Chapter 108 The Young Master and the Ghost Bride 8
Every time the master made his mistress angry, the servants would enjoy the music for a whole day. But this time, it seemed not to be so wonderful. The music had been played for several days, but Master Chu had not opened the door.
Mo Heng saw Qu Niang coming as if he had seen a savior. He hurried to the bedroom, knocked gently on the door, and whispered to the beauty inside: "Xiaojun, Qu Niang is here to measure your clothes. Don't be angry. If you have any unhappiness, measure the clothes first~"
Mo Heng understood his lover well. When Chu Jun heard that there were other people around, she softened her heart and gave Mo Heng enough face in front of outsiders.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened.
Mo Heng, who had not been able to enter the room for two days, finally got to be intimate with his wife as he wished, and he smiled foolishly.
Chu Jun's waist was still aching slightly. Looking at the attentive man in front of her, she was dissatisfied with everything about him. She decided to turn away and not be annoyed. She looked away without even glancing at Mo Heng.
"Qu Niang is here, let's go to the side room." Chu Yun greeted Qu Niang.
Of course, outsiders are not allowed to enter the master's bedroom. Chu Jun walked towards the side yard with a dog.
"Madam, are you tired of walking? Let me support you, come." When Mo Heng saw Chu Jun, he naturally couldn't miss the opportunity to show his courtesy in front of his wife. He didn't care that there were outsiders watching. He didn't have the airs of a head of the family at all, and it was confirmed that he was a wife-slave.
Chu Jun was indeed feeling a little uncomfortable now. Mo Heng had made such a big fuss the day before yesterday. He didn't want him to be treated too well, but he also had to consider Mo Heng's face. Helplessly, he stretched out a hand to Mo Heng.
"Hey, Madam, slow down." It's a pity that the lackey Mo Heng didn't accept the face thrown by Chu Jun at all, and now he has lost all his dignity in front of outsiders.
Qu Niang, who was following behind, lowered her head and stared at the tip of her shoes, her eyes at her nose, her nose at her mouth, and her mouth at her heart, pretending that she did not exist.
It's better for us not to get involved in the affairs of these wealthy families. Although Mr. Chu is a gentle man, Qu Niang, as a native of Suzhuang, has heard a little about how cruel and decisive the Master of the Mo family is. It is not a good thing to be hated by this Master.
Qu Niangguai followed the two adults, measured Madam Mo's height in a proper manner, and then left in a hurry.
"Have some shame, there are outsiders here." Chu Jun said embarrassedly as he pushed the man who kept getting closer to her.
After half an hour of measuring clothes, Chu Jun was finally worn out by Mo Heng.
Now that Qu Niang had left, Chu Jun felt that what Mo Heng had just done was truly embarrassing.
Mo Heng looked at the young man in front of him who looked like an eighteen-year-old boy. He had obviously been married for many years, but he still looked at him with a red face and an angry look.
Mo Heng felt that this was clearly an attempt to seduce him, but he had to hold it in. He had a hard time expressing his feelings.
------
Doctor Hu was a miracle doctor invited by Mo Heng a few years ago. Chu Yun's body was very weak back then, and she spent most of those months lying in bed. Doctor Hu racked his brains and collected all kinds of precious medicinal materials from all over the country to Suzhuang, just for the beauty that was in Young Master Mo's heart.
From June to August, Chu Jun's health gradually improved, and by October he had fully recovered. Only then did Mo Heng feel relieved to get married.
Mo Heng felt that Chu Yun's recovery was thanks to Doctor Hu, so he kept him in the Mo Mansion, providing him with good food and drink, in case Chu Yun's health deteriorated again, there would be someone to help him.
In fact, only Doctor Hu himself knew that he had no idea about Mrs. Mo's illness at the time. Chu Yun's illness was strange, and her recovery was also strange. The whole thing had little to do with him.
"Maybe it was replenished by various medicinal herbs." This was the only way Doctor Hu could explain the strangeness of Chu Yun.
This winter, Doctor Hu was called again, not because Chu Yun had any problems, but because the Mo family master, who had always been healthy since childhood, fell ill.
Mo Heng's face was pale, and the brocade robe he was wearing looked loose and weak. His long black hair was scattered, no longer having the luster of the past.
His room was filled with the aroma of medicine, and the copper stove beside his bed was burning refreshing spices, but it could not cover up the bitter smell of illness.
Mo Heng's fingers rested weakly on the edge of the bed, their fingertips trembling slightly. His breathing became shallow and rapid, and every cough seemed to exhaust all his strength.
The beautiful Mrs. Mo was beside him, with a worried look on her face. She gently changed the cooling towel on his forehead, hoping to bring him some relief.
The spring light outside the window was still bright, but Mo Heng could only lie on his sickbed, unable to appreciate the spring scenery in the garden. His figure looked particularly lonely among the gorgeous curtains.
"Doctor Hu, what happened to my master? Why did he suddenly become so seriously ill?" The beauty who was always cold and aloof outside had red eyes at this moment. She must have just cried, but she pretended to be strong and asked Doctor Hu.
Mo Heng had been feeling unwell for a few days, and now he was unconscious. Chu Jun had been dealing with the mountain of things that had piled up over the past few days. As the other master of the Mo family, he couldn't leave the family business in his hands.
However, the reason why Mrs. Mo cried was probably because the person lying on the bed was the one she loved deeply.
After a thorough examination, Doctor Hu, although he was very reluctant, still told the truth: "Mr. Chu, the main disease of the Mo family is strange, and I am incompetent." As he said that, Doctor Hu lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Jun's reaction.
Chu Jun couldn't believe it. It was just a common fever, how could Mo Heng be so ill and bedridden?
The news of the Mo family master's illness reached the ears of the old master and the old lady. They rushed back to the main house from the holiday villa dozens of kilometers away.
In Mo Heng's bedroom, Mo Linwei and Dou looked at the young master beside the bed, not knowing how to start.
Dou thought back to the first time she met Chu Yun seven years ago.
At that time, the young master had just recovered from a serious illness, and his son finally agreed to let them see his beloved. This sight was shocking. How could such a good girl become a young master?
Mo Linwei, who was still Master Mo at the time, was threatened by his own son's gaze and did not lose face in front of Chu Yun. However, although Dou Shi did not say so, she had long since stopped supporting Chu Yun's identity as a man.
Such a gentle and refined nobleman had to be locked up in this backyard as a woman for the sake of his son. As a woman, Dou felt it was not worth it for Chu Yun.
This society is overly harsh on women. Even a woman like Dou, who is respected by her husband, cannot have any say in her husband's business.
Chu Yun marrying her son meant that there were too many things that he could not do, so Dou always felt that she owed this child, for being favored by her son and trapped in this small place.
"Father, Mother." Chu Jun was sitting by the bed wiping Mo Heng's sweat. When he saw the two of them coming, he quickly stood up and saluted the old patriarch and Dou.
Dou looked at her daughter-in-law, who had lost a lot of weight, and quickly asked her to sit back down before asking, "How is Heng'er? Did Doctor Hu say anything?"
Chu Jun had calmed down by now, not showing any sign of weakness, but with a worried look on his face. Mo Heng had been in a coma for three days. Chu Jun had sought out many famous doctors, but none of them could give an accurate explanation, and he did not know the cause of the illness.
"We still haven't found the reason why Ah Heng fell ill this time, but fortunately his fever has temporarily subsided. I just don't know why he still hasn't woken up." Chu Jun looked at Dou and explained.
Upon hearing this, Dou couldn't help but tear up. Mo Heng had been a sensible and independent-minded person since he was young. He had never given her, his mother, any worries since he was old enough to understand. Looking at her son languishing on the bed, Dou felt that the world was truly unpredictable. Why had her own child to suffer such hardships?
The air pressure in the Mo Mansion dropped due to the patriarch's illness.
The turning point came the next day when a Taoist priest came to the door.
