"Then you can diagnose me now, but it doesn't matter to me whether it's a boy or a girl."
Although Lu Yuan said this, she actually preferred to have a son.
The Si family doesn't have a legitimate grandson yet, so the mother-in-law sincerely hopes that this time she'll have a son.
"I have to wait another two months before my unique skills can be checked."
"We have to wait two months?" Lu Yuan complained, "Xiao Yu, can't you just show it to me right away?"
There is a mobile ultrasonic detector on the top floor of the laboratory, but such a large device cannot be moved out directly!
"Xiao Yu, show me your unique skills now. You've aroused my curiosity."
Xiao Lingyu said, "It's not that we can't show it, but the fetus is still too small, so it may not be possible to diagnose it."
"It's okay, let's take a look first. If it doesn't work, we'll try again in two months."
Lu Yuan said as she lay down, took Xiao Lingyu's hand and placed it on her belly, "Come on, touch it."
Xiao Lingyu rubbed his forehead, truly shooting himself in the foot.
The only solution now was to let her fall asleep and then take out the ultrasound machine to check her belly.
"A Yuan, this unique skill can't be achieved by just touching with your hands. You also need to prepare some ointment to apply to your belly to make it smooth and slippery. Come to Fanghua Garden at 9:00 PM tomorrow and I'll give you a thorough diagnosis, okay?"
"Since we don't have to wait two months, let's do it tomorrow."
Xiao Lingyu returned to Fanghua Garden and sent the four father and sons to the lake to fish. Then he closed the doors and windows and slipped into the top floor of the research institute.
I tried the ultrasonic detector and everything worked fine. After cutting off the power supply, I moved it out of the space with my mind.
This modern device looks out of place in this quaint bedroom.
But there is no socket in the room, how to operate the equipment?
Xiao Lingyu thought for a moment and appeared in the bedroom of the space villa with the equipment.
The only solution now is to bring Lu Yuan into the space for inspection.
Then Xiao Lingyu put the medical coupling agent into a white ceramic bottle and left the space.
The moon is bright in the sky and everything is quiet.
Meng Zilu tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, all he could think of was Su Ningwen's lightly made-up face.
After a cup of tea, Meng Zilu got out of bed, put on his coat and went to the study.
Soon, the dim study was lit up.
Meng Zilu pulled out a long box made of wenge wood from the bookshelf behind the antique cabinet and took out a scroll from it.
The scroll was slowly spread out on the desk, and a portrait of a gentle and pretty young woman suddenly appeared in the field of vision.
If you look closely, you can see that the woman's eyebrows, ears and pink lips are about 70% similar to Su Ningwen without makeup.
"Wanwan, what a coincidence! I saw that child's lightly made-up face, and he looks a bit like you. His eyebrows are a bit thicker, and his cheeks are a little redder. I don't know if it's because he missed you too much, but he looks a lot like you... Were you pregnant with twins back then? One looks like you, and the other looks like me and a bit like our mother?"
Meng Zilu looked at the portrait in front of him and felt that it was very likely that Wanwan was pregnant with twins back then.
He still remembered that when he rushed back from the academy in a panic, he saw Song Wan, who was cold, covered in blood and had stopped breathing, and Qian'er, who was crying and wrapped in a small quilt.
Meng Zilu knelt in front of the bed holding her child and cried all night, and then slept for two days and two nights.
When taking care of Song Wan's funeral, he focused all his attention on the child and didn't think about this aspect at all.
But then I thought, if Wanwan gave birth to twins, the maids and nannies around her would definitely know about it.
How do you explain that Wen Ge'er looks like Wan Wan?
Is it really possible to look alike even if you are not related by blood?
Meng Zilu put the painting away and went to Meng Yunqian's yard with a lantern.
"Master, the young master has been asleep for half an hour."
When Song Wan's dowry wet nurse, Nanny He, saw Meng Zilu come in, she hurriedly stood up from the soft couch in the outer room and bowed.
Meng Zilu helped the man up and said, "Madam He, you don't have to be polite when you see me in the future. I'm sorry for taking care of Qian'er for these years."
"Master, this is my duty. Brother Qian is the only bloodline left by the young lady in the world. I shall do my utmost to fulfill my duty."
Meng Zilu glanced at Meng Yunqian who was sleeping soundly on the bed for a few seconds, then retracted her gaze after a while, "Madam He, I have something to ask you, come with me."
Nanny He gathered her coat and followed Meng Zilu to the stone table outside the yard.
Meng Zilu held the lantern and looked at Nanny He's round and smooth face. In his memory, this face looked more prosperous than when she entered the mansion four years ago.
Nanny He saw Meng Zilu staring at her and didn't speak for a long time, "Master, please tell me if you have anything to say."
"Madam He, tell me more about what happened on the day Wanwan gave birth."
Why did the young master suddenly bring up this matter?
Nanny He then told Meng Zilu what happened that day in detail.
Nanny He's words were still the same as before, "Nanny He, are you missing something?"
"Master, everything I say is true. I dare not lie. The young lady suddenly had a stomachache while praying outside the city and went into labor prematurely. It was extremely dangerous at the time. Fortunately, we were well prepared. The carriage happened to be parked by the river. I immediately arranged for someone to light a fire and boil water there, and also sent someone back to the mansion to pass on the message. I have experience in midwifery, so I delivered the baby with the maid Qinghe..."
Meng Zilu looked carefully at Nanny He's face, not missing a single expression on her face, "There should have been another child that day, right?"
Nanny He's heart skipped a beat. "No! The young lady only gave birth to Qian'er, a child. Qian'er grew fat in the womb, and his head was relatively large. He got stuck in the birth canal and couldn't come out. The young lady had no strength left at the time. If the fetus hadn't been born in time, it would have suffocated to death in the womb, and there might have been two deaths. That's why the young lady asked us to save the child..."
"Okay, I understand. Go back and rest."
After Nanny He took her leave and returned to her room, she had not yet had time to relax when the head maid Qinghe was called over by Meng Zilu.
That night, Meng Zilu summoned all the people who were present that year and questioned them.
Meng Zilu heard the same words as Nanny He, and felt a sense of loss.
He really hoped to hear them say that they gave birth to twins!
Hey! Why can't Brother Wen be his son?!
Meng Zilu came to Meng Yunqian's bed, leaned over and kissed his forehead, then covered him with a quilt before leaving.
When Nanny He saw Meng Zilu leave, she finally felt relieved.
Soon Qinghe entered the room.
"Mammy, why did the young master suddenly ask about what happened back then tonight? The young master never asked about this matter back then."
Nanny He pondered for a moment and said, "Today, Master Song and Madam Song brought their seven children to the Meng Mansion. Chunjiao is already eight years old, and her ears are becoming more and more like our young lady's."
Qing He suddenly realized something, "Master, do you think Master Qian doesn't look like him?
Nanny He looked up at her and asked, "Don't you think it's not like that?"
"She looks like Mrs. Song, especially her ears and eyebrows."
"That's right, the young master wouldn't doubt it, but he was indeed acting abnormally tonight. After thinking about it, I think it has something to do with the masked child from the Su family I saw in the dining hall today. Especially his ears, that's what's strange."
