Zhou Le said angrily, "Mom! Don't make a fuss. I spent a lot of effort to steal this thing. Can't I keep one pill for myself? I only want one pill, not all of them! Madam may not know how many pills are in here. They treasure this thing so much, it must be extremely valuable. I'm keeping one for ourselves!"
She put the paper bag away, and seeing Shen Yu's timid face, she said disapprovingly: "Mom, don't be so cautious, okay? We didn't do anything wrong!"
She put away the small medicine bottles swiftly. Duan Si pushed the door open and came in. Zhou Shuo and Shen Yu were startled and instinctively covered the medicine bottles on the table. They only breathed a sigh of relief when they saw it was Duan Si.
"Did you get them all?" Duan Si went straight to the small medicine bottle.
Zhou Le hurriedly said, "Yes, Madam, I also put the small medicine bottles you gave me back. If they didn't check every day, they would definitely not find it easily!"
Duan Si was very satisfied. He picked up one of the bottles, opened the cap and smelled it: "Hmm, yes, that's the smell!"
She poured it over, and two pills rolled into her palm: "Huh? Why are there only two?"
Shen Yu and Zhou Le, mother and daughter, were so frightened that they dared not even breathe. They even forgot to breathe.
"Hmph! That damn girl must have secretly given it to Mu Ci again. No wonder Mu Ci looks much better! Hmph! Why would she only give such a good thing to Mu Ci? She married into the Mu family, so this is something of my Mu family!" Duan Si said hatefully, and put the medicine bottle into his bag.
Shen Yu and Zhou Le finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Yu smiled and said, "This child is very selfish. Alas! He is not like our family's upbringing at all. He was taught badly outside."
Duan Si didn't even raise his eyelids, too lazy to pay attention to Shen Yu.
Zhou Le hurriedly pushed the other small medicine bottles towards Duan Si, "Madam, do you want to find a doctor to check what these medicines are for?"
Duan Si snorted coldly, "We have to check, but you can just give the Xuejin Pills to Mu En directly. He has a weak body since he was a child. Don't be fooled by his lively appearance, he is actually weak inside!"
Zhou Le lowered his eyes, not daring to agree, but he couldn't say anything.
Duan Si carefully wrapped the vials and said lazily, "Okay, we've finally completed the mission. You can go back tomorrow."
He spoke in a condescending tone and did not take the mother and daughter seriously.
But Shen Yu and Zhou Lequan didn't care. They were still immersed in the joy of finally completing the task assigned by the second young master, and had a sense of pride in being affirmed.
"Knock knock knock" someone knocked on the door, and all three of them were startled.
Duan Si winked at Zhou Le, and Zhou Le went to open the door tremblingly, and it was Song Nan.
Song Nan smiled and said, "What are you doing? Mu Ci and Zhou Shuo are back."
Zhou Le secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Duans asked nervously, "Did they say anything?"
Song Nan looked puzzled. "No, he looked quite happy. He must have come back from the Shen family again."
Duan Si's face darkened. "It's the Shen family again! It's clearly Mu En who married into the Shen family, but they're getting so involved!"
When Zhou Le heard the Shen family, his face turned pale.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Auntie, why don't we ask Mu En to invite Miss Shen to our house to play? It can also enhance some of their relationship, so that we don't have to visit the Shen family and appear to be fawning."
"This is a good idea!" Duan Si agreed immediately.
Then he sighed, "Only our Song Nan truly treats Mu En as his younger brother and considers him in everything! Humph! Mu Ci, as a brother - I really don't know what kind of sin he has committed!"
Song Nan was used to it and just smiled without saying anything.
Shen Yu hurriedly said: "Madam treats Miss Song Nan like her own daughter, and Miss Song Nan is also a sensible person."
Even Zhou Le frowned when he heard this.
Duan Si thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. Don't rush back. Once we invite the Shen family over to play, you can join in the fun. I don't want to invite other families to join in the fun."
Zhou Le's eyes lit up.
Song Nan said, "Auntie, go out and see Mu Ci."
Duan Si looked unhappy, but he had to go out. It would be bad if Mu Ci noticed something strange now.
Zhou Shuo was quite surprised that Duan Si did not cause trouble today.
Duan Si directly announced that she wanted to invite people from the Shen family to come and play.
"Why did you come to my house?"
"OK!"
Mu Ci and Zhou Shuo spoke in unison. They looked at each other and didn't say anything else.
Duan Si was very happy about their different opinions. She thought Zhou Shuo was compromising with her, so she readily agreed. She glanced at Mu Ci and said, "As brother and sister-in-law, you should think about your brother. Song Nan can think so carefully about Mu En, how can you remain indifferent?"
Mu Ci didn't say anything. She looked at her mother with sadness in her heart. She tried everything she could to help Mu En, but she didn't expect that every step she took would be unearned for Mu En, and a debt that she had to pay back double.
He watched them do evil things, but was powerless to stop them, so he just let them do what they wanted.
Suddenly he saw Xiaobai standing in the corner, winking at him desperately, and he understood a little bit.
He looked at Song Nan, "Zhou Shuo doesn't understand these things. Song Nan, you come and help mother with everything. If you need anything, you can ask Mrs. Tian to buy it for you. Thank you for your hard work."
Song Nan had a calm smile on his face. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Mu Ci pulled Zhou Shuo upstairs. Zhou Shuo looked back at Song Nan, who gave her a provocative look.
Zhou Shuo felt a little uncomfortable.
Mu Ci returned to the bedroom and stood motionless in front of the medicine cabinet.
Zhou Shuo followed curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mu Ci pointed to the small bottle in the medicine cabinet and said, "Take a look and see if there is anything wrong."
Zhou Shuo looked closely and opened the cabinet in surprise: "This, this, doesn't seem right!"
She reached out and opened a bottle cap, exclaiming, "This isn't my medicine!"
Mu Ci reached out and covered her mouth, "Shh!"
Zhou Shuo's eyes widened, holding the small porcelain bottle in his hand, and he said anxiously: "Brother Shitou, there's a thief in the house! This is not good, we have to call the police. Those medicines can't be taken casually, or they will kill you!"
Zhou Shuo was so anxious that he jumped up and down. Human lives were at stake! What was going on?
Mu Ci pulled her hand and walked towards the inner room. Zhou Shuo wanted to break free from his hand, but couldn't.
"Follow me." Mu Ci said.
There was an ordinary table lamp on the bedside table in the inner room. Every night when Zhou Shuo fell asleep, Mu Ci would turn off the lamp. Now, Mu Ci gently touched the light switch, and a secret compartment appeared behind the lamp.
"Ah!" Zhou Shuo was startled.
In the bright light, Zhou Shuo saw her precious little bottles neatly placed inside.
"I asked you if you could still identify those medicines if they were in a different location. Now they are here, you can only identify them yourself. However, you can't put them back in the medicine cabinet." Mu Ci pinched Zhou Shuo's little nose and said with a relaxed smile.
Zhou Shuo reached out and took a bottle, opened it and smelled it, then breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared! I thought it was stolen!"
