As Mu Lige finished speaking, everyone present was shocked.
Situ Ye's mouth twitched slightly: "I... I am pregnant?"
"It's been almost three months, where's your brain?" Xuan Ming said unhappily.
Situ Ye's face flashed with discomfort when he heard this. "I...my menstrual period sometimes comes once a month, sometimes once every two months. I don't really care..."
Yu Xiaotian opened his clear peach blossom eyes and looked at Xuanming innocently: "Second Elder, then...then I...I..."
Seeing Yu Xiaotian's cute and well-behaved appearance, Xuanming couldn't help but think of his own obedient disciple Xiao Chenchen. He suddenly felt reluctant to scold Yu Xiaotian and only said, "It's been more than a month."
Thinking of Han Yichen's cute appearance when he was young, Xuanming's heart couldn't help but soften.
His obedient disciple, Xiao Chenchen, would secretly trim the old man's beard while Xuantian slept; he would secretly fill water into his second master's wine flask; he would also have people throw manure on the ground when Xuanyue was underground; he would even exchange mud pills for Xuanqing's beauty pills...
Xuanming stroked his graying beard, a warm feeling welling up in his heart. His obedient disciple, Xiao Chenchen, was just mischievous most of the time, but occasionally he would behave well...
For example, Xiao Chenchen never wets anyone's bed but only his Xuanming's. Xuanming thought that among the four masters, Xiao Chenchen particularly favored him, the second master.
Just as Xuanming was lost in his reverie, Si Chengfeng's gentle voice interrupted him: "Second Elder, I... I've been feeling weak lately. Could it be because the ice toad poison in my body hasn't been cleared yet?"
Xuan Ming, his beautiful memories interrupted, said angrily, "Do you think the Millennium Ice Toad's reputation as the 'Detoxification Master' was earned for nothing? Furthermore, I personally used its blood to fight poison against poison. The toxins in your body have long been cleared. Plus, you're lucky to have a wife with a rare yang-dominant constitution who has neutralized your yin-deficient constitution. Otherwise, how do you think you could have gotten pregnant so quickly? It's been almost two months, and you had no idea?"
Xuanming opened his mouth and started talking like crazy, which made Si Chengfeng lower his head repeatedly and dared not raise his head.
Just when Wu Chen was hesitating whether to ask, Hua Qingcheng had already asked, "Second... Second Master, I can understand that the second, fourth, and fifth are pregnant, but this monk Hua..."
But Hua Qingcheng pointed at Wuchen and asked in confusion, "Isn't this monk Hua a man from the Male-Respecting Country? How...how could he be pregnant?"
"Heh!" Xuan Ming said sarcastically. He raised his hand and pointed at Mu Lige, who was sitting on the bed, and said leisurely, "Aren't you, a doctor, also a man from a country where men are respected? Didn't you also give birth to twins, a boy and a girl?"
Hua Qingcheng suddenly understood what he said, and then looked at Wuchen in disbelief, "Monk Hua, when did you take the Marrow Cleansing Pill? How come I didn't know? And where did you get the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
At this time, Han Yichen, who had already reached the door of Mu Lige's dormitory in Lingkun Courtyard, curled his lips and said, "Where else could it have come from? Of course, it was your third brother Han, who gave it to him specially the night before your wedding!"
Han Yichen hadn't anticipated that, having made a special trip to Lingkun Court, he'd learn that Situ Ye, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng, and Wu Chen were all pregnant. Wouldn't that keep his wife incredibly busy? And wouldn't he, the one who would be treated specially, be...?
Hua Qingcheng, unaware of Han Yichen's inner thoughts, couldn't help but twitch her lips when she heard his words. She had never expected that her usually stingy third husband would suddenly be so generous. Furthermore, the monk Hua Heshang, known for his unruly nature, was actually willing to take the marrow cleansing pill and bear a child for her just to have a child of their own.
Hua Qingcheng looked at Han Yichen, then at Wu Chen, and felt touched in her heart.
"Second Elder, then I... no, then how many months have I been pregnant now?" Wu Chen came back to his senses from his daze and looked at Xuan Ming with anticipation.
Xuan Ming rolled his eyes speechlessly. "You can only get pregnant after your constitution has been reversed. Don't you know when your little wife planted the seeds?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Chen said excitedly, "Old... uh, I took the Marrow Cleansing Pill on October 28th, the day we got married. Does that mean the baby in my belly is already three months old?"
However, Xuan Ming's next words were like a bucket of cold water that extinguished Wu Chen's wish for his child to be older than Situ Ye's. "Wrong! It's two months. About half a month younger than that Situ Erlangzi's."
Hua Qingcheng, who suddenly learned that she was going to be a mother again, couldn't help but smile with joy. She gently patted Wuchen's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Hua Monk, what does it matter if it's half a month older or younger? When the child grows up, it won't look that different."
"Good sister..." Wu Chen bit his finger lightly and looked at Hua Qingcheng innocently, "The difference is huge. Even a difference of a cup of tea can determine the ranking of the children..."
Hua Qingcheng: ...
Xuan Ming, who couldn't bear to see Wu Chen's foolish look, directly stabbed him: "Is there a big difference? It's not like they need to inherit the throne. It doesn't matter who is older or younger..."
Wu Chen felt as if thousands of arrows were piercing his heart. He hugged Hua Qingcheng and howled, "My son, it's all Dad's fault for being useless. Dad couldn't make you the legitimate daughter or son, but you have to be the youngest. What will you do if you get bullied in the future?"
…
Yu Xiaotian and Si Chengfeng, standing by, touched their bellies, which hadn't yet shown their pregnancy, and remained silent. Their babies were only one month old, and the other less than two months old, even smaller than Lao Liu's...
Sitting on the bedside, Mu Lige pinched his brows in annoyance. He was also very troubled by his lively brother. He could only comfort him, "Achen, whether it's your child or the children of the second, fourth, and fifth brothers, they are all my children, Su Mulige. How could I let anyone bully them?"
Wu Chen, who was not afraid of anything except his own elder brother, felt a little comforted and stopped howling.
"Okay, okay, I'm tired too. Later I will prescribe some medicinal food for each of them to nourish their bodies. You guys continue chatting, I'm going to go back and take a nap." Xuanming yawned and prepared to turn around and leave.
Mu Lige nodded gratefully to Xuan Ming and asked Shu Mo to take him back.
"Second Master, wait a minute!" Just as Xuanming had one leg stepped out of the threshold, Hua Qingcheng suddenly called him.
"What's the matter?" Xuanming turned around and asked suspiciously.
Hua Qingcheng, remembering her original intention of coming to Lingkun Academy, hurriedly said, "Second Master, Zuo An's old injury might have relapsed. Could you please help check him out..."
Upon hearing this, Xuanming said unhappily, "What a trouble!" But he still followed Hua Qingcheng's steps and walked towards Xiaoyaoju.
Seeing this, Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng and Wu Chen followed to watch the fun, leaving Mu Lige, who was in confinement, in Lingkun Courtyard to keep the company of the two children brought back from the next room by her nanny.
