The wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang, whose belly was still flat, had just woken up and was about to wash up when she saw the maid come in.

The head maid bowed and reported, "Madam, someone has arrived from the Ningyuan Marquis's residence."

The wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang, still not fully awake, asked in a hoarse voice, "Who's here?"

The head maid thought she hadn't explained herself clearly, so she continued, "Madam, the housekeeper from the Ningyuan Marquis's wife is here."

After waiting for a while, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang finally came to her senses. She yawned slightly and ordered, "Bring the person to the flower hall."

A quarter of an hour later, Chang Mama met the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang. After gracefully performing the formal ceremony, Chang Mama said, "Madam, I have come here for two reasons. The first is to announce the good news. My wife gave birth to a boy and a girl today."

Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Xiangyang's wife hurriedly asked, "Is it born? And twins? Is my sister-in-law okay?"

Mother Chang smiled and replied, "Madam, it's twins, and we just found out before the birth. My wife is doing well, thank you for your concern."

The wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang unconsciously rubbed her belly, feeling relieved. Giving birth is a big deal for women, and many women die from dystocia. This was especially true with twins, so it was truly not easy.

After thinking for a moment, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang asked, "What is the second thing?"

Mrs. Chang, who was sitting in the lower seat, said, "Madam, the second thing is that my wife wants to discuss something with you. I wonder if it would be convenient for you."

Glancing at the sky outside, Lady Xiangyang asked the maid, "What time is it now?"

The head maid replied, "Madam, it is now noon."

It was still early, and if it wasn't something important, the Ningyuan Marquis' wife wouldn't have asked the housekeeper to come over. The Xiangyang Marquis' wife said to Chang Mama, "Please wait here for a moment. We'll go to the Ningyuan Marquis' mansion together later."

Mother Chang nodded and said, "Okay, ma'am."

Half an hour later, after dressing up and having a meal, the wife of Marquis Xiangyang got up and went to the mansion of Marquis Ningyuan.

Bai summoned the steward from the outer courtyard to the mansion, and a screen separated the two of them. After explaining the arrangements for the third day bath banquet, the steward bowed and left.

After Ye Ge'er and Nannan had their meal, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang arrived.

As soon as she entered the room, the wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang burst into laughter and said, "Oh, sister-in-law, you have done a great service to the Gu family this time! Quick, bring my nephew and niece to me. These twins, a boy and a girl, I have never seen before."

Bai was also infected by the smile of the Marquis of Xiangyang's wife. She smiled and replied, "Haha, you're exaggerating. I'll bring the child over to you later."

Holding Bai's hand, Lady Xiangyang said, "Sister-in-law is too polite. According to seniority, you are my sister-in-law. If you really can't call me sister-in-law, why not call me by my nickname, Lan'er or Sister Lan?"

Bai nodded and said, "Then I won't be polite, Sister Lan."

The wife of the Marquis of Xiangyang sat on the embroidery stool and looked at Bai and said, "That's right. Sister-in-law looks in good spirits, and I'm relieved."

After a brief exchange of greetings, the nurse brought Ye'er and Nannan over. Lady Xiangyang took two golden lockets from her sleeve pocket and placed one on each of them, saying, "Ye'er, I'm your aunt. Our Ye'er will surely be a formidable general in the future." As she placed the lock on Nannan's, she observed her still-partially shed skin and whispered, "Nannan, may you be in good health and all goes well."
