Chapter 273: Mother and the Two Sister-in-Laws Are Waiting for You to Return

"Seventh Brother, trust Ninth Sister-in-Law; her medical skills are truly excellent."

To prove his words, Fourth Brother deliberately pushed himself up with his elbows.

"Look at me; when Ninth Brother and the others rescued me, I was like a puddle of mud. Now, I can sit up."

Seventh Brother looked at Fourth Brother, who was leaning against the headboard: "Yes, I need to recover quickly too."

Seeing their renewed confidence, Mo Jiuye encouraged them, "You will definitely get better. Mother and the two sister-in-laws will be overjoyed to see you alive and well."

Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother were already weak, and after being injected with sedatives by He Zhiran, they felt drowsy upon waking.

If it weren't for the reunion with their brothers, they might have succumbed to sleep long ago.

After talking for so long, their eyes were gradually closing.

Mo Jiuye stood up: "Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, rest for a while. I'll have Shunzi come in to watch over you."

The two brothers also felt sorry for the hard work of Ninth Brother and his wife, so they agreed and let them go back to rest.

Lan'er and Yu'er were currently staying in their room, so the couple went directly to a secluded spot in the backyard and then entered the space.

Although Mo Jiuye had been worried about his brothers, he hadn't forgotten that his wife was unhappy.

Once inside the space, he pulled her into his arms.

"Ranran, are you angry?"

He Zhiran wasn't one to hold grudges, and if Mo Jiuye hadn't asked, she would have forgotten about the incident at the Crown Prince Residence.

Moreover, she trusted Mo Jiuye's feelings for her, knowing he wouldn't entertain any improper thoughts for other women.

Even if he did, she, He Zhiran, wouldn't be afraid. In modern times, many couples divorced due to relationship issues or infidelity, but she would never settle for less.

Of course, this was just her bottom line for marriage. Currently, their relationship was harmonious, and she didn't need to worry about such things.

However, since he brought it up, she couldn't resist giving him a warning.

"I won't tolerate any sand in my eyes. If one day you no longer care for me, just say it outright."

I can leave calmly...

Seeing her say this, Mo Jiuye became even more anxious.

"Ranran, I, Mo Jiuye, swear that I will love only you in this life. If I ever change my heart, may lightning strike..."

"Alright, I know. Don't say anymore." He Zhiran covered his mouth with her small hand, preventing him from finishing.

Mo Jiuye held her tighter.

"My dear Ranran, you're the most understanding."

He Zhiran rolled her eyes, wondering when this man had become so sweet-talking.

Just as they were about to embrace each other intimately, Fántuánér ran over inappropriately.

The little one barked a few times toward the direction of the pasture, signaling them to look.

In recent days, they had been preoccupied with their brothers' conditions and hadn't been in the mood for intimacy. If not for the moment, they wouldn't have chosen this time to do anything.

Now, Fántuánér's arrival was like a bucket of cold water poured over them.

He Zhiran pushed Mo Jiuye away first, and he reluctantly released her.

Together, they walked toward the pasture. Upon closer inspection, they found that the dairy cows had given birth.

These cows had been raised by He Zhiran before she came to the Northwest, and she had been too busy to check on them recently.

With the cows giving birth, they now had fresh milk from the space to drink.

In ancient times, milk was an excellent tonic for the severely weakened brothers.

He Zhiran approached the milking station and milked a large bucket of milk.

Before leaving the space early in the morning, she boiled the milk and brought it back to the backyard.

Lan'er and Yu'er had also woken up and were sweeping the courtyard.

Seeing Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran return from the backyard with a steaming wooden bucket, they assumed they had stayed at a nearby inn last night and brought back breakfast.

Lan'er put aside the broom and said apologetically, "It's our fault that Ninth Master and Ninth Lady had to stay at an inn."

He Zhiran waved her hand. "No worries; it doesn't matter where we stay." She then asked, "Was everything peaceful last night?"

Lan'er nodded. "Everything was fine."

With that, Lan'er called Yu'er over to take the wooden bucket from Mo Jiuye.

As soon as they took the bucket, they smelled the fragrance of milk.

In this era, although milk was a precious commodity, palace-born maidservants like them were familiar with it.

"Ninth Master, Ninth Lady, did you buy milk?"

He Zhiran vaguely replied, "We happened to come across someone selling it, so we bought some."

To prevent further questioning, He Zhiran urged, "Take it to the kitchen first. Send a bowl to Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother each, and you should all have some too. There's plenty for everyone."

The two maidservants did not expect that Ninth Lady would be so generous, sharing such precious milk with them.

Their hearts immediately warmed, and it was no wonder that the princess had entrusted them to Ninth Master and Ninth Lady before she passed away.

The princess was always the best judge of character, and Ninth Lady was certainly not the type of mistress who was petty and cruel.

Thinking about this, Lan'er and Yu'er felt less resistant to their future lives.

He Zhiran was unaware of their thoughts. After drinking a bowl of milk, she personally prepared breakfast for her two brothers-in-law.

It was still a balanced meal, as their bodies were too weak. It would not take long before they had to return to the Northwest.

With so many new members joining, their large G-class vehicle would no longer suffice. Traveling by carriage would be inevitable, and if they did not quickly improve their health, He Zhiran worried that they might not endure the journey's bumps and jolts.

After preparing breakfast, He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye chatted with their two elder brothers in the room. The conversation mainly revolved around finding the other Mo family siblings and their lives in the Northwest.

Meanwhile, in the palace of Nanzheng.

The Crown Prince stood in the center of the hall, his face filled with helplessness and anger.

"Father, I do not know who has such incredible abilities to have completely emptied my Crown Prince Residence."

This matter had been reported to the Emperor of Nanzheng last night when the Crown Prince sent people to seek help from the palace. However, the ministers present were unaware of it.

Upon hearing the Crown Prince's statement, everyone found it unbelievable.

Especially given that this Crown Prince, who was all show and no substance, often engaged in unreliable behavior, few believed what he said.

However, seeing the Emperor's furrowed brows, it seemed unlikely to be a lie.

Just as the entire court was puzzled, someone came to report that messages had arrived from the border.
