Volume 1: The Cloud Family Has a Daughter Chapter 52: Encouraging Yun Bao
Momo returned to the mansion, thinking that it was already noon, and just in time to have lunch with Father and Mother. So she didn't return to her own room, but instead handed the food box to a passing maid and went straight to Anhe Yard.
Not yet at the gate of the courtyard, a noisy sound came from there, Mo Mo was puzzled, who else dares to make trouble in Anhe Courtyard now!
"The master and mistress are having lunch now, they have no time to see you, it's better for you to come again in the afternoon!"
Two old women guarding the gate of Anhe Temple, one stretched out her hand to stop Yun Bao and said impatiently with a rather rude attitude; the other stood aside, watching the scene while cracking melon seeds.
"Just let me in, Chen's mother is seriously ill, if we don't find a doctor soon, she'll die!"
Yun Bao's face was covered in sweat, Chen Mama had taken care of him since he was a child, now she was the only family member left by his side, he couldn't just watch her die.
"Hey, sir, this life and death matter can't be stopped by others, but if those rascals disturb the master and mistress during their meal, it will only make things worse. You'd better go back!"
The wife of the melon seed seller spat far away, slanting her eyes and saying sarcastically. Humph, your aunt is gone, your sister has been sent to the village, and you still think you're a young master in the mansion!
Yun Bao clenched his fists in anger and frustration, wanting to punch her in the face. Without his aunt and sister, and with his grandmother ill and unable to protect him, was he really worse off than a slave? A feeling of powerlessness descended upon him for the first time, and he had never hated his own helplessness so much.
He lowered his head, silently turned around, and no one saw the tear in the corner of his eye! At this time, he just wanted to go back and accompany Chen's mother, didn't want to bump into someone, he didn't even lift his head, stubbornly wanting to walk past, but was pulled by someone's hand.
Yun Bao reflexively tried to shake her off, but was pulled even tighter. In anger, he lifted his head and saw that it was her, and couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Mo Mo stood quietly at the corner, watching this younger brother she hadn't seen in a while. Now he was really a different person from when they first met. She knew that during this period of time, he must have suffered a lot!
She didn't come out until she saw him leaving and then rushed out to hold him back.
"What do you want to do again?"
Yun Bao didn't expect it to be her, and he hastily wiped away the tears that were about to fall, not letting her see his pathetic state. He struggled even harder, but lately, he hadn't been eating or sleeping well, so how could he break free?
He had a grudge against this sister in his heart. If it weren't for her, maybe both the aunt and the sister would be fine. However, he didn't hate her; he knew that the aunt and the sister had done many wrong things.
"You just want to leave like this? Don't you want to find a doctor for Chen's mother to see?"
Mo saw his current appearance, and it was much more pleasing to the eye than before! He is very different from Li Shi and her daughter. At least after that drowning incident, he had dismissed that little servant who gave false testimony. Although he also condoned the fact that Yunyue did it for him, this is also a common human behavior. He's still young, and his actions to protect his loved ones can be understood.
This time, in order to save his own wet nurse, he humbly begged those low-ranking women, which further shows that he is a man of sentiment and righteousness. If guided properly, he should not turn out to be as treacherous as his aunt.
Yun Bao heard this and looked at her with surprise and delight, but then realized something was off, so he put on a stern face and didn't speak.
What a weird kid! Mu Mu secretly smiled.
"Come on, Sister will take a look at Chen Mama's illness!" Murmur guessed that Chen Mama was really seriously ill and didn't delay any longer. She pulled Yun Bao, who still looked hesitant, and hurried to Fenghe Yard.
Those two old women were already pale with fright and unable to move when they saw Mu Mu, this time, a beating was probably unavoidable!
Arriving at Fengyuan, the courtyard was empty, with no one in sight. The fallen leaves were piled up thickly, clearly having not been swept for a long time. Seeing this, Mo couldn't help but feel a wave of anger - these guys who boasted of their high status but had such low abilities!
It's not the time to pursue these things, suppressing her anger, she followed Yun Bao to his small garden. This was her first time here, the decorations were still okay, but since no one had cleaned for a long time, a layer of dust had accumulated.
A low, stifled moan came from the inner room. It was probably Chen's mother. Muzi went forward and carefully examined her. She knew that it was a high fever caused by catching cold, but because she had delayed seeking treatment for so long, it had become severe. As long as she took some medicine and rested well, she would recover soon.
The prescription was opened, and Momo stood in the courtyard shouting for a while before a maid came out. She glanced at her coldly, snorted, and handed her the prescription, telling her to fetch the medicine. The maid didn't dare make a sound, took the prescription, and quickly walked away.
When that girl returned, Mo let her call out all the slaves in the courtyard. Some people had not seen her before, and some were not paying attention. Only when they heard the whispers of those around them did they one by one become obedient.
Moistly took advantage of this to intimidate and entice them, these people didn't dare not listen, one by one continuously nodding their heads, yes, yes.
Everyone dispersed, and Mu Mu looked through the window to see Yun Bao carefully feeding medicine to Chen Mama, whose eyes shone with tears as she gazed at Yun Bao with a look that was like looking at her own child. This scene was really warm!
Yun Bao came out and saw Momo standing in the yard with her back to him, seemingly lost in thought. He wanted to thank Chen Mama, but what he said instead was:
"You think you saved Chen's mom and I'll forgive you?!"
Yun Bao saw that the words had already been spoken, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He didn't want to lose face by apologizing to her, so he stood aside and waited for her to get angry. Half a day passed without any movement, and he looked up in doubt, only to see that she wasn't as angry as he had expected. Instead, she was standing with her arms crossed, smiling at him with sparkling eyes that seemed to see right through to his heart.
Mo saw that he was on the verge of exploding and withdrew his playful gaze, looking at him and asking:
"Why didn't you go back to the academy to study?"
When she saw him, Meng thought he should be in school at this time.
Yun Bao frowned as soon as he heard about reading books, his face full of disgust: "I won't go!"
"Why?" Momo was taken aback, looking at the young boy's appearance, could it be that he didn't like reading books?
"What's the use of reading books? It's all just empty words. I don't want to read books, I want to learn martial arts and become a great general in the future!"
Yun Bao's eyes shone brightly as he said this. He had wanted to learn martial arts before, but his aunt and grandmother did not agree, disregarding his opinion and forcing him into a book academy instead.
He rubbed his chin thoughtfully and carefully sized him up, thinking that if he practiced martial arts, he should be quite good.
"I'll get my father to find a martial arts teacher for you. However, the prerequisite is that you must study hard, read books and learn at the same time."
A person with great strength but no brains will never accomplish anything significant.
Yun Bao could hardly believe his ears, but after thinking about it for a moment, he finally nodded and agreed.
The two negotiated successfully, and Momo took him to Anhe Courtyard. In front of him, he made a suggestion to Lao Die, who also carefully measured him and agreed very readily.
Yun Bao could hardly believe his ears, he didn't expect that this thing which seemed so difficult to do before was actually solved just like that.
Until Momo pulled him down to eat, he didn't come out of his daze. He solemnly said to Momo: "Sister, from now on, you are my sister. I will definitely not disappoint your expectations. In the future, if there's anything, I'll definitely help you!"
Moistly didn't expect him to say that, and with a somewhat embarrassed smile, said: "I just want you to work hard from now on and become a real man!"
She did this with a purpose too. If she can't cure her mother, then in the future, her mother will still have to rely on Yun Bao. For now, it seems not bad!
Yun Bao nodded firmly.
Yun Zhan watched this scene and felt greatly relieved in his heart.
