I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 437 Naming Twins

When Jun Qirui learned that his sister had given birth to twin sons, he was overjoyed and almost couldn't hide his happiness.

With her younger sister being so favored in her husband's family, she won't be gossiped about or talked about behind her back anymore.

Thinking this, a relieved smile naturally appeared on his face, his eyes filled with concern and pride for his sister.

Dongfang Yuan's gaze swept past the crowd, searching behind them with a hint of doubt and concern on her face.

He asked, "Your Highness, where is Xiao Jin'er? Why didn't she come with us?"

Upon hearing this, Cang Nanxi's face showed a hint of helplessness. He shook his head slightly and said, "Cheng Lin took her back to his own courtyard."

Let them be for today, and we'll have Xiao Jin'er come over tomorrow."

Hearing this, Jun Qirui shook his head helplessly, but a gentle smile remained on his face.

He said, "It seems that Xiao Jin'er is still somewhat bothered by what happened before and can't get over that hurdle."

"Princess, please don't rush her. Give her some time to calm down."

No amount of persuasion could change their minds; no one wanted Dongfang Jin to have a child more than Gu Chenglin.

Lu Yunqing is still unmarried and has not left Ling'an County.

Anyone with eyes can see through his little scheme.

Jun Wenhui nodded in agreement and said softly, "Indeed, it's best to let things take their natural course."

I heard that she and Chenglin are always living apart. They are still young, and being separated like this for a long time is not good.

Thinking of all this, she couldn't help but smile; her son had told her all of this.

Every time his son received a letter from Chenglin, he would tease Chenglin about these things.

Thinking about it, and remembering that her son was still single, a hint of expectation and anxiety appeared in her eyes.

She kept thinking to herself that she was also hoping to hold her grandson soon.

Dongfang Yuan grasped Jun Wenhui's hand, her eyes filled with joy and eagerness.

He said, "Let's stop talking about this for now and go see our little grandchildren."

Jun Wenhui quickly replied, "Okay, okay, hurry up and go. I'm also eager to see the two little ones."

The two walked hand in hand, hurrying towards the room where the newborn was kept.

Their hearts and eyes were filled with love and anticipation for the new life.

……

The setting sun shone through the carved window lattices, casting its light into the hall of the Prince's Mansion's Jinxiu Residence.

The eldest son, Cang Yanchuan, stood to the side, his little head turning back and forth, his bright eyes first glancing at his two younger brothers in the swaddling clothes.

Then he looked at his maternal and paternal grandmothers who were talking on the other side, and finally, his gaze settled steadily on his grandfather, Cang Nanxi.

She asked in a clear, crisp voice, "Grandpa, have you named my brothers yet?"

Cang Nanxi smiled broadly, his beard trembling slightly, and said gently, "The name has already been chosen."

The third brother is named Cang Lichuan, and the fourth brother is named Cang Libei.

Upon hearing this, Cang Yanbei's brows furrowed instantly.

With a troubled expression, he asked, "Grandpa, can we change the name?"

The eldest brother is called Yan Chuan, and he is called Yan Bei. These younger brothers are also called Li Chuan and Li Bei.

They sound like brothers, but would it be wrong to call them that?

Upon hearing this, Jun Qirui was filled with doubt and quickly bent down to align his gaze with Cang Yanbei's.

He asked in a gentle voice, "Xiao Bei, why did you suddenly think that way? Tell your uncle."

This little guy is practically a miniature version of Cang Lingchen, and he's just as meticulous and methodical.

He was just curious because she said that so suddenly.

Cang Yanbei was a little shy, clutching the hem of his clothes with his little hands, and muttered softly, "Uncle, what if my little brother is called Cang Libei?"

When you call your younger brother, do you also call him Xiao Bei? Won't that confuse me?

Upon hearing this, Cang Nanxi couldn't help but smile and gently tapped Cang Yanbei's little nose.

He suggested with a smile, "Since Xiao Bei is so smart, why don't you give Xiao San and Xiao Si nicknames?"

Upon hearing this, before Xiao Bei could speak, Cang Yanchuan's eyes instantly lit up like two black gems.

Excitedly, she jumped into Jun Qirui's arms and said coquettishly, "Grandpa, Uncle, can you let Xiao San call me Little Grape?"

I love grapes the most! I'm always so happy when I eat grapes, and I want to give all my favorite grapes to my little brother.

Jun Qirui...

Little grapes?

He really dares to think that way, knowing he likes to eat grapes.

But this is good, at least I won't call you by the wrong name in the future.

At this moment, Cang Linchuan walked over with his deliberately steady little steps.

Seeing Yan Chuan so happy, he looked at Cang Nanxi and said seriously, "Grandpa, let's call Xiao Si Little Apple."

After saying that, he looked at Cang Yanbei with a serious expression: "Xiao Bei, what do you think? You shouldn't object, right?"

Cang Yanbei pursed his lips, his face full of disgust yet resignation, and said, "Fine, that's the name."

As long as it's not called Xiao Bei, it's fine.

He knew perfectly well that this guy liked his older brother, but the older brother from his uncle's family was the crown prince.

My uncle, being the emperor, would certainly not agree; he has all sorts of messy ideas.

Besides, my brother wouldn't have those kinds of thoughts, otherwise he wouldn't always pretend to be innocent and naive.

He's always causing trouble in the mansion, but he's actually quite shrewd.

Cang Nanxi saw what the little ones were thinking and shook his head helplessly.

Dongfang Yuan and Jun Wenhui exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, then looked in unison at the two children in the cradle.

The children's names were chosen long ago, following the Cang family genealogy.

As for nicknames, they can choose whatever they like.

Small grapes? Small apples?

These are all foods that Cang Yanchuan likes to eat.

……

Inside the Phoenix Tree Courtyard, candlelight flickered.

Gu Chenglin held a cloth and gently wiped Dongfang Jin's wet hair.

His face was smiling, and his eyes were full of doting affection.

She asked softly, "Aren't you really going to go over there and check on Xian'er and the child?"

Dongfang Jin leaned back on the couch, her expression calm. She gently shook her head and said firmly, "Let's go tomorrow."

At this hour, Jinxiu Residence must be bustling with activity.

She decided not to join in the fun.

She was certain that once her mother saw her, she wouldn't let her leave.

Gu Chenglin frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask again, "Is this alright for you?"

When Jun Qixian gave birth for the first time, his wife didn't come. Is it appropriate for her not to show up again this time?

But he couldn't control it.

Forget it, let her be.

He should cherish his own wife; he'll apologize to his brother-in-law tomorrow.

Dongfang Jin's lips curled up slightly, revealing a reassuring smile, "It's alright, they'll understand."

Don't think she doesn't know that her father, mother, and elder brother all want her to have a child.

I thought that letting her see children would awaken her maternal instincts.

Unfortunately, she really, really didn't want to have children.

She likes children, but she prefers obedient children.

As for babies, she really couldn't handle them.

She was a soft, cuddly little thing, and although she was cute, she really didn't dare to hug her.

Gu Chenglin was speechless for a moment. Looking at his wife, he muttered to himself, "Now she doesn't even dare to look at the baby?"

That won't do; we can't continue down this topic.

After a pause, Gu Chenglin changed the subject, a hint of anticipation on his face, "My cousin said we can go to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace this year, what do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jin refused without hesitation, her brows furrowing slightly, her tone full of disgust: "I'm not going."

Gu Chenglin smiled helplessly and patiently advised, "Is this a good idea?"

The emperor cousin was hoping she would "shine" at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

She won't go.

It seems my cousin's entire plan is going to fall through.

You know, my cousin's public and private coffers have been quite full over the years, so why is he still clinging to his wife?

Dongfang Jin's lips curled down slightly, her face full of disgust, and she said irritably, "Fine, I really hate going to those kinds of occasions."

The tone was as if the occasion was some kind of monstrous flood or beast.
