Chapter 496 It’s Okay Not to Be an Official

Mrs. He used to be very satisfied with her life, but since she came to the Northwest, she found that she had lived half her life and had just begun to experience the joy of life.

Perhaps, this kind of life can only continue forever if I stay in the Northwest.

As a son, He Ziming could naturally see some of his mother's thoughts.

If his mother disagreed with what he said today, she would have refuted it long ago. However, today his mother did not refute it immediately. Not only that, she seemed to have listened to what his sister said.

As the saying goes, strike the iron while it's hot. He Ziming felt that the temperature was about right, so he spoke:

"Mom, what's wrong with you saying your son stays in the northwest? Let's build a yard like Ranran's and raise some poultry and livestock. Not only that, I'll be close to Ranran, and we can look after each other."

Mrs. He had to admit that her son's words touched her heart.

"Actually, Mom also wants to stay in the Northwest, but your dad..."

She didn't need to explain it too clearly, as both the brother and sister understood what their mother meant.

"Mom, Dad once said that after my career is stable and I can support the He family, I plan to retire and return home, and take you with me to live an ordinary life and enjoy my old age.

The situation in the court is unstable now, and my father is neutral. This will inevitably offend some superiors. Instead of living in dire straits in the capital, it is better to persuade him to resign from his official position as soon as possible.

As the saying goes, "A free man is free from official burdens." Our family should stay away from those troubled places and live a comfortable life.

And my son has medical skills. Don’t be fooled by the fact that everyone calls me a gynecological expert. That’s because I mainly studied gynecological medicine. Despite this, I have also learned other aspects of medicine. Although I dare not say that I am proficient in them, ordinary doctors still cannot compare with me.

I can guarantee that you two old people will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

"Mom, I think my eldest brother is right. Emperor Shunwu is incompetent, his son is no pushover, and the Empress and her party are causing chaos in the government. In this situation, it's better for Dad to quit his job!"

In her eyes, power and wealth are not as important as the safety of her family.

What's more, she understood her father's temper. He was too upright and would easily offend others if he encountered something he didn't like.

Instead of trying to survive in the corrupt court, it is better to live a comfortable life in the fields.

Even if her eldest brother cannot guarantee that her parents will have a worry-free life in the future, she can definitely ensure that they have enough food and clothing.

She still has such a magical space. When the time comes, she can buy some small gadgets for her parents to relieve their boredom and ensure that their future life will not be boring.

"Ranran, you can't say this kind of thing casually."

Mrs. He was timid after all. Although she agreed with her daughter's statement, she thought that speaking out such rebellious words could easily bring about fatal disaster.

"Mom, there are no outsiders here, I am just speaking my true thoughts.

If you have no objection, I plan to arrange the family home in a few days and then leave for the capital with my husband. I will talk to my father about this in person, and it will depend on his own opinion on what to do.

You and Big Brother don't have to rush back. Wait until you hear news about my father."

Mrs. He's thoughts turned very quickly. She was just struggling over whether to persuade her husband to resign, but now her attention has shifted to He Zhiran's plan to go to Beijing.

"Ranran, you are going to the capital?" This was totally beyond her expectations.

Everyone knows how sensitive the Mo family's identity is in the capital. Moreover, they are now in exile and are not allowed to leave Yuncheng.

She knew that Mo Jiuye had gone to the capital some time ago because the county magistrate was their son-in-law.

This time, if the couple were to go to the capital, if they were discovered by someone with ulterior motives and reported to the court, they would be in danger of death.

He Zhiran had not originally planned to tell her mother about going to the capital. She thought that her mother had been away from Beijing for so long, and would leave when her child was one month old. Then she and Mo Jiuye would go to the capital without anyone knowing.

Unexpectedly, not only did my mother and brother have no intention of leaving, but from what they said, it seemed that they had the idea of ​​settling down in the northwest.

She sincerely wanted her family to live in the northwest for a long time, especially since the situation in the court was unstable and she did not want her father to get involved.

But if that's the case, she and Mo Jiuye will have to give an explanation to her mother and elder brother when they leave here for the capital.

"Mother, to be honest, the current situation of the Mo Clan is not as optimistic as it seems. Big Brother knows this best. The Queen has adopted the Fourth Prince. Although my Mo Clan no longer participates in court affairs, the Queen has always been suspicious. She will not keep anyone alive who may hinder the Fourth Prince's path to becoming emperor.

My husband and I went to the capital this time with the intention of taking the initiative. As the saying goes, if the enemy does not attack me, I will not attack him. When it comes to the safety and interests of the Mohist School, we can't just stay here and passively take the beating."

Although Mrs. He is not as smart and courageous as Mrs. Mo, she is not a country woman who knows nothing.

"I know everything you said, I'm just worried that you might be in danger."

"Mother, I think Ranran and her husband did the right thing by coming to the capital. The Mohist family is a loyal and valiant family. The emperor believed the slander and wronged them. If there are still people who do not want their family to live in peace in the northwest, then it is absolutely necessary for them to take such a risk.

The so-called preemptive strike means to nip any possible danger in the bud."

He Ziming strongly supported their idea of ​​going to Beijing, but he did not agree with his sister who was weak and helpless to go.

"Ranran, it's right for the Mo family to go to the capital, but I don't agree with you going with them." He has been weak since childhood, and now he is trying to show off his strength by going to the capital with them. What's more, the two children are still so young.

Mrs. He now understood the necessity for the Mo family to come to Beijing. If they wanted to live here peacefully, they had to resolve any possible crises.

"Ran Ran, your elder brother is right. As a woman, it is not appropriate for you to participate in such things."

He Zhiran knew that if she said she wanted to go to the capital, she would be opposed.

She has learned to be smart in this kind of thing and cannot make excuses. Anyway, she has made it clear what she wants to express. When the time comes, she will just secretly leave with Mo Jiuye.

"Mom, let's continue discussing whether my father should resign from his post."

Mrs. He thought she had listened to her and her son's advice.

"That's fine. It's better to explain your brother and I's intentions to your father in person than to write a letter and get caught."

"In that case, mother and brother can rest assured to stay here. I will talk to my husband and buy a piece of land nearby to build you a courtyard similar to the Mo family's."

He Ziming was very honest. When he heard that a courtyard similar to the Mo family's was going to be built, he immediately took out a few silver bills from his pocket and handed them to her.
