Chapter 880: Li Yuzhu · Mu Yuanxiu Extra (02) The Twin Birth Family

In the warm and blossoming spring of March,

perfect for a spring outing, and even more so for consummating a marriage.

Li Yuzhu and Mu Yuanxiu’s house in the Capital was newly decorated by people sent by the Wei Family.

Red lanterns were hung at the entrance of the house.

Numerous small festivity lanterns were also hung on the trees inside the house.

In their bedroom, red silk draped across the room, almost matching the arrangement of a bridal chamber.

A pair of red candles flickered on the table before the bed, casting a warmth across the room.

Li Yuzhu stifled a smile, was this really necessary?

Mu Yuanxiu held her hand, guiding her on a tour of the bedroom, "Mother is truly thoughtful."

Li Yuzhu was speechless, "It’s true what they say, the bystanders are more anxious than those involved."

"To ease Mother’s concerns, shouldn’t we..." Mu Yuanxiu tightened his grip on her hand, looking down at her eyes.

Fresh from a bath, her eyes were even more captivating.

Li Yuzhu became nervous at his grasp, and she cleared her throat softly. Sharing a bed, what’s the big deal?

"A moment of spring night is worth thousands in gold, come on, let’s not waste time, let’s consummate," Li Yuzhu pulled Mu Yuanxiu to the bedside.

She kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.

After a bath, she wore only a robe, and with a slight tug at the belt, the garment loosened.

Mu Yuanxiu stared at her in astonishment, "...Is my wife in a hurry?"

Li Yuzhu lay leisurely on the bed, laughed, and patted the spot beside her, full of gusto, "Aren’t you coming quickly?"

Mu Yuanxiu suppressed his amusement, loosened his clothes, and got onto the bed.

But just as he let down the bed curtain, Li Yuzhu let out a small cry and retreated under the covers.

He smiled wryly at the corners of his mouth, "I’m here, why are you hiding now?"

"Let... let me take a moment..."

"A moment of spring night is worth thousands in gold, my dear."

.

The next day, the two of them only opened the bedroom door by noon.

Li Yuzhu appeared listless and sheepish, while Mu Yuanxiu seemed vigorous, with a smile in his eyes.

Servant girls and old maids came forward to offer their congratulations.

Mu Yuanxiu graciously rewarded each one with a smile.

Li Yuzhu sighed.

Who said the ancients were conservative thinkers?

Look, such a private matter as consummation, yet the parents had to broadcast it to the family.

Last night, in the middle of two intense rounds, during a bath break, the nanny sent by the Wei Family took the chance to ask if she was satisfied with the Prince Consort’s service and whether they needed any guidance.

Li Yuzhu was petrified.

Not needed!

Mu Yuanxiu was practically dismantling her!

She laughed weakly, "Very satisfied, immensely satisfied."

This was only after the first half of the night; she wondered if there would be any armistice in the latter half of the night.

Now she saw Li Xing’an approaching, heh, coming to mock her?

"Congrats, congrats, brother-in-law!" Li Xing’an laughed heartily and slapped Mu Yuanxiu on the shoulder.

Mu Yuanxiu smiled, "Third Brother, congratulations to you too."

"Work hard, strive to hold a child soon. I look forward to hearing your child call me uncle, heh, let me tell you, I’ve even prepared my red envelopes and his wedding all together."

Li Yuzhu could not help but laugh, "Third Brother, you’re in a hurry, aren’t you? That’s twenty years down the line!"

Li Xing’an waved his hand, "No, no, no, not that long. If he’s a boy, I’ll have him choose a bride at three!"

Li Yuzhu suppressed her laughter, "What if it’s a girl?"

Li Xing’an huffed, "Why marry off a girl that early? Not until she’s eighteen!"

Li Yuzhu laughed, "That’s double standards."

"What are double standards?" Li Xing’an asked, not understanding.

"Two different sets of standards," Li Yuzhu laughed.

"I don’t care, in our family, males and females are different!" Li Xing’an waved his hand.

Li Yuzhu replied amusedly, "But the child will have the surname Mu in the future."

"So what? I’m still the uncle, and uncles are of higher status!" Li Xing’an chuckled, looking at Mu Yuanxiu, "Right, Yuanxiu? Uncle is higher."

Mu Yuanxiu was directing people to prepare the feast to entertain Li Xing’an, "Mm, Third Brother is right."

Li Xing’an burst into laughter at the compliment.

.

Li Yuzhu mentally praised Mu Yuanxiu for choosing the timing for consummation so well.

The next month, her menstrual blood did not appear.

And it had only been half a month since they consummated the marriage.

The pregnancy test showed two glaring red lines. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

But still not at ease, she went for a blood test.

One hundred percent pregnant.

Outside the bathroom, Mu Yuanxiu knocked on the door, "Yuzhu, what are you doing inside so early?"

Li Yuzhu quickly put away the tools, washed her hands, and opened the door.

She jumped up, hooked her arms around Mu Yuanxiu’s neck, and hung herself on him.

Mu Yuanxiu was a head taller than her, and to kiss him, she had to go through this effort.

"What’s the matter? So happy?" Mu Yuanxiu gently put Li Yuzhu down and rubbed her face.
