reborn idle wife

Chapter 183
Mo Youran coughed twice, looked around, pulled her sister to take two steps, Nangong Xiao's eyebrows twitched, his eyes quickly swept around, followed behind the siblings three steps away without any trace, separated opportunity for others to approach.

"What are you doing?" Dongli asked in a low voice, "But what's wrong?"

She's not a fool. Mo Youran's hesitant and sneaky look clearly shows that he has something to say but doesn't dare to say it. Could it be that someone around is watching them?As soon as this idea came out, I was terrified. Could it be that Emperor Jinxuan was worried, and secretly arranged for people to follow and monitor them?But how did Mo Youran know?Or did I think I was wrong, and the matter happened with the Mo family in Qinghe Town?

"Don't say anything, let's go home first." Mo Youran patted his younger sister's hand twice, blinked his eyes, Dong Li stopped asking, and followed Mo Youran into the carriage, Nangong Xiao followed suit After getting out of the car, Bi Shu, who followed them, did not follow. Instead, he chose to ride a horse. While walking, he looked at the surrounding environment that was completely different from the capital, full of novelty.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Mo Youran slightly opened the corner of the curtain to look out, Dong Li gave him a hand: "Don't worry, Bi Shu is outside, he is very powerful, no one will get close to us."

Mo Youran sighed slightly, and lowered her voice: "Don't be too scared, although the mother's illness is serious, but the doctor has seen it, and there are still a few important medicinal ingredients, and when you find it, you can start to treat it, there is no need What alarmed you was what your father said. Your position in the capital is extremely delicate now. If you are not careful, you will be involved in the wave of seizing the heirloom. He can only create opportunities for you to leave the capital as much as possible, but after all, leaving Go back, and the rest, you still need to think about it yourself."

"I understand." Dongli's heart burst into flames. No matter where he went, his parents would always be concerned about him, and he tried his best to help out with suggestions.

Nangong Xiao also understood, he was very fond of the old father-in-law, and at the same time admired his sense of politics, the timing of the action was too good, they were worrying about how to leave the capital, and they handed it over when they fell asleep. The pillow fit seamlessly, and he still had some doubts about his mother-in-law. It's time for her to be so sick, is it true or not?

All the way without a word, the carriage rushed to Mo's mansion quickly. In the past, when he came back, Mrs. Xu would wait at the door with people early. This time, he felt a little lonely. Only Mr. Mo was alone. Dong Li got off the carriage. I went to salute my father, but Master Mo grabbed me, and I bent down: "If you can't do it, it should be Cao Min paying respects to Her Highness the Princess." As he said that, he wanted to kneel down.

How could Dongli agree? This is her own biological father. As the old saying goes, a father kneels down, and the laws of nature are intolerable. She couldn't stand it, and hurriedly stopped her: "Father, what are you doing? No matter how you change your identity, you can't change it." It's your daughter, didn't you shorten your daughter's life by doing this?"

Nangong Xiao also came over and persuaded: "Father-in-law, this is not a formal occasion, there are not so many etiquettes, we juniors can be the ones who can't afford the etiquette of the elders, let's save these trivial etiquettes, for example Leisurely, he has never paid much attention to these vain gifts." By the way, in front of his father-in-law, he made a fuss about Youran, and every time this kid saw him, he would always look at him with white eyes.

Mo leisurely, he stared angrily at this villain with his eyes wide open. Master Mo coughed and gave his son a hard look. He was a well-educated child. The things I learned before are ignored more and more: "Youran, don't be rude!"

Mo Youran waited to get angry in front of her father, and secretly gave Nangong Xiao a look, villain, let's wait and see!
Bai Cen, her personal servant girl at Xu's place, is guarding her. Bai Cen is 24 years old this year, and she should have been married a long time ago, but this girl has no plan to get married. When she came down, Xu persuaded her a few times and saw that she was determined, so she didn't say anything more. It is also a good thing to have capable people by her side.

"Slave, please greet my aunt and aunt!" Bai Cen saw them coming in, and immediately walked over to salute, with a wet handkerchief in his hand, he was just wiping Mrs. Xu's sweat.

"Aunt Bai Cen, get up!" Dongli has a good impression of this big maid who is nine years older than him. If Bai Cen was born in the 21st world, she would definitely be a strong woman: "How is mother? I asked my father and brother, both of them It's vague, it just said that it will be fine when the medicinal materials are found, and it's just perfunctory, aunt, you have to tell me."

"Auntie, come in and have a look at Madam!" Bai Cen's eyes turned red immediately, and he moved away: "You will know when you come in and take a look."

Seeing Bai Cen's state, Dong Li immediately felt extremely ominous in his heart. He quickly stepped through the door and walked to the bed. Xu was lying on the bed, breathing evenly, which showed that he had slept deeply.His face has lost its former fairness, it looks sallow, his anger looks weak, and his body is also very thin. When touched, it is almost skinny, and his skinny appearance feels painful to the touch.

Dong Li couldn't help crying when he saw it, and sat beside Xu with a sore nose, and gently stroked her thin face with high cheekbones: "How could this be? Auntie, why is mother so thin?" ?”

Bai Cen sighed at the side: "In the beginning, I just felt a headache, and Madam didn't take it to heart. Auntie, you know that things are very complicated in the backyard of our big family. It's fortunate that the Mo family doesn't have those messy concubines. House, Madam has already relaxed a lot, but it is common to have occasional headaches because you still have to manage business such as Zhuangzi, shop and property."

Nangong Xiao was also surprised by Xu's huge changes. He frowned deeply and looked worriedly. He reached out and held Dongli's shoulders, as if to give her strength.

"Later, the headache became more and more severe, and it hurt every day. No matter day or night, the pain was uncontrollable. The doctors changed one after another, and the prescriptions changed a lot, but they always didn't work." Bai said. Cen himself couldn't help being sad as he talked, and wiped away his tears: "Later, a barefoot doctor came, who looked like a charlatan, and the master couldn't help it, so he called him in with the mentality of giving it a try. The result is that people can’t be judged by appearances. After taking a few medicines, the pain is not so severe. But he also said that Madam’s disease is not difficult to treat, but some medicinal materials are more difficult to deal with. Without medicinal materials, he can only Controlling the pain, Madam won't be in so much pain that she won't be able to fall asleep recently, but it's worrying to be unable to sleep all day long."

Looking at his weeping wife, Nangong Xiao felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart: "What kind of medicinal materials are so rare? I brought a lot of medicinal materials back here. Go and see if there are any suitable ones?"

"You don't even need to look to know that there are absolutely none." Bai Cen sighed, if those were so easy to find, the Mo family would not be at a loss: "The medicinal materials are not rare, they can be seen everywhere outside. But there are extremely strict requirements on the age, like the cocklebur, which will die after one year of growth, but the doctor has designated ten years of cocklebur, where can I find this? If you have money, you can find it. No way!"

It turned out that this is the case, and Dongli's heart suddenly became cold. No wonder his father and brother hesitated and refused to tell the truth. It turns out that this medicinal material is indeed not rare, but it is very rare in this year. Generally speaking, the older the medicinal material is, the more precious it is. The better the efficacy of the medicine, for example, ginseng, the century-old ginseng is much more valuable than ordinary ones.

But a hundred-year-old ginseng is nothing to people like Nangong Xiao. Even the Mo family has some stock in the warehouse, but it is obviously a year-old thing, but it must be ten years old. Where is it going? Find?It is even rarer and harder to find than ginseng that has been around for a hundred years or even a thousand years.

Dong Li suddenly felt desperate, buried his face in Xu's bony hands, tears flowed down Xu's hands, Xu seemed to feel something, his fingers moved slightly, and then, his closed eyes opened When she opened her eyes, she saw the person sitting in front of her with a kind smile on her face. Because of her thinness, her eyes were extraordinarily large: "Dongli, when did you come back?" She touched her daughter with her hand His face: "You seem to have lost a lot of weight, do you refuse to eat properly again? You child, you will lose a lot of weight every summer."

"How can you compare to you, mother?" Dongli helped Xu sit up, grabbed the quilt and covered her body: "Look how thin you look, I almost didn't recognize you, now I'm back , I will take good care of you, if you can't gain weight, I won't leave."

"That's good, I'm very willing." A gratified smile appeared on Xu's face, "I'm just afraid that Xiao'er will not be happy, so you should wait now. It's strange that he is willing to keep his wife."

Nangong Xiao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. It would be quite embarrassing for him to leave his wife alone.

"Mother, don't worry, your illness will definitely get better. Isn't it just a few rare medicinal materials?" Dong Li massaged Xu's legs and feet with his hands, and sat aside and chattered: "To tell you the truth, daughter I have seen a lot of rare things in this year. If it was before, maybe I would think that the wandering doctor is talking nonsense. How can there be such medicinal materials? But now, I feel that there is a reason for the existence of all things. Reasonable, since he said so, he might have seen it before, we use dim sum, mother, you have always been kind, God will not be unkind."

Mrs. Xu just looked at her daughter's face with a smile, as if she didn't take her words to heart at all, and looked at her daughter's more and more beautiful face almost greedily. Few, maybe the chance to see her daughter will be less and less in the future, she wants to take a look at the child while she still understands, but unfortunately, it seems that she will not see her son marrying a wife, and her daughter has a child.

Dongli helped Mrs. Xu do a full-body massage, and then together with Bai Cen, helped Mrs. Xu go out and walked a few steps in the yard. She had been lying on the bed for so long, and her body was a little stiff. Seeing the outside The sun feels a little dizzy.

"Dongli, I know my mother's illness in my heart, I'm afraid I won't make it through that day." Taking advantage of Bai Cen's time to pour tea for them, Mrs. Xu took Dongli's hand: "The only thing I worry about is You guys, you are okay, you are already married, Xiao Er, I see, she is a good and responsible child, and will be able to protect you in the future, but your brother, there is no one who knows the cold and the hot, I am afraid When I go there one day, he will have to observe filial piety for three years, after the filial piety period, how can there be a girl of the right age?"
