Chapter 238: 238 Delivering Medicine (Second Update)

After all, she was about to become the fiancée of the Mo family’s patriarch.

Compared to the Mo family, what counted the life-saving benefactor of Mo Qianjue?

Li Ruyu nodded with a smile in her eyes and said, "Alright, alright, let’s go now. Old Sun has been waiting outside."

"Old Sun, to Phoenix Manor." Once they were in the car, Li Ruyu instructed the driver.

Phoenix Manor.

A well-known gathering place for the powerful in Capital City, those who lived there were people who could hold up half the sky in Capital City.

Just thinking about how she would soon be living at Phoenix Manor long-term made Zhao Yiling’s heart race uncontrollably.

By then, she would be the envy of all the famous young ladies in Capital City!

The car was fast and, after about twenty minutes, the black Mercedes stopped at the grand entrance of Phoenix Manor.

Gazing at the majestic gates of the manor, Zhao Yiling took a deep breath, and her recently calmed heart began to flutter again.

"Mom, can you check if my makeup has smeared or if my hairdo is messed up?" Zhao Yiling looked nervously at Li Ruyu.

After all, she was about to meet her future mother-in-law, so Zhao Yiling was, naturally, a bit anxious.

Li Ruyu shook her head with great affection, "No, no, my daughter is the most beautiful."

Mother and daughter, both smiling, walked towards the interior of Phoenix Manor, but as they approached the gate, they were stopped by two imposing guards.

"Excuse me, ladies, please present your passes!"

"Passes?" Li Ruyu frowned slightly. "What passes?"

"Without a pass, no one is allowed inside!"

"What a joke!" Li Ruyu snorted coldly, lifting her chin in arrogance, "Do you know who I am? I am the prospective in-law of Old Master Mo! This is my daughter, the future daughter-in-law of the Mo family. You must be blind as dogs, not even recognizing who you’re dealing with! Be careful I don’t make you lose your jobs!"

One guard, with a stone-faced expression, repeated, "Without a pass, no one is allowed inside!"

Facing such resolute guards, Li Ruyu’s face turned red with anger!

She, a noblewoman from a prominent family, had never suffered such humiliation.

A mere gatekeeper daring to stop her! It was simply ridiculous!

Zhao Yiling patted Li Ruyu’s hand, then looked up at the guards with a soft voice, "Could you give us a little leeway? We really are important guests of Old Master Mo’s wife. Please let us through."

"No, can’t do," the guard shook his head, "Without a pass, no one can enter. It’s our duty. We hope you understand."

"What if we insist on going in!"

As she said this, Li Ruyu attempted to barge in with Zhao Yiling in tow.

Only when two cold guns were positioned in front of them did the expressions of both Li Ruyu and Zhao Yiling change as they quickly retreated several meters.

"Mom, think of something," Zhao Yiling said, a bit frantic, "Maybe you can call Old Master Mo’s wife to come out and get us."

Li Ruyu sighed, "I don’t have Old Master Mo’s wife’s contact information."

Both times, it had been Old Master Mo’s wife who had come to her of her own accord. Apart from knowing that the Mo family’s old residence was in Phoenix Manor, she knew nothing else about the Mo family.

She had thought that as long as they could get into Phoenix Manor smoothly, that would be enough. She had not anticipated the guards here to be so strict.

Even a gatekeeper could carry a gun!

The Mo family was truly formidable!

"So, what do we do now?" Zhao Yiling hadn’t expected this outcome. Her heart, filled with excitement upon arriving, was now faced with the realization that they couldn’t even get through the gates of Phoenix Manor. "Did we come here for nothing today?"

"Ling’er," Li Ruyu glanced at Zhao Yiling, "Let’s go back for now. I’ll think of a way to contact Old Master Mo’s wife when we get home."

Although she didn’t want to just go back like this, there was nothing else they could do at the moment other than returning.

Reluctant to leave just yet, Zhao Yiling suggested, "Mom, let’s wait in the car for a while. Maybe Old Master Mo’s wife will come out later."

Seeing her daughter like this, Li Ruyu couldn’t bear to refuse and nodded, "Alright, let’s wait in the car then."

The mother and daughter got into the car, but unfortunately, they waited for a long time without seeing the Mo family matriarch come out.

**

Goryeo Nation.

A well-known cosmetic surgery hospital.

Inside a VIP ward.

A middle-aged woman was feeding porridge to a young woman whose face was wrapped in gauze.

"Nannan, the Ninth Madame called today."

Hearing this, the young woman quickly swallowed the porridge, "Mom, what did the Ninth Madame say?"

The Ninth Madame’s initiative in calling must surely mean there was some new situation to inform them about.

The middle-aged woman spoke slowly, "The Ninth Madame has found a medicine that can rapidly heal wounds, reducing your recovery period from three months to one month. Someone will deliver it today."

"Cutting down from three months to one month?" The young woman expressed her apprehension, "But won’t such a shortcut medicine have any side effects on the human body?"

The full-body modification surgery was already impactful on the human body and might even shorten one’s lifespan. Now she worried her body couldn’t handle taking such shortcut medicine.

"What are you afraid of?" The middle-aged woman glanced at her, her tone somewhat harsh, "Could the Ninth Madame harm you? Don’t you want to recover sooner, return to Capital City earlier, and complete the task the Ninth Madame has given you?"

"Mom, don’t be angry," the young woman clasped her mother’s hand, "I just said it casually without any other meaning. When the Ninth Madame sends the medicine, I’ll take it."

"That’s more like it." The middle-aged woman nodded, satisfied, and spoke with a heavy heart, "Nannan, Mom is doing this for your own good. If it were anyone else, Mom wouldn’t even spare them a second glance. I’ve already arranged with Doctor Zhao, once you’ve taken the medicine the Ninth Madame sends, we’ll proceed with the leg-lengthening surgery. Let’s aim to leave the hospital next month."

"So soon?" The young woman asked in surprise, "Didn’t you say we have to wait for the gauze to be removed before doing the leg-lengthening surgery?"

The middle-aged woman smiled, "Isn’t the Ninth Madame’s Miracle Drug here? As long as you take the Miracle Drug the Ninth Madame sends over, maybe you can remove the gauze this afternoon."

Just the thought of her daughter recovering two months earlier filled the middle-aged woman’s eyes with a bright light.

The young woman nodded, "Okay, Mom, I understand."

While they were talking,

’Knock, knock, knock’ a rhythmetic knocking broke the relative silence of the ward.

The middle-aged woman immediately got up to open the door and saw a young woman in a blue dress standing there. The visitor’s eyes showed a flicker of confusion when looking at the middle-aged woman, but she soon spoke quite politely, "Hello, may I speak to Miss Shen Minjie?"

"Yes, yes, that’s me," the middle-aged woman answered eagerly, nodding, "Are you the one sent by the Ninth Madame?"

Jia Zhuo gave a slight nod and handed over the porcelain bottle she was holding, "Right, the Ninth Madame asked me to deliver this to you."

This middle-aged woman was obviously a mundane person of extreme ordinariness; how could Chuyi be involved with a commoner? And why the urgency to send medicine over such a great distance?

Although Jia Zhuo was puzzled, her expression betrayed none of her thoughts.

"It’s been a long journey for you, Miss," Shen Minjie said as she took the porcelain bottle happily, then continued, "May I ask if the Ninth Madame had any other messages for me?"

Jia Zhuo shook her head, "No, that’s all." After saying that, she turned and left.

Watching Jia Zhuo’s receding figure, Shen Minjie couldn’t help but inwardly remark with admiration, the people following the Ninth Madame were indeed of the finest mettle in appearance and demeanor.

"Mom, has the Ninth Madame arrived?" Hearing Shen Minjie’s footsteps, the young woman inquired.

Shen Minjie’s lips curved slightly, "Such a person of the Ninth Madame’s status? How could she possibly come to a place like this herself? It was one of her subordinates."

Saying that, Shen Minjie unscrewed the cap of the porcelain bottle, poured out a black pill, and brought it to the young woman’s lips, "Come on, open your mouth and take the medicine."

The young woman hesitated for a moment and then gently opened her mouth, allowing the black pill to quickly dissolve in her mouth.

It wasn’t as bitter as imagined; in fact, it tasted quite sweet.
