Without listening to her younger sister's roundabout and shy explanation of her purpose, she couldn't help but tease her, "Brother-in-law is right. Asking for bird's nest for having children won't work. You should listen to him more."
Wushuang blushed crimson, stamping her feet and protesting, "Sister, how could you help him bully me!"
“What kind of bullying is this?” Wu Xia covered her mouth and laughed. “Now that you’ve consummated your marriage, I’ll be frank with you. If he ever stops bullying you like this, you’ll have nowhere to cry.”
She won't cry!
What's so good about that? I don't know why Chu Yao likes to do it so much.
After she gives birth, she will never let him touch her again.
He had no time to listen and burst into laughter, realizing that his younger sister hadn't quite grasped the concept yet.
But she knew Wushuang's temperament and knew that she was stubborn. The more she talked, the worse it would be. So she said seriously, "The matter of having children has something to do with mathematics."
"Huh?" Wushuang exclaimed in surprise, "How could it be related to mathematics?"
What is this calculation, and how is it calculated?
Without even blinking at her, he said, "It's true. Look, your brother-in-law and I have been married for over 10 years and have four children. That's an average of one every two years, which isn't a lot. But think about it, how many times do we have sex in two years?"
Wu Shuang vividly recalled the shameless days she had spent with Chu Yao over the past few days...
Upon further calculation, one can't help but be even more surprised: "My goodness, does it take so many attempts to have one child?"
“That’s right. [The updates are fast, the website is clean, and there are few ads,” Wuxia said. “Luckily, I’m the only one in your brother-in-law’s backyard, otherwise, we might not even get pregnant once a month, and it would be very difficult to get pregnant.”
Caught off guard, Wushuang was caught off guard by her sister's display of affection, leaving her speechless.
If Chu Yao is willing to touch it, then let him touch it as much as he wants.
Anyway, it's not that unbearable.
At least it's better than watching other women give birth to Chu Yao's children while she has to pretend to be generous and take care of the illegitimate son.
Wushuang made up her mind that when Chu Yao came back that night, she would pester him to write a contract, just like her brother-in-law had done back then, swearing that he would only ever have her for the rest of his life.
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Sitting in the carriage on the way back, she couldn't help but smile.
"Your Highness, the Prince Yi is behind us. Should we stop and say hello?" Qiqiao asked in her ear.
Wushuang peeked through the curtains and, sure enough, saw Chu Ye's entourage turning into the alley where the Prince Yi's residence was located.
Perhaps her carriage had gone quite far, so her brother-in-law's men didn't notice her.
Just as he was about to send the guard accompanying the carriage over to say something, his gaze suddenly fell on a guard next to Chu Ye's carriage.
Chu Ye's carriage had already turned into the alley, so Wu Shuang only saw the guard's back.
He was tall and robust, wearing the uniform of a guard from the Prince Yi's mansion. There was nothing particularly outstanding about him, but Wushuang felt a strange sense of familiarity with him.
She paused, momentarily unable to recall where she had seen him before.
In that brief moment of hesitation, Chu Ye's entourage had already turned into the alley.
It would be foolish to send someone to chase after them at this point.
Wushuang then ordered the carriage to continue its journey.
She might have seen the guards around her brother-in-law before, so it's not surprising.
Wushuang quickly put the matter out of her mind and focused all her efforts on sharing a room with Chu Yao.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and her period came half a month later.
I probably need to work even harder.
Wushuang thought to herself sullenly.
She was in low spirits, and Chu Yao would naturally notice.
But when it comes to getting pregnant, it's just like the saying goes, "Man proposes, God disposes." Even though he's always been omnipotent, there's no way to get immediate results in this matter except through hard work.
"Now that spring is here and the flowers are in bloom, why don't you go out and play more with Wanwan and the others?" He could only try to distract her. "I heard that the peach blossoms at Biyun Temple are in bloom. Do you want to go and admire them?"
Wu Shuang thought Chu Yao's suggestion was excellent. Staying cooped up at home all day without exercise would definitely take a toll on one's health. And if one's health isn't good, conceiving might be difficult.
She decided that she would go out for a walk every day from now on.
She spent a busy month admiring flowers in the western hills and enjoying spring outings in the eastern suburbs, and then her period returned.
Wu Shuang is a stubborn person. The more things go wrong, the more she insists on going. Every few days, she invites Chu Wan, Chu Pei, and Qiao Sheng to go shopping at the market in Qianmen.
The girls loved shopping, and they were all quite wealthy. After only half an hour of shopping, they were already carrying loads of bags, and their entourage couldn't carry them all.
Wushuang was busy at night, and during the day her physical strength was not as good as the three unmarried women. She soon became too tired to walk around and wanted to find a place to rest.
"Why don't you go to a teahouse?" Qiao Sheng suggested. "The Lu Family Teahouse is very famous. The tea and snacks are delicious, and the private rooms have a street view. You can see us as soon as you open the window."
Chu Pei said, "The guards can all go with you, sister-in-law. They can also take the things with them. If we need to buy anything else, we can have the shopkeeper deliver it to our homes. As for us, Cousin Sheng can protect us anyway."
Chu Wan was a little troubled. She still preferred to follow Wushuang the most, but there was a bookstore a few shops away, and she wanted to buy some books for her brother Bo.
Wushuang noticed Chu Wan's hesitation and reassured her: "You, Peipei, and Cousin Sheng should enjoy your shopping. It's not easy to come out, so of course you should buy enough. I'll wait for you in the private room of the teahouse and order your favorite tea and snacks."
The Lu Family Teahouse was always bustling. Wushuang, wearing a veiled hat, stood in the lobby and watched the excitement for a while. Only after the guards told her that the private rooms had been prepared did she head upstairs.
The mahogany staircase was gleaming with paint, and Wushuang's legs were weak, making it quite difficult to climb.
