Chapter 732 - 355 Jiaqian_2
It was unclear whether he understood, but his sobs slowly subsided. Qian Yixiu finished nursing him from the right side, then handed him over to the wet nurse, Mother Yang, to continue feeding.
Once the two little ones were full and had their diapers changed, they were placed on Qian Yixiu’s large bed.
While they lay there, Qian Yixiu insisted that they should not be swaddled tightly like crayons; she wanted them to be able to move freely, and she was very adamant about this.
This was the most content moment for the little ones. They lay with their grape-like eyes wide open, looking around and making "ah, ah" sounds. Occasionally, they would blow bubbles because there was still some milk in their mouths, which looked like bubble gum from her past life. Perhaps they hadn’t grappled enough earlier, soon the two tiny beings were embracing again, one sucking on a nose, the other on a chin.
Qian Yixiu watched with a smile, amused, until they started to cry again. She quickly separated them, soothed them, and then had someone take them back to their cribs.
Usually, at this time, the Eldest Old Lady would visit the children with Lady Cui. However, the sudden drop in temperature today meant that the Eldest Old Lady certainly wouldn’t come.
In Wanshou Hall, the Eldest Old Lady had made it to the door when she saw the gloomy weather and, heeding to everyone’s advice, decided not to visit her great-grandsons. She turned back and sat on the luohan bed, feeling as uncomfortable as if a cat were scratching at her heart.
Lady Cui said with a smile, "Eldest Old Lady, your granddaughter-in-law will visit your great-grandsons on your behalf and will report back to you on everything she sees."
The Eldest Old Lady repeatedly urged, "Good, good, go quickly, and see if my two great-grandsons have grown plumper and if there have been any new changes. Also, ask Daughter-in-law Zhao which guests her family wishes to invite for the children’s full moon celebration."
Lady Cui smiled as she curtseyed to the Eldest Old Lady and turned to leave. Not only had she become more talkative, but her laughter was also louder now.
With an intentional glance at Lady Zhang and Lady Xia, she thought to herself that although her own family had fallen, she had gained two plump grandsons, a firmer support. This was what good fortune looked like: she might lose that, but destiny would compensate her with this.
