Chapter 303: The Fourth Brother can be Treated Today

Chapter 303

Upon hearing that the antidote was successful, He Zhiran finally felt relieved.

After all, the antidote she had formulated had not gone through any clinical trials and was completely based on her own experience and prescribed formula.

"It's inevitable that they are physically weak now after being poisoned for so long without food. It's already a miracle that they are still alive," she said.

As for how Mo Jiuye would settle them, He Zhiran did not intend to worry about it.

In her opinion, the only thing those soldiers wanted most now was to reunite with their loved ones.

"I've already told them about what happened, and they feel guilty towards their families. They plan to recuperate and then go back to take a look after their health improves," Mo Jiuye said.

"Go back and take a look?" He Zhiran was a little puzzled.

"Yes, just go back and take a look. They said they plan to live with the Mo Family in the northwest from now on. Emperor Shunwu is so muddled, they don't want to sacrifice their lives for such a monarch anymore," Mo Jiuye explained.

He Zhiran had no objection to these people wanting to come to the northwest to live together with them.

Not to mention that they used to be the Mo Family's subordinates, even if they weren't, more manpower would be needed for future development in the northwest.

This was perfect. Currently, neither Mo Jiuye nor her had any grand ambitions, they just wanted to find all their missing family members in the future and live a life of abundance without deceit.

These people were like the Mo Family's men. Although the Mo brothers looked fine on the surface, after being controlled by others for so many years, they must have suffered irreparable trauma to their spirits and lost confidence in the court.

Moreover, these people had military backgrounds. Without working for the court anymore, it would definitely be difficult for their future livelihoods. It would be better for them to follow the family and live happy days together.

He Zhiran had a heartfelt respect for these military men who had shed blood for the country, whether in modern or ancient times. She could not sit idly by and ignore these fine men who protected their homes and defended the nation.

Of course, she also hoped that those people would be willing to follow the Mo Family on their own initiative, and would not force them.

The Mo brothers had already discussed not telling the women in the family about this for the time being, lest they feel uncomfortable. They would wait until those people had recovered and appeared healthy, so that it would be less distressing to see.

For three consecutive days, the Mo brothers spent their days taking care of their old subordinates on the mountain during the daytime, while He Zhiran focused her efforts on researching treatment for the Fourth Brother.

The Fourth Brother was recovering quite well now, especially with the Fourth Sister-in-Law's attentive care every day. His whole person looked fatter.

With Mo Jiuye not at home, He Zhiran could only simply check his pulse and examine his general condition.

After taking his pulse, she could make a preliminary judgment that the Fourth Brother's body had reached the standard for surgery.

"Zhiran, when you help the Fourth Brother with treatment later, try to get me to do the actual work."

Do the actual work?

Even with her many years of medical experience, she didn't dare to guarantee that such surgery would definitely succeed, let alone letting someone without medical knowledge do the work. That would be no different from giving the Fourth Brother euthanasia directly.

However, she didn't verbally attack Mo Jiuye's confidence either. In order not to make him worry about her body, He Zhiran obediently agreed, "Alright, I'll let you do wherever possible."

Since the Fourth Brother was still unconscious, surgery would have to be performed in her space.

Both Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran felt it would be safer to conduct it in their own room.

After all, if the husband and wife locked themselves in their own room, outsiders would not be in a position to say anything.

Just as they had made up their minds, there was another knock on the door.

"Ninth Brother, Sister-in-law, when can I come in?" the Fourth Sister-in-Law asked impatiently. She knew it was the Ninth Brother and Sister-in-law treating her husband, but she just wanted to stay by his side and watch with her own eyes as they treated her husband.

He Zhiran understood how the Fourth Sister-in-Law felt. If it were Mo Jiuye getting treated, she would also want to stay.

It was just that her treatment methods could not be exposed, so she could only let the Fourth Sister-in-Law feel impatient for a while.

Not only the Fourth Sister-in-Law, upon hearing that she was going to treat the Fourth Brother, all the women in the house had also rushed over.

Old Lady Mo, as the mother, was no less worried than the daughter-in-law.

She held He Zhiran's hand tightly, trembling a little.

"My child, I know you're unwell with a pregnant body, yet you're still willing to treat your Fourth Brother at this time. I'll remember this in my heart!" the old lady said, her eyes already welling up with tears.

Seeing the old lady on the verge of crying, He Zhiran hurriedly held her hand in return.

"Mother, don't worry. If I get tired, I'll rest. I'll definitely try my best to treat the Fourth Brother's injuries," she assured.

Old Lady Mo was tactful and would never prattle on endlessly like those talkative women.

She just gently squeezed He Zhiran's hand and ushered all the women away, telling them not to add to the chaos by staying here.

Old Lady Mo's actions actually helped Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran avoid the trouble of having to actively drive people away.
