The group returned from Huishan Temple and separated at the city gate. This time, it was Mu Siqing who saw Han Xu off, while Song Yanran was invited by her aunt Song Wei to go to the general's mansion.

Wen Jing took Wen Yu back home to rest for a while, and then went to Old Madam Wen's yard to have lunch with her. In the afternoon, he took Wen Yu to the palace to see the Queen Mother.

On the Mu family side.

Liu Ruyan had just returned to the general's mansion when her second aunt Rong Qing and the old lady came to see her. Madam Liu and Liu Ruyan were flattered. They didn't expect that even her grandmother, who didn't like to leave the yard, would come.

"Grandma, why are you here too? Yan'er was just about to go to your yard." Seeing the old lady coming, Liu Ruyan hurriedly wanted to go up and support her, but was rejected.

"Hurry up and sit down. You have to be careful with the child. Your second aunt will support your grandmother." The old lady saw Liu Ruyan was about to stand up and salute and quickly stopped her.

"Madam, you are the elder, how can Yan'er sit down? It is only right for her to greet you." Madam Liu said with a smile while supporting her daughter.

"We are at home now, so we don't care about those empty formalities. I just want my little grandson to be fine. Yan'er is now the key protected person of our Mu family." The old lady was helped to sit down by Rong Qing. She looked at Liu Ruyan with a loving face and even glanced at her belly.

"It is a blessing for Yan'er and the Mu family to have a generous elder like you. Who in our capital does not envy the family tradition of the Mu family? Ever since Yan'er got married, even I have been envied by the ladies when I go out for having such a good in-law." Madam Liu said this very beautifully. She not only praised the old lady, but also the Mu family.

"It's all thanks to Wei'er and Qing'er that they manage the household well. It's my son's blessing to marry such a good daughter-in-law." The old lady was very happy to be praised, but she knew that it was all the credit of the eldest and second daughters-in-law. Only when brothers are in harmony can a family last long.

"Grandmother, mother, and second aunt are the hardest working people in this family. Now we have our sister-in-law who is a great contributor." Murong Shu praised all the women in the family, and they felt a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Shu'er, please take your sister-in-law's pulse again. Will the bumpy ride in the carriage affect the baby?" Mu Sishu, who had no chance to speak, finally found the opportunity. What he was most concerned about now was Liu Ruyan's belly.

Mu Sishu's words made everyone laugh. Murong Shu also understood the nervousness of his future father, so he took Liu Ruyan's pulse directly.

Seeing that she started to take the patient's pulse, several people stopped talking and all looked at Murong Shu intently. Being watched by so many pairs of eyes, Murong Shu felt inexplicably a little nervous.

As soon as Murong Shu finished taking the pulse, Mu Sishu was eager to ask, but Liu Ruyan pulled his sleeve. Murong Shu did not keep them in suspense and told everyone directly, "Sister-in-law's pulse is very stable, and the child is also fine. I will give sister-in-law a detailed blood test tomorrow, so don't worry."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that the fetus was healthy. At this time, Mu Sishu asked foolishly, "Shu'er, your sister-in-law is afraid of pain, can you draw my blood for a test?"

Murong Shu was stunned by his brother's question. After a while, he found his voice and said, "Brother, it's my sister-in-law who is pregnant. Pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. Could it be that the pregnancy has transferred to you? Otherwise, Shu'er will also check my pulse."

Murong Shu's playful words made everyone laugh. Mu Sishu blushed quickly after he realized what was happening, but he then asked a silly question, "Sister, is your sister-in-law pregnant with a boy or a girl?"

Everyone who was laughing just now stopped talking and looked at Murong Shu with curiosity. Murong Shu was now a little worried about his eldest brother's IQ.

Murong Shu circled around his eldest brother a few times, and then joked, "Shu'er's medical skills have not yet reached the level of knowing the gender of a baby by feeling the pulse, but my master once said that the gender of a baby is determined by the man, and has nothing to do with the woman, so eldest brother thinks that my sister-in-law is pregnant with a boy or a girl."

Murong Shu's words left everyone dumbfounded. They had never heard of such a statement before. But when they heard that it was said by Shan Gu Taoist, they believed it to be true. Shan Gu Taoist was the scapegoat for Murong Shu.

"It must be a daughter. I like daughters." Mu Sishu is now very confident in himself.

"There is also a saying that a smart mother will give birth to a son first, and a smart father will give birth to a daughter first. Big brother, do you think you are smart or your sister-in-law is smarter?" Murong Shu asked Mu Sishu with a smile. Anyway, if he wanted a daughter, he had to admit that he was smarter than his wife. Mu Sishu was embarrassed.

Mu Sishu stuttered for a long time but couldn't say anything, but everyone had already compared who was smarter between the two in their minds, and at the same time made a judgment on the gender of the fetus.

Madam Mu and Song Wei both thought it was a daughter, Madam Liu and Rong Qing thought it was a son, and even Song Yanran secretly looked at the two of them and tried to guess the gender.

"If you give birth to a boy, you will be rewarded. If you give birth to a girl, you will be rewarded a lot. If she looks like her aunt, she will be rewarded even more." The old lady was so excited at the thought of having a little great-granddaughter as cute as Shu'er.

Obviously Song Wei and Rong Qing also thought so. It was a regret for the whole family that Murong Shu did not get to see her grow up. If Ruyan could give birth to a little girl like Shu'er, one can imagine how favored she would be in the Mu family.

Mrs. Liu had obviously thought of all this, and at this moment she was also looking forward to her daughter giving birth to a daughter, since she would have a son later anyway.

The Mu family is different from other noble families. They obviously hope that their daughter will be a girl this time.

"Okay, sister-in-law has been traveling a long way, so let brother take you back to rest first. I also need to write a pregnancy diet plan for you. Your morning sickness isn't very severe right now, so try to reduce it as much as possible." Murong Shu is full of energy now, as it's finally his family member's turn to get pregnant.

"Shu'er, thank you for your hard work. If you want anything, I'll buy it for you!" Mu Sishu didn't know how to express his love for his sister. He usually just gave her money and did his best to help her when she needed help.

"We're a family, so there's no need to be polite. Second brother should learn a little bit from me later. Maybe it will be useful soon." Murong Shu was really joking, but Second Aunt's eyes lit up.

"Shu'er is right. Except for Xiaoliu, everyone should learn from your eldest brother how to be a responsible husband." Rong Qing glanced at Mu Siqing and Song Yanran while saying these words.

Song Yanran felt a little confused by the look on her face. She was talking about her cousins, so why would Second Aunt look at her, even though she was also at the age to get engaged?

When Murong Shu looked at her second aunt and her mother, a terrible idea came to her mind. It must not be what she thought. It seemed that she had to take some time to ask her second brother and cousin what they really thought, so as not to end up making things worse and causing tragedy.

The few of them were chatting happily when the servant came in a panic and reported, "Old Madam, Madam, Second Madam, someone came from the palace and told Miss Five to go to the front hall to receive an order."
