The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion-Chapter 453: Step by Step
Chapter 453
The chapter was posted incorrectly. Chapter 452 - if you can't find it, jump back two chapters to find it. The author was careless. Please understand, my friends.
At that time, he still thought he would be blamed by Fei Nanyu, but he did not know that Fei Nanyu was not very interested in the Mo Family's situation.
He only appreciated Mo Jiuye's abilities and hoped to make use of him one day. That's why he wanted to keep up with the Mo Family's developments from time to time.
Therefore, even if Meng Huaining told Fei Nanyu about the Mo Family's situation, Fei Nanyu would not make things difficult for the Mo Family. On the contrary, he might even lend a helping hand.
For example, with the letter that Little White brought back, if Fei Nanyu did not value Mo Jiuye highly, he would not have passed on that message.
Even for the sake of his beloved young wife, Meng Huaining decided to support the Mo Family.
But he also knew clearly that supporting the Mo Family one day could mean rebelling, of course this was also Meng Huaining preparing for the worst.
If the Mo Family could come up with other ways to resolve these crises, everything would naturally be resolved.
Meng Huaining looked very solemn: "Ninth brother, no matter what happens to the Mo Family, please believe me, I will definitely stand by your side.
Also, when I get promoted in Yun City in the future, I will pay more attention. As soon as there is any sign of trouble, I will have eighth brother send the news back immediately."
As for other things, since the Mo Family did not let him participate, there was not much else he could do at the moment.
Mo Jiuye patted him on the shoulder, "The Mo Family does not intend to offend the Emperor. Even when our whole family was exiled to the northwest back then, we never had any other intentions.
Our whole family went through great hardships to finally reunite. From now on, we just want to live a safe and peaceful life.
But some people just don't want the Mo Family to live well. For the sake of my family, some things may be unavoidable."
"Ninth brother, I understand everything you said. Nothing stays the same forever. For now, we can take it one step at a time."
"Mm, that's what we think too. No matter how those in power struggle in the royal court, as long as the Mo Family is not implicated, I will choose to turn a blind eye."
As the two were talking, Nan Rui hurried over from the direction of the village.
"Young Master Mo, I have been looking everywhere for you. Turns out you were here."
Seeing that it was Nan Rui, Meng Huaining greeted him and then left to give them space.
"What brings you looking for me, Rui?" Mo Jiuye's eyebrows relaxed naturally, and he had a carefree look about him, as if nothing had happened these past few days.
Nan Rui walked up to him and took out a note from his robe to hand to him.
"This is the latest news from the capital city sent by my people."
Mo Jiuye unfolded the note. Although the contents were not as detailed as what Fei Nanyu had written, they were roughly the same - all talking about the Empress adopting the Fourth Prince.
Mo Jiuye handed the note back to Nan Rui, deliberately pretending not to understand.
"The Empress adopted the Fourth Prince. These are matters of your imperial family. Why tell me about this news?"
He didn't know if Nan Rui could see through his ruse, but Nan Rui said:
"Even before Nan Heng went missing, I noticed the Empress's clan was always targeting the Mo Family. Later, when Nan Heng disappeared, the Empress no longer had capital to compete and quieted down a lot.
I thought she would withdraw from the fight, but I didn't expect her to adopt a Fourth Prince now.
This shows that she and her maternal clan have not given up on that position. Everyone in court knows you have a good relationship with Nan Qi. Now that it is Nan Qi's time to appoint people, she will definitely spare no effort to eliminate anyone who can help Nan Qi."
I'm telling you this news so that you can be prepared after understanding.
No matter Nan Rui's motives for informing him, Mo Jiuye was grateful.
This was no trivial matter. If Fei Nanyu had not sent Little White with a letter, he might not have gotten the news from Nan Rui at all.
"Thank you for letting me know, Rui. I will be more careful."
Seeing that Mo Jiuye still seemed indifferent, Nan Rui thought he did not take the matter to heart.
But he would still do what he should.
"I came to notify you of this news, and also - I plan to return to the capital city tomorrow."
"Return to the capital city?" Mo Jiuye was somewhat surprised.
Ever since Nan Rui brought the Consort De to the northwest, no matter how Mo Jiuye tried to probe, the other party never showed any intention of returning to the capital city. His behavior today was quite puzzling.
Nan Rui revealed a sincere smile.
"My mother also found out about things in the capital city.
She said it was the Mo Family who saved her life. Now that the Mo Family is in crisis, she asked me to do my best to help resolve it."
He paused, then continued:
"As you know, there is no longer a Consort De in the palace now. I brought my mother away back then precisely because I did not intend to set foot in that pit of intrigue again.
So this time when I return to the capital, I cannot bring my mother along. I can only trouble you and your family to take good care of her, so that I can handle things in the capital city without worries." 𝔣𝖗𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝔟𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖊𝔩.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Upon hearing this, Mo Jiuye could fully ascertain that Nan Rui truly harbored no ill intentions toward the Mo Family.
Not only that, he really wanted to help the Mo Family.
One must understand - Aunt Mei was the most important person in Nan Rui's life. If not so, he would not have committed the crime of deceiving the Emperor by faking her death, and then abandoned glory and wealth to bring her to this barren place to live incognito.
On the surface, Nan Rui said he asked the Mo Family to help take care of things as a favor. But in reality, Nan Rui had entrusted his greatest weakness to the Mo Family.
This was also Nan Rui's way of indicating his stand - I'm going to the capital city to repay your life-saving grace to my mother. I will never do anything to wrong the Mo Family.
Seeing Nan Rui like this, Mo Jiuye could not help but feel grateful.
However, Nan Rui and his mother had finally attained the life they wanted after much difficulty. He could not selfishly ask Nan Rui to continue wading in the muddy waters of court politics.
"I understand your kind intentions, Rui. Aunt Mei is advanced in years and in poor health. You two finally managed to leave that place after great difficulty. You should not court danger for our sake again."
But Nan Rui insisted.
"My mother and I have always been at a loss as to how to repay your life-saving grace. Now there is finally a chance. I cannot just sit by idly."
Seeing Nan Rui's solemn expression, he had clearly made up his mind. Mo Jiuye did not try to dissuade him further.
Moreover, having such a person to help in the capital city would be a huge boon for the Mo Family.
"The political climate in the capital is about to change. If you get involved, it will only hasten the struggle between the Empress's faction and Nan Qi.
If something goes wrong, you may get embroiled as well. Have you considered how to handle it?"
Mo Jiuye's words were rather euphemistic, but Nan Rui understood.
Everyone would think he had reappeared in the capital city for the sake of that position.
