Just after noon, Ji Nuan took medicine under Mo Jingshen's supervision. Although her fever was gone, she was given another cold medicine.
This caused her to take another nap in the afternoon, and when she woke up again, it was still daylight but it was almost evening.
The room was quiet. Ji Nuan got up and walked out. He didn't see Mo Jingshen and thought he was in the study. He turned around to look for him in the study but couldn't find anyone.
"Madam, you're awake." The servant heard the voice and came over: "Are you looking for Mr. Mo?"
Ji Nuan looked back at the servant, not only did she not see Mo Jingshen, but Mrs. Chen was not there either.
"Mo Jingshen went to the company?"
Could it be that the company had some urgent matters and he needed to go there
"Mr. Mo is greeting the guests downstairs."
"guest?"
Except for Ji Mengran, who got a license some time ago and often comes here, there are no other relatives or friends who come here usually.
The elders of the Ji family and the Mo family have not been here in the past six months. If they want to see them, they usually ask them to go back instead of coming to Yuyuan.
So where did the guests come from all of a sudden
But since someone had come, Ji Nuan's current state of being sick and wearing pajamas was really inappropriate. When she saw the servant turning around and going to work, she simply went back to the room to change her clothes and make herself look energetic. After feeling better, I walked out again.
Just as he walked down the stairs, before he could see who was coming, he only heard a woman's voice: "Depth of field, you must be very busy now, right? You really rarely go back to Mo's house recently. Hey, there are so many things at home. Waiting for you to take over, but you are still young and want to start your own business, and the Mo family's company in the United States also needs... "
The voice suddenly paused because of Ji Nuan's appearance, and the sincere tone suddenly turned into a mocking tone: "Miss Ji, are you awake? Sure enough, she was raised in a pampered way and doesn't usually work. It’s okay to just stay at home, but you wake up so late every day, what a rich lady who doesn’t know the sufferings of the world!”
"She is sick. I asked her to continue sleeping until now after taking medicine." Mo Jingshen looked at Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan recognized the person and walked over: "Cousin, I'm so sorry. The servant didn't tell me it was you."
This is Mo Jingshen's cousin Mo Peilin. She is the daughter of Mr. Mo's younger brother. She can only be regarded as a distant relative. However, people of Mr. Mo's generation are familiar with each other, so the following juniors have established themselves in Haicheng. We would often meet him at various banquets of the Mo family.
Mo Peilin seemed not to hear Ji Nuan's words and only glanced at her coolly.
"Don't worry about which family's daughter you are. Now that you have entered the Mo family, you can no longer treat this place as your own home. There are no rules or courtesy at all. Depth of field, you have to take care of it as you should. You can't be so indulgent."
Mo Jingshen's eyebrows were dull: "This is the imperial garden, not the Mo family. She doesn't need to follow any rules."
"That's not okay. Although it's not an old age anymore, it would be outrageous if the Mo family's daughter-in-law is always so ignorant and lazy!"
Mo Jingshen smiled coldly, ignoring her obviously unkind words. Seeing that Ji Nuan was still standing there, he said softly: "Aren't you tired of standing? Come and sit down."
Ji Nuan laughed, walked over obediently, and sat next to him in front of Mo Peilin.
Seeing them sitting so close, Mo Peilin's expression suddenly turned ugly for no reason.
Daughter Mo Jiaxue, who was sitting next to Mo Peilin, also had her eyes closed, her expression not looking very happy.
Mrs. Chen brought over a pot of good tea she had brought back from Mo's house, and at Mo Jingshen's signal, she left the hot water on the coffee table.
"Are you feeling better?" Mo Jingshen poured a cup of hot water for Ji Nuan. She had a cold now and couldn't drink tea.
"I've been eating and sleeping all day, and I feel much better now." Ji Nuan smiled and sat next to him, as if she didn't see the increasingly ugly expressions on the mother and daughter's faces.
"You also know that all you have to do is eat and sleep? What a lazy person! Jing Shen has been married to you for more than half a year, and I haven't seen you go back to Mo's house until now. Those who don't know think that we, Jing Shen, are still single." He was ignored. Mo Peilin rolled her eyes for a long time and said, "Miss Ji is really affectionate. A minor illness can make Jing Shen put aside the company's affairs and stay with you at home to take care of you."
Ji Nuan turned to look at her: "Cousin, there is still more than a week before Grandpa Mo's eightieth birthday. I am preparing to go back to see him when he celebrates his birthday."
"If you don't go back when Mr. Mo has his birthday, I'm afraid you won't have to enter the Mo family again!" Mo Peilin snorted.
Ji Nuan raised her beautiful eyebrows calmly and said in a scornful tone: "He is already busy enough at ordinary times. I don't go back very often. Isn't it just to give him more quiet time?"
Mo Peilin's expression froze, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction.
What Ji Nuan meant was that in order to cling to the Mo family's thighs, these relatives, who could not be beaten by eight sticks, spent all day trying to win over the family affection, which caused Mr. Mo to have no quiet time at all.
"Ha! It's really better for you to go back less, so that the Mo family doesn't have to look at your face!" Mo Peilin's face was a little embarrassed, and her tone was also very harsh: "I don't know what kind of evil the depth of field is, but just look at it. Fuck you!"
Mo Jingshen frowned because of Mo Peilin's tone and attitude in questioning Ji Nuan, with a look of indifference between his brows.
Mo Peilin's voice then raised a few decibels: "You didn't know what was going on at the time. You never had a good look when you got married, and you haven't heard anything about it since you got married. I think you don't want to live a good life at all! Then why are you still occupying the title of Mrs. Mo? Get divorced as soon as possible and let us, Depth of Field, be free! There are so many good girls who want to marry him! Such a big sea city is worthy of our ladies and daughters of Depth of Field. There are thousands of them!"
Mo Jingshen suddenly spoke with a cold tone: "Sister-in-law Chen, see you off."
She could hear the coldness and anger in his words. Ji Nuan didn't say a word, but she took the initiative to put her hand in his palm and gently pressed his palm, indicating that she would not care about these words.
Mo Peilin had no intention of leaving at all. She sat on the sofa and refused to leave: "Depth of field, I haven't finished speaking yet! I made a special trip to Mo's today, but they said you didn't go to the company today! Since it must be If you want to start your own business, of course the company's affairs are more important, but you actually take care of Ji Nuan at home!"
"I have my own sense of what is light and what is serious. I don't need my cousin to worry about it." Mo Jingshen's eyes were still cold, and the politeness he maintained at the beginning was gone.
"Originally, as an elder, I didn't want to sit here and say such ugly things, but didn't she just catch a cold or have a fever? It's not that she was seriously ill, so why would she go out of her way to accompany her? I see how much she treats you. He definitely doesn’t care as much as you do about him!”
