Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 209 Twins

After hearing Madam He's footsteps as she left, Gu Yunyi turned over and hugged Xu Qingmeng from behind.

"Miss."

He buried his head in Xu Qingmeng's shoulder, his voice soft and sweet.

Frustrated, Xu Qingmeng slapped Gu Yunyi across the face, as if swatting a mosquito.

"I'm sleepy, don't bother me."

"Okay, okay, I won't make a sound. You can sleep a little longer."

He gently kissed her hair before tiptoeing out of bed.

After closing the door, I quickened my pace considerably.

As Madam He was serving dishes, she saw Gu Yunyi approaching and asked, "Where's Mengniang?"

Gu Yunyi scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I drank too much yesterday and kept going for a long time. Mengniang is still sleepy."

"You know you're drunk, but don't you think about Mengniang's condition? Your alcohol tolerance is so low, and you're dragging Mengniang down with you."

"Yes, I've got it." Gu Yunyi nodded. Although he was quite drunk, he still remembered it.

Xu Qingmeng was more patient with him when he was drunk, and he was less wary of her, taking advantage of him whenever possible. If it weren't for her pregnancy...
Thinking of this, Gu Yunyi chuckled foolishly.

"Snapped!"

He reached out and slapped him on the head.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh! You're happy to torment your own wife!" Mrs. He cursed, and instead of going to the dining room, she went back to the kitchen.

Gu Yunyi suppressed his smile and followed Madam He into the kitchen with a puzzled look on his face.

"Mom, isn't it time to eat? Why are you bringing it to the kitchen again?"

"Mengniang hasn't gotten up yet, we have to leave some in the pot for her, otherwise it will get cold."

Yeah, how could I have been so stupid!
Xu Xinting cooked four dishes, and the staple food was steamed buns.

Mrs. He set aside some of each of the four dishes and placed them on a plate. The pot was used to steam buns, and the water was still hot.

The vegetables and steamed buns can be kept warm for a while by placing them on a steamer rack.

After finishing all that, we started preparing for dinner.

During the meal, Gu Yunyi told Madam He about buying people.

Since it had been mentioned before, Mrs. He didn't object.

"It's up to you!"

"Ah."

After finishing his meal, Gu Yunyi calculated the time and found that Xinting had already gone to the kitchen to add another fire.

"Mother, I'll bring the food to the room. Mengniang must be hungry."

Gu Yunyi carried the heated dishes and steamed buns to the inner courtyard.

Gu Yunyi pushed open the door and entered; Xu Qingmeng was already up.

"Why don't you sleep a little longer? I've already brought the food over."

Xu Qingmeng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Sleep my ass! What time is it?"

"Even if I don't eat, the baby in my stomach should eat too!"

Gu Yunyi knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything.

"Yes, yes, yes! My wife, it's all my fault."

Xu Qingmeng ignored him and sat down to eat.

While Xu Qingmeng was eating, Gu Yunyi told her about the search for someone.

"Mother, did you agree?" "Of course."

After Xu Qingmeng finished eating, Gu Yunyi waited for her to freshen up before the two of them came out together.

Madam He had finished her work in the kitchen. Gu Yunyi washed the dishes and chopsticks that Xu Qingmeng had eaten from, while Xu Qingmeng went to the main hall in the outer courtyard.

“Mother…Auntie.”

"Mengniang, get up. How are you feeling? How many months have you been pregnant? Are you about to give birth?" Aunt Li said gently.

"No, Auntie, she's only seven months pregnant."

"Seven months, isn't that a bit too much?"

Ms. He hadn't paid much attention before, but now that Aunt Li was talking about it, she realized it was getting a bit too big.

I've also heard that other women go to great lengths to nourish themselves during pregnancy, eating and drinking a lot, which naturally makes their bellies grow quite large. However, since Xu Qingmeng lost weight, she hasn't gained any weight anywhere else.

Later they discovered that it seemed that only her belly was excessively large. She had been overweight before, so Mrs. He didn't take it seriously.

I'm a little worried that people will bring this up.

"Could it be twins?" Madam He asked, looking at Xu Qingmeng's belly.

After all, Yun Sheng and Yun Mo are twins, so Madam He thought it was possible.

Xu Qingmeng actually knew, but she pretended not to and asked, "Are they twins? Can the doctor tell the difference?"

In modern times, there would be no need to overthink it; an ultrasound would suffice. However, in this day and age, it's unlikely that a pulse diagnosis alone would be sufficient to determine the cause.

If it were truly possible to tell, she hadn't heard anyone mention it during her recent doctor visits.

"Twins are not something that ordinary doctors can tell. When I was pregnant with Yun Sheng and Yun Mo, I didn't find out until they were born. Ordinary doctors can only treat common illnesses. Speaking of which, when you came to the prefectural city last time, Yun Yi said he would take you to see a doctor. Did he say anything?" Madam He asked.

"No." Xu Qingmeng shook her head.

"Perhaps Dr. Liu can help? His father used to be an imperial physician in the capital," Aunt Li said.

"Really? Where is your sister-in-law? I'll go and ask Doctor Liu to come and take a look."

“I’ll take you there, but Dr. Liu is usually very busy, so I don’t know if it will be possible,” Aunt Li said.

"It's okay, give it a try."

As she spoke, Mrs. He followed Aunt Li out, but unfortunately, they couldn't invite her over.

Dr. Liu is out on a house call; he's not here at all.

Aunt Li said apologetically, "I've made you come all this way for nothing."

"What are you saying, sister-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunyi said, "Auntie, you've already gone to so much trouble. Really, either a single pregnancy or twins are fine."

"That's it."

After chatting for a while, the group mentioned wanting to look at shops. Aunt Li asked in surprise, "You're planning to open a shop to make a living? Courtyards in this prefectural city aren't cheap."

Aunt Li thought about it and felt that it wasn't a big deal. After all, she had just arrived in the city and was able to buy such a large courtyard. Buying a shop next wouldn't be a big deal either.

"After all, running a shop is a long-term business. Even if it's not cheap, we can grit our teeth and get through it. As long as we can make money in the future, that's fine," said Mrs. He.

“That makes sense. We can’t just sit around and do nothing. So what do you want to do?” Aunt Li asked.

"I haven't decided yet. I think it's something related to food. My Mengniang is a good cook, but we'll see how it goes for now, since I'm due to give birth soon."

"Yes? So you're planning to find a shop on Baiyang Street?"

Baiyang Street is the closest street to the Gu Family Courtyard, and it has a very large flow of people.

Xu Qingmeng's first choice was naturally this place, and the He family thought so too, but they were worried that the rent would be too high.

Aunt Li clicked her tongue in amazement. It seemed that the Gu family was not short of money!
Thinking of this, the smile on his face became even more amiable.
