"How come?"

Du Jingyi looked stunned, but Shuxiu said with a smile.

"Of course not. The fourth lady of our mansion gave birth to two boys who looked very similar. When I first entered the mansion, I couldn't tell them apart."

Her words completely made Du Jingyi and Yingtao suspicious.

In theory, there had never been any twins in the Du family for three generations, and Du Jingyi had never heard of it in her long time in the Duke's Mansion, so she didn't even think about it.

If Shuxiu hadn't mentioned it today, I'm afraid she wouldn't have thought of this.

Yingtao had a worried look on her face, looking better than her young mistress Du Jingyi, and then she asked apprehensively.

"But twins, since ancient times, haven't they been... not a bit unlucky?"

After hearing this, the scholar smiled and said comfortingly.

"Don't worry, Madam. If a military family like ours gave birth to twins, it would be a great thing. I remember there was a plaque hanging in the courtyard of the Fourth Madam. It read "Rui Zhang Liang Yao". It was bestowed by the late Emperor to our Gu family. It said that giving birth to two healthy and energetic fat boys would bring honor to the family and bring good luck!"

After hearing her words, the master and servant felt relieved.

For ordinary people, it doesn't really matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, but if it is twins, there will always be trouble. Therefore, Du Jingyi has heard that even if two children are born (especially same-sex ones), only one will be reported to the outside world to avoid disaster.

The one who stays is naturally the one who is cherished the most, but the one who is given away will have to live a hard life, so no family is willing to have twins.

It might be better if it is a son and a daughter.

After all, it symbolizes the auspiciousness of dragon and phoenix, so it will naturally be treated with joy by the family.

"It's still uncertain now, so let's not assume it ourselves. Let's ask Doctor Tan to come and take a closer look in a few days."

"Yes, Madam."

Neither of them is a talkative person, so they will not spread the news before it is confirmed.

After returning to the main house, Du Jingyi still hadn't quite digested the fact that she might have to give birth to two children at the same time.

It was not until Gu Shaoyu came back from a social event that he saw her in a daze. He thought that something had gone wrong, so he stepped forward and asked her hurriedly.

"What's wrong?"

"The General is back."

"Well, what are you doing here alone?"

Du Jingyi thought about it and wondered who he could tell if he didn't tell him, so he asked.

"General, did Fourth Aunt give birth to two children?"

Gu Shaoyu hadn't heard anyone mention these two cousins ​​for many years, so when Du Jingyi asked about them, he was a little surprised, but soon nodded.

"Yes, Shaorui and Shaozhang are two years younger than me. When Fourth Aunt gave birth to them, she received a plaque from the late Emperor. Their names were taken from it to show the Emperor's great grace."

After hearing this, Du Jingyi felt more at ease, but it was Gu Shaoyu's turn to become restless.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Could it be..."

Then he glanced at Du Jingyi's belly, a little incredulous, and then said.

"There have never been twins in the Gu family. The reason why Fourth Aunt was able to give birth to my cousins ​​is because there were twins in her family. So we all know that it was passed down from Fourth Aunt's family. You... don't have it too, right?"

After listening to Gu Shaoyu's explanation, Du Jingyi just felt more certain, but now he was a little shaken, so he said with a wry smile.

"I feel that this belly is bigger than when I was pregnant with Brother Tai, so the scholar mentioned that. I thought that if the Gu family had indeed had twins, then this belly might also be a possibility. But after hearing what the general said, I am not so sure."

Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu pulled her clothes tighter, looked at her carefully, and then frowned at Du Jingyi, obviously agreeing with her words.

"Yes, it looks like he's older. Tomorrow I'll ask Luo Yuan to invite Doctor Tan to come over and have him take a look! It was he who saved Fourth Aunt's pregnancy. Otherwise, my two cousins ​​wouldn't have survived. A baby born at seven months old made Grandpa and Grandma worry for a long time."

Hearing this, Du Jingyi felt very complicated.

She felt happy, worried, and scared...but all these emotions were caused by the child's situation. She didn't expect the child to be both talented in literature and martial arts, she just wanted him to be healthy and happy.

Thinking of this, she gently stroked her slightly bulging belly.

Gu Shaoyu put his hand on top of hers and said comfortingly.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Don't be afraid. Let's wait until Doctor Tan comes tomorrow. We shouldn't scare ourselves. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand."

Afterwards, Du Jingyi snuggled into Gu Shaoyu's arms. Perhaps she was tired, or perhaps there were too many complicated things on her mind, and she fell into a deep sleep after a while.

After Gu Shaoyu laid her flat on the bed, he gently closed the door, walked out of Qiwu Courtyard, and went straight to Madam Gu's Qiude Courtyard.

It was late in the evening and Madam Gu had already gone to bed, but when she heard Nanny Qin outside say that Gu Shaoyu had arrived, she stood up, put on an outer coat and went to meet him.

"What's wrong? You come to see me at this hour, is there something wrong?"

His tone was quite worried and his eyes revealed concern, and then he patted Gu Shaoyu on the shoulder.

Gu Shaoyu did not hide it and told Madam Gu that Du Jingyi might be pregnant with twins, and said it seriously.

"My grandson was afraid that Tangtang would worry, so I lied to him for the time being. I remember that my grandfather once said that he had a pair of twin brothers, right?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gu sighed and said.

"Yes, it's a pity that the master's two younger brothers died shortly after they were born, and my mother-in-law was very sad because of this. She had a lot of health problems due to the childbirth, so she passed away after a few years. When she passed away, the master was only nine years old..."

Gu Shaoyu's mood was even more complicated at the moment. He was extremely unhappy about the situation of having twins. It would be fine if they could be born, but if something went wrong during the birth process, wouldn't he regret it for the rest of his life?

All of a sudden, he even had some other thoughts. If he didn't want the child, perhaps Du Jingyi wouldn't have suffered all the sufferings that followed. As he thought about it, his eyes became a little fierce.

When Mrs. Gu saw him like this, she immediately understood what he was thinking.

Patting him on the shoulder, he then spoke seriously. (End of this chapter)
