Chapter 245 Suspicion

"Regent, Madam is fine for now. You can go back and rest." Hu Mei said.

Mu Xingci looked at his mother's miserable expression and couldn't bear to leave just like that.

"My dear, I am worried about my mother being like this. Why don't you go back to your room and rest first? I will go back when my mother is better."

"Good! When an elderly person is sick, they most want to see their children around them. This is very beneficial for their recovery." Yun Wansheng said understandingly.

Hearing this, Mu Xingci couldn't hide the love in his eyes, "My dear wife, I will let you go home."

"Well! I'll go back first." Yun Wansheng said with a slight smile on her lips, then turned and left.

Mu Xingci watched her leave with reluctance in his eyes, then walked to the bed and looked at his mother who was sleeping in a daze.

At this moment, she seemed to be sleeping restlessly, and no one knew what she was mumbling.

Seeing his mother in so much pain, he, as a son, felt very distressed.

"Regent, Madam may be well soon, you can go back! I am your servant here." Hu Mei said standing aside.

"No, I want to spend more time with her." Mu Xingci refused without even looking back.

Hu Mei looked at the back of the man in front of her, and a faint light flashed in her eyes.

Sure enough, after waiting for a cup of tea, Mrs. Wu woke up. When she saw Mu Xingci standing by the bed, there was relief in her eyes.

"Xingci, why are you still here?" His voice was weak.

"Mom, are you still feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Mu Xingci did not answer her, but was concerned about her health.

"Mom is feeling much better now. What time is it now?"

"It's not too late, Mom? Do you want some water?"

"Um!"

The discerning maid poured the tea and handed it to Mu Xingci.

After the maid helped the person up, Mu Xingci fed Wu water with a spoon.

Wu was pleased with her son's filial piety. After drinking some tea, she said, "Xingci, I'm fine now. You can go back and rest! I want to sleep a little longer."

"I won't leave until my mother goes to bed." Mu Xingci handed the teacup to another maid.

"No need, you should go back quickly! Wansheng is pregnant and needs your company. You don't have to worry about me here. Look, I'm fine, aren't I?" Mrs. Wu pushed his arm to drive him away.

Seeing that she looked much better, Mu Xingci stopped insisting: "Then I'll go back, and you should go to bed early."

"I understand!" Mrs. Wu said with a long laugh.

Mu Xingci stood up and looked at Hu Mei: "You take good care of her. If anything happens, send someone to call me."

"Yes! I'll remember that." Hu Mei said respectfully.

Mu Xingci left in a noble manner. Hu Mei raised her head and looked at the empty door, a glimmer in her eyes.

Yun Wansheng was still asleep at this time. She suddenly realized that she had become accustomed to the presence of that bastard. His sudden absence made her a little insomniac.

Just as I was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, I suddenly heard the door open, followed by the sound of light footsteps.

When Yun Wansheng saw him coming back, she was about to lift the curtain and call him, but suddenly changed her mind.

In the dim light, Mu Xingci carefully approached the bed. When he was about to lift the bed curtain, it was suddenly opened and a dark shadow rushed out: "Hey!"

This sudden scene frightened Mu Xingci, who was completely unprepared.

The man's reaction was exactly what Yun Wansheng wanted to see. Seeing that he was frightened by her, she smiled from ear to ear and hugged him: "So my husband is such a coward?"

Mu Xingci felt the woman offering herself to him, and naturally hugged her, then kissed the mischievous woman fiercely.

Yun Wansheng was kissed by the man, and her hands couldn't help but hug his waist tightly, responding to the dog man she had been thinking about for a long time.

The two hugged and kissed for a while before Mu Xingci let her go: "If you dare to scare me again next time, I will eat you." His tone seemed bad.

"Are you willing to do that?" Yun Wansheng put her hands on the man's neck and smiled softly.

"I'm willing to give it to you! You'll be so hungry that you won't be able to get out of bed." The man hugged the woman tightly, letting her feel his love.

Yun Wansheng naturally felt the man's desire, but she didn't mention it in that direction. Instead, she asked with concern: "Is mother-in-law feeling better?"

"Much better. She asked me to come back." Mu Xingci said as he let her go, then took off his clothes and got into bed.

After the two of them lay down, Mu Xingci hugged the woman in his arms: "Ah! Why did my mother suddenly become like this? She usually looks quite healthy."

"Husband, since things have come to this, we can only be filial children. We can't help her with her illness even if we want to." Yun Wansheng advised.

"I understand. It's just that this disease came too suddenly, and it's a little hard for me to accept."

Yun Wansheng listened to the man's sorrow, her eyes deepening slightly. "Husband, how is the medical skill of Imperial Physician Su?"

"Don't underestimate his young age; he is the most skilled doctor in the Imperial Hospital. He has his own unique approach to treating both internal and external injuries. If it weren't for him, the late emperor would have died two years ago."

"If his medical skills are so good, then why couldn't he even cure your mother's heart disease, but was instead easily cured by a folk female doctor?"

Mu Xingci's eyes paused when he heard this: "Do you suspect that female doctor?"

"A little bit. I just think it's such a coincidence. I've been married for almost three months. If it weren't for what happened today, I wouldn't have known that my mother-in-law has a heart disease.

This shows that your mother-in-law's heart disease does not often occur. If it was as serious as it is today, you would not let her go to Guanshan Temple to burn incense without worry.

Now she suddenly fell ill and was saved by the female doctor. Then the next day, my mother-in-law fell ill again, so we had no choice but to ask Hu Mei to come.

Don’t you think this is suspicious? Besides, Hu Mei is still so young, I don’t believe her medical skills can be better than Su Yuyi’s?”

The more Mu Xingci listened, the more it made sense. He was really worried and confused. He was only worried about his mother's safety and ignored this point.

No one knows Su Imperial Physician's medical skills better than herself. If he can't cure the disease, how can that young woman wake him up so easily?

"I'm going out for a while. You go to sleep." After thinking everything through, how could he still sleep?

Yun Wansheng watched him hurriedly putting on his clothes and reminded him, "Send someone to her clinic to arrest her first. Take her under control first."

Mu Xingci tied a belt in his hand and looked up at the woman sitting on the bed: "Listen to my wife." After saying this with a faint smile, he went out.

Yun Wansheng lay down again with a restless heart, hoping that things would be as she thought, and that Wu would be fine.

After Mu Xing resigned, he ordered someone to gather people. One team went out of the house to arrest people, and a small team came to Wu's yard.

The sound of chaotic footsteps outside the door woke Hu Mei, who was resting on the couch. Before she could get up, the dormitory door was pushed open by the visitor.
