Mo Qingze’s old face reddened as he stubbornly said, "As long as it is for your good, I won’t refuse, but should there be a next ti, you must wait until I return. Do not do as you did today."
Only heaven knew how worried and frightened he had been when he had returned ho after dismissing his class and heard that his wife had fainted! It was not until this mont that he realized how important this woman, who had appeared in his life for less than a year, actually was to him!
"Mmm, I will listen to my husband," Cui Qingrou obediently nodded, seeing the concern in the man’s eyes, a great sense of happiness welled up inside her.
Mo Qingze’s heart ward as he looked into his wife’s tender gaze. Coughing to cover his emotion, he asked softly, "Rourou, how are you feeling now? Does it still hurt?"
Cui Qingrou assessed her condition and shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt anymore, I just feel a bit weak."
She wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, but it felt as though there was a warm fire in her lower abdon, comfortably warm. This feeling was more pleasant than at any other ti—could this be the benefit of taking a dicinal bath?
Mo Qingze was reassured and once again exhorted, "Rourou shouldn’t go out these next two days. If there’s anything that needs doing, let the maids handle it. Yanyan will co over in three days to take your pulse."
Cui Qingrou helplessly said, "Rest assured, husband, I am not a child, I won’t be reckless with my health."
Marrying this man ant she did not live this life in vain!
...
Three days later, Mo Yan arrived at the Scholar Mansion as promised.
Seeing her mother, whose complexion was even more rosy than before, Mo Yan knew that the last dicinal bath must have been successful. To confirm her guess, she began to take her mother’s pulse while inquiring about her feelings over the past few days.
When Mo Yan learned about the changes in her mother’s lower abdon and the pulse signaled that the previously blocked area was now clear, she was certain her mother’s infertility was cured, and there would be no problem conceiving children.
"Yanyan, does this an there’s no need for a second bath?" Seeing the joy on her daughter’s face, Cui Qingrou was relieved, secretly pleased that her suffering had not been in vain.
Mo Yan, containing her extre delight, nodded and said, "The benefits from that dicinal bath were very good, and there is no need for a second ti. You may stop the dicinal diet as well. Just eat more fresh vegetables and don’t overwork yourself... I assure you, you will have a house full of children and live a long life."
Cui Qingrou was listening seriously until she heard "a house full of children and live a long life," and then she couldn’t help but laugh, "Whether I live a long life is inconsequential. I just hope for a house full of grandchildren. But Xin Er and the others are still young, you, as their elder sister, must set a good example."
With that, she gave a aningful glance at Mo Yan’s stomach, almost wishing for a grandchild to pop out right then and there.
Mo Yan knew her mother had misunderstood her aning, but just smiled without explaining and simply said, "I will work hard, and I’m sure to give you grandchildren to hold soon." Maybe a son would co before a grandchild, heh!
Having resolved a concern, Mo Yan felt lighter as she threw herself into her grand enterprise of accumulating good deeds, starting to ponder the upcoming education initiative.
Earlier this year, the initiative to support the education of students from poor families, which had been trialed within Jing City, was finally implented in several other test points throughout Great Chu. Despite not being widespread, the good deeds accumulated were not insignificant. Just a month ago, the Space reached the upgrade point and could rise to the Eighth Level at any ti.
Now was not the best ti for this educational initiative, so Mo Yan decided to draft a rough plan first. When the initiative to support poor students was rolled out across Great Chu, her plan had a better chance of success.
Even though these plans did not require the Court to pay silver, they did need the Court to invest manpower for supervision. This would require a large input of resources and inevitably affect various interests. The resistance that existed was simply suppressed by the formidable Emperor Huian and Chu Heng.
Just short of reaching the upgrade, Xuetuan was even more anxious than Mo Yan, urging her every day to hasten and do a few more good deeds. Achieve the small plan of reaching the Eighth Level first, then slowly work on the big plan of establishing the schools.
As Mo Yan considered whether to disguise herself and sit in her master’s dical hall for consultations, one night she suddenly felt a burning sensation in her palm, abruptly waking her from her half-dream state.
"What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" As soon as Mo Yan moved, Xiao Ruiyuan imdiately awoke, wrapping his arms around her and softly comforting, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here."
"Yes, it was a bit scary." Knowing she had been misunderstood, Mo Yan didn’t bother to explore the reason for waking up in the middle of the night, instead, she simply went with it and admitted to having been startled by a bad dream.
