Chapter 12

  After Jiang Wanru's spirits improved slightly, she saw the child that Wen Jiuniang had brought over. On that small face, the five features were perfectly aligned, and a sense of righteousness could be seen emanating from it, which immediately won over Jiang Wanru's heart. The little child was smiling at her, his toothless mouth curving upwards in a grin, making Jiang Wanru's heart feel warm all of a sudden.

  Wen Jiuniang initially brought her son over, and upon seeing the delighted expression on Jiang Wanyu's face, she thought that this marriage would definitely work out. She didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wanyu would actually dislike her own child's appearance. She took a glance at her own son in her arms and looked at the pair of twins lying beside Jiang Wanyu - their looks were truly exceptional, while her own son could only be considered decent-looking at best. With a disgruntled expression, she said to Jiang Wanyu: "I think my own son looks quite good, but his appearance won't be the type that would attract attention from all over when he grows up."

  However, Ninth Sister, you can't guarantee that your family's elders won't give those things to him in the future. If the marriage is settled and my daughter finds out he received those things, no matter what, she'll be heartbroken. Why should I let my daughter see it with her own eyes and feel hurt in her heart? It's better to arrange a suitable marriage for her in the future, and I can discuss these conditions with her future husband's family. They're all people without a strong foundation, but as a couple, they'll work together and definitely build a happy little family.

  When Mr. and Mrs. Shang heard the name, they looked at each other in dismay, then listened as Wen Jiuniang helped to explain: "Xiao Lan said that she was tired of living a hard life, it must be because of the single character 'lan' (lazy), why not add another 'lan' to our daughter's name? That way, when she grows up, she will definitely live an easy life." After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Shang both felt a pang in their hearts, thinking that it would be difficult for a weak woman like Xiao Lan to raise two children on her own and face all the gossip and rumors.

  After giving birth, Jiang Wanru's body was greatly damaged. At present, she sleeps more than she is awake, and she often falls into a deep sleep when talking to people. Dr. Shang told the worried Mu Gen and Ji Yan that "this is a temporary phenomenon for her now, and it will slowly recover over time." For Dr. Shang, Jiang Wanru's situation was the first case in his many years of medical practice where mother and child were safe, and it was only due to various conditions such as heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony that they were so fortunate.

  Wen Jiuniang gently patted her son's hand and saw him fall asleep, then handed him over to the woman behind her. The woman carefully took the child and left the room. Wen Jiuniang lovingly picked up Jiang Lanyu from the bed, teasing the little baby, and said to Jiang Wenyue, "Little lazy one, I understand your thoughts. However, this is not something that I can guarantee for you. The important matters of the Shang family's descendants will ultimately be decided by Father and Mother. Nevertheless, the people of the Shang family have been known for generations to be virtuous in their relationships with women, never having had any instances of favoring concubines over wives."

  Jiang Wanmu looked at her with envy and said, "Although Shang Wudafu is not a man of many words, he is indeed a true gentleman. You already have an eldest son, and in the future, you will also have a second son, a third son... I'm sure he will keep his promise." Wen Jiuniang's face turned slightly red as she said in a low voice, "Xiao Lan, marrying into a family like ours has another advantage. As a doctor, my husband knows even better than outsiders how to take care of one's body. We didn't have children until three years after our marriage because everyone in his family thought I was still too young and it would be better to wait a bit."

  Jiang Wanmu looked down at Jiang Feiyang and Wen Jiuniang, who were holding Jiang Lanyu beside her. In recent days, the two siblings had changed a lot, becoming more spirited every day. After Jiang Wanmu woke up, Shang Daifu had already asked Wen Jiuniang to pass on the message that 'the children are twins, born weaker than ordinary children, so from infancy, they were often bathed in medicinal broth to help them correct their physical constitution, do you think it's effective or not?'

  Also, because of the birth of the two children, she believed in Dr. Shang's character and wanted to discuss some things with him privately, hinting at certain things without explaining the background, and listening to his opinion. When children are young, there are things that are good to hide, but when they grow up, if they are smart, then there is nothing that can be truly hidden from them. Jiang Wanru felt that she couldn't wait until something happened and let her benefactor's family be the last to know, which would hurt the kind intentions of those who had treated her well, and she would also feel guilty.

  Jiang Wanru spent her days sleeping and waking, passing the month after giving birth. As summer passed, she gradually became more awake, but when Shang Dafu and Shang Wudafu came to take her pulse, they still instructed her to rest and not overexert herself. Shang Dafu specifically told her: "Xiao Lan, you focus on resting, don't think too much when you're awake, and don't be too weighed down by your thoughts. You don't need to feel like you owe us a lot, or that you're burdening us too much, or that we've sacrificed too much for you and are now taking care of your children."
