Liuyin gave birth to twin boys in this pregnancy.
Although she felt that she hadn't had much trouble giving birth, Qiao Xuanwen was still extremely nervous.
Only when the midwife said that Liuyin and her baby were safe and sound did he finally feel relieved.
Looking at the two children by the bedside, Qiao Xuanwen felt a surge of tenderness and joy.
"After the baby's one-month celebration, I'll take you to Yangzhou, how about that?" Qiao Xuanwen's gaze fell on Liu Yin's slightly pale face, and he felt a pang of heartache.
"How could it be so fast?" Liu Yin asked in surprise.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go? I've already made all the preparations there."
"Besides, the children have their mother and servants to take care of them, so we don't need to worry." The man gently wiped the sweat from Liu Yin's forehead with a handkerchief, his tone tender.
Qiao Xuanwen had to do what he had prepared immediately.
Moreover, he actually prefers to spend time with his wife rather than take care of the children.
Since Liuyin became pregnant, her mother has taken care of everything for her, and he has no say in anything.
Not only that, Princess Fu'an wanted to stay by Liuyin's side at all times to take care of her, for fear that something might happen to her.
Because of this, Qiao Xuanwen was in a truly unspeakable predicament.
If they went to Yangzhou, he and Liuyin could do whatever they wanted without worrying about their mother disturbing them.
Qiao Xuanwen felt a sense of anticipation and looked at Liu Yin with hopeful eyes.
The man's eyes looked pitiful, inexplicably so, and Liu Yin chuckled softly, "Okay."

Although there were two boys and none of her beloved granddaughter, Princess Fu'an was still overjoyed, and Marquis Wanning was even more so.
They knew about their son's thoughts, but they didn't think anything of it.
After all, Qiao Xuanwen has always loved lively gatherings, and because of his daughter-in-law's pregnancy, he hasn't gone out for a long time.
She was wrong about that. She was worried that her son's frequent early departures and late returns would upset Liuyin.
Who would have thought that the once arrogant playboy would change himself for love?
The names of the two children were also chosen by the Marquis of Wanning: the older one was named Qiao Yu, and the younger one was named Qiao You.
The two children resembled their mother and father, respectively. Fortunately, both were well-behaved and did not cry loudly when they were still infants.
Looking at her two adorable grandsons, Princess Fu'an felt her heart melt.
Even when Qiao Yu and Qiao You were still young, they seemed to have already shown their talents.
Qiao Yu is more lively and physically strong, and likes to go out and play; Qiao You is gentle and prefers to stay in the study to read.
Marquis Wanning specially invited a tutor to teach them.
Since having a child like Qiao Xuanwen, the Marquis of Wanning has not had such high expectations for his grandson.
I don't expect you to be good at anything, but you should at least have one skill that you can be proud of.
Fortunately, the two grandsons are not like their father and can endure some hardship.
Marquis Wanning was greatly relieved. Fortunately, his son did not stay at home for long when he returned, and his two grandsons were unaware of their father's past.
If his grandsons were spoiled like their father, he truly felt that the Marquis's mansion would have no future.
Qiao Xuanwen took Liuyin to live in his fiefdom early on.
He would only come back once a year, and then stay at the Marquis's residence for half a year.
Every time they come back, they bring many gifts for the two children, which makes them cheer.
Although Qiao Yu and Qiao You wished their parents could stay home with them, they also knew that their father worked very hard.
They understood why Qiao Xuanwen and Liu Yin couldn't stay by their side for long.
Liu Yin had been wondering why the little ones who used to pester her to stay at home had suddenly stopped mentioning it.
Qiao Xuanwen kept his achievements and fame hidden.
If it weren't for Liu Yin's insistence on returning to the Marquis's residence to spend time with the children, Qiao Xuanwen would never have wanted to return to the capital.
It wasn't until he left the Marquis's mansion and lived in his own fiefdom that Qiao Xuanwen truly understood the feeling of being carefree.
Without parental supervision, he and Liuyin could go wherever they wanted.
What's more, after he returned, he had to watch as his two children took his place.
However, Qiao Xuanwen felt sorry for his children, so he tolerated it.
As a father, he had failed in his duties, instead leaving them to suffer in the Marquis's mansion. Qiao Xuanwen felt somewhat guilty about this.
Since the child was born, the parents have stopped caring about him and have focused all their attention on their grandson.
Every time Qiao Xuanwen saw young Qiao Yu practicing his horse stance under the scorching sun in the training ground, or saw the innocent-looking Qiao You studying with the teacher, he couldn't help but sigh.
It's all because he's such a useless father! That's why they have to endure so much at such a young age!
When I take Liuyin to Wangjiang Tower later, I'll bring them back plenty of food!
Liuyin became pregnant again six years later.
Under Princess Fu'an's constant urging, Qiao Xuanwen had no choice but to take Liuyin back to the Marquis's residence.
Even though he had promised his mother that he would take good care of Liuyin.
Princess Fu'an did not believe it.
Even with two grandsons, Princess Fu'an still had high hopes for the baby Liu Yin was carrying.
The grandson is indeed well-behaved and lovable, but he is not a little girl and cannot inherit her precious jewelry.
Fortunately, Liuyin gave birth to a son and a daughter this time.
The youngest of the four children was the girl.
Even though a newborn baby's appearance is not yet discernible, Princess Fu'an secretly believed that the little girl would definitely grow up to be a beauty.
