Chapter 69 - "I know. It wasn't you who said it." (2)

When the second aunt heard that, she slammed her
bowl down onto the table and said, "What do you
mean by that, sister-in-law? My brother is still pretty healthy. I don't think you need to rush to look for a daughter-in-law yet, do you now?"

Wang Lia pursed her lips a little and tried to save
the situation. "Little sister-in-law that's not what I
meant. I think you are reading too much into it."

"Sister-in-law, do you think that your son Sehun is
the son of Mu's but Jungkook is not? What do you mean by the Mu's business will become his in the end?"

Mu Dara looked at Wang Li's hands that were
covered in grease from peeling the braised pawns
and said with subtext.

"Disgusting."

Mu Dara was old madam's favorite daughter. Wang
Lia wasn't bold enough to go up against her in
front of the old madam. She could only force a smile and said, "Aiya, look at me. I was just worry about Sehun was all. Little sister-in-law, you should keep an eye out for Sehun too."

Mu Dara snickered, picked up a prawn and brought
it over to Xu Lisa's and said, "Lisa, I know you
need to watch your shape as an actress. Prawns
should be alright though, right?"

Xu Lisa thanked her and, before she could bring
her bowl over to take the prawn, Mu Jungkook took it away with his chopsticks.

"I'll peel it for you." He said as he gave her a deep
and meaningful look. He then skillfully peeled the
prawns and put it inside of her bowl.

Mu Dara had on a loving smile the entire time and said in a neither friendly nor distant tone, "Look at them. They are so in love. It's all about finding your own partner in this day and age. Somethings just can't be forced. This matchmaking thing doesn't always work. There's no love to speak of, when two are together because of money."

The old madam didn't like this either. She purposefully ate loudly to show her displeasure.

Seeing that most everyone had stopped talking, Xu Lisa picked up the napkin, wiped her mouth,
looked up and asked, "Old Madam, Jungkook mentioned Sehun's illness to me previously. His back is sore and he feels chilly all the time, and has some dizziness and ringing in the ears. It sounded a lot like the symptoms that a friend of mine had a while ago."

The old madam didn't care for Xu Lisa, but when
her younger grandson's illness was brought up, her
eyes lit up reflexively. "And what happened to your
friend?"

"Just like Sehun's illness, he went to a lot of doctors
to no avail. Finally, he went to a traditional doctor
and was given a prescription that ended up curing
him." Having said that, she looked over to Mu Jungkook. "I can refer the doctor when the mu's designated doctor is over."

The old madam was like a whole different person
all of a sudden, "That works. Have him come by
tomorrow then?"

"Sure." Xu Lisa nodded and said, "Most definitely."
After dinner, Mu Jungkook went to smoke in the
garden.

Xu Lisa took a dinner plate, picked some fruits
for Mu Sehun, and brought it into his room.

Mu Sehun had retreated back into his own room to
recover after the fight with Xu Lisa earlier in the
day. Watching her walked inside of his room, his face was dark like a piece of coal.

"What are you doing here?" He propped his body up and coughed. "Visiting me will not help you achieve your goal of marrying into a prestigious family."

Xu Lisa smiled at him sweetly and slowly walked
over to his bed. She put the fruits down on his nigh
table and retorted nonchalantly. "I brought some
fruits for you, but you don't need to eat them if you
think I might have poisoned them."

Having said that she chanted a spell quickly and
removed the spell that was placed on him - that
was requested by Mu Jungkook. She finally had the
opportunity to stay far enough away from him so she could use her magic. She must make good use to it.
