Fu Mingxue first gave her two little ones a bath.
Then she had them lie down in bed.
She herself then went downstairs to find her mother-in-law.
"Mom, Hao Hao and Keke are sleeping with me tonight."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin immediately said, "You’ve been so exhausted these past few days. If the children sleep with you, won’t that affect your rest? Why don’t they just sleep with me tonight?"
