Before this, she had been hesitating whether she should have children or not. In fact, she was a little resistant to it. However, when she saw Gu Ying who had been working hard for her, she thought that she should let nature take its course. She even set a time limit of half a year for herself to prepare.

If she got pregnant within half a year, then she would give birth. If she didn’t get pregnant within this half a year, they would have Qingting and Qinghao anyway. Qingting and Qinghao were equivalent to Gu Yings descendants, so it was no different from their own children.

Who knew that she would get pregnant in a month just as she was preparing? It was also fate.

Initially, she didn’t plan to tell Gu Ying in advance. She wanted to give him a surprise. However, she remembered that the Qin family had always inherited the genes for multiple births. It was the kind of powerful genes that both men and women inherited. For safety reasons, she told him. “Alright, wife, lie down first. I’ll be there in a while.”

“l don’t want to smell like this.’ “How do you know who the mother is?”

“Hehe, it must be!”

“Even if it’s just one, it’s still our treasure!”

Gu Ying hummed energetically and went to wash up.

When she woke up the next day, MO Ruyue was still sound asleep. Gu Ying had already arranged everything for everyone in the house, including what MO Ruyue would eat in the morning.

He had specifically asked Granny Rong and Granny Yan a lot of questions. He felt that these two were people who took care of the Empress Dowager in the palace. They definitely knew as much as the doctor about what a woman should eat during pregnancy, what she could eat, and what was good for the child.

Granny Rong and Granny Yan had suspected that MO Ruyue might be pregnant because of the late monthly letter. However, they did not dare to announce the fact that they had not confirmed it. However, the two of them had a tacit understanding that everything was prepared according to the possibility that MO Ruyue was pregnant.

Early in the morning, the Prince Consort had called the two of them over so nervously. He asked about pregnant women everywhere. The two of them knew everything in their hearts and could not help but smile. They were so happy this morning.

The maidservant who was sweeping the courtyard accidentally spilled a basin of water. She had been trembling all morning, afraid of being punished by the two nannies. If she had known earlier, the two nannies were the strictest in the entire manor. Even the princess'[ personal maidservant Chun Hua was afraid of them.

People just couldn’t do anything wrong. If they did something wrong, there would always be clues. The more afraid the maid was, the more she would be discovered by Granny Yan. She was already prepared to be scolded and her monthly salary would be deducted.

However, Granny Yan smiled and asked her to sweep in the outer courtyard. Although she was sent away, she was not scolded, which made the maidservant’s hair stand on end.

Was Granny Yan waiting for her?

Not only did the servant maids sweep away the outer courtyard nervously, but the dogs and deer that usually liked to play in the courtyard were also chased away by Granny Rong.

The dogs and deer felt a little strange. Why were they suddenly not allowed to play at home? If they were not at home, then so be it. They went to the mountains to catch rabbits and eat braised rabbits at night.

The dogs arranged dinner well.

After Gu Ying finished breakfast with the four children, he instructed Chun

Hua several times, “From today onwards, don’t run around personally for anything. You must stay by Madam’s side.”

“If you find anything wrong with Madam, you must tell Granny Yan or Granny

Rong in time.”

Chun Hua was the first to know about MO Ruyue!s late monthly arrival. She had even discovered it earlier than MO Ruyue herself. She also knew why the Prince Consort was so strict with her, so she nodded in agreement with a smile on her face.

“This servant will obey!’

The children looked at Gu Ying strangely.

Gu Ying said, “Don’t just stand there and eat.”

Under Gu Yings urging, the four children did not waste any time. After quickly finishing their breakfast, Gu Ying first sent the two girls to the Women’s College.

Although the Women’s College was in the village and the road was very safe, Gu Ying felt that girls should be carefully taken care of when they grew up. They should also be carefully pampered so that they would not be easily deceived by those flowery people. Ever since he came back, he had been the one to send the two girls to school. When he was busy, he would also ask Wei Yi and Wei Er to send them to school.

On the way, Gu Ying repeatedly emphasized to the four children, “Your sister-in-law and mother have been a little tired recently. Don’t let her worry about the big and small matters at home. Try to solve your own problems. If you can’t solve them, tell me.”

The four children nodded.

“Mother is not feeling well. Do you want to get some medicine for her?”

“Medicine is 30% poisonous. You’ve studied medicine with your mother for so long. Don’t you know this? How can you always take medicine?”

MO Ruyue had already told Gu Ying that although she was basically sure that she was pregnant, it was still too early for her to tell the children.

However, Gu Ying was afraid that the children would cause too much trouble for MO Ruyue. After all, the four children treated MO Ruyue as their mother and liked to look for her whenever there was something wrong.

Especially since Qin Qingting loved to act coquettish and liked to pounce on her mother, she couldn’t be so rash.

“Anyway, just remember that if there’s anything, don’t bother your mother and sister-in-law. You’re all big kids now, and it’s time for you to take charge.”

The four children wondered if their mother (sister-in-law) was seriously ill because Gu Ying had specifically brought this up. They could not help but worry.

“Uncle, tell us the truth. Did Mother get some serious illness? I can handle it.

If there’s a problem, we’ll think of a solution together. Why don’t we go to Grandpa Qin?”

The other three children nodded in agreement.

“Your sister-in-law and mother isn’t sick. She is just tired and needs more rest. ”

Gu Ying explained it to the children before they believed him. The two girls had already arrived at the Women’s College.

After sending the two girls off, the two boys followed Gu Ying to the Civil and Martial Arts Institute.

In the Civil and Martial Arts Institute, the students who had been closely watched by Gu Ying for the past few days actually noticed that Principal Xue was very different from usual!

He seemed to be in a particularly good mood today.

However, shouldn’t they be nice to him if he was in a good mood?

Why was it even stricter than a few days ago?

“Look at your handwriting. Forget about the court examination, even if it was the provincial examination, would it be enough to catch the attention of the magistrate?”

If they were lucky enough to go to the court examinations, wouldn’t they taint the Emperor’s eyes?

“Rewrite!”

“Look at your strategy.”

“Rewrite!”

“Rewrite!”

“Rewrite!”

“Rewrite!”

The reason why Gu Ying was stricter than a few days ago was because his wife was pregnant. He had to stay at home and accompany her more.

However, the reason why he couldn’t accompany his wife at home was all because of these students. It would be strange if he had a good temper and expression towards them.

Thinking about how he had to miss out on many days when his wife was pregnant, he was angry. When he was angry, he naturally wanted to find the culprit to bring bad luck. The students would become the targets of his anger.

After a whole morning, the students felt that they had been busy writing for three days. Finally, it was time for lunch.

The students realized that their Dean Xue had gone home, which was a rare sight!

All the students heaved a sigh of relief. Xiong Qiu felt as if he had come back to life.

“Dean Xue has been a little strict recently, but he’s finally not in charge of us in the school anymore. Let’s go.. We should take this opportunity to go to the village and buy some skewers to improve our food!”
