Mu Yao's busyness for several days caused dissatisfaction in Xu Qingcheng and Helian Yun. Especially Xu Qingcheng, she was even more upset after learning that Wei Wushang proposed to Li Taifu yesterday.

Now that his wife had finally come back, and was going back to the ancestral home with Xie Ci, Xu Qingcheng could no longer keep a straight face, and a blazing fire rose in his eyes. He turned his back, said coldly "I know," and went into the inner room, leaving Mu Yao alone and in a mess.

Xie Ci urged her to come back, and Xu Qingcheng was like this again. She was really worried, so she followed him in and said some nice things to him. Seeing her about to cry, Xu Qingcheng slowly suppressed her anger, softened her tone and responded a few times, which allowed Mu Yao to leave with peace of mind.

Helian Yun's situation was much smoother than Xu Qingcheng's. His reaction was very calm, but it made Mu Yao even more worried. Because Helian Yun did not stop fiddling with the herbs in his hand when he answered her.

Having too many husbands is a beautiful burden. Mu Yao pondered how to balance the relationship between herself and them.

The road is long and far away, and I will search up and down.

Family affairs is a very profound subject.

On the way to Xie's house, Mu Yao's thoughts were in a frenzy the whole time, and she kept recalling how she met and got to know the six of them.

Among the six husbands, Shen Chutang was the one that gave her the least worry. However, this peace of mind did not make her very happy. Instead, it made her feel a little depressed.

The Xie family was very excited about Mu Yao's return, especially the dozen or so children, who jumped and jumped towards Mu Yao from a long distance and surrounded her.

Mu Yao was fully prepared this time. She took out a dozen small gold ingots from her sleeves and distributed them to them one by one, making the group of children scream with joy, and their ears were filled with cheers of "Auntie".

She also gave generous gifts to her uncle, aunt, brother and sister-in-law. Wei Wushang knew that she didn't have any money with her, so he took the initiative to get these "gifts" for her in a very short time. Mu Yao was worried that Xie Ci would have some ideas, so she used her father as a shield.

These gifts were all wrapped in exquisite gift boxes, and I never even saw a thank you note.

The Xie family gasped when they received the return gifts: a hibiscus stone pine and crane ear lidded stove, a lotus gold stacked bowl, an imperial emerald green flower and bird pattern brush, top-grade Ruyi Liangma ink, a hollow colorful powder revolving bottle, as well as a variety of stunning head ornaments, rare books and many valuable double-sided carved jade pendants.

Compared with this, the gift they gave to Mu Yao was nothing compared to this and was not worth mentioning.

The aunts felt ashamed and started to search through boxes and drawers, taking out treasures of equal or greater value. Some could not find anything suitable in their rooms, so they visited each other to make room for the emergency.

So much so that when Mu Yao left the Xie family again, she dragged back eight carts of return gifts.

However, the treatment of Xie Yu did not go smoothly.

Xie Yu didn't believe that Mu Yao could cure him, and he didn't want her to see his "ghostly appearance" again, so he immediately rejected her kindness.

Xie Gantang and Song Yiren believed it. Especially Song Yiren, seeing Mu Yao was affirmed by the head of the family and Xie Ci, her long-lost hope was rekindled. She had a strong intuition that her son would definitely be able to "come back" this time. The strong desire in her heart and the outburst of deep maternal love for A Yu made Song Yiren's mind temporarily clear, and she no longer spoke incoherently and nonsense.

Mu Yao saw that Xie Yu had a stubborn temper. No matter how the elders tried to persuade him, he would not listen. He gave up on himself and became decadent.

Then he said, "Why don't you let me and Third Brother have a few words alone?"

Xie Bufan thought it was feasible and asked everyone to leave.

The room was empty, filled with the faint scent of chrysanthemums.

Xie Yu sat with his back turned without saying a word, once again blending into the air and concealing all existence.

Mu Yao sat down beside him, playing with the white porcelain tea knife on the table, and said with thin lips: "Third brother, are you going to wear the soap yarn for the rest of your life? Do you want to live your entire life with it? If so, the sunlight will turn black in your eyes. Isn't it too tragic?"

Xie Yu stood there like a sculpture, his eyes cold and broken, so quiet that even his skin tightened and his breathing.

"Am I not miserable enough?"

His response made Mu Yao feel endlessly depressed and lonely, which made her thoughts drift to Yun Su, who once had the same dead aura as Xie Yu.

"My medical skills are very good. I can help you take off the veil and pick up the sword again. Do you want to stand up and kill the real murderer with dignity, or tie yourself up in knots and continue to ruin yourself completely?"

Half of hope is despair. Xie Yu's eyes wavered, and the huge rock pressing on his heart showed a sign of loosening. But in the blink of an eye, it returned to its original state.

"My meridians are all broken, my face..." His breathing stagnated, and the dead air in his eyes filled up again. He used to be extremely handsome, but he never cared about this face. Now that it was eaten by the "evil ghost", he realized how much he cared about it.

Mu Yao's lips moved, but she said nothing. She was thinking about how to make Xie Yu believe what she was going to say next.

"The Emperor of Beiming gave Wanlin Garden to me. Did Ah Ci tell you the reason?"

Seeing Xie Yu remained silent, he continued, "I guess you already know. Don't you believe that I'm so powerful?"

Continue to remain silent. . . . .

"The muscles in Emperor Bei Ming's left leg were atrophied, and his meridians were almost useless. But I cured him. So... do you want me to take your pulse?"

The silence... continued, but the veil that tightly covered him began to rise and fall slightly.

Mu Yao's eyes flickered slightly, and she continued, "You know my husband Xu Qingcheng, right? Then do you know his second brother, 'Shangjing Qinglan Gongzi' Xu Licheng? I also cured his leg, and it should be almost healed now. It won't be long before he returns to the court."

You must be patient when doing ideological work for patients.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the tea knife in Mu Yao's hand was spinning until only its afterimage was left.

Xie Yu's heart was stirred, as if a trickle of water was flowing through it. He sighed uncomfortably and straightened his broad back slightly.

Mu Yao raised her brows slightly, and took advantage of this opportunity to grab his wrist and feel his pulse.

Xie Yu's emotions fluctuated noticeably. He didn't expect Mu Yao to suddenly attack him. His body instantly stiffened and he increased the force of pulling back on his wrist.

Mu Yao didn't give him any chance to retreat. She held his wrist firmly, turned sideways, and placed her other hand on his left shoulder, pressing down hard.

"It's just taking his pulse, what are you afraid of!" Mu Yao closed her beautiful eyes and examined him seriously.

Xie Yu was surprised at how strong she was and couldn't help but raise his eyelids to look at Mu Yao.

The beautiful face at such a close distance struck him hard in the heart.

The woman sitting next to him had skin as smooth as sheep fat, without a single pore visible.

The silky and shiny wine brown clouds were simply tied into a strand and fell diagonally on the right shoulder.

The beautiful and bright facial features and the subtle and alluring body fragrance uncontrollably seeped into Xie Yu's nostrils.

All the senses that were previously ignored are infinitely magnified and expanded at this moment.

"Okay. I'll go get the medicine." Mu Yao stood up, gave instructions, and left the room.

She wanted to lift the veil to look at Xie Yu's face again, but he didn't trust her enough at the moment, so she gave up the idea for the time being.

Once she has reshaped Xie Yu's meridians, she believes he will be happy to let her treat him.
