Chapter 124: Mo Fengwu
“Then my sisters don’t need to take this medicine, right? Isn’t my own life enough as collateral?” Madam Yan, having swallowed the pill, stopped Second Madam Li from also wanting to take the medicine.
Han Li was slightly stunned when he heard Madam Yan’s words, showing a hint of surprise.
But after a moment of thought, he nodded lightly and said, “Since Fourth Madam and her sisters are so close and say so, I, Han Li, am not unreasonable! Very well, Second Madam and the others don’t need to take the medicine.”
After speaking, Han Li took the bottle back from Madam Yan’s hand and slipped it into his bosom.
“Since everything is settled, I will take my leave for now. Tomorrow at this time, I will return to the Mo Residence to collect the portraits and other items, then head straight to Poison Tyrant Manor.”
“Thank you, young sir!” Madam Yan and the others got up to see Han Li off.
Han Li gave a faint smile, turned gracefully, and left the room.
Just as Han Li stepped down from the small building, hurried footsteps sounded behind him.
“Senior Brother Han, wait a moment! My second sister wants to speak to you!” The shrill voice of Mo Caihuan came from behind. Hearing this, Han Li sighed and reluctantly turned around.
He saw the little sprite rushing ahead, followed closely by Mo Fengwu and Mo Yuzhu, all walking toward him.
Mo Caihuan caught up with Han Li in just a few steps, then widened her eyes and circled around him, making clicking sounds with her mouth as if looking at some rare treasure.
“Alright! Senior Brother Han, you really tricked me hard! Who would have thought you were a fake too! Using some little things to fool people around.”
Han Li rolled his eyes at the girl’s words. What little things? She was the one who insisted on gifts and wanted to come herself!
“Third sister, don’t be rude. Don’t mess around with Young Master Han,” Mo Fengwu’s soft voice spoke for the first time, gentle and pleasant to hear.
“What! I was just standing up for Mother’s sake. Who told this guy to act so arrogant in front of her!” Mo Caihuan pouted.
Han Li thought as expected, this little girl was purely here to cause him trouble, so he ignored the little sprite and turned to Mo Fengwu instead.
“Second Miss, did you want to see me for something?”
Mo Fengwu’s face flushed slightly at Han Li’s address, but she still softly replied, “Fengwu only wished to know if the Lingxiang Pill that Third Sister carries was truly a gift from you? Have you obtained my father’s true teachings in medicine?”
From the start, Han Li had taken a great liking to Mo Fengwu. Now, seeing this jade-like beauty speak so gently and shyly, he couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of pity for her.
He replied kindly, “Since Second Miss wishes to know, Han is happy to tell all.”
“Miss Caihuan’s Lingxiang Pill was indeed given by me. I have also learned quite a bit of medical knowledge and recipes from Doctor Mo, and this Lingxiang Pill is one of them. Could it be that Miss Fengwu has a keen interest in this?”
Since seeing the medicinal herbs planted in the Mo Residence’s backyard, Han Li had realized there must be someone here who had learned Doctor Mo’s medical skills. Now, with Mo Fengwu asking this, he suspected she was that person.
Sure enough, as soon as Han Li spoke, the originally very quiet young lady’s eyes brightened with some delight.
“To be honest, Fengwu has been deeply interested in my father’s medical arts since childhood. She has studied many of his medical books and insights. Unfortunately, when Father left the Mo Residence, Fengwu was still young, so her knowledge remains limited.”
After saying this, Mo Fengwu hesitated for a moment, then went on earnestly.
“Therefore, Fengwu has a request and hopes you can grant it. Could you copy my father’s medical notes and insights for Fengwu, so she can learn more and improve her skills?”
After expressing this, the Second Miss of the Mo Residence blushed slightly, clearly embarrassed by her bold request.
