Chapter 394: Thank You for Saving Father's Life

Although he has suffered inhuman treatment for so many years, it is impossible that his organs have not been damaged, but there are no fatal issues.

At first, she was worried that her father-in-law’s illness could not be cured because the position of the worm was special, and she feared that Mo Qing’s weak condition might not allow him to wait until the day the worm could be removed.

Just now, she transfused plasma and nutrients into him in the space, and it seems that he absorbed them well, much better than when he first entered the space for examination.

Such a diagnosis would only come from He Ziran; if Mo Qing’s condition were treated by the doctors of this era, they would likely be powerless to save him.

Fortunately, with the help of the little collector, the serum was obtained in time to resolve Mo Qing’s chronic poisoning.

As for Mo Qing’s curled legs, He Ziran did not mention it in front of him.

This is different from the rest of his body; as long as he takes the right medication and follows a proper diet, recovery should not be difficult.

However, for his legs to fully recover to their former state, it will take a considerable amount of time.

She is concerned that mentioning this might affect his mood, which would not be beneficial for his recovery.

Once they return home, she can assist his recovery with acupuncture and physical therapy. In short, He Ziran is absolutely confident.

When the brothers outside heard that their father was out of danger, they gathered around again.

However, this time they knew their limits, aware that their ninth sister-in-law was in the carriage, so they only crowded at the door, peering inside.

"Ninth Sister-in-Law, thank you for saving Father’s life."

As the eldest son, Mo Junrui felt it necessary to express the brothers' gratitude, especially since Ninth Sister-in-Law had traveled such a long distance while heavily pregnant to help.

Not saying thank you would make him feel guilty for the hardships she endured on the journey.

In the Mo family, from childhood to adulthood, the eldest brother has always been the leader of the siblings. Seeing how the eldest brother acted, the other brothers also felt He Ziran’s efforts and joined in expressing their thanks.

He Ziran shared this information to let everyone understand Mo Qing’s condition, not to seek credit.

"Brothers, you’re too kind. Father’s condition is now stable, and with good care, everything will be fine."

Saying something like ‘no need to be so formal among family’ again would sound pretentious.

Knowing that the brothers were eager to see their father, she asked Mo Jiuye to help her down from the carriage, leaving the space for the father and sons.

Moreover, He Ziran understood that Mo Jiuye also wanted to stay by his father’s side, so after ensuring her safety, she sent Mo Jiuye back into the carriage.

Mo Qing had received too much information in his mind just now and now had countless questions to ask.

"Tell me about what happened over these eight years."

Among the brothers, Mo Jiuye was the most knowledgeable about the events of the past eight years, as the others had all experienced periods of lost consciousness during that time.

What they knew came from what Mo Jiuye had told them.

Therefore, when their father asked, everyone’s gaze fell on Mo Jiuye, waiting for him to recount the story.

Mo Qing had always left a strong impression on Mo Jiuye, so he did not hesitate much when narrating the Mo family’s experiences over the years.

"Ever since Father was captured by the people of Southern Jing and your head was hung on the city wall, the brothers gradually took over your responsibilities...

Last year, Emperor Shunwu finally could not hold back and took action against our Mo family. First, he lured me into the palace and beat me fifty times, and the next day, he issued an edict ordering the confiscation and exile of our entire family..."

Since they were safe now and the brothers were not in a hurry to travel, Mo Jiuye recounted the Mo family’s experiences in detail to their father.

Listening to Mo Jiuye’s account, Mo Qing was so angry that his veins bulged.

At the same time, a hint of disappointment could be seen in his eyes.

After a long pause, he said, "A ruler as incompetent as this, it’s better not to protect him!

But for so many years, you brothers and your mother must have suffered greatly, shedding many tears."

As the head of the family, even though Mo Qing was furious, he could not lose his composure like a younger person.

It took him a long time to regain his composure before speaking.

Especially thinking of his old wife, who had never had a peaceful day since marrying him—worrying about him in her youth and enduring the pain of losing her husband and children in her old age—made Mo Qing feel deeply guilty.

Now that he has been fortunate enough to be saved by his ninth son and daughter-in-law, and the Mo family has become ordinary citizens,

he is grateful to have the chance to live and no longer needs to worry about state affairs. He only wishes to spend his remaining years with his old wife.

Once the child in his daughter-in-law’s womb is born, he can enjoy the happiness of being a grandfather.

Inside the carriage, the father and sons talked about the Mo family’s experiences over the years, while He Ziran did not idle outside the carriage.

Considering her father’s health, she started a fire outside.

Fortunately, she had thought ahead and brought some cooking utensils and food in the carriage.

However, the food she had would not be very useful for Mo Qing’s recovery, so she quietly retrieved some from the space.

She didn’t need to worry about the food being noticed, as Mo Chuhan was rather careless and knew that she had put food in the carriage.

Thus, Mo Chuhan could serve as a witness.

She had heard from Mo Jiuye that Mo Qing had survived on the prey he hunted in Small Hill for all these years.

The eldest and second brothers were responsible for providing for the three of them there.

Of course, in such deep mountains, one could only hunt.

This meant that over the years, Mo Qing had consumed nothing but meat, whether raw or cooked.

His frailty was partly due to the chronic poison in his body, and also because Mr. Si Meng later lost control of his life-bound insect, leaving Mo Qing without food for a long time.

With this understanding, He Ziran believed that Mo Qing’s body did not suffer from the condition where it could not accept nourishment.

Especially since he had been living on a diet of meat for so many years, switching him to a vegetarian diet immediately might be too much for his stomach to handle.

Taking all this into consideration, He Ziran decided to prepare a nourishing meat soup for him to drink.

She searched through her spatial realm for a while and finally decided to buy a pigeon for the soup, along with some Chinese herbs that were both nourishing and flavorful.

The pigeon was already prepared; she just needed to cut it up before cooking.

He Ziran knew that the Mo brothers all wanted to stay by their father’s side, so she put on a show and called out to Mo Jiuye.

“Husband, a pigeon has fallen here. It would be perfect for nourishing Father.”

Mo Jiuye, who had long established a tacit understanding with her, knew exactly what she meant when he heard her words.

“Brothers, you stay and talk with Father. I’ll go check it out.”

As He Ziran had anticipated, none of the elder brothers offered to help when they saw the ninth brother leave.

Only in this way could the pigeon soup be presented openly.
