"It was indeed only one month," Su Qinghe confirmed.
Seeing Ji Yuan's brows furrow instantly, she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Is it very different?"
Ji Yuan nodded hesitantly, then turned to look at Ling Feng with some embarrassment.
"Young Master Ling, may I take a closer look? I only saw a rough outline just now, so I'm not entirely sure."
Ling Feng nodded upon hearing this and took the initiative to get up and walk to his side.
There were no women in the room other than Su Qinghe. After ordering the hall doors to be closed, Ling Feng took off his somewhat heavy outer robe.
"It's so big!"
Seeing that Ling Feng already had a belly two-thirds the size of his own, Ji Yuan covered his mouth in shock.
Normally, a pregnant man who is one month pregnant wouldn't have such a big belly!
The large outer robe had already made it look rather big, but it turned out to be much bigger than he had expected.
Seeing Ling Feng's slightly protruding belly, the others also showed expressions of surprise.
Qin Ange ran to Ling Feng's side in a few steps and stared wide-eyed at his lower abdomen.
"Recently, two more of my brothers-in-law have become pregnant. Including the four before, their bellies were only this small when they were a month pregnant, I could hardly tell. But Ling Langjun's is really big!"
As he spoke, he spread his hands out to show the size, and the arc of his hands looked less than half the size of Ling Feng's current size.
"Could it be because Ling Langjun is having a chubby baby this time? That's why his belly is so big?"
Although she disliked Ling Feng, Ji Qingyu still expressed her concern because it concerned Su Qinghe's offspring.
However, having been raised in seclusion since childhood, he had rarely seen pregnant men, so the things he could think of when he saw this situation were quite simple.
However, most of the people around him were obviously inexperienced, and they actually started to seriously think about his question. Even Ling Feng had a sliver of hope in his heart.
Seeing this, Lin Xi frowned and shook her head in disapproval.
"No, it's only been a month. No matter how much the fetus grows, it can't grow this big. There are quite a few pregnant women in our village every year, and the oldest one is only a little over half the size of this. I've never seen one this big before."
He reached out and touched Ling Feng's lower abdomen with concern. Ling Feng's body stiffened, but he did not flinch.
"This is very strange, my lady. Why don't you ask a doctor to come to the manor to take a look?"
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Ji Yuan became even more worried and turned to look earnestly at Su Qinghe.
Judging from the wife's reaction during lunch, she didn't seem to like the child very much, but no matter what, it was still the wife's child, and he didn't want anything to happen.
Instead of immediately answering Ji Yuan's request, Su Qinghe first looked at Ling Feng, who had remained silent.
What are your plans?
Upon hearing the question, Ling Feng clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and didn't know how to speak.
“Young Master, after all, having offspring is the biggest objective this time. I think it would be better to tell Patriarch Su. After all, Patriarch Su is capable of creating so many novel things, perhaps she has a solution?”
Xiao Ying whispered advice in Ling Feng's ear.
Ling Feng's heart stirred, and he looked up at Su Qinghe. Seeing that she was still earnestly waiting for his reply, he actually felt a sense of hope.
After thinking for a moment, he lowered his eyes and said, "I ate two medium-sized pregnancy fruits the other day."
"Two at a time?"
Lin Xi and Ji Yuan both gasped in shock, their eyes widening.
"Can't we eat like this?" Su Qinghe asked, puzzled, seeing their behavior.
Wouldn't having two tickets increase your chances of winning?
Upon hearing her question, not only Lin Xi and her companion, but also Ji Qingyu and Qin Ange nodded in affirmation.
"How can you give Ling Langjun two at once? Even if Ling Langjun is eager for children, you can't just indulge him like this!"
Ji Yuan looked at Su Qinghe reproachfully, his eyes full of worry.
Su Qinghe choked, about to explain, but Ling Feng had already come to his rescue.
"It's not her fault. She didn't know. I ate it myself because my family was pressuring me to eat it."
His tone was calm, because he already knew that Su Qinghe had explained her situation to them, so he didn't hide anything.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan realized that he had misunderstood Su Qinghe and quickly apologized to her. He then looked at Ling Feng with a complicated expression but did not say anything more.
“I’ve never heard of anyone eating two at once. The elders all say that it’s bad, as it can easily cause a difficult labor for the pregnant man. My older sister has been married for several years without children and doesn’t allow her husbands to do that.”
Qin Ange spoke earnestly about the instructions given to her by her elders, her gaze towards Ling Feng filled with even more admiration.
Lin Xi also shook her head.
"I've never seen it before. It's mainly because the fruit is expensive, and villagers wouldn't buy two at a time, so there's no such thing as giving one to one's husband."
"But I've heard from the older folks in the village that there are significant risks involved in producing food this way."
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Ji Qingyu looked completely bewildered.
"Really? My father never told me any of this. He only said that eating one would allow me to have a baby. I thought I could only eat one!"
After listening to the explanations from the men, one after another, Su Qinghe looked serious.
"So, eating two fetuses will make them grow very big?" As she spoke, her gaze returned to Ling Feng's stomach.
"no."
Seeing that none of them knew, Ji Yuan looked worried and sighed softly. Looking at Ling Feng's belly, the worry in his eyes seemed to have solidified into a tangible form.
"The fetus is still in the womb. No matter how much it grows, it will only be that size. And it takes time to grow gradually. It won't grow like this in just one month."
"It can only be that she is pregnant with twins, that's why it's so big. I heard it from my great-grandfather."
Su Qinghe was taken aback. Twins? That means twins, right?
"Does Brother mean he's pregnant with two babies?"
Ji Qingyu stared incredulously at Ling Feng's belly, wanting to reach out and touch it but feeling too embarrassed to do so. She rubbed her hands together and finally could only clench the fabric of his clothes tightly on both sides.
"Yes, that's how it is, barring any unforeseen circumstances." Ji Yuan nodded with a serious expression.
Qin Ange was puzzled.
"Isn't this great? You can have two children with just one birth. Everyone around here is so envious!"
"Because it will be a difficult birth!" Lin Xi suddenly realized, and grabbed Su Qinghe's hand tightly with some fear.
"My lady, what should we do with Ling Langjun now?"
Su Qinghe lowered her eyes in thought, then turned to look at Ji Yuan. "Aren't there any exceptions?"
Ji Yuan shook his head slightly. "I've never seen it before, and very few people eat like this."
“But what I hear most of is…” A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
"Either the mother dies from postpartum hemorrhage, or... the baby can't be delivered at all, resulting in the loss of three lives..."
As he spoke of this, it was as if he was recalling the bloody scene, and he trembled slightly with fear.
"ah!"
All the men present gasped in shock, and Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat.
