neglect Xu Han and served her wholeheartedly every day.

The young master was born safely and soundly. Given the family's character, they would surely reward him handsomely. There was no reason for him not to do his job properly at this time and cause trouble for himself.

Not only that, Lu Chuan had even found midwives in advance, and they were all experienced and well-known women in the county town.

It can be said that Lu Chuan went to great lengths to ensure that Xu Han's child could be born safely.

Because Xu Han was pregnant, Lu Chuan stopped slacking off and took over Xu Han's work, no longer letting her manage business matters.

In fact, Lu Chuan gradually took over Xu Han's care during the early stages of her pregnancy, but Xu Han didn't feel anything at the time and didn't experience any morning sickness, so she took care of part of it herself.

After confirming that she was pregnant with twins, Lu Chuan forcibly took over all the affairs that Xu Han was in charge of, regardless of whether she was willing or not.

Every day, she is allowed to walk around, eat, and sleep at home; she is not allowed to do anything else.

Fortunately, although Lu Chuan doesn't like to get involved in these things, he's not stupid. He struggled a bit when he first took over, but with Xu Han's help, he's now completely proficient.

He was busy with business matters from early morning to late at night, and Xu Han only needed to know the results; the rest was arranged by others.

At most, she would inquire about the progress of things and offer some advice, but otherwise she really didn't care about anything. She spent her days eating, sleeping, and taking walks, with four people serving her.

That's right, there are four people. Besides Chunmei and Qiyu, Li Wen's wife and Granny Ma are now serving her.

Lu Chuan was mainly worried that two people wouldn't be enough, and if something happened, there would be no one to watch over Xu Han. So he arranged for two other women who had experience in childbirth and could stabilize the situation if anything happened.

Xu Han and Lu Chuan have been living in the county town ever since they found out they were pregnant with twins.

The main problem is that the mountains are too far away, making things inconvenient in case of an emergency. There are no doctors or anything like that, and the risk factor is too high, so neither of them dares to live in the mountains anymore.

Life went on in an orderly fashion, and before we knew it, it was August.

After receiving the message from Lu Chuan, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao began preparing for their return journey.

They traveled from south to north, stopping frequently along the way, and it took them three months to finally reach home.

Of course, if they had been traveling continuously, it wouldn't have taken this long. The main reason was that during the journey, the Taoist priest and Grandpa Zhao would take the two children to see different scenery.

It also allowed them to get to know and become familiar with this society, and to witness some of the wickedness of human nature.

Ever since Xu Han learned that the others would be returning soon, she has been looking forward to their arrival every day.

The group of four returned before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

On the night of August 13th, just as Xu Han was about to go to sleep, she heard someone from below come and report that they had returned.

Xu Han was overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately stood up.

Perhaps because she was quite far along in her pregnancy, Xu Han had difficulty even getting up. With the help of Liu's arm, she was able to stand up.

With one hand supporting her waist and the other her stomach, she hurried to the front hall.

Liu called Chunmei over, and the two of them, one on each side, helped her to the front hall.

Lu Chuan was already waiting there. When he saw her coming, he quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Liu and Chunmei, being very perceptive, took a step back, leaving space for the couple.

"Weren't you supposed to go back to rest? Why did you come back?"

Xu Han was very excited. "As soon as I heard they were back, how could I sleep? I rushed over to see them. Where are they? I can't find them."

"He went to the restroom. Come on, sit down and rest for a bit. They'll be here soon." Lu Chuan said as he helped the person sit down in a chair, and then sat down next to him.

Seeing this, Chunmei quickly went forward to add tea, and the group waited together in the front hall for them to return from the restroom.

Sure enough, no matter who it is, the first thing they do when they travel far away is to go to the toilet. It's a curse that no one can escape.

While waiting, Xu Han inquired about the two children from Lu Chuan: "Have you seen them? How are Mu'er and Ze'er? Have they lost weight?"

“I just got back too, and I haven’t seen them yet. Don’t worry, we’ll see them soon. You can see for yourself then. I reckon they shouldn’t be too thin. They went on a journey, not to suffer. They should be fine except for being a little tired.”

Xu Han was about to say something when she heard two children calling from outside the door.

"Mother, Mother, Father, Father! We're back!" The brothers' voices grew louder and louder as they called out, and they were almost right in front of each other.

Upon hearing the first shout, Lu Chuan helped Xu Han to her feet.

The two children rushed in like the wind, and just as they were about to hit Xu Han, they braked suddenly and stopped a meter in front of her.

"Good children, let your mother see them quickly." Xu Han said as she reached out and hugged the two children into her arms.
