His father-in-law ignored him with a cold face, not even giving him a glance. Fu Jiuli did not get angry, but just quietly stayed beside the father and his two sons.
After the father and his two sons had talked for a long time and their excitement had gradually subsided, he interrupted and said, "Father-in-law, you haven't eaten for a long time. Nether Valley has prepared lunch in the main hall. Let's go over there."
However, Shen Yuan not only ignored him, he even turned his head to the other side.
Fu Jiuli looked at Shen Nanxing, a trace of grievance in his deep black eyes: "Madam."
Shen Nanxing's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he hugged his father's arm and shook it gently: "Dad~"
Shen Yuan's expression relaxed slightly, but he still didn't look at Fu Jiuli. He took a step forward and said coldly, "Go—"
Shen Nanxing and Shen Ming supported Shen Yuan on both sides, and Fu Jiuli followed closely behind. They walked all the way to the main hall.
The table was filled with exquisite dishes, and the old doctor Shen and his wife, as well as the Shen Mu couple, had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing several people coming over, Madam Wenxiang stood up and greeted them with a smile: "Ming'er, Nanxing, help your father sit down."
Shen Yuan now knew that it was Madam Wen Xiang who saved his precious son, and he bowed to her: "Thank you - thank you -"
Madam Wenxiang knew what Shen Yuan was thanking her for as soon as she heard it, and she immediately smiled. "Lord Shen, there's no need to thank me. Ming'er is a well-behaved and filial child. It was a blessing for me to have found him back then."
After that, he changed the subject: "Your voice has basically recovered. It's just a little rusty from not speaking for so long. As long as you practice diligently, you will be able to speak like an ordinary person in a short time."
Shen Yuan nodded: "Thank you, my wife..."
Madam Wenxiang waved her hand casually: "No need to thank me. In the future, please ask Ming'er and Nanxing to come visit me more often when they are free. This will be your thanks. I really cherish these two children..."
Seeing Shen Yuan about to speak again, Madam Wen Xiang hurriedly said, "I'm getting anxious listening to you. Come sit down and have dinner first! We're all hungry."
Shen Yuan said nothing more and took a seat with the help of his children.
After he took his seat, everyone else followed suit.
At the dinner table, everyone was eating while talking about the things that had happened in recent years, sighing and lamenting.
Murong Yan said: "The Shen family is also strange, twins are born in every generation. Shen Mu and Shen Yuan are like this, and so are Nanxing and Beiyue. Fortunately, Nanxing and Beiyue are twins, a boy and a girl, not twins..."
Shen Ming continued, "...But my grandfather was the only one in my grandfather's generation, and my great-grandfather only had one son."
"That's true." Murong Yan nodded, "I just don't know why it suddenly changed later."
Madam Wenxiang smiled and said, "Everyone, please eat more vegetables. These vegetables are all grown by me personally, and the meat and vegetables are all raised by me personally. They are very fresh!"
"Especially this fish. It was raised with fish food made by the old man himself. The meat is fresh and tender. Come and try it."
Fu Jiuli was always paying attention to his wife and would serve her food from time to time. This time, he picked up a piece of fish maw for her with his chopsticks.
"Madam, this fish was personally caught by your husband from the pond in Nether Valley. It is delicious... Madam, please try it."
Shen Nanxing smiled and nodded at him, then happily picked up the piece of fish and put it into his mouth.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I brought it close to my lips and smelled that scent, my stomach suddenly started to churn.
She immediately put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, stood up and ran out.
"Madam!" Fu Jiuli's expression changed and he quickly stood up and followed her out.
"Nanxing! Nanxing, what's wrong with you?" Shen Ming also followed him out.
Then everyone followed him out and watched from afar with worried expressions on their faces.
After a while, Fu Jiuli came back with Shen Nanxing, his eyes filled with worry: "Madam Wen Xiang, please take a look at my wife. Why did she vomit all of a sudden?"
Mrs. Wen Xiang hurried over and reached out to feel Shen Nanxing's pulse.
She concentrated for a moment, her expression first showing joy, then becoming complicated. She glanced at Fu Jiuli without saying anything.
Fu Jiuli was anxious: "What happened to my wife?"
"This..." Mrs. Wenxiang opened her mouth, but seemed a little embarrassed, not knowing how to start. In the end, she said nothing and kept silent.
Fu Jiuli held his wife in his arms, his face grim. "Madam Wen Xiang, does my wife have some kind of incurable disease? Is it difficult to treat?"
Shen Nanxing looked up at him: "Husband, don't worry, I'm fine, I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere now."
She actually had a vague suspicion in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm it. Wasn't her body infertile because of the previous soak in the cold pool?
Shen Ming looked at his sister and had some guesses in his heart, but if it was true, this matter would be of great importance. What would be the best way to deal with it now?
Shen Yuan also looked at Shen Nanxing, his face showing anxiety: "Nan-Xing, you..."
Fu Jiuli was so anxious that his eyes turned red. He didn't care what his father-in-law was saying and stared at Madam Wen Xiang:
"Madam Wenxiang, please tell me quickly! What happened to my wife? No matter what herbs you need, I will go through fire and water to find them for you, just begging you to cure her..."
When the old doctor Shen saw that the old woman was hesitating and refused to explain clearly, he became anxious. He quickly came to Shen Nanxing's side and put two fingers on her other wrist.
After a moment, his face was filled with joy: "Nanxing is pregnant!"
After saying this, he glanced at Madam Wen Xiang, raised his white eyebrows, and the white hair on his head swayed proudly: "Old woman, your medical skills have regressed! How come you can't even take such a simple pulse?"
After he finished speaking, Dr. Shen realized that everyone was silent.
Although Shen Nanxing had a premonition, he was still shocked when it was confirmed. He widened his eyes and looked at the old doctor Shen: "I... I didn't... soak in the cold pool, and then...?"
Divine Doctor Shen smiled and said, "Do you still remember the packet of medicine that my wife and I gave you when you came to the valley last time? Did you take the tonic inside?"
Shen Nanxing recalled and nodded: "I ate it. Could it be...?"
Divine Doctor Shen stroked his beard, his expression rather proud. "That's a tonic I developed. It's very good for women. After you take it, the problem you had with soaking in the cold pool will naturally go away."
Shen Nanxing was surprised, happy, and worried at the moment. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Fu Jiuli, and her gaze met his. Like her, he was filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.
Shen Yuan suddenly rushed over, stepped between the couple, protected Shen Nanxing behind him, and looked up at Fu Jiuli.
His eyes were full of defense: "He--di--"
