Chapter 42 - Truly unnecessary
Not long after, the sound of a baby wailing could be heard from inside the house.
The people waiting outside, such as Sang Nu, were finally relieved.
Li Zheng staggered out of the house, crying tears of joy. "He … he gave birth to a daughter. The mother and daughter are safe and sound."
It is said that men do not easily cry, but only to the point of sadness.
After experiencing such great sorrow and joy, tears fell from the eyes of men. Everyone understood this very well.
After all, everyone else was the same.
Dr. Yang went forward and patted on his shoulder to comfort him, but unlike when he was excited, his thoughts directly turned to Mo Xiyan.
Because if it wasn't for her tonight, then Rizheng wouldn't be having a happy occasion and would be waiting for the right thing to happen.
When he thought here, he suddenly said to Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, I feel that there is a person whom you must thank greatly for giving birth to a daughter."
She wiped away her tears. After hearing Dr. Yang's words, she finally remembered the kindness Mo Xiyan had shown her.
"That's right, that's right. If not for Miss Mo by our side today, my A Liu might still be here, and she might even …"
At this point, Li Zheng could no longer say anything. He grabbed one of his sons' arms and shouted at his other two sons, "Come here, we will kowtow to benefactor."
The three brats unhesitantly walked in front of Mo Xiyan and were about to kneel down.
However, Mo Xiyan stopped them, "There's really no need for this, I didn't do anything."
Saying that, she looked inside, "Besides, the real contributor is the kudzu, after all, she is the one who received the gold, isn't that right?"
Her words were indeed reasonable.
Li Zheng was speechless.
Of course, because of what Mo Xiyan had said, the crowd's favorable impressions towards her grew even deeper.
It was hard to find such a modest girl, but such a fine girl, and her father had abandoned her.
This made Li Zheng and the others even more unable to accept it in their hearts.
Especially Li Zheng, he had read the letter given to him by the Prime Minister, which allowed him to understand Mo Xiyan's situation even better.
The letter specifically told Mo Zhen to take good care of Mo Xiyan in his place.
Because if there were no accidents, she would stay in this village forever, never going to Jiajili again.
As for the money, the Prime Minister had specifically said that Mo Xiyan had brought all of the deceased wife Xi Tinglan's dowry here, so she wasn't in need of money.
Hopefully, he could help Mo Xiyan find a good home in the village. After all, a girl still needed to marry someone.
He had originally thought that Mo Xiyan was not a good person and that she would be abandoned by the Prime Minister.
However, he never expected that Miss Mo was not only a good person, but also a capable person.
As for Xi Tinglan, she was the daughter of one of the richest men in Jiangnan.
At that time, when she was able to marry Mo Wuji, everyone said that his ancestors must have burned incense to be able to get a girl like her to marry him.
After the wedding, she even continued to support him in his studies and even went to the capital to take the Imperial Examinations. Only then did he win the examinations and become a high-ranking official.
As for what happened afterwards, he did not return to the village, so she did not know.
As for the matter between Mo Da and Shen Hongqin, he knew a thing or two.
After all, that Shen Hongqin was a famous person in the neighboring village, so why would she say that?
The reason was because she was as famous as her beauty. There were even people who said that after leaving Great Li City, she had mixed with other men in order to not get married. The reason was so that she could marry Great Li.
At that time, someone had advised her that it would be too late if she did not marry, but she had given birth to a daughter the year after that.
However, no one believed her at the time. After all, she was not the only man that had slept with her before.
Of course, she might not care about the thoughts of the villagers. She only needed to believe in him.
Now, seeing Mo Xiyan returning to his hometown alone, what did he not understand?
It should be because she was too concerned that she couldn't win against Shen Hongqin and had lost her favor, causing Mo Xiyan to lose her standing in the manor and thus being thrown back into the countryside.
As a result, he felt even more pity for Mo Xiyan. Thinking back to how she had saved her life, A Liu and the tetradecyl, he had a plan in her heart.
Regarding the matters of the village in the future, he would definitely help Mo Xiyan take a detour. As for marriage, it would be really hard for him to do that.
But Miss Mo also had an idea, so he probably didn't need to worry.
Thinking to this point, the gaze that he was currently using to look at Mo Xiyan, couldn't help but become gentle, "Miss Mo, if you don't mind, how about you stay at my place for the night?"
These words struck right into Mo Xiyan's heart, she hurriedly said, "As long as you don't mind us disturbing you, I am naturally willing."
"Of course not." Li Zheng smiled and nodded, then hurriedly said to his son, "Boss, hurry up and prepare a room for our guest, then prepare some food."
Li Zheng's eldest son quickly left.
At the same time, the waiter also said, "I'll go help brother. I'm sure he won't be in a hurry."
Of course, Li Zheng didn't object and agreed immediately.
After they left, he told Mo Xiyan to be slow, and after asking her to sit for a while, he went to greet Dr. Yang's midwives.
After chatting with them for a while and asking Little San to send them off, his two sons came back.
"Call Miss Mo over for dinner, I'm going to go see your mother and tetradecyl."
Just as he was about to ask them to place the dishes on the table, he greeted Mo Xiyan and went back into the room.
As Mo Xiyan was eating with her two sons, the Li mama opened the door and walked in while gasping for breath.
"El-Eldest Miss, y-you all made it easy for me to find her."
She impolitely sat down at the head of the table, picked up the bowl that she had prepared for Li Jun, and started to eat.
The way she ate was very sloppy. Not only was the soup splattering, even her saliva was splattering everywhere.
Mo Xiyan frowned, and unhappily put down her chopsticks.
The others also stopped at the same time.
Li mama was completely unaware of this, she had been eating crazily all this time, maybe she was really hungry.
It was only when she had drunk her fill that she finally stopped.
As she burped, she looked at Mo Xiyan with satisfaction, "Eldest Miss, where is the room? "I've been walking for a long time, and I'm really tired. If you have something to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Was this woman really a servant who had served Shen Hongqin for more than ten years? Could she even believe it when someone said that she was the mistress?
Mo Xiyan stared at Li mama, the disgust in her heart deepened.
"I'm sorry, but I only have one guest room in my house, please go to another house."
The eldest son of Li Zheng, or in other words, Mo Zhengyang, stood up in displeasure and intended to expel the Li mama.
But he had underestimated the extent of Li mama's shamelessness.
After he finished speaking, Li mama actually stood up with a smile, and said directly, "So you've already prepared a room for me? "Then why aren't you bringing me over?"
