Chapter 1361 An uninvited guest
"Congratulations, you have two healthy boys," Master Zhou congratulated Yu Dong as he handed the eldest born to her. Yu Dong looked down in her arms and was surprised to find no lotus cinnabar on his forehead. This boy was not a mer son but a son!
"We ...We have heirs now!" Chen Mi gasped as he looked at the small bundle of hope and faith that Yu Dong was carrying in her arms. It was heavily emphasized by the Late Empress that only sons or daughters could become the heirs of the family. Mer sons were not allowed to take on the name and the properties of the family.
In case there were only mer sons in a family, the properties of that family no matter how small would be taken away by the officials after the death of the head of the family leaving the widowed husbands and the mer sons.
It caused a lot of trouble in the lives of those who did not have someone to take care of them. Chen Mi and the rest were really worried about having mer sons and not an heir to their family. But now that worry was eased as Shen Li had given birth to two sons.
Yu Dong glanced at the healthy baby boy in her arms before handing him to Ye Liu who took the boy with an excited expression. While Ye Liu hugged the little one, Yu Dong walked over to where Shen Li was. She placed her hand on his forehead and kissed him before saying, "You have worked hard."
Her words brought a smile to Shen Li's face, heavens knew how worried he was when he heard that the children were boys. He thought that he had given birth to two mer sons, fortunately, they were not mer sons but sons.
Of course, he had nothing against mer sons but he really wished these twins to be either girls or boys. Because only then would their family have heirs. And with how much he suffered, Shen Li was quite certain that he would not be giving birth anytime soon again.
"There is no need for you to say something like that," Shen Li smiled at Yu Dong, even though he was touched by the fact that Yu Dong came to look for him first instead of hugging and coddling their sons. It showed that he was still important to her and that his status in her life hadn't changed.
"How can I not?" Yu Dong said to him as she hugged him tightly with one arm. She was glad that he was safe and their family now had an heir because whenever she received the letter from the Yamen about the declaration of an heir, she felt like her teeth were going to be grounded into dust.

"Thank you for your help, I heard from my husbands that you were of great help to them," Yu Dong said as she offered the gift packet to Fiftj Master Cui, who wanted to refuse but she said to him, "It is all thanks to your nourishing soup that my husband was able to recover despite bleeding so much. I am grateful for it, please do not refuse me."
When Fifth Master Cui heard her words, he did not refuse her anymore.
"Then..Then I will take it," Fifth Master Cui said as he took the envelope from Yu Dong. When Yu Dong saw his nervous expression, she simply smiled at him and did not say anything more as she did not wish to scare the poor mer anymore.
She then turned her attention back to Shen Li while Fifth Master Cui took his leave and went outside. As soon as he stepped out of the house, and walked toward the rest of the mers of the Cui family, he questioned, "Where is my wife and the rest?" He looked around the courtyard but did not see them.
Elder Master Cui who was served the Mango sago drink by Mammy Lin, turned to look at him while munching on his sago pearls. He answered, "They went to take a look at the fields that are available at the moment. By the way, what are you holding?"
