"It's a young master, a little young master!"
The midwife's voice was filled with joy. Triplets were rare, and it was their first time delivering three babies.
Seeing Luo Ge so blessed, having given birth to two boys and a girl, achieving a complete family in one go, they were truly envious.
"Congratulations, master! Congratulations, madam!"
Qiu Niang, who had been waiting nearby, stepped forward with a smile upon hearing this, distributing the prepared red envelopes to the midwives.
"Today, the master and madam have received a blessing. May you all share in this joy."
"Oh my, thank you, madam. Thank you, master."
Weighing the silver in their hands, the midwives' faces crinkled with smiles.
After speaking, the midwives quickly helped clean Luo Ge and brought the babies over for her and her husband to see.
Only then did they carry the babies out to show the waiting crowd.
"Two young masters and one young miss. Mother and children are safe, and the madam is well!"
The midwife announced joyfully to the crowd outside.
Hearing this, everyone finally let out a sigh of relief.
When the room had cleared, Gu Jinchen could no longer hold back. He lowered his head to Luo Ge's neck and began to sob.
A man's tears don't fall easily, but at this moment, he truly cried his heart out.
"My dear, we won't have any more children after this."
Even with the use of the spring water, Luo Ge had nearly fainted from pain several times.
He was truly frightened.
Seeing this, Luo Ge's pale face broke into a smile. She stroked his hair, mimicking his usual gesture.
"Alright."
Childbirth had greatly depleted her energy. Having struggled from dusk until now, Luo Ge was exhausted. After responding, she nestled against his head and fell into a deep sleep.
The babies couldn't be exposed to the wind for too long, so they were wrapped tightly and brought back by the midwives after briefly showing their faces outside.
They were placed in the small bed prepared for them, right next to Luo Ge.
Gu Jinchen quietly watched over the mother and children in the room, carefully wiping Luo Ge's body and changing her into clean clothes.
His wife loved cleanliness, and with the month of confinement ahead, he wanted to be thorough now.
After taking care of her, he looked down at the children in the lamplight. The two boys were wrinkled like old men, not very attractive.
Hmm, the girl was marginally better, looking a bit like his wife.
Just as he was thinking this, the door opened carefully, and two little heads peeked in.
They looked longingly at Luo Ge and the small bed. Seeing that Luo Ge was asleep, they called out softly, "Uncle."
Hearing the sound, Gu Jinchen turned around, led them in, and closed the door.
"Why aren't you resting yet?"
It was now 3 AM. After receiving news that all was well with Luo Ge, the midwives and others outside had been sent to rest.
Why had these two little rascals come back?
"We couldn't sleep. We wanted to see Auntie."
They had rushed back as soon as they heard the news and had heard quite a commotion outside. Hearing Luo Ge's cries of pain had frightened them.
Now that everyone had left, they wanted to sneak in for a look.
Seeing the concern in their eyes, Gu Jinchen ruffled their hair and led them to Luo Ge's bedside.
"Don't worry, your auntie is fine. She's just sleeping now."
Hearing Gu Jinchen's voice, the babies in the nearby crib whimpered, as if disturbed.
Gu Jinchen, along with Yun Mu and Yun Yi, instinctively quieted their breathing and tiptoed carefully to the crib.
Looking at their tiny brothers and sister, the two children's eyes were full of wonder.
"They're so small."
Hearing their whispers, Gu Jinchen nodded in agreement. Each baby was barely the size of two palms; he didn't even dare to hold them.
Luo Ge needed rest, and fearing they might disturb her, he didn't let the two little ones stay for long.
After letting them see their aunt and the little babies, he sent them away.
He then found a blanket in the room and lay down next to Luo Ge to rest, afraid she might wake up and not find him. So he stayed by her side, keeping watch.
