The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion
Chapter 468: We Just wanted to See It
Chapter 468
Old Lady Mo looked at the cute little face of the baby girl sleeping in her arms, feeling like her heart was melting.
After so many years, Mo Family finally had a new life born, and even welcomed two at once.
She was afraid the daughters-in-law would disturb the granddaughter's rest by quarreling, so she scolded fiercely: "You nine sisters-in-law and Older Baby also need to be taken care of, don't all crowd around here..." and compete with me for the baby granddaughter.
Furthermore, the Ninth Daughter-in-law and Older Baby are just as important. She was doing this mainly to take the granddaughter back to show Mo Qing.
When he sees that there is such a cute little granddaughter added to the family, he would even laugh himself awake from sleep.
Thinking back to when Mo Hanyue was born, Mo Qing barely slept a wink for almost a whole day and night, always taking care of his precious daughter. If it wasn't for affairs at court, I guess he could have accompanied his daughter the whole time.
The Eldest Sister-in-law has always played a leading role among the sisters-in-law, so even if she wanted to hold her little niece again, she had to consider the big picture at this time.
Especially since the Ninth Sister-in-Law had just given birth, preparations need to be made for some nourishing food to recover her health, and she had to personally lead people to prepare it.
Reluctantly taking one last look at the sleeping baby, Eldest Sister-in-law called the sisters-in-law to leave.
Seeing that no one was competing with her for the granddaughter, Old Lady Mo also got up to take the child back to her own courtyard.
Just as she came out of the room, she bumped into Zhao Midwife.
As a midwife, auspicious words came easily in order to earn more money.
Moreover, the twins born in Mo Family were really auspicious and joyful, she didn't even need to embellish much.
"Oh my... Congratulations to you! The daughter-in-law gave birth at once to a grandson and a granddaughter. You are clearly a fortunate person. From now on your days will be surrounded by children and grandchildren, no one can compare to you..."
If it were before, Old Lady Mo did not like to hear these compliments. But today was different, the more she listened to Zhao Midwife's words, the better she felt.
At the same time, she also remembered that the midwife had been busy for so long and had not yet been paid.
Old Lady Mo had prepared the money reward in advance and had been keeping it in her pocket. If she had not been so enthralled by the granddaughter just now, she would have already given it earlier.
Now after hearing Zhao Midwife say so many auspicious words all at once, not only did she give the reward she had originally prepared, but also took out extra silver from her own pocket to give to her.
"You've worked hard too, take this silver."
When Zhao Midwife took the silver and looked at it, she was startled to see there were actually several taels all together.
It was the first time she had received such a large reward. Although there were times when other families would give more rewards after giving birth to a big fat son, compared to what Mo Family gave, it was not even enough to look at.
The wrinkles on Zhao Midwife's face folded into smiles.
"Thank you Lady Mo, thank you... hehe..." Originally she still called Old Lady Mo Big Sister, but now she directly changed to calling her Lady.
With so much silver, it would last her a long time. She had originally thought that with the Ninth House pregnant with twins, there would be no chance of a smooth delivery. Frankly speaking, it would not be strange at all to lose one child to gain another three lives.
She did not expect the family to not only deliver safely, but also give birth to such handsome little siblings, both safe and sound.
When Zhao Midwife thought of these things, she felt a sense of glory. If this matter was brought up by outsiders, it would also be a great opportunity for her to spread her name.
Seeing Zhao Midwife off, Old Lady Mo hugged her granddaughter and walked briskly towards her own courtyard.
Just as she went out the door, she saw her sons rushing over.
"Mother, we heard that Ninth Sister-in-Law has given us a nephew and a niece. Let us see them quickly!"
Seeing her sons' eagerness, Old Lady Mo hurriedly took a few steps back.
"Lower your voices, don't frighten your niece."
Mo Jiacheng felt embarrassed and scratched his hand.
"Mother, we just want to take a look and promise not to make any noise."
As he spoke, the brothers slowed down their actions a lot, but still kept leaning forward.
Seeing this, Old Lady Mo could only reluctantly lift the corner of the baby's quilt and admonish, "Be gentle, if you ruin my precious granddaughter with your coarse hands, be careful I make you kneel to repent."
Kneeling to repent was a punishment they often suffered when they were young. Whenever they did something wrong, their mother would order them to go to the ancestral hall to kneel and repent. And during the punishment period they were not allowed to eat either. Ever since they grew up, their mother never punished them like that again. After not having heard those words for many years, hearing them from their mother’s mouth again showed how fearful she was that her little granddaughter would be frightened.
Even with the threat of kneeling to repent, they still must see the baby.
When Old Lady Mo lifted the corner of the quilt, Mo brothers instantly felt their hearts melting.
The pink tender face, the little mouth still squirming from time to time, made them as uncles eager to immediately snatch her from their mother's arms and fawn over her.
"Mother, is this our niece or nephew?" Mo Chongyuan asked softly.
Old Lady Mo was also looking at her granddaughter, the more she looked, the more she liked her, unable to take her eyes off at all.
"So beautiful, of course she's your niece."
"No wonder she's so beautiful, even cuter than Hanyue when she was little." As Mo Jiacheng spoke, he couldn't help reaching out a finger, trying to touch his niece's tender pink cheek, only to be slapped away by Old Lady Mo.
"Get away! Don't ruin my granddaughter with your coarse hands!"
Rebuked by his mother, Mo Jiacheng was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.
He was still reluctant. After being married for so many years, not having a single son or daughter of his own, he had been hoping that one of his brothers in the family could give birth to the next generation sooner, so that he could also bask in their glory and dote on them.
The Ninth Brother and his wife were respectable, giving birth to two babies at once for Mo Family. But Mother still wouldn't let him touch.
Mother only said he couldn't touch, she didn't say he couldn't hold.
Taking advantage of when Mother was tidying the baby's quilt, Mo Jiacheng suddenly grabbed the child from her arms.
"Mother, you are too old and have no strength. It's better if I hold her."
The other brothers actually had the same idea, but were afraid it would upset Mother, so they endured without doing the same.
Now that Niece was taken by Mo Jiacheng, the brothers instantly became excited.
"Second brother, hold her for a while then give her back to me."
"Yes, let's take turns holding niece."
"Me too..."
Seeing her sons like this, Old Lady Mo didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
It was good that there were more people to dote on her granddaughter together, but she herself hadn't had enough time to fawn over the baby yet!
"Jiacheng, quickly give the baby back to me. You are so clumsy, what if you hurt her accidentally?"
Before her words had even fallen, she had already pushed past the sons in front of her and grabbed the child back from Mo Jiacheng's arms.
Successfully snatching her granddaughter back, Old Lady Mo did not dare to pause for a moment and hurried towards her own courtyard.
