Chapter 243 Filial Piety
"I don't know. I heard it from A'ran. She heard it when the female doctor was talking to my mother." Mu Xingci said.
"So that's how it is. I hope she can come up with a good solution." Yun Wansheng said.
"Sister-in-law, go back and rest! My brother and I are here." Mu Xinghan said respectfully.
"I'm fine, second brother. Your wedding is in a few days. Are you ready?" Yun Wansheng asked with concern.
"Sister-in-law, my mother has already taken care of everything for me. We are just waiting for the bride to come home. Now my mother has suddenly fallen ill. I think she may have been tired because of my affairs."
"Second brother, don't say that. If you want to blame someone, blame me. If my mother-in-law hadn't gone to the temple to pray for me, she wouldn't have collapsed from exhaustion."
Mu Xingci watched the uncle and sister-in-law blaming each other, then stepped forward and took his wife's hand: "Okay, don't feel guilty about each other, mother will be fine, we just need to wait."
"Oh!" Mu Xinghan responded and sat back in his seat.
"Madam, come and sit down." Mu Xingci led her to the low couch and sat down with her.
Then the three of them waited quietly, no one spoke, but their eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.
At this moment, the maid came to report: "Prince Regent, the second and third wives are here to visit Madam, along with the two grandmothers."
"Go out and tell them to come back after Madam wakes up." Mu Xingci did not agree to let anyone into the house.
Yun Wansheng watched from the side and did not object. Since the patient was not awake yet, so many people coming into the room would only cause trouble.
Just when the three people were getting impatient, the female doctor finally arrived.
"I greet the Regent!"
"No need to be so polite, lady. Please rescue my mother first. I will reward you handsomely afterwards."
"Yes!" The female doctor walked to the bed with a medicine box on her back, looked at the person on the bed, and then began to check.
Yun Wansheng glanced at her from time to time. She saw that the female doctor was about twenty years old. She was wearing a beige dress that set off her beautiful face with a hint of coldness, making her look like a doctor.
As I was distracted, I saw the female doctor stand up and take out a needle bag from the medicine box.
After applying some silver needles, she took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in Wu's nose to fumigate for a while, and then fed the patient a pill.
After finishing all this, he looked at Mu Xingci and said, "Lord Regent, according to my diagnosis, Madam has a heart disease that has accumulated over time. If this heart disease gets worse, she will faint and become unconscious at any time.
This situation is very dangerous for Madam. If she is not treated in time, her life will be in danger."
The three people in the room were slightly shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that this mental illness was so serious.
"Madam, when will my mother wake up?" This is what Mu Xingci is most concerned about at the moment.
"Lord Regent, I have already tried three methods on her. I think she will wake up soon."
"What's your name, ma'am?"
"My Lord Regent, my surname is Hu, and my given name is Hu Mei."
"Are you from the capital?"
"Exactly!"
Mu Xingci was about to ask something else when he suddenly heard Yun Wansheng's surprised voice: "Grandma, you are finally awake?"
When the two brothers heard this, they hurried to the bedside and looked at their mother: "Mom! You finally woke up, you scared your sons to death." Mu Xinghan held Wu's hand and said with fear on his face.
"Mom! Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?" Mu Xingci asked with concern.
Mrs. Wu's eyes gradually became clearer. Seeing her three children so worried about her, she felt comforted.
"Mom is fine." There was a hint of weakness in the voice.
"Regent, the lady has just woken up. You can't talk too much. The best way is to let her rest." Hu Mei said.
"Hu Mei, you will work in the Regent's Palace from now on! You will be responsible for taking care of my mother, and you will be paid a thousand taels of silver per month." Mu Xingci gave the order without allowing any room for refusal.
"Uh! I obey your command!" Hu Mei responded with seeming embarrassment.
With the female doctor present, the three of them sat quietly with Mrs. Wu for a while and then left with peace of mind.
When they returned to the main courtyard, it was already dark, and Mu Xingci asked someone to prepare dinner.
After the food was served, the couple sat down next to each other and started to have dinner.
While eating, Mu Xingci did not forget to pick up some food for his wife: "My wife, eat more."
"Okay, eat yours." Yun Wansheng gnawed on the chicken leg.
"My wife, marrying you is the best choice I have ever made." Mu Xingci said with a smile.
Yun Wansheng raised her eyes and looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
"I was worried that you wouldn't like my family, but since we got married, you've been very respectful to my mother and very attentive to my second brother and younger sister."
"There's nothing to worry about. Human emotions are two-way. If they treat me well, I will naturally return their kindness. It's the same for everyone."
"No! Many families don't think this way. Whether they are powerful or ordinary families, it is not uncommon for mothers-in-law, daughters-in-law, and sisters-in-law to speak coldly to each other.
Even if one party shows goodwill, those people won't appreciate it, and instead think you should just be like that." Mu Xingci said as he ate.
"There are so many things like this, so a harmonious family requires people with the same values to live a happy life.
Otherwise, the family will be in chaos and no one will have a good life.
"Luckily, I met a reasonable mother-in-law. If I had met one who was arrogant, I would have to stay away from her even if I wanted to be nice to her." Yun Wansheng said with a smile.
"Indeed, so we are destined to be a family."
"Well! You have made the greatest contribution. Here, this chicken leg is a reward for you." Yun Wansheng picked up a chicken leg for him and teased.
"You still have a conscience. It's worth it that I've pursued you for several years." Mu Xingci was very satisfied with the woman's performance. He smiled and ate the chicken leg.
After the meal, the maid helped the couple wash up, and then they took a walk in the large courtyard to digest the food.
"The moon is out!" Yun Wansheng looked at the crescent moon in the sky.
Mu Xingci followed her gaze and said, "In a few days it will be the fifteenth, and on the sixteenth will be Xinghan's wedding. I hope everything goes well."
"It will go smoothly. Have you met Qin Ning?"
"No!"
"Actually, your mother is quite open-minded. As the mistress of the Mu family, she was willing to let an ordinary woman marry into the family. No one can compare to her in this respect."
"Hmm! Maybe my mother is a martial artist, which makes her style of doing things less pedantic and petty."
Yun Wansheng couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "You're not as open-minded as your mother in this respect."
Mu Xingci knew what she meant when he heard it, and couldn't help but laugh: "My lady, no matter how pedantic or arrogant I am, I have been disciplined by you, haven't I? No matter how good my kung fu is, no matter how great my achievements are, I am still not as good as you."
The man's words made Yun Wansheng laugh repeatedly: "My husband, you are too modest. I am not as good as you."
"In my opinion, you are a humble person. You are ungrateful even after getting an advantage." Seeing the woman smiling happily, Mu Xingci couldn't help but smile happily too.
