Mu Chen nodded and said softly, "Good boy, you and Mu Ci are already legally married. He is your husband and my most beloved grandson. Now, Grandpa entrusts him to you, okay?"
He glanced at Mu Ci lying on the bed and said slowly, "I don't dare to hope that he can be as healthy as others. As long as he can live peacefully, it will be fine. Don't let me...send him away in old age."
Zhou Shuo was deeply moved and solemnly promised, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely cure my brother. He said he would stay with me forever, and life is very long. He hasn't fulfilled his promise yet, how can he die? Even if he goes to hell, I will pull him back. My master said that as doctors, we are to fight against the god of death!"
Zhou Shuo raised her fist. In her little fist was the priceless Xuejin Pill.
Mu Chen nodded, a smile on his face, "Okay, okay, then Grandpa is relieved."
He gently instructed Liu Ming: "There must be one or two useful people at home, right? Let them come in and help the girl!"
Liu Ming hurriedly called Xiao Ling and another maid in.
Mu Chen watched them get busy before he left with Liu Ming and Lao Jiang.
When they reached the living room outside, Mu Chen's face instantly turned cold: "Mu Ci can run his business so well, but he can't manage a small family? Liu Ming, is this how you take care of him?"
Liu Ming stood with his head bowed: "Grandpa! I'm sorry!"
"Hmph! What good is your apology if my great grandson is gone? From today on, I'll be living here. The girl will take care of Mu Ci, and you will clean up this villa from top to bottom! If there's even the slightest trace of filth, all your life's work will be wasted!"
"Yes! Old man, I understand!" Liu Ming lowered his head, but his voice was extremely firm.
"Go ahead. No matter what you find out, report it immediately." Mu Chen said after a while.
"Yes!" Liu Ming turned around and left quickly.
"Grandpa, I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." Old Jiang didn't speak until Liu Ming came downstairs.
Mu Chen didn't say anything.
Lao Jiang took out the pill Zhou Shuo left for him and handed it to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen carefully took it and looked at it: "Are you sure?"
Lao Jiang nodded and said, "It was the Xuejin Pill I took a picture of back then. Based on my experience, I can confirm it is the real thing. But to be on the safe side, let's have someone test it."
Mu Chen nodded: "Although this girl is a little naive, she knows what she is doing. She left this pill in your hands for us to test it."
Old Jiang agreed: "The eldest young lady's attitude further proves that this medicine is real."
Mu Chen said, "Go and check it out."
Old Jiang put away the pills and said, "It seems that the eldest young lady must have studied under Master Bai Lian. I never thought that our eldest young master would have such an opportunity. There is always a way out!"
Mu Chen's face lit up when he heard this. "Yeah, I didn't expect this ridiculous plan to bring happiness actually brought happiness. It must be God's blessing. However, there are too many coincidences, so I'm afraid things are not that simple. You still have to check this girl's background and find out as much as you can. It's always better to be cautious."
"Yes!" Lao Jiang quickly responded.
"Then here... I'll go and bring your personal belongings over. Liu Ming couldn't possibly be unaware that there's something wrong with the servants here. I think it's probably the eldest young master who won't let him clean up. The eldest young master is disappointed with everyone, so he's living under the public eye out of spite." Lao Jiang carefully excused Liu Ming.
Mu Chen snorted, "Mu Ci is acting recklessly, but he should know his limits. How dangerous is this? The most hateful thing is that someone actually wants to kill Mu Ci. Their intentions deserve to be killed! If I don't do anything about it, he might die one day!"
The more Mu Chen thought about it, the angrier he became. He couldn't help but cover his chest and cough twice.
"Grandpa, please don't be angry, please don't be angry." Lao Jiang hurried forward to comfort Mu Chen.
Mu Chen supported Old Jiang and slowly sat down on the sofa: "I am old and useless. I have been soft-hearted all these years and wanted to give these young people a chance. I didn't expect that those who strive for success would strive too hard, while those who don't strive for success would become more and more evil. If Mu Ci can get better, why should I worry about this? Alas, I really don't know what sinister thing has hurt the Mu family, and retribution has come to Mu Ci, and he is still so young——"
Old Jiang advised, "Grandpa, you can't think like that. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Look at this young mistress now. I think she is a very good one. Young Master, good fortune has come after bad times. Your wish has been fulfilled."
This time Mu Chen didn't say anything. He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes. "You go and do your work first. I'll sit here for a while and wait and see if anything happens to Mu Ci. Oh, by the way, tell Mu Guo to take his wife back."
When talking about his son and daughter-in-law, Mu Chen's tone was indifferent, and his heart was also indifferent, with an indescribable disappointment.
Old Jiang retreated silently.
Having been with the old man for a lifetime, he can sense every emotion of the old man. No one can persuade the father and son.
Old Jiang went downstairs and took a lot of effort to get the Mu Guo couple to leave.
It's easy for Mu Guo to talk. He is busy with official duties and has no time to pretend to be a kind father. Even if he pretends to be a kind father, no one will believe him.
Duan Si didn't gain any money or face today. She knew that the spies she left here were gone from today on. How could she be willing to accept this?
The originally peaceful life, the routine days, were suddenly disrupted by a country girl who came to get married. As Mrs. Mu, as a mother, her authority was greatly challenged. This country girl did not take her seriously at all. How could she bear it?
If her daughter-in-law was Song Nan, how could she be treated like this?
If Mu Ci had not been diagnosed by the doctor that he would not live for more than half a year, she would definitely marry Song Nan as her daughter-in-law. It doesn't matter if this eldest son is not considerate, it will be the same if she marries a considerate daughter-in-law!
But Mu Ci will not live long, and she cannot harm Song Nan, and cannot let the girl she has loved since childhood become a widow at such a young age.
But even so, we can’t let that low-class country girl get away with it!
"No! I want to stay too. I don't trust that girl to take care of Mu Ci! Who knows if she will have any bad intentions?" Duan Si refused to go with Mu Guo.
