Madam Yu's face was deathly pale, with her lips bitten until they were red and swollen. Her plump white hands were rubbing her abdomen, wanting to exert force but not daring to, clearly indicating that she was enduring unbearable pain.
Mo Qianshang knew some basic first aid knowledge, so she quickly and carefully examined her and checked her pulse.
Before she could finish taking these measures, Madam Yu cried out in pain again and fainted.
Mo Qianshang didn't have time to think much. She quickly pinched the philtrum and, seeing that Madam Yu had some reaction, she ordered Gou Dan to rescue the other maid who was tied up.
Once they had almost all their men, Mo Qianshang immediately instructed Yu Wende to gently lay Madam Yu down, and then had a maid gently lift Madam Yu's feet.
"Be very gentle, so as not to hurt the baby in your wife's womb."
Having received Mo Qianshang's instructions, the little maid didn't dare to breathe loudly and carried the load very carefully.
Everyone was surprised to see this scene, as it was the first time they had ever seen a pregnant woman treated like this. Although they didn't ask aloud, Yu Wende was, after all, a husband and father, and Mo Qianshang patiently explained.
"The reason for having the maid do this is... to wake Madam Yu up as soon as possible. The reasons involve family traditions and are not convenient to disclose."
Since there was no one else in the village around, no one would expose her for making up medical stories about what her family had taught her.
However, these claims do have some medical basis. Given Madam Yu's current lying position, raising her legs would help accelerate blood circulation throughout her body, allowing her heart and brain to receive blood more quickly, thus alleviating the symptoms of coma more rapidly.
Mo Qianshang's explanation to them was rather crude, but since they couldn't find any other doctors at the moment, they had no choice but to believe it. Moreover, Mo Qianshang's calm and composed demeanor made them feel even more at ease.
After holding this position for a moment, Mo Qianshang saw that Madam Yu was on the verge of waking up, so she raised her hand and pinched her philtrum again.
As she withdrew her hand, Madam Yu actually slowly opened her eyes. She was still a little confused to find herself surrounded by several people, not knowing what had happened.
"Madam, do you feel any discomfort anywhere?" Noticing the stray hairs on Madam Yu's forehead being ruffled by the wind, Yu Wende gently tucked them behind her ears, his eyes overflowing with affection.
As if she was used to her husband's deep affection, Madam Yu did not feel uncomfortable at all. She pursed her lips, carefully savored the moment, and then gently shook her head.
"I still have a slight ache, but it shouldn't be anything serious. Master, there's no need to worry. With the ginseng that Miss Mo gave me earlier, I'm already much better."
Upon hearing Madam mention Mo Qianshang, Yu Wende suddenly realized that he had lost his composure and forgotten that there were other people around him. He quickly turned to Mo Qianshang and sincerely thanked her.
"Thank you for your kindness in helping us. If it weren't for your repeated assistance, my family would probably be reunited on the road to the underworld by now."
"Judging from your appearances, you two don't seem destined for a short life. Even if I don't intervene, you should encounter other good people. Just remember to always have a kind heart and do good deeds, and things will get better for you and your child."
Mo Qianshang wasn't just saying this offhand; she did know a little about physiognomy, thanks in large part to a former partner who had worked with her on a mission.
That person usually seemed aloof and reserved, and would occasionally tinker with things like talismans. She wasn't interested in them, but she liked to tease them.
Over time, he memorized some of what the other person said and also learned a bit about face reading.
Many of her skills were unremarkable in her previous life, and she didn't even care about them much. Unexpectedly, after arriving in this other world, many of them became useful, which greatly surprised her.
Hearing Mo Qianshang praise them for their future success, the couple exchanged a glance, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes. Then they both looked at Mo Qianshang, their voices pleading.
“Miss Mo, you are aware of our current situation. Even though I am not a doctor, I can guess that my wife's health is definitely not suitable for continuing a long journey. I wonder…”
"Could we return to the village together for a while and rest until we've recovered before setting off again?" Yu Wende, a grown man, said, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
After a moment's thought, Mo Qianshang understood the reason. When she invited this family to the village earlier, Yu Wende must have suspected her, which is why he felt a little guilty now.
Fortunately, Mo Qianshang was not the type to nitpick. Seeing that the two of them were a little uneasy, she smiled gently at them and then made an inviting gesture.
“If you don’t mind the simplicity of the village, feel free to stay here. However, you will have to take care of your own food, clothing and other necessities. After all, the villagers are all ordinary people and everyone is struggling to make a living, so we probably can’t provide you with much.”
Seeing that Mo Qianshang did not make things difficult for them at all, Yu Wende was extremely grateful.
In addition, although they were wealthy merchants, their families had been poor in their early years, so they could understand what Mo Qianshang was saying and responded with smiles in their eyes.
"Then thank you very much, Miss Mo, for taking me in. I will always remember your kindness." Yu Wende helped the lady in his arms to the side to steady her, and then stood up and bowed solemnly to Mo Qianshang to express his gratitude.
His respectful manner made it seem as if Mo Qianshang was treating them as an elder in their family, which made her quite embarrassed. She quickly called Gou Danzi to take them back to the village.
When they returned to the village, there was virtually no trace of the bandits left. Even the dungeon was empty. Now everyone could finally live in the village with complete peace of mind.
Because Mo Qianshang had dealt with the bandits twice, everyone was convinced of her abilities. When she returned with her men, almost no one had any objections and greeted Yu Wende's family in a friendly manner.
After Gou Danzi's mother arranged for Yu Wende's family to find a place to stay, Mo Qianshang didn't linger anywhere else. She hadn't seen her children for at least a day and missed them dearly.
Especially the youngest, Qin Yuya, loves to stick close to her and knows if the little girl has cried.
Thinking this way, Mo Qianshang wished she could sprout wings and fly back to her residence quickly so she could hold the little girl and comfort her, lest the little girl be left with any trauma.
To her surprise, when she walked outside the courtyard, she did not hear any noise. Puzzled, she pushed the door open and went inside.
To her surprise, the children were all quiet, some sleeping, some reading, and even Qin Yuya, whom she was most worried about, was standing obediently in front of Qin Baiyi, letting him comb her hair.
However, she made a slightly loud noise when she came in, and the children's eyes quickly fell on her. After a moment of stunned silence, they rushed towards her, calling her "Mother" repeatedly.
She was both moved and heartbroken, and quickly reached out to hug the children.
"I've been quite busy these past few days, I'm so sorry. Have you been frightened by those bandits outside?"
