The Miracle Doctor's Wife is Not a Weak Lady!-Chapter 20

Guessing Her Origin

“Yes, Old Master!” Liu Ming turned around and left quickly.

“Old Master, I’m afraid this matter isn’t that simple.” Old Jiang only spoke when Liu Ming went downstairs.

Mu Chen said nothing.

Old Jiang took out the pill that Bei Shuo had left for him and handed it to Mu Chen.

Mu Chen carefully took it and looked at it. “Are you sure?”

Old Jiang nodded. “I was the one who bought the Snow Pill back then. With my experience, I can confirm it. However, to be safe, I’ll get someone to test it.”

Mu Chen nodded. “Although this girl is a little naive, she knows what she’s doing. She must have left this pill in your hands to let us examine it.”

Old Jiang agreed. “Young Madam’s attitude proves that this medicine is real.”

Mu Chen said, “Let’s do the test.”

Old Jiang put away the pill. “It seems that Young Madam should have learned from Master Bai Lian. I didn’t expect our Young Master to have such a fortuitous encounter. From the looks of it, there’s hope for him!”

When Mu Chen heard this, he could not help but reveal a smile. “That’s right. We found him a wife to counteract his bad luck, but no one expected it to work. It’s a real blessing. However, there are too many coincidences. I’m afraid things aren’t that simple. You still have to investigate this girl’s background. Find out as much as you can. It’s never wrong to be careful.”

“Yes, Old Master!” Old Jiang quickly agreed.

“In that case, I’ll go and bring your personal belongings over. It’s impossible for Liu Ming not to know that there’s something wrong with the servants here. I think it’s probably because Eldest Young Master didn’t let him clean it up. Eldest Young Master is disappointed in everyone, so he did not try to remove those eyes in a fit of pique,” Old Jiang carefully defended Liu Ming.

Mu Chen snorted. “Even if Mu Ci did it out of anger, Liu Ming should have known better. Can’t he tell how dangerous this is? The most hateful thing is that someone actually wants to kill Mu Ci. The culprit really has to be taken out! If I don’t interfere, he might die one day!”

The more Mu Chen thought about it, the angrier he became. He could not help but clutch his chest and cough twice.

“Old Master, don’t be angry. Please don’t be angry.” Old Jiang quickly went forward to comfort Mu Chen.

Mu Chen slowly sat down on the sofa with Old Jiang’s support. “I’m old and useless. I’ve been soft-hearted all these years because I wanted to give these juniors a chance. The ones that are doing well, have gone over their heads. As for the ones that are average, they are taking the wrong path. If Mu Ci can get better, I wouldn’t have to worry, right? Sigh. I really don’t know what kind of malicious deeds we have done for such retribution to fall on Mu Ci. He’s still so young…”

Old Jiang comforted him, “Old Master, you can’t think like that. The children and grandchildren have to walk their own paths. Just look at Eldest Young Madam. I think she’s a very good person. Eldest Young Master has encountered great misfortune, but he has found a good wife. Wasn’t that what you kept hoping for?”

This time, Mu Chen did not speak. He leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes. “You go ahead and do your work. I’ll sit here for a while and wait to see if anything will happen to Mu Ci. Oh yes. Tell Mu Guo to bring his wife back.” 𝗳𝔯𝒆e𝘸𝗲𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃𝘦l. 𝒄o𝓂

At the mention of his son and wife, Mu Chen’s tone was indifferent. His heart was also indifferent, and there was an indescribable disappointment.

Old Jiang retreated silently.

Having been by Old Master Mu’s side for his entire life, he could sense every emotion the old man had. No one could get involved regarding matters between father and son.

Old Jiang went downstairs. It took a little convincing before Mu Guo and Duan Si agreed to leave.

Mu Guo was easy to deal with. He was busy with official matters and did not have much time to pretend to be a kind father here. Even if he did, no one would believe him.

Duan Si had gotten embarrassed today. She knew that the spies she had left here would be taken out today. She naturally had trouble accepting the facts.

Her originally peaceful life was suddenly interrupted by a country girl who married her son to counteract bad luck. As Madam Mu and Mu Ci’s mother, her authority was greatly challenged. This country girl did not take her seriously at all. She could not tolerate this!

If her daughter-in-law was Song Nan, how could she receive such treatment?

If the doctors did not say Mu Ci had less than half a year to live, she would have definitely made Song Nan marry into the family and be her daughter-in-law. Even though her eldest son did not care about her, it did not matter. It would be no different if she found herself a considerate daughter-in-law who would take her side!

However, Mu Ci did not have long to live. She could not harm Song Nan and let the girl she had doted on since she was young become a widow at such a young age.

But even so, she could not let that lowly country girl take advantage of him!

“No! I want to stay too. I’m worried about that girl taking care of Mu Ci! Who knows if she will have any bad intentions?” Duan Si refused to leave with Mu Guo.
