"Congratulations, congratulations!" Qin Yuanfeng stood in the courtyard, an awkward smile on his face. It was already improper for him to be here during Xiqiu's childbirth, and now he could only awkwardly bow to everyone in celebration. As he spoke, Ruan Jingliu suddenly emerged from inside. He took a few steps forward, bent over, and gently supported her arm, his movements as smooth as serving an old matron, muttering, "Mind the fetal qi, the fetal qi."
Ruan Jingliu glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and with a surprised look from the Grand Dowager and First Madam, she approached them, giving a slight curtsy. The Grand Dowager said, "You are already with child, be sure not to tire yourself, please sit."
Ruan Jingliu was indeed a bit tired and didn't stand on ceremony, so she sat down on a chair to the side. The Grand Dowager then asked, "You've carefully looked over the two children, they are both fine, aren't they?"
