Chapter 61 -61 Miao Fa’s Obsession with Wealth_1

Yang Mengchen lowered her eyes slightly, concealing the pain and remorse at the bottom of her heart.

In her previous life, by the time she finally had the capacity to fulfill her filial duties, her father and Grandma Zhang had already been gone for many years, and this became an indelible pain in her heart.

Sensing Yang Mengchen’s sorrow, Long Xuanmo’s eyes were filled with an unconscious tenderness and concern, and his confusion deepened.

The others, each preoccupied with their own thoughts, remained silent, and the room fell into a peaceful quiet.

Lady Luo, who was most touched, gazed at her husband beside her, her eyes gradually moistening.

Initially, she had indeed resented her husband for only being engrossed in medical practice and never taking care of her and their sons. In her youth, she often quarreled endlessly with her husband over this, but it only backfired, creating a rift in their marital relationship. As she aged, she gradually gained perspective, and life became less troubling whenever she turned a blind eye to her husband’s obsessions.

It wasn’t until she heard what Mengmeng had said that she deeply realized how skewed her previous thoughts had been.

Looking at Nephew Hua and thinking about those seemingly prestigious ladies who were actually embroiled in daily conflicts with their husbands, concubines, and illegitimate children, leading to inner bitterness, she reflected on her own situation. With kind in-laws, filial sons, a husband who remained faithful, and a harmonious household, she lived much simpler and happier than those ladies.

Seeing his wife’s affectionate and apologetic gaze, Doctor Luo was both delighted and reproachful.

Over the years, he had devoted himself entirely to medical practice, leaving his parents, sons, and all household affairs in his wife’s hands. He knew he had been incredibly irresponsible, but regret was useless at this point; it was better to make it up to his family from now on, especially to his wife.

Understanding his sister’s good intentions, Luo Jingrui nodded solemnly and promised, “Don’t worry, ninth sister, Big Brother Luo will definitely cherish and show filial respect to our parents!”

“And me, I will also dutifully honor our parents!” Luo Jingyao quickly echoed the sentiment.

Yang Mengchen looked up and smiled, “I believe Big Brother Luo and Third Brother Luo will keep their word!”

Watching the three siblings share a knowing smile, Doctor Luo and his wife felt greatly relieved and marveled that the little girl (Mengmeng) truly was a blessing to their family!

Seeing the little girl trust other men and smile so sweetly, Long Xuanmo felt that sour feeling in his heart again and furrowed his brows, speaking coldly, “Continue!”

“What?” Yang Mengchen looked at Long Xuanmo in surprise.

Finding the little girl’s adorable expression rare, Long Xuanmo’s lips curled into a faint smile, and he was in a pleasant mood, “Continue stating your conditions.”

“Oh,” Yang Mengchen, hardly noticing the smile on Long Xuanmo’s lips, said, “The third condition is that Young Master Hua stays at our house.”

No sooner had the words left her mouth than everyone looked at Yang Mengchen in astonishment; although the countryside customs were not so strict, she was already over ten years old, and openly inviting a man to stay at her house could tarnish her reputation if word spread.

The four brothers of the Yang family were inclined to object, but they had always followed their sister’s commands without question, and after opening their mouths to speak, they ultimately remained silent.

Long Xuanmo’s brow was tightly furrowed as he stared straight at Yang Mengchen, his thoughts unreadable.

“Young Master Yuehua needs to undergo acupuncture for three hours each session every day for the first month, and it’s impossible for me to stay in town for a month or travel back and forth every day,” Yang Mengchen said calmly. “If you do not agree, then let’s call the whole thing off.”

“Ziyu could stay at the Nangong family’s Sideyard in town,” Nangong Lingfei suggested after some thought.

“Is the Nangong Sideyard really that safe?”

Before Nangong Lingfei could speak, Yang Mengchen coldly mocked, “Since our adversary has managed to find such a rare and exotic poison without revealing their identity, it’s clear they have both powerful backing and deep concealment. They will soon find Young Master Hua’s whereabouts and send assassins. Does Young Master Nangong truly believe he has the ability to eliminate the constant stream of assassins and ensure Young Master Hua won’t be poisoned again?”

“Secondly, the person who can continuously poison Young Master Hua through food and medicine must be someone close. Young Master Nangong may find the poisoner, but can he ensure that there won’t be others who will betray and poison again, or that the people in the Sideyard are all absolutely loyal?”

Nangong Lingfei was at a loss for words upon hearing this; indeed, he could not guarantee it.

Yang Mengchen turned to look at Long Xuanmo: “Can the Prince guarantee it?”

Long Xuanmo looked at Yang Mengchen, his lips slightly pursed, and said nothing.

“But this would bring disaster to your family,” Hua Ziyu firmly opposed.

“Rest assured, Young Master Hua, I have my ways to ensure those assassins will come but never return!” Yang Mengchen laughed confidently: “Moreover, with Xiao Guai in my house, all animals obey its command. No matter how formidable the assassins are, they are no match for an animal army!

In addition, we can employ the misdirect technique. Young Master Nangong could travel around with someone disguised as Young Master Hua seeking medical help, and both the Prince and Big Brother Luo could pretend to be desperately looking for rare medicinal ingredients. Meanwhile, we’ll slightly alter Young Master Hua’s appearance and have him assume the identity of Sister Wanxue’s distant cousin to stay at my place. The villagers are simple and honest by nature and will naturally not be suspicious.”

“This plan is simply brilliant!” Doctor Luo beamed with pride: “Our little girl is indeed sharp and bright!”

Everyone praised how good the method was.

As astute as Long Xuanmo, he had already had a plan, but he enjoyed seeing the little girl’s spirited appearance, and it also lifted his spirits.

Yang Mengchen smiled and said, “In this case, Young Master Nangong would be in the greatest danger, but with Young Master Nangong’s intelligence and capability, there should be no problems, right?”

Nangong Lingfei’s mouth twitched; Ms. Yang could praise him if she wanted to, but why did she do it with such a mocking tone, making it uncomfortable to hear?

Luo Jingrui and Hua Ziyu could not help but laugh indecorously.

Long Xuanmo raised an eyebrow slightly: “The matter of the cousin staying at the Yang family is settled then, Ms. Yang, do you have any other conditions?”

“Of course,” Yang Mengchen said with a grin: “I want the medicinal materials delivered quickly, and for Young Master Hua’s treatment, thirty thousand silver, five hundred silver a month for lodgings, and thirty silver per day for food. If someone is arranged to protect Young Master Hua, only one person is allowed, and I must approve beforehand. The lodging and food expenses will be calculated the same as for Young Master Hua.”

Nangong Lingfei curled his lips; when it came to matters, Ms. Yang was truly a little money-grubber.

“What medicinal ingredients?” Hua Ziyu looked puzzled at Yang Mengchen; wasn’t Ms. Yang supposed to prescribe and provide the medicine?

Although Long Xuanmo was also puzzled, he readily agreed: “Alright!” He then glanced at Mo Feng, who promptly took out forty thousand silver notes and handed them to Yang Mengchen.

Yang Mengchen calmly placed the silver notes into her purse: “Young Master Hua, first find a safe place to stay. In a couple of days, follow us siblings home.”

Hua Ziyu nodded in understanding.

“I, along with Xuan Mo, Ninth Sister, and Ling Fei, will go upstairs to discuss something,” Luo Jingrui said to Doctor Luo: “Dad, please talk with Sir Xiao and the Yang brothers. Junior brother and Third Brother will take care of Ziyu here. Mother, please take Lady Xiao and Ms. Xiao back to the Sideyard; we’ll be going back soon.”

Lady Luo smiled and motioned for Lady Xiao and her daughter to leave.
