Chapter 156: It Turns Out to Be Twins

Translator: 549690339

Su Wenyue herself hadn’t noticed, in her previous life, although she had been pregnant a few times, only the first was safely born, she thought her growing stomach was due to good nourishment, and besides, she was just over three months along, so it wasn’t that obvious. If the County magistrate’s wife hadn’t mentioned it, she would have thought it was normal.

“This, does look a bit large.” Having been pregnant several times, the An Family’s matriarch naturally had experience, and had not observed her daughter’s stomach closely until now. Upon hearing the County magistrate’s wife mention it, indeed it seemed so.

“It looks bigger, could it really be twins?” The An Family’s matriarch was naturally more concerned than the County magistrate’s wife about her own daughter, and upon hearing such a suggestion began to feel nervous and worried. In her view, expecting twins was not necessarily good news; her daughter was young and it was her first pregnancy, which was challenging enough, and twins could pose a danger.

Giving birth was inherently a life or death affair, but the current priority was to confirm whether it was indeed twins in her daughter’s womb or if the child was just large for its age. Normally it would suffice, but her relationship with the County magistrate’s wife was amicable, so she had no need for pretense. However, today was the County magistrate’s wife’s birthday, and it was ill-timed to call for a doctor.

Seeing the An Family’s matriarch’s concerns, the County magistrate’s wife gestured and whispered a few words to the servant girl, instructing her to invite the regularly employed doctor from the mansion.

“Is this really alright, today is your birthday after all. I can take Lady Yue to the Medical Clinic and have the doctor take a look later, no need for such trouble,” the An Family’s matriarch said, waving her hands in slight unease.

“Let’s not talk about trouble, what’s the problem between us, with our friendship? Besides, this is no small matter. If it turns out to be twins, it could bring our mansion and Lady Yue’s child joy. Who knows, it might even help my daughter-in-laws to conceive soon,” the County magistrate’s wife said, dismissing her concerns.

With these words from the County magistrate’s wife, the An Family’s matriarch stayed quiet. Certainly, pregnancy was a joyous occasion, and having definite news sooner would give her peace of mind.

“Doctor, how is it?” the County magistrate’s wife inquired, having invited the mansion’s regular doctor, who was among the top in medical skills in the County. The doctor had been diagnosing for a while and hadn’t come to a conclusion, which made the An Family’s matriarch worried but patient, unlike the anxious County magistrate’s wife who prompted for an answer.

“Yes, doctor, how is my daughter’s pulse? Is there anything amiss?” the An Family’s matriarch asked with concern.

“All is well. Congratulations, Madam Han, you are indeed carrying twins. The condition of the fetuses is good, and with proper care, you’re certain to give birth to two healthy children,” the doctor replied after hesitating, for he had a sliver of doubt in his mind. The pulse felt slightly different from that of twins, yet it wasn’t clear. Nonetheless, the condition of the fetuses seemed fine, and it probably wasn’t cause for concern.
