Chapter 457: My Lord, Don't Be Nervous

Lady He regretted having asked those questions.

She had been too nervous and had forgotten to be more discreet in front of He Zhiran.

Now that Mother Mo had reminded her, she promptly fell silent.

"What Midwife Zhao said makes sense. It is expected that the positions of twins can’t be clearly determined."

The other sisters-in-law also realized that something was wrong and ushered the two elderly ladies and Midwife Zhao out of He Zhiran's room.

The eldest sister-in-law took the lead.

"Since Midwife Zhao has said that Ninth Sister-in-law won’t give birth today, let’s all return early so the Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-law can rest well in preparation for the birth of our little nephew or niece."

"Yes, everyone should go back and rest," Mother Mo agreed, then instructed Lan'er.

"You stay here, and if there’s any movement, come and get me immediately."

"Rest assured, Madam. I’ll stay here and keep watch," Lan'er assured, following behind the group. After leaving the room, she thoughtfully closed the door.

Once everyone had left, He Zhiran noticed that Mo Jiuya was still standing there, dazed.

"My lord, don't be nervous. I’ll go into the space and check everything now."

Reminded by her, Mo Jiuya came to his senses.

Knowing that Lan'er was still guarding the door, he was about to go and remind her not to allow anyone to disturb them unless absolutely necessary.

Before he could move, he heard Mother Mo and Lady He speaking again.

"The doctor has arrived. Let him examine Ran Ran first so we can all rest assured."

With a wry smile, He Zhiran looked at Mo Jiuya and then nodded toward the door.

"If we don’t let him examine her, the family won’t be able to sleep easily tonight."

"Yes," Mo Jiuya responded, opening the door from inside.

Mother Mo and Lady He entered together, followed by an elderly man who looked to be in his fifties with a beard.

Mo Jiuya led them in.

"Doctor, please examine my wife."

Since discovering her pregnancy, He Zhiran had been conducting her check-ups within her own spatial realm and had never consulted a doctor from this era.

Curious about the abilities of physicians in this era, she cooperated fully, extending her wrist.

The doctor set down his medical box, sat down, and took He Zhiran’s pulse. After a moment, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Are you carrying twins?"

"My wife is indeed carrying twins. Do you have any advice or treatment options, Doctor?" Mo Jiuya inquired anxiously.

Initially, he believed he had mastered the skill of performing a C-section. But when he imagined having to perform the surgery on his own wife, cutting her belly open with a knife, he would feel suffocated.

If the doctor could find a way to ensure that his wife delivered smoothly, it would eliminate the need for surgery. Not only would he avoid immense psychological stress, but his wife’s flawless skin would remain untouched.

The doctor stood up and shook his head in helplessness.

He was more tactful than Midwife Zhao and chose not to speak inside the room. He was the first to step out of the door.

Everyone else followed him outside, leaving only He Zhiran in the room.

Standing in the courtyard, the doctor spoke gravely:

"From her pulse, I can tell that both the mother and the children are healthy."

"Doctor, do you mean there will be no complications with my wife’s delivery?"

Hearing this, Mo Jiuye was overjoyed. As long as his wife and their two children are healthy, what else could he possibly worry about?

However, his good mood was soon dashed by the doctor’s next words.

"In my years of practice, I have seen many pregnant women who were pregnant with twins. Before delivery, both the mother and the children seemed healthy, but very few were able to deliver the twins smoothly and ensure the safety of both mother and babies."

As he was speaking, the doctor had already started walking toward the exit of the courtyard, continuing,

"This lady has no physical issues, but whether she can deliver successfully depends on her destiny. Even if I stay, there is little I can do, so there is no reason for me to stay longer."

Seeing that the doctor was about to leave, Lady Mo quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Doctor, please stay. If my daughter-in-law runs into any danger during childbirth, you’ll be here to assist. We are willing to pay ten times your usual fee. What do you say?"

She was also getting desperate, and had originally asked the doctor to come over just to have an extra layer of security during He Zhiran's delivery.

If the doctor left, and something went wrong with the daughter-in-law's delivery, wouldn’t they have no hope left?

At this moment, Lady He was already in tears. In her heart, she cursed Zhang San and her own husband for their inefficiency.

Over a month had passed since Zhang San left, and there had been no word from him until now.

If he could bring a renowned gynecologist here right now, her daughter and grandchildren could still be saved.

Just as Lady He was about to join Mother He in pleading with the doctor to stay, she heard the faint sound of horse hooves in the distance.

It was already dark, and at this moment, not only the Mo family, but even the villagers rarely ventured out.

The entire village only had the Mo family's carriage. Earlier, Liang Hao had gone to the city to bring the doctor, and the carriage was still parked at the entrance, visible to everyone.

Mother He could no longer afford to keep persuading the doctor. Of course, when the doctor heard about the offer of ten times the consultation fee, he no longer wanted to leave. He stood in place, waiting eagerly, ready to stay if they said one more word of persuasion.

In the meantime, Mo Jiuya had already hurried out.

"I’ll go check it out."

He hadn’t gone far when he saw a carriage approaching quickly from the opposite direction.

Before Mo Jiuya could step forward to inspect, his second brother, who lived to the east of the village, had already come out and stopped the carriage.

At the same time, a group of dogs chased after the carriage, barking incessantly around it.

The second brother first ordered the dogs to leave before approaching the carriage.

The carriage was forced to stop, and Zhang San said to the inside of the carriage, "Eldest Young Master, this is the territory of the Mo Family."

He Ziming lifted the carriage curtain and stepped down, coming face-to-face with Mo Family’s Second Brother.

The second brother did not recognize him, but he could tell from the driver’s accent that he was from the capital city.

"Whom are you looking for?"

Although He Ziming and Mo Family’s Second Brother did not know each other, anyone appearing in Mo Family territory must have some connection to them.

He Ziming bowed to him, clenching his fists in salutation.

"I am He Ziming, the eldest son of the He family."

"You are the eldest son of the He Family?" Second Brother’s serious expression immediately softened upon hearing He Ziming’s introduction, and his tone became much gentler.

At that moment, Mo Jiuye also approached, and he had overheard their brief conversation.

By the light of the moon, he could see that the carriage driver was indeed Zhang San, the same person who had brought his wife’s mother here last time.

Mo Jiuye was not unfamiliar with He Ziming. Though they had only met once on the day he married He Zhiran, Mo Jiuye had been extremely impressed by his brother-in-law’s gentle and refined appearance.
