The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 412

He Zhiran inherited all the memories and emotions of the original owner, so she had a good understanding of Madam He and knew that she wasn't very receptive to new things.

However, this watermelon was truly a fantastic treat, and it would be a great loss if her mother didn't give it a try.

"Mother, what Mother-in-law and Second Sister-in-law said is right. Watermelon is sweet, juicy, and incredibly refreshing. You should try it," He Zhiran urged.

Madam He offered a bitter smile to her daughter.

She couldn't help but wonder, "Is this really my own daughter?"

In the past, whenever such a situation arose, her daughter would step forward to help her out. But now that she was in her daughter's husband's family, not only did she not help, she was actually persuading her.

Madam He couldn't let her little quirk tarnish her manners, so she forced herself to take a small bite in front of everyone's gaze.

Seeing that she had already swallowed the watermelon in her mouth, He Zhiran smiled and asked, "Mother, is it delicious?"

"It's delicious indeed, just as you all said. It's sweet and juicy," Madam He sincerely praised.

Luckily, she listened and gave it a taste; otherwise, she would have missed out on such a delicious fruit.

Seeing that she liked it, Second Sister-in-law brought a few more pieces to her.

"Aunt He, if you like it, eat more," Second Sister-in-law said.

At the same time, He Zhiran also handed a piece to Nanny Li.

Madam He discovered the deliciousness of watermelon, so when the other sisters-in-law offered her other fruits, she didn't refuse anymore.

Apart from watermelon and cantaloupe, which were grown by the Mo family themselves, all the other fruits were brought from the space by He Zhiran, distributed to everyone in the courtyard by Mo Jiuye whenever he went into the city.

The sisters-in-law treasured these delicious fruits dearly. If it weren't for them treating Madam He as an esteemed guest, they definitely wouldn't have brought them out.

As Madam He enjoyed the delicious fruits and chatted with everyone, she couldn't help but feel that her daughter was living a good life.

When Mo's mother, who had traveled a long way, finished her conversation and left with her daughters-in-law, she asked Madam He to rest for a while.

After everyone left, He Zhiran personally arranged a room for her mother and Nanny Li.

When Madam He saw the bedroom in her daughter's house, her perception was once again refreshed.

The bedroom had the same beautiful floor tiles as the living room. The furnishings looked simple but had an elegant charm.

Madam He instantly fell in love with the place, especially the soft, comfortable bed. Sleeping on it would certainly be a great pleasure.

And then there was that thing they called a bathroom, which was like something out of a fairy tale for Madam He.

When she was in the capital, there were servants to attend to her, so although she didn't need to go outside to use the toilet, the smell of the chamber pot was nauseating.

The bathroom in her daughter's house completely resolved this embarrassment. Just by pulling the rope above, the water would automatically flush away the waste.

It was truly miraculous.

At this moment, Madam He felt like Liu Laolao touring the Grand View Garden, finding everything fresh and new, eagerly asking He Zhiran about this and that.

He Zhiran patiently explained everything to her.

Nanny Li looked at her mistress and young mistress with envy, envious that they could enjoy such good things.

Meanwhile, she had already chosen a resting spot for herself, which was a soft area under the window resembling a futon.

In fact, that was a tatami bed specially made by He Zhiran for Hu Cong, with a manually adjustable table in the middle where two people could sit and have tea together.

Li Mammy thought that sleeping there would be sufficient and convenient for taking care of Madam.

Unexpectedly, Miss had also arranged a bedroom like that for her. For Li Mammy, it was simply an overwhelming favor.

However, she also noticed that Miss had many rooms in her courtyard, seemingly occupied only by her and Young Master. Since the rooms were idle, she would take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy them.

He Zhiran thought that after the hard journey, her mother and Li Mammy would rest for a while.

To her surprise, these two still appeared spirited.

Since there was no one around at the moment, He Zhiran decided to inquire about the situation at home.

"Mother, is Father and Big Brother doing well?"

When it came to this, Madam He still had some lingering fears.

"Thanks to Jiuye going to the capital and dealing with Princess Yujun, otherwise our family wouldn't have any peaceful days."

These were indeed the issues that He Zhiran was concerned about.

If it weren't for considering the possibility that the matter of the Mo Family's exile might implicate her maternal family, she would have written a letter to inquire long ago.

Seeing her mother now, He Zhiran had a lot of questions to ask.

"Mother, how is the Ninth Prince's Mansion now?"

Upon hearing the words "Ninth Prince's Mansion," Madam He's expression turned somewhat grim.

"I can only say that because of Jiuye's appearance, your father escaped a disaster."

Seeing her mother's expression, He Zhiran knew that things were serious.

"Mother, what exactly happened?"

"General Jin, the Grand Academician, and the Left Prime Minister have all been found to be infected with the Puppetry Gu."

According to your father, although those people were infected with the Puppetry Gu, they didn't commit any acts against the court. They simply lost their autonomy and even had great difficulty eating."

This situation was not surprising to He Zhiran. No one understood better than her that those infected with the Puppetry Gu had no self-awareness and could only eat independently by being controlled by the Gu Keeper.

The Puppetry Gu on these people was planted by the Ninth Prince, and the person providing the Puppetry Gu to the Ninth Prince was Mr. Si Meng.

In other words, the mother Gu of the Puppetry Gu should be in Mr. Si Meng's hands, or rather, it was now in her space.

When they helped their father and brothers dispel the Gu, they discovered that there were several mother Gu present, but they were not clear about where the offspring Gu they bred had gone.

Now it seemed that those mother Gu in her space were very likely the ones controlling several important figures in the capital.

Leaving aside the Grand Academician and the Left Prime Minister, whom He Zhiran had no impression of, she had a great impression of General Jin. Moreover, Mo Jiuye often mentioned that General Jin was upright and had shown kindness to the Mo Family during their exile.

Considering this, it was correct for her and Mo Jiuye not to immediately kill those mother Gu back then. If those mother Gu were really the ones controlling the important figures in the capital, killing the mother Gu would be equivalent to indirectly killing those people.

Madam He was unaware of her daughter's thoughts, assuming that she had been frightened by her own words.

"Ranran, your father said that the Emperor has already sent people to search for experts who can cure the curse. Although there's currently no one in the capital who can help them, the imperial physicians have been dispatched to find a solution. Their lives are temporarily safe," Madam He said.

As she spoke, Madam He clasped her hands together and chanted, "Amitabha Buddha, thank heavens, it's fortunate that Jiuye came to the capital. That's how your father was spared from harm."

Reflecting on it now, Madam He still felt a lingering fear. She had heard from He Yuanming that those afflicted by the curse remained bedridden, resembling lifeless bodies.

He Zhiran noticed her mother's concern and held her hand, saying, "Mother, as long as Father is safe, you can rest assured."
