To be honest, if she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that such a young woman could give birth to twins and still be fine.
After she heard this, she coughed lightly and her face turned pale, but there was a faint smile on her lips.
“Eldest Young Madam, rest well and talk less. We can talk about anything when you’re better.” Ye Muyu quickly reached out to help her lie down.
“Jiao’er, Mother also said that Ah Yu is very easy to get along with. Don’t move.”
He Jiao nodded and stopped moving. She just quietly watched the two of them talk and glanced at the child sleeping beside her from time to time.
“Ah Yu, you can also call her Jiao’er. Since Yanxu treats Ah Heng like an elder brother, we are a family, so there is no need to be so formal.” Mrs. Du smiled and patted the back of her hand.
Ye Muyu did not hold back.
“Jiao’er, in the future, you must follow the doctor’s instructions and take good care of your body,” Ye Muyu said gently.
He Jiao nodded gently. “Thank you, Sister-in-law. I will. Only then can I take good care of the two children.”
“It’s just a pity that my body is weak. I don’t even have the strength to hold the children now.”
“Then let’s save this first chance for the child’s biological father.” Ye Muyu said with a smile.
He Jiao was slightly stunned. She had not thought of this and immediately smiled. She was indeed comforted. “I don’t feel as bad anymore.”
“Ah Yu is kind-hearted. She’s used to saying things that make people happy.” Mrs. Du also laughed.
After chatting for a while, He Jiao’s body felt a little uncomfortable. After a while, the nanny came in and took the two children away. Mrs. Du found an excuse and sat next to Ye Muyu in the outer room. She saw another maid enter the room. After a while, she heard a soft moan.
Following that, a servant came out with a cloth. Ye Muyu saw some milk stains on it and suddenly understood something.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip. If she was not mistaken, it should be He Jiao’s milk. However, she did not feed it to her child, so she could only waste it in this way.
“Ah Yu, why aren’t you saying anything?” Mrs. Du said something about the children, but she did not hear Ye Muyu’s answer. She turned her head and realized that she was staring at the vase in the distance.
“What? I think that the milk in this mother’s body is quite good. Actually, it’s better for the children to drink it.” Ye Muyu seemed to have said it accidentally, but in fact, she said it on purpose for Mrs. Du.
She had understood that rich families originally got nannies because the mother did not have milk, or because she felt that feeding milk would make her lose her figure. No matter what, women in the inner residence cared about their appearance.
And as this happened more often, it slowly became a tacit agreement. It was as if it was against the rules for a rich family to not hire a nanny.
Ye Muyu did not agree with the rules of the wealthy families. Even though her family’s status had risen, she was still much more casual. Moreover, there was no one in the inner residence, and Chu Heng was even more obedient to her. She did not want to cater to them and insist on those rules.
In fact, different families had different rules, so there was no need to pander too much.
However, Ye Muyu had gotten to know Mrs. Du better after spending time with her. She seemed to have a gentle personality, but she loved to follow the rules. Therefore, she chose to say this in a tactful way.
“Madam, I’m sorry. I was thinking about something just now and didn’t hear what you said,” Ye Muyu said apologetically.
