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

Chapter 296

He Zhiran saw that Mo Jiuye was tired after working hard for so many days without properly resting after returning home, and felt distressed as he helped massage her shoulders.

"Now that you're pregnant, you shouldn't overexert yourself. If there's anything that needs doing in the future, let me handle it."

What he meant was that even if he didn't understand medicine, he could still follow instructions. This way, his wife would feel a bit more relaxed.

While enjoying her husband's thoughtfulness, He Zhiran said, "I've basically figured out the situations of those poisoned guards. I'm just waiting for a good chance to detoxify them."

Mo Jiuye was anxious to detoxify his subordinates, but was even more concerned about his wife.

"There's no rush with this matter. Wait until you've rested well and feel better before doing anything."

He Zhiran knew he had been quite worried about her throughout the journey, and had felt very guilty the whole time.

"I'm feeling alright now, much more relaxed than when we were traveling. After a good night's sleep tonight, I'll be fine tomorrow.

Also, I've finished making the antidotes for my sisters-in-law too. I'll find an opportunity to deliver them."

The more Mo Jiuye listened, the more distressed he felt. He had thought his wife was sleeping in the room and didn't even dare disturb her. But who knew that in just an afternoon, she had done so many things, and every task was for the Mo Family's benefit.

He gently pulled her into his embrace and gently patted her back.

"Ranran, I, Mo Jiuye, do not know what virtues or abilities I possess that allowed me to marry such a good wife as you."

"We're all one family. And now that I'm carrying your child, isn't it a bit distant of you to stand on ceremony with me?" Seeing Mo Jiuye get emotional, He Zhiran didn't know how to respond.

Mo Jiuye hugged her and nodded. "Mm, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

...You've given me the most precious thing a woman has, and are even willing bear children for me. I will spend my whole life pampering you to make up for it.

These were Mo Jiuye's inner thoughts, but he didn't say them aloud to avoid his wife accusing him of being distant again.

The two of them just held each other, neither willing to be the first to let go.

At this moment, the door was rapped on inopportunely.

"Ninth brother, ninth sister-in-law, have you rested well? It's time for dinner."

Hearing eighth sister-in-law's voice, Mo Jiuye reluctantly released his wife...

After dinner, He Zhiran went to check on Mo Xiuyan and Mo Yuanze's conditions before going back to rest.

That night, she could finally comfortably rest inside her space.

After being away in Nanjiang for so long, this was He Zhiran's first time sleeping so soundly. She woke up early the next morning.

She and Mo Jiuye were in no hurry to leave the space. Instead, they studied again the antidote for detoxifying those poisoned guards.

In addition to the medicinal essence extracted from the gu worm, He Zhiran still needed to purchase other medicinal materials from Taobao Treasure.

What surprised her was that one very common medicinal material was not being sold in Taobao Treasure.

Moreover, this medicinal herb had been passed down from the West in later generations, so it would definitely not be found in the Da Shun Dynasty.

This gave He Zhiran a headache.

As she sat holding her phone pondering, the avatar of Little Collector shook a few times.

He Zhiran decisively tapped open the chat box to check.

[I'm truly very grateful to you this time. Not only did you resolve my urgent problem, you also successfully caught the thief.]

He Zhiran was currently worried about the issue of medicinal materials. She only briefly registered the good news brought by Little Collector.

[I'm glad it's resolved.]

Seeing her response less enthusiastic than usual, Little Collector asked, [Did something come up over there?]

It's said that pregnant women lose their edge for three years. And He Zhiran had only just gotten pregnant, so her mind wasn't as sharp.

Seeing Little Collector's inquiry, she suddenly slapped her forehead.

There was a modern person right here. How could she have not thought of asking him for help?

[I urgently need a medicinal material called crane bamboo. Back when I was in the modern times it was very commonly seen. I just searched all over Taobao Treasure but couldn't find any. It would be best if you could help me get some. Of course, I would provide adequate compensation.]

Judging by Little Collector's occupation, he wasn't lacking in money. But she had plenty of nice things that could certainly satisfy him.

Little Collector: [You might not know, but over ten days ago crane bamboo was explicitly banned from sale. They said the mercury content in crane bamboo is too high and extremely harmful to the human body.]

[I see, no wonder I can't buy any on Taobao Treasure. Do you have a way to get your hands on it?] He Zhiran already knew earlier that crane bamboo contained some bad components. But its efficacy was something no other medicinal herb could compare to.

For instance, mercury can reduce lead. Those poisoned guards had very high lead levels in their bodies after testing. Therefore, crane bamboo was essential to counteract it.

Little Collector: [No problem. I have a friend in the medicinal materials business. After the crane bamboo ban, he secretly kept some stock. I can help you get it from him!]

[Wonderful, please help me acquire the crane bamboo as soon as possible. I'll give you a nice surprise too.] He Zhiran happily replied.

As long as she could get the crane bamboo, she could start configuring the antidote.

Closing her phone, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye washed up and left the space together with their buns.

She had gotten used to getting up early to help her family prepare breakfast with her sisters-in-law. Today was no exception as she headed straight for the kitchen.

But she had just entered when eldest sister-in-law chased her back out.

"Ninth sister-in-law, just focus on nurturing the fetus from now on. Leave the cooking to us."

Second sister-in-law also chimed in, "That's right. From now on, you're not allowed in here anymore. Giving birth to a big fat son for the Mo family is most important."

The sisters-in-law were even more adamant than each other, leaving He Zhiran no choice but to return to her room.

Just like that, days passed where food and clothing came without her lifting a finger. After three days, Mo Jiuye finally finished arranging the household affairs and used the excuse of taking her along into the city.

The purpose of their trip to Yun City was nothing more than to pave the way for the antidotes for her sisters-in-law. There was no real business to handle.

The previous mule cart had been switched out for a stately horse carriage. The carriage slowly made its way through Yun City's streets.

They had just entered a prosperous commercial area when the carriage was forced to stop.

He Zhiran opened the carriage door and looked outside while asking, "What happened?"

Mo Jiuye pointed at the crowd ahead.

"It looks like there's a fight happening over there."

A fight?

Meng Huaining had already brought such good order to Yun City. And with eighth brother's iron fist, who still dared make trouble openly fighting?

Out of curiosity, He Zhiran wanted to go take a look at the front.

Knowing his obstruction would be futile, Mo Jiuye hurriedly tethered the carriage at the roadside and came over protectively.

There were no small number of onlookers. The circle they formed was quite large. From the gaps, one could see the situation inside.

A ragged man was being dragged out of the circle by his hair in the grip of two thuggish figures, who kept cursing and swearing.

"You worthless self-selling slave, you actually dared try to run away. I'll make you regret even being alive!"

As he spoke, the thug's leather whip lashed fiercely across that person.
