[2] THE LITTLE DARLING WIFE WHO IS A DIVINE DOCTOR SAVED THE ENTIRE FAMILY

Ch 401 - 402

C401: The Family Reunion Dinner

Mo Qing saw a moment of stunnedness flash across the face of the person in front of him.

Old Lady Mo quickly introduced, "Master, this is A'Rui and Madam Mei."

She did not directly state Nan Rui and Consort De's true identities, as Nan Rui had previously instructed that from now on, they would no longer be Prince Rui and Imperial Consort De.

Mo Qing probably recognized the two, so Old Lady Mo figured a simple introduction would be enough for him to identify them.

The titles were somewhat unfamiliar to Mo Qing, but he knew his old wife well and understood that she would only introduce people he knew to him.

So Mo Qing took a good look at Nan Rui and his mother. After a long while, he finally had a sense of sudden realization, and also felt incredible disbelief.

If it had been just one familiar face, he could have brushed it off, but with both Nan Rui and his mother - two very familiar people - standing together, Mo Qing had to believe that the people before him were none other than the current Prince Rui and Imperial Consort De.

He just did not understand why the mother and son would appear in such a barren place as the northwest.

No wonder Mo Qing was puzzled. On his way back from the west, he had been drifting in and out of consciousness in the carriage, and his sons did not tell him too much so he could rest properly.

After returning to Xiling Village, the family immediately discussed military affairs, then prepared for the family reunion banquet. So Mo Qing knew nothing about what Nan Rui and the Consort were doing in the northwest.

Seeing his family and two old friends treat Nan Rui and his mother's presence as normal, it was clear that there was nothing odd about them being in Xiling Village.

Even with countless questions in mind, Mo Qing still tried his best to remain calm on the surface.

When introducing them, his wife had addressed them as A'Rui and Madam Mei - there must be some hidden reasons behind this, and he should not pry.

"Hahaha...welcome, welcome. Today we happen to have a family reunion banquet, please take a seat."

He could not stand up, so he simply gestured to invite them to sit.

He did not intend to give up the host's seat to anyone.

The current Mo Qing did not have a very good impression of the Nans. His hospitality was just to avoid spoiling the atmosphere, not true friendliness.

As for how to deal with Nan Rui and his mother in the future, he would have to find out more before deciding.

Nan Rui had always been gentle and refined. Even as a prince, he interacted with others in a down-to-earth way.

Seeing Mo Qing's invitation, he politely took a seat below Mo Qing and Old Lady Mo together with Consort De, showing no discomfort at all with sitting in that position.

At this moment, not only was Mo Qing puzzled by Nan Rui and his mother's situation, Mo Junrui and Mo Jiacheng were also very curious.

But like their father, they tried their best to restrain their curiosity with so many people around, planning to ask the guests after they left.

Unexpectedly, during the meal, Nan Rui took the initiative to tell them about his circumstances.

For a while, Mo Qing could not determine whether Nan Rui was truly tired of power, or had other motives. In any case, he could not completely trust him.
