It's easy to see that the Mu family head and his wife have a really good relationship, which is why they were able to raise a child like Mu Bai, who would brave danger and poisonous lands to save his mother's life.
The elders were equally excited. After all, the patriarch was getting thinner and thinner because of his wife's situation, and he had no interest in managing the family affairs. This was not a good thing, especially since the Shi family was watching them with hostility.
“I said my mother’s illness can be cured,” Mu Bai pulled Dongfang Mian over. “This is a doctor I specially invited for my mother. As long as Sister Mian is willing to take action, my mother’s illness will definitely be cured.”
The Mu family head and several elders then took a closer look at the people who had followed Mu Bai in: a young and beautiful girl, an ordinary-looking man, and two tiger cubs.
To be honest, this strange combination looks like... a scam no matter how you look at it.
“Bai’er, your mother’s illness was treated by an Emperor-level physician who is an elder in the Physicians’ Guild, just the other day, but there is still no improvement. Speaking of which, where have you been these days? I haven’t been able to find you.” The head of the Mu family said.
"Uh... well, I heard that my mother's illness is caused by poisoning and requires fighting poison with poison, so..." Mu Bai said hesitantly.
“That’s utter nonsense. I know your mother’s illness well. Although I’ve never seen it before and don’t know how to treat it, it’s definitely not poisoning. By the way, what did you say, so what?” said the head of the Mu family.
"So I went to the Poisonous Swamp Forest. I heard that the Poison Mother there could cure my mother's poison, so I wanted to catch her and bring her back," Mu Bai said softly.
"Nonsense! Even poison masters wouldn't dare to set foot in such a poisonous place easily. How could a child like you go there? You're lucky you didn't lose your life there," the Mu family head roared.
"Since it's so dangerous, why did you send your clansmen there to cause trouble for the Shi family?" Mu Bai said stubbornly.
"You know nothing!" The head of the Mu family swore, a rare occurrence for him.
Several elders quickly tried to persuade him, and also criticized and educated Mu Bai for his behavior:
"Young Master, how can you speak to the Patriarch like that? The Patriarch is only doing this for your own good."
"That's right. As the future head of the Mu family, you must prioritize the overall situation in your actions. How could you casually do something so dangerous?"
"We know you're concerned about the mistress's condition, but this isn't something a child like you can handle."
"..."
The elders started talking all at once, and Mu Bai's aggrieved tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
Seeing him like this, the head of the Mu family couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. He pulled him to his side and said earnestly, "Bai'er, I know you're worried about your mother, and I am too, but your mother and I are just as worried about you. You are our only child. If something happens to you, even if your mother recovers, how will your father and mother live in the future?"
"Father!" Mu Bai finally couldn't help but throw himself into the arms of the Mu family head and burst into tears. Several elders couldn't help but have tears in their eyes when they saw this scene. Such a good family, why did the family head's wife have to get sick?
In this atmosphere, a cool voice rang out: "Excuse me, do you need any more patient treatment here?"
Mu Bai then realized that she had neglected Dongfang Mian for a moment, and hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, yes, Sister Mian, I'll take you to see my mother right away."
Just as they were about to set off, the head of the Mu family stopped them, saying, "Wait a moment."
