"You know we're worried, but you're still trying to be brave?"
Ling Yuan sat down angrily, grabbed Mo Yin's arm and started to feel his pulse. After a moment, she asked with a grim expression.
"But is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?"
Mo Yin pointed in the direction of the stomach and shook his head. Ling Yuan was furious when he saw it: "Besides here?"
He shook his head in agreement, "I don't feel any discomfort elsewhere. After vomiting, I feel much better and I don't hiccup anymore."
For him, not burping is more comfortable than vomiting.
Ling Yuan glared at him and said, "I just don't understand. What's so shameful about not being able to eat spicy food? This means that your body is not suitable for spicy food, not that you can't eat it. You are so stubborn, and you have seen the consequences. Is it useful? Even if you eat spicy food every day and vomit every day, you can't change your hiccups. It's innate and can't be changed. Do you understand?"
Mo Yin wanted to say something but stopped himself. Ling Yuan's dark eyes stared straight at him, with an unprecedented sharpness in his eyes.
"Don't blame me for not making the ugly words clear. If you continue to abuse yourself like this, you will be the one who suffers in the future. When you ruin your stomach, you will cry for the rest of your life. No matter how powerful you are, you can't improve this. Do you understand?"
Seeing his sister scolding him like a child, Mo Yin was speechless, but he was in the wrong, so he could only nod obediently.
After Ling Yuan finished explaining, she handed him a cup of space water and a few pills to relieve his stomach pain, then went out. After a while, she came back with a depressed look on her face.
"In such a big Mojia, we can't even find any milk, not even goat milk. That's too much. Forget it, just lie down and have a good rest. Don't eat anything. I'll go make you some food."
Seeing her busying around, Mo Yin felt a little sorry, "No, I don't want to eat anything right now, please stop working."
Ling Yuan glanced at him calmly and said, "Don't worry about it. I'll be back soon."
Before going to the kitchen, Ling Yuan returned to the restaurant and helped Mo Yuan, who was still lying on the ground with a desperate look on his face, up, and stuffed a pill into his hand.
But in the blink of an eye, Mo Yuan felt that he could move again, and the first thing he said was: "How is Sixth Brother?"
"You still have a conscience. Go check on him first. I'll make him some food to relieve his stomachache."
Ling Yuan saw Mo Yuan regain his lively self and was about to leave after saying a few words, but Mo Yuan grabbed her.
"Sister, I was wrong. I will never make fun of you again. Please forgive me. I promise you, isn't that enough?"
Ling Yuan raised her hand to brush his hand away, glaring at him unhappily: "The one you should apologize to is not me, but Sixth Brother. He has no strength right now and is lying on the couch. Ninth Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when will you be more mature? Is it because Sixth Brother has protected you too well over the years? Why are you so naive?"
Mo Yuan's face froze and he wanted to explain something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start. Ling Yuan didn't have the time to listen to his explanation, so she waved at him and left.
Looking at her back, Mo Yuan lowered his eyes, and a hint of loneliness and complexity clearly flashed across them.
"Yes, Sixth Brother protected me so well that I don't know how to survive in the family. Yuan'er, what should I do? If you were me, what would you do?"
Looking up at the sky, Mo Yuan suddenly felt that even if the sun was shining brightly today, it would not be able to clear away the haze in his heart.
By the time Ling Yuan placed kelp and pork ribs soup, mung bean nutritious porridge, as well as grapes, walnuts and other foods in Mo Yin's study, he had already fallen asleep. Standing beside him were Gongzi Yan and Mo Hanyi, who had returned at some point, and Mo Yuan, who had his head lowered and was wondering what he was thinking.
Helplessly, she could only ask someone to bring the food down and heat it up, thinking that it would not be too late to eat it when he woke up.
After the brothers and sisters evacuated from Mo Yin's room, Mo Hanyi left with an excuse, leaving the three brothers and sisters alone, looking at each other in silence, not knowing where to start.
"Do you two think that I am useless as your brother?"
Mo Yuan's sudden words startled Ling Yuan. Thinking about what she had just said and Mo Yuan's current state, she immediately blamed herself.
"Brother, what are you talking about? How can you be useless? You don't know how happy my sister and I are when we know we have powerful brothers like you and Sixth Brother."
"Compared to Sixth Brother, am I not like your elder brother at all? Sometimes, I even feel that I am not as mature as you two. In comparison, I am more like your younger brother, right?"
The two sisters exchanged glances quickly, thinking, they are both older than him, not only him, but also Mo Yin. However, Mo Yin usually shows the character of being strong and tall enough to shelter from wind and rain. On the contrary, Mo Yuan, the funny guy, is more approachable and easy to get along with. But this does not mean that he is like their younger brother!
"Brother, that's not what I meant before. I just think that you may have played a little too much sometimes, but that doesn't mean you are bad in all aspects. What our brother said is nonsense. People will laugh at you if you tell others about it. Brother, you must never say such things in the future. I apologize to you here for what I said before, okay? Brother, please don't take it to heart!"
"No, you didn't say anything wrong. This time, I was the one who went too far. I didn't expect Sixth Brother to be so persistent. In short, it's my fault, it's my fault!"
The more Mo Yuan blamed himself, the more uncomfortable Ling Yuan felt. She looked at him and suddenly felt that something seemed different about him. She opened her mouth to ask, but Gongzi Yan suddenly pulled her and shook his head at her.
And Mo Yuan really didn't want to stay any longer. "Your yard has been arranged. Come on, I'll take you there. You've been tired for so many days, it's time to have a good rest." After saying that, he walked out first.
The two sisters were behind, looking at each other, and finally Ling Yuan looked at Gongzi Yan in annoyance.
"Oh no, my brother must be mad at me. I said before that he was innocent and was too well protected by my brother. Do you think I hurt his self-esteem?"
"Did you say that?"
Ling Yuan nodded with a guilty look on her face. "I told you, I never thought he would be so sensitive. You see him jumping up and down all the time, could he be the kind of person with something on his mind? Oh, it's also my fault. I thought he was too simple. This time I realized that our Ninth Brother is actually sensitive, but his flamboyant personality usually covers it up."
However, Gongzi Yan stroked his chin, pulling Ling Yuan away while watching Mo Yuan's heavy but slightly frivolous steps.
"Logically speaking, Brother Nine shouldn't have reacted so strongly. Tell me, is there something else that we don't know about? Did your previous words accidentally irritate his nerves? Did they make him wake up all of a sudden?"
Ling Yuan's eyes widened. "No, no way?"
"What's there to not know? Have you forgotten what Sixth Brother said to that Lord when he was on Stone Island? Although we couldn't hear what they were saying, we could understand the few words that popped out occasionally. If we didn't see it wrong, that Lord gnashed his teeth and said to Brother, "He is my biological son!"
"Not only that, there are also brothers, sisters, mothers and so on. Tell me, is there a possibility that Sixth Brother has some relationship with that Lord?"
Ling Yuan's heart was shocked by Gongzi Yan's seemingly casual words, and her pupils dilated even more in an instant.
"No, no way? How is this possible?"
"How is this impossible? Even though my brothers seem to have explained our life stories clearly from beginning to end, I always feel that they were reserved about the parts about our mother and father, and their explanations were not so complete."
"For example, where is our mother? Where is our father? Back then, they only said that they had no choice but to send us to the Four Continents, but what was the reason? Why did they send us away, and use such a method to cover up our identities?"
"What happened that year that caused you and I to suffer such trauma in the womb? Sister, do you know that your soul is still incomplete? Hua Yan was split because of a defect in her soul. What does this mean? It means that mother was seriously injured at that time!"
"As for me, although I didn't suffer any injuries, the dark poison should not have been planted for no reason. My brothers didn't tell us these details."
"Also, if there are two goddesses in our goddess tribe, then where is our aunt? Mom is missing, so where is our aunt? With so many details, did my brother really forget them, or did he deliberately not tell us?"
"He only told us that he asked us to return to the Goddess Clan, but he didn't tell us what happened in the empire sixteen years ago!"
When Ling Yuan asked one question after another, Gongzi Yan was silent. She looked at Ling Yuan with an uncertain tone.
"Are you saying that Sixth Brother and Ninth Brother deliberately hid something from us?"
Ling Yuan nodded, "Well, I don't know if they will tell me in the future, but obviously, now is not the time they mentioned before. They even didn't tell me our real birthdays. In other words, I don't even know when I will have to offer sacrifices for the family!"
"Yuan'er," Gongzi Yan's face turned pale when the sacrifice was mentioned, and he subconsciously grabbed Ling Yuan's hand: "You, really want to go?"
Ling Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, "This is why I came back. Didn't my brother say that I am the second person to have a portable space after Mi Rao, the founder of the Mo family? This means that I have enough power to save the Mo family and even the entire Dragon Empire. If I don't go, then what will I become? A traitor to the family? Or a traitor to the Dragon Empire?"
"No, Yuan'er, this is not your responsibility, and certainly not ours. Why did things have to turn out like this? Why do we have to bear such a responsibility as soon as we come back? We have lived hard for sixteen years. Isn't this enough? Why do we have to pay such a decisive price for this? Why?"
Seeing that Gongzi Yan's emotions had affected Mo Yuan who was walking in front, Ling Yuan quickly pinched the back of her hand.
"Okay, sister, let's stop here for now.
Gongzi Yan looked at her with red eyes, his heart filled with reluctance and sadness, but when he saw Mo Yuan walking towards them, she suppressed this emotion in an instant. No matter whether she was willing to admit it or not, even though they were back in the Mo family now, even though these two brothers seemed to be very nice to them, in her heart, her only relative was Ling Yuan, only her!
"Are you all right? Why were you so emotional just now?"
Mo Yuan frowned and looked at the two sisters deeply. Ling Yuan patted the back of Gongzi Yan's hand, signaling her not to speak.
"I was just blaming myself, and when my sister heard what I said about you, she got excited and couldn't help but scold me."
After saying this, she couldn't help but walk up to Mo Yuan and hold his hand, "Brother, I really didn't mean it. Can you forgive me?"
When Mo Yuan heard that this had caused unpleasantness between the two sisters, he immediately felt angry and helpless.
"You are my sister, my family. You said that for my own good. Why should I not accept it?"
"Don't worry, we are a family. These little things are not worth taking to heart. Don't let this hurt each other's harmony. I'm fine, and I'm not depressed because of this. It's just that I can't explain it to you clearly now, so please don't ask any more questions, okay?"
"real?"
"Of course it's true!"
Ling Yuan was so excited that she immediately smiled with excitement: "I feel relieved when you say this, brother."
Mo Yuan knocked on her forehead helplessly, "Okay, we've arrived at your courtyard. Here, this is it, Ziteng Garden. Go in and have a rest. If you need anything, just tell the maid in the courtyard. She will satisfy your request."
After Ling Yuan and Gongzi Yan saw Mo Yuan off, they returned to Zither Garden. It must be said that this place looked like it was specially arranged by the two brothers.
The courtyard is filled with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, as well as rockery and fish. The environment is particularly good and the area is not small, with two floors in total, and the layout of the upper and lower floors is the same. Although the decoration in the room is not luxurious, it is all exquisite, and the details reflect the intentions of the person who arranged it.
"Very good, it's the style I like, not ostentatious, low-key enough, and the layout is very comfortable, oh sister?"
"Yeah, it seems that the two brothers really put in a lot of effort. Let's go. We've been tired for two days, and it's time to rest!"
Ling Yuan was about to separate from Gongzi Yan and Yangbian, but suddenly she thought of something, turned around and grabbed her.
