The head of the Mu family

Chapter 194 Return to Yedu

"No, no one told me to take it."

"What, are you going to start lying to me now?"

"It's true. I went to ask several of the most famous doctors in the city for the medicine myself."

"Then why would a perfectly healthy girl like you eat something that's bad for her health?"

In terms of looks, she's outstanding anywhere.

"I...I want to become more beautiful!"

"to be honest!

Is this the reason you're using to appease me?

If you don't tell the truth, then you can no longer acknowledge me as the head of the family!

As Huai Sheng spoke, he angrily turned his head away.

Qingxue immediately knelt down, large tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Master! I'll talk, I'll talk..."

I am good-looking, but my physique is different from that of the head of the family.

I'm thinking of making my physique more similar to the head of the family.

Like this... Like this...

"If we encounter that beast again, I can help the head of the household..."

What nonsense are you talking about!

Your life is precious; no one is worth trading your life for!

"Master! If my worthless life could be exchanged for yours, then it would truly be worthwhile~"

Without you, I would have died long ago.

"That's because you didn't give up on your own karma, and meeting me was your good fortune."

You are beautiful, intelligent, and kind. Your sewing skills are among the best in the entire city of Ye.

A girl as wonderful as you should live a beautiful life in this world.

I am very pleased that you are loyal to me.

But my original intention in bringing you to the Mu family was so that we could all become better together.

"Stop taking that drug and ruining yourself! You're not only letting yourself down, you're letting me down too!"

"Master..."

Qingxue cried uncontrollably, and Huaisheng reached out to help her up.

It aggravated the wound, making him wince in pain.

"Master, don't move!"

Qingxue quickly got up and checked Huaisheng's wound.

"Silly girl~ I'm fine, but you mustn't do anything foolish again!"

"Um..."

"If I hadn't been to Tibet before, I wouldn't have known about this heinous medicine."

You haven't been taking it for very long yet. Get me some paper and pen, and I'll write you a prescription.

I'll go get the medicine in a little while, ten doses.

We'll start eating it today, and I'll prepare more to take on the trip before I leave in a couple of days.

"Master, don't bother, just tell me and I'll write the prescription."

"It's ready. Bring it here so I can take a look!"

"Okay~"

In early February, after saying goodbye to General Yan and his family, I set off to return home.

First, I sent Ni'er back to Mu Su, and then I went to see Mu Su.

This girl was also very honest. After Huai Sheng woke up, he saw her there and said that he would have Mu Xi escort her back.

The girl absolutely refused, and insisted on doing the work of brewing the medicine.

Upon arriving in Qingxi County, they stayed for a few more days to put Mu Su at ease before preparing to set off.

Mu Xi wanted to go back with Huai Sheng, but Huai Sheng scolded her.

“A good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown. You have only been out for a few days, and you have neither brought benefits to the people nor achieved any great deeds.”

With natural disasters raging in many places, people are suffering terribly. What would you do if you went back?

"I...I'm worried about the head of the family!"

Don't worry, so many people are protecting me~

"Don't worry about things that aren't your business. All those years of studying have been for nothing."

"But, but..."

Stop being so wishy-washy!

I finally understand why that silly boy Mu Xu was able to win the heart of the beauty.

Your indecisive nature is also holding us back.

You at least passed the imperial examination and became a scholar; in terms of martial arts, you're second only to Mu Xu.

Now that I've learned so many skills, I need to figure out how to put them to use.

Last year's snow disaster, take a good look at the lives of our fellow villagers outside!

You should follow Mu Su to gain more experience and broaden your horizons.

You're not allowed to go back this time, do you hear me?

"Understood, Master!"

"Don't worry, go back now. Ni'er and I will take good care of Mu Xi."

"Hmm, that's good."

The border region is bitterly cold, and it's truly remarkable that your wife is willing to endure this hardship with you.

But we must work hard to make our wives' lives better.

The men of the Mu family can endure some hardship, but they cannot let their wives suffer.

If you need anything, just send a message back via carrier pigeon. If you need money, contact me; for anything else, contact Qianyan.

An official should be upright, but not too rigid; be a little tactful and avoid being taken advantage of.

"Okay~ Don't worry!"

Honestly~ After talking about Mu Xi, she started talking about me too. I already have Ni'er~

Huai Sheng rolled his eyes, reached out and slapped him, and everyone in the room burst into laughter.

After saying their goodbyes, the group returned to Yedu.

The entire route was filled with reconstruction efforts following the snow disaster, and although it was springtime, most places were still desolate.

Qianyan held Huaisheng's hand and comforted him:

Don't worry~

Those of us outside are continuing to distribute porridge; things will get better~

"Hmm~"

Huai Sheng rested his head on Qian Yan's shoulder.

Enjoying the scenery along the way, chatting and laughing with a group of people, we arrived in Yedu in early May.

When Qingyue saw him return, her eyes immediately welled up with tears, and she turned away to wipe them away.

Some of the others had already begun to sob.

"Don't cry~"

"Our family just went to provide free medical services, why are you crying!"

Qianyan knew they were sad and couldn't bear to blame them, but Huaisheng was the one who was saddened the most by all what he had suffered.

When the group of people cried, Huaisheng was the saddest.

"Yes, yes, yes~ We're mainly worried about the head of the household; he's not eating or sleeping well."

Qingyue spoke.

"Mother~"

Granny Yu and Granny Han arrived with two children.

"Father, why are you holding Mother?"

"Your mother twisted her ankle. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. She'll be fine in a few days."

"Don't worry, Father, we'll take care of Mother with you."

Huai Sheng burst into tears the moment he saw the child.

I wanted to hold the child, but I couldn't, so I could only reach out and touch the child's head.

"Qianyan, buy me a wheelchair tomorrow too, it'll be more convenient that way~"

"You'll get better soon too. I'll be there for you wherever you go~"

"The flesh is almost fully grown, but it will take at least ninety days, if not a hundred."

Qianyan placed Huaisheng on the stool, and the children finally carefully hugged their mother.

Jingtang came to visit on the second day after I returned.

“My mother asked me to deliver this invitation. Where have you been? Why have you taken so long to come back?”

Your birthday is a round number this year, why didn't you celebrate?

"Passed~"

"Hmph~ You didn't invite me on my birthday?"

"I'll make up for it later, I'll post a message for you~"

Why are you always sitting there? You've wanted to hit me for ages. Where's my brother-in-law?

"Your brother-in-law went to buy some things, he'll be back in a bit."

“You are always inseparable from your weights.”

You're acting a bit strange, I'm leaving~

After saying that, Jingtang got up, while Huaisheng remained seated. Aunt Sun, who was standing nearby, quickly saw the guest out.

Jingtang turned around suspiciously, reached out and lifted the hem of Huaisheng's skirt, revealing a pair of bare feet wrapped in bandages.

What are you doing!

Huai Sheng was caught off guard and was startled by his actions.

What happened?

What happened to your foot?

Jingtang's eyes immediately reddened, and her voice choked with emotion.

"Look what happened, you got hurt by accident!"

Where is my brother-in-law?

"What is he good for? How could he let you get hurt?"

"It has nothing to do with your brother-in-law; it was my own carelessness."

Your brother-in-law received the letter and immediately went to take care of me.

As the two were talking, Qianyan came in from outside pushing an empty wheelchair.
