Chapter 292

Old Lady Mo sorted out her thoughts for a moment, and looked at Mo Jiuye: "Jiuye, what do you think about this matter?"

She had long seen that on the surface, it was the Ninth Son and his wife who found the other sons, but the one who really had the ability was the Ninth Son's wife. By asking Mo Jiuye, it was equivalent to indirectly asking He Zhiran.

Even though there were only mother and son in the room at the moment, Mo Jiuye's words could completely represent He Zhiran.

Mo Jiuye was a little embarrassed at the moment. He knew that in the face of Mr. Si Meng, He Zhiran would have to be present in order to be of help. Finding his father and brothers could help undo the Gu poison as soon as possible. However, He Zhiran was currently pregnant, and he absolutely could not let her take such risks.

"Mother, He Zhiran is currently pregnant, so I plan to go to the Western Regions alone."

"Is this true?" When Old Lady Mo heard the news that the Ninth Daughter-in-Law was pregnant, she couldn't even express the excitement in her heart.

The so-called "ice and fire dual heavens" feeling was probably like this. She had just heard that the old Duke and two sons were still alive, and she was happy in her heart. However, soon it was replaced by a surge of inexplicable anxiety.

Now hearing again that the daughter-in-law was pregnant, she was so happy that tears streamed down her face.

Mo Jiuye knew that his mother would be happy to hear this news. He had been back for so long, and finally he could make the old lady happy.

"Mother, it's true. He Zhiran is already two months pregnant."

After confirming the news, Old Lady Mo could no longer sit still.

"The bumps along the way must have been hard on her. Let mother go take a look."

As Old Lady Mo spoke, she had already stood up, leaving her several sons who also had happy expressions on their faces behind.

He Zhiran had indeed suffered a lot along the way, especially since she had recently developed morning sickness. She had no appetite when looking at anything, making her look somewhat weak all over.

Lan Er and Yu Er already knew she was pregnant. The two had taken care of the pregnant Fourth Princess before, so they were not unfamiliar with this.

They knew He Zhiran had a bumpy ride all the way, and must have been uncomfortable all over, so they stayed by her side to take care of her. At the moment, the two had already laid out the bedding to let He Zhiran lie down and rest first.

Lan Er even took the initiative to go to the kitchen to boil hot water to help wipe her face.

He Zhiran felt that Lan Er and Yu Er were very thoughtful. Her face felt much more relaxed after being wiped with the hot towel. Just as she was feeling a little drowsy, there was a knock at the door.

Yu Er opened the door and saw that it was Old Lady Mo coming over. She hurriedly bowed politely.

Mo Jiuye had just briefly explained about meeting the Fourth Princess, so she had some understanding of the two unfamiliar faces, knowing they were both people around the Fourth Princess. She nodded slightly, then walked straight to He Zhiran.

Seeing her mother-in-law coming, He Zhiran wanted to get up, but was pressed down by Old Lady Mo with one hand.

"Lie down, pregnancy is tiring in itself, plus you rushed such a long way by boat and carriage."

"Mother, you already know?"

Old Lady Mo smiled and sat down next to her, "I just heard Jiuye say it. This boy really should have mentioned such a big thing earlier."

This was the first time He Zhiran had seen her mother-in-law smile so happily. It was evident how eagerly she had been waiting for a grandson.

"Mother, I'm fine. My husband took good care of me on the road."

At this time, Mo Jiuye also followed along. This was also the first time he had seen his old mother act so anxiously.

"Mother, I will take good care of He Zhiran from now on. Just wait to hold your big fat grandson!"

Seeing her son's silly appearance, Old Lady Mo couldn't help laughing. "Alright, Mother will wait to help you take care of the baby."

When Mo's sons heard that the Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law was pregnant, they were equally delighted.

However, it was not appropriate for those elder brothers to come over and visit. Each went back to call their own wives over.

The sisters-in-law came over one after another when they heard the news. In addition to joy on their faces, there was also envy, without the slightest hint of jealousy. This showed how pure their dispositions were.

Especially those sisters-in-law who had found their husbands again, they all subconsciously lowered their heads to look at their own flat bellies.

This was because He Zhiran had not explicitly mentioned the fact that they were infertile due to being poisoned.

The sisters-in-law were still very puzzled. In the past when their husbands were away campaigning in the capital for years, that was one thing. But in recent months, being with their husbands day and night, why was there no sign of pregnancy? Now that the antidote Pei Pi had been found to help the sisters-in-law detoxify, He Zhiran no longer intended to continue concealing it. After discussing it with Old Lady Mo, she told them the truth.

The sisters-in-law were somewhat unable to accept the fact that after being married for many years without children, it turned out to be the fault of Empress Dashun when they heard they had been poisoned.

The Second Sister-in-Law had lived with her husband the longest after marrying into the Mo family. She had seen countless doctors and drank stomachs full of bitter medicine for this reason, yet still failed to conceive successfully. It turned out it was all because of the poisoning by the Empress.

"It's really too much, what offense did our Mo family commit against her that she would treat us this way, depriving us of the right to be mothers."

Although the other sisters-in-law did not speak out in righteous indignation like the Second Sister-in-Law, they also clenched their fists tightly, showing the anger in their hearts.

The reason why He Zhiran did not tell the truth after discovering they were poisoned was that she did not want to add unnecessary troubles to the sisters-in-law.

Now it was different. She had found the Pei Pi that could help make the antidote for the sisters-in-law. After detoxification, she would slowly help them recuperate. And the elder brothers had also been found one after another, so children would come sooner or later.

Moreover, although the present days were somewhat arduous, there was none of the deceit and scheming of the capital. The sisters-in-law liked it too. In the future, with children around, they would have no regrets in this life.

"Sisters-in-law, don't worry. My husband and I went to the Southern Border this time and found the medicinal materials to help detoxify you. In the next few days I will make the antidote for you to take. You must make every effort afterwards to give birth to more nephews and nieces for me."

If it were in the past, the sisters-in-law would definitely have been shy hearing He Zhiran tell them to make more effort.

At the moment, they couldn't care less about embarrassment, focusing all their attention on the antidote.

The Eighth Sister-in-Law was one of the earliest to reunite with her husband. She excitedly went up and grabbed He Zhiran's hand.

"Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law, can our poison really be cured?"

He Zhiran smiled and patted the Eighth Sister-in-Law's hand. "Eighth Sister-in-Law, don't worry, this poison can definitely be cured."

"That's wonderful, Ninth Younger Sister-in-Law. You don't know how much I want to have my own child." The Eighth Sister-in-Law was already crying with joy.

The other sisters-in-law had the same feelings.

Back then, when they heard that their husbands had died in battle, they had completely lost hope for the future.

Without their husbands, and no children around, they were destined to grow old alone.

Some sisters-in-law even felt despair, and had once thought of ending their lives when hearing that their husbands had died in battle.

Now it was completely different. Their dead husbands had come back to life, and they might have their own children in the future. The sisters-in-law suddenly had great hopes for the future.

Moreover, although the present days were somewhat arduous, there was none of the deceit and scheming of the capital that they liked. In the future, with children around, they would have no regrets in this life.
