"Why is there no sound?"

In the courtyard outside, a group of people who were anxiously waiting with their heads out noticed that the house had become quiet. The cries of pain had stopped, there was no more sound of a baby crying, and no maidservant came out. They were confused as to what was going on.

"Has she already given birth?"

"I didn't hear any crying. I didn't see the midwife come out to announce the good news. What's going on?"

Marquis Dingguo stood there like a stake, his hands clenched tightly in his sleeves, sweating profusely, and staring straight into the room without moving a muscle, his eyes dark and tense.

Ling Qianyi's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he yelled at Marquis Dingguo:

"You are already old, and you still want to have children! Why do you want to have children? Am I not your biological child? If anything happens to my mother, I will die with her!"

Marquis Dingguo tightened his grip a little, kept his lips tightly pursed, and stared intently without saying a word.

Someone said:

"There has been no sound for so long, could something have happened?"

Suddenly, Marquis Dingguo rushed into the room.

"My lord, you can't come in! When a woman gives birth, there is a lot of blood. If a man sees it, it will damage his luck and it will be bad for you!" The midwife hurriedly stopped him.

Just as he stopped the Marquis, another figure rushed in:

"mother!"

"Young Marquis, you can't come in either!"

The midwife hurried to stop the young marquis, but Marquis Dingguo walked to the bed and the young marquis was unable to stop him, and both of them went in.

Midwife: “…”

"Mother! Mother!"

Qin Ye had just withdrawn his hand when he saw two grown men coming in, pulling a blanket over the princess' body. "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"The fetus has been corrected, and it is only six fingers dilated now. It will probably take another hour or two before the baby is born."

The birth only took about ten minutes, but the cervix was slow to dilate.

Some mothers who are giving birth to their first child may not be able to conceive even after one or two days. The eldest princess gave birth to Ling Qianyi eighteen years ago. Although this is her second child, the time interval is too long, so giving birth to the first child is as difficult and time-consuming as giving birth to the first child.

Qin Ye's words reassured everyone.

Marquis Dingguo heaved a sigh of relief, the huge stone hanging in his heart finally dropped. His tall body shook as if a building was about to collapse, and he staggered to the bedside:

"Baby!"

Holding the eldest princess's hands, he called out a name of endearment in a low and hoarse voice, filled with deep love and concern.

Qin Ye: “?”

precious……

The princess was breathing weakly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she had used up all her strength after several hours of tossing and turning, and her mind was also very blurry:

"Children...our children..."

Even if half of one's life is gone, the first thing one thinks about is still one's flesh and blood.

Dingguo Hou's eyes were red. He held her hands tightly and kissed them gratefully. "Baby, you have worked hard. Baby, you are so brave. The child is safe. You should take a rest now and don't talk. With Old Seven's wife here, nothing will happen."

Sound after sound, love murmurs.

Qin Ye suddenly ate a mouthful of dog food.

The couple are both in their thirties and are so loving. Even Zong Zhengchen has never called them by such a nickname...

Ling Qianyi stood aside, looking at the couple, the worry in his eyes gradually dissipated and turned cold.

Ever since his mother became pregnant with her second child, she has paid less attention to and shown less love for him. Now he was standing on the bed and couldn't fit in at all, as if they were a family of three and he was just an outsider.

He pursed his lips, said nothing, and suddenly turned and left.

When Qin Ye saw him, he subconsciously called him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the boy had already left.

She hurried out and saw the boy's back disappear at the gate of the courtyard.

He frowned and said, "Yun Ying, go and take a look."
