The first day of summer had arrived, and the infants were now three months old.
Their mother, Ling Yue, had gone for a walk in the villa courtyard. The birth of the twins had taken a heavy toll on her, and she was now trying to recover more quickly.
As the wife of the Heavenly Demon, she had duties to attend to and needed to get better soon.
At this time, the midwife had received new clothes for the infants and, with the help of the Lady's new maidservant—a young girl—was busy selecting outfits.
"In which section were you before, young girl?"
"I was in the Outer Palace."
"Were you in the Lady's clan section?"
"Yes."
"I served in the Clan of the Crescent Blade."
Midwife Choi was satisfied that someone from the Lady's own clan was present in the villa.
"Your duties have been explained before?"
"Yes."
"Don't worry. The young masters, Lan and Zhan, are very gentle. We'll divide the tasks between us."
Lan and Zhan were both staring at the new maidservant.
"So nice to see such a girl after so long."
"There's nothing good about watching old women and guards who are always bowing."
The midwife points to Zhan.
"It seems Young Master Zhan has taken a liking to you."
Lan glares.
"I like her too."
The maidservant hugs Zhan and smiles. The maidservant was happy to hold a beautiful baby, and Zhan was happy to reach the maidservant's bosom.
"Hahaha!"
"Wait..."
"Where is Young Master Lan?"
Midwife Choi sees Lan trying to crawl towards the maidservant.
"Young Master Lan must miss his brother."
"I'll take Young Master Zhan."
Zhan, feeling like he had lost something, began to cry softly—as if this body had its own influences.
Lan continued crawling with all his might.
"Who has the patience for this bastard?"
"I only have one goal."
At the end of the path, the maidservant finally picked up Lan. Lan looked at his brother, reached out his hand, and showed him his middle finger.
Choosing new clothes for Lan and Zhan wasn't difficult, but the problem arose after dressing them. After putting on the clothes, they would either poop or pee.
The midwife and maidservant didn't know that the young masters were uncompromising thirty-year-old men.
Lady Yue arrives.
"A smell is coming..."
"Madam Choi, are you well? You look tired."
"Oh, how nice."
"I arrived early for choosing clothes."
Meanwhile, the young maidservant was behind the villa washing six sets of soiled clothes.
"Wasn't this supposed to be simple work?"
Taking care of thirty-year-old men isn't easy...
The mother chose clothes matching their eye colors: a golden silk garment for Zhan and a blue silk garment for Lan.
Lan and Zhan looked at each other.
"We've run out of ammunition."
"We have to endure it."
Today, the children were to go outside a bit, and they themselves knew it, which is why they were excited.
But there was a problem.
"That damned pavilion is right in the middle of the courtyard!"
"You damned people spent an hour getting us ready just to go to the courtyard!"
Let me look at this guy...
He's dissatisfied too.
Zhan, who had lost all his excitement and enthusiasm:
"I should have held back on peeing a little."
After spending a short while in the pavilion, news reached Lady Yue.
"She has arrived."
She had been waiting for that person all along.
"Guide her in."
A woman with a long silver flute in her hand begins to play with every step.
"Greetings, Fourth Lady. I have been eager and awaiting today."
"Last time we saw each other was a season ago."
Lan and Zhan were staring at the flutist woman.
"The women in this world are really good."
"...!"
"What delightful young masters."
"I already look forward to their entry into Jianghu."
For the children, Jianghu was an unfamiliar term, but they knew it was part of the destiny of a child in the sect.
"Since we haven't seen each other for a while, I find it necessary to give you news from outside."
"My Lady, some are now ready to form alliances, and some already see their positions at risk."
"Are you prepared to meet potential allies?"
Yang Yue was waiting for the news but saw no need to rush.
"Today, I want Lan and Zhan to see and hear new things."
"And to see you after a long time."
"Due to the sect's rules, I was very restricted during the pregnancy."
"Such talk is for another time."
Lan and Zhan, who were waiting for outside news, were disappointed. The flutist woman began to play.
The midwife and the Lady were enjoying the music, but the twins had a different opinion.
"This isn't anything special!"
"It's mediocre."
For modern men, the music of this world is not satisfying.
