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

Ch 549 - 550

C549: Surely will keep the Mo family carefree

If Mo Jiuye didn't refute him, it meant the other party had tacitly agreed, which also indirectly indicated Nan Yu's stance.

Mo Jiuye indeed didn't argue back, but his thoughts were not as Nan Rui had imagined.

The Mo Family had already suffered persecution from the court and couldn't possibly do anything that might harm their own people for the sake of a little loyalty.

The reason he didn't take a stand was that he already had his own plans.

If Nan Yu truly became the legendary emperor as recorded in history, he believed in his own abilities; even without the Mo Family's assistance, he would secure that position.

Moreover, since the Mo Family no longer existed in historical records, in his mind, after resolving the current crisis, the Mo Family was dispensable to Nan Yu.

And he himself hadn't forgotten his original intention; becoming the Lord of the Western Town, he only hoped the Mo Family could have a land of their own.

Nan Yu also understood the implication in Nan Rui's words; he also felt that Mo Jiuye's silence was consent, so he immediately declared his position to show his sincerity.

"Don't worry, Lord Jiuye, I, Nan Yu, am as good as my word. As long as I'm here, the Mo Family will be safe and sound."

Mo Jiuye simply took it as it was; besides ensuring his family's well-being, he didn't wish for more.

Facing a topic he didn't want to discuss, Mo Jiuye just glossed over it.

...

If it weren't for the sudden change in circumstances, Mo Jiuye would need to rush back to the northwest to receive orders; he and He Zhiran would have waited until Minister Hao successfully resigned before returning together.

But plans changed swiftly, and they had to return now.

They had the advantage of the Grand G, which would save them a lot of time on the road, but others didn't know that.

No matter how one calculated, it would still take them nearly half a month to rush back to the northwest; even for the sake of deception, they had to set off at this time.

Though it was for the sake of deception, the two still chose the Grand G as their means of transportation.

On the way, they would come out of hiding every three days to travel for a night. When they reached impoverished areas, they would provide relief using the funds they had obtained from the treasury.

Despite deliberately delaying their journey, the two arrived in the northwest on the twelfth day after leaving the capital.

Upon entering the northwest, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran immediately sensed a tense atmosphere.

The bustling streets were now deserted, with most shop doors locked; only a few remained open, but they were empty, with no business at all.

The doors of the common folk's houses were tightly shut as well, occasionally one would crack open slightly for a peek outside, then quickly shut again...

This atmosphere was not unfamiliar to Mo Jiuye; in the border regions where he used to station before his exile, when conflicts broke out, the surrounding populace would be in a similar state.

At times even worse, where the people would choose to abandon their homes and flee with their loved ones.

Therefore, judging from the state of the northwestern people, it can be preliminarily concluded that although the war has started here, it has not reached the point of a major enemy invasion, or rather, the barbarian army has not attacked yet.
