It seems things need to be handled more tactfully, or...
After pondering for a while, Mo Qianshang told Xiao Yao about her plan.
When all the previous guesses were confirmed, Xiao Yaoshi could hardly believe that Liu Shouyi was so ruthless that he would not even spare his own grandmother!
For the first time, she remembered to slam her hand on the table. Without Mo Qianshang needing to say anything, she took the initiative to agree to cooperate with Mo Qianshang in this scene.
"Madam, please rest assured, I will definitely not make any mistakes. This kind of ungrateful wretch, whose conscience has been eaten by dogs, is truly unworthy of Aunt Zhu's care for him for so many years!"
Even with Xiao Yao's cooperation and assurances, Mo Qianshang was still somewhat worried that Zhu would not be able to withstand the blow.
If he angers the old woman to the point of being unable to breathe, then he won't be helping Zhu Shi to stop the damage in time, but rather he will be endangering Zhu Shi's life.
After frowning and pondering for a moment, Mo Qianshang suddenly had an idea as she looked at Xiao Yaoshi's delicate and fair face.
"Little Yao, where is your Xiaoyun now?"
“She must have gone to the mountains with Qingyu and his child to identify medicinal herbs. Madam said she needs to see her, so I’ll go to the mountains to call her back.”
"There is indeed something on my mind." Mo Qianshang nodded slightly, expressing her concerns.
"After all, Aunt Zhu is getting on in years. We mean well by letting her see Liu Shouyi's true colors, but we can't let good intentions lead to bad outcomes."
"Therefore, I thought that since your Xiaoyun is a well-behaved and sensible girl, we should bring her along when we go, so she can stay with Aunt Zhu."
"Firstly, she can keep an eye on Aunt Zhou's emotions at any time; secondly, Aunt Zhu, in order to prevent the maid from being frightened, should also be able to control her emotions, so that the worst situation won't happen..."
“You’re so thoughtful, Madam. I’ll go and call Xiaoyun back right away, and also find out where Liu Shouyi is now.” As she spoke, Madam Yao quickly walked out.
After she left, Mo Qianshang didn't rest. She went back to her family and gave some instructions to the kids before returning to her room to think about the items in the online store.
After seeing the price of the quick-acting heart medicine on the board, Mo Qianshang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, these things aren't expensive, so she can buy a few more to keep on hand.
It wasn't until the afternoon that I saw Xiao Yao again.
It wasn't that Liu Xiaoyun and Qin Qingyu had been playing in the mountains for too long, but rather that Liu Shouyi had only just gotten hungry and came down from the mountain.
Upon seeing him, Madam Yao rushed over to Mo Qianshang to deliver the message.
The two of them gave the children a final instruction, making sure everyone remembered their assigned tasks, and then hurried off to Zhu's residence.
They had to hurry, because no one knew if Liu Shouyi, who had been starving for most of the day, would premeditate his murder of Zhu Shi due to his bad mood.
The group had barely reached the perimeter of the courtyard wall when they heard Liu Shouyi's rude and abusive voice coming from inside the courtyard.
"You old hag, I've heard everything. You went up the mountain with the others to dig for food today, but when I came back, there was nothing to eat. Are you trying to starve me to death?"
"Or are you saying you've been getting close to that wretched woman Mo Qianshang lately, trying to teach me a lesson for currying favor with her?"
Today, he went up the mountain and met Liu Dashan again. The two found a secluded spot and whispered to each other for a long time. Their conclusion for the day was that Zhu wanted to please Mo Qianshang.
Seeing that Zhu Shi's gaze was no longer as kind and flattering as before, and that there was nothing left for him to eat in the kitchen, he became extremely angry, even wishing he could pick up a stick from the yard and start a fight!
Mo Qianshang and the others outside knew something was wrong and quickly kicked open the courtyard gate to go inside, but pretended to look at Liu Shouyi with a very friendly expression.
"Why are you arguing again? Aunt Zhu, just like you said before, no matter what, Shouyi is the only bloodline of the Liu family. You must protect him. Why do you keep arguing with him?"
"That's for sure! Besides, Shouyi is still young. If he says something hurtful that offends you, it's because he's too young and doesn't know any better. Why are you getting angry with him?"
Hearing them suddenly talking about trying to smooth things over, as if the village chief had possessed them, Liu Shouyi was completely bewildered.
He stared blankly around, confirming that he was in his own courtyard and that the people in front of him were those with whom he had a grudge before. He shook his head heavily and told himself not to be swayed by them and to stay true to himself.
"Stop your crocodile tears! You probably just want the old man to abandon me! But you're going to be disappointed. The old man is related to me by blood. No matter what, I'm his grandson!"
Having been waiting for Liu Shouyi to say these words, Mo Qianshang seemingly unintentionally gave Xiao Yao a wink.
Xiao Yao immediately smiled gently and stepped forward to touch Liu Shouyi's head. Although Liu Shouyi dodged it, she only felt sorry for him and was not angry.
"Oh dear, you've really grown up, you're even shy now! What we just said was all from the bottom of our hearts. Look at that big bump on your head, it really makes our hearts ache!"
She continued talking to herself, completely ignoring Liu Shouyi's shocked reaction as if he were looking at a fool. She then took a few steps forward to Zhu's side and earnestly persuaded her.
“Aunt Zhu, look at Shouyi’s injuries, they’re quite serious. Why don’t we put aside our unpleasantness for now and take a good look at his injuries?”
Their series of reactions and words left Zhu completely bewildered, but after spending these days together, Zhu was certain that they meant her no harm.
Trusting her, Zhu nodded, bewildered, and led the people into the house.
Liu Shouyi wanted to see what they were up to, so he didn't object and followed them inside.
But apart from Zhu, everyone else's behavior and words were too abnormal, so he remained wary and only stood by the door after entering, not daring to go too far in.
Unexpectedly, Mo Qianshang was unwilling to do as he wished and directly pushed him towards the middle of the room. Mo Qianshang also had a kind smile on her face, making it difficult for him to vent his anger.
"Don't be angry. Your Aunt Yao is going to treat your body properly. There isn't even a stool by the door. You must be feeling very uncomfortable standing here."
If Mo Qianchang hadn't said those words, Liu Shouyi would still have dared to sit on the stool. Now, he really only dared to stand, as if all the stools in the room didn't exist.
"I told you, don't try to fool me! Do you really think I don't know what you're up to? There's definitely something fishy about that stool; you might have even disassembled its legs!"
Hearing this, Mo Qianshang laughed out loud, "If I really did that, wouldn't your grandma chop me up? She'd make sure I could never set foot in your house again!"
Mo Qianshang deliberately engaged in a verbal battle with Liu Shouyi to distract him and prepare for Xiao Yaoshi to treat him.
In the brief interval of those few words, Xiao Yao and Zhu had reached a consensus, and Liu Xiaoyun was already by Zhu's side.
Everything was ready, except that Liu Shouyi stopped struggling.
But how could he possibly obey?
Seeing that Xiao Yao's hand was already outstretched to take his pulse, he quickly took a few steps back.
