Chapter 203 - 203: 203: A Whole and United Family
In the warm, spring-like room, Lin Zizi sat on the couch, holding Lingzi in her red jacket, with Jiang Ruobai, Jiang Yi, and a few others around her, teasing the little Lingzi.
The baby girl stared at them with her round eyes, showing no fear or shyness.
Seeing Jiang Ning, Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up and he immediately took the swaddle from her arms: “Ah, little Wenzan is here too!”
Jiang Ruobai stretched out his hand: “Let me hold him.”
The child was handed from Jiang Yi to him.
He sat down next to Lin Zizi, holding Wenzan, and with a beaming smile, said, “Xiao Bao’er, did you see? Your brother is here too. In the future, our family will be together and never part again, all right?”
Jiang Ning moved her wheelchair over and looked at the little girl in Lin Zizi’s arms.
The little girl was chubby, with snow-white skin and round, lively eyes, adorable.
Lin Zizi looked at her daughter and laughed, “The Prince of Yu’s Mansion did not mistreat these two children, look at how well they have been raised, so white and chubby.”
“Of course, we can’t let our precious children be mistreated,” Jiang Ruobai said with laughter in his eyes and a loving expression on his face, “Look at my eldest grandson, he’s so handsome.”
Jiang Yi said, “He’s your great-nephew.”
Jiang Ruobai glared at him: “I do want a grandson, why don’t you give birth to one for me?”
Jiang Yi scratched his head and dared not make a sound.
He had been studying at the Academy for years, and now he had finally achieved something. He was working at the Imperial Academy and it was time to consider his marriage.
The whole family gathered around the two little treasures, fussing over them.
Jiang Yuan and Jiang Yan also came over to watch, and even the two aunts, who had never gotten along well, temporarily put aside their old grudges and happily joined the circle around the children.
There were four children in the Jiang family’s second room, but it was Jiang Ning, the youngest, who was the first to become a mother.
So the whole family cherished them.
Even Aunt Liu, who had always been sharp-tongued and sarcastic, was fond of them and sent over two pairs of gold bracelets, which made Jiang Ruobai think better of her. That evening, he even made a special visit to her room.
Aunt Liu became even happier and took extra care of the children, visiting them three times a day.
When the Prince of Yu ordered the children to be brought over, he also brought their wet nurses, nannies, and maids who had been attending to them.
With the love and care of Jiang Ning and the entire Jiang family, the two children adapted well, eating when they were hungry, sleeping when they were full, and playing when they were awake.
They were so adorable that they drew everyone’s affection.
The day after the children moved in, it was snowing outside, and the room was warm and cozy. Jiang Ning sat in front of the two cradles, holding one hand in each, chanting nursery rhymes, while several maids were doing needlework on the side.
From time to time, the little ones cooed and gurgled.
Xiaoman squatted next to the cradle, listening to her own mistress’s nursery rhymes, her head nodding off in sleepiness.
The door curtain was lifted quietly.
Xiaoman was the most alert and immediately raised her head to see a tall, slender figure of a man walking in. At first, she thought it was the Third Young Master, and then she realized it wasn’t right. She looked closely and saw that it was actually the Prince of Yu.
As she exclaimed, she jumped up.
Jiang Ning raised her head and looked at her: “Xiaoman, hush.”
Xiaoman pointed at the door: “Your Highness…”
Jiang Ning turned around and saw Li Hongyuan, wrapped in a cloak, standing at the door.
She frowned, “Why are you here? How did you get in?”
This was the back courtyard, and to enter from the front yard, one had to go through the second gate, third gate, and then the small courtyard gate. Each gate was guarded by someone.
There shouldn’t be anyone coming without notice..
