Chapter 945: Side Story – The Daily Life of Raising a Child

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Recently, two happy events happened in Chang’an.

Firstly, the Duchess gave birth to twins.

As for the second reason, it was naturally because the duke, who had been unconscious for months, had woken up.

Because of the two happy events that spread at the same time, the commoners all said that these two children were born with good fortune. They had clearly never seen them before, but they described the two little fellows as the golden children under the Guanyin.

The most ridiculous thing was that some storyteller had even made up stories about the siblings calling their parents and reciting poems.

Shen Yijia almost believed her if not for the fact that the siblings had never left her sight since they were born.

When Song Jingchen entered the house, he saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed and counting her treasure seriously.

One moment, she was frowning, the next moment, she was grinning, and the next moment, she was shaking her head and sighing. Her expression was rich.

Song Jingchen walked over in amusement and sat down by the bed. “I made carp tofu soup.”

Shen Yijia looked at him resentfully and put down the stack of banknotes in her hand. She took the bowl bitterly.

The carp was stewed for a long time, and the fish bones had long been picked out. She did not have to worry about the fish bones getting stuck in her throat.

Staring at the bowl in her hand for a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, raised her head, and gulped it down.

Even drinking soup made her feel like a warrior breaking his wrist.

“Huh?” Shen Yijia smacked her lips and asked uncertainly, “You added salt?”

For the sake of the two little fellows’ nutrition, Madam Li had long invited ten healthy wet nurses into the residence. She was just waiting for the children to choose a taste they liked so Shen Yijia could take a break from breastfeeding.

Unexpectedly, the siblings were very picky. They didn’t like any of the ten wet nurses. No matter what, they were only willing to drink their mother’s milk.

Helpless, Shen Yijia could only feed him herself. So be it. She was in good health, so it was not a big deal.

What she could not tolerate was that not only did she have to be careful with her feeding, but she also had to drink pig trotter soup or carp tofu soup every day.

The kind that didn’t have salt in it!

The first time she drank it, Shen Yijia almost vomited.

Song Jingchen rubbed her head with heartache. “I’ve read about medicinal cuisine. It’s fine to add a little salt.”

Shen Yijia muttered, “Actually, I’m used to it. It’s fine without salt.”

Although the two little fellows had indeed made her cry because of how ugly they were, she had given birth to them herself. She did not want to affect them negatively because of her appetite.

Besides, so what if they were ugly? It was just like how she drank tonic soup. She would get used to it.

While comforting herself, Shen Yiiia could not help but qlance at the two red monkeys lying on the small bed at the side. The little person in her heart burst into tears again.

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. I gave birth to them myself!” she thought.

She cried internally.

Song Jingchen had no idea that in such a short period of time, her heart had already been in turmoil for hundreds of rounds.

“It’s really fine. When have I ever lied to you?” Not wanting her to dwell on this matter, he put the bowl aside and picked up a gold bar in front of her. He changed the topic and asked, “Why did you take out all these things?”

This was the money that Shen Yijia had brought out of the Shen family back then, as well as the profits from the shops left behind by Madam Wang over the past few years. The rest was what Xuanyuan Ce got someone to organize and send to Great Xia after they left the Xuanyuan Kingdom.

From the looks of it, Shen Yijia could be considered a rich woman.

She glanced at the two little fellows again and said in a low voice, “Min’er and Tan ‘er look like this. I’m a little worried that no one will want them when they grow up, so I want to prepare more betrothal gifts and dowry for them. When the time comes, someone will take them in on account of the money, right?”

The names of the siblings were suggested by Song Jingchen and voted on by the entire family.

The elder sister’s name was Song Tan, and her younger brother’s name was song Min.

Shen Yijia sighed and continued, “This bit of money is still not enough. Hubby, we have to earn money.”

She spoke seriously, looking like she had a long way to go. Song Jingchen was speechless.

On the first day of their birth, they were despised by their mother. On the fifth day, their mother was making plans for their future. He really didn’t know who was more miserable, the twins or the mother.

After a while, Song Jingchen deliberated and said, “Didn’t Mother say that they’re still young and will grow up in a few days? Look, don’t they look much better than when they were born?”

Among the newborns, the siblings could actually be considered to have the best looks. However, they were too different from the fair, fat, and soft appearance Shen Yijia had imagined. That was why she felt disappointed..
