The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion Chapter 12: It will happen sooner or later
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye ignored his injuries and imdiately sat up in bed. “What on earth happened?”
He Zhiran knew that Mo Jiuye was anxious, so she recounted everything that had happened and her guesses word for word.
“Can you think of who might have ordered Old Mrs. Liu to poison ?”
Mo Jiuye frowned, and a fierce look flashed through his eyes from ti to ti.
Although he didn't say a word, He Zhiran could tell from his expression that Mo Jiuye definitely had a suspect in mind.
He Zhiran had never been a nosy person, and she also considered that Mo Jiuye didn't completely trust her at this ti.
Since this was the case, she didn't intend to ask for trouble unnecessarily.
As long as he had a grasp on the situation, he would certainly take precautions in advance.
The room was silent for a long ti before He Zhiran pointed to the breakfast on the table and reminded, "The food is cold now. Take advantage of the fact that the emperor's n haven't arrived yet and hurry to eat sothing."
When the emperor's n were ntioned, Mo Jiuye looked outside.
"It's almost noon now."
He Zhiran also found it very strange. If history was not mistaken, the emperor would send people to raid the Duke of Protection's mansion early in the morning.
"Could it be delayed because of the theft from the imperial treasury?" She directly voiced her guess.
Mo Jiuye did not deny it.
"With the imperial treasury being robbed and set on fire, this is no trivial matter. His Majesty must be at his wits' end now and has no ti to bother with ."
His voice had just fallen when a servant ca to report that soone was requesting an audience with the duke's wife.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye looked at each other, both wondering who would co to see her on the second day after their wedding.
Moreover, the original owner rarely interacted with outsiders, so He Zhiran really couldn't think of who the visitor might be for a mont.
Mo Jiuye didn't help her decide whether to et the guest or not. Instead, he lowered his head and continued eating.
Obviously, he had left the decision to He Zhiran.
He Zhiran stood up, "I'll go out and take a look."
The visitor did not go to the main entrance of the duke's mansion, but to the small back door where the servants ca and went.
He Zhiran was led to the backyard by soone. The visitor was dressed like a household attendant and looked very familiar, but she couldn't rember who he was for the mont.
When the attendant saw He Zhiran, he quickly bowed respectfully, "Young Lady, the Old Master sent to find you."
Looking at the man's appearance, He Zhiran searched her mory carefully and confird that this person was a follower of her cheap father.
"Why did you co?"
"Young Lady, I have an important matter to report." As he spoke, he glanced at the person who had led He Zhiran over.
He Zhiran imdiately dismissed that person.
"What is it?" She had already roughly guessed, but still wanted to hear him confirm it personally.
The attendant whispered, "Young Lady, the Old Master asked to inform you that His Majesty will soon send people to raid the Duke's mansion. Please get ready in advance."
Sure enough!
"Did my father say when the emperor's n would arrive?"
"I don't know about that. The Old Master also asked to tell the Young Lady that as a daughter of the He family, you must not betray your faith. No matter what happens to the Duke of Protection's mansion, you cannot leave."
He Zhiran didn't take such an exhortation to heart at all. She had never intended to leave the Mo family anyway.
Since she couldn't get any more useful information from him, He Zhiran waved her hand to dismiss him.
Hearing this news directly was much more real than reading about it in history books.
He Zhiran didn't dare delay for a mont and hurried back to the bridal chamber.
Without waiting for Mo Jiuye to ask, she recounted the servant's ssage verbatim.
There was no visible anger or joy on Mo Jiuye's face. After a long silence, he coldly said, "What's bound to co will co sooner or later."
Although Mo Jiuye didn't show any emotion, He Zhiran could still hear the despair in his tone.
"Look on the bright side. As long as we work hard to survive, I believe the day we make it big will co eventually."
"Humph... As a grown man, I have to make my family of won suffer with . What day of making it big can I expect?" Mo Jiuye said sarcastically.
He Zhiran knew that Mo Jiuye was in low spirits at the mont, and no matter how much reason she gave, it would be of no use. She could only slowly counsel him in the future.
Just then, Eighth Sister-in-law's scream ca from outside, "Ah... Why are the water tank and big wok from the kitchen, as well as the things from the storeroom, all in Ninth Brother's ear room?"
He Zhiran was caught off guard. Due to her carelessness, soone had discovered the abnormalities in the ear room.
She knew best just how bad the situation was in there.
Basically all of the large items she had stored in her space were now in the ear room.
There were even so vases and ornants from the storeroom...
Now she was afraid she wouldn't be able to clear her na even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Mo Jiuye only slightly raised his eyes, and saw He Zhiran's panicked expression flash by in an instant.
"If they ask about it, just push everything onto ."
He Zhiran also only lost her composure for a mont before quickly calming down again.
Especially with Mo Jiuye taking the fall for her, she was even more emboldened.
When she arrived at the door of the ear room, she saw all the sisters-in-law and Old Lady Mo standing there.
Their expressions were almost identical, with their mouths wide open and eyes full of shock.
Seeing He Zhiran co over, Third Sister-in-law imdiately grabbed her arm.
"Ninth Sister, how did the things missing from our storeroom and kitchen end up here?"
He Zhiran put on a shocked expression like them, widening her eyes and shaking her head vigorously.
"They weren't like this when I ca to tidy up my dowry last night. Why did these things appear here?"
"This thief is too shaless! Stealing from the storeroom is one thing, but even taking such a big iron pot..." Sixth Sister-in-law said indignantly.
"That's right. They probably took everything they could grab, then felt it wasn't valuable enough and secretly dumped it all here."
"I just want to know, is this thief immortal? How could he move so many things here without making a sound?"
Listening to the sisters-in-law cursing the little thief, He Zhiran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
But at a ti like this, she didn't dare show her real emotions.
Just as she was about to say sothing more, Mo Jiuye walked over slowly and with difficulty.
"Don't guess anymore. It was who did this. I didn't want to let these things fall into strangers' hands, but then I thought we couldn't take so much with us anyway, so I just piled everything in the ear room."
Although his explanation was a bit far-fetched, no one wanted to scrutinize it.
After all, with Ninth Brother's abilities, doing these things would not be difficult for him.
Just as the eight sisters-in-law were about to praise Mo Jiuye for being capable, Old Lady Mo spoke up.
"That's enough. Since you and Ninth Sister did not forget to tidy up her dowry, don't bother with these unimportant things."
The sisters-in-law always listened most to the old lady's words. Seeing that she had spoken, they imdiately shut their mouths.
Mo Jiuye invited everyone into the room and inford them of the news brought by the He house servant.
The smiles on the sisters-in-laws' faces instantly vanished and beca serious.
