Chapter 89: The Marquis’s Child-Raised Little Wife
Spring had just passed and summer had just arrived, but the southwest region began to become chaotic.

Jiang Lanyue waited for the opportunity until the people in several towns in the southwest united to destroy the government offices, and then he took advantage of the situation.

Under the slogan of “eliminating treacherous officials and clearing the court of corrupt officials”, he led his well-organized army and marched north in a mighty manner.

Because time was very tight, he didn’t have enough time to go back to the villa to say goodbye to Fan’an.

He Yu and Fan Muqing stayed behind, one was responsible for transporting food and fodder, and the other was responsible for looking after the business and operations of the southwest base camp.

Watching him riding away, but looking back in the direction of the villa from time to time, Fan Muqing naturally understood his thoughts and hurriedly organized a dozen people to go to the villa to pick up Fan An.

In the other village, Fan An was feeding her baby complementary food. Hearing the information transmitted by the system, she quickly put down the bowl and got ready. Sure enough, the sound of hurried horse hooves was heard at the gate of the courtyard.

Fan An didn’t waste even a second, he immediately picked up the baby and jumped onto the carriage.

The carriage took a shortcut while galloping and finally caught up with Jiang Lanyue’s team on the official road outside the city.

When Jiang Lanyue saw his beloved and the child, he couldn’t help but feel excited!
He was very skilled in martial arts and jumped into the carriage, hugging the mother and son tightly.

After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.

They have been married for three years and have never been separated.

For the sake of his family and her, he is about to face difficult days…

Fan An’s eyes were moist, he bit his lower lip and said softly: “You have to be careful, I’ll wait for you to return safely here.”

Jiang Lanyue nodded gently: “You must take good care of yourself and the children. Once the situation stabilizes, I will immediately pick you up to reunite with me.”

She looked up at him, tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and she forced a smile, “Jiang Lanyue, you must be fine, I’ll wait for you to come back here…”

He reached out and wiped away her tears, “Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

When Fanan heard this, tears flowed uncontrollably.

He smiled, kissed her cheek gently, and whispered, “Little Fatty, can’t you bear to leave me?”

She listened to his joking tone and burst into laughter: “Aren’t you talking nonsense? Can you bear to part with me?”

He looked at her, gently held her round face, and looked at her carefully.

“I can’t bear to do that either… For our early reunion, I will strive to fight a decisive battle as soon as possible. I will not let the soldiers be separated from our families, and I will also give the people a stable and prosperous environment.”

She nodded and said softly, “I believe you, you can do it.”

He kissed her, deeply and hard, with full reluctance to let go, until the little guy in the car couldn’t bear it anymore, waved his little hands, made “ah” sounds, and wanted to join their kiss.

They smiled and leaned over to kiss the little one on the cheek.

She coaxed her son: “Ming’er, call daddy!”

Although the little guy couldn’t speak yet, he finally uttered the syllables of the word “dad”.

Jiang Lanyue stroked his round head gently, looked at his big eyes and facial features that were similar to hers, and said with a smile: “Little Fatty, Ling’er and Ming’er both look like you. The next baby must look like me.”

She smiled and agreed: “Okay!”

He opened his arms again, hugged the mother and son tightly, and whispered: “Tell Ling’er that daddy will be back soon. You will have to work hard at home. Little Fatty… I will miss you very much.”

After saying that, he let go of them, kicked open the car door, and flew away.

Fan An watched him riding away on horseback, tears welling up in his eyes again…

Jiang Lanyue led the army northward. The obstacles along the way were quickly cleared and they soon arrived near the capital.

The old marquis, wearing his old battle robe, arrived at the closed city gate accompanied by his son and supported by his grandson.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a trembling voice: “This king…is finally back…”

Recalling the dangerous situation when the grandfather and grandson were lured into the city, and the embarrassment of their hasty escape, he gradually smiled.

“Yue’er, this moment has finally arrived!”

The old marquis was sitting outside, commanding the soldiers to attack the city.

At the same time, Jiang Lanyue led a group of experts and quietly headed out of the city. At the foot of a mountain, they successfully found a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace.

Jiang Lanyue led the team through the secret passage, rushed out of the palace, and headed straight for the city gate.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, they finally succeeded in opening the city gate.

In the villa, Fan An held his son’s hand and walked slowly. The princess walked in front with Xiao Ling’er, smiling.

Jiang Linger clapped her hands happily and shouted loudly: “Brother, come and chase sister!”

The younger brother seemed to be encouraged. He tried to move his calves forward, but his steps were unstable and he fell down with a plop.

Everyone laughed.

The child was not injured after the fall; he got up and continued walking unsteadily.

The princess looked at the snow outside, then at Fan An’s bulging belly, and smiled, “It’s already spring. In two months or so, the baby should be born. An An, your belly is much bigger this time than before.”

Fan An calculated the date and replied with a smile, “Probably the end of February.”

This child is the twin pill that Fan An exchanged for from the system.

The reason why she tried so hard to have children was because the system told her that the energy required to travel back would require her to give birth to at least six sons of destiny.

Fan An felt that it was too troublesome to conquer the male protagonist in each plane one by one, so it would be better to take advantage of the fact that the male protagonist was good in all aspects and maximize his energy at once.

Out of six children, only two were left.

Fan An directly exchanged for twins.

She stood up, holding her waist, gently stroked her big belly and smiled.

Once this baby is born, she can finally, at last, go back.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Jiang Lanyue would send someone to deliver a letter every month. Each letter contained only a few words, saying that they were safe and asking them not to worry.

Wars were frequent, and after the war in the north ended, it moved to the east and then spread to the south.

Just then, the sound of carriages was heard outside the door.

Chunxiang hurried over to report: “Princess, Crown Princess, Miss He is here.”

“Please!”

He Pingping was pregnant a few months ago, and the fetus was unstable. He Shunshun went to the Fan family and took care of her day and night, taking good care of the fetus.

Fan An also sent people to deliver supplements every few days. She felt relieved when she heard that her sister-in-law’s complexion was getting better day by day.

She was pregnant and had two children, so it was difficult for her to find time to go out. Before Jiang Lanyue left, he told her not to go out as much as possible, because the secret guards were guarding the manor, and it was the safest place, so she had to be careful.

He Shunshun smiled as he talked about He Pingping’s condition: “She has reached a stable stage and is doing well in all aspects. You seem to be doing well too.”

Fan An smiled and said, “I don’t feel uncomfortable, but I eat a lot more than before. When I was pregnant with Ming’er, I ate a lot, but much less than now.”

He Shunshun’s eyes widened, and he said in surprise: “I haven’t seen you for a few months, why has your appetite changed so much?! Could it be twins?”

The princess said excitedly, “Quick! Ah Shun, check An An’s pulse first.”

He Shunshun nodded quickly, helped Fan An sit down, and reached out to take her pulse.

After a moment, she nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: “They are really twins!”

The princess and Fanan looked at each other and laughed.

He Shunshun asked gently, “How do you feel? In addition to your big belly, do you feel uncomfortable in other places?”

“I didn’t sleep well, and I always felt hungry, but everything else was fine.”

“You need to be more careful next time.” He Shunshun looked at the two children playing over there and said, “Fortunately, you have already given birth to two children before, so you can be considered an experienced mother, but you still need to be more careful.”

When the princess heard this, she became nervous and asked, “What’s wrong? Ah Shun, what do you need? What do you want to eat? Please tell me in detail.”

Fan An patted the back of her hand and said softly, “Mother, don’t be nervous.”

He Shunshun was not careless and explained, “It’s about three months away from delivery. The bigger the fetus is, the more nutrients it needs, and the faster it will grow. Fortunately, your health has always been good, otherwise some people would have been unable to bear it.”

Fan An frowned and whispered, “Then what should I do next?”

He Shunshun replied: “It’s best if you can eat and sleep now. Try not to move around too much. Your fetal position is already low, and I’m afraid you’ll give birth prematurely, which is not good for the two little ones.”

The princess calculated the days and said, “The weather is getting warmer day by day. By the time the baby is born, it should be late spring, when the weather will be comfortable and warm.”

“I understand what the princess means.” He Shunshun said, “Even if the baby is born prematurely, it will be easier to raise it in warm weather.”

Fan An bit his lower lip and said, “Then I will try to move less.”

“Yes, sit and lie down more. The longer the fetus is in the belly, the more stable it will be.”

The princess thought for a moment and advised, “Ah Shun, how about this? If everything is fine over there, you can stay here and help for a while. With a doctor like you here, we can feel more at ease.”

He Shunshun agreed readily.

In the next month, Fan’s belly grew like a balloon, but sleeping at night became extremely difficult and she had to sit most of the time.

As Fanan’s sleep quality deteriorated, her appetite gradually decreased, and her once round face became thinner, but her belly was still expanding rapidly.

The princess felt very sorry for her when she saw how hard she was working but she still persisted.

The princess said with concern: “An An, I will send someone to invite your biological mother to accompany you. During this period of time, you stayed in the house alone, and your mother had to take care of the other two children. She really had no time to take care of you. Let your biological mother come to chat with you, and you will be happier.”

Vanan gave the princess a grateful smile.

“Thank you, concubine.”

On this day, Fan Muqing happened to be at home. Although the two houses’ residences were not far away, he had not seen his sister for a long time, so he accompanied his mother.

At the villa, seeing Fan’an’s pale face, haggard expression, and bulging belly, and the fact that he could only sit up, both mother and son felt very distressed.

Fan Muqing suggested: “Mother, why don’t you stay here and help take care of your sister.”

Mrs. Fan hesitated a little and whispered, “But Ah Ping is also pregnant.”

Fan Muqing’s face turned serious, and he replied, “She is only four months pregnant, and she still has five months to give birth. We have many servants at home, and they can take good care of her. And my sister is pregnant with twins, and it’s very hard, and her husband is not around, so you should stay and accompany her.”

With his mother’s company and He Shunshun’s careful care, Fan’an spent another month safely.

The princess brought her children over every day to chat with her.

Xiao Ling’er was very obedient and often sang for her mother’s big belly, saying that it was for her younger brother.

As a boy, Xiao Ming’er is a little more naughty than his sister. Every time he sees his mother’s big belly, he likes to reach out and touch it, and sometimes even pat it gently.

Although Fanan has lost a lot of weight, her mental state is very good due to the company and care of everyone.

Jiang Lanyue might be too busy as he hasn’t sent anyone to deliver a letter in more than a month.

Fan An couldn’t help but feel a little worried, so he sent someone to find Fan Muqing.

Fan Muqing smiled and said, “Don’t worry, he’s just busy with work. The soldiers who were carrying food came back yesterday and brought a letter. He said that several counties in the southeast have been basically captured, and other areas have also been recovered.”

Fan An chuckled and said, “I’m relieved that he’s okay.”

Fan Muqing took a step forward and held his sister’s hand worriedly.

“Don’t worry too much. The most important thing now is that you take good care of your baby.”

Vanan nodded in agreement, then closed his eyes tiredly, leaned on two large pillows, and fell asleep unknowingly.

Mrs. Fan’s eyes were slightly red, and she said softly, “Let’s not disturb her. She hasn’t been able to sleep well for two days.”

Fan Muqing sighed, let go of her hand, carefully picked up the thin quilt beside him and covered her with it.

In fact, the reason why the prince did not send anyone to deliver a letter this month was because his right arm was injured by an arrow and he was unable to write a letter.

He knew his sister was smart enough not to have anyone imitate his handwriting, lest she notice and become even more worried, so he came over himself to help explain the lie.

In his reply, he mentioned that his sister was pregnant with twins and was having a very hard time, and he hoped that she would take care of herself. He would come back to visit her as soon as the situation stabilized.

Although my sister didn’t say it, she was very worried about the prince. If he could come back, my sister’s condition would definitely be much better.

That night, Fan Muqing returned home.

He Pingping stroked her belly and softly complained about the hardships of pregnancy, while tactfully asking about the recent situation of her mother-in-law and her sister.

Fan Muqing held her hand and explained to her her sister’s current condition of “loss of appetite and poor sleep”. He sighed and said, “If you weren’t pregnant, I would have gone over to help her.”

He Pingping felt a little embarrassed and whispered, “That’s not what I meant… If possible, I’m willing to help.”

Fan Muqing nodded after hearing this, expressing her understanding: “You feel so miserable just because you are pregnant with one child. Imagine that your sister-in-law is pregnant with two now.”

After hearing this, He Pingping said nothing more.

Time passed quickly, and one evening, the sound of hurried horse hooves outside the villa broke the silence.

Soon, a man in armor and covered in dust strode into the village.

“The prince is back!”

“The prince is back!”
