The old doctor was very old. He carefully checked Mo Zhenzhen's pulse for a long time before talking to Mo Xiang.
"The pulse of Qian Jin is stable, the fetus is healthy, and the mother's body is well nourished. It is not easy to nourish multiple fetuses to this extent. Mr. Xiang is so lucky."
Perhaps sensing Mo Xiang's nervousness, the imperial physician directly addressed Mo Zhenzhen as "Ling Qianjin" instead of Mrs. Zuo.
Mo Xiang obviously relaxed after hearing this, and then asked casually.
"Can you tell the gender of this baby?"
"This..." The old doctor paused, and after thinking for a while, he still told the truth: "Ling Qianjin is pregnant with neither one nor twins. There are at least three pulses, so the pulses are a bit confusing and difficult to judge. "But the old doctor's voice changed again, "But with Qianjin's pulse, the chance of giving birth to a son is indeed higher."
The imperial doctor always likes to be restrained when speaking. For him to say this, it means that there is at least a male fetus in Mo Zhenzhen's belly. At that moment, Mo Xiang's expression completely relaxed, and there was even a bit of smile on his serious face. He even said a few words to me.
"There are many dangers in giving birth to a woman. If she can win a boy at one stroke, it will be regarded as an explanation to the Zuo family." These words showed that he was somewhat passionate about his daughter. Of course, the imperial doctor also smiled and praised Mo Xiang, and then this The imperial doctor then took his leave.
After the people left, the smile on Mo Xiang's face also disappeared. When he looked at Mo Zhenzhen, he became the serious Mo Xiang again.
With a look, the waiter went down, the door was closed, and was guarded by Mo Xiang's confidant.
"Mo Zhenzhen, since you have married as the wife of the Zuo family, you should be able to abide by your duties to support your husband and raise your children." She lectured her as soon as she came up. If the step-wife hadn't spoken to her, Mo Zhenzhen would have thought that this Prime Minister Mo was unwilling. I want a child.
"What does father mean by this? I have been married into the Zuo family for almost ten years, and I have worked hard to take care of the housework for the Zuo family. He, Zuo Dingmin, is loyal to the country, but he is away from home all day long. I am a widow at home, so I have no complaints. , but he really can't hurt my heart like that. I'm waiting at home for him, but he's out having fun." Mo Zhenzhen understood what Mo Xiang meant. He wanted to build a memorial arch even though he was a bitch, so he came to Mo Zhenzhen was just going through the motions.
Mo Zhenzhen was willing to act with Mo Xiang in this scene, but everyone knew very well that Mo Zhenzhen didn't act very hard.
What she said seemed to be sincere, but in reality she didn't have much emotion, and she spoke calmly. Anyone could see that she was "complaining", but Mo Zhenzhen didn't have any at all.
This performance even made Mo Xiang's expression calmer.
In this patriarchal society, no man wants to see a resentful woman.
They can live and drink, they can be homeless because of various things, and they can have many women, but the wife at home must be able to abide by her duties and not cheat on others. She must be filial to her parents, take care of their family business, and have children at the same time. Teach them well.
Women cannot have any complaints or resentments. They must be happy and accept these things happily and without complaint. They cannot have any complaints. If they cannot do the worst in any of them, then men’s complaints and anger will disappear. Hitting them, these are all sins for women.
Therefore, Mo Xiang didn't think there was anything wrong with Zuo Dingmin sending concubines home one after another. On the contrary, if Mo Zhenzhen really had any complaints about this, he would feel the teachings of Mo Zhenzhen, a married woman. If there is a problem, he may even criticize his stepwife harshly, thinking that she failed to educate his daughter well.
Although his current attitude is perfunctory, it is exactly in line with Mo Xiang's thoughts, but the drama still has to go on.
"These are your duties. Since you have become the wife of the Zuo family, you shouldn't have any complaints."
Mo Zhenzhen pretended to touch the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, pretending to cry, and then said.
"I don't care. Although I'm married, this is still my natal home. (Mo Zhenzhen turns to her step-wife) Mother, I'm really wronged. I don't want to stay in that sad place of the General's Mansion. Mother, my stomach hurts when I think about it. My heart aches when a general brings back a woman under such protection, and my stomach aches, mother."
Everyone could tell that Mo Zhenzhen's stomachache was fake, but the step-wife was still very nervous. She gently put her hand on Mo Zhenzhen's towering belly and said anxiously.
"You feel great. Are you about to give birth? Don't be sad. This is your natal home. The imperial doctor shouldn't have gone far. I'll call him back!"
The step-wife was about to leave as she spoke, but Mo Zhenzhen held her hand down, and then Mo Zhenzhen repeated it helplessly.
"Mom, I said I have a stomachache. If I go back to the General's Mansion, I might have fetal gas."
Seeing that Mo Zhenzhen didn't really seem to have a problem, the step-wife reacted belatedly and spoke quickly.
"The Prime Minister's Mansion is your natal family, I am your mother, and your father is still here. There are no elders in the Zuo family at this critical time. I don't trust you to give birth in the Zuo family. You can live at home. I will take good care of you."
Then the step-wife turned to look at Mo Xiang, and spoke after almost summoning up the courage.
"Let Zhenzhen come back and live there. There is no serious master other than Zhenzhen in the General's Mansion. She will have to undergo confinement after giving birth. She is not pregnant with only one child. After giving birth, she will have to do double confinement. How can she do it without someone to help her? How can she, a postpartum woman, have to work hard to manage the middle school during confinement?"
The step-wife defended in a low voice, speaking very sincerely.
Maybe among the three of them, she was the only one who didn't know clearly. This was just a formality.
Mo Xiang, who was always serious and disciplined, thought for a moment, then sighed and softened his tone.
"Forget it, I will go and tell Chuanshan (Zuo Dingmin's nickname) about this matter. He did indeed do something wrong this time. My daughter is too squeamish to be bullied like this."
After saying that, Mo Xiang rolled up his sleeves and left.
After Mo Xiang left, the step-wife's tense body relaxed. Then after thinking about it, her expression became a little complicated again. She looked back at Mo Zhenzhen and said with emotion.
"Your father still loves you."
Mo Zhenzhen laughed after hearing this and did not explain to her, she just said
"I'm a little hungry. I want to eat the walnut cake that the kitchen sent last time."
When the step-wife heard that Mo Zhenzhen was hungry and wanted something to eat, she immediately put aside the melancholy in her heart and hurriedly greeted outside.
"Go to the kitchen and ask them to make some walnut cake!"
After shouting, she thought about it and felt it was not enough, so she said again.
"Ask them to prepare some delicious meals. How can we fill up on those walnut cakes!"
The step-wife was worried about Mo Zhenzhen, or to be precise, she was worried about Mo Zhenzhen's belly. She finished the meal with Mo Zhenzhen in a daze, and then left after saying a few words to Mo Zhenzhen to take care of herself.
