The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion
Chapter 293: Both men and women add blood to the Mohist School
Chapter 293
Although He Zhiran had not yet been completely assimilated by the thinking of ancients, she could understand a woman's thirst to become a mother.
To reassure her sisters-in-law, she promised, "Sisters-in-law, rest assured, I will strive to produce the antidote in these next few days and administer it to everyone."
Eighth Sister-in-Law excitedly grabbed her again.
"Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law, once our poison is cured, can we have our own children?"
He Zhiran took the opportunity to check Eighth Sister-in-Law's pulse. Her pulse was no different from Sixth Sister-in-Law's, and everything else seemed normal. This meant that Eighth Sister-in-Law herself had no issues. If she had not been poisoned, she would have had children long ago.
Therefore, she replied with great certainty:
"Eighth Sister-in-Law, once the poison is cured and you recuperate for a period of time, you will be able to have your own children."
Upon hearing He Zhiran’s words, Eighth Sister-in-Law wept tears of joy, “Wonderful, as long as we can give birth, whether boy or girl, it will be adding bloodlines to the Mo family.”
Seeing this, the other sisters-in-law who had found their husbands also came up one after another to ask He Zhiran to check their pulses.
After checking each of them, He Zhiran informed them that there were no issues with any of their healths, and they would have children sooner or later.
Eldest Sister-in-Law and Second Sister-in-Law looked upon this scene with envy, truly hoping their own husbands could come back alive, even if they were paralyzed in bed like Fourth and Seventh Younger Brothers for the rest of their lives. They would be willing to take care of them.
As for children, Eldest Sister-in-Law and Second Sister-in-Law did not dare to hope for too much. After all, among the sisters-in-law, they were the oldest and had been poisoned the longest.
Their only wish now was for their husbands to return safely.
Seeing the sisters-in-law rushing up to He Zhiran to get their pulses checked regardless, Old Lady Mo quickly scolded, afraid that He Zhiran would get tired and affect the fetus in her belly,
“You few stop crowding around to watch the fun. Ninth Younger Sister has said she can cure it, so she definitely can. Right now she needs more rest. Everyone should disperse if you have nothing to do, just go about your business.”
Reminded by their mother-in-law, the sisters-in-law realized they had indeed been somewhat rude.
Ninth Younger Sister had just gotten pregnant and endured a long journey by boat and carriage. They had originally come over intending to show care, but instead ended up asking Ninth Younger Sister to check their pulses.
The sisters-in-law were clearly somewhat embarrassed. They quickly came up to say some reassuring words before dispersing one by one.
After all the daughters-in-law left, Old Lady Mo gave some more instructions to He Zhiran before leaving as well.
With everyone gone, only Lan Er and Yu Er remained in the room. The two of them seemed to have already acknowledged He Zhiran as their future mistress, not leaving her side for a moment after arriving at the Mo family home.
He Zhiran knew these two maids were loyal. Having them by her side to serve her was indeed comforting. However, it would be inconvenient when she needed to enter her personal space.
Moreover, as a modern military officer, she was simply not used to being waited on constantly like this.
"Lan Er, Yu Er, the Mo family nowadays is just an ordinary farming household. We no longer have those rules of wealthy households. You two can relax a bit more around here. There's no need to keep following me all day."
Hearing her say this, Lan Er became a little uncertain in her heart.
"Ninth Lady, it was you and Ninth Master who saved us initially. We are your people now. Especially since you are pregnant now, you naturally need people around to care for you. If there is anything wrong with how we behave, you can point it out. Yu Er and I will surely amend according to your wishes."
She assumed Ninth Lady found them not thoughtful enough in their service, hence was disgruntled with them.
If this was truly so, they would not know how to live in the Mo family in the future.
He Zhiran knew Lan Er had misunderstood her meaning. Regardless, she did not plan to beat around the bush to explain. She directly voiced out her thoughts,
"Don't misunderstand. If I was unhappy with you two, I would not have brought you back with me. From when we were exiled until now, I've been used to relying on myself to get by. This goes the same for the rest of the Mo family. We have always depended on our own labor for self-sufficiency. In the future, you don't have to keep following at my side all the time.
The womenfolk in the family all have things in their hands to do. You can go find Eldest Sister-in-Law and ask her arrange tasks for you. Of course, if I have need for anything here, I will still call for you two."
Having grown up navigating danger with Fourth Princess since a young age, Lan Er thought differently than normal people.
She could understand Ninth Lady's meaning. Ultimately, it was that Ninth Lady did not wish for her and Yu Er to remain by her side attending to her.
It was understandable. Before her last breath, Fourth Princess had wanted to entrust them to Ninth Master. Although they harbored no such intentions, as Ninth Master's wife, it was inevitable she would overthink when seeing them all the time.
Lan Er walked forward a few steps and knelt to solemnly vow,
"Ninth Lady, I, Lan Er, hereby swear I harbor absolutely no improper thoughts toward Ninth Master. If I go back on my word, may heaven strike me down with five thunders."
Seeing Lan Er act this way, Yu Er also knelt down to swear an oath and make a wish.
He Zhiran looked at the two's actions and rubbed her temples helplessly.
Forget whether Lan Er and Yu Er harbored such thoughts, Mo Jiuye would never have ideas like that himself. Even if these two frolicked before him all day, he would not be swayed.
For some reason, He Zhiran simply had such faith in Mo Jiuye, believing he would never do anything to betray her.
Even if she was wrong about the man and Mo Jiuye did end up fickle, so what?
She, He Zhiran had her own abilities and money. The national treasuries of Great Shun and Southern Frontier were in her hands. She had her own flesh and blood. And she had the gold fingers given by the transmigration god.
With so much at her disposal, no matter where she was, she could make a thriving life for herself and had utterly no need to worry about such matters.
Although she held no concerns, things still had to be clarified since Lan Er and Yu Er would be staying here for some time.
"You've misunderstood my meaning. I already said it very clearly back when I brought you two out. In the Mo family, we do not support freeloaders. If you want a good life, you have to work for it yourself.
As for you two, you’re already of age to be married. If there are suitable matches, I will certainly help arrange."
He Zhiran was one to worry over others. When Liang Hao and the others came over earlier, she had considered that they were following the Mo family, so they could not possibly remain single all their lives.
If suitable girls came up, she intended to help keep an eye out.
She had such plans since bringing Lan Er and Yu Er back, but interactions with them so far had been limited. She still needed to understand their personalities better before making any decisions.
Hence He Zhiran did not hurry to bring up the matter of marriage, as she was still observing their conduct.
Even if Lan Er's thoughts diverged greatly from He Zhiran's, her words were stated plainly. If Lan Er still could not understand, she would have to be an idiot.
Lan Er shuffled forward on her knees a few steps and sincerely spoke, "Ninth Lady, Yu Er's and my lives were saved by you and Ninth Master. By rights, we should obey all your arrangements. It is just, we only wish that when the day comes Fourth Princess' great revenge is accomplished, during offerings of incense we can notify her. Once this matter ends, we will have no more regrets for our whole lives. As for things like marrying off, we harbor no such thoughts."
