Chapter 395: Chapter 394: Twins

Jin Yanzi shook her head, "If there’s one baby, people can tell from the shape of the belly. But if there are two in your tummy, they can’t tell. I just wish we have a brother and a sister..."

Chen Afu’s child hasn’t been born yet, and this little creature has already been pampered - even referring to the stomach as ’tummy’."

Before she finished speaking, a sound came from the branches of the Yan Chenxiang, and a Golden House was violently shaking.

Jin Yanzi giggled, "Don’t panic, Beibei. Brother will take you out to play with your brother and sister."

When Chen Afu saw Jin Yanzi fly to the Golden House, she lifted her clothes. Jin Yanzi picked up Beibei with her mouth and put it directly on Chen Afu’s stomach and it stood up.

Then a miracle happened again. The normally quiet fetus became mischievous. They couldn’t tumble around now, so they started throwing punches and kicking, causing her belly to lump up here and there.

Jin Yanzi bounced from one lump to another, giggling uncontrollably. Jin Bei also "enjoyed" it. Every time it was placed on a lump, its wings opened a bit, and its beak stretched a little, as if it wanted to kiss the fetus in the stomach.

At this point, every fetal movement was a painful experience for Chen Afu, because her belly had grown to its limit. Every time the little guy in her stomach hit or kicked, it was very painful.

But seeing this scene, she was happy even in pain.

She stroked Jin Bei and said, "They will be out soon. I wonder when Beibei will hatch. If Beibei comes first, it will be the older sibling. If they come out first, Beibei will be the younger sibling."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jin Bei began to shake and shed a faint golden light.

Chen Afu quickly comforted him, "Don’t rush. It’s actually quite nice to be the younger sibling. Your older siblings will always take care of you and love you."

Jin Bei seemed to calm down after hearing this.

Jin Yanzi chirped, "Beibei is a sister, I can feel it. It’s hatching very quickly now. If it weren’t for your big belly and the siblings inside, I don’t know how many years it would take to hatch."

Chen Afu laughed, "So, I really deserve to be BeiBei’s mother?"

Jin Yanzi chirped, "Of course, mama has done a great deed, I’m so grateful."

As the conversation ended, Chen Afu suddenly felt a great pain in her belly, so severe that she could hardly breathe.

She said, "Oh no, I think I’m going into labor."

After saying this, she gritted her teeth against the pain, tidied up her clothes, and exited the space. She leaned against the table, starting to groan, and then ate the Green Swallow’s Nest in her handkerchief.

People outside heard the noise, and immediately rushed in. The midwife comforted her, "Don’t panic, Big Mistress. You’re just starting labor pains, it’s still early."

A room in the east wing, the Ear Room, had been prepared for her. Chen Afu was guided there by Mrs. Li. When the pain came, she lay down; when it eased, she got up and moved around.

By the evening, the pains worsened.

Chen Afu had never imagined that childbirth could be so painful and that it could take so long, as if she had lived two lifetimes.

Her labor pains began at the end hour of the 29th day; come nightfall, the cervix had only dilated four fingers. By the next morning, it had dilated to ten fingers, but the fetal position was wrong and the babies weren’t out yet. Chen Afu felt like she was about to die. She would faint from the pain and then be awakened by the midwife, only to faint again from the ongoing pain. She could hear crying sounds from outside the window. Dabao’s crying was especially sharp, "Dear mother, if it hurts you so not deliver... wu wu wu ... I don’t want brothers or sisters..."

She could also hear Ms. Chu and Xiao Lixuan crying, but she couldn’t make out what they were saying.

After the children’s cries subsided, she could hear the crying of Mrs. Wang’s woman. Accompanying these cries was Chu Lingxuan’s voice.

"Afu, you must hang in there..."

"Afu, you must deliver the babies well, we are all waiting for you outside..."

"Afu, what will I do, what will our children do if you’re not around..."

Later, Chu Lingxuan’s calls turned into sobbing, and Chen Shiying was also crying.

After that, she heard Jin Yanzi cry, "Mama, I’m sorry. If I’d known childbirth would be this hard for you, I would have given you more Green Swallow’s Nest. It’s all because I was too stingy... wu wu wu..."

Finally, on the morning of October 1st, when she felt like she was about to die, like her soul was already leaving her body, she heard the midwife yell, "All right, Big Mistress, push!"

Gathering up the last bit of her strength, Chen Afu heard a loud cry. Her body finally relaxed a bit.

Another midwife exclaimed loudly, "It’s a boy, a healthy chubby boy."

Cheers erupted from outside the window.

Chen Afu was about to sleep when a midwife warned her, "Big Mistress, there’s one more inside. Don’t fall asleep, muster your strength. It won’t be long..."

After a brief rest, Chen Afu felt another bout of intense pain in her belly. In just half an hour, she gave birth to the second child, after which she knew nothing more.

The second child’s crying was as loud as the first. The midwife exclaimed, "Congratulations, congratulations, another boy, another chubby boy."

When they found out that both children were successfully born, the first boy weighing five jin and four liang, and the second boy five jin and one liang, cheers erupted again from outside.

Chen Shiying and Mrs. Wang both started crying again, this time out of excitement.

The main court was brilliantly lit. Chu Lingxuan, Mrs. Wang, Chen Shiying, and Chen Ming were all waiting here. Initially, Mrs. Jiang and old Marquis were also there, but Mrs. Jiang had returned home the previous night, and the old Marquis had been persuaded to go back at midnight.

Chu Lingxuan had been held back outside, not allowed to enter the delivery room. Upon hearing that there was no sound from Chen Afu, he became anxious, "What about Afu? How is she?"

Mrs. Li came out smiling, "Sir, don’t worry. The Big Mistress fell asleep."

Now that it was late at night, they didn’t dare bring the children for them to see. Knowing that both babies were safe and healthy, and that their daughter had given birth to two robust boys for the Chu family, Chen Shiying and Chen Ming were overjoyed. Although they regretted not seeing their grandsons right away, they were relieved and went to the Outer Court to rest.

Chu Lingxuan sent someone to inform old Marquis and Mrs. Jiang.

By the time the midwives had tidied up Chen Afu and had moved her, still unconscious, to another room, Chu Lingxuan and Mrs. Wang hastened in.

When Chen Afu woke up, it was midday. She had been moved back to the bedroom, and there was a small bed next to the big bed.

Mrs. Wang was entertaining one of the boys. Seeing Chen Afu awake, she laughed, "Did you wake up? My girl, you found a good husband. He’s been by your side until he just left for the West Wing. The old Marquis, your father, as well as your other father, are all in the West Wing Room... "

Chen Afu smiled and said, "Mother, let me see the children..."
