Chapter 293: Regardless of Gender, All Will Add to the Mo Family Lineage

Although He Zhiran had not been completely assimilated by ancient thinking, she could understand a woman's yearning to become a mother.

To reassure her sisters-in-law, she promised, "Sisters-in-law, rest assured. I will strive to create the antidote in the next few days and administer it to everyone."

Eighth Sister-in-law excitedly held her hand again.

"Ninth Sister-in-law, does this mean that once our poison is cured, we can have our own children?"

He Zhiran took Eighth Sister-in-law's pulse, noting that it was similar to Sixth Sister-in-law's. Apart from the poison, everything else was normal, indicating that Eighth Sister-in-law herself had no issues. If not for the poison, she would have already had her own child.

Therefore, she confidently replied:

"Eighth Sister-in-law, after the poison is cured and you undergo some recuperation, you will be able to have your own children."

Hearing He Zhiran's words, Eighth Sister-in-law burst into tears of joy: "That's wonderful! As long as we can bear children, regardless of gender, they will add to the Mo family lineage."

The other sisters-in-law who had found their husbands also approached He Zhiran to check their pulses.

After examining them one by one, He Zhiran informed them that their bodies were fine and that they would eventually have children.

Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law watched enviously. They truly hoped their husbands could return alive, even if they were paralyzed like Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother; they would willingly care for them.

As for having children, Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law did not dare hope 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.

Old Lady Mo, seeing the sisters-in-law crowd around He Zhiran, worried about her fatigue affecting the fetus, quickly scolded them:

"You all, stop crowding around. Ninth Sister-in-law said she can cure it, so she will. She needs rest now. Everyone should go back to their tasks."

Upon hearing their mother-in-law's reminder, the sisters-in-law realized they had indeed been too hasty.

Ninth Sister-in-law was newly pregnant and had traveled a long distance. They had come to show concern but ended up asking her to check their pulses.

Feeling ashamed, they awkwardly offered some comforting words before leaving.

Old Lady Mo, seeing her daughters-in-law depart, gave He Zhiran further instructions before leaving herself.

Once everyone left, the room was left with only Lan'er and Yu'er. They seemed to have decided He Zhiran was their future mistress and stayed close to her since arriving at the Mo residence.

He Zhiran knew these two girls were loyal, and having them serve her was indeed comfortable. However, it made it inconvenient for her to enter the space.

Moreover, as a modern military officer, she was not accustomed to being constantly served.

"Lan'er, Yu'er, the Mo family is now an ordinary farming household without the formalities of a wealthy family. You should feel free here and don't need to follow me all the time."

Lan'er felt uncertain upon hearing this.

"Ninth Lady, you and Ninth Master saved us. We are now your people. Especially since you are pregnant, you naturally need someone to take care of you. If there is anything we do wrong, please tell us, and Yu'er and I will adjust accordingly."

She thought Ninth Lady found their service lacking and disliked them.

If that were true, they wouldn't know how to live in the Mo family.

He Zhiran knew Lan'er misunderstood her intention and decided to explain directly.

"Don't misunderstand. If I disliked you, I wouldn't have brought you back. Since exile, I've gotten used to taking care of myself.

The same goes for the rest of the Mo family. We rely on our labor for self-sufficiency. In the future, you don't need to follow me constantly.

The women in the family have their own tasks. You can find Eldest Sister-in-law and ask her to assign you tasks. Of course, if I need help, I'll call you."

Having grown up with Princess Fourth in a world of intrigue, Lan'er thought differently from most.

She understood Ninth Lady's meaning—she didn't want Lan'er and Yu'er to serve her constantly.

It was understandable, given that Princess Fourth entrusted them to Ninth Master on her deathbed.

Though they had no such intentions, as Ninth Master's wife, Ninth Lady might still have reservations or suspicions.

Lan'er stepped forward, knelt down, and solemnly swore:

"Ninth Lady, I, Lan'er, swear that I have no improper thoughts towards Ninth Master. If I violate this, may the heavens strike me dead."

Seeing Lan'er do this, Yu'er also knelt down and made a vow.

He Zhiran rubbed her temples, exasperated.

Regardless of whether Lan'er and Yu'er had such intentions, Mo Jiuye certainly wouldn't. Even if they were always around him, he wouldn't be swayed.

For some reason, He Zhiran trusted Mo Jiuye completely, believing he would never betray her.

Even if she were wrong and Mo Jiuye ever strayed, what then?

She, He Zhiran, wasn't lacking in any way. With her abilities and wealth from both Great Shun and Southern Nanzhao treasuries, she had her own flesh and blood and the golden finger from the transmigration deity.

With all these resources, she could thrive anywhere without worry.

While she had no concerns, the matter needed clarification, especially since Lan'er and Yu'er would live here for some time.

"You misunderstood my meaning. I'm not used to having servants around. When I brought you out, I clearly stated that the Mo family doesn't keep idle hands.

To live well, you must work for yourself.

As for the two of you, you are of marriageable age. If suitable matches arise, I will help arrange them."

He Zhiran was also someone who worried a lot. When Liang Hao and the others came over, she had thought about their future, knowing that they followed the Mo family and could not remain single all their lives.

If she encountered suitable young ladies, she would certainly help them find matches.

When she brought Lan'er and Yu'er back, she had such intentions in mind. However, she had not interacted with them much yet, so she needed more time to understand their character before making any decisions.

Therefore, He Zhiran did not rush to bring up the matter, as she was still observing their character.

Even if Lan'er's thoughts differed greatly from He Zhiran's, after such straightforward words, it would be foolish not to understand.

Lan'er moved forward on her knees a few steps and sincerely said, "Ninth Lady, both Yu'er and I owe our lives to you and Ninth Master. By all rights, we should follow your arrangements for everything.

However, our hearts are set on the day when Fourth Princess avenges her great wrongs. We wish to inform the ancestors of this matter when we offer incense. Once this is accomplished, we will have no regrets in life. As for marriage, we have no such thoughts."
