"You have no idea how much it hurt me when I saw Jixiang and Ruyi help you in..." Wei Qingqing rested her head on Yang Ming's chest, leaning against him. "Those two little devils nearly killed me, and you're no better. We women are just born to suffer..."

"I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself when it came to it..." Yang Ming said, rubbing her shoulder with his large hand, looking ashamed.

"I'll forgive you since this is your first offense..." Wei Qingqing raised her head, her pointed chin resting on Yang Ming's chest, her beautiful eyes gazing softly at him. "To be honest, I heard you didn't listen to me and went to the annual meeting. I was actually secretly pleased..."

"Hehe..." Yang Ming chuckled foolishly, saying nothing, but tightened his arms around her.

"Don't grin like an idiot. Since you didn't go yesterday, you have to go today..." Wei Qingqing poked Yang Ming's chest with her slender finger and said.

"No need, right? Whether I go or not doesn't really matter anymore..." In Yang Ming's mind, his status as the Grand Elder of the Jedi had probably already been stripped away, so what was the point of going or not going?

"How can you be so irresponsible???" Wei Qingqing said angrily, "Haven't you heard of 'a monk rings the bell for a day'? Since you're still the Grand Elder of the Jedi, you should fulfill your responsibilities and obligations..."

"But I can't bear to part with you..." Looking at Wei Qingqing's angry lion-like appearance, Yang Ming was actually a little scared.

"Beauty is a curse..." Wei Qingqing gritted her teeth, "Looks like I've held you back??? I'll ask you one more time, are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll smear my face..."

"That's still better looking than your previous face..." Yang Ming muttered.

"You...you're spineless..." Wei Qingqing trembled with anger. "Then I'll use sulfuric acid..."

"It's no use. Your physical condition is the same as mine. Sulfuric acid won't work..." Yang Ming said timidly.

"You..." Wei Qingqing was truly speechless with anger this time. She glared at Yang Ming, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, alright, I'll be there in a bit. I was just kidding..." Yang Ming put one arm around Wei Qingqing's slender waist and supported himself on the floor with the other, slowly sitting up so that Wei Qingqing was sitting on his lap.

"That's a good boy..." Wei Qingqing's expression softened. She helped Yang Ming stand up, patted his shoulders, and helped him put on a silk undershirt. Then she dressed him. Chunlan and Qiuyue had already brought him his clothes, which were placed at the door of the inner room. It was a pure white Hanfu. Wei Qingqing unfolded it and helped him put it on, instructing him, "When you get there, apologize to them. If they say anything sarcastic or cold, just bear with it and don't get angry... After all, we were in the wrong first..."

"I know, I know..." Yang Ming nodded repeatedly and laughed, "I'll agree with whatever they say about me, but if they hit me, you can't blame me for fighting back..."

"How annoying! You even hit someone??? Do you think everyone is as rude as you??? I'm worried that you'll hit someone. After all, this isn't our home. If things get out of hand, you'll be the one who suffers..." Wei Qingqing chuckled and said.

"When did I hit anyone??? I'm a good kid, okay???" Yang Ming cried out innocently.

"Yes, yes, yes..." Wei Qingqing helped him fasten his belt, a smile playing on her lips. She cupped his face in her small hands, gently stroking it. "You're a good boy, you're the best boy, you're not allowed to fight..."

"No fighting, absolutely no fighting..." Yang Ming solemnly promised.

"Alright, go ahead. I'm warning you very seriously, don't you dare seduce any alien vixens..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile as she straightened Yang Ming's clothes.

"Okay, I'm going now..." Yang Ming smiled, gently kissed Wei Qingqing's smooth cheek, and then turned and walked out.

Pushing open the window, watching her husband's departing figure, Wei Qingqing smiled happily, her small hand gently caressing the spot where her husband had just kissed her...

"Spring Orchid and Autumn Moon..." After her husband's figure disappeared behind the woods, Wei Qingqing withdrew her gaze and called out softly.

"Grandma..." The two beautiful girls stood respectfully behind Wei Qingqing and bowed.

"Where are the young master and young lady?" Wei Qingqing asked.

"Replying to Grandmother, the young master and young lady are with the old matriarch..." Chunlan said.

"Grandma, the old ancestor also said that we should hold a month-long feast in the village to celebrate the birth of the young master and young lady..." Qiuyue, who was a little more lively, said in a sweet voice.

"Huh???" Wei Qingqing raised an eyebrow, "A month-long feast???"

"Yes, the birth of the young master and young lady made the ancestors extremely happy..." Qiu Yue said with great enthusiasm.

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing laughed. As a mother, she was happy that her children were liked by their parents and in-laws...

"And, my maternal grandmother has some great news to share..." Qiuyue continued.

Grandmother refers to Xue Hua, a fact Wei Qingqing naturally knew...

"Oh??? What's the good news???" Wei Qingqing's interest was immediately piqued when it came to her mother, and she quickly asked.

"Hehe..." Qiuyue giggled, "We're going to have a great-uncle..."

"Uncle, isn't that..." Wei Qingqing's eyes lit up, glistening with tears. "That's wonderful! Mom and Dad are finally going to get what they want..."

Wei Qingqing knew perfectly well how much her parents longed for a son. Sometimes she even hated herself for not being a boy. Now that her parents' long-cherished wish was finally coming true, she was genuinely happy for them… Besides, she was a mother herself now and would never be jealous of her unborn brother… Moreover, when a younger brother or sister is born, as the older brother or sister, one will definitely harbor a lot of hostility towards the new family member, because this younger brother or sister is first and foremost a rival for their affection, and only then is she the younger brother or sister…

Seeing Wei Qingqing's happy expression, Chunlan and Qiuyue exchanged a smile, then stood quietly to the side without saying a word.

"Ah..." Wei Qingqing exhaled, feeling a sudden sense of relief. "Chunlan and Qiuyue, help me get dressed..."

"Yes..." The two women quickly responded, took a set of clean white casual clothes, and helped Wei Qingqing put them on.

Solemn, elegant, generous, graceful...

Dressed neatly, Wei Qingqing was like a white peony, exuding nobility, yet possessing a refined and elegant temperament.

"Grandma is so beautiful..." Chunlan looked at the stunningly beautiful Wei Qingqing and praised her with a smile.

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, twirling around like a fairy descended from heaven. "Really pretty???"

"Of course, Grandma is the most beautiful woman in the world..." Qiuyue said sweetly.

"Are you kidding me???" Wei Qingqing rolled her eyes at them. "To be honest, I admit I'm not as good-looking as Jixiang and Ruyi..."

"Grandma is talking about the old almanac. If you don't believe us, you can look in the mirror yourself..." Qiuyue said.

"Yes, yes, facts speak louder than words. Grandma can tell just by looking in the mirror..." Chunlan nodded repeatedly and said.

"Oh???" Seeing how certain the two girls were, Wei Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. She remembered that she had drunk the gene repair potion last night, and her body must have undergone some changes...

"Bring a mirror..." Yang Ming ordered.

"Yes..." Chunlan quickly replied, ran to the outer room, and then brought in a round mirror, which she presented to Wei Qingqing. "Grandma, please look, we didn't lie to you, did we?"

"This..." Wei Qingqing was surprised when she saw herself in the mirror. Although her facial features had not changed at all, she was definitely three or four points more beautiful than before. Even the bio-engineered girls with the most perfect physiques, such as Ji Xiang and Ru Yi, were far inferior to her in appearance.

"Grandma has good genes. After drinking the gene serum, all her potential was unlocked. Naturally, we can't compare..." Qiuyue gave a small compliment.

"You brat, all you do is say what I want to hear, trying to sweet-talk me..." Wei Qingqing glared at Qiu Yue and scolded with a smile.

"Hehe..." Qiu Yue chuckled, picked up a small stool, walked behind Wei Qingqing, placed the stool down, stepped on it, and stroked Wei Qingqing's soft black hair, saying in a crisp voice, "Grandma, let me comb your hair..."

"Hmm..." Wei Qingqing nodded gently, letting Qiuyue comb her hair from behind.

Qiuyue's hands were very skillful. She twirled strands of black hair in her hands and quickly coiled Wei Qingqing's hair up. She then took out a jade hairpin from her bosom and gently inserted it into her hair.

"Grandma looks so beautiful..." Chunlan said happily, holding up the mirror high.

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing looked at herself in the mirror and felt quite satisfied. "Not bad, not bad, Qiuyue, remember to make two bracelets, one is a reward for you..."

"I have done nothing wrong and cannot accept any reward from you, Grandma..." Qiuyue said sweetly.

"Hehe, Grandma gave it to me, how dare you refuse it???" Wei Qingqing glanced at Qiuyue through the mirror, her face showing a half-smile.

"Then Qiuyue thanks Grandma for the reward..." Qiuyue quickly and happily thanked her.

"Hmph..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, looking at herself in the mirror and nodding in satisfaction. "You did well, so naturally you'll be rewarded..."

"Hmph hmph hmph..." Chunlan pouted.

"You little rascal..." Wei Qingqing glared at Chunlan, then pinched her nose. "Since you're so good at flattering, I'll give you the other bracelet as a reward..."

"Hehe..." Chunlan immediately beamed with joy, "Thank you for the gift, Grandma..."

After dressing up, Wei Qingqing, dressed in her finest attire, pushed open the door of the wooden house, slowly stepped down the steps, and walked out of the valley, with two pretty maids following closely behind her.

The three of them left the hot spring valley and headed out of the garden. As soon as they stepped out of the back garden gate, the air became hot and dry. Beads of sweat appeared on Wei Qingqing's forehead, and her breathing became somewhat labored and heavy.

"Grandma, should we use the Frost Beads?" Chunlan whispered to Wei Qingqing.

"Use it, it's a bit hot today..." Wei Qingqing nodded and stopped walking.

Chunlan immediately squatted down, grabbed Wei Qingqing's skirt, and rummaged inside. From somewhere, she squeezed out a pure white bead the size of a glass marble. This bead was attached to the skirt, and as soon as it was revealed, the surrounding light dimmed...

In an instant, an icy aura spread out, and within a three-meter radius around Wei Qingqing, she could no longer feel any heat.

This unusual phenomenon is naturally due to the effect of the Frost Pearl. The Frost Pearl and the Ice Silkworm come from the same planet and are gemstones with magical functions. As long as this gemstone absorbs sunlight, it will emit a chilling aura, making it an essential treasure for cooling off in the sweltering summer.

"Alright, let's go inside..." Feeling the coolness, Wei Qingqing's breathing became easier, and her voice returned to its indifferent tone.

Qiu Yue, being perceptive, opened the backyard door and stood quietly by the door. Wei Qingqing, without hesitation, stepped inside.

"Hehe, Qingqing is here, you look so beautiful..." Zhu Yuan, who was washing fruit in the outer room, saw the back door open, looked up and saw Wei Qingqing, and couldn't help but greet her with a smile.

"Auntie's here..." Wei Qingqing greeted Zhu Yuan with a smile.

"Wait a minute??? Shouldn't you be in postpartum confinement right now??? Why are you out here???" Zhu Yuan frowned in confusion.

"It's alright, I've recovered my lost energy, I won't develop any chronic illness..." Wei Qingqing said with a smile.

"Oh..." Zhu Yuan nodded as if she understood, but her mind was actually a mess.

Wei Qingqing smiled and nodded at Zhu Yuan before stepping into the east room.

There weren't many people in the east room, only Zhang Shufang, Xue Hua, and Sun Fangfang. The three of them were each holding a child and talking quietly in the room. When they got to the exciting parts, they covered their mouths and giggled.

"Oh my god???" Sun Fangfang glanced at Wei Qingqing as she walked into the room. "Ugly girl, you're dressed quite beautifully today..."

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, glancing at Sun Fangfang, "What do you mean by pretty? You're too kind..."

"Wow??? When did you become so smart??? You can apply what you've learned to other situations..." Sun Fangfang said, feigning surprise.

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing's forehead veins throbbed. "No, I'm still the same me..." A smile appeared on her face.

"That's sharp... From now on, you'll be called Sharp Sister..." Sun Fangfang pouted and gave Wei Qingqing a thumbs up.

I told you you've become smarter, and you said you're still the same person you always were. Does that mean my IQ has dropped?

"Hehe..." Wei Qingqing chuckled, walked to the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), and looked at her two children with her beautiful eyes. "Have you fed them yet???"

"I fed them... I just gave them a bag of milk..." Zhang Shufang said, oh.

"That's good..." Wei Qingqing smiled faintly and nodded slightly. "Mom, from now on, my brother and I will have to rely on you a lot. Please take care of us..."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard work..." Zhang Shufang laughed. Taking care of her grandchildren is what she enjoys doing most now.

"Mom, congratulations..." Wei Qingqing looked at her mother and said with a smile.

"Um..." Hearing her daughter say that, Xue Hua guessed why she had said that, and her face flushed red, the blush spreading all the way to her neck. "You...you knew???"

"Of course..." Wei Qingqing chuckled. Nothing in the village could escape her notice, as long as she wanted to know...

"This..." Facing his daughter, Xue Hua was already incoherent, his head hanging down, acting as shy as a bashful young girl.

"Don't worry, Mom, I'm not making fun of you. I'm just happy for you, genuinely happy for you..." Wei Qingqing laughed and said.

"You brat, do you think I need you to be happy for me???" Xue Hua scolded playfully.

"Hehe, Mom, I heard there's a banquet being held outside, I want to go and see..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Go on, go on. No matter what, you're one of the people involved. You can't just stay out of the picture, can you?" Xue Hua waved to his daughter.

"Then I'll go..." Wei Qingqing smiled faintly, nodded, and turned to walk out.

The curtains slowly returned to their original state, and the room became quiet.

"Have you noticed??? Qingqing seems like a completely different person..." After a long silence, Zhang Shufang frowned and said.

"Yes, she's become exceptionally gentle and polite..." Sun Fangfang nodded and said.

"That's normal, it's just that her outfit makes her look more presentable..." Xue Hua said.

"That makes sense..." Zhang Shufang thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Hehe..." Xue Hua chuckled, but didn't say anything more.

The banquet was held in the village brigade. Even before we got close, a strange fragrance wafted out. This fragrance was exceptionally strong and carried a rustic, rural flavor.

"Wow, so many..." Wei Qingqing exclaimed, looking at the long line of tourists outside.

These tourists were all attracted by the aroma. Drawn by the fragrance, everyone gathered here, ready to have a free lunch. If they were lucky, they might even be able to eat like this for a month...

"Grandma, do you want me to clear the way for you?" Qiuyue quickly came up and asked.

"No need, I'll just look around outside..." Wei Qingqing sighed. "With so many people, let's not cut in line, otherwise it'll be annoying..."

"Yes, everyone has worked so hard to queue up, and you just show up and take up a spot. Everyone must feel uncomfortable about that..." Zhang Fenghuang's voice rang out.

"You scared me..." Wei Qingqing turned her head and saw Zhang Fenghuang standing not far away, looking at her with a half-smile. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and rolled her eyes at Zhang Fenghuang. "People can scare each other to death..."
