Chapter 499: Is Yamen Busy Today

Chapter 499

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.

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."
