"She didn’t know she got the wrong man? Weren’t you watching with your own eyes?" Yang Chuxia was baffled; what was this situation?
"Yes, the one who ca out of the room then was Mu Shaoling," the Commandery Princess Dongyang admitted she was also confused. However, what she didn’t know was that before Mu Shaoling erged, another person had already stepped out ahead of him.
"Does the child look like Mu Shaoling?" Yang Chuxia wondered. It was said that daughters resembled their fathers. If the child didn’t look like Mu Shaoling, it might not be his after all. Well, she was half-doubtful about what Mu Shaoling said.
Speaking of the looks, the Commandery Princess Dongyang stroked her chin, her expression slightly troubled, "To tell you the truth, the child really does look like Mu Shaoling, dazzlingly beautiful. Even this young, you can tell they will be exceptionally handso; I shudder to think how they will stun the Capital City when they grow up."
To her, it was as if a miniature Mu Shaoling had dressed up in won’s clothing.
"That’s why I’m telling you, Xiaxia, because of this, I’ve always been skeptical about whether his words are true."
"I see!" Yang Chuxia suddenly understood, She thought to herself that the relationship between the two of them seed harmonious on the surface but was deeply estranged underneath. So the crux of the issue had not been resolved.
"Xiaxia, if the child isn’t Mu Shaoling’s, then whose would it be? To tell you the truth, with that resemblance, it’s not just who would be unconvinced; probably few people would believe it." The resemblance was uncanny.
"How would I know? I haven’t seen the child," Yang Chuxia rolled her eyes but then added, "However, if it really isn’t Mu Shaoling’s child, it must be soone from the Mu Family, given the resemblance. There must be a blood relation."
"Soone from the Mu Family?? It’s unlikely to be soone from the second branch of the family, as the couple there is very much in love. As for the third branch, only Mu Shaofeng was in the Capital City at that ti. Whose child could it be? Surely not Mu Shaoling’s father’s."
No sooner had she finished speaking than the Commandery Princess Dongyang hastily covered her mouth, "Look at spouting nonsense. Let’s drop the subject; I need to think of a nickna for the child."
However, she didn’t notice the glint in Yang Chuxia’s eyes after she spoke.
"It’s too early to pick a nickna when we don’t even know if it’s a boy or a girl," Yang Chuxia thought innocently, wondering if this wasn’t being a bit too hasty since they had only nad Lele and Yangyang after they were born.
"What’s early? If we pick one that works for both, it’s settled."
Clearly, the Commandery Princess Dongyang was interested in the topic and even had paper and pen brought over, eagerly discussing it with Yang Chuxia.
By evening, they had already co up with dozens of nas.
"Hey, your naming skills are terrible!" Mu Shaoling looked over the papers on the table, not satisfied with any of them.
Yang Chuxia pretended not to hear his criticism, thinking that his wife had co up with the nas, and he could criticize all he wanted; it would still be him kneeling and scrubbing the washboard later.
"Listen to these, ’Lebao’? Can it be any more tacky? ’Lebei’? It’s not like they’re twins, tsk tsk..."
Then Yang Chuxia noticed that every ti he spoke, the Commandery Princess Dongyang’s face darkened a shade.
It was Ye Zi’an, the considerate one, who knew to step in and smooth things over, "What was the result of your dical diagnosis?"
At the ntion of this, Mu Shaoling’s attention shifted and he shook his head with a grave expression, "It’s not easy to cure. This disease has never been seen before. I’m afraid the flesh all over her body is wasting away, but that’s not the worst of it. The real concern is that all the internal organs are wasting away as well. In the end, it’s likely she’ll literally starve to death."
