Shen Yijia pursed her lips and remained silent. She clearly did not believe him.
However, reality quickly slapped her in the face.
Newborn children grew up quickly. Perhaps it was because of Shen Yijia’s spiritual liquid. It was not an exaggeration to say that the twins looked different every day. By the time she finished her confinement period, the siblings had already become fair and chubby. One could even vaguely see the shadows of the couple.
Shen Yijia was so happy that she wished she could carry them to Xiao Ruoshui every day.
Now that the dowry was safe, they didn’t have to worry about Song Tan and Song Min’s future. It was a double blessing.
At the same time, as the siblings grew older, their personalities slowly became prominent. Then, Shen Yijia realized that the two of them were ridiculously auiet.
For example, every time they stayed with Xiao Ruoshui’s son, they could only hear Fan Rui babbling alone in the courtyard. When they looked at the twins, the siblings were either sleeping or rolling around with their eyes wide open. They did not “communicate” with Fan Rui at all.
Other than the fact that they would howl when they were hungry, they barely spoke.
It really let people see what it meant to cherish words.
After her previous experience of them growing up and looking better, Shen Yijia was calm this time. She thought that it would be fine as long as they grew up.
There was news from the Xuanyuan Kingdom that Empress Dowager Zhou was seriously ill. Before she died, she wanted to see her great-grandson and great-granddaughter.
The twins were already three years old at that time.
It was worth mentioning that Xuanyuan Ce had returned to the Xuanyuan Kingdom when the twins were a year old. Ji Luo had also left Chang’an a few days after he left.
She said that she could not waste her medical skills in Chang’an.
Everything was about karma. Ji Yunxi and Si Yun had killed so many people as people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets. As the previous Valley Master, she had the responsibility to restrain them. She wanted to eliminate this negative karma.
Lin Shao, who was well-versed in incense and was interested in medicine, left with her.
It was only when the news of Empress Dowager Zhou’s serious illness spread that she brought Lin Shao back. To be precise, she arrived in Chang’an a day before the letter.
At the Duke’s residence, Shen Yijia hung two bird nests made of straw on a tree. In order to make them look realistic, she specially made a few “bird eggs” and placed them in.
After doing all this, she walked up to Song Tan and Song Min with a smile and coaxed them gently, “Tan’er, Minter, Mother will bring you out to see the bird’s nest, okay? Your father liked to play with this when he was young. You must want to play too, right?”
Looking at her mother’s smiling face, Song Tan looked at Song Min helplessly. “The bird’s nest is fake, and so are the eggs. Father didn’t like to play such childish games when he was young. Mother wants to coax us again!”
She still remembered that half a year ago, her mother had brought them to the Hidden Spirit Temple to see Furball and Riceball’s family. When they arrived at the Release Pool, she told them that her father loved to go into the river to catch fish when he was young.
The family went on an outing and she said that their father loved to catch crickets.
There were many more such instances.
They could only blame themselves for being too young at that time. That was why they believed their mother’s nonsense and did everything she said. However, they were all three-year-olds now. This move could no longer deceive them.
Song Min sighed like an adult. ‘Mother, Father specially told us before going on duty today that you’re not feeling well today. He asked us to watch over you and not let you jump around. You’re disobedient again.”
It was rare for Shen Yijia to feel a little embarrassed. Who was the reason for her discomfort? Besides, with her physique, she would be fine after a nap. She scratched her head. “Look, I’m fine. Your father likes to make a fuss.”
Song Min pursed his lips and looked at Song Tan. “Do you want to dig out the bird’s nest?”
Song Tan shook her head repeatedly. “No, I still have a lot of words to write.”
Receiving his sister’s resistance, Song Min sighed again and used his ace in the hole, trump card. “Mother, if you’re disobedient, we’ll tell him about you secretly exchanging Father’s treasured calligranhy for silver.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Am I being threatened by a three-year-old? I am, right?”
Song Tan nodded repeatedly. “There’s also the paintings Father usually draws. You always say that you’ll help him put them away, but you actually sold them all.
It was even taken out in the name of a servant in the residence.
Shen Yijia was speechless.
The twins continued, “So, Mother, if you don’t want us to complain to Father, you have to be good.”
Looking at the two little ones’ smug expressions, the little person in Shen Yijia’s heart jumped. If not for the fact that she could not bear to lay her hands on the two miniature versions of herself and her beautiful husband, she really wanted to roll them up and throw them into the ground.
Sensing the danger, the siblings’ pupils trembled. They looked at each other and ran around her. As they ran, they shouted, “Father, quickly control your wife.”
Only then did Shen Yijia realize that Song Jingchen had returned. He was standing at the courtyard door and looking at them with a smile.
At the thought of being threatened by the twins, she pursed her lips and ran over. “Hubby, control them quickly. They’re bullying me.”
The siblings felt a gust of wind blow past them. When they looked closer, their mother was already hanging on their father.
Song Tan and Song Min thought to themselves, “Father is right. Mother hasn’t grown up yet. They twins themselves haven’t wanted anyone to carry them for a long time.”
Song Jingchen had actually been back for a while, so he naturally heard the conversation between the mother and children clearly. However, he still asked cooperatively, “Did they make you angry again?
Shen Yijia nodded repeatedly. “They’re not fun at all.”
If she wanted them to play with him, they would have to fight with their wits and courage. However, she was about to lose.
Thinking of something, her eyes lit up. “Why don’t we have two more…” A sudden cough sounded.
The couple turned around at the same time. When they saw who it was, Shen
Yijia said in surprise, “Mother, Sister Yuwan, why are you together?”
The people who came were Madam Li, Ji Luo, and Yuan Yuwan, whom they had not seen for many years. Madam Li was the one who coughed to remind them.
“You’re already the mother of two children, yet you’re still so unreasonable.” Ji Luo scolded jokingly.
For Jiajia to maintain this personality, at least it meant that Ah Chen had treated her as well as before in the two years she was not around. What was there to worry about?
Shen Yijia pursed her lips and jumped out of Song Jingchen’s arms. “You haven’t told me why you and Sister Yuwan are together.”
“It’s a long story.”
Shen Yijia thought that her next sentence would be “Let me tell you all about it.” Unexpectedly, Ji Luo made a sharp turn.
“Let me take a good look at my precious grandchildren first.”
With that, she went straight to the twins, not even looking at Shen Yijia.
Shen Yijia was speechless. “I was clearly your baby in the past! So love can be transferred?” she thought.
She looked at Song Jingchen aggrievedly. “Hubby, don’t worry. My love for you will never change.”
Song Jingchen covered his mouth and coughed lightly. “I still have some unfinished business. You guys chat first.”
Shen Yijia thought to herself, “Don’t think I didn’t see your ears turn red.”
Yuan Yuwan chuckled. “You haven’t changed at all.”
Shen Yijia walked forward with a smile and held her hand. “Nonsense. I’ve clearly become prettier.”
She was even more shameless now.
Madam Li was amused by her. “The two of you, have a good talk. I’ll get the kitchen staff to cook a few more good dishes tonight.”
“Thank you, Mother.”
“Sorry to trouble you, Auntie.”
It was unknown where the twins had been brought by Ji Luo. Shen Yijia brought Yuan Yuwan to the reception pavilion and waved away the maidservant who came to serve tea. “Did you return to Chang’an with my mother?”
She was really curious about this.
Yuan Yuwan nodded with a smile. “I bumped into Lin Shao and Auntie on the way, so we went together..”
