Xia Yuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, my granddaughter must be raised with endless care and love. These little rascals will be her protectors; if anyone dares to bully her, we’ll send them to defend her, making sure no one in the Capital City dares to mistreat her!"
By the ti both babies were born, daylight had already broken. Without waiting for the maids and sisters to tidy up the room, Xia Zheng couldn’t hold back and rushed inside.
Since the second child was born, he hadn’t heard Lin Yuan curse him, which really worried him!
The disheveled bed was yet to be cleaned, vaguely revealing patches of blood; Xia Zheng was utterly shocked, his legs turned weak, and his vision beca blurry.
Because the woman lying on the bed was incredibly weak.
Her face was so pale, even her lips had lost their color. Her ssy hair clung to her forehead, although it had been wiped, sweat still seeped from her face.
Used to Lin Yuan’s boldness, seeing her so fragile and quiet suddenly made Xia Zheng’s heart feel like it had been wrenched and smashed, breaking into pieces.
"Yuanyuan!"
He didn’t even glance at the two tiny babies beside him, instead grabbing Lin Yuan’s hand, hoping she would open her eyes to look at him.
But the woman on the bed kept her eyes tightly shut, refusing to open them.
Xia Zheng was terrified and wanted to call out again when the old sister anxiously reminded from behind, "Young Master, the Young Lady is exhausted, let her rest for a while!"
Sleeping?
"She’s asleep? Not... not passed out?"
The old sister chuckled helplessly. No wonder the Young Master appeared so lost and distressed upon entering; he thought the Young Lady was in danger!
"Yes, yes, Young Lady was worn out from the whole night of labor and arguing; she’s simply out of energy. Now she’s fine, let her have a good rest. Young Master, why don’t you go rest for a bit? You’ve been up all night too."
"No, I’ll stay here with her."
Even knowing Lin Yuan was just asleep, until she opened her eyes, Xia Zheng’s heart couldn’t be at ease.
The old sister wanted to persuade further but was stopped by Princess Anle who just entered. Understanding her son and the deep affection he shared with Lin Yuan, she decided to let the young couple have so ti alone!
After consulting with the two midwives and having Lao Fan check Lin Yuan’s pulse to confirm there were no anomalies, Xia Yuan and others finally felt relieved enough to go and rest.
Princess Anle also instructed the attending sisters and maids, called over the wet nurses for the babies, gave them instructions, then returned to rest.
The room was quiet, with the two little babies taken by their wet nurses to a side room for feeding, and the maids and sisters had thoroughly cleaned the room.
Xia Zheng held Lin Yuan’s hand, quietly watching her, his thoughts drifting back to their first eting.
Back then, he was just the Young Master of Fuman Building, secretly following Lao Fan to Lin family ridge in search of better dishes and chefs.
He rembered sneakily eating the at pies Lin Yuan had just made, even being scolded by her as a thief.
Who would’ve thought back then, that he’d end up marrying this unruly woman without a trace of propriety, and even have children?
Truly, events are often unpredictable!
Lin Yuan breathed steadily, sleeping for quite a while before finally opening her eyes.
The mont she opened them, she saw Xia Zheng looking at her with a warm smile, and couldn’t help but smile back.
"Yuanyuan, you are amazing!"
Xia Zheng affectionately kissed the corner of her lips and could hardly sit up straight.
A night full of thrills and anxiety was finally put to rest at this mont.
Though he hadn’t personally witnessed Lin Yuan’s labor, just hearing it allowed him to feel the pain and hardship she endured.
"Yuanyuan, thank you."
His slightly cool lips pressed against Lin Yuan’s still pale lips, his voice mumbled.
He had nothing else to say. In this mont, all he wanted was to hold her tightly, doing nothing, saying nothing.
Lin Yuan weakly smiled, gently hugging the man in front of her, closing her eyes to continue sleeping.
With her beloved man protecting her like this, what else couldn’t she endure?
News of Lin Yuan giving birth to twin boys quickly spread, and naturally, the first to visit were Lady Liu and Lin Jiaxin.
Despite being her own daughter, there were too many ancient customs and protocols, so no matter how worried he was, Lin Jiaxin couldn’t enter her room to visit.
However, Lady Liu brought her husband’s words, becoming teary-eyed out of both heartache and joy as soon as she saw her daughter.
"Yuanyuan, how are you feeling? Any discomfort?"
After a short rest, Lin Yuan had mostly recovered her strength; at least her complexion wasn’t as ghastly pale as before, and she had just eaten so food; speaking was no longer a problem.
Seeing her mother arrive, Lin Yuan moved slightly, wanting to sit up, but was stopped by her mother.
"Child, you can’t just move around after giving birth; it’s trouble if you hurt yourself! Lay down quickly!"
Princess Anle followed in behind, and upon hearing her in-laws’ words, she also opened up, "Indeed! Yuanyuan, you must listen. A woman goes to the Ghost Gate during childbirth, but postpartum care mustn’t be neglected either. This month, you must stay in bed and not move around!"
Since Lin Yuan woke up, Princess Anle hadn’t left her side, even personally feeding her als.
One couldn’t deny, this mother-in-law was truly incredible.
Lin Yuan felt even closer to her, nodding and smiling, "Mom, you’ve told this seven or eight tis now, I’ve rembered it all."
"Child, how can you talk, so irreverently!"
Lady Liu glanced at Lin Yuan, knowing that Princess Anle treated her daughter-in-laws like her own daughters; she was worried her daughter may say sothing improper, upsetting Princess Anle.
However, Princess Anle didn’t find anything wrong with such words and instead smiled, speaking on Lin Yuan’s behalf, "Don’t bla her, in-law, Yuanyuan is right. Today, I did talk a tad too much, but what can I do, when Yuanyuan gave us two robust boys! Haha."
