Farm Girl's Manor-Chapter 1374: Extras 10 Moved_2

Mo Qingze was not afraid of his wife’s teasing. He clumsily touched his face and gently placed his hand on his wife’s belly, "As long as it grows up obediently and doesn’t trouble you, even if it laughs at me in the future, I will not spank it."

"Pfft!"

Cui Qingrou couldn’t help but laugh and chided, "Then you must not keep spanking Zhenzhen on a whim. If the one in your belly sees that, it will be frightened."

Mo Qingze raised an eyebrow and asked, "Has that rascal caused trouble again and gone to Rourou for help?"

It was not surprising that Mo Qingze would suspect this, as Zhenzhen was too mischievous. Since starting school, he often got into trouble with his classmates, frequently infuriating the master so much that he threatened to expel him.

Although the master cherished talent and only spoke in frustration, he could not help but inform Mo Qingze, the father, each time. After several instances, Mo Qingze was too embarrassed to face the master.

Cui Qingrou waved her hands quickly, "Not at all, you must not falsely accuse the child. In the future, ah, you should focus on teaching him, rather than always resorting to the cane."

Mo Qingze’s expression turned stern, instantly becoming the strict father, "That boy is playful and full of tricks. If not disciplined firmly, many problems are sure to arise! Just this month alone, the teacher has filed three complaints with me, how can I not be angry?"

Cui Qingrou shook her head helplessly, "Zhenzhen is at the age of mischief. As long as you guide him properly, using the cane might backfire, I’m afraid."

"Hmm, I’ve taken note of Rourou’s words. I have my own plans for disciplining that rascal, Rourou just needs to focus on nurturing the baby and not worry about this," Mo Qingze didn’t want to discuss how to educate a troublesome child at such a joyful moment.

Seeing this, Cui Qingrou said nothing further and instead brought up another matter, "Husband, I owe it to Yanyan for being able to conceive this child..." She then detailed the reaction after the medicinal bath, her words brimming with gratitude and emotion.

Since being diagnosed by doctors as infertile years ago, she and her mother had not spared any effort in seeking renowned doctors for consultation, but each time, right after taking her pulse, the doctors would shake their heads, declaring they were powerless to help and advising her to seek someone more skilled.

After many rejections, she gradually accepted the fact of her infertility and had given up on the dream of motherhood. Therefore, she proposed a divorce to her previous husband, who wanted to take another wife to continue the family line, and returned to her long-estranged home.

To meet someone she truly loved and who cherished her in return was already a blessing from God, she thought. She believed this to be God’s compensation to her, never expecting that she would have the chance to be a mother.

This girl could have pretended not to know, not bothered to care for her health, not needed to exhaust herself arranging medicinal baths for her... Yet, Yanyan did it all. She improved her health, rejuvenated her looks, and even gave her a child, filling the void of many years, all without mentioning a word to her face.

If not for today’s pregnancy, she would have been unaware of the many silent sacrifices her daughter had made for her...

Mo Qingze had never thought that becoming a father again was the merit of his eldest daughter. Seeing his emotional wife, he understood very well why she felt so. If it had been him, he would have felt the same gratitude toward his eldest daughter.

"Yanyan, she... has been sensible from a young age, a good sister, a good daughter! Now that I think about it, it’s I, her father, who owes her much..." Mo Qingze suddenly felt his eyes turning red.

Since the family’s days had become better, Mo Qingze rarely dwelled on the past. After achieving his position in court, he dedicated half of his efforts to his career, hoping to build something for his children to rely on and allow them a more carefree life; the other half he focused on his children, trying to make up for the years he couldn’t accompany them as they grew.

But gradually he realized that the children had grown up and didn’t need his worry, even surpassing his expectations. He knew this was the merit of his eldest daughter. On one hand, he felt proud of his children, but on the other, there was a faint sense of loss; some things, once missed, would never return.

It was only at this moment that he understood just how fortunate he was to have an eldest daughter with such a magnanimous and benevolent heart!

Putting himself in his eldest daughter’s shoes, perhaps he would have treated a stepmother to whom he had no blood ties with respect and love, but as for finding a way to allow an infertile stepmother to conceive, he admitted that would be difficult for him to do. The most likely scenario would be to feign ignorance.

This child, she was too understanding, heartbreakingly so!

...

The fetus was not yet a month old, and according to custom, they could not announce the good news to friends and relatives with great fanfare. However, Xiao Ruiyuan and Mo Qingze, intoxicated by the joy of impending fatherhood, couldn’t hold back. Soon after, the news that both Mo Yan and Cui Qingrou, the mother and daughter, were both diagnosed as pregnant spread within a small circle.

These two fathers-in-law, one discreetly hinted that he was about to become a father to the Crown Prince, and then returned home contentedly after receiving the Crown Prince’s joyous congratulations; the other, beaming, invited his Big Uncle, Grand Master Cui, over for drinks under the pretense of celebrating his soon-to-be acquired status as an uncle.

The sudden pregnancy of a sister, diagnosed by famous doctors as forever childless, was originally a great piece of good news, but it stunned Grand Master Cui, leading him to fear that his sister’s health had deteriorated and been misdiagnosed by quacks. Frightened, he immediately sent his servants to fetch an Imperial Physician with his name card to examine his sister.

To his Big Uncle’s unusual reaction, Mo Qingze could only smile wryly, explaining the whole sequence of events once more before Grand Master Cui finally accepted that his sister was truly pregnant and that he was going to be an uncle.
