    Chapter 390: Thank You, Ninth Sister-in-Law

    Fortunately, after a thorough examination, the toxin in Mo Qing's body was about one centimeter away from the larva.

    Given the rate at which the toxin was spreading, it would be at least a month before the larva and the toxin would converge.

    A month was enough time for He Zhiran to help Mo Qing detoxify and then recuperate before removing the larva.

    Mo Jiuye watched He Zhiran deep in thought and asked, "Ranran, how is it?"

    He Zhiran gently patted his arm. "The situation is better than expected. I'll find the necessary medications to help Father detoxify now."

    One significant characteristic of this poison was that the person poisoned could not engage in strenuous activities; otherwise, it would accelerate the spread of the toxin.

    He Zhiran had also observed Mo Qing's movements and curled legs, confirming that he had been repeating the same action daily in the tomb, likely without any intense physical activity. Otherwise, his legs wouldn't have ended up in such a state.

    Currently, He Zhiran's plan was to slowly improve her father-in-law's health, as well as remove the larva whenever possible. The immediate priority was to detoxify him.

    Upon hearing that his wife could detoxify his father, Mo Jiuye was overjoyed but quickly asked, "What about the larva?"

    He Zhiran pointed to the location of the larva within Mo Qing's body.

    "It's close to the heart, and based on the examination, the larva is deeply embedded. Removing it surgically would cause massive bleeding."

    Given Mo Qing's current condition, excessive bleeding would be life-threatening.

    Mo Jiuye was stunned by He Zhiran's explanation.

    "Does that mean Father's larva can't be removed?"

    "It's not that it can't be removed. First, we need to get Father's health to a point where he can withstand surgery."

    After hearing He Zhiran's explanation, Mo Jiuye felt a glimmer of hope.

    "Alright, thank you, Ranran."

    At this moment, saying anything else would seem insincere. Even though he worried about his heavily pregnant wife, there was no other choice.

    He Zhiran's medical room did not have the serum needed to detoxify Mo Qing, so she had to purchase it from Taobao Mall.

    For some reason, perhaps due to modern medicine no longer using this toxin, Taobao Mall did not sell the serum.

    He Zhiran pondered for a moment and opened the chat with Xiao Xiaoshoujia.

    "Hello, I need your help. Please respond as soon as possible."

    Since Xiao Xiaoshoujia had helped her several times before, they often communicated.

    Xiao Xiaoshoujia had set He Zhiran's messages as a special alert.

    Thus, He Zhiran received an immediate response.

    "I'm here. What do you need help with?"

    He Zhiran: "I need a specific serum available only in H City."

    Xiao Xiaoshoujia: "I happen to be in H City on a business trip. Send me the address, and I'll buy it for you right away."

    He Zhiran quickly sent the detailed address and the full name of the serum.

    "Thank you. We urgently need it to save someone."

    Xiao Xiaoshoujia: "Okay, I'll go buy it immediately."

    He Zhiran didn't know how long it would take Xiao Xiaoshoujia to get the serum. Her phone couldn't receive messages outside the space, so she had to stay inside to wait.

    Since they entered the space from the carriage, if her brothers became impatient and opened the carriage door without seeing them, it would be hard to explain.

    Therefore, He Zhiran decided to leave the space with Mo Jiuye and her father, waiting in the carriage for a while.

    During this time, she would occasionally enter the space to check if Xiao Xiaoshoujia had any updates.

    Not long after they left the space, someone knocked on the carriage door from outside.

    "Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-Law, how is Father?" It was the voice of the eldest brother.

    Although Mo Jiuye had clearly instructed them not to disturb his sister-in-law while she treated their father, the anxiety was unbearable.

    Especially since they had been in the carriage for so long without any news, the brothers were growing increasingly anxious.

    Mo Jiuye reluctantly opened the carriage door, finding all his brothers looking anxiously.

    "Eldest Brother, Ranran just examined Father and found that he has a chronic toxin. His condition isn't good.

    She is currently trying to prepare an antidote. Please don't worry."

    Hearing that their father had a chronic toxin was like adding insult to injury.

    Their father's condition was already worrying enough, and now this...

    "Ninth Sister-in-Law, can Father's toxin be cured?"

    The second brother, ignoring Mo Jiuye's instructions, wanted to know if their father could survive.

    He Zhiran understood the brothers' anxiety. Anyone would struggle to remain calm when a loved one's life was in danger.

    "I am trying to prepare an antidote. If successful, it should cure Father."

    He Zhiran didn't want to promise too much, as Taobao Mall didn't have the serum, and if Xiao Xiaoshoujia couldn't get it either, it would give false hope.

    Although the brothers were not versed in medicine, they could tell from their father's frail condition that his health was indeed dire.

    Although Ninth Sister-in-Law did not guarantee that she could cure Father, they all knew she was doing her best to find a solution.

    Eldest Brother stepped forward and bowed deeply to He Zhiran.

    "Thank you, Ninth Sister-in-Law."

    Seeing this, the other brothers followed suit, bowing sincerely to He Zhiran.

    "Thank you, Ninth Sister-in-Law..."

    Meanwhile, the Mo brothers all felt the same sense of guilt as Mo Jiuye.

    Now that Ninth Sister-in-Law was pregnant with the hope of their Mo family and appeared close to giving birth, it was truly fortunate for the entire Mo family that Ninth Brother had married such a righteous wife.

    Being thanked by so many heroic brothers made He Zhiran feel a bit embarrassed.

    She waved her hand.

    "We are all family. Saving Father's life is my duty, so there's no need for you brothers to be so formal.

    Also, if I am interrupted while developing the antidote, all my efforts will be wasted. So, I'll have to trouble you brothers to guard this place."

    He Zhiran might need to enter the space later, so she had to make the situation clear beforehand. Otherwise, if the brothers became anxious and knocked on the door, it would be troublesome.

    Though she didn't explicitly say not to disturb her, everyone understood her meaning.

    "Ninth Sister-in-Law, rest assured. With us brothers here, not only will no one disturb you, but not even a fly will get through," Eight Brother promised, patting his chest.

    At this moment, Eight Brother still felt a bit guilty. When he saw Ninth Brother, he realized that he had been tricked into coming to the Western Region by Ninth Sister-in-Law.
