Chapter 1386: Extra Sixteen Production
After the New Year’s festival passed, the temperature rose day by day, and so did Mo Yan’s belly. By the time March came, she could no longer see her toes when she walked.
Since she could go into labor at any moment, Mo Yan rarely left the house, she even seldom returned to the Scholar Mansion just a few streets away.
One day, Liu Tinglan, who had returned to Jing City after half a month at Old Man Shen’s House, immediately visited Mo Yan at the General Mansion. Upon seeing that Mo Yan’s belly had grown even larger, she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "Yanyan, your belly is so huge! Are you sure you’re not carrying twins?"
Gently touching her own stomach, Mo Yan fretted, "I actually wish it were twins; otherwise, giving birth to such a big baby feels like it’s going to be the death of me."
"Tsk tsk tsk, what nonsense are you talking about!" Liu Tinglan gave her tactless friend a glare. As a person with firsthand experience, she knew too well the dangers of childbirth and was very sensitive to Mo Yan’s casually mentioning death.
Mo Yan quickly covered her mouth and blinked at her friend, signaling that she wouldn’t talk nonsense again.
Liu Tinglan’s expression softened, but her heart was filled with worry for her friend. Mo Yan’s belly was indeed too large, and that could easily lead to a difficult birth. "Have you arranged for the midwife? Did they say when you’ll give birth?"
Mo Yan nodded and, moving her hand away, said, "I’ve got three midwives staying in the house already. They all said it could happen at any time in the next few days. My husband, worried about complications, even spoke to the imperial physicians at Taiyi Hospital. I’ve also informed my master; now, we’re just waiting for it to start."
