CHAPTER 554: CHAPTER 554: DOUBLE HAPPINESS COMES TO THE DOOR

Song Ruqi had only been married for three months when she was diagnosed with a happy pulse, and Madam Song was overjoyed. The next day, she went to visit her daughter with lots of gifts.

However, as soon as she left the house, someone from the Gu Family also came over with good news—Song Ruqian was also expecting.

Song Ci: "..."

She personally checked the calendar and said to Nanny Gong, "The auspicious day notice didn’t mention it was good for announcing pregnancies. What’s up with these two sisters? Did they plan to get pregnant together?"

Nanny Gong laughed and said, "Isn’t it because you sighed last night about the house being too quiet? See, the Fertility Goddess has sent you some great-grandchildren."

Song Ci earnestly said, "Quick, help me to the Buddha Hall."

"Hmm? Are you going to offer incense and fulfill your vows to the Bodhisattva?"

Song Ci shook her head, "No, I’m going to sigh a few more times in front of the Bodhisattva. I need money and achievements."

So, bring on more, she can handle it.

Nanny Gong: "..."

No longer wanting to serve this old lady, too restless!

Madam Song returned from the Duke Ying Mansion delighted, only to hear the gatekeeper reporting good news. She assumed it was because Song Ruqi was pregnant, but the gatekeeper woman quickly blurted out that her eldest daughter was also pregnant.

Oh my, Madam Song didn’t even know how she floated to Song Ci’s place, feeling like she was walking on clouds, her steps a bit unsteady.

Was she dreaming?

"Mother, is it true? Is it really Qian’er who is also expecting?"

Song Ci laughed and said, "Sit down and see how elated you are, speaking incoherently. Where’s your demeanor as the House Mistress?"

Madam Song sat down and joyfully said, "I’m just so thrilled I don’t know which way is north. It’s like the sisters planned this pregnancy together, it feels like a pie fell from the sky, a bit unreal, like a dream."

Song Ci teased her, "Then if Su’er were to pass the scholar exam, wouldn’t you be so happy you’d laugh out loud even in your dreams?"

"If that really happens, I’ll remold a golden body for the Buddha," Madam Song said with her eyes smiling, "Not using family funds, I’ll use my dowry savings to add it."

Madam Song’s dowry is quite substantial, which Song Ci is aware of, so she didn’t say much, only asked about Song Ruqi’s condition.

"That girl is overjoyed too. She said she felt nauseous and uncomfortable during dinner last night, and her husband was considerate enough to call the mansion doctor. That’s when they found out she was pregnant," Madam Song said happily. "When I went there, she was lying in bed, afraid to move."

"Did the mansion doctor say anything was wrong? If everything is fine, she doesn’t need to be bedridden. Walking a bit more will be good for an easy birth in the future."

Madam Song agreed, "I’ve said the same. It’s her first pregnancy, so she’s a bit nervous. I’ve already instructed her nursemaid to take good care and guide her."

Song Ci nodded, thinking of Qi San’s concubine, and said, "The Duke Ying Mansion is full of people with loose lips. You have to remind her a bit, never to let her guard down, especially since her own residence isn’t very tranquil."

Madam Song shivered slightly, a cold light flashing in her eyes, "I’ve also talked to her about this. She shouldn’t fully trust the people in the Duke Mansion."

The inner courtyard holds many secrets, and Song Ruqi is proud. A single mistake and misfortune could occur.

Both are pregnant, but she’s not worried about Song Ruqian. After all, she’s already starting to handle household affairs, is capable and experienced as she’s already given birth to one child.

It’s Song Ruqi she has to worry about. That’s a good ten months, she has to be cautious.

Song Ci didn’t have anything else to add. Everyone has their own path and fate, and whether the journey is smooth depends entirely on themselves.
