Inside Luotang Courtyard, Mo Jiangche sat in an armchair in the main hall with a slightly pale complexion, draped in an outer robe. From inside the rooms came Lady Dong's piercing cries, one wave higher than the last, while maidservants and older matrons hurried in and out carrying basins of blood-stained water.
Lady Xu, her belly prominent, also sat in the main hall, having dispatched the Mansion Physician and the matrons into the inner chamber to attend to Lady Dong. She poured a cup of warm tea for Mo Jiangche and said, "Don't worry, Husband, everything will be fine."
It wasn't that Mo Jiangche cared how Lady Dong fared; he only wished for her to live. As long as she lived, she wouldn't bring trouble upon his father. Beyond that, he felt a twinge of heartache for the child—it had been his own recklessness, never imagining that Lady Dong would conceive.
