Chapter 21: This Is the Royal Garden, Not the Mo Family
Just after noon, Ji Nuan took the medicine under the supervision of Mo Jingshen. Although the fever was gone, she added another cold medicine to her.
This caused her to fall asleep again in the afternoon, and when she woke up again, it was still light, but it was almost evening.
The room was quiet, Ji Nuan got up and walked out, but he didn't see Mo Jingshen's figure, thought he was in the study, turned around to look for it, but found no one.
"Madam, you're awake." The servant heard the voice and came over: "Are you looking for Mr. Mo?"
Ji Nuan looked back at the servant, not only did he not see Mo Jingshen, but also Sister Chen was not there.
"Mo Jingshen went to the company?"
Could it be that the company has something urgent that needs him to go?
"Mr. Mo greets the guests downstairs."
"guest?"
Except for Ji Mengran, who got a charter some time ago and often comes here, no other relatives and friends usually come here.
The elders of the Ji family and the Mo family have not been here for half a year. If they want to see them, they usually tell them to go back instead of coming to the Imperial Garden.
So where did the guests come from all of a sudden?
But since someone came, Ji Nuan was so sick and wearing pajamas that it was really inappropriate. When she saw the servant turned around and went to work, she simply went back to the room to change her clothes and looked refreshed by taking care of herself. After feeling better, I went out again.
Just walking down the stairs, I didn't know who was coming, and I only heard a woman's voice: "Jingshen, you must be very busy right now? You really rarely go back to Mo's house recently, hey, there are so many things at home. I'm waiting for you to take over, but you are a young child who wants to set up a business on his own, and the Mo family's company in the United States also needs..."
The voice suddenly stopped because of Ji Nuan's appearance, and the bitter tone suddenly turned into a sarcastic tone: "Miss Ji is waking up? Sure enough, she was pampered and raised since she was a child, and she doesn't usually work. It’s okay to just stay at home, but to wake up so late every day, you’re really a lady who doesn’t know the sufferings of the world!”
"She's ill. I asked her to continue sleeping after taking the medicine." Mo Jingshen looked at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan recognized the person and walked over: "Aunt cousin, I'm so sorry, the servant didn't tell me that you were here."
This is Mo Jingshen's cousin Mo Peilin, the daughter of Mr. Mo's younger brother's family, and can only be regarded as a distant relative, but Mr. Mo's generation is very close, so the following juniors are all based in Haicheng. It is also often met at various banquets of the Mo family.
Mo Peilin didn't seem to hear Ji Nuan's words, and only glanced at her coldly.
"Don't care which family's precious daughter, since you have entered the Mo family, you can no longer treat this place as your own. There are no rules and no manners.
Mo Jingshen's eyebrows were sparse: "This is the Imperial Garden, not the Mo family, she doesn't need to abide by any rules."
"That won't work either. Even though it's not an old age anymore, it would be outrageous if the Mo family's daughter-in-law has always been so ignorant and lazy!"
Mo Jingshen smiled coldly, ignoring her obviously unkind words. Seeing Ji Nuan still standing there, he said softly, "Aren't you tired from standing? Come and sit down."
Ji Nuan laughed, walked over obediently, and sat beside him in front of Mo Peilin.
Seeing them sitting so close, Mo Peilin's expression suddenly looked ugly for no reason.
The daughter Mo Jiaxue who was sitting beside Mo Peilin also closed her eyes, and her expression didn't look very happy.
Sister-in-law Chen brought a pot of good tea that she brought back from the Mo family, and then left the hot water on the coffee table under Mo Jingshen's gesture.
"Is it better?" Mo Jingshen poured Ji Nuan a cup of hot water. She has a cold and can't drink tea.
"I have eaten and slept all day, and I feel much better now.
"Ji Nuan sat beside him with a smile, as if he didn't see the mother and daughter's increasingly ugly faces.
"You also know that you sleep besides eating? What does it look like to be lazy and delicious! Jingshen has been married to you for more than half a year, and I haven't seen you go back to Mo's house until now. If you don't know, you think that Jingshen is still single." Ignored Mo Peilin, who had been there for a long time, rolled her eyes: "Miss Ji is really affectionate. A minor illness can make Jingshen put down the company's affairs and accompany you at home to take care of you."
Ji Nuan turned to look at her: "Aunt Cousin, it's more than a week before Grandpa Mo's 80th birthday. I'm going to go back to see him when he is on his birthday."
"If you don't go back when Mr. Mo's birthday is over, you probably won't have to enter the Mo family's door again in the future!" Mo Peilin hummed.
Ji Nuan raised her beautiful eyebrows calmly, and said lightly: "Usually his old man is already busy enough, so I don't go back often, isn't it just to give him more quiet time?"
Mo Peilin's expression froze, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
What Ji Nuan meant was that these relatives, who were usually unable to fight with eight poles, spent the whole day in order to hug the Mo family's thighs, and the old man and the old man went to win over the family for a short time, so that the old man Mo usually didn't even have a quiet time. ?
"Oh! It's really better for you to go back less, so that the Mo family has to look at your face!" Mo Peilin's face was a little embarrassed, and her tone was also very aggressive: "I don't know what kind of evil in the depth of field is, I just look at it. On you!"
Mo Jingshen frowned because of Mo Peilin's tone and voice questioning Ji Nuan's attitude, and his brows were full of indifference.
Mo Peilin's voice then increased a few decibels: "In the beginning, you didn't know what to do, you always had a bad face when you got married, and there is no news in your stomach until you got married, I think you didn't want to live a good life at all! Then why are you still occupying the title of Mrs. Mo? Hurry up and leave, and give us the freedom of Jingshen! There are so many good girls who want to marry him! Such a big Haicheng is worthy of our famous ladies and daughters of Jingshen There are thousands of them!"
Mo Jingshen spoke suddenly, with an indifferent tone: "Sister Chen, see off the guest."
He could hear the coldness and anger in his words, but Ji Nuan didn't say a word, but took the initiative to put his hand in his palm and gently pressed it, meaning that he wouldn't care about these words.
Mo Peilin didn't plan to leave at all, she sat on the sofa and refused to leave: "Jingshen, I haven't finished my words yet! I went to Mo's today, but they said you didn't go to the company today! To be independent, of course the company's business is more important, but you actually take care of Ji Nuan at home!"
"Which is more important, I have my own discretion, and I don't need my cousin to worry about it." Mo Jingshen's eyes were still cold, and the politeness he maintained at first has disappeared.
"Originally, as an elder, I didn't want to sit here and say such ugly words, but isn't she just a cold and a fever? It's not because of her serious illness. As for being with her on purpose? I see how she treats you. Heart, but you definitely don't care so much about him!"
