Inside the house, Yao Susu bit her lips, tears rolling down her cheeks. She was shaking with pain and could hardly speak.

The midwife's strong hands pried her legs apart and encouraged her, "Auntie, push harder, and the baby will be born soon."

Yao Susu's hair was slightly messy, with a few strands of hair reflected on her cheeks, making her face look even more fair, delicate and pitiful.

"It hurts..." Tiny moans kept escaping from her throat. Yuping wiped them away with a handkerchief, and with red eyes, she encouraged him, "Auntie, bear with it a little longer."

The faint cries from inside the house tortured Xu Zekun's nerves. He clenched his fists and suppressed the urge to go in.

Through the window screen, he raised his voice and said, "Susu, don't be afraid, I'm here to protect you."

Yao Susu was in so much pain that she didn't know what day it was. She vaguely heard Xu Zekun's voice, and her tears began to fall faster. She murmured, "Grandpa..."

"Ouch, the head is showing, the head is showing, please try harder, Auntie." The midwife was sweating profusely and was very anxious. The woman in labor was weak just now and seemed to be about to give up.

Now that he had finally gathered his strength, he quickly spoke out to encourage Yao Susu.

Yao Susu gritted her teeth and used up her last bit of strength. With a heart-wrenching scream, she finally heard the cry of the baby being born.

Then came the midwife's high-pitched, joyful voice: "It's born! It's a little boy!"

Xu Zekun felt his heart tremble outside. After he let go of the breath he had been holding, he felt his whole body numb. After being relieved, he felt deeply ecstatic, and his legs went weak.

Mrs. Wu was even more ecstatic and looked inside the house impatiently, wanting to see her grandson as soon as possible.

In the house, Yao Susu had not given up yet, because she was pregnant with another baby. However, after the first child was born, the second one was not so difficult. Yao Susu bit her lower lip, and finally heard another cry.

The midwife held the second child in her arms, her lips trembling uncontrollably: "Oh, it's a little girl, twins, a boy and a girl, such joy!!"

Mrs. Wu was so anxious because she didn't see the baby come out for a long time. She didn't care about anything else and went into the delivery room. At this time, her brother had been wrapped up by the midwife. Mrs. Wu took him and loved him so much that her heart almost melted.

Before Xu Zekun could see the child, he was hit by a strong smell of blood as he entered the room. Looking at Yao Susu lying on the bed, dying, he felt his heart break.

"Susu." He walked over quickly and saw that Yao Susu's hair was almost completely soaked with sweat. At this moment, strands of hair were stuck to her cheeks, and the blackness contrasted with the paleness of her face. Xu Zekun's eyes were filled with deep pity and heartache. He wiped the sweat from Yao Susu's forehead with his hand and whispered, "Susu, you have suffered."

The Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion had two more young masters overnight, and the whole mansion was rejoicing.

When Ningyuan Hou found out, he hurried back from his concubine's place.

Mrs. Wu looked at this and that, and was extremely happy. Both children were born well, with thick hair, round little faces, and fair skin. They inherited the good looks of Xu Zekun and Yao Susu, and were like the boy and girl under the seat of Guanyin. They were simply lovable.

Although she valued her grandson, the granddaughter was born late and was smaller than her brother. When she cried, she was like a little kitten, whimpering, which made Mrs. Wu very distressed. She kept saying that the wet nurse who took care of her granddaughter was good at feeding her. Her granddaughter suffered in the womb, and now she had to take good care of herself so that she could catch up with her brother as soon as possible.

Yao Susu was extremely tired after giving birth and fell asleep. After she fell asleep, Xu Zekun hurried to see his son and daughter.

He couldn't take his eyes off his daughter the first time he saw her, because she looked so much like Su Susheng. Su Su was a beauty, and it was foreseeable that his daughter would also be stunningly beautiful in the future. The prince had already anticipated how many boys would be attracted to his daughter in the future the first time he saw her. He felt a little upset when he thought about it.

As for his son, Xu Zekun certainly loved him. Seeing how strong and healthy he was, he thought that he would be able to protect his mother and sister together with him in the future.

The prince stood beside him, and all his coldness turned into tenderness.

With the birth of two children, the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion completely dispelled the shadow of childlessness and was bathed in the joy of the arrival of newborns.

Ningyuan Hou did not sleep all night, and named his grandson and granddaughter by quoting classics. His grandson was named Xu Lingyi, which came from the line "How can a gentleman not be Lingyi" in "Zhanlu". His granddaughter was named Xu Yaoguang. Yaoguang is a star that symbolizes auspiciousness and is also the brightest star in the night sky. Ningyuan Hou hoped that his granddaughter would have a bright and brilliant life.

The prince originally wanted to name the child himself, but he didn't expect that his father would make the final decision overnight.

Xu Zekun: “…”

Yingxue Pavilion

Yao Susu held Yaoguang in her arms and looked at Lingyi beside her, a gentle smile spread across her lips: "Lingyi, Yaoguang, what a nice name."

She was wearing a crabapple-red Su satin top and a headband on her head. Her eyebrows and eyes were pretty, but her originally pretty face was inevitably a little pale due to childbirth.

Xu Zekun touched his daughter's soft little hand, still feeling somewhat dissatisfied: "I had originally started looking up ancient books a few months ago to think of a name for our child, but I didn't expect that my father would come out on top later."

Yao Susu chuckled. The prince was becoming more and more childish.

When she smiled, her body moved, and she felt pain again. She frowned, which made Xu Zekun anxious. He quickly took Yaoguang over and said, "It hurts again. Lie down and rest."

Yuping and Yuzhan also quickly helped Yao Susu lie down. Seeing Xu Zekun so nervous, Yao Susu said softly, "It's okay, it will be fine in a few days."
