Supported by the midwife bestowed to her by Concubine Guo Xian, Fu Shan was walking slowly in the yard.
When Yin Hui arrived, she took Fu Shan’s arm, and the two sisters-in-law chatted as they walked.
Fu Shan’s belly was already very big, but her face that was fat before had become thinner. There was no other reason. The pregnancy of twins was too hard, and she was uncomfortable everywhere, and her appetite naturally couldn’t improve.
“The Fourth Master wrote a letter the day before yesterday, saying that he had already rushed back, but I don’t know if he could catch up with the birth of the children,” Fu Shan said with a smile while supporting her waist.
For Fu Shan, Wei Xuan at the time was more like her relatives. Having a child was such a dangerous thing. If Wei Xuan could come back to accompany her, she would feel at ease.
Yin Hui also picked up what she liked to hear and said, “Huizhou is so close, the Fourth Master is so quick, maybe he will arrive today.”
Fu Shan looked at her with gratitude in her eyes, saying, “Actually, you’re here with me, so it doesn’t matter if he is not.”
Yin Hui laughed and said, “You’re just saying silly things; I am not like the Fourth Master, treating you well.”
Tired from walking, Yin Hui helped Fu Shan go inside. After lunch there, when Yin Hui was about to leave, Fu Shan suddenly went into labor. Yin Hui had given birth to three children, so she was very calm. The midwife bestowed by Concubine Guo Xian also arranged everything calmly. The delivery room had already been cleaned up, and the Imperial Doctor who delivers children was waiting there.
Yin Hui washed her hands and face, changed into Fu Shan’s clothes, and accompanied her to the delivery room.
“After giving birth to these babies, I won’t be pregnant anymore.”
After enduring it for so long, the pain of pregnancy completely broke out at this moment, and Fu Shan cried out to Yin Hui.
Yin Hui held her hand, followed her, and said, “Well, let’s not have any more children. There are three on your side and three on my side, just about the same number.”
Fu Shan kept crying, “I think I want a daughter.”
Yin Hui also cried with her, and couldn’t help it, “You will have two soon, and one of them must be a daughter.”
Although it was the second time, Fu Shan was having a difficult birth. Yin Hui’s hands were held by Fu Shan. The night outside was shrouded.
Ba Lang had already returned and was stopped by the nurse in the front yard to wait. Fu Shan drank some sugar water, and at that time, she advised Yin Hui to go back to the house.
But Yin Hui glared at her and said, “I will leave after you give birth.”
Fu Shan laughed and cried.
Suddenly, Wei Xuan shouted anxiously from the yard, “Fu Shan! How are you doing, Fu Shan? I’m back!”
Wei Xuan had actually arrived!
Yin Hui was overjoyed, and Fu Shan wept with joy. This joy also boosted her strength. After another half an hour of pain, Fu Shan gave birth to a son, and after waiting for a while, a daughter was born.
When the midwife announced the good news, Fu Shan smiled from ear to ear.
Yin Hui also smiled, “You really live up to your name. You wanted a daughter, so you got a daughter. This blessing is really enviable.”
Fu Shan had the strength to laugh, but she didn’t have the strength to speak.
Yin Hui helped her wipe her face and neck, and breathed a long sigh of relief. “Okay, the Fourth Master must be in a hurry to come in. I’ll go see the children.”
Fu Shan nodded weakly, grateful and reluctant.
Yin Hui touched her forehead, smiled, and then left. She came out first, and when Wei Xuan saw her, he hurriedly asked what was going on inside.
Yin Hui smiled and said, “Everything is fine, the mother and children are safe. Fourth Brother, don’t worry.”
Wei Yani murmured, “No hurry, no hurry.”
“The little brother weighs about six pounds, and his sister weighs four pounds. They look about the same.”
“Many twins don’t have this weight. The Princess is noble, and the little kids are also good-looking,” the midwife complimented with a smile.
Seeing that the two children were safe with his own eyes, Wei Xuan finally let go of half of his restless heart and sat down with the armrests of the chair, looking exhausted.
Yin Hui smiled and said goodbye.
Wei Xuan wanted to send her off, but Yin Hui said, “Why are you being polite with me? Take good care of Fu Shan; I treat her as my own sister.”
Wei Yan’s eyes turned red, saying, “Fortunately, you were here today; otherwise, she…”
Yin Hui quickly persuaded him to stop. In order not to let Wei Xuan say more polite words, she turned and left quickly.
It was already dark, and lanterns were hung in the Xiang Mansion. When Yin Hui came to the front yard, she saw the steward leading a person over; it was Wei Luo.
Yin Hui slowed down in surprise.
Seeing her, Wei Luo asked, “How is the Fourth Sister-in-law?”
Yin Hui smiled, saying, “A pair of twins were born, and the mother and children are safe. Do you want to go in and see the children?”
Wei Luo said, “Let’s wait another day. The Fourth Brother has to take care of his wife, so I won’t cause trouble for him.”
Yin Hui then said to the steward, “Then don’t go to pass on the news. The Fourth Master is tired enough as he came back from a long way away.”
The steward thanked Prince Shu and his wife on behalf of the masters and sent the couple out of the mansion respectfully. Wei Luo then helped Yin Hui get into the carriage.
After entering the carriage, Yin Hui could no longer bear the soreness in her waist. She took off her shoes and lay on the couch with her legs on Wei Luo’s side.
Sighing comfortably, she tilted her head slightly, looked at him, and explained, “I have been sitting on the delivery bed for a long time, my waist is so sore, please bear with me.”
Wei Luo could imagine her hard work, otherwise, she would not be so tired.
“Didn’t you eat dinner?” He stretched out his hand, rubbing her back, and asked with a frown.
Yin Hui rubbed her stomach and said, “How can I get the time to eat? Seeing how uncomfortable the Fourth Sister-in-law was, I was not in the mood to eat.”
Wei Luo looked into her tired eyes and said, “You cried with her.”
Yin Hui smiled, and then, belatedly noticed that he was wearing his dragon robe. She smelled it carefully, and it still had a faint scent of sweat.
She asked in surprise, “You didn’t just come back from the Ministry of Criminal, did you?”
After dinner time, he was very worried, so he went to pick her up first.
Yin Hui sighed, “I sent someone to deliver the news, what were you worried about?”
Wei Luo replied, “I wasn’t worried about you. I was worried about the Fourth Sister-in-law.”
Yin Hui turned around and smiled, “Look at me, I’m tired.”
She raised her hand to brush a strand of hair in front of her eyes, but Wei Luo suddenly grabbed her hand.
Yin Hui followed his gaze and saw a circle of purple strangle marks on her fingers, which happened to be held by Fu Shan.
Yin Hui subconsciously wanted to shrink back, but Wei Luo asked coldly, “How did it happen?”
Yin Hui explained, but his expression was still ugly.
Yin Hui teased, “Does your heart hurt?”
Wei Luo pursed his lips, let go of her hand, and turned his face away.
