Chapter 27 It’s really hard for her
Although he guessed that Zhou Laoba was deliberately giving his second sister-in-law a break, He Zhiran did not dare to give Mo Jiuye food openly.
After all, Mo Jiuye's pretending to be unconscious had to be kept secret from all outsiders.
However, Mo Jiuye had not eaten for the entire day, and it was even more impossible for him to go to the toilet. If this continued, even a strong man would not be able to bear it.
The wounds on his body also need to be checked and the dressings changed.
After thinking about it, He Zhiran couldn't think of any good solution.
In desperation, she decided to sacrifice herself.
She took out an army green sheet from the space under the cover of the package.
Pretending to be unable to bear the dampness of the ground, he climbed onto the wooden cart.
In order to let Zhou Laoba know that the noise here was caused by her, she deliberately muttered: "The ground is too cold, it's more comfortable in the car."
As she said that, she lay down next to Mo Jiuye and covered them both with the sheet.
Mo Jiuye felt the warmth around him and his body paused.
If there was a mirror, he could see how red his face was at the moment.
He didn't know what He Zhiran was going to do, so he could only close his eyes and try to calm himself down.
The noise He Zhiran made was not only noticed by Zhou Laoba, but also by Madam Mo who was still asleep.
She glanced at the wooden cart and saw two people tightly wrapped in sheets.
Normally, Madam Mo shouldn't have any other thoughts at this time, but seeing how intimate the two were, she couldn't help but think too much.
Her ninth daughter-in-law really loves her son. Even at this time, she still remembers to sleep with her husband.
This is good too. If they can arrive in the northwest safely, they can consummate their marriage sooner and give her many grandsons and granddaughters to continue the Mo family's bloodline.
But Zhou Laoba doesn't think so.
Moreover, he also overturned some positive comments about He Zhiran.
Apart from having some medical skills, this woman is no different from other women vying for favor in the mansions.
My husband is unconscious, yet he still wants to climb into bed...
Despite this, he didn't have the habit of watching couples sleeping together. He just glanced at them to make sure they were not up to anything before turning his head away.
He Zhiran observed the surrounding situation again, and seeing that no one was staring at them, she carefully took out two white flour buns and a handful of braised beef and stuffed them into Mo Jiuye's hands.
In addition, he was given a few alcohol cotton balls and a small bottle of Yunnan Baiyao.
She whispered to Mo Jiuye in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Be quick and find a place where no one can see you to eat something and then take care of your wound. I'll find something else to put where you're lying so the officers won't find you."
Mo Jiuye then understood that this woman wanted to use the method of escaping from the shell to conceal her tracks.
It's really hard for her.
Without a doubt, Mo Jiuye knew that the opportunity was hard to come by, so he rolled under the car and landed silently.
This shows how amazing his Qinggong is.
The moment Mo Jiuye left the wooden cart, He Zhiran took out a quilt from the space and placed it in his original place.
Not to mention, it was a dark and windy night, and with the sheets covering the area, no one could tell that it was not Mo Jiuye.
She also took advantage of Mo Jiuye's absence to start checking the purse He Yuanming gave her.
There was a stack of silver notes inside, which was counted to be three thousand taels. In addition, there were some loose silver coins, which were estimated to be about twenty taels.
In this era, if such a large amount of silver is kept in an ordinary citizen's home, it is enough to ensure worry-free life for several generations.
It can be seen that the two elders of the He family really love their daughter.
Mo Jiuye moved very agilely and quickly disappeared from He Zhiran's sight using his lightness skills.
After about two quarters of an hour, Mo Jiuye came back.
When He Zhiran heard the noise, she immediately put away the quilt. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Mo Jiuye lay down in his original position.
"How is the wound?" He Zhiran asked softly.
"The bleeding has stopped." Mo Jiuye answered in the same low voice.
He thought for a moment and then said, "Thank you for what you have done for me and the Mo family."
In He Zhiran's mind, this was not the time to be polite. After hearing Mo Jiuye's thanks, she did not say anything.
Just as she was thinking about whether to continue lying here, her second sister-in-law came back.
The second sister-in-law thought everyone was asleep, so she tiptoed to the wooden cart.
But there was no sign of He Zhiran.
Just when she was about to look around, He Zhiran stood up from the wooden cart.
"Second sister-in-law, I'm here."
The second sister-in-law looked in the direction of the sound and saw her ninth brother's wife and ninth brother sleeping in the same quilt.
She wanted to slap herself in the face.
The newlyweds were enjoying their love for each other, but she came and disrupted things at an inopportune time.
"Ninth sister-in-law, you continue to rest. We can talk tomorrow."
As soon as he saw his second sister-in-law's reaction, He Zhiran knew that she had misunderstood him.
What's more, she was eager to understand why those families targeted the Mo family, so how could she have the patience to wait until tomorrow?
"Second sister-in-law, I just wanted to give my husband something to eat."
Everyone in the Mo family knew that Mo Jiuye was pretending to be unconscious, so He Zhiran simply told the truth.
After hearing He Zhiran's explanation, the second sister-in-law felt a little embarrassed.
It turned out that she had misunderstood.
"Ninth sister-in-law, I just found out the reason."
The second sister-in-law felt that it was more appropriate to tell him at this time. On the surface, she was telling He Zhiran, but in fact, she could also let Mo Jiuye understand the situation.
Sure enough, Mo Jiuye had pricked up his ears and was ready to listen carefully.
He Zhiran urged: "Second sister-in-law, please speak quickly."
Second sister-in-law sighed.
"I guess this was done intentionally."
He Zhiran became more and more interested.
"what is going on?"
“My eldest brother said that there were no signs at all before the Xie family was exiled.
Today, an official came to read the imperial edict, saying that the Protector of the Country Mo Jiuye has confessed to his treason.
He also said that Jiuye voluntarily confessed that the Xie family was also involved. In addition, he also produced evidence of my father accepting bribes many years ago.
My mother's family believes that the amount of bribes my father accepted was not large, and it was only twice, so the main reason he was not confiscated and exiled was because Jiuye confessed that the Xie family had colluded with him to commit treason."
He Zhiran fell into deep thought.
Mo Jiuye would never do such a thing.
What's more, if I hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that the Mo family would be confiscated and exiled, let alone confess.
If what my second sister-in-law said is true, there is only one possibility.
That is, the Xie family offended the emperor, and the emperor took the opportunity to eliminate the Xie family in order to eliminate dissidents, and by the way, made things difficult for Mo Jiuye on his road to exile.
Other than that, she couldn't think of any other reason.
There are three other families. Although I haven't heard them say the reason why they insulted the Mohist school, I cannot rule out this possibility.
Mo Jiuye was also thinking about the whole story.
He had almost the same idea as He Zhiran, and he was more familiar with the officials from these families in the court, and knew some of their secrets.
Especially Fang Chuanzhuo, who had no grudge against him.
According to Mo Jiuye's understanding, this person had indeed offended Emperor Shunwu.
