This was indeed a mystery that Fu Yunchen couldn't understand.
"It's not out of curiosity; I feel it's something I should know."
Mu Run drank a bowl of nourishing soup, expecting the ginseng flavor to be strong, but it turned out to be quite delicious.
"Getting pregnant with them was indeed unexpected, and you could say it was something with an extremely low probability." Mu Run looked at Fu Yunchen, "But just because the probability is low doesn't mean it can't happen."
Fu Yunchen listened attentively and very seriously.
Mu Run was reluctant to say it, but he had no choice but to. Indeed, as he said, he should know how a child is born.
He coughed lightly, thought about what to say next, and realized it was difficult to be tactful, so he went straight for the point: "When you and I were caressing each other, although we didn't actually go all the way, you did 'sprinkle seeds' more than once at, um... the doorway."
Fu Yunchen picked up a happy dumpling for her, and it fell onto the table with a 'thud'.
His gaze shifted to Huanhuan and Tuantuan on the bed.
"...This is okay?" Fu Yunchen was somewhat incredulous.
Mu Run nodded, "A man's seed has the ability to move. If I happened to be in a state where I was very fertile at the time, it might have entered me while it was moving around, thus making me pregnant."
Fu Yunchen understood each word she said, but when put together, it was hard to comprehend.
Mu Run continued, "Actually, this also shows that you are very strong. If I don't want children now, I'd better drink some contraceptive soup."
"Of course I want a child! If I get pregnant, I'll have the baby!" Fu Yunchen suddenly became a little nervous. "You don't mean you don't want it, do you?"
Mu Run tilted her head and looked at him, thinking for a moment, "Alright, let it be. These things aren't something you can have just because you want them, or something that won't come if you don't want them."
Fu Yunchen nodded and picked up another glutinous rice ball for her. "Try this one, it tastes good."
"Mmm." Mu Run took the food from his chopsticks and opened her mouth to eat.
Fu Yunchen was still somewhat incredulous, "Is it really that simple to get pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl?"
Mu Run nodded, "Yes. When I was a maid, bathing wasn't very convenient, so every time after we made love, I had to wait until dark to take care of myself, which increased the chances of getting pregnant."
Upon closer analysis, it seems impossible for her not to get pregnant.
Whether Fu Yunchen ultimately believed it or not, Mu Run didn't know, but setting aside all the impossible options, this seemingly absurd answer was actually the most truthful.
...
Watching Fu Yunchen pick up food for her one bite at a time, as if afraid she wouldn't have enough to eat.
Mu Run recalled a conversation her mother had with her in the modern world.
That day, she accompanied her mother to the market to buy groceries. On the way back, they overheard a couple arguing. The woman complained that the man had never spent a penny on her, and the flowers he gave her for Valentine's Day were picked from the greenery downstairs from her apartment. Meanwhile, the man was dressed head-to-toe in designer clothes and wore a Rolex. The woman also accused him of constantly breaking promises; they had made plans to celebrate her birthday a month in advance, but on the day itself, he made an excuse about work and couldn't be with her. It was a public holiday, and his friends had even posted photos of him drinking and singing on social media. Finally, the man accused the woman of being unreasonable, drove off in a mid-size car, showing no respect for her and leaving her to be stared at by onlookers.
Her mother told her that she should marry a man who values her and is willing to spend money and time on her.
Most men value money. If he's willing to spend money on you, it means that at least in his eyes, you're more important than money, which is far more valuable than anything else.
And spending time is even more valuable. Men never waste time on things they don't care about.
If you value her, respect her ideas, and protect and pamper her at all times, then don't even think about it, just marry her.
At that time, she didn't have anyone she liked, and she couldn't identify with anyone in particular.
Now she has Fu Yunchen, and according to her mother, Fu Yunchen has obviously already met the standard.
He was willing to spend money on her, all sorts of gold and silver jewelry, ornaments, jade, silks and satins... and countless silver notes starting at ten thousand taels each. A few days ago, while tidying up her dressing case, she found a thick stack of gold notes worth ten thousand taels each at the very bottom. She asked Madam Cai and learned that they were gifts from Fu Yunchen, along with the proceeds from selling tea over the years.
Fu Yunchen had actually kept all of that for her. Even though he was richer than her, no one would complain about having too much money.
She wanted to include her child in the family genealogy, but didn't want to herself. He was angry but let her have her way. When she agreed to marry him, he was overjoyed and immediately arranged to write the invitations himself, arranging the wedding within days. She didn't have to worry about a thing. If this wasn't spoiling her, she didn't know what true spoiling was.
Mom, she found a good man and was very lucky to marry him!
Fu Yunchen was a little puzzled when he saw her smiling at him. "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
"Yes, it's quite pretty," Mu Run said with a smile.
Fu Yunchen: "..."
Was he being harassed?!
"After we finish eating, I'll rest with the children. I still have some business to attend to in the council chamber."
"What's wrong? Tonight is our wedding night," Mu Run asked.
Seeing her playful and charming expression, Fu Yunchen reached out and touched her ear. "Who begged for mercy?"
Mu Run immediately turned pale. "No, no, I'll sleep well with the children. You go and do your thing."
"I'll come and keep you company after I'm done." Fu Yunchen took out a box of ointment from his pocket. "If you feel uncomfortable, just apply this."
Mu Run recognized the item and blushed deeply. "I understand, you should go now."
Fu Yunchen cleaned up the leftover food and dishes she had eaten, and said, "Go to sleep early."
"Mmm." Mu Run's eyes were filled with a happy and satisfied smile as she watched him leave and close the door.
Fu Yunchen's relaxed demeanor vanished the moment he stepped out of the courtyard of the new house, replaced by a guarded and tense atmosphere as he headed towards the council hall.
At this moment, all the hall masters except Lu Bingchao were present in the council hall, and Hongmi was also sitting in a relatively remote position.
But sitting to his left was a man from Feibian Yunzhai—Long Qian. Behind him stood Zi Wu.
Zi Wu raised his hand and scratched his face towel, feeling a little embarrassed. Because they weren't from around here, yet they had insisted on joining in the fun, and even with their thick skin, they couldn't quite withstand the blatant unwelcoming gazes.
Hongmi is the only woman in the council chamber. Her behavior is no different from that of a man, but she also has the meticulousness of a woman.
She walked up to Long Qian and asked, "Please forgive my poor eyesight, who is this distinguished guest?"
Long Qian laughed and said, "Who I am is a question for Fu Yunchen."
Fu Yunchen entered the council hall and said to everyone, "He is my younger brother, named Long Qian."
Everyone was astonished. Then, looking at Long Qian and Fu Yunchen again, they did seem to share a slight resemblance.
