The sisters-in-law paused in picking up the food, looked at each other, and then looked at He Zhiran's bowl. It was already filled with various dishes and almost fell out.
A few people laughed a few times and sat back down.
The second sister-in-law said in a loud voice: "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 our nine younger brothers and sisters."
Her words just right resolved the embarrassment of the other sisters-in-law.
He Zhiran now refuses everyone who comes, not only eating all the dishes brought by his sisters-in-law, but also eating two large bowls of rice.
She doesn't eat so much for free. She has obviously gained a little fatter than before, and she looks beautiful in a different way.
Poor Mo Jiuye is still young and can only watch his nose bleed...
Returning to the space at night, He Zhiran took a shower and fell asleep.
Mo Jiuye looked at him in pain, wanting to touch her but worrying about disturbing his wife to rest. In desperation, he could only run to the bathroom to forcefully cool down.
Getting up 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.
Nan Rui's carriage brought a lot of dry food and ingredients, and there was also a simple stove left by the fifth brother in the haunted house. They, mother and son, were not hungry.
Concubine De was already awake, but her body was still very weak. She couldn't eat the hard pancake that Nan Rui brought out.
Nan Rui waited for Mo Jiuye to come over and asked him to help buy some ingredients.
"Ninth Young Master, you are finally here."
When Mo Jiuye heard what he said, he thought something was wrong with Concubine De.
"Is there anything wrong with Concubine De?"
Nan Rui saw that Mo Jiuye's tone had misunderstood, and quickly explained: "No, my mother-in-law has woken up, but I don't have any food suitable for her here, so I would like to ask you to help buy some.
Also, my mother-in-law’s personal nanny is in the largest inn in Yuncheng. Please find someone to pick her up. "
In order to make Mo Jiuye less afraid, he explained: "The nuns around my mother-in-law are very reliable and will not harm your Mo family."
At this time, Nan Rui had already imagined the Mo family as a frightened bird, fearing that his arrival would cause unnecessary trouble to them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Rui had already taken out a banknote and stuffed it into Mo Jiuye's hand, his eyes full of pleading.
"My mother-in-law's current condition is not very good. I don't feel comfortable leaving her here alone to go out and do things."
When he came to Xiling Village, in order to prevent Mo Jiuye from being afraid, he ordered several personal guards and the nuns around his mother and concubine to stay in Yuncheng.
He pretended to be an ordinary businessman and rushed to Xiling Village. It was a good thing, he didn't even have a helper around him now.
Although he has already thought about it, he may have to live a life where he does everything by himself in the future, but after all, it has just begun and he is still a little uncomfortable.
Especially in this situation, he was really in a hurry.
Not to mention anything else, he couldn't take good care of his mother and concubine's daily life.
These are the issues that need to be addressed most right now.
Seeing that Mo Jiuye didn't respond to him immediately, Nan Rui thought that he was still brooding about what he had done back then.
So, he quickly walked towards the carriage and took out the white dove from the carriage.
Mo Jiuye had long wanted to ask Nan Rui why he brought a white dove with him when he came to the northwest, but Concubine De's life was in danger at that time, and Nan Rui was in a panic, so he could not bear to ask.
Before Mo Jiuye could ask, Nan Rui came to him with a cage and explained:
"This carrier pigeon can be regarded as a thank you gift from me for helping you find an expert to save your mother and concubine."
Immediately afterwards, Nan Rui took out two more silver notes and handed them to Mo Jiuye, fearing that the five hundred and two people he had just given were not enough.
"You also have this."
The reason why he gave Mo Jiuye another banknote was because he thought of the shady things arranged by his father when the Mo family was in exile, and the bad things his eldest brother did behind the scenes, which made the Mo family go into exile with empty hands.
Now that they have just settled in the northwest, it must be time to spend money.
With Mo Jiuye's arrogance, if he directly said to help them, they might not accept it, so he just used this opportunity to help a group of Mo family.
In fact, Nan Rui didn't know that Mo Jiuye had changed now.
He is no longer as rigid as before, and has already learned from He Zhiran to be diplomatic and to assess the situation.
What's more, the daughter-in-law saved Concubine De's life, let alone this small amount of money, even if it was ten times or a hundred times more, it would not be an exaggeration.
He held the banknote with no intention of returning it, and focused all his attention on the white dove.
"Is there anything special about this white dove?"
When Nan Rui saw that Mo Jiuye did not refuse the banknote he sent, he happily placed the cage with the white pigeon on the ground.
"Don't underestimate this thing. This is the treasure of that mysterious man. He once used this white dove to send me a letter."
Speaking of delivering letters, Mo Jiuye remembered what happened a few days ago. The man from southern Xinjiang who invaded the shipping company said that the carrier pigeon given to him by Mr. Simeng was lost, so he did not dare to go back and stayed there to be the boss.
Could it be that the white pigeon in Nan Rui's hand was the one lost by the people from southern Xinjiang?
"May I ask King Rui, why are you so sure that this is the white dove that sent you the message, and how did you get this white dove?"
Nan Rui bent down to open the cage, took out the white dove, and then 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 a white pigeon in his hand.
It happened that the white dove stretched its wings at that time, and I recognized it at a glance as the one from which the mysterious man had sent me the message. "
Hearing what Nan Rui said, Mo Jiuye could already conclude that this was the white pigeon lost by the people in southern Xinjiang.
Before he could speak, Nan Rui said again:
"I thought at that time that this white dove might be useful to you, so I sent my guards to snatch it from the southern Xinjiang man.
It's a pity that the southern Xinjiang man knows how to use poison, so my guards couldn't catch him.
Fortunately, the white pigeon was successfully obtained. "
While speaking, Nan Rui had already put the white pigeon back into the cage, and then pushed the cage in front of Mo Jiuye, signaling him to put it away.
This white pigeon may be a clue to Mo Jiuye to find Mr. Simeng. After he solemnly thanked Nan Rui, he lifted the cage.
Nan Rui thought they were leaving and said anxiously: "My mother-in-law has a bad appetite now. I hope you can help me buy some nourishing ingredients. Also, if it is convenient, can you help me pick up my mother-in-law's personal nanny?" ?”
Mo Jiuye had no intention of leaving immediately. He and He Zhiran came here mainly to check on Concubine De's body.
"My wife and I came here just to visit Concubine De."
Upon hearing this, Nan Rui quickly turned aside.
"Okay, my mother-in-law is awake and she's inside."
