He Zhiran understood that her mother-in-law was indeed reasonable and never looked down on others like the noble matriarchs in the Capital city.
Thinking of her own mother, though a bit more homely compared to her mother-in-law, she was also a kind and open-minded person.
It seemed that as long as Lan Er agreed, she and her brother could explain the situation to their mother, and this marriage wouldn't be as difficult as imagined.
Of course, the head of the He Family in the Capital city might have a different opinion, but as long as her mother didn't object, things would be easier.
First, she needed to resolve the current predicament.
While He Zhiran pondered over the situation between He Ziming and Lan Er, Mo Jiuye's body had undergone a fundamental change.
His normal body temperature gradually increased after intimately interacting with his wife, and the primal desire arising from his heart made him instinctively seek her cherry lips.
This was the first time the couple had been so intimate since He Zhiran became pregnant.
It wasn't that He Zhiran was unwilling before; she had even taken the initiative to hint to Mo Jiuye that after three months of pregnancy, the situation would generally stabilize, and as long as they were careful, there wouldn't be any problems.
But Mo Jiuye was afraid of harming his wife and children, and no matter how difficult it was for him, he had always restrained himself.
It wasn't until several days after the twins' full moon that Mo Jiuye's urge reignited, reaching an uncontrollable level.
He was also worried that his wife might become pregnant again. The pain she had endured during childbirth was still vivid in his mind, and he had sworn never to let his wife go through that again.
Therefore, since He Zhiran's postpartum recovery period ended, he had been enduring with willpower.
As the saying goes, "Forbearance has its limits," which described Mo Jiuye's current psychological state.
His large hands roamed over He Zhiran's back, and his fierce kisses never stopped...
That night, Mo Jiuye could no longer control his primal physical desires. Nevertheless, he was still very gentle with He Zhiran's body, and no matter how intense his desire burned, he would always ask about her feelings.
Especially towards the end, he was afraid of releasing his seed inside his wife's womb, so he summoned all his willpower to quickly withdraw.
He then tightly embraced He Zhiran, savoring her every breath.
Although He Zhiran had no experience in this area, as a soul from the modern world, she understood Mo Jiuye's reasons for doing so.
Moreover, she also enjoyed the intimacy with Mo Jiuye, and if this situation continued, it would undoubtedly affect their marital dynamics.
With a thought, she entered her space and purchased a box of condoms from Taobao, shyly explaining the usage to Mo Jiuye.
Mo Jiuye had some understanding, as there were contraceptives in the medical academy, but he was worried that frequent use would harm his wife's health, so he had never considered that idea.
To his surprise, his wife's Taobao space actually sold such a good product. Did this mean that from now on, he wouldn't have to worry about anything and could be intimate whenever he wanted?
Mo Jiuye opened a condom package, revealing a naughty smile.
"Ran Ran, I want to try this thing now..."
He Zhiran...
She had just been exhausted from their previous activities and had informed Mo Jiuye about the existence of condoms for his sake.
Who knew this hungry wolf would be so impatient...
A night of passion, and the couple slept more soundly than usual.
The two little ones were also very well-behaved, knowing that their father and mother hadn't played for a long time, and they didn't cry all night, sleeping until daybreak.
In the courtyard, Madam Mo and the other women of the Mo Family were waiting.
Usually, at this time every day, they would come to see the babies, and Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran would have already gotten up. But today was exceptionally unusual; not only were the two adults silent, but the two babies hadn't cried either.
Since the birth of the twins, these people had become accustomed to waking up early every day as their first task to visit the little siblings in Mo Jiuye's courtyard.
In fact, it seemed that only by doing this could they start their day full of energy.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran had already woken up, but after last night's exertion, neither of them felt like moving, so they indulged themselves for once.
It wasn't until the sound of Mingzhu crying for food woke up that the couple reluctantly got up.
Mo Jiuye was used to this pattern of family members waking up early to see the children, so he opened the door and walked out, leaving the room to the women.
He Zhiran didn't need to do anything; the women didn't require her to feed the children herself. The two elderly ladies and sisters-in-law would fight over serving the two little ones, and some would even be unhappy if they couldn't assist the babies...
With the children in the care of the family's women, He Zhiran became idle. She would check on the breeding farm, inspect the crops in the fields, and appropriately provide key input when Mo Jiuye was building greenhouses these days.
It wasn't until the afternoon that He Zhiran walked towards her own courtyard. As she approached the corner, she saw Meng Huaining riding back on a horse.
Seeing He Zhiran, Meng Huaining dismounted.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you busy at the Government Office today? Why are you back so early?"
He Zhiran knew that Meng Huaining must have had something to do, returning at this hour, and she hadn't seen her brother-in-law today, even though they usually went together.
Meng Huaining knew that Sister-in-law He was the matriarch of the Mo Family and had the right to voice her opinion on matters discussed by the men.
"Sister-in-law, let's go to Second Uncle first. A letter has arrived from the Capital city."
The mention of a letter from the Capital city was a matter of great concern for He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye. After Xiaobai returned, he had been recovering from his injuries in the space, and although they were worried about the situation in the Capital city, they couldn't ask the injured Xiaobai to deliver messages.
Finally, a letter had arrived from the Capital city, but Meng Huaining's expression suggested that the content was not very optimistic.
"I'll go call your Brother-in-law first." At the moment, the other Mo brothers were mostly on the mountain, and it would take some time to call them back. He Zhiran was eager to learn the contents of the letter, so she decided to call Mo Jiuye to Second Uncle's place first.
He Zhiran returned to the greenhouse area and took Mo Jiuye with her.
There was no need to find Mo Qing and Fourth Brother, as the two immobile ones were left in the main courtyard making bamboo tubes for bombs.
Currently, the room only had Mo Qing, Fourth Brother, Mo Jiuye, He Zhiran, and Meng Huaining.
Meng Huaining cautiously looked towards the entrance before taking out the letter from the Capital city and handing it to Mo Qing.
"Father-in-law, this is the letter I just received from the Capital city. The situation is not very optimistic. Please review it first."
