After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 86 The joy of twins!

The Xue family servant looked at the young woman with gifts at the door and was sure that the carriage under the steps was that of the Xinling Marquis Mansion.

What's wrong with the Ji family? Why do they like to come to our house during the New Year?
The prince came with murderous intent, and the next moment the lady came with a holiday gift?

Rong Peilan had a warm smile on her face, "Please tell me, little brother."

"The palace has received a reward, and the whole family is waiting for the prince to return to receive the decree."

When the servant heard this, he immediately ran to pass on the message without delay. If he missed the palace's order, the matter would be blamed on him, and he would not be able to live to bear such responsibility.

Rong Peilan had a gloomy expression. The entrance to the Xue Mansion was deserted. It didn't seem like it was New Year's Day, but rather like an empty house with no one in it.

The prime minister's residence occupies an area no smaller than that of the marquis's residence, but the third son of the Xue family, as the eldest son, lives in a remote place, just next to the side door.

If it weren't for the servant leading the way, it would have been difficult to know that Xue Jinghe lived in such a remote courtyard.

When Rong Peilan brought Chen Chun and a bunch of gifts to Heyeju, Ji Yunzhang was fighting with Uncle Peng.

Seeing this, Chen Chun picked up a stone, exerted force with his fingertips, and hit Uncle Peng's knee.

Uncle Peng's legs lost strength and he fell from mid-air.

Ji Yunzhang took advantage of the situation and stabbed with his sword. Uncle Peng could only grab the knife with both hands and chop his sword away.

The tip of the sword deviated and finally sank into Uncle Peng's shoulder.

"Okay, okay, okay." Xue Jinghe clapped his hands and walked out from the corridor with a cold smile on the corner of his lips.

"Prince Ji is very skilled. Who said that Marquis Ji has no successor? They have all been deceived by Prince Ji. No, they are blind."

He paused and said, "Even our friends of so many years don't know."

He fiddled with the huge emerald ring on his finger, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked at his old friend who was standing tall with a sword in his hand in the yard.

"Have you considered it, Prince Ji?"

Rong Peilan knew what they were talking about, but she vaguely knew that Xue Jinghe must have caught something to threaten Ji Yunzhang.

Gou'er died tragically, Wei Chi was shot in the stomach and died of seven-day-long illness. His methods were cruel, so nothing could threaten Ji Yunzhang.

Ji Zhenming on the battlefield!
"Husband!"

Thinking of this, Rong Peilan spoke hurriedly.

"The palace has sent a reward. Mother is waiting for you to return and receive the order."

Ji Yunzhang turned around and saw Rong Peilan wearing a moon-white cloak with the hood drooping behind her, and her little face was red from the wind.

Xue Jinghe also looked at her, with the corners of his lips raised, "It seems that Madam Ji has made the choice for you."

Ji Yunzhang turned around and looked at him suddenly, "Xue Jinghe!"

Xue Jinghe shook his finger gently, "There is a reward in the palace, Prince Ji should go home quickly, don't miss the reward from the nobleman."

As he said this, he returned to the house with his hands behind his back. Xue Jinghe opened the wooden box on the tea table, took out a piece of withered yellow root, shook it at Ji Yunzhang through the window, and then threw it into the brazier.

Ji Yunzhang tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword and his eyes became red.

Rong Peilan stepped forward and gently took his hand, saying in an inaudible voice, "Wei Chi's poison has been cured."

The voice was very soft, as light as a feather passing by his ears.

Ji Yunzhang turned back in astonishment, those words, so light that they could be blown away by the wind, were ringing clearly in his ears.

The young lady shook her head slightly at him.

He suppressed the confusion in his heart and took her hand and walked out of Xue Mansion quickly.

Until I got on the carriage, I could no longer see the shadow of the Xue Mansion from the window.

Ji Yunzhang asked anxiously, "You said Wei Chi's poison has been cured?"

Rong Peilan took out a bare hairpin from her sleeve pocket. It was yellow and withered, and was exactly the same as the one Xue Jinghe had thrown away.

"This is the Seven Days Broken Root. It is a hairpin that my father carved for my mother."

The hairpin was given to my mother by my father. It was only because the seven-day break still has a lifelong meaning, for generations to come.

The hairpin was a withered yellow color, the shaft of which was polished smooth, and the tip of the hairpin was a crudely carved piece by my father, with a not-so-beautiful flower carved into it.

Tang Yue broke the flowers on the hairpin and gave them to Wei Chi as medicine. The jagged ends had a faint bitter taste.

Ji Yunzhang looked down and rubbed the bare hairpin shaft, opened his mouth, and finally whispered, "This is my mother-in-law's relic..."

Rong Peilan raised her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "The hairpin is just a dead object. Wei Chi's life is at stake, so of course we have to save him."

Ji Yunzhang's agitated heart had gradually calmed down, and he looked into her eyes seriously, "My lady, I will definitely find the roots that were severed in seven days for you!"

Rong Peilan smiled and said, "It is hard to find a seven-day-old one, and its growth cycle is extremely long. It will take five years for it to take shape. The unformed roots have no detoxifying effect, but the flowers bloom every year and are poisonous every year."

"So let alone Daqi, even in the Western Jin Dynasty, the poison that lasts for seven days is easy to obtain, but the root is worth a fortune."

Rong Peilan rubbed the smooth hairpin in her hand.

My mother had disliked this hairpin for a long time, but after she had pawned all her family property on the journey, she put the hairpin in her bun and never took it off again.

When Rong Peilan and Ji Yunzhang arrived at Tang's house again, Tang Yue had just finished giving acupuncture to Wei Chi.

Qi Riduan was also fed to him.

Wei Chi was no longer as scary as he had been when they first met, and Ji Yunzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe it was because she was running too fast just now, but after taking a break, Rong Peilan felt a slight pain in her stomach.

She frowned, protected her belly, and slowly sat down on a stool nearby.

Ji Yunzhang seemed to sense something. He turned around and saw her leaning back in the chair with her hands on her belly, her face pale.

"Tang Yue!" He screamed, ran over in two steps and held her arm.

Seeing this, Tang Yue took two steps forward.

Without caring about anything else, he placed his fingers on Rong Peilan's pulse.

After a moment, he looked strangely at Ji Yunzhang, who looked anxious.

"Prince Ji, you..."

Ji Yunzhang was impatient with his dithering and could not help but raise his voice, "Why are you still hesitating at this time? What's the problem?!"

Rong Peilan also became nervous. Could it be that the carriage was too bumpy when she came here, or that she jogged a few steps when she arrived at Xue's Mansion?

She couldn't help but tighten her grip on Ji Yunzhang's hand slowly.

During this period, her belly grew a little bigger and she began to feel the wonder of being a mother.

Could it be that this child...

Tang Yue stood up slowly. "It's okay. Madam Ji is already more than four months pregnant. The fetus is already firmly seated. It's just that we walked a little too fast and the ride was a little bumpy. It's nothing serious."

At the end, he added, "Twins, you still need to be more careful."

"W-what? Twins?"

The young couple was stunned by Tang Yue's words.

Rong Peilan touched her belly in disbelief. No wonder Mother Zhou said her belly was bigger than other women's. It turned out that there were two little ones in it.

Ji Yunzhang was filled with an indescribable joy. He stretched out two fingers tremblingly and looked at Tang Yue with an expression that seemed to need more confirmation.

"two?"

After getting Tang Yue's affirmation again.

Ji Yunzhang's face was instantly filled with surprise. After holding it in for a long time, he blurted out something that made Tang Yue roll his eyes.

“I’m so awesome!”
