"Mother, we are all one family, saying these things makes you feel unwelcome." He Zhiran held Old Lady Mo's hand to comfort her.
Mo Jiuye chose to tell Old Lady Mo about the incident because he knew his mother's temperament well.
Old Lady Mo had seen all kinds of storms and her disposition was not as simple as ordinary women's.
If he had been vague about Mo Chuhan's experience, she probably could not have handled it at all.
Therefore, Mo Jiuye chose to lay all his cards on the table.
This way, although his mother would feel sad, it was still better than letting her worry all day.
In addition, Mo Jiuye repeated the excuses that he and He Zhiran had come up with, indicating that his mother should say the same thing to others.
Naturally, Old Lady Mo understood his intentions without needing further explanation.
While Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran were comforting Old Lady Mo, Eighth Sister-in-law had helped Mo Chuhan lie back down in her original spot in the tent.
She still had tears running down her face.
"Husband, do you know that when I first heard the news of your death, if not for thinking that I still had to serve your mother on your behalf, I really could not have gone on living..."
As she spoke, Eighth Sister-in-law threw herself into Mo Chuhan's arms again, bawling.
"Husband, do you know how much I missed you... woo woo woo..."
Mo Chuhan raised his hand to hug his delicate wife tightly, gently stroking her somewhat withered hair, and said, "It was I who wronged you. As long as I can still live, I will definitely make it up to you in the future..."
Eighth Sister-in-law vigorously nuzzled her face against his chest.
"You must live well. If anyone is to die, I will die first. I can't bear the pain of losing you again."
"Alright, I promise you that I will live well."
...
For all the Mo family members, this was destined to be a sleepless night.
When everyone got up early in the morning, they almost all had huge dark circles under their eyes.
He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye came out from the tent and went to find Peng Wang first thing.
They felt that it was necessary to officially notify Peng Wang about Mo Chuhan's matter.
Peng Wang had anticipated that they would come to find him, so after getting up he did not hurry to urge the team to move on, but waited in place instead.
Mo Jiuye brought He Zhiran to sit next to him.
"Big Brother Peng, as you saw last night, my eighth brother is not dead."
"This is absolutely great news for your Mo family, worth celebrating." As Peng Wang spoke, he looked towards He Zhiran.
"Little sister, I haven't tasted your cooking skills in a long time. You'll show off some skills for dinner tonight, right?"
"No problem, I guarantee Big Brother Peng and the other officials will be satisfied."
Clearly, Peng Wang was a smart man. He did not want to delve into the details of how Mo Chuhan was able to come back alive.
He always kept in mind one principle - the more you know, the faster you die!
With one look Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran realized Peng Wang's intention. Originally they had only wanted to inform Peng Wang that there was one more person in the team.
Now that was settled, they did not need to waste their breath finding all kinds of excuses to conceal things.
The exile team had a rule that unless under special circumstances, criminals were not allowed to ride in any vehicles.
Considering Mo Chuhan’s current state, he was too weak to keep up with the main group on the road.
Peng Wang would do people a favor - he understood that Mo Jiuye would bring this matter up, so he took the initiative to offer to let Mo Chuhan ride in a mule cart.
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran naturally expressed their gratitude profusely.
The sisters-in-law had cooked soft rice porridge early in the morning, plus one white flour steamed bun and one tea egg for each person.
Everyone had just finished breakfast when Peng Wang's side started getting ready to move on.
Considering Mo Chuhan’s physical condition and severe malnutrition, He Zhiran had endless ways to replenish him.
At the moment, with so many people around, it was best to use some ginseng and lingzhi and other medicinal ingredients that people of this era would recognize to nourish Mo Chuhan’s body.
She just needed to find an opportunity to reveal these medicinal ingredients.
Fortunately, the troops passed through another city that day.
Originally they did not need to enter the city, but Peng Wang had a craving and said early in the morning that he wanted to eat the dishes cooked by He Zhiran, thinking about the taste all day.
Therefore, when they passed by, he ordered the main troops to wait in place. He brought He Zhiran and an official into the city to purchase supplies.
Knowing that the things He Zhiran would "purchase" on one trip into the city would definitely not be few, Mo Jiuye helped Mo Chuhan down and let her lead the mule cart.
Peng Wang no longer regarded the Mo family as criminals now and naturally would not extort He Zhiran.
"Little sister, here are five taels of silver. I'll leave tonight’s dinner for my brothers in your hands." As he spoke, he was about to put the silver into He Zhiran's hands.
Considering Peng Wang’s care for her family over this period, He Zhiran did not take his silver.
"Big Brother Peng, we agreed that this would be our treat, how can we let you take out silver?"
He Zhiran directly pushed the silver back.
Seeing this, Peng Wang did not argue with her either.
"Since this is the case, big brother will not stand on ceremony with you."
He knew that He Zhiran liked to shop alone. Peng Wang took the official to a roadside tea stall, where they drank tea while waiting.
He Zhiran's main goal in entering the city this time was to buy some nourishing products for Mo Chuhan.
After splitting up from Peng Wang, she led the mule cart into a deserted alley.
She went straight into the mule cart and bought two whole old mountain ginsengs and two lingzhi mushrooms in Taobao Treasure Mall.
There is a saying that medicinal supplements are not as good as food supplements. However, Mo Chuhan’s body was too weak.
He Zhiran decided to use both medicinal and food supplements at the same time.
So she also bought two meat pigeons and one black chicken in the space, and used these plus the lingzhi and ginseng to cook soup for Mo Chuhan.
In addition, she poured several types of medicinal potions extracted from the space pharmacy that promote human immune function into a small porcelain bottle for Mo Chuhan to take on time every day.
Having a rare purchasing opportunity, He Zhiran naturally would not let it pass.
She bought several kinds of seasonal fruits, vegetables, various meats and some smoked sauce foods.
When treating others to a meal, she had to go all out.
He Zhiran bought a case of Wuliangye liquor in Taobao Treasure Mall and poured it into a wine jar.
When the supplies were prepared and half the carriage was already filled, He Zhiran finally led the satisfied mule cart to the tea stall to reunite with Peng Wang.
Regarding He Zhiran’s efficiency in purchasing, Peng Wang had long been accustomed to it.
Considering returning earlier to have more time to prepare dinner, He Zhiran let Peng Wang and the official ride in the carriage while she drove the mule cart all the way back, as this would allow them to move faster.
The moment Peng Wang entered the carriage, he was completely dumbfounded.
The Hes were indeed wealthy and powerful, actually buying so much stuff.
Then he thought again of the five taels of silver he had taken out earlier - afraid that would not even buy half...
He Zhiran was unaware of Peng Wang's thoughts. She drove the mule cart quickly out of the city.
Seeing the sky, Peng Wang ordered them to hurry on for another hour before resting in place.
With a goal, the main group picked up the pace even more vigorously down the road.
An hour later, Peng Wang chose to spend the night by a river.
Knowing that they had to treat the officials to dinner tonight, the sisters-in-law came over to help process the ingredients after the team stopped.
"Mother, we are all one family, saying these things makes you feel unwelcome." He Zhiran held Old Lady Mo's hand to comfort her.
Mo Jiuye chose to tell Old Lady Mo about the incident because he knew his mother's temperament well.
