Chapter 134 The First Marriage is Better Than the First Marriage
Ning Wanrong was both shocked and furious. She questioned Fu Qing about the woman's identity. "She is my cousin. Her husband died in battle and she came to live with me. We accidentally had a child together, and I have already planned to marry her as my second wife."
"I went through so much to give birth to your child, how could you treat me like this?"
"How have I treated you? Didn't I still make you my legal wife?"
Only Fu Qing himself knows how much of his words were intentional.
Since leaving Ning Yan, he has had no interest in that kind of thing, and he even had to force himself to refrain from having relations with the women around him.
Yes, she wasn't his cousin; she was just a tool he used to annoy Ning Wanrong.
He only breathed a sigh of relief when the woman became pregnant. Now she is almost four months pregnant, and the doctor said she is carrying a boy. He will go to the military camp after she gives birth safely.
You can't escape it sooner or later, so you might as well gain experience while you're young.
Ning Wanrong looked at Fu Qing as if she were looking at a heartless man—no, she was looking at a heartless man.
Unfortunately, Fu Qingzhen didn't care and let them think what they wanted.
The woman soon became Fu Qing's concubine.
Ning Wanrong wanted to harm the child in her womb, but unfortunately, Fu Qing protected her tightly, and she had no way to stop him.
...
In early May, Ning Yan went into labor.
The female doctor was very excited because Ning Yan was pregnant with triplets. In all her years in the military, she had never even seen twins, let alone triplets. If the babies were born safely, her birth quota would be settled in one go.
So for the past few months, they have been taking very good care of her, eagerly awaiting the day the lady would give birth.
In early May, Ning Yan was sweating profusely from the pain, but thankfully the babies didn't cause her too much trouble. In less than an hour, all three babies were born.
"Madam, you have two sons and a daughter. The two older ones are sons, and the younger one is a daughter."
Ning Yan glanced at the three little children and then lay back down. She was genuinely tired and hungry.
She had been pregnant with three children, which had already taken up a lot of space in her stomach. Now that she had given birth, she felt her stomach was very empty. "Bring me something to eat."
The female physician had already instructed people to prepare food suitable for new mothers. As soon as Ning Yan gave the order, the servants brought in the food.
Having arrived at the frontier, the variety of wild beast meat available was abundant and fresh. The people here were also remarkable, having thoroughly researched the effects of different types of beast meat. Today's dishes, for example, were beneficial for postpartum recovery. The cook was skilled, and the food she prepared was delicious. Ning Yan ate most of the food before putting down her chopsticks.
The female physician took Ning Yan's pulse again. "Madam is in excellent health. As long as she takes good care of herself during her postpartum period, it will not affect her future childbirth."
Ning Yan: ...She just gave birth to one child, and she's already thinking about the next one?
"Has someone been sent to the military camp to inform the Duke?"
“You sent people when you launched the attack, but the Duke was not in the military camp. I heard he was leading troops out to hunt down the ferocious beasts.”
Ning Yan didn't care whether he was there or not. There were servants in the house, and the wet nurse was ready. She just needed to take good care of her health.
The triplets were too small for her to hold. "Tell the wet nurses who are taking care of them to be careful. If they are well taken care of, I will reward them handsomely."
Xiangling hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Madam. The Duke has warned them many times beforehand. As long as they're not stupid, they'll know what to do."
Wen Xiangyan didn't return until the day before Ning Yan's full moon celebration. As soon as he got back, he went straight to Ning Yan's room.
Seeing that she was actually sitting on the bed, he immediately said nervously, "Why are you sitting up? I heard from the female doctor that you can't do anything during postpartum confinement and you have to rest properly. You should lie down quickly."
Ning Yan leaned against the headboard as he suggested, because if she didn't lie down soon, he would reach out and press her down. "I'm fine, you go and check on the children."
Wen Xiangyan sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand and saying, "When can't I see the children? I want to see you right now."
You've given me three children, you've done so much for me. This time I brought back a lot of wild animal meat that's good for new mothers, you should eat plenty.”
Ning Yan laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll become a big fat woman after my postpartum period?"
“Fatty is also my dear wife, and a great contributor to our Duke’s mansion. As long as you are healthy, it doesn’t matter if you are a little chubby.”
"She came back from her trip and her mouth can talk again! By the way, how was the search for the ferocious beasts with my husband this time?"
Speaking of this, Wen Xiangyan had a lot to say: "This time, I owe it all to the cultivation manual you gave me."
As early as after their marriage, Ning Yan gave the cultivation manual she had written to Wen Xiangyan.
He's still my man, after all. Every bit of strength he gains increases my safety.
Wen Xiangyan didn't ask her where the technique came from; it looked pretty good, so he started practicing it.
He had good physique and progressed very quickly in his training. After asking Ning Yan, he passed on the technique to his confidants and guards.
Over the past six months, at least the strength of the people under his command has increased by five cauldrons.
This time, he was ordered to search for the lair of a ferocious beast, but he accidentally wandered into a relatively large lair and was surrounded.
Their team of two hundred men faced thousands of ferocious beasts and held out for two hours before reinforcements arrived. Although more than a dozen of them were injured, all of them survived.
Everyone is saying that if their overall strength hadn't increased so much, they would have become food for the ferocious beasts this time.
Just then, the sound of a baby crying came from the nursery. Wen Xiangyan immediately ordered someone to bring the baby over. He dared not hold the baby, but looking at the children's cute little faces, he was overjoyed!
"I'll hold them when they're a little older. I'm really afraid of hurting such small children."
The wet nurses were amused. In the past month, the three babies had gained almost three pounds, much bigger than when they were born, and the Duke still didn't dare to hold them.
After glancing at the three children, Wen Xiangyan dismissed them again.
There's something I'd like to discuss with you.
Ning Yan smiled and said, "Why are you eyeing my martial arts technique?"
Wen Xiangyan: "It's not that I'm worried, but this time when something happened, the Crown Prince personally led troops to meet us. Given the number of ferocious beasts, we couldn't have held out for that long, so he asked me."
I didn't hide anything and told the truth. The Crown Prince then said, "That technique is so good, could it be implemented in the army?"
If possible, the strength of the Great Xuan army would surely increase greatly, and perhaps one day they could truly wipe out all the ferocious beasts within their territory.
It's quite amazing.
The Xuanwu Continent is very large. There are about thirty or forty countries of all sizes on this continent. Each country has ferocious beasts, but these beasts only stay in their own territory and do not roam around the world.
It's as if the laws of nature have placed a shackle on them, preventing them from crossing the boundary.
Therefore, as long as the ferocious beasts within one's own country are eradicated, there is no need to fear beasts from other countries coming to wreak havoc on one's own country.
However, in the past two thousand years, no country has been able to completely eradicate these beasts. There's no way around it; the beasts are just too prolific. Humans usually give birth to one child at a time and then carry the pregnancy for ten months.
