The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 243

"Daughter, is there anything special about this name?" Old Lady Mo hesitated for a moment and told a story from the past.

"I'm just a little sensitive to the word 'Meng', that's all. Back then, when your father and I had just married, the border wars were intense, and His Majesty immediately appointed your father as Marshal to lead the troops to provide support.

When I was young, I was impatient and didn't want to be separated from your father, so I disguised myself as a man and followed the army.

Your father won a great victory when he went out on the expedition, and it only took him two months to drive the bandits in the South Border out of our Da Shun's territory, while capturing the top general of the South Border.

It was only when he was being interrogated that it was discovered that the top general of the South Border turned out to be their Crown Princess Yuan Meng.

At that time, I was standing next to your father in the uniform of an ordinary soldier. It was obvious that she was infatuated with your father and even claimed that as long as your father agreed to marry her, she would immediately return to the South Border to persuade her father the Emperor to completely surrender to Da Shun.

Her request was rejected outright by your father on the spot. Later, that Yuan Meng was unwilling to accept it. After she was exchanged back by the Emperor of the South Border with a large amount of wealth, she still tried every means to get close to your father.

Until we returned triumphantly to the capital, when I had already given birth to your eldest brother, Yuan Meng was still infatuated with your father.

For this reason, the Emperor of the South Border specially sent envoys to request that His Late Majesty arrange a marriage between Yuan Meng and your father.

His Late Majesty knew about the Mo Family rules and understood your father’s temperament even better, so he directly rejected the request of the South Border envoys.

Even so, Yuan Meng still didn’t give up. Not long after the South Border envoys returned, she personally came to the capital city of our Da Shun and pestered your father relentlessly.

In the face of such a person, your father and I both felt extremely angry. As a last resort, your father asked His Late Majesty for permission to voluntarily guard the western border.

As he became the border garrison commander, he could naturally bring his family along, so I had always been by his side.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Meng still didn’t give up. She madly used her own blood to raise Gu.

Unfortunately, Yuan Meng was too impatient. When she was casting the Gu, your father saw through it in one glance. In a fit of anger, he beheaded Yuan Meng on the spot.

This incident caused a sensation between the South Border and Da Shun that year. Shao Xin, a young master from the South Border who was in love with Yuan Meng, personally volunteered to attack Da Shun in order to avenge Yuan Meng and behead your father with his own hands.

Unfortunately, whether it was martial arts or military tactics, Shao Xin was no match for your father. When the army of the South Border was defeated and retreated, Shao Xin swore in front of both armies that his only wish in this life was to avenge Yuan Meng and curse the Mo Family to have no descendants left. "

After listening to this story, Mo Jiuye asked solemnly, "Mother, do you mean that this Sir Si Meng is very likely to be that Shao Xin who was in love with Yuan Meng back then?"

Old Lady Mo said lightly, "I've said so much, it's just speculation. Your brothers have all been poisoned by Gu, and the Gu technique originates from the South Border. This makes me inevitably think of this person.

Especially your father's death, which has a lot of similarities with what happened to your brothers."

Mo Jiuye was still young when Lord Mo died in battle. He also only heard the specifics from his elders and older brothers.

He only knew that his father had also been poisoned by the villain from the South Border, and was later captured and had his severed head hung on the city wall.

Now, when he thought about what happened to his brothers carefully, wasn't it exactly the same as what happened to his father?

The Mo brothers couldn't help but clench their fists at the same time.

Mo Chuhan tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and asked, "Third Brother, were you able to find out the true identity of Sir Si Meng on your trip?"

This was the key question that everyone wanted to know. Mo Yunfeng said solemnly,

"I probed in the South Border for months before finally finding the Si Meng Mountain Villa. It was completely different from what I had imagined. Not only was it not magnificent, it looked a little shabby instead."

"Shabby?" Mo Jiuye couldn't help but ask. Indeed, this was not only unexpected to Third Brother, but he also felt a little incredulous.

It was known that those gu raisers from the South Border were very rich. How could they even describe the place where they live as shabby?

Mo Yunfeng nodded, "That's right. It was indeed very shabby, and I searched there for three days but didn't see anyone.

Just when I was about to leave, I suddenly found someone coming out of the mountain villa. I guessed that there must be some kind of secret passage in the mountain villa, otherwise why didn't I find anyone after lingering there for so long?

So I carefully followed that person. He should have gone out to buy supplies. He went to the market to buy some rice and then went back.

I followed him back into the mountain villa again. Perhaps that person had long discovered my existence. When he reached the mountain villa, he deliberately took a roundabout route and finally stopped in a corner.

That person used Gu as soon as he made a move. Fortunately, I dodged it quickly and didn't get hit. Then that person threw several Gu worms at me but I dodged them all. Perhaps realizing that he was no match for me, he scattered a handful of poison powder and fled the scene.

Having suffered such losses before, I instinctively covered my nose and mouth when I saw the poison powder. Taking advantage of this opportunity, that person fled quickly.

I chased him for three full days until I caught him within the territory of Da Shun.

Only through interrogation did I learn that Sir Si Meng had not returned there for six years. Those who had previously sought protection under Sir Si Meng had also gradually left, and now there were only a few gu raisers guarding the mountain villa."

"So the Si Meng Mountain Villa does have secret chambers and the like." Mo Chongyuan said solemnly.

"That's right. I learned from that person that the entrance to the secret chamber of Si Meng Mountain Villa is under a dried-up well. That place is very hidden, no wonder I didn't find anything after searching for so long.

If it wasn't for the thought that my family would worry if I didn't rush back home for the New Year, I would have definitely gone back to check it out." Mo Yunfeng said lightly, "Now my family knows I'm safe. I plan to go back and investigate after the New Year."

Among the brothers, Mo Chuhan had the most impulsive temperament. He stood up and slammed his fist heavily on the table.

"I'll set off for the South Border now and turn the Si Meng Mountain Villa upside down." After speaking, Mo Chuhan had already turned to leave but was stopped solemnly by Old Lady Mo.

"Chuhan, sit down. Things haven't been figured out yet. What are you going to do if you go?

Besides, the people in Si Meng Mountain Villa are all good at gu techniques. Can you be sure you won't get hit again if you go?

When that happens, not only will you not find out anything about your eldest and second brother, but the family will have to try to save you too."

Hearing his mother's words, Mo Chuhan suddenly lost his momentum and reluctantly sat back down.

"Mother, then what should we do? It's hard to finally find a clue. Can we just give up like this?"

Old Lady Mo's eyes swept around and finally settled on He Zhiran.

She had noticed long ago that the brains of her ninth daughter-in-law were much better than those of her sons. At times like this, it was necessary to listen to her opinion.

"Lady He, what do you think about this matter?"

After listening to Third Brother's account, He Zhiran had also been pondering.
