The baby that came out next didn't cry, which terrified the midwife. They were professionals in this field, and they would slap the baby if it didn't cry, but this one didn't cry even after being slapped.

Gu Nian stopped the midwife who was about to hit the baby, saying, "Auntie, let's wash the baby first."

The midwife thought, "No, we have to make her cry first."

The midwife knew Gu Nian's identity, and Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu agreed with Gu Nian's idea. There was no other way but to wash the child first.

The water for washing was prepared by Gu Nian. She melted three jade beads in the basin and used it to wash the twins clean and wrap them up.

The younger sister didn't cry, but she was still alive, even though she looked a bit smaller than her brother, she was still alive.

Peng Yizhu took good care of herself during her pregnancy. After learning that her daughter was otherwise normal except for not crying, she fell asleep.

Peng Yizhu had milk the next day. She fed her younger sister first. Although the little one didn't cry, she knew how to eat and ate very contentedly, while her older brother cried beside her.

Gu Qingyuan was so anxious that he discussed with Peng Yizhu whether they should use a wet nurse.

At first, the two thought there was only one child, and the doctor hadn't said it was twins. Peng Yizhu was also very good at raising the children and had found a wet nurse, but she wasn't allowed to live in the mansion. Now that there were two children, Gu Qingyuan, who was a father of infants for the first time, was really worried that the children would go hungry.

In his previous life, when he raised Gu Nian, Gu Nian was already a few years old; when he raised Gu Ren, Gu Ren was over a year old; and when he raised Gu Yingxue, Gu Yingxue was almost a year old. Therefore, he had absolutely no experience in raising infants.

Peng Yizhu felt that she had plenty of breast milk, so she refused the suggestion: "Let them drink mine first. If it's really not enough, we'll ask someone else. I don't want my children to grow up knowing that one of them grew up drinking my milk and the other grew up drinking someone else's milk."

Gu Nian planned to take care of her for a while longer. She brought a bottle of jade beads. Given the efficacy of the jade beads, she felt there was no need to hire a wet nurse. She never mentioned the jade beads to Gu Qingyuan or Peng Yizhu, not even to Gu Ren. She simply put the jade beads into Peng Yizhu's daily food.

Madam Peng sighed to her sister-in-law, "My sister is a whole size smaller than my brother. I'm afraid he stole her food while she was in the womb, so he has to be patient and wait for her to eat. Auntie, this is the first girl in our Peng family, we must take good care of her!"

Peng Yizhu looked at her daughter, who was eating heartily in her arms, and smiled: "Yes, Dad and my brothers just love pretty little girls. This child is so lucky!"

Seeing that Peng Yizhu was in good spirits, Gu Nian suddenly mentioned, "Auntie, Xin Xin wrote to say that the time chosen by the sorcerer over there for Xiao Yu's burial was before dawn yesterday."

Peng Yizhu froze, looking at her daughter in her arms in disbelief.

The brother and sister were born before dawn. The little sister was so tiny that no one knew it was twins while she was in the womb. Moreover, she didn't cry or fuss after being born...

This made Peng Yizhu and Gu Qingyuan, who had already experienced a time-travel incident, think in that direction. Perhaps, this was Xiaoyu.

Peng Yizhu's tears fell silently.

Gu Qingyuan took a handkerchief and wiped her eyes: "You just gave birth, you can't cry, it will ruin your eyes. We'll raise our daughter well from now on. The Peng family has seven cousins, and the Gu family has so many cousins, don't worry, she will have a smooth life."
