Madam He had just asked those words and regretted them too.
She was too nervous and actually forgot to think about He Zhiran.
Now that Old Lady Mo reminded her, she hurriedly closed her mouth.
"What Granny Zhao said makes sense. It's normal that you can't tell the position of twins."
The sisters-in-law also saw that something was wrong, and they crowded around the two old madams and Granny Zhao and left He Zhiran's room.
The Eldest Sister-in-law took the lead.
"Since even Granny Zhao said so, Ninth Younger Sister will not give birth today. Let's go back early and let Ninth Younger Brother and Ninth Younger Sister rest early and build up their strength to safely deliver our little nephew or niece."
"Yes, you should all go back and rest." Old Lady Mo echoed, and exhorted Lan Er.
"You stay here. Come get me immediately if there is any movement."
"Old Madam can rest assured that Lan Er will stay here the whole time."
While giving her promise, Lan Er followed the crowd out of the room and thoughtfully closed the door.
Seeing everyone had left, He Zhiran smiled helplessly at Mo Jiuye, who was still standing there in a daze.
"Husband, don't be nervous. I'll go check inside the space now."
Hearing her reminder, Mo Jiuye also came back to his senses.
He knew Lan Er was still guarding outside the door. He was just about to go instruct her that they were going to rest and not to let anyone come disturb them unless it was very urgent.
Before he could take any action, he heard the voices of Old Lady Mo and Madam He again.
"The doctor is here. Let him take a look at Ranran first, so we can sleep peacefully tonight."
He Zhiran smiled helplessly at Mo Jiuye again and jerked her chin towards the door.
"Since the doctor is already here, it would be impolite not to let him examine me. Otherwise, I'm afraid the family won't be able to sleep well tonight."
"Mm," Mo Jiuye responded and opened the door from the inside.
Old Lady Mo and Madam He were together, and behind them was a man who looked fifty-something years old with a beard.
Mo Jiuye let the people into the room.
"Doctor, please help examine my daughter-in-law."
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, He Zhiran had always gotten her checkups done inside the space. She had never consulted a doctor here before.
She also wanted to see what this era's doctors were capable of, and very cooperatively extended a wrist.
The doctor put down his medicine box and sat in a chair to take He Zhiran's pulse. Not much later, his brows were tightly locked.
"You're pregnant with twins?"
"My wife is indeed pregnant with twins. Doctor, do you have any good solutions?"
Mo Jiuye anxiously asked.
He had originally thought he had learned how to perform a C-section, but when he considered that the person he would have to operate on was his own wife, that he would have to personally take a knife and cut open his wife’s stomach, whenever he imagined that scene, he would inexplicably feel suffocated.
If the doctor could come up with a way for his wife to give birth smoothly, it would avoid having to use the knife, which would not only spare him from enduring tremendous psychological pressure, but also prevent any scars from being left on his wife’s perfect skin.
The doctor got up with a helpless shake of his head.
He was much more sensible than Granny Zhao and did not open his mouth in the room, but was the first to walk out the door.
Everyone except He Zhiran followed him out.
The doctor stood in the yard and, not bothering to look around the distinctive quadrangle courtyard, said in a deep voice:
"From her pulse, the mother and children are very healthy and strong."
"Doctor, do you mean to say that my wife will absolutely have no problem giving birth?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye was thrilled. As long as his wife and two children were healthy and strong, what did he have left to worry about?
However, the doctor's next words soon dragged his beautiful mood down into the abyss.
"In my many years of medical practice, I have seen pregnant women with twins before. They and the fetuses were very healthy before birth, but those who could actually give birth to twins smoothly with the safety of mother and children were few and far between."
Having said that, the doctor had already walked towards the outside of the yard, still saying:
"This lady has no physical issues. Whether she can give birth smoothly depends on her fortune. Even if I stay here, I would be powerless to help. So I shall take my leave now."
Seeing the doctor about to leave, Old Lady Mo hurried forward to stop him.
"Doctor, please stay. In case my daughter-in-law runs into any danger during childbirth, you can also treat her in time. Rest assured, for this consultation fee, we are willing to pay ten times the price, how about it?"
She was also anxious. Asking the doctor to come over in the first place was to give He Zhiran extra protection during childbirth.
If the doctor left, and if something bad happened to her daughter-in-law, wouldn't they be left without even a thread of hope?
At this point, even Madam He was in tears. She silently cursed Zhang San and her Old Master for being incompetent.
It had already been over a month since Zhang San left this place, yet there was no news from him at all.
If he could bring the gynecology saint here at this time, her daughter and grandchildren could be saved.
Just as Madam He was about to step forward to join her mother-in-law in pleading with the doctor to stay, faint hoofbeats were heard from afar.
The sky was already dark at this hour, and not only the Mo family, even villagers rarely went out and moved around.
And in the whole village, only the Mo family had a carriage. The carriage that Liang Hao took to fetch the doctor from the city was parked in front of the door where everyone could see.
Old Lady Mo didn't bother to continue blocking the doctor. Of course, after hearing about the ten times consultation fee, the doctor was already disinclined to leave anyway, and just stood there. As long as they said another word to retain him, he could reluctantly stay...
At the same time, Mo Jiuye had already strode out. "I'll go take a look."
Not having walked far out, he saw a carriage speeding towards him.
Before Mo Jiuye could walk up to check, Second Brother who lived in the east side had already come out of his house to stop the carriage.
At the same time, a group of dogs also chased up and surrounded the carriage, barking nonstop.
Second Brother first ordered the dogs to leave before walking up to the carriage.
The carriage was forced to stop, and Zhang San said to the carriage interior, "Eldest Young Master, this is the Mo family's territory."
He Ziming opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, facing Mo family’s Second Brother directly.
Second Brother did not recognize the visitor, but he could hear the carriage driver spoke in a Beijing accent.
"Who are you looking for?"
He Ziming was also unfamiliar with Mo family’s Second Brother. But anyone who could appear on Mo family territory must be someone from the Mo family.
He cupped his fists towards Second Brother.
"I am He Ziming, He Zhiran's elder brother."
"You are the He family's Eldest Young Master?" Upon hearing He Ziming report his family status, Second Brother immediately dropped the stern look on his face, and his tone became much gentler.
At this time, Mo Jiuye had also walked over. Naturally, the brief dialogue between the two did not escape his ears.
Moreover, with the moonlight he could also see that the one driving the carriage was Zhang San who had sent his mother-in-law to this place last time.
He Ziming was not a stranger to Mo Jiuye either. Although they had only met on the day he married He Zhiran, Mo Jiuye had an extremely deep impression of the moist and beautiful appearance of his big brother-in-law.
