Chapter 1941: Chapter 158: Jiuli, Please Help Me!
“Uncle, it’s all my fault. If I had helped father with more of the City Lord’s Mansion affairs, if I had spent more time at the City Lord’s Mansion daily, Master Ling and father wouldn’t have…” Feng Xiaoyao sobbed softly.
“Sigh… Don’t be sad, rest assured! With uncle here, I won’t let anything happen to your brother-in-law or you!” Fang Shile sighed lightly and said.
Mo Jiuli saw Feng Xiaoyao crying and was somewhat helpless, as the saying goes, every family has its own difficult story… it truly is so…
Thinking it over, Mo Jiuli looked at Feng Xiaoyao and said, “His corpse, you should deal with it first, otherwise it’ll always be discovered by others!”
“Jiuli, could you help us cremate Master Ling’s corpse?” Feng Xiaoyao said sorrowfully, looking at Master Ling’s body.
Mo Jiuli nodded after hearing this, a cluster of flames appeared and burned Master Ling’s corpse on the ground into ashes, piled on the ground. Feng Xiaoyao got up, kowtowed three times to Master Ling’s ashes, then took out a brocade box, collected Master Ling’s ashes, and packed them up, planning to bury Master Ling somewhere after his father got better…
“Jiuli, I beg you to help me!” Feng Xiaoyao said directly while kneeling in front of Mo Jiuli.
“Get up quickly, I didn’t say I wouldn’t help you!” Mo Jiuli sidestepped and reached out to help Feng Xiaoyao up speechlessly and said.
Since he had come, he naturally would help him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have said so much…
“Jiuli, how do we find the person behind all this? Xiaoyao doesn’t know much about the City Lord’s Mansion, and I’ve just arrived not long ago, so… if you have any deeper insights, just let us know, we’ll definitely follow through…” Fang Shile said, looking at Mo Jiuli.
“Hmm, I know! For your father’s poison, I won’t help cure him for now, but rest assured, although there’s no visible improvement now, his poison will no longer worsen and will remain as is, so the other side won’t notice anything…” Mo Jiuli said while looking at Feng Xiaoyao.
“Then will Feng Yan…?” Feng Xiaoyao worriedly asked, thinking of Feng Yan.
“He’s also key to finding the mastermind, so tomorrow I plan to…” Mo Jiuli said, looking at the two of them.
“Alright, we’ll do as you say!” Feng Xiaoyao and Fang Shile said upon hearing this.
Seeing the complete trust from the two, Mo Jiuli’s lips formed a slight curve…
A wordless night passed
The next day, Mo Jiuli followed Fang Shile to Lord Feng’s room, where Feng Xiaoyao had been keeping watch by the City Lord’s bedside. Seeing Mo Jiuli arrive, they said in unison, “Uncle, you’re here!”
“Hmm, Miss Mo is here to see your father…” Fang Shile said very politely.
“Alright.” Feng Xiaoyao stepped aside after hearing this.
Mo Jiuli walked to the bedside, once more pretending to examine Lord Feng thoroughly, this time deliberately taking longer! Then he withdrew his hand, looked at Feng Xiaoyao, and said, “Previously, my master did give me a prescription, but the medicinal materials required are extremely hard to find, I don’t know if we can find them!”
“Really? If you truly find the medicinal materials you want, will it cure my father and detox him?” Feng Xiaoyao asked excitedly.
“Though not completely certain, I am about fifty percent sure! But those medicinal materials are indeed very difficult to find…” Mo Jiuli hesitated and said.
“What do you need? People? I can send people, whatever you need, I can provide them!” Feng Xiaoyao looked at Mo Jiuli tensely and said.
