Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Li Mo'er stared blankly at his flat chest, then quickly recovered and pulled his clothes back up.

As her gaze fell upon the herbs, she silently told herself, "I'm just applying medicine to him. My job is to apply medicine to him. Every minute I delay will put him in greater danger."

Li Mo'er tore his clothes open again, and the tear got bigger and bigger, but she didn't care anymore.

She pressed on the slowly bleeding wound, and Daji, without even washing it, casually rubbed it and squeezed out the juice to drip onto his wound.

"Hmm~"

Perhaps the medicine irritated the wound, for the man couldn't help but groan.

Li Mo'er glanced at the herbal residue that was covered in dirt, then nonchalantly pressed the rest onto her wound.

After much effort, she finally managed to apply herbal medicine to all the numerous wounds on his body.

Just as Li Mo'er was about to rest for a while, she noticed a wound on the back of his shoulder.

Following the principle of seeing things through to the end, she carefully turned him over again.

Sure enough, his back was covered in wounds, some of which had already scabbed over, clearly indicating that he was someone who was frequently injured.

She resigned herself to her fate and took off his coat, intending to lay it flat beside him.

"Splash—"

As Li Mo'er shook her outer garment, her inner belongings fell to the ground.

She hurriedly picked up the jade pendant from the ground and examined it carefully, afraid that it might have been damaged and someone would try to take advantage of her.

The jade pendant was only about half the size of a palm, with a smooth and warm surface. It was engraved with some characters around the edges, which Li Mo'er did not recognize. In the center was the shape of a copper coin, slightly raised.

It has a slight coolness when held in the hand, and feels like a piece of fine jade.

Fortunately, there was only some soil on the ground, without any small pebbles, so the jade pendant was still intact.

Anyway, the bleeding from the critical wound had stopped, and there was no immediate danger to her life, so she slowly began to pick up the items on the ground.

A silver ingot, hmm... a few gold leaves, hmm? And a letter.

Li Mo'er examined the envelope repeatedly with suspicion, even holding it up to the sunlight outside the cave, but she still couldn't see anything. There were some bloodstains on it, and she wondered if the words inside were blurred.

She gathered all the items, tore off a corner from the man, wrapped them all up, and set them aside.

Then she dragged him onto the laid-out outer garment, made him stand slightly to the side, and applied the antidote to his wounds.

After she finished doing all this, the sun was already high in the sky. She left the bamboo tube filled with water beside him and then departed.

Throughout the journey, Li Mo'er kept pondering the man's identity. His clothes and jade pendant indicated that he was of noble status, but how could she explain his muscles and injuries?

In wealthy families, the men would certainly not be allowed to do manual labor.

Did he have an unloved father? Was he ostracized and suppressed by others, which led to his current state?

Li Mo'er quickly dismissed her own guess, after all, he still had a letter on him.

A letter, a letter?

Could he be a spy from an enemy country? Didn't Er Gouzi tell her a few days ago that they were going to fight a war with the United Kingdom?

Upon realizing this possibility, Li Mo'er took off running towards the cave and hid the wrapped items in a corner of the cave.

She will decide whether to give it to him or not after she has confirmed the person's identity.

After doing all this, Li Mo'er felt relieved and started walking down the mountain again.

Li Mo'er quietly approached Doctor Wang and whispered, "Is there going to be a war here?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Wang looked up and scanned Li Mo'er, asking, "What did you go to do?"

Li Mo'er was somewhat bewildered. She looked at her clothes and guiltily hid the blood-stained sleeve behind her back.

However, Doctor Wang still saw it, but she didn't say anything more, only answering Li Mo'er's initial question.

“In the event of war, our village is generally less affected because of the mountain behind it, which prevents the British from coming over.”

Li Mo'er nodded, but she also had a feeling that the person in the cave was from Britain, and that an ordinary person could not have been so badly injured.

She silently made up her mind that tomorrow, she would definitely throw away all those things and leave him there to fend for himself.

Because Li Mo'er was preoccupied with these things, she was somewhat absent-minded while washing the herbs. She piled the washed herbs together without noticing.

Dr. Wang walked over to her, kicked Li Mo'er, and sent her home.

She has to redo all the work that Li Mo'er just did; she's really made a fortune by borrowing money.

Li Mo'er didn't say anything and went home. She was still thinking about this matter, and she wasn't as enthusiastic as she had been a few days ago when she saw Su Yanli.

Previously, every time she saw Su Yanli, she would stare at Su Yanli curiously, and then carefully place her hand on her to feel it.

Su Yanli noticed her unusual behavior and followed Li Mo'er into the room, where she found Li Mo'er sitting blankly.

When Su Yanli stood beside her, a shadow fell and blocked the light, and Li Mo'er realized that Su Yanli was next to her.

She wanted to tell him what had happened that day, but she was worried that he would be scared.

After hesitating for a moment, she asked tactfully, "If it were a person you knew was a bad person, would you still save them?"

Su Yanli keenly sensed that this was more than just a problem, so she solemnly told Li Mo'er, "No matter what, your own safety is the most important thing."

Li Mo'er's eyes were full of confusion; she didn't know why Su Yanli would say that.

Su Yanli's eyes darkened when she saw the bloodstains on Li Mo'er's sleeve. "Take off your clothes, I'll wash them."

Ok?

Li Mo'er stared at him blankly; his topic jumped around too quickly, and she couldn't keep up for a moment.

When she came to her senses again, Su Yanli had already taken her coat and gone out.

"Mo'er, Mo'er!"

Li Tianming came over again. She hadn't come since she finished talking about the shop last time.

"Aunt Tianming, what's wrong?"

Li Mo'er quickly came out of the house and welcomed Li Tianming inside.

Li Tianming first drank a cup of tea to moisten his throat. "We need to expedite that transaction. I heard the shop owner recently contacted another buyer."

Are you in such a hurry?

Upon hearing that the shop she had just acquired was about to be lost, Li Mo'er quickly took out the five hundred taels she had borrowed from Doctor Wang and handed it directly to Li Tianming.

"Aunt Tianming, I only have five hundred taels right now. How about I pay part of it first?"

Li Tianming looked at the five hundred taels in her hand and repeatedly confirmed that it was real. After confirming it, she began to doubt the source of the money.

It wasn't that she didn't trust Li Mo'er; it was just that the money came too suddenly.

"Aunt Tianming, this is what I borrowed from Doctor Wang."

Noticing Li Tianming's worry, Li Mo'er quickly explained.
