The old lady had never been to school, but because she had suffered a lot, she knew quite a few principles.
But what she didn't understand was that it was precisely because of trust that she couldn't help but want to get close to Yun Qingluo.
"You must be exhausted today?" Mo Beichen saw Yun Qingluo rubbing her sore shoulders, so he took the initiative to hug her and massage her shoulders.
Yun Qinglu chuckled. She had actually seen Mo Beichen waiting not far away a long time ago, but she had been talking to Doctor Zhou and the old lady, so she hadn't had time to call him.
Mo Beichen possessed an innate aura of authority; no matter how he tried to conceal it, a single glance would betray his presence. She feared that with Mo Beichen's arrival, Doctor Zhou and the old woman would feel uncomfortable and unwilling to speak much with her.
Yun Qingluo took Mo Beichen's arm, and the two walked side by side toward the carriage.
"Ah Chen, do you know why I like being a doctor?"
"Why?" Mo Beichen asked curiously. Although he could guess a little from watching her talk to the other two people earlier, he still didn't want to spoil Yun Qingluo's interest in sharing.
“Because… it feels so good to be trusted by someone wholeheartedly.” Yun Qingluo paused slightly after saying the first two words, as if she was thinking about how to choose her words. Then, as if she had thought of something, she turned her head and looked up at Mo Beichen with bright eyes.
Seeing Yun Qingluo radiating joy from within, Mo Beichen's mood improved as well. "Well, it's all thanks to our Luoluo's amazing skills. So many renowned doctors couldn't cure her, but Luoluo could cure her with a single dose of medicine."
Yun Qingluo felt happy when she heard the pride in Mo Beichen's tone.
The greatest joy in the world is when the person you like also likes you. Even more joyful is when the person you like not only likes you but also stands firmly by your side and supports you in doing what you want to do.
"Ah Chen, have you ever been completely trusted by someone?" Yun Qingluo suddenly asked.
Mo Beichen tightened his grip and silently shook his head.
"Before I met you, there was nothing; after I met you, there have been many." Mo Beichen said this slowly after a long pause.
“That’s not right. Your Mo family army trusts you a lot.” Yun Qingluo stopped and looked at him seriously.
Mo Beichen subconsciously retorted, "They only trust me because I am a general and a commander."
“But later, they only recognized you.” Yun Qingluo added after saying that, “It’s okay, anyway, my children and I will trust you wholeheartedly from now on, hehe, Achen, you are the pillar of the family.”
“Okay, I will try my best to be a good father and a good husband. If anything is wrong, Luo Luo, please tell me.” Mo Beichen said, looking earnestly into Yun Qingluo’s eyes.
Yun Qingluo looked up at the glittering stars in the night sky, her voice somewhat ethereal, "Achen has always been a good husband, always has been."
She must have done something terrible in her past life; he has always been very good to her and has never abandoned her.
As soon as Yun Qingluo and Mo Beichen returned to the City Lord's Mansion, there were guards waiting for them in the courtyard.
"Lord Mo, Madam Mo, the antidote powder was put into all the wells last night, and we have also arranged for people to guard the wells. If any suspicious persons are found, we will inform you immediately," the guard replied respectfully.
Mo Beichen nodded. "It's a critical period, so keep a close eye on things."
"Yes," the guard replied and withdrew.
As soon as Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo arrived at the dining hall, Yun Qingluo's master and uncle also arrived.
"Oh dear, I left early this morning and came back so late. I've truly lived the life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset." The Ghost Doctor stretched and walked into the dining room.
"You're back too? How's the patient who vomited blood yesterday?" The Ghost Doctor sat down opposite Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qinglu poured a cup of tea for the two of them and said with a smile, "It has improved somewhat, but we'll have to wait and see in a few days to see the specifics."
Lord Xu also walked in. “You’ve all returned just in time. I have something to discuss with you.”
Lord Xu recounted the situation inside the city, which made several people laugh.
"So, by rushing to drink well water, everyone has actually saved on food." Mo Beichen's usual seriousness vanished, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Xu Sheng picked up the conversation and continued, "Isn't that right? Some people brought their own stored grain to the city lord's mansion, saying they wanted to distribute it to the people outside the city. They had just learned that Cheng Qing had embezzled relief grain, so they wanted to help me out."
Yun Qingluo chuckled, "This is also because you, the city lord, are deeply trusted by the people, so they are willing to give you their stored grain so that you can take it to the people outside to eat."
With a cure for the epidemic, people trusted them, and things were moving in a positive direction. So, the group ate together, chatting and laughing, and it was quite lively.
After dinner, Mo Beichen and Yun Qingluo went for a walk in the garden. Xu Sheng went to his study to handle some matters, while the Ghost Doctor took Yun Qingluo's master to play chess.
After the two walked around the garden three times, Yun Qingluo stopped panting and said, "Phew, I've finally digested it. Let's go back and take a bath. I'm so tired, I'm not walking anymore." As she spoke, she tugged at Mo Beichen's sleeve and said coquettishly.
Actually, their initial intention for going for a walk was because Yun Qingluo, after dinner, expressed her desire to strengthen her body so that she could hold her two children at home in the future. However, after only three laps, she was already exhausted and completely forgot her earlier boast.
For her, exercise seemed somewhat against human nature.
Looking at Yun Qingluo's adorable appearance, Mo Beichen smiled and replied, "Alright, go back and take a bath. You were busy at the pharmacy this morning and then traveling outside the city this afternoon. You must be tired. Go back and take a hot bath and get some rest." He gently took Yun Qingluo's hand and led her back.
