Chapter 1367: The Arrival Of Boy And Girl Twins (2)
“Your brother hasn’t done anything to you. Why should you punch him?”
“He blocked my sister’s way so that she couldn’t find our family.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
The father and son were going crazy. Two nurseries had been decorated, both of them in pink and pastel shades and ready for a girl. Gu Qingyao looked at her stomach. She thought that if it really was a boy, she felt very sorry for him.
When she came to full term, Gu Qingyao smoothly delivered a pair of boy and girl twins. Her son was born first, and her little daughter was the youngest among the three.
Although it was not two girls, just one girl was good enough.
Mo Beihan and Mo Yang were both delighted.
But the little boy was rather pitiful.
The moment the girl was born, they fought to carry her. After all, the Mo family had no girls, only heaps of boys.
The little boy lay next to his mother. No matter how loudly he cried, it did not affect everyone’s enthusiasm to see his younger sister.
…
Mo Yang’s four older cousins were all old enough to have their own children, but a little girl was different!
This was a girl. They had never had a younger sister so the feeling was completely different. Besides, she was Aunt’s child, so naturally, she was very welcome.
Gu Qingyao turned to look at her second son lying by her side. Never mind, you still have your mother to love you!
The birth of two children in the Mo family was big news in the capital. Many people had been very interested ever since Gu Qingyao became pregnant.
They were already envious of Gu Qingyao. Now their envy grew.
...
In a n.o.ble family, many things needed to be handed over. No one wanted to work so hard all their life and have no one to succeed them in the end. Neither did they want to hand their affairs over to someone else to take over.
Although the Mo family had many children, Mo Beihan was the head of the family in this generation. Naturally, Mo Beihan’s children would succeed him.
But in the past, Mo Beihan only had one son, Mo Yang.
He did have a successor, but only one.
In such a large family, of course it was best to have a few more children.
Especially since Mo Yang’s older cousins were all very capable. If there was strife within the family in the future, Mo Yang would not have anyone to help him.
Outsiders always thought that this was Gu Qingyao’s weak point. Many wanted to fill this gap.
Gu Qingyao’s family was very powerful. She might not lose her position as Madam Mo, but if Mo Beihan only had one son, surely he would not mind a few illegitimate sons.
The rarer something is, the more valuable it becomes. It was also true of children.
In the past, Mo Beihan only had one son. Of course many people had ideas about that. But the arrival of the twins meant that even if he had illegitimate sons, he would place less importance on them.
Having twins was more detrimental to health. After Gu Qingyao gave birth, Mo Beihan refused to let her leave the house until she had completed a 50-day confinement period.
Although they had paid close attention to her health, Mo Beihan felt that his wife was much frailer after childbirth.
Women age faster after they turn 30. Childbirth was especially detrimental to health.
Actually, Gu Qingyao was considered to be much more youthful than many others. She had been carefully cared for during childbirth. All the n.o.ble ladies in the capital envied her!
But as her husband who saw her every day, Mo Beihan could naturally discern the small changes in his wife.
“I’m sorry, Yao Yao. It’s been hard on you. Don’t exhaust yourself. Take good care of your health. Mo Yang and I will take care of the children! I’ve specially hired many servants to care for them. Don’t worry.”
Gu Qingyao looked at herself in the mirror. Her complexion was just as rosy, and her skin was as delicate and soft. But she had just given birth, and after such a long confinement, she was still slightly plump and had not yet regained her figure.
