Chapter 238: 238 Delivering dicine (Second Update)
After all, she was about to beco the fiancée of the Mo family’s patriarch.
Compared to the Mo family, what counted the life-saving benefactor of Mo Qianjue?
Li Ruyu nodded with a smile in her eyes and said, "Alright, alright, let’s go now. Old Sun has been waiting outside."
"Old Sun, to Phoenix Manor." Once they were in the car, Li Ruyu instructed the driver.
Phoenix Manor.
A well-known gathering place for the powerful in Capital City, those who lived there were people who could hold up half the sky in Capital City.
Just thinking about how she would soon be living at Phoenix Manor long-term made Zhao Yiling’s heart race uncontrollably.
By then, she would be the envy of all the famous young ladies in Capital City!
The car was fast and, after about twenty minutes, the black rcedes stopped at the grand entrance of Phoenix Manor.
Gazing at the majestic gates of the manor, Zhao Yiling took a deep breath, and her recently cald heart began to flutter again.
"Mom, can you check if my makeup has sared or if my hairdo is ssed up?" Zhao Yiling looked nervously at Li Ruyu.
After all, she was about to et her future mother-in-law, so Zhao Yiling was, naturally, a bit anxious.
Li Ruyu shook her head with great affection, "No, no, my daughter is the most beautiful."
Mother and daughter, both smiling, walked towards the interior of Phoenix Manor, but as they approached the gate, they were stopped by two imposing guards.
"Excuse , ladies, please present your passes!"
"Passes?" Li Ruyu frowned slightly. "What passes?"
"Without a pass, no one is allowed inside!"
"What a joke!" Li Ruyu snorted coldly, lifting her chin in arrogance, "Do you know who I am? I am the prospective in-law of Old Master Mo! This is my daughter, the future daughter-in-law of the Mo family. You must be blind as dogs, not even recognizing who you’re dealing with! Be careful I don’t make you lose your jobs!"
One guard, with a stone-faced expression, repeated, "Without a pass, no one is allowed inside!"
Facing such resolute guards, Li Ruyu’s face turned red with anger!
She, a noblewoman from a prominent family, had never suffered such humiliation.
A re gatekeeper daring to stop her! It was simply ridiculous!
Zhao Yiling patted Li Ruyu’s hand, then looked up at the guards with a soft voice, "Could you give us a little leeway? We really are important guests of Old Master Mo’s wife. Please let us through."
"No, can’t do," the guard shook his head, "Without a pass, no one can enter. It’s our duty. We hope you understand."
"What if we insist on going in!"
As she said this, Li Ruyu attempted to barge in with Zhao Yiling in tow.
Only when two cold guns were positioned in front of them did the expressions of both Li Ruyu and Zhao Yiling change as they quickly retreated several ters.
"Mom, think of sothing," Zhao Yiling said, a bit frantic, "Maybe you can call Old Master Mo’s wife to co out and get us."
Li Ruyu sighed, "I don’t have Old Master Mo’s wife’s contact information."
Both tis, it had been Old Master Mo’s wife who had co to her of her own accord. Apart from knowing that the Mo family’s old residence was in Phoenix Manor, she knew nothing else about the Mo family.
She had thought that as long as they could get into Phoenix Manor smoothly, that would be enough. She had not anticipated the guards here to be so strict.
Even a gatekeeper could carry a gun!
The Mo family was truly formidable!
"So, what do we do now?" Zhao Yiling hadn’t expected this outco. Her heart, filled with excitent upon arriving, was now faced with the realization that they couldn’t even get through the gates of Phoenix Manor. "Did we co here for nothing today?"
"Ling’er," Li Ruyu glanced at Zhao Yiling, "Let’s go back for now. I’ll think of a way to contact Old Master Mo’s wife when we get ho."
Although she didn’t want to just go back like this, there was nothing else they could do at the mont other than returning.
Reluctant to leave just yet, Zhao Yiling suggested, "Mom, let’s wait in the car for a while. Maybe Old Master Mo’s wife will co out later."
Seeing her daughter like this, Li Ruyu couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded, "Alright, let’s wait in the car then."
The mother and daughter got into the car, but unfortunately, they waited for a long ti without seeing the Mo family matriarch co out.
**
Goryeo Nation.
A well-known costic surgery hospital.
Inside a VIP ward.
A middle-aged woman was feeding porridge to a young woman whose face was wrapped in gauze.
"Nannan, the Ninth Mada called today."
Hearing this, the young woman quickly swallowed the porridge, "Mom, what did the Ninth Mada say?"
The Ninth Mada’s initiative in calling must surely an there was so new situation to inform them about.
The middle-aged woman spoke slowly, "The Ninth Mada has found a dicine that can rapidly heal wounds, reducing your recovery period from three months to one month. Soone will deliver it today."
"Cutting down from three months to one month?" The young woman expressed her apprehension, "But won’t such a shortcut dicine have any side effects on the human body?"
The full-body modification surgery was already impactful on the human body and might even shorten one’s lifespan. Now she worried her body couldn’t handle taking such shortcut dicine.
"What are you afraid of?" The middle-aged woman glanced at her, her tone sowhat harsh, "Could the Ninth Mada harm you? Don’t you want to recover sooner, return to Capital City earlier, and complete the task the Ninth Mada has given you?"
"Mom, don’t be angry," the young woman clasped her mother’s hand, "I just said it casually without any other aning. When the Ninth Mada sends the dicine, I’ll take it."
"That’s more like it." The middle-aged woman nodded, satisfied, and spoke with a heavy heart, "Nannan, Mom is doing this for your own good. If it were anyone else, Mom wouldn’t even spare them a second glance. I’ve already arranged with Doctor Zhao, once you’ve taken the dicine the Ninth Mada sends, we’ll proceed with the leg-lengthening surgery. Let’s aim to leave the hospital next month."
"So soon?" The young woman asked in surprise, "Didn’t you say we have to wait for the gauze to be removed before doing the leg-lengthening surgery?"
The middle-aged woman smiled, "Isn’t the Ninth Mada’s Miracle Drug here? As long as you take the Miracle Drug the Ninth Mada sends over, maybe you can remove the gauze this afternoon."
Just the thought of her daughter recovering two months earlier filled the middle-aged woman’s eyes with a bright light.
The young woman nodded, "Okay, Mom, I understand."
While they were talking,
’Knock, knock, knock’ a rhythtic knocking broke the relative silence of the ward.
The middle-aged woman imdiately got up to open the door and saw a young woman in a blue dress standing there. The visitor’s eyes showed a flicker of confusion when looking at the middle-aged woman, but she soon spoke quite politely, "Hello, may I speak to Miss Shen Minjie?"
"Yes, yes, that’s ," the middle-aged woman answered eagerly, nodding, "Are you the one sent by the Ninth Mada?"
Jia Zhuo gave a slight nod and handed over the porcelain bottle she was holding, "Right, the Ninth Mada asked
to deliver this to you."
This middle-aged woman was obviously a mundane person of extre ordinariness; how could Chuyi be involved with a commoner? And why the urgency to send dicine over such a great distance?
Although Jia Zhuo was puzzled, her expression betrayed none of her thoughts.
"It’s been a long journey for you, Miss," Shen Minjie said as she took the porcelain bottle happily, then continued, "May I ask if the Ninth Mada had any other ssages for ?"
Jia Zhuo shook her head, "No, that’s all." After saying that, she turned and left.
Watching Jia Zhuo’s receding figure, Shen Minjie couldn’t help but inwardly remark with admiration, the people following the Ninth Mada were indeed of the finest ttle in appearance and deanor.
"Mom, has the Ninth Mada arrived?" Hearing Shen Minjie’s footsteps, the young woman inquired.
Shen Minjie’s lips curved slightly, "Such a person of the Ninth Mada’s status? How could she possibly co to a place like this herself? It was one of her subordinates."
Saying that, Shen Minjie unscrewed the cap of the porcelain bottle, poured out a black pill, and brought it to the young woman’s lips, "Co on, open your mouth and take the dicine."
The young woman hesitated for a mont and then gently opened her mouth, allowing the black pill to quickly dissolve in her mouth.
It wasn’t as bitter as imagined; in fact, it tasted quite sweet.
