Chapter 159 Twins
Li'er, who was beside Feng, suddenly ran in, knelt down in front of Qin Boqing, and said with tears in her eyes: "Master! Master, please go and see the grandmother! The grandmother is crying so hard now, calling you master over and over again. Madam won't let me say anything, but I heard it from outside..."
Almost at the same time, a maid followed in from outside the door, bringing with her a few newly bought maids, and quickly dragged Li'er out. Qin Boqing stood up with a sullen face. The maid bowed to Qin Boqing, put on a flattering smile and said, "Giving birth is painful. Grandma, just cry for a while, you don't need to worry, the madam is in charge!"
Qin Boqing ignored her and shouted at the little girl, "Stop it! Who taught you this rule? How can you little girls touch the people around Grandma? Kneel down at the door and slap each of you eight times. Hurry! If you are busy at home and can't call anyone, you will be severely punished! Li'er, lead the way, I will go to see your Grandma now!"
The old woman had a sullen face, but she did not dare to stop Qin Boqing. She just hurriedly followed him out, muttering:
"I dare not do that. Madam has told me that I cannot even enter the courtyard now!"
Qin Boqing glared at her and said, "I'm already annoyed. If you do this again, I'll punish you too!"
"Brother, I'm going too!"
Mei Niang shouted, then turned to Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi and said, "You guys eat slowly, I'll go with my brother to take a look!"
Zhang Jingyun said: "Persuade him, don't panic too much, it's time!"
Mei Niang nodded, and Qin Boqing stopped at the door and waited for her: "Come on, sister! I don't believe there will be any evil spirits. If two people who depend on each other can't take care of each other at the critical moment of life and death, then they have lived in vain!"
"Yes!" Mei Niang was moved and stepped forward to hold Qin Boqing's left arm: "I'm with you. If anyone dares to stop me, I'll kick her away!"
As he said this, he glanced at the old woman. This old woman was just brought here by the sister-in-law to help, but she dared to control the master's family. She was honest and not afraid of death.
Seeing the brother and sister step out of the door, Mei Niang pulled Qin Boqing and disappeared in a blink of an eye. Xu Junying also wanted to get up and follow them. Zhang Jingyun smiled and said, "No need to go, just wait and see, they will be back soon!"
Xu Junying thought of the last time Xu Junlang's maid gave birth, and how Old Madam Xu had repeatedly forbidden any male in the palace to get close to her. In the palace, Sun Huiyun was the empress, but when she gave birth to the prince, the empress dowager stayed in the front hall to prevent the emperor from getting close. It seemed that Madam Qin should have been prepared, and Qin Boqing and Mei Niang might really not be able to enter Feng's room.
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, the brother and sister came in with their heads down. This time it was Qin Boqing who pulled Mei Niang. Qin Boqing's eyes were red, and Mei Niang pursed her lips, looking unconvinced.
Lingxuzi laughed and said, "Why are you back? Didn't you just kick it away when someone tried to stop you?"
Mei Niang shook off Qin Boqing and sat back in her seat: "Don't mention it! I could have dragged him in, but at the critical moment he didn't leave and pulled me back instead!"
Qin Boqing sat down beside her, his head lowered to his chest, and said in a choked voice: "Mother can do what she says. Do you really want her to kneel down?"
"But you heard my sister-in-law crying like that..."
Mei Niang watched as tears dripped onto the table. She could no longer bear to blame Qin Boqing. She sighed, took out her handkerchief and stuffed it into his hand:
"Cry, cry, we are all acquaintances, don't be afraid of being laughed at, it's just that Cui Xi is here!"
Qin Boqing quickly wiped his tears and said without even looking up: "Cui Xi, get out!"
Mei Niang chuckled: "Cui Xi went out a long time ago, I was just trying to comfort you, otherwise how long would you cry?"
"You!" Qin Boqing glared at her: "You still remember to tease me at this time. You were very well-behaved when you were a child, but now you have grown up to be so naughty and ignorant!"
Mei Niang pulled the handkerchief back from his hand and said seriously, "She must have heard you calling her sister-in-law twice just now, and she stopped crying immediately. It means you are thoughtful. Sister-in-law knows you are nearby, which is enough for her!"
Qin Boqing's eyes flickered, still full of worry: "I'm just afraid that she...can't bear it!"
Mei Niang pointed at Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi and said, "They are here. Jingyun and Lingxuzi don't say anything that they are not sure about. Brother, don't be too nervous or afraid. What the old woman said is also true - giving birth should be very painful. Brother, just take extra care of your sister-in-law in the future!"
The four men sitting around the table looked over together, meeting Xu Junying's complicated and warning gaze. Mei Niang realized that she had let something slip, and quickly added, "After I got sick, I don't remember many things, including giving birth... But Heng'er is indeed my son, that's right!"
Xu Junying and Zhang Jingyun lowered their eyes at the same time. Lingxuzi laughed. Qin Boqing glanced at Xu Junying and taught his sister a lesson: "You are talking nonsense again! Fortunately, you are in front of our own people. We know each other well and no one will argue with you. Don't be so outspoken outside - Heng'er is your and Lord Hou's eldest son, and everyone in the world knows it. If you say such things now, if someone with ulterior motives hears it, who knows what they will think! How many times has your brother taught you? Forget the past, forget it. You can choose not to answer or explain anyone who asks you anything. If you want to say something, think about it in your mind first to see if it is appropriate..."
"Brother!" Mei Niang interrupted him: "It's so hard to speak, why don't you let me be mute!"
"You!" Qin Boqing was irritated by her again and could not say a word.
Xu Junying said: "Brother-in-law's words make sense, listen carefully!"
Cui Xi brought in a maid to clean up the dishes and bring in water and tea. After Qin Boqing washed his hands and rinsed his mouth, he wiped the table and put the snacks on the table again. Qin Boqing had just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea when he was startled by the little maid who ran in to report the news and almost dropped the teacup.
The little girl ran with her face flushed. She bowed quickly to Qin Boqing and said in a clear voice:
"Congratulations, sir! Grandma gave birth to a baby! A girl!"
"How's Grandma?"
"Is grandma okay? I heard her talking inside!"
Qin Boqing threw the teacup on the table and grabbed Mei Niang excitedly: "Sister! Brother has a daughter today!"
Mei Niang chuckled: "Brother, you will have a daughter every day in the future!"
Qin Boqing knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't care about these things at this moment. Xu Junying, Lingxuzi and Zhang Jingyun all smiled and congratulated him. Qin Boqing was overjoyed and bowed repeatedly in return. He expressed endless thanks to Lingxuzi and Zhang Jingyun, but Mei Niang pulled him out:
"Hurry! Mother can't take care of us right now. We can just look out the door..."
"That's great! Go slower, sister!"
The brother and sister ran out again, and Lingxuzi said, "I also have several sisters. When I go back in the future, I wonder if I can be like the Qin brothers and sisters!"
Zhang Jingyun smiled and said, "They grew up together and never separated for a day before their sister got married, so their siblings naturally have a very deep bond. But you left home when you were only two or three years old, and you don't even know when your sister was born. It's hard to say whether they will recognize you as a brother!"
Xu Junying didn't want to discuss the relationship between siblings, so he stood up and walked out: "You two sit down and drink tea, I'll go take a look!"
Lingxuzi said, "Let's go together. It's time for us to go. There are two imperial doctors in the corridor and a midwife in the room. I will just boil another bowl of medicine for her to drink after the second young master or young lady is born!"
When the three of them reached the gate of Feng's courtyard, they heard a cheer. A woman from the Qin clan laughed and shouted, "It really is twins! This time it's a boy!"
Xu Junying looked at Zhang Jingyun and said, "You are worthy of your reputation. Your master should pass on the title of miracle doctor to you!"
Zhang Jingyun smiled and said, "I don't deserve it! My master wouldn't allow anyone to call him that!"
Qin Boqing and his sister were still stopped at the gate by the sisters-in-law on Madam Qin's orders. Xia Lian and Cui Si brought Heng'er over to join in the fun. Heng'er wanted to stick to Mei Niang when he saw her. Qin Boqing reached out to hug him, but he refused. Mei Niang held Heng'er in her arms and said to Qin Boqing with a smile, "You'll have to hold two later, so save some strength!"
Qin Boqing couldn't help but smile from ear to ear: "I want to hug them all, I want to hug them all! Heng'er and them are all the same in my heart..."
Seeing Xu Junying and the others approaching, he thought they didn't know yet, and hurriedly bowed and announced the good news: "Thanks to you all, a daughter and a son are here today... Thank you, Master Zhang and Master Xia. Without your peerless medical skills, I wouldn't be able to have such joy today!"
Zhang Jingyun, Lingxuzi and Qin Boqing were exchanging polite words. Mei Niang and Xu Junying looked at each other. Mei Niang, like Qin Boqing, was beaming with joy, but her eyes seemed to contain some metaphor. She glanced at Xu Junying's face and looked away. Xu Junying certainly understood what she meant. She was reminding him that she had solemnly asked him to help Qin Boqing, but he rashly threw it to his men to do. His men, in order to save time, dragged the weak scholar and the pregnant woman on a forced march, and almost took the lives of Qin Boqing and Feng. If she hadn't risked going out of the city to find Zhang Jingyun and Lingxuzi for rescue, there would not be such a happy event today!
Xu Junying's face flushed, and he silently took Heng'er from Mei Niang's arms. He was really ashamed at this moment. This matter had been churning in his heart more than once or twice. He had dealt with those soldiers, and Baoju was punished. At that time, he also sent Bai Zhan to ask the imperial physician to see him, but Mei Niang refused to believe the imperial physician, drove Bai Zhan away, and went to find Zhang Jingyun herself... He admitted that it was his fault. At that time, he had decided to let go of Mei Niang completely and didn't want to have anything to do with the Qin family at all. He was indeed too heartless. However, it can't be blamed on him entirely. At that time, his heart was still very bitter and painful. All the unwillingness, humiliation and depression were all pressed on his chest, and he couldn't confide it to anyone. It was already very good that he didn't go crazy.
Mei Niang, who was different from the past, invaded his life bit by bit. He used to be very panicked, afraid that he would fall into an irretrievable situation again. She was no longer his, he could not look back, could not regain his old feelings, but fate seemed to be playing a joke on him, he was attracted to her unconsciously, his reason and emotion betrayed him at the same time, his original idea changed again and again, from letting go to watching to staying together, changed again and again, until now he couldn't live without her. Who knows how many times of mental torment he has experienced?
