Chapter 518 You Asked for It by Being Mute for Three Days
As soon as the word "divorce" was uttered, Mrs. Xie turned into a speechless stone sculpture, not knowing how to react. Xu Yu, on the other hand, looked normal and even called her mother-in-law in a good mood.
Mrs. Xie stood up helplessly and awkwardly: "Young people don't know the taboos. Don't say such unlucky and foolish things."
Xu Yu nodded his head in agreement. After escorting the restless Madam Xie out, he went back into the house and said slowly, "Zhizhi, what did your mother-in-law say to you again?"
"What else could it be?"
Sang Zhixia glanced at Xu Yu, who was walking against the light, with a half-smile, and said subtly, "How likely is it that you can enjoy the blessing of having two wives?"
This was not the first time that Mrs. Xie reminded Sang Zhixia of this.
Love between men and women is the most illusory thing in the world and has no solidity at all.
It is not difficult to make a vow, but there are only a handful of people who can really stick to it for a lifetime.
Mrs. Xie had seen many changes in people's hearts and the fickleness of the world, and she couldn't help but worry about Sang Zhixia's future.
The human heart cannot be controlled.
It has been like this since ancient times.
Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu are very close now, but who can predict the future?
Sang Zhixia knew that Mrs. Xie's reminder was not malicious, but she had been accustomed to being cautious for half her life and inertia was taking over.
But after hearing this kind of talk so many times, Sang Zhixia couldn't help but want to tease Xu Yu: "You really don't want to?"
"They say a man's happiness lies in having many wives and concubines, all fat and thin, in his arms. Don't you have even the slightest thought of that?"
Xu Yu bent down and skillfully teased the sleepy little creature in the cradle, saying lazily, "Zhizhi, are you talking about sleeping drunkenly on a beautiful woman's lap?"
Sang Zhixia gave a teachable smile, which was rewarded with a playful look from Xu Yu: "I thought I already was."
"Um?"
Sang Zhixia raised her eyebrows suspiciously.
Xu Yu walked forward with a smile, lowered his head and bit the tip of Sang Zhixia's nose as if punishing her, and said vaguely: "I not only slept on the lap of a beauty, I also won her heart."
"What do you think?"
Sang Zhixia realized what he said, was stunned for a moment, laughed, and pushed the person who opened his mouth to bite away: "Go to hell."
"You're already a father, but you can't say a single serious word."
Xu Yu smiled proudly instead of ashamed. He reached out and picked up the whimpering baby in the cradle. His fingers restlessly poked the baby's fair and tender face. He tilted his head and smiled with a dagger hidden in his smile: "Zhizhi, when I came back, Xu Mingyang said that the names of Nuonuo and Yuanbao have been decided?"
It has been a month since Sangzhi Xia Ping'an gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl.
Because the elders in the family believed that the children's full names should not be taken lightly, they only let Sang Zhixia and Xu Yu decide on nicknames for the time being.
Sang Zhixia was in charge, and her daughter was named Nuonuo.
Xu Yu named his son Yuanbao, a not very elegant name, with the intention that it would be a folk slang name that would be easy to raise.
As for the name, the old man stayed at home for a whole month because he was busy deciding on a name for the child. When passing by the study door, all you could faintly hear was the rustling of pages and the fierce arguments between the old man and Mr. Qi.
Xu Yu originally thought that as a father, it was his duty and that such responsibility should fall on his shoulders.
Who would have thought that before he could find a chance to join the battle, Old Qi slapped him with a mute potion and threw him out of the study along with the potion. Then, waiting for him was the murderous whip in the old man's hand, which was very intimidating.
The unconvinced and stubborn Xu Yu was silenced for three days by Mr. Qi, and was forced to withdraw with regret.
Uncle Xu, who originally wanted to show off his literary talent, was good at observing the situation. Seeing that the situation was not good, he decisively shut his mouth and let the old man and Old Qi, who did not dare to provoke him, continue to compete with each other in the study.
There was a heated debate in the study, and the last few names selected were sent to Sang Zhixia, who made the final decision.
Sang Zhixia thought about the recent excitement and found it a bit funny. She glanced at the particularly impatient Xu Yu as a warning and said, "It's settled."
"Nuonuo's name is Xu Jinning, and Yuanbao's name is Xu Yuchu."
Holding jade in hand, I feel peaceful at dawn.
The old man and Mr. Qi considered it over and over again before deciding on the name, but when it was brought out, Xu Yu didn't like it very much.
Xu Yu teased the blinking little Yuanbao in his arms and sneered, "So, after being mute for three days, you only managed to come up with these few words?"
"Do you dare to look at our Yuanbao with a clear conscience and say that what you come up with will definitely sound better?"
Sang Zhixia had no intention of giving Xu Yu any face. When she thought that soon there might be a little face that looked like Xu Yu being called Xu Yuanbao, the corners of her mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"You asked for it by being mute for three days. I advise you to stop struggling."
If I continue to struggle, I might be mute for more than three days.
Xu Yu's eyes darkened and he snorted without answering. When the little Yuanbao in his arms was about to cry, he suppressed his laughter and put the little guy back into the cradle. He turned around and looked at Xu Jining, whose face was rosy as she slept, with a loving look in his eyes: "Names and surnames are all external things. Why should a man be so fussy about them?"
"I didn't call him Iron Hammer Pillar, so why is that shameful?"
Sang Zhixia snorted, saying she was too lazy to do it. Seeing that he was itching to poke Xu Jining's face again, she couldn't stand it any longer: "Xu Yu, if you cry, comfort him yourself."
Xu Yu withdrew his hand in frustration. Before he could even try to defend himself, he heard Sang Zhixia say, "I've been locked up at home for over a month. How's Chen Jing'an's injury healing?"
Sang Zhixia felt that although she was called confinement, she was actually in solitary confinement.
In the past month, the farthest she went out was to the yard, and she spent most of her time inside the house.
As for what's happening outside...
Everyone in the family, big and small, is busy, but their mouths are as shut as paste, and they are speechless when asked. They are determined not to say anything.
For the first time, Sang Zhixia felt what it was like to be isolated and helpless with no one to ask. The only person who could still find out some details was Xu Yu.
Xu Yu felt itchy when he saw the two babies in the cradle, but he didn't dare to touch them because of the warning in Sang Zhixia's eyes. So he simply moved closer to Sang Zhixia and rubbed his chin against her shoulder.
As soon as he opened his mouth, his breath hit Sang Zhixia's earlobe. He spoke softly, "Thanks to the drastic medicine that Master Qi dared to use, Chen Jing'an's life has been saved. He probably won't die for another thirty to fifty years."
However, the serious injury requires a long period of recuperation. For at least the next six months, he will be like a disabled person and will not be able to move around much longer.
Sang Zhixia's eyebrows jumped, and her gaze turned to Xu Yu: "What about yours?"
"Are all your injuries healed?"
Sang Zhixia noticed something was wrong that day a month ago, but she didn't have time to ask.
Later, a lot of things happened in a mess, and Xu Yu was always good at making jokes, so Sang Zhixia had to wait until today to seize the opportunity.
Xu Yu's breathing suddenly became lighter. He fiddled with Sang Zhixia's earlobe with his fingers and said vaguely, "I only have some minor skin injuries. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"If you don't believe me, just smell it. I don't smell like medicine anymore."
Sang Zhixia said with a forced smile, "The scent of the powder has faded a lot. It seems you don't like incense anymore lately?"
Xu Yu laughed muffledly a few times and buried his face in Sang Zhixia's shoulder, obviously wanting to get away again.
Sang Zhixia pushed a few times but failed to move the person. She sighed helplessly and said, "Where's the farm?"
"Have you arranged everything over there?"
"It's almost done."
Xu Yu said nonchalantly, "We didn't find many clues on the day of the incident, but the clues we planted afterwards worked, and we almost know who did it."
