“I’ll try to bring one of your brothers with me. If there’s a chance, you two can meet privately. They’ve both been wanting to meet you for a long time!” Gu Zhe said.
"Don't they think I'm the daughter of your mistress?" Li Mai asked him doubtfully. Who would believe his claim of being a daughter from a past life?
"Haha, don't worry, there are four people in my family, except for your mother, all of whom are cultivators. They have seen the things in my space, and there are also photos of you in my space." Gu Zhe was amused by his daughter's little expression.
Li Mai: "......"
Okay, I guess I was overthinking it!
Gu Zhe said, "When the time is right, I'll take you to see the space, and you'll see."
After Gu Zhe left, Li Mai looked at Zhou Quan, who was holding and playing with his daughter, with a puzzled expression.
When this guy heard what she and Gu Zhe were saying, he didn't show any curiosity whatsoever, and he didn't even seem curious when he heard about the photos.
After his memories were sealed, whenever he heard a new word, he would curiously ask me what it was and want me to explain its meaning.
“Xiaomai, do you think Yanbao looks just like you when she looks at people with her eyes turned to the side? Yes, just like you right now, exactly like Yanbao, hehehe!” Zhou Quan suddenly turned around, hugged his daughter, and showed Limai his profile.
Li Mai happened to glance at him sideways, and to be honest, he really did look a bit like him.
Distracted by Zhou Quan, Li Mai turned her attention to her two children, and the two began observing their kids.
After the third-day-after-birth ceremony, anyone in the town who had any dealings with Li Mai or Zhou Quan would bring brown sugar, eggs, or other nourishing supplements to visit Li Mai.
Several women in the village who worked for Zhou Quan and Li Mai also asked Zhou Zhong to bring them gifts to visit Li Mai once.
Zhou Quan didn't want Li Mai to bother entertaining these people, so he told her to rest more while he met the visitors in his own room.
This past month, he's been handling all the business arrangements. If he's unsure about something, he just goes to ask Li Mai. Busy as he is, Zhou Quan feels that this kind of life is very fulfilling and happy.
For several days, he couldn't even recall the events of his previous life from hundreds of thousands of years ago. Although those events were still very clear to him each time he thought about them, he now felt that none of them were as important as his wife, children, family, and business.
Fortunately, during Li Mai's postpartum period, nothing major went wrong with family matters or business matters under Zhou Quan's arrangement, and everything proceeded according to Li Mai's plan.
...
March 8th was the day Zhou Lin and Xu Yue got married.
Li Mai was still in her postpartum period, and with the Zhou family celebrating their wedding, she couldn't offer any help.
Yun Chang and Xu Changhuan took over the task of taking care of Li Mai during her postpartum period in early March, and asked Zhao to go back to prepare for the wedding.
Fortunately, the Xu family knew about the Zhou family's current situation and sent two stewardesses to help Zhao Shi make preparations. Zhou Lin's marriage went very smoothly, and there was no breach of etiquette towards the Xu family.
On the eighth day of the third month, although Zhou Quan did not go to the Xu family as part of the wedding party, he stayed at the Zhou residence to help entertain the relatives and wait to welcome Zhou Lin back with his new wife.
Back home, Yun Chang and Xu Changhuan stayed with Li Mai, taking care of the two children.
Yun Chang was very envious of Zhou Quan for being able to have twins at once. He even secretly asked Zhou Quan what his secret was to having twins this time. Zhou Quan hesitated for a long time but couldn't tell him a method.
Today, taking advantage of Zhou Quan's absence, Yun Chang asked Li Mai again. Li Mai naturally couldn't answer, only telling him to sincerely treat his sister-in-law well, and that he would naturally have more and more children in the future.
Around noon, Zhou Quan and Zhou Lin went to pick up their brides and arranged for the guests. After reserving seats for Yun Chang and Xu Changhuan at the main table, Zhou Quan returned to keep Li Mai company and invited Yun Chang and Xu Changhuan to the wedding banquet.
Yun Chang and Xu Changhuan were initially reluctant to go, saying they would just eat something simple at home.
But Zhou Quan said that the matchmaker said that any young couples who want children should drink more at today's wedding banquet, because this is the day when the Flower Goddess descends to earth.
The wedding wine for the newlyweds even had a touch of ethereal beauty.
Upon hearing this, Yun Chang took Xu Changhuan over, not for any other reason than that he wanted to drink a few more cups of wine at the wedding.
After Yun Chang and Xu Changhuan left, Li Mai looked at Zhou Quan with a smile, "What's wrong with you? You used to not believe in these ghost and god tales, but now you're spouting nonsense and trying to persuade your older brother to come to the wedding?"
Zhou Quan chuckled, his eyes fixed on his wife. "Those people talk about it like it's some kind of magic, and lately my older brother keeps asking me how to have twins at once. I can only tell him to try his luck. Otherwise, how am I supposed to tell him it's possible to have twins at once?"
"Hehe, you're right." Li Mai sensed that what he was about to say might not be serious, so she simply conceded defeat. This guy was getting more and more mysterious and clever.
He used to seem simple and honest to her, but after becoming a father, he seemed strange to her.
The kitchen delivered Li Mai's lunch. After Zhou Quan soothed the two children to sleep, he ate lunch with Li Mai.
"Aren't you going to the wedding banquet over there?" Li Mai asked speechlessly, seeing him enjoying his postpartum meal so much.
"I'll go over when my older brother and sister-in-law get back. I've already had the wedding banquet. Everything's arranged. Lu Qian, Zhou Heng, and Zhou Zhong are all here!" He shook his head; spending time with his wife was the most important thing.
On such a joyous day, his wife couldn't attend, and she must feel lonely. He had to stay with her so she wouldn't feel lonely.
Now that he is surrounded by happiness, he can truly understand how lonely and desolate that kind of solitude can make one feel.
Since he said so, Li Mai went to sleep without worry, leaving him to look after the children.
It had been almost half a month since she gave birth, and she had finished all the spiritual liquid that Gu Zhe had given her. Her body had almost recovered, but Zhao Shi still wouldn't let her get out of bed too much and told her to lie down and rest more, saying that during the postpartum period, one should rest and recuperate for a full month.
Li Mai had just fallen asleep when voices came from the courtyard.
When Zhou Quan went out, he saw Nan Ling and the head of the Yu family, along with a teenager, talking to the steward.
When they saw him come out, the two of them looked over at him together.
Zhou Quan stepped forward, bowed to the head of the Yu family, and then bowed to Nan Ling, calling her "Sister Ling".
Nanling smiled. "Is Xiaomai asleep?"
"Yes, they just fell asleep. Have you had lunch?" Zhou Quan asked as he led them into the middle room.
"We've eaten. We ate at home and came over. We came back at noon and only then heard that your brother was getting married today. We thought there would be fewer people here at Xiaomai's place, so we decided to come and see her first," Nanling said with a smile.
Zhou Quan had the housekeeper serve tea, and after they had all drunk a cup, he led them to the room next to Li Mai to see the children and Li Mai.
Zhou Quan glanced at the boy following Nan Ling; this must be the son of the Yu family head.
