As for the wet nurses, they were straightforward and honest women from the village, each with a child just three months old. Yang Mengchen allowed the two to bring their children to the Yang family home, while also taking care of their health and nutrition.

At this moment, two midwives were busily directing the maids to prepare things in an orderly fashion, when Qiao Niangzi told Yang Mengchen that the wet nurses were in their respective rooms with the children.

Upon seeing Yang Mengchen enter, the two midwives were startled and wanted to ask her to leave, as Ms. Yang was a young girl not yet of marriageable age and it was considered unlucky for her to enter the birthing room. Before they could speak, Old Lady Luo said with a smile, "Jiujiu, you're back, now we can feel at ease." Hearing Old Lady Luo say this, the two had no choice but to hold back.

Lady Xiao, who was sweat-drenched and slightly pale on the bed, revealed a reassuring smile when she saw Yang Mengchen, "Chenchen, you're here."

Yang Mengchen smiled and comforted her, "Aunty Xiao, don't worry. With me here, you and the twins will be safe and sound." She then took Lady Xiao's pulse, checked the baby's position and the dilation of the cervix. There were no issues with the delivery, but the cervix had only dilated to two fingers' width; there was still some time before childbirth.

"Aunty believes in you!" said Lady Xiao, her eyes moist with emotion, as she had long since regarded Yang Mengchen as her mainstay.

Seeing Yang Mengchen checking Lady Xiao's cervix directly, the two midwives' eyes bulged, but upon seeing Old Lady Luo and the other senior members maintaining their composure, they dared not comment further.

Besides Yang Chengyou and Yang Chengbin, all members of the Yang family and Xiao Wanxue, who had heard the news, rushed back and anxiously waited in the living room.

At the sound of her mother's muffled groan, Xiao Wanxue turned pale and shivered uncontrollably. Yang Chengrong held her in his arms, whispering comforting words.

Normally, Nangong Lingyan was brave, but she had heard that childbirth could be very dangerous for a woman, and so she was naturally anxious and frightened, subconsciously moving closer to Yang Chengxuan standing by her side. Sensing Nangong Lingyan's unease, Yang Chengxuan hesitated for a moment before tightly holding her hand, silently providing her with support.

And Nangong Lingyao, sitting beside them, kept her head down, her expression inscrutable.

It wasn't long before Long Jingxi and Min Luozhan arrived (Long Xuanmo had been away for a few days due to business), bringing with them many top-quality supplements, and quietly took their seats to wait.

In the inner chamber, before Lady Xiao could finish half a bowl of ginseng soup, she suddenly let out a soft groan as contractions began and became more frequent. Yang Mengchen took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Lady Xiao's forehead and gently guided her breathing, while instructing the midwives to stay alert.

After a while, hearing Xiao Hongtao's voice from outside, Yang Mengchen had Wu Tong go to invite Xiao Hongtao in.

The midwives wanted to say that it was inappropriate for a man to enter the birthing room, but upon catching Yang Mengchen's piercing gaze, they held their breath and focused on their work. Lady Luo had warned them not to go against Ms. Yang's wishes, or they would bear the consequences.

Sister Ke and Wan Qiu, along with the others, trusted that Yang Mengchen had her reasons for this, and of course, kept silent.

As soon as Xiao Hongtao entered the room, he went straight to the bedside, looking at his wife who was biting her lip and not making a sound, his heart swelled with tenderness and guilt. He held her hand tightly, "Xin Lan, I'm here. Don't worry, I'll stay with you, and we'll welcome our baby together!"

"My lord, ah..." Another wave of intense pain hit, and Lady Xiao couldn't help but cry out.

Once Lady Xiao caught her breath, Yang Mengchen gave her a pill to swallow and continued to wipe the sweat from her forehead, guiding and encouraging her.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, one midwife suddenly exclaimed joyfully, "Madam, push hard, we can see the baby's head coming out now, push hard!"

"Aunty Xiao, just a little more effort, and the twins will be born soon!"
