Chapter 23 Pretending to be sick
[See, I knew he would bring up the topic of needing money for medical treatment!]
[Senior Sister Du, please be more careful! ]
Mo Jiuwei was not surprised at all, she was just worried about Du Yue's reaction.
"Meng Zhu." Du Yue looked up at him. "Is the alchemist you found reliable? He has been treating my aunt for a long time, but my aunt's illness has not been cured, and the cost is increasing..."
"Yueyue, how can you say that? She's my mother! Even if she can't be cured, she has to be cured. I can't just abandon her!" Meng Zhu's face changed color.
"Don't be angry, that's not what I meant..."
"What do you mean!"
Du Yue was stunned for a moment. "I just wanted to ask my aunt to find another alchemist. For example, the alchemist Ou from Qingfang Street has a very good reputation, and the medicines he prescribes are all relatively cheap..."
Meng Zhu softened his attitude, "So that's what you wanted to say."
"What else do you think I mean? Your reaction just now was too strong. Do you think I don't care about my aunt and am advising you to give up treating her?!" Du Yue was also angry.
"I misunderstood, Yueyue. I know you are definitely not that kind of person. Don't take it to heart." Meng Zhu comforted softly.
[Haha, of course he reacted strongly, because his mother is not sick at all! ]
[You suddenly said that you wanted to ask an alchemist you knew to treat his mother, so of course he was scared, afraid that he would be discovered.]
[The reason they pretended to be sick from beginning to end was to cheat people out of money. ]
[It's not just Sister Du. Mother and son have used this trick to deceive many women. It's a pity that no one has seen through their trick! ]
Du Yue's expression, which had just improved, suddenly froze and his eyes widened in disbelief.
He is not sick, but pretending to be sick?!
How is this possible!
The people from the Xianlai Sect also looked at each other in shock.
My goodness, the mother and son pretended to be sick to gain the trust and sympathy of the women, and then defrauded them of money? !
What a dirty trick!
If Junior Sister Jiuwei hadn't said this, they would never have believed it.
"Yueyue?" Meng Zhu saw that Du Yue looked unhappy and didn't say anything, so she thought she was still angry, so she continued to coax her patiently, "It's all my fault. If you are angry, then hit me. Don't get yourself hurt by being angry."
If it were usual, Du Yue might have glared at him and said, "Who wants to hit you?", and then the two of them would have chatted and laughed and moved on from the matter.
But now she stretched out her hand and punched Meng Zhu right in the chest!
Meng Zhu was caught off guard, and he groaned, covering his chest and staring at her in astonishment, "Yueyue, you..."
"Hit me if you want. Do you think I really don't dare to hit you?" Du Yue said coldly, expressionless.
She did not miss the anger in Meng Zhu's eyes when he was beaten, and he subconsciously raised his right hand, but finally put it down again.
"I've already beaten you, so shouldn't you forgive me?" Meng Zhu held Du Yue's hand and smiled again, "My mother said a few days ago that she missed you very much. If she knew that I made you angry, she would definitely beat me again when I go back."
[Tsk, he's talking about his mother again. He's afraid he can't change the subject.]
Du Yue resisted the urge to shake off his hand, and suddenly said, "Aunt misses me? How about this, I'll go with you to visit her, and ask Master Ou Dan to take a look at her, that's also good..."
“No need!”
Meng Zhu suddenly interrupted Du Yue.
Du Yue pursed her lips and looked at Meng Zhu steadily, not missing the panic in his eyes.
[He is anxious, he is anxious! ]
[His mother is currently living in his and Chu Xin's home. If he brings Senior Sister Du home, wouldn't that be a bummer?]
When Meng Zhu saw Du Yue's expression, he realized that he seemed to have overreacted.
"I, what I mean is, I know you are busy with your cultivation, and my home is far away. It would take too much time for you to go there with me, and I can't bear it. If you really miss her, then just do your best to show your affection. I will convey your message when I go back." Meng Zhu explained anxiously.
[Shameless, what do you mean by "putting all my heart into this?" Isn't it because Senior Sister Du didn't respond that I couldn't wait any longer and asked for it? ]
Perhaps Du Yue's reaction today was different from what Meng Zhu expected, and his crazy suggestions had very poor effects, so he became anxious.
Since Du Yue didn't give the money on her own initiative, he had to guide her to give it.
"You're right. I should do my best." Du Yue took out a handkerchief. "This is a new one I got. It's soft and delicate. Didn't you say that your aunt is seriously ill and drools a lot? This handkerchief is perfect for her."
Having said that, he handed it over with a smile.
Meng Zhu looked at the handkerchief, which was made of good material but was obviously just an ordinary thing and not worth a few crystals at all, and his face suddenly turned dark.
He waited for a while, but found that Du Yue only took out a handkerchief, and there was no other movement.
"That's it?" he couldn't help but ask.
Du Yue was puzzled. "Yes, you know I don't have much on hand. This is already a rare good thing. Besides, isn't it a gift from my heart? Isn't this okay?"
Meng Zhu cursed in his heart, but took it with a touched look on his face, "You are right, it is very beautiful, my mother will definitely praise you when she sees it...but my mother's illness..."
"Please stay with your aunt more. If there is any need, please ask Master Ou Dan to come over. I believe that your kindness will be rewarded and you will be safe." Du Yue said softly and comfortingly.
Good deeds will be rewarded with good, and evil deeds will naturally be punished with evil!
Meng Zhu: ...
[Hahaha, Senior Sister Du is awesome.]
[Not bad, not bad. Just don’t respond to his words and don’t fall into his trap. Just wait and see how he continues to sing! ]
Meng Zhu couldn't stay any longer. He knew that today's mission had not been successful and he couldn't stay any longer, so he found an excuse and left Xianlai Sect alone, saying that he would come back to see Du Yue in a few days.
As soon as he left, the people from the Xianlai Sect stood up one by one, exhorting with anger on their faces -
"Junior Sister Du, this Meng Zhu is not a good match, you should separate from him as soon as possible!"
"That's right, I think this guy has bad intentions, he must be trying to cheat you out of your money!"
"You want to go to his house but he won't let you. There's obviously something fishy going on. Maybe he has another beautiful wife at home!"
"I've already said that he's not a good man. You've used a lot of crystals to help him over the years. I'm afraid all that money has gone to waste."
"Senior Sister Du, you are so outstanding, let's change someone else."
[Yes, they are absolutely right! ]
[That's just a scam, and he does have a beautiful wife at home.]
[Feed the dog, forget it, don't insult the dog, our Spot is much more conscientious than him! ]
The Dalmatian that we brought back to the sect that day was very sensible. He followed everyone around obediently and was very friendly. Occasionally, when someone came to visit, he would bark a few times early to remind them.
