Chapter 412: Share My Good Luck With You
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xiaoxiao suddenly had an idea. Should she throw the reason for making new dishes to Father in the future? That was a good idea! However, she still had to find a way to make up for it so that she wouldn’t be exposed. “Yes, yes. I’ve learned a lot of dishes recently! Aiyo, the recipes I obtained by chance in the past can be taken back to ask Father for guidance.
“So we can make more new dishes in the future.
County Magistrate Shen looked forward to it even more than she did. He educated his son. “Look, studying is so useful. You are complaining about being tired now, but you don’t know how many people in the world want to study but don’t have the chance.”
It made sense, but Shen Tianci did not listen. Instead, Xiaoxiao touched her chin, making his hair stand on end.
Rong Yan scooped a bowl of soup for Xiaoxiao and interrupted her gaze. Shen Tianci cupped his hands gratefully.
Xiaoxiao finished the soup and asked Rong Yan, “Can you contact Dean Lu?”
Rong Yan raised his eyebrows. “Looking for your Eldest Brother?” Xiaoxiao shook her head and straightened her expression. “I’m looking for the Dean for something serious.”
Coincidentally, the newly-weds came over to toast. Ning Anhui’s face was flushed. He drank a glass before saying anything.
“Sister, I know you don’t like us thanking you, but it’s indeed because of you that Older Brother and Father are where we are today. I don’t want to thank you, but as long as I am around, as long as you ask, I, Ning Anhui, will do anything!”
“Although I don’t have any achievements or power, if anyone bullies you, I will protect you even if I have to risk my life!
Xiaoxiao kicked him. “It’s a big day. What are you talking about!” Be careful that the bride will scratch your face at night!
Ning Anhui scratched his head. “Hehehe, that’s what Jiao’er meant too. However, she can’t come out now, so she asked me to pass a message to you.”
Xiaoxiao:… I’m convinced, really.
In order to prevent the drunk groom from saying anything shocking, Xiaoxiao quickly sent him to the bridal chamber. Ning Fengnian and Madam Song watched from the side and found it funny. As they smiled, Madam Song suddenly froze.
Xiaoxiao had a premonition. “Mother?”
Madam Song took a deep breath and acted quite calm. “Boil some hot water. I’m going to give birth.”
This was the first time Xiaoxiao had seen such a calm pregnant woman. Oh, in fact, she had never seen such a calm woman before.
in short, Xiaoxiao did whatever Madam Song said. As an experienced pregnant woman, Madam Song had already prepared all the supplies at home. The midwife was also staying in the guest room, so in less than five minutes, everyone was in position and waiting to start.
At this moment, Madam Song grabbed Xiaoxiao’s hand.
“Promise me that you’ll choose the child.”
Xiaoxiao was between laughter and tears. “Mother, what are you talking about!”
Madam Song sighed. “I’m not stupid. You’ve been so careful with me these past few days. It must be because there’s something wrong with the child. I have sons and a daughter in my life. It’s enough for me that my husband and I are harmonious, safe, and happy. But this child is different. He hasn’t had a chance to see the world yet.”
Xiaoxiao wanted to speak, but she was interrupted by Madam Song. “I know that be it the child’s father or Erlang, they will definitely prioritize me, but I’m a mother. I can’t do it. Xiaoxiao, I want you to promise me to protect my child.” Xiaoxiao finally found an opportunity to speak. “Mother, you’re really thinking
too much.”
She had no choice but to tell Madam Song the real reason. Madam Song’s calmness just now was gone. She was a little stunned. “Two? You’re saying that I’m pregnant with twins?”
Xiaoxiao nodded and she came to a realization. “I was wondering why my appetite was so big this time.”
Xiaoxiao did not refute and only said to her, “I didn’t tell you because I was afraid that you would be worried, not to let your imagination run wild. Anyway, it’s time to give birth now. Mother, just relax and work hard.”
Madam Song was angry and amused. “Have you given birth before, or have I? Hurry up and get out. You’re a young lady who hasn’t reached adulthood yet. Don’t stay here. It’s unlucky.”
Xiaoxiao disagreed. “This is every mother’s greatest moment. How can you say that it’s unlucky!”
However, she was a little in the way. Xiaoxiao decided to be obedient. However, just as she got up, she heard Madam Song exclaim. Xiaoxiao turned around instinctively to support Madam Song. At the same time, she looked at her suddenly pale face.
The space dinged: [Master, these two children are not in the right position.] Gongsun Zhongjing was waiting outside the door. Ning Fengnian doted on his wife and was asking him to help if anything happened. Compared to that “man and woman shouldn’t touch each other”, he only wanted his wife and children to be safe.
“If… well save the adult!”
Gongsun Zhongjing nodded in agreement before he heaved a sigh of relief.
In the room, Xiaoxiao’s hand was still on Madam Song’s stomach. [Use Range Control.]
This was another precise operation, but compared to the time on the battlefield, Xiaoxiao was not dizzy and could do two things at once. As she used the power of space control to help the children in Madam Song’s stomach turn around, she said to Madam Song, “Mother, I think the two babies are very energetic. You will definitely give birth smoothly. Don’t worry.” “Besides, don’t you always say that I’m a lucky star? Then I’ll share my good luck with you today.”
Coincidentally, the midwife, who had washed her hands, came to do an antenatal checkup for Madam Song. Under Madam Song’s strong request, Xiaoxiao turned her head and did not look, but she heard her voice clearly. “Madam, don’t worry. The child is very well and the position of the fetus is right. As long as you follow my instructions, I guarantee that the two of you will be safe!”
Xiaoxiao turned around and smiled at Madam Song. “Look, Mother, what did I say!”
Then, she was chased out by Madam Song.
Ning Fengnian was already sweating outside the door. “How is it?” Xiaoxiao felt that asking these three words seemed to have exhausted all of Ning Fengnian’s strength, so she hurriedly told him, “Everything is normal. The midwife said that the child is healthy and the fetal position is correct.”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
When the guests in front heard that the matriarch was about to give birth, they also sincerely prayed for her safety. Rong Yan looked at Xiaoxiao’s slightly haggard expression worriedly. “What did you do just now?”
There was no need to hide anything from her Little Big Brother. Xiaoxiao whispered what happened and said, “I’m not at ease. I’ll use my space to hide beside Mother and watch later. Help me cover up. Tell her that I’m making soup for Mother in the kitchen.”
Rong Yan thought of something else. “Did you use space control on the Xiongnu people on the battlefield before?” He thought of more. “Did the jade pendant fall because you were also as weak as you are now?” Xiaoxiao did not say that it was even more dangerous at that time, but she did not deny it either. However, Rong Yan was no ordinary person. He immediately had the urge to hug the person in front of him tightly.
A cry of pain came from inside the house, causing Ning Fengnian, who had already been a father twice, to feel worried. Ning Anhui couldn’t care less about going to the bridal chamber. After sending a message to the bride to tell her not to be anxious, he waited anxiously at the door with his father in his wedding clothes.
It was good for him not to forget to get someone to send some food to the bride. The bride, Qian Jiao’er, was also a considerate person. She only asked him to accompany his mother in peace. There was nothing wrong with her being alone.
Shopkeeper Qian and his wife helped to comfort the guests without any complaints.
The guests increasingly felt that this marriage was a good one. Amidst these praises and envious voices, Xiaoxiao used the space to quietly come to Madam Song’s room..
