The siblings laughed at the same time, and even the two midwives beside them couldn't help but chuckle, explaining for what seemed like the umpteenth time, "Babies aren't pretty when they're born, but they'll grow out of their shapes after a month or two."

"With such a beautiful lady and such a handsome younger brother, how could the child be ugly? The nephew takes after his uncle!"

Gan Qiongying and Gan Lin both laughed as they looked at the two little ones together.

“The wet nurses are on their way, so don’t worry, sister,” Gan Lin said. “I’ve found both of them for you, and their milk is very good.”

"Hmm," Gan Qiongying said, "That's for the best. If I were to feed it, I really wouldn't know how..."

Soon, two wet nurses arrived. Gan Lin paid them a lot of money, not only to take care of the child, but also to take care of the inexperienced Gan Qiongying.

They were even allowed to bring their children along, and were promised food and lodging. With such treatment and money, the two women were overjoyed, knowing they wouldn't have to worry about making a living for at least a year.

The midwife stayed by Gan Qiongying's side for several days before finally leaving the mountain. During this time, Gan Qiongying drank the herbal soup prepared by Xiao Qiansong, and her mental state improved more and more.

The two little ones started drinking proper milk, and within a few days their little faces had grown plump, and they no longer looked like two thin and shriveled kittens.

Like two... larger kittens.

Gan Qiongying spends her days watching the "two kittens" sleep and nurse, and then exchanging ideas with the two wet nurses on how to care for the children.

But even changing diapers didn't require Gan Qiongying's help. Gan Lin quickly learned how to do it too. Gan Qiongying often slept through the night. Sometimes, when the wet nurses took turns resting or went out for a late-night snack, they could even see Gan Lin changing diapers...

These past few days have been nothing short of chaotic. Now that she has calmed down, she belatedly feels fear, and also... an extraordinary longing for Li Hua.

Especially when she saw Gan Lin's tall figure bending over to play with the child, Gan Qiongying couldn't help but think, what if Li Hua knew...

If Lihua knew he had two babies, he would be overjoyed and ecstatic.

But now is not the time to tell him; we need to wait a little longer.

Once the person who replied returns, we'll find out what's going on with Li Hua.

Gan Qiongying didn't have to wait long; she gave birth on May 16th, and the child was born at 1-3 PM.

On the morning of May 20th, before Gan Qiongying had even woken up, her two little ones had already woken up and had a feeding.

Meanwhile, the sound of hurried footsteps and hushed voices could be heard outside.

Hearing Gan Lin's movements, Gan Qiongying called out to him. Gan Lin responded quickly and came in from the outer room a moment later. His eyes were bright, and he excitedly said to Gan Qiongying, "Sister, the full moon is here!"

Upon hearing this, Gan Qiongying's eyes widened immediately, her first thought being, "How is this possible! Isn't Full Moon with the Grand Princess of Hui'an?"

How did Full Moon find this place?

However, Gan Lin quickly explained to Gan Qiongying what had happened. Ying Jiu, who was sent to deliver the message, had delivered it to the wrong person and was injured. Unable to return, he sought help from the Grand Princess Huian.

Princess Hui'an sent out a gyrfalcon overnight, sending Yingba back with a message. It just so happened that Manyue was taking care of Princess Hui'an's third daughter, Xiji, who had just finished her postpartum confinement.

Upon hearing that Gan Qiongying had given birth, Princess Hui'an sent Manyue and Yingba back to report.

After hearing this, Gan Qiongying was completely relieved and asked, "Where are they?"

Kageya, being a grown man, and having no news to report, didn't come in, but Mangetsu soon followed.

The master and servant exchanged a glance. Manyue covered her mouth tightly with her hand, but tears streamed down her face like a burst dam.

Gan Qiongying waved to her, her eyes also a little red. How could she not miss Manyue?

That was the person who had been taking care of and accompanying her ever since she transmigrated to this world. After Gan Qiongying left her, every time she thought of her, her heart would ache.

The more she cared about the full moon, the less she could let her run away with her. She should be safe and well with the Grand Princess of Huian, so why did she have to run here?

Manyue cried even more bitterly than Ganlin had a few days earlier. She couldn't utter a complete sentence, but she didn't dare to raise her voice for fear of disturbing the child. She knelt on the ground with her head on Gan Qiongying's knees, and she was almost sobbing uncontrollably.

By the time the full moon finally recovered from its shock, an hour had passed.

Although Gan Qiongying also wiped away tears, she felt more joy upon seeing the full moon.

They even joked about your full moon celebration: "Look at your eyes, they're swollen like two peaches. When you meet my babies later, their first impression of you will be that you're a peach that has come to life!"

Man Yue laughed again, but then she started crying again.

Gan Qiongying: That's enough, you'll go blind from crying... Don't make me cry, people say that if you cry during your postpartum period, your eyes will hurt every month.

Although Gan Qiongying didn't believe in this, it was still easy to use it to coax Manyue.

Full Moon dared not cry anymore and forced herself to hold it in. Finally, she was able to say a complete sentence to Gan Qiongying.

"My lady, I miss you so much." Manyue hugged Gan Qiongying tightly, all her unspoken words condensed into this one sentence of longing.

This made Gan Qiongying shed two more tears.

However, she hugged Man-wol back and said, "I missed you too."

The master and servant spent a long time catching up, talking for more than two hours. Gan Lin was even worried that Gan Qiongying might run out of energy.

However, Gan Qiongying was in excellent condition; she had been feeling really stifled during this period.

Gan Lin is very considerate, but Gan Qiongying can't tell him everything. Having a girl by your side is irreplaceable.

The two of them had so much to talk about that their mouths were dry.

Fortunately, Xiao Qiansong was very perceptive and soon brought over some refreshing fruit tea. Fruits were a rare treat at this time of year.

Especially since they were neither in the palace nor the princess's residence, Gan Qiongying saw the pear in the tea, paused for a moment, and asked Gan Lin, "Did you rob a passing merchant?"

Gan Lin hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was sent by Chen Jiajun."

Gan Qiongying: "..." This is outrageous!

"You told Chen Wa about me?" Gan Qiongying looked at Gan Lin, her eyes serious. "Our whereabouts must never be known to anyone, Chen Wa, he..."

"Don't worry, sister. It's not me who said it. A while ago, on the day you gave birth, when I went with the grain delivery team, I happened to run into the people who were escorting the grain. It was Chen Wa."
