The afterglow of the setting sun shines through the carved wooden window into a corner of the house, where a crib is quietly placed and a pair of twin babies are dreaming sweetly. Their little faces are filled with innocent smiles and their chubby little hands occasionally wave, as if they are exploring this unknown world.

At this moment, the door hinge turned slightly, and a servant in simple clothes and with a slightly haggard face quietly entered the room. Her eyes instantly became firm and complicated after entering the door.

She no longer hesitated and walked straight to the crib, where Aunt Li was taking good care of the two children, her face filled with maternal tenderness.

"Li Xue?" The servant's voice was not loud, but it was full of unquestionable certainty, as if this was not a question, but a confirmation that had already been known to him.

She held a bottle of medicine tightly in her hand, and with her other hand she gently pointed at the basket at her feet that looked ordinary but exuded an ominous aura.

Aunt Li was slightly shocked when she heard this. She looked up at the servant, with a hint of surprise and uneasiness in her eyes.

"You..." She hesitated to speak, but finally just took the bottle of medicine silently.

"Hurry and feed this to the two children, and then put it in this basket." There was a hint of majesty in the servant's tone that could not be disobeyed. Her words were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, causing the temperature in the room to drop sharply.

Aunt Li's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes wandered between the medicine bottle and the sleeping baby.

Her eyes were full of reluctance and struggle. The waving of her little hands and her dark eyes full of curiosity and innocence all touched her heart.

But when she thought of the mountain of debts at home and the responsibilities she could not escape, her heart suddenly felt as if it was pressed down by a huge rock, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"I...I can't do it."

Aunt Li's voice was almost inaudible, but her determination could not be ignored.

However, the servant's eyes were sharper, as if they could see into the deepest secrets and weaknesses of people's hearts.

"You have no choice. You have to do this for your family."

There was an irresistible coldness in her tone.

At this moment, one of the twins seemed to sense something. His brows slightly frowned, and his mouth pursed, as if he was about to burst into tears.

This sudden change made Aunt Li's heart tighten suddenly. She subconsciously looked at the medicine bottle in her hand, then at the basket. Finally, she closed her eyes and made a decision.

She quickly mixed the powder into the milk powder and fed it to the two children with shaking hands. As the sweet milk fragrance slid into their throats, the two children's faces gradually relaxed and finally fell asleep.

Looking at them sleeping peacefully, Aunt Li's tears fell silently, her heart filled with unspeakable pain and helplessness.

After finishing all this, she carefully put the two children into the basket. Every step seemed so heavy, as if she was having a silent battle with her conscience.

Finally, she turned around, looked at the empty crib, and bowed deeply, as if saying goodbye and atonement.

The door closed gently again, and the room returned to its former tranquility, leaving only the innocent twins, slowly moving forward in an unknown fate.

Outside the baby room, the servant was carrying a seemingly ordinary basket, walking hurriedly but cautiously.

She had only taken a few steps when a deep and powerful voice suddenly sounded behind her, like a sudden cold wind in the night, causing her to stop involuntarily.

"Wait!" The voice was short and powerful, with unquestionable majesty.

The servant's heart tightened, but she immediately tried to calm herself down, turned around pretending to be calm, forced a puzzled smile on her face, and asked, "Is... is there something wrong?" Her eyes flickered, trying to hide her inner panic.

Standing behind her was a burly, stern-looking bodyguard. He did not answer immediately, but glanced sharply at the basket in her hand.

The basket was half hidden under the clothes, and a soft little figure could be vaguely seen inside.

After confirming that they were indeed baby clothes, the bodyguard relaxed a little, but still remained vigilant.

"It's okay, let's go."

The bodyguard finally spoke, his brief words carrying a subtle scrutiny. He waved his hand, signaling the servant to leave.

The servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded her thanks, and continued walking with the basket. Her pace was even more hurried than before, as if she wanted to escape from this stressful place as quickly as possible.

However, when she reached a corner, she couldn't help but stop, lift the clothes on the basket, and take a peek at the twin babies inside.

The two little guys were lying quietly in the basket, their chubby little hands gently placed on their chests, their black eyes closed, immersed in a sweet dream.

Seeing this scene, the maid finally felt relieved. She gently stroked the children's foreheads, with a hint of tenderness and reluctance in her eyes.

"I have finally completed the task assigned by the young lady." She said silently in her heart, and at the same time felt a little fortunate.

She knew that the reason why all this could go smoothly was all thanks to the careful arrangements made by the young lady. From the initial plan to the execution at this moment, every step was full of calculations and considerations.

The servant arranged the baskets again, making sure everything looked natural and safe, and then quickened her pace and walked out of the manor. She felt both relieved after completing the task and worried about the unknown future.

But she knew that no matter what the future held, she had to follow the instructions of the young lady, who was her benefactor.

……

In the banquet hall downstairs, the lights were bright, people were bustling around, and the air was filled with the scent of delicious food and laughter.

Ji Yan was wearing an exquisite evening gown, as dazzling as a star. She was having a lively conversation with her good friend Fang Yuan in a corner. Their laughter intertwined, adding a bit of warmth and vitality to the night.

"Yan'er, you are really amazing. You have taken such good care of these two little angels. I really envy you from the bottom of my heart."

Fang Yuan's eyes were full of admiration for Ji Yan, and she gently touched Ji Yan's arm as she spoke.

Ji Yan smiled slightly, with a motherly light in her eyes: "No, no, Yuanyuan, you will also be a super mom in the future. I just have more time and patience. Besides, there is a confinement nanny to help me share the burden."

As soon as the voice fell, the confinement nanny Xiao Wu quietly appeared in the sight of the two. She was wearing a neat uniform and had a gentle smile on her face. She reported to Ji Yan softly.

"Miss Ji, the two young masters have woken up and are waiting for you upstairs."

Hearing this, Fang Yuan's eyes immediately lit up. She almost subconsciously grabbed Ji Yan's hand and said excitedly.

"Yan'er, hurry up! Let's go up and check on those two little babies! They must be missing their mommy, we have to go and hug them quickly."

Ji Yan was infected by Fang Yuan's eagerness, and a warm current surged in her heart. She smiled and nodded, and responded softly: "Okay, then let's go. I miss them too."
