Shen Yiguang felt that Yang PeiMin giving birth to twins in one go took a great toll on her body, so he insisted on making her tonic soup at home.
They're all for nourishing and replenishing blood and energy.
Back in the hospital just after she gave birth to the twins, the doctor had said she was somewhat deficient in blood and energy and needed to recuperate properly.
Shen Yiguang always took it as if it were an imperial edict.
This angelica is exactly for replenishing blood and energy.
Today, they slaughtered two more chickens, specifically to put in the soup. They used a big ceramic pot inside a large iron pot to stew it all afternoon; the scent filled the inside and outside of the yard.
Everyone else thought it smelled delicious, but Yang PeiMin was a bit put off by it.
However, Shen Yiguang was doing it for her good, and it wouldn't be right to go against his wishes, so she compromised, "I'll drink it later."
Only then did Shen Yiguang nod.
