Yao Susu had no choice but to sit down as she was told.
The old lady looked at the bulging belly and smiled from ear to ear. She wanted to go forward and touch her darling grandson: "I heard from Ziling that it's almost four months. It's bigger than that of an ordinary woman. I think it's because your pregnancy is stable."
At this moment, Xu Zekun's smile deepened as he said, "I didn't have time to tell my mother that Susu's pregnancy was obvious because she was carrying twins."
As soon as the word "twins" came out, the old lady was immediately overwhelmed. This was a great blessing! The surprise came so suddenly. She had been looking forward to grandchildren for so many years, and Su Su was pregnant with twins! How could she not be excited? She knew that Su Su was a lucky person!
"Seriously? You're not kidding me?"
Seeing that his mother didn't believe him, Xu Zekun felt helpless. He looked at Yao Susu with gentle eyes and said, "Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, just ask Susu." Even when he was on the road, Xu Zekun did not forget to ask a doctor to take Yao Susu's pulse. Yao Susu was obviously pregnant, and the pulse of the twins was also easy to feel. However, there was no time to send a message, so he did not tell Mrs. Wu.
Seeing that the old lady's eyes were all focused on her, Yao Susu felt a little shy and nodded slightly, revealing a little bit of her pink chin and a faint blush on the tips of her ears.
Mother Zheng couldn't help but look at Aunt Yao again. Twins are not common, so she is really blessed.
She had watched the prince grow up since he was a child, and when she came back this time, she immediately felt something was different.
In the past, the prince was cold, mature beyond his years, dignified and self-possessed. Now he always smiles, which shows how happy he is.
The most important thing was that the way the prince looked at Aunt Yao was different. It was so soft and so sickening. She had never seen the prince look at a woman like this before.
"Good, good, good." Wu said "good" three times in a row, clapped her hands, and said to the servants: "Come here! Hurry and tell the Marquis this good news!"
She hadn't expected Yao to be so lucky. These were twins! She had to take good care of them. To be on the safe side, Wu asked the court doctor to diagnose Yao Susu. The diagnosis was confirmed, and the fetuses had a strong pulse and were in a very stable state. Only then did Wu feel relieved.
Holding Yao Susu's hand, he said, "You are a hardworking person. It's worth my efforts to find you to join the mansion."
Yao Susu acted with measured steps. She raised her eyes to glance at Xu Zekun before lowering them and shyly saying, "It's all thanks to the old lady's kindness."
The more Wu looked at it, the happier she became. She sent Yin Zhu away and said, "Go! Bring me the Ziyannuan jade bracelet from my box."
Yin Zhu was a little surprised when he heard this. Just when he was about to open his mouth to confirm, the old lady added, "Go quickly!" It was obvious that she was extremely happy.
Yin Zhu quickly agreed. Before entering the house, he glanced at Aunt Yao again and secretly sighed that her belly was really good. The county lady had been married for five years and still hadn't conceived a boy or a girl, but she was pregnant with twins.
Yao Susu felt a little frightened. When Yin Zhu brought the bracelet, the old lady smiled and uncovered the red cloth on it. She saw that the bracelet was made of warm jade with a glossy luster. What was even more rare was that it was faintly purple all over, which was very rare.
It was obvious that it was a priceless treasure, so he quickly declined, saying, "Madam, you can't use it...it's too valuable."
Wu said without hesitation, "Why not? You're pregnant, and you've fulfilled my long-cherished wish. You're a hero to the Xu family."
As soon as the bracelet was put on the hand, it felt cool at first and then warm, but the coolness was not biting, but delicate and soft. From the way the old lady looked at the bracelet, you could tell that it was an old item in her hand.
I'm afraid it must have been polished all year round that it looks so smooth and shiny, as if it is about to ooze out oil.
The jade bracelet set off the fair wrist. The old lady looked very satisfied. She patted Yao Susu's hand and smiled at the corners of her eyes: "Warm jade nourishes people, it suits you to wear."
"Since mother has given you a reward, just keep it." Xu Zekun was watching from the side and saw that Yao Susu was still a little frightened, so he spoke out.
Yao Susu did not refuse anymore, smiled gently and thanked him.
Mrs. Wu knew that a pregnant woman could not bear the fatigue. Although the fetus seemed to be stable, she had been traveling for a month. So she spoke to Yao Susu for a few words, gave her many nourishing and fetal-strengthening things, and asked her to return to Yingxue Pavilion to rest.

Sandalwood was burning in the three-legged incense burner in the center of the main room. In the brazier with a carved gold hollow cover, the silver charcoal occasionally made a slight crackling sound, and the whole room was warm.
Mrs. Wu held Xu Zekun's right hand and looked at it carefully. The knife wound had already scabbed over, but in Mrs. Wu's eyes, it was still shocking. The pain in her son's body was felt by her mother. Mrs. Wu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Finally, you're back safely. You must have had a hard time during those few months you were away."
Mother Zheng also smiled and said, "Now that the prince is back, the old lady can finally rest assured and sleep well at night."
Xu Zekun felt warm in his heart and comforted his mother, "It is my honor to work for His Majesty. It is not hard at all."
Wu nodded. Yes, this matter was important. The fact that the emperor sent Zi Ling was enough to show how much he valued Zi Ling. She couldn't complain.
The mother and son chatted for a while, and Xu Zekun suddenly seemed to remember something and said with a smile, "Son, I still want to ask you something."
"oh?"
"Ms. Yao is newly pregnant. She's young, and this is her first child." Xu Zekun smiled softly, his handsome face as gentle as jade under the candlelight. "My son is worried that there might be something she can't take care of, and I'm a little worried. I'd like to ask you to pick an experienced woman to take care of her for a few months. What do you think?"
In fact, this is against the rules. Although Yao is pregnant, she is a concubine after all. Even Fang Yanran does not have an old mother to serve her.
