After hearing her words, the excited Nanny Lan gradually calmed down.
She concealed the sadness on her face, and her whole state once again returned to the momentum she had when she was the boss beside Madam Leng.
"You are right, no matter what, the uncle is always the uncle.
This is a difficult matter, but with the chaos outside of Xilin County, the Second Young Master and his friends cannot wander around. They must stay with the young lady, which is the safest place."
"When the eldest lady found out about the Leng family, how did the son-in-law react?"
Chaoge wanted to confirm it, but Nanny Lan's expression suddenly became more serious.
"It is true that the son-in-law is good to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady also asked the son-in-law to help her and find a way to rescue the master and his wife.
But this kind of thing involves a lot.
My son-in-law is just a small seventh-rank county magistrate. How can his arms reach that far?
"At this time, the Leng family was in trouble, and it was fortunate that the uncle did not implicate him. The uncle was helpless and did not feel any disdain for the young lady. This was the only comforting thing."
Chaoge heaved a sigh of relief when he heard what Nanny Lan said.
"What is your character, uncle?"
Seeing the little pigeon being so cautious, Nanny Lan withdrew her thoughts and looked at her with a complicated look in her eyes.
“If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I really wouldn’t have believed that you were the second-class maid Xiao Pigeon in the mansion.
At that time, you were honest, did your job well, and never talked much.
I didn't expect that after encountering the incident, you would be so calm, careful and cautious.
At first, I was shortsighted.
Madam was right in entrusting the young masters and young ladies to you.
Don't worry, my son-in-law is a good person.
He is a good official with a sense of responsibility and justice.
I have been an official here for two years and I am deeply loved by the people. I have also done many practical things for the people. Unlike many officials who are hypocritical and cunning, I am a person who is trustworthy. "
The original owner had only met this son-in-law once when Leng Qianrou got married. After hearing Nanny Lan's evaluation, she felt much more relieved.
"That's good. At least you dare to be honest."
“No, I can’t confess!
Even if the son-in-law is a good person, there are many people in the backyard of the county government, and some of them are bound to have bad intentions, so the identities of the three young ladies must not be revealed.
I have already made up my mind about this matter. Don't worry, little pigeon. I will protect the three young masters even if it costs me my life.
I'm going to look for the lady now, otherwise the son-in-law will have to go back to his room later, you wait here first."
Hearing what Nanny Lan said, Chaoge understood what she meant, but he couldn't help but admire Nanny Lan's loyalty to Madam Leng, and even more so her foresight.
After Nanny Lan left, Chaoge felt very nervous. She put on her veil and began to wait in agony.
In a remote corner of Xilin County, a man who had taken a medicinal bath for several days slowly opened his eyes.
The light in front of his eyes was dim, his body was weak and powerless, and his pupils flashed a cold light on his pale and bloodless face.
"Master! You, you finally woke up!"
Mo Yan's voice was heavily nasal. Looking at the man who opened his eyes, his voice trembled with excitement. He almost couldn't help but reach out and hold his master's hand.
But when he stretched out his hand halfway, he suddenly remembered that his master didn't like others touching his body, so he quickly retracted his hand.
"Oh, that's a good thing.
Why are you crying?
This time, thanks to the secret guards, we were able to retrieve the gallbladder of a century-old green python for your master.
If it weren't for the snake gall, your master would have taken at least ten days to wake up."
Dong Jiu, who was in the outer room, heard Mo Yan's excited voice, jumped up from the bed and rushed into the inner room.
Without waiting for the man on the bed to speak, Dong Jiu's fair and slender fingers had already rested on his pulse and said jokingly.
"How is Doctor Dong? Stop joking and check our master's pulse.
Since you said that the snake gall of the green python is of top quality, then has the poison in the master's body been almost cleared?"
"Don't talk, your noisy voice disturbs me."
Dong Jiu could speak for himself, but he just didn't want to hear Mo Yan's voice.
After a long while, he withdrew his hand and tucked the quilt for the man on the bed: "Well, it seems that the snake gall has indeed played a significant role.
But the remaining poison has not been completely eliminated. However, you don’t need to take the medicinal bath for the remaining twenty days. Just take the detoxification medicine I prepared.”
Hearing Dong Jiu's words, Mo Yan cried with joy!
A grown man actually burst into tears without any shame.
That medicinal bath was not for humans at all. Even though their master was unconscious, every time he took the bath, his brows were furrowed in pain, which showed how torturous it was.
And his master was not a hypocritical person, and even he could not stand it, so the medicinal bath must have been taken by the overbearing master.
"How many days have passed?"
When the man opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and low, and he had an aura of majesty without even being angry. Even though he was still very weak at this moment, it still couldn't conceal the sharpness and wisdom in his cold eyes.
"My Lord, you have been in a coma for six days."
The man frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously a little dissatisfied.
"Dong Jiu, your medical skills have regressed."
"Hey, don't, don't, don't!
I don't take the blame for this. If it weren't for me, you would never have woken up.
Oh, you actually think six days is too long?"
The man closed his eyes slightly, pursed his dry lips lightly, and then lifted the quilt, his expression revealing his weakness and sadness.
"The token has been taken away, and the capital is probably in turmoil right now. Why not spread the news that I'm dead and take advantage of their strategy?
Since there is no room for me, it is not appropriate for my broken body to show up now.
The east wind has broken, wait for me to return, and I will definitely ask for it back. "
"Haha, this is you!
It should have been done long ago!
At the beginning I advised you to give up your power, retire and then come back, but you just wouldn't listen.
Now that I’ve given you a pair of legs, you are completely disappointed with Canglanchao?
snort! "
"Dr. Dong, please stop talking. My master has just woken up and is still very weak.
Go and write a prescription quickly, and get some nourishing medicine for my master so that he can have a good restorative diet."
Mo Yan couldn't bear to see his master being betrayed and then ridiculed by Dong Jiu, so he interrupted him hurriedly.
"Prepare the pen and ink."
The man was not affected by Dong Jiu at all. His calm face showed that he didn't care at all about losing his legs.
His eyes, as deep as a dark pool, were filled with coldness.
Dong Jiu came out of the inner room and was about to go to the kitchen to personally boil medicine for the ancestor inside. Unexpectedly, when he passed by the side room, he saw Lao Wu sitting upright on the armchair, with five subordinates kneeling neatly on the ground.
He curiously looked inside, and Lao Wu frowned, stood up, clasped his fists and saluted towards Dong Jiu.
