Mo Jiuye did not tell Nan Rui that he could not send his precious wife to the forefront at this time.
Although what Nan Rui said can withstand scrutiny, in any case, Nan Rui has done things that are detrimental to the Mohist family.
If he knew that Ran Ran could undo poison, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't have any evil thoughts.
"The person who helped myna remove the poison was an expert from outside the world. Now I don't know his whereabouts."
Nan Rui was a little anxious after hearing this, and finally found someone who could use other methods to remove the poison, but Mo Jiuye didn't know his whereabouts.
"Can you give me some clues?"
Mo Jiuye didn't want to completely seal the matter. If helping Nan Rui's concubine to remove the poison would be beneficial to him, he would still consider letting Ran Ran take action.
"The person who helped my Eighth Brother remove the poison has a weird personality. He doesn't like to meet strangers, and he also doesn't show his true colors to others. If I rashly tell others his whereabouts, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the Mo family."
Nan Rui sincerely promised: "I swear, as long as you can help me find the master who can remove poison, I will agree to whatever you want me to do."
Mo Jiuye was not in a hurry to express his position on this. He had to discuss such a big matter with Ran Ran before making an answer.
"If King Rui is not in a hurry to leave these days, I will try to contact the expert. If there is any news, I will inform you as soon as possible."
Mo Jiuye also had a reason for doing this.
He wanted to follow the clues of Nan Rui to find the mysterious man with gray hair and childish face. Only by finding that man could he learn the news about the eldest brother and the second brother.
Seeing that Mo Jiuye was willing to help him find a way, Nan Rui stood up excitedly, even forgetting that he was a prince.
He bowed deeply to Mo Jiuye.
"As long as I can help my mother and concubine get rid of the poison, I can do anything you want."
Many nobles in the capital knew about Nan Rui's filial piety.
Nan Rui's mother and son were not favored in the palace since childhood. It can be said that the mother and son have survived until now by hugging each other for warmth. One can also imagine Nan Rui's feelings for his mother and concubine.
Mo Jiuye stood up directly: "Three days later, it will still be this place. I will give His Highness Prince Rui news."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for your good news here."
Mo Jiuye stopped looking at Nan Rui, took He Zhiran's little hand and stood up: "Bago, let's go back."
Several people did not return to Xiling Village immediately, but went to the county government office.
At this time, Meng Huaining had already taken care of the aftermath of smallpox. When he saw a few people coming back, he made arrangements to entertain them a dinner.
As for Nan Rui, they didn't come looking for him and just ignored him.
Mo Jiuye politely refused.
"Thank you Brother Meng for your kindness. However, we have been out all day and my mother at home will be anxious, so I won't bother you here today."
Meng Huaining did not force him to stay: "In that case, brother, I will send you out."
The three of them got on the mule cart. Mo Jiuye and Mo Chuhan looked around carefully. After seeing that there was no problem around them, they drove the mule cart straight to Xiling Village.
Nan Rui is here, and even if they believe most of what he says, there is always a possibility of eventuality.
In this regard, they felt it was better to be cautious.
Back in Xiling Village, the family was really anxious. Mrs. Mo, accompanied by her fifth son, anxiously looked into the distance at the entrance of the village.
If they don't come back, the old man plans to ask Mo Zhongyuan to go to Yuncheng to look for them.
Mo Zhongyuan is a martial arts practitioner, so his ears are naturally much stronger than those of ordinary people.
When the mule cart was still some distance away from the village entrance, he heard a noise and helped Mrs. Mo to meet it.
The mule cart was moving very quickly, and soon it appeared in Mrs. Mo's sight.
Mo Jiuye didn't bother to explain too much, and first sent her mother into the carriage with He Zhiran, while the fifth brother and eighth brother walked home.
In the carriage, He Zhiran told her mother-in-law about her encounter with Tang Mingrui today and the smallpox incident. After all, there must be a reason why they came back so late.
As for Nan Rui's visit to Yuncheng, He Zhiran did not intend to tell Mrs. Mo, so as not to cause more trouble to the old lady.
When I got home, the furniture I bought in the city had already been delivered, and everyone had arranged it properly. The sisters-in-law had also prepared the meals, and the whole family was waiting for them to come back for dinner.
Fantuan'er was playing with some little rabbits in the room with Mo Hanyue, but when she felt the owner's aura, she ran out rolling and crawling.
As a result, the moment he saw He Zhiran, the little guy didn't throw himself into her arms like before. Instead, he came to her side and awkwardly refused to look at her.
He Zhiran couldn't help laughing and picked up the little guy.
"Fantuan'er, are you having trouble with me?"
The rice ball turned its head away again, determined not to look at its owner.
He Zhiran was immediately amused by this little guy.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. Can't we give you something delicious later?"
Is there anything delicious?
After all, the rice ball could not resist the temptation of delicious food. It slowly turned its chubby little body and rubbed it vigorously in its owner's arms.
He Zhiran coaxed the awkward little cutie away, and after dinner, he took Mo Jiuye and the little guy into the space.
She took out carrots, apples and pumpkins directly from the warehouse for the rice balls to eat, and then a thought sent the little one to its exclusive bamboo forest.
Seeing that his wife was free, Mo Jiuye asked, "What do you think about removing the poison from Concubine Nan Rui?"
The reason why he didn't agree to Nan Rui immediately was because he wanted to consult his wife's opinion privately.
If his wife disagrees, he will not force her to do anything no matter what benefit the Mo family has.
He Zhiran could guess some of Mo Jiuye's thoughts.
"Are you planning to follow Nan Rui's relationship to find that person?"
Mo Jiuye nodded: "I do have such an idea."
"It's okay for you to think so. If Concubine Nan Rui can really remove the poison, he will no longer be under that person's control, and it will be easier to do things then.
Also, Nan Rui placed the hope of helping his mother and concubine to get rid of the poison here. I believe that he will not publicize the Mo family's affairs after he returns, but it can temporarily silence his mouth.
But, do you really trust Nan Rui that much?" This was the real question He Zhiran was thinking about.
After all, neither she nor the original owner knew enough about Nan Rui. How to judge whether he was an enemy or a friend still required Mo Jiuye to weigh it himself.
"I carefully considered what Nari said, and there is no contradiction between these comparisons, so I can conclude that what he said is true.
But this does not rule out that Nan Rui did this deliberately to retreat in order to advance. Regardless of the purpose of his trip to the northwest, I just want to achieve my goal first.
As for what happens next, we can only guess what we will do."
He Zhiran completely agreed with what Mo Jiuye said.
From Nan Rui's description of the mysterious man, we can conclude that this man behaves very strangely and does not show his true face. It will not be easy to find him.
Therefore, the third brother may not gain much from this trip. Now that they have clues to find the mysterious person, they cannot let this thread be broken under any circumstances.
