I Was Sold to My Mortal Enemy (Double Transmigrations) - Chapter 70

Shi Yi returned to his room with a heavy heart, struggling to accept the situation. While he knew this should be a cause for celebration, and he had witnessed other shuangers in this world becoming pregnant and giving birth, when it was Xiao Liu’s turn, he found it hard to grasp.

As a man himself, Shi Yi had spent more than a decade unable to fathom the concept of becoming pregnant, particularly the idea of being capable of such a feat was daunting to him.

Pei Xing walked into the room and noticed Shi Yi’s troubled expression. He was unsure of what was bothering him, so he hugged him, comforting him with a kiss on the cheek.

“What’s on your mind? You look quite distressed.” Pei Xing inquired.

Shi Yi sighed, adopting a rather fatherly tone, “I can’t help but think about Xiao Liu. He’s just turned eighteen a few months ago and now he’s pregnant.”

Pei Xing was also taken aback by the news, not realizing the gravity of the situation. In his mind, Xiao Liu remained the little child from over a decade ago. He didn’t expect that the child would get pregnant so soon.

“This is indeed quite shocking.” Pei Xing admitted.

“You don’t understand; I have this strange feeling that my child is pregnant,” Shi Yi confided. “You can relate to this feeling, after all, Xiao Liu can be considered as your ‘student’ in a way.”

Pei Xing tried to imagine the situation but found it challenging to grasp. He held his forehead and remarked, “Okay, stop talking about it. I understand your sentiments.”

Shi Yi found some consolation in Pei Xing’s empathy. He refrained from further discussion on the matter. Now that Xiao Liu’s pregnancy was a reality, they must do their best to adapt to the situation and provide care to Xiao Liu, ensuring that no mistakes were made.

Qin Yue had been healing nicely. Xie Yu also brought the finest doctors from Imperial Hospital to attend to Qin Yue. Although the poison was dangerous, it was not incurable, albeit at the cost of using a lot of life-saving pills.

Fortunately, Pei Xing and Zhou Yan ventured to Shihun Mountain, gathered the necessary raw materials, and provided them to the Imperial Hospital to prepare the necessary medications. Qin Yue remained patient and did not urge Xie Yu to return to the palace.

This prolonged stay lasted for six months, and it was only when Xiao Liu gave birth to twins—a boy and a girl—that Shi Yi’s heartache and concerns were finally eased. A full moon celebration was held after the twins’ birth.

On this occasion, Shi Yi unexpectedly crossed paths with Lu Ruiyang and Chu Huanjing. Lu Chao had entered officialdom a few years ago and now lived in Shangjing with Wen Jun. The frequent back-and-forth travel made it challenging for him to visit his friends, so he sent gifts through a messenger.

However, what took Shi Yi by surprise was the appearance of Lu Ruiyang and Chu Huanjing. He had assumed they might have parted ways. But to his amazement, when he and Pei Xing traveled to Xizhou, Lu Ruiyang and Chu Huanjing had a child together. The young boy was named Lu Yi, and he bore a resemblance to Lu Ruiyang.

Initially, Lu Ruiyang had despised his wife, but over time, he transformed into a doting husband. He now clung to Chu Huanjing relentlessly. While witnessing this, Shi Yi couldn’t help but feel sympathetic for him, wondering if the man’s face was hurt from wearing a constant smile.

Shi Yi stood before Lu Ruiyang, surveyed him from head to toe, and shook his head. “I never expected this from you. You’ve truly transformed, from a scoundrel to doting husband.”

“What do you mean by that?” Lu Ruiyang asked, puzzled.

“In the past, you had a bevy of young women in your harem, and you often treated your wife with disdain. You were kind of a scoundrel,” Shi Yi said, casting a quizzical glance. “I thought you two would part ways, but now, after not seeing each other for more than ten years, how come you’ve changed.”

Hearing the mention of his past behavior, Lu Ruiyang felt somewhat embarrassed. He was genuinely bewildered by his actions during those times. Initially, he believed that Chu Huanjing married him due to his greed for the Lu family’s wealth, and he expected him to be a gold-digger.

This misguided belief led him to try to humiliated him every other way, even though they were already married.

“Those people in the backyard were recruited by me to annoy Huanjing, I didn’t touch them at all. They were already sent away.”

Shi Yi, with his mouth agape in disbelief, couldn’t understand it, he remained silent for a long time and then asked, “I think you’re sick, very very sick, why do you like causing trouble for yourself?”

Lu Ruiyang tried to respond but found himself unable to refute it for quite a while. Was he truly sick? As he reflected on it now, it seemed that his mind was not right back then.

While the two of them conversed, Shi Wu and Xiao Liu held a child in each hand and carried them to a prepared table. They asked the two children to draw lots, but to everyone’s surprise, the younger brother grabbed a sword. The boy even pointed out at Lu Yi and grabbed someone’s clothes in front of him, causing laughter among the others.

Qin Yue smiled and shook his head, saying to Shi Wu, “Fourth brother, if this little one wants to learn martial arts in the future, I can teach him.”

Shi Wu was taken aback and then smiled, saying, “Alright, I will thank second brother first.”

Qin Yue genuinely accepted them, which left Shi Mo so excited that he burst into tears. He hugged them and swiftly arranged to visit their ancestral hall. Although their parents had passed away, their ancestral graves were still there.

After the celebration, they discussed the plan and a group of people took a carriage to their hometown, He Village.
