Chapter 168 Returning to Luoyang
After a long and arduous journey, Li Mo'er and Shen Zicen finally returned to Luocheng.
Li Mo'er originally wanted Shen Zicen to go back to the mansion with her to rest for a while, but he insisted on going to the escort agency first.
Seeing Shen Zicen's tired face, Li Mo'er was worried and decided to wait for him at the entrance of the security agency.
But Shen Zicen probably really had something to tell him, because almost an incense stick had burned, and he still hadn't come out.
Li's Salt Shop wasn't far from the escort agency, so Li Mo'er decided to take a look at the shop on the way.
Upon entering the shop, she found only a few scattered customers. She had anticipated this situation, which was why she was in a hurry to expand her sales channels.
“Welcome~”
Li Lin didn't even look up; he reflexively spoke as soon as he sensed someone coming in.
Li Mo'er walked to the counter, staring at Li Lin's hands that were still busy calculating, without making a sound to disturb him.
Li Lin was still doing the calculations, scratching her head from time to time. She wasn't familiar with these numbers yet, and although she was faster than before, it was still a bit difficult.
"A total of three hundred and twenty-four taels and five mace."
Li Mo'er stared at those numbers and quickly stated the total.
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes! It's three hundred and twenty..." Four taels and five mace.
As Li Lin was speaking, he looked up as if he suddenly realized something, and when he saw that it was Li Mo'er, he abruptly stopped talking.
She happily walked out, picked up Li Mo'er, and started spinning her around.
"Sister Mo'er, you're finally back."
Li Mo'er felt dizzy from being spun around by Li Lin, so she patted her shoulder to signal her to put her down.
Li Lin scratched his head sheepishly, looking completely different from his slightly shrewd demeanor just moments before.
Li Lin's voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of other customers, and even Uncle Li and Aunt Li from behind came out after hearing it.
"Mo'er has lost weight."
Li Mo'er scratched her head sheepishly, "No, I've definitely gained weight."
She didn't see Su Yanli, so she strained to look inside.
"Don't bother looking anymore, I sent Yanli to Jishetang."
Jishengtang? Is Yanli feeling unwell again?
Before Li Mo'er could even ask, Li Tianming could see the worry in her eyes.
"I was worried that Yanli would be bored here, and it's rather chaotic here, so I sent him to Jishetang."
Li Mo'er nodded, pretended to stroll around the shop, and then came out.
She's been away from home for too long and is starting to miss and feel alienated from them.
Thinking of Shen Zicen at the escort agency, she didn't dare to delay and hurried back.
As it turned out, the guard told her that Shen Zicen had come out as soon as she left and was probably home by now.
Li Mo'er nodded and went directly to Jishetang.
The area outside Jishetang was filled with patients, who lined up in an orderly fashion, while Jingmo took care of them.
Li Mo'er watched Wang Jingmo directing the patients, then quietly walked behind him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Doctor, I need you to treat my illness."
Li Mo'er lowered her voice, afraid that he would recognize her.
But Wang Jingmo quickly recognized her as Li Mo'er, the person he had been thinking about day and night for the past few days.
These days, he keeps himself so busy that he doesn't have time to think about her, which makes him feel a little better.
Seeing Wang Jingmo standing still without moving, Li Mo'er assumed she had frightened him and was about to speak.
Wang Jingmo turned around and hugged her, not caring that there were other people outside.
He missed Li Mo'er terribly. Li Mo'er blushed slightly as she looked at the people around her.
But instead of pushing Wang Jingmo away, she gently patted his back.
She did miss them.
Hearing the murmurs around him, Wang Jingmo, with tears in his eyes, left Li Mo'er's embrace.
He lowered his head and pulled Li Mo'er inside.
Yanli is still inside; he probably misses Mo'er a lot too.
To avoid being seen by his mother, Wang Jingmo deliberately took Li Mo'er through the back door.
Li Mo'er saw Su Yanli resting with her eyes closed on the soft chair. After not seeing her for more than half a month, her belly had grown even bigger.
Wang Jingmo whispered in Li Mo'er's ear, "My mother said that the baby will be born in two months at most."
Excitement flashed in Li Mo'er's eyes. She was going to be a mother, but she still felt like a child.
Jishetang
"That woman just now actually seduced Doctor Wang's son, trying to get him to take her through the back door."
"Yeah, that's so rude."
"It seems that the rule of first come, first served is about to be broken."
……
Dr. Wang's temples throbbed as he listened to the patients' discussions.
Who on earth dares to seduce her son? Doesn't he know he's already taken?
Doctor Wang was furious. Mo'er hadn't even returned yet, and someone had already broken into their house.
She apologized to the patient and explained that she would never let someone cut in line see the doctor first, then went to the back of the hospital to check on the situation.
The other patients weren't complaining either; it was for their own good, otherwise if someone cut in line, they wouldn't get a turn in the future.
This Jishetang is the only place that can provide free medical care to the poor every month, and it is not afraid of the powerful and wealthy. There are queues for medical treatment, and it never shows favoritism to the rich.
Therefore, they also supported Dr. Wang in seeking justice for them.
"Jingmo, which wild woman did you bring back?"
Doctor Wang, still angry, didn't stop his voice, waking Su Yanli from her dream.
Seeing Su Yanli tremble, Li Mo'er quickly went over to hug and comfort him.
When Su Yanli saw that it was Li Mo'er, tears welled up in her eyes, and she hugged Li Mo'er tightly.
However, Li Mo'er had her back to Doctor Wang, and Doctor Wang only saw tears in Su Yanli's eyes, assuming that she had been forced.
"So you dare to bully a man in broad daylight, huh? Watch me..."
Dr. Wang looked around for any suitable tools, and finally his gaze fell on a shovel.
He picked up a shovel and was about to swing it when he shouted, "I'll beat you to death!"
"Mother! It's Mo'er."
In an emergency, Wang Jingmo heard a sound and came out. He had only been pouring water for a short while, and this was how he ended up.
Li Mo'er and Su Yanli were still tightly embracing each other, completely immersed in their own world.
Actually, Li Mo'er heard Doctor Wang's shouting, but she didn't turn around. She thought Doctor Wang had already recognized her, which was why she paused.
She never expected that Dr. Wang's pause was to look for a shovel; otherwise, she would have definitely turned around to take a look.
Hearing Wang Jingmo's anxious call, Li Mo'er quickly turned around with a fawning smile.
"Hehe, Mom, it's me."
Looking at the unreliable Li Mo'er, Dr. Wang's anger subsided considerably. "You brat, you didn't even tell me you were coming back."
"I came to see you as soon as I got back!"
Doctor Wang rolled his eyes. "You came to see me? You came to see your two husbands, didn't you!"
Once Dr. Wang realized it was Li Mo'er, she felt relieved and went back to seeing patients, leaving the three of them to catch up.
As soon as Doctor Wang stepped into the pharmacy hall, a group of people stared at her.
"Oh, my son's wife is back, she's not an outsider."
The others also breathed a sigh of relief and began to chatter amongst themselves, though their emotions were not as intense as before.
