The corners of Rouer's mouth curled up under the veil and she nodded.

He stretched out his hands and naturally hugged the maid's neck, and then was taken out of the carriage and placed on a wheelchair.

As soon as she sat down, Rong'er extended her hand to the young man in the wheelchair next to her.

The young man took out a piece of candy and placed it in her palm. She immediately stuffed it into her small mouth covered by the veil, and then smiled sweetly, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end.

The two were taken directly to Yuehua Garden.

Manager Zhou and the people from the general's mansion moved the luggage in and put it away.

As soon as you enter the hall, you can feel a warmth and there are several braziers around.

At the instruction of her own girl, Wen Xiang poured a cup of warm boiled water for the young master, and poured sugar water for Miss Rouer next to her.

However, Miss Rouer was still wearing a veil when she entered the hall, and she was holding her personal maid tightly with one hand, as if she was very afraid of the unfamiliar environment and strangers.

When the young man took the cup and noticed that it was boiled water, his curiosity about this cousin he met for the first time increased a little more.

I knew he was afraid of the cold at first glance outside the carriage, and I didn't ask about his condition on the way into the mansion, but I knew he couldn't drink any tea.

It can be seen that the second uncle's daughter is not like an ordinary lady.

After drinking two sips of water and calming down a little, his breathing became much more stable.

Then he looked at Nan Mo and said politely, "My name is Nan Xiao, and this is my younger sister Nan Rou. I am sorry to bother you by coming to your house without permission."

Nan Xiao was not sure what attitude his second uncle's daughter had towards him and his sister, so he did not consider himself as her cousin. In addition, he did not see his second uncle and aunt when he entered the mansion. At this moment, he was not sure whether the arrival of him and his sister would make the General's Mansion unhappy.

"My name is Nan Mo, I'm eighteen years old. According to my age, I should call you cousin. Your sister is..."

"Rou'er and I are twins, a boy and a girl. She is four years older than you... and my cousin."

After hearing Nan Mo say the word "cousin", Nan Xiao began to call her "cousin".

Nan Mo then continued, "My father was originally waiting for you in the mansion, but he was summoned by the palace an hour ago, so he hurried into the palace. The general's mansion has very few staff, and besides my father, there is only me, so it was not intentional to neglect you."

Nan Xiao was somewhat surprised that such a huge general's mansion only had two masters, but he also knew that he shouldn't ask too much.

Uncle Zhou and the housekeeper came to the main hall at this time.

The housekeeper said, "Miss, the food is almost ready in the kitchen. How about letting the distinguished guest wash up and rest first, and then we can have dinner."

"it is good."

Nan Mo then asked the housekeeper and the nanny to take Nan Xiao and Nan Rou to the rooms where they would be accommodated.

Then she also left Yuehuayuan.

Wen Xiang behind him whispered, "Miss, the health of the eldest master and the eldest lady does not look good."

"It's more than not good."

Nan Mo's phoenix eyes were serious, and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned. "The reason why my cousin is afraid of cold is because of the fetal poison. We need to check to determine what kind of poison it is. As for the twin cousins, their intelligence is also damaged because of the fetal poison. If I'm not mistaken, they should still be unable to speak."

Wen Xiang was filled with shock, "Who... who poisoned me? They are so vicious!"

Nan Mo took a deep breath and said, "The poison is a chronic poison that is added to the pregnant woman's body a little bit every month after she becomes pregnant for one month until the fetus is born and takes away the poison.

But because the mother's body was corroded by poison for eight or nine months, I guess this great aunt I have never met has either died early or has been lying on a sickbed for years, relying on a hundred-year-old snow lotus to keep her alive."

The shock and anger in Wen Xiang's eyes became more and more intense along the way, "Who did it? The master's family is so pitiful."

Nan Mo's eyes were deep, "According to my guess, this great aunt should still be alive."

"Why are you so sure, girl?"

"Both the brother and sister have the scent of snow lotus on their bodies. I think it must be the result of taking snow lotus for many years. The fact that they take it for many years shows that they are not short of snow lotus, so they must be worried about their mother."

Wen Xiang had a hint of doubt in her eyes, "The eldest master's family must be very wealthy, otherwise who can afford to feed three people with hundred-year-old snow lotus all year round? Even in the capital, there are probably not many people with such a family background."

Nan Mo did not respond this time. After all, it was obvious from the carriages and the clothes he wore that he had a wealthy family.

What she was actually curious about at this moment was what kind of family her great uncle belonged to. If he was just an ordinary businessman with a wealthy family, it would be understandable that he had a few hundred-year-old snow lotuses.

But for so many years, the mother and her two children have had to rely on snow lotus to sustain their lives, and it is not something that can be maintained by just a few or dozens of plants.

Now the brother and sister have come to the capital to seek medical treatment, but it is not known which doctor they are seeking.

Thinking of this, she looked at Wen Xiang who was standing beside her and said, "Ask Renyitang to find out if there are any miracle doctors or the like in the capital recently?"

"Slave, go now."

When Nan Gubei returned, dusk had already fallen.

In the study room of the main courtyard.

After hearing what Nan Mo said about the general situation of the brother and sister, Nan Gubei's face instantly darkened.

"Dad, do you know something?"

Nan Gubei was silent for a while before asking, "Mo'er, are you sure it was a fetal poison? Was it caused by someone continuously poisoning you during your pregnancy?"

Nan Mo nodded, "I am sure of this, but I need to check what kind of poison it is to know."

"Then you may have completely cured the poison?"

"Yes." Nan Gubei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his daughter's affirmative answer.

Then he sighed again, "You should also know from the housekeeper that Dad has an older brother with the same father and mother."

"Well, Uncle Shen mentioned it to me before."

Nan Gubei looked at Nan Mo for a long time and said slowly, "The reason why Dad never mentioned your great uncle is because your grandmother took your great uncle to marry into the Xirong royal family, and your great uncle's identity also changed.

The border between Xirong and Daxia has only become peaceful in recent years. There were wars from time to time before, so your uncle and I have tried our best to avoid any involvement with each other to prevent anyone from using us to cause trouble."

"If that's the case, it can also explain why they have an uninterrupted supply of snow lotus to prolong their lives."

After saying this, Nan Mo frowned again, "It seems that this fetal poison has a lot to do with the internal strife of the Xirong royal family."

Nan Gubei remained silent, his eyes dark and cold.

After a while, he suddenly said, "The emperor summoned me to the palace today and mentioned the change of court in Xirong."

"Dad, what you mean is that the emperor knows about the secret relationship between our General's Mansion and Xirong?"

"That's impossible. After all, I have never told anyone about this relationship. Even you just found out about it today."

After a pause, Nan Gubei pursed his lips and said with a serious look, "The emperor just mentioned that the new emperor of Xirong has ascended the throne and he is going to send an envoy to visit him."

Nan Mo's eyes turned cold, "The Emperor wants you to go on a diplomatic mission to Xirong?"
