Chapter 311 Carrier Pigeon
The sisters-in-law stopped picking up the dishes, looked at each other, and then looked at He Zhiran's bowl, which was already filled with various dishes, and was almost falling out.
Then they laughed a few times and sat back in their seats.
The second sister-in-law said loudly: "Hahaha, look at us aunts, we are afraid that our two nephews will not have enough to eat, so we keep picking up food for the ninth brother's wife."
Her words just resolved the embarrassment of the other sisters-in-law.
He Zhiran now accepted everything that was offered to him. Not only did he eat all the dishes that his sisters-in-law picked for him, he also ate two large bowls of rice.
It's not in vain that she eats so much. She has obviously gained a little weight compared to before, and looks beautiful in a different way.
Poor Mo Jiuye, at his prime age, he couldn't eat the delicious food and could only watch it bleed from his nose...
After returning to the space at night, He Zhiran washed up and fell asleep.
It was hard for Mo Jiuye to watch him from the side. He wanted to touch her but was worried about disturbing his wife's rest. In desperation, he could only run to the bathroom to force himself to cool down.
Early the next day, Mo Jiuye pretended to take He Zhiran out for a walk, and the two went directly to the haunted house at the foot of the mountain.
Nanrui had a lot of dry food and ingredients in his carriage, and there was also a simple stove left by his fifth brother in the haunted house, so the mother and son would not starve.
Concubine De was already awake, but she was still very weak. She couldn't eat the hard cake that Nanrui took out.
Nanrui was waiting for Mo Jiuye to come and ask him to help buy some ingredients.
"Ninth Young Master, you are finally here."
When Mo Jiuye heard him say this, he thought something had happened to Concubine De.
"Is there something wrong with Concubine De?"
Nan Rui knew from Mo Jiuye's tone that he had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, my mother has woken up, but I don't have any food suitable for her, so I would like to trouble you to buy some for her.
Also, my mother's personal nanny is in the largest inn in Yuncheng. Please find someone to bring her over."
In order to make Mo Jiuye less afraid, he explained: "The nanny beside my mother is very reliable and will not do anything bad to your Mo family."
At this time, Nanrui had imagined the Mohists as frightened birds, and was afraid that his arrival would cause them unnecessary trouble.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nanrui took out a silver note and stuffed it into Mo Jiuye's hand, his eyes full of pleading.
"My mother's condition is not very good right now. I don't feel comfortable leaving her here alone while I go out to do things."
When he came to Xiling Village, in order to prevent Mo Jiuye from feeling fearful, he ordered several personal guards and the maids around his mother to stay in Yuncheng.
He disguised himself as an ordinary businessman and rushed to Xiling Village. But now he didn't even have a helper around him.
Although he has already decided that he may have to do everything by himself in the future, it is still the beginning and he is still a little uncomfortable.
Especially in the current situation, he was really in a panic.
Not to mention anything else, he couldn't serve his mother very well in her daily life.
These are the issues that need to be addressed most right now.
Nan Rui saw that Mo Jiuye did not respond to him immediately and thought that he was still brooding over what he had done that year.
So he hurried to the carriage and took out the white dove from it.
Mo Jiuye had long wanted to ask Nanrui why he brought a white pigeon with him to the northwest, but at that time Concubine De's life was in danger and Nanrui was extremely anxious, so he resisted the urge to ask.
Before Mo Jiuye could ask, Nan Rui came up to him with a cage and explained:
"This carrier pigeon is my thank you gift for helping me find a master to treat my mother."
Immediately afterwards, Nanrui took out two more silver notes and handed them to Mo Jiuye, fearing that the five hundred and two yuan he had just given would be too little.
"And you take this."
The reason why he gave Mo Jiuye the banknotes again was because he thought of the shady things his father had arranged when the Mo family was exiled, as well as the bad things his elder brother had done behind the scenes, which left the Mo family empty-handed when they embarked on the road of exile.
Now that they have just settled down in the northwest, it must be the time when they need money.
Given Mo Jiuye's pride, if I directly offered to help them, I'm afraid they wouldn't accept it. It was a good opportunity for me to help the Mo family by having them help me with shopping.
In fact, Nanrui didn’t know that Mo Jiuye had changed now.
He is no longer as rigid as before, and has long learned from He Zhiran to be tactful and judge the situation.
What's more, my daughter-in-law saved Concubine De's life. Let alone this little bit of silver, even if it was ten or a hundred times more, it would not be too much.
He held the banknote with no intention of returning it, and all his attention was focused on the white dove.
"Is there anything special about this white dove?"
Seeing that Mo Jiuye did not refuse the silver note he gave him, Nanrui happily placed the cage containing the white pigeon carefully on the ground.
"Don't underestimate this thing. It's the treasure of that mysterious man. He once used this white dove to send a letter to me."
Speaking of delivering letters, Mo Jiuye remembered what happened a few days ago. The man from southern Xinjiang who occupied the shipping company said that the carrier pigeon given to him by Mr. Simeng was lost, so he didn't dare to go back and stayed there as the boss.
Could it be that the white dove in Nanrui's hand is the one lost by the people of southern Xinjiang?
"May I ask, King Rui, why are you so sure this is the white dove that delivered the message to you? And how did you obtain this dove?"
Nanrui bent down, opened the cage, took out the white dove, and spread its wings.
“Look here, this white dove has a golden feather inside its wing.
When I left your place before the Chinese New Year, I saw a man from southern Xinjiang on the road carrying a cage with white pigeons in it.
By chance, the white dove stretched its wings at that moment, and I recognized it at a glance as the one that the mysterious man had sent me the letter.
After hearing what Nanrui said, Mo Jiuye could already conclude that this was the white pigeon that the people of southern Xinjiang had lost.
Before he could speak, Nan Rui said again:
"I thought at the time that this white dove might be useful to you, so I sent guards to snatch it from the man from southern Xinjiang.
It’s a pity that the man from Southern Xinjiang knew how to use poison, and my guards were unable to catch him.
Fortunately, the white dove was successfully obtained."
As he spoke, Nanrui had already put the white dove back into the cage, then pushed the cage in front of Mo Jiuye, signaling him to put it away.
For Mo Jiuye, this white dove might be a clue to finding Mr. Simeng. After solemnly thanking Nan Rui, he picked up the cage.
Nan Rui thought they were leaving and said anxiously, "My mother has a poor appetite right now. I hope you can help me buy some nourishing ingredients. Also, if it's convenient, could you help me get my mother's personal nanny over?"
Mo Jiuye had no intention of leaving immediately. He and He Zhiran came here mainly to check on Concubine De's health.
"My wife and I came here to visit Concubine De."
Upon hearing this, Nan Rui quickly turned sideways.
"Okay, my mother is awake and inside."
