Chapter 39 I Want to Recognize You as My Godmother
Li Mo'er carried a full basket of herbs down the mountain. When she arrived at the pharmacy, she called out twice as usual.
"Dr. Wang? Dr. Wang!"
As soon as Dr. Wang heard the loud voice, he knew it was Li Mo'er, only her voice was a little hoarse today.
She was about to retort when she noticed that Li Mo'er wasn't in a good mood today. Although she was smiling, a somber atmosphere surrounded her.
"Why is your voice hoarse?"
Li Mo'er shook her head slightly, "It's nothing."
When Li Mo'er stepped into the pharmacy, Doctor Wang saw that her eyes were covered in bruises and her face looked haggard.
"You didn't sleep well last night, should I get you some sedatives?"
The sudden concern brought tears to Li Mo'er's eyes. She saw her mother's shadow in Dr. Wang, who was just as stubborn but soft-hearted.
She didn't reply, but simply put the basket on the ground, quietly walked to Doctor Wang's side, took his arm, and said in an exceptionally earnest voice, "I want to recognize you as my godmother."
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
If Dr. Wang were drinking water, he would have definitely sprayed it on Li Mo'er's face by now.
"No way! What are you talking about..."
Dr. Wang wanted to scold her, but she remained silent due to her low spirits and simply refused.
She didn't want to refuse, but she had to think about her son. She could see his feelings for Li Mo'er, and if she agreed, she would cut off her son's future.
Li Mo'er pouted, feeling wronged, and leaned on Doctor Wang's shoulder, gently wiping away her tears with her clothes.
She forced a smile, pretending to be nonchalant, and said, "I don't care at all, hmph~"
As soon as she finished speaking, she carried the basket to the backyard and began washing it.
Doctor Wang was worried about Li Mo'er's condition, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she called Wang Jingmo and asked him to direct Li Mo'er to prepare the medicine.
As she was leaving, Doctor Wang smiled and muttered softly, "Son, this is all the help I can give you."
Wang Jingmo stood quietly beside Li Mo'er, watching her intently, her eyes shining even brighter in the sunlight.
He tried to help several times, but Li Mo'er refused each time.
Li Mo'er only agreed after Wang Jingmo said that he just wanted to pick out the weeds for her.
After all, Wang Jingmo has been exposed to this world for so many years, he must know more than I do.
"Dr. Wang, I need some comfort..."
Before Su Yanli could finish speaking, she saw Li Mo'er in the backyard and fell silent.
Following his gaze, Dr. Wang saw Li Mo'er and her son busily working.
"Li Mo'er, she..."
Before Doctor Wang could finish speaking, Su Yanli looked away; he shouldn't concern himself with so much.
"Dr. Wang, could you please get me some tranquilizers?"
Su Yanli changed her mind before speaking, and did not ask for the pregnancy-preserving medicine.
"Su Lang, you don't seem to be feeling well. How about I take your pulse and get you some medicine?"
Su Yanli's face was pale, clearly indicating a deficiency of qi and blood. She didn't know if there were any other symptoms and needed to have her pulse checked to confirm.
Su Yanli shook his head. Li Mo'er was here, and he was worried that Doctor Wang would tell Li Mo'er that he was pregnant, so he left.
Not long after Su Yanli left, Doctor Wang became increasingly suspicious. He noticed that Su Yanli's steps were unsteady and her center of gravity was unstable when she walked.
Just then, Li Mo'er came out of the backyard, and Doctor Wang quickly gave her some instructions.
"Mo'er, I noticed Su Lang wasn't feeling well just now, please keep an eye on him..."
Li Mo'er was still wondering who Su Lang was. Su? Could it be Su Yanli?
It's no wonder that no one ever addressed Su Yanli as Su Lang in front of her.
In the short time it took to lose focus, Doctor Wang had already finished explaining.
Li Mo'er had no choice but to ask again, "Dr. Wang, what is my husband doing at the pharmacy? Is he sick?"
Dr. Wang repeated helplessly, "He came to buy tranquilizers, but I saw him..."
Before Doctor Wang could finish speaking, Li Mo'er had already disappeared.
She returned home breathless and found the house unusually quiet.
Gently pushing open Su Yanli's door, she found him asleep in bed. She covered him with a blanket and then quietly left.
Li Mo'er breathed a sigh of relief; she was worried that something might have happened to Su Yanli.
Sedatives?
Did he have insomnia last night?
"Sister Mo'er! Sister Mo'er, I'm going back... mmm..."
Before Li Lin could finish speaking, Li Mo'er covered his mouth. She looked at the sun and realized it was already afternoon.
He pulled Li Lin outside the door before putting his hand down.
"He's asleep."
Li Lin nodded, then excitedly gossiped with Li Mo'er about the news he had found out today.
There's really no need to ask around; Wang Xian's matter has already caused quite a stir in the town.
The Wang family also threatened to remove her from the family genealogy and even drive her father and husband out of the house.
Li Lin was too excited, and his voice kept getting louder as he spoke, so Li Mo'er listened while looking into the yard, and occasionally patted Li Lin to make her lower her voice.
Li Mo'er wasn't interested in Wang Xian, but since she was dead, she could go to the town, which was a good thing.
She's more concerned about Shen Zicen now; she wonders how he is doing.
"Where's the Shen family?"
Li Lin was a little confused. How did he end up at the Shen family's house again?
"Is Young Master Shen alright?"
Li Lin then realized that it was that poor young master Shen from last night.
"There's no news from the Shen family. Young Master Shen should be fine. No one has said anything about him being involved in this matter today."
"Moreover, I also saw Young Master Shen go out today."
Li Lin whispered in Li Mo'er's ear.
Li Mo'er raised her eyebrows in confusion. Did Shen Zicen recover so quickly? But his mentality is indeed strong.
Li Mo'er was completely relieved to hear that Shen Zicen was alright.
But she didn't know that the one who went out was Shen Ziche, who went out to buy Shen Zicen's favorite snacks.
Shen Ziche stayed by Shen Zicen's side all morning, but Shen Zicen didn't eat anything, so he thought of buying some of his favorite snacks.
Li Lin, who happened to be out for lunch, saw it, but she didn't get a closer look and couldn't tell whether the person she saw was the same Mr. Shen from last night.
After Li Lin left, Li Mo'er went to the kitchen to cook. Since Su Yanli was feeling unwell, she cooked noodles and brought them to Su Yanli's bedside.
She gently patted Su Yanli and called his name softly.
Su Yanli opened her eyes wearily and looked at Li Mo'er with a blank expression.
Li Mo'er helped him sit up and lean him against the bedside. "It's time to eat."
She picked up the noodles, and once they were no longer so hot, she placed them near Su Yanli's mouth, gesturing for him to open his mouth.
Su Yanli felt weak all over and had no appetite, but looking at Li Mo'er's expectant eyes, she still struggled to open her mouth and put the noodles in her mouth.
However, he only took one bite before shaking his head, indicating that he didn't want to eat anymore.
Li Mo'er frowned. He didn't seem to have insomnia at all.
Worried about his health, she wanted to see Doctor Wang, but Su Yanli refused.
"Then I'll stay home with you tomorrow. If you're still not feeling well, we'll go see a doctor."
"No need, you can go ahead and do your work."
Su Yanli's voice was weak and feeble; he had used all his strength to say those words.
He'll feel better tomorrow.
Su Yanli thought to herself silently.
"Then you don't need to get up tomorrow, I'll bring the food over."
Su Yanli nodded with difficulty, then slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
