443 Chapter 443, Distraction
Zhuang Xian picked up two more silver needles and nimbly inserted them into the other acupuncture points on the soles of Mo Qian’s feet. She didn’t forget to say, “Don’t think that the name of the rattlesnake and the rattlesnake are very similar, but they are entirely different things. The rattlesnake bee is extremely itchy, and in the later stages, it can swell the wound like a bun, but it’s an excellent medicinal herb. It’s already rare in the medicinal herb market.
Master has a batch of them to deal with uninvited guests who trespass the Saint Valley Medicine’s holy land. Of course, it’s also used to deal with patients like you who don’t listen to medical advice.”
Mo Qian chuckled as he cried out for his innocence. His forehead was already covered in a cold sweat.
Even if he experienced this kind of inhuman pain again, it would not be easy. “Then I guess I won’t have the luck to see this magical thing again! The saintess would love a patient as obedient as me!”
Zhuang Xian’s heart ached as she looked at Mo Qian’s pale face. She removed a handkerchief and raised it to wipe Mo Qian’s sweat. However, she retorted indifferently, “The saintess doesn’t like patients with smooth tongues like you the most! You can’t keep holding it in like this. If you can’t hold it in, shout it out. There are no outsiders here!”
She meant that the people waiting outside the living room were all his loved ones. There was no need to hold back and not shout. However, when the words ‘there are no outsiders here’ fell into young Master Mo’s ears, the meaning changed.
Mo Qian’s beautiful eyes glowed with a hint of gentleness. He said gently, “You’re right; there are no outsiders here! However, I’m used to enduring pain. I’m afraid it’ll be a little difficult if you want me to shout out suddenly.”
She was still too close to Mo Qian while wiping his sweat. The thing scalded Zhuang Xian in Mo Qian’s eyes, and her ears suddenly turned slightly red.
She pretended to be calm and raised her eyebrows slightly, but when she opened her mouth, she asked softly, “Why are you so used to it? No one was born not afraid of pain … Why have I never heard you mention this cousin of yours before? Isn’t your father the only son of grandma Mo? Don’t tell me that your father has other brothers?”
The girl with delicate and beautiful eyes sat on the edge of the bed and asked Mo Qian these questions in a warm voice.
The expression on her face and the gentleness in her tone did not seem to be noticed by her.
Mo Qian took a whiff of the faint medicinal scent on Zhuang Xian’s hands. The pain and spasms in his legs seemed to have eased a little.
He looked into Zhuang Xian’s eyes, and after a long while, he explained in a hoarse voice, “It’s all old things from many years ago. To me, Mo Wei can not be considered a father. You don’t have to be so respectful to him in the future. He’s not worthy!
As for what you want to know, Mo Ye and I are cousins. It’s not a secret in T City. The Mo family’s old-school forces did not settle in City H, so very few people here knew about these hidden past events. Mo Ye’s father was the child of my grandfather and a mistress. He and Mo Wei are half-brothers, so Mo Ye is naturally my cousin.”
Zhuang Xian quietly listened to Mo Qian’s comments, but her hands did not stop moving. She began the second stage of acupuncture. Mo Qian seemed to have fallen into his memories, and his reaction to this kind of stimulation was not as strong as before.
Even though Zhuang Xian was trying to distract Mo Qian by asking him these questions, her heart still trembled when she heard Mo Qian say that Mo Wei was not his father in such a calm and composed manner.
She didn’t know what Mo Qian had gone through in the past to have such despair towards his father, to the point of saying things like ‘He’s not worthy’.
She could not figure out why old Mrs. Mo and old Mr. Mo, already a legendary couple in the business circle of country Z, still had these secrets that no one knew about.
Mo Wei, the leader of the Mo family’s previous generation, was not the only descendant of the Mo family. He even had a ‘Brother’ from a different mother? This matter was somewhat absurd and also rather heart-wrenching!
Zhuang Xian couldn’t imagine how much pain and helplessness the once arrogant Mrs. Mo, standing guard outside, must have felt when she learned about all these things.
