Looking at Li Yue Shu's appearance, Doctor Meng also felt heartbroken, especially thinking of his own guess, he felt even more sorry for her.
"Girl, you have a bitter fate," Doctor Meng's heart ached.
"My fate is not bitter," Li Yue Shu shook her head with a gentle smile. "I have four lovely children, and a husband who loves me. I should thank them for selling me, so I don't have to wash clothes in the cold river water in winter, wear my sister's old clothes, or eat bran anymore."
Although what she said was a bit dramatic, it was all factual.
Qin Mo Yuan, who was suddenly mentioned, was stunned. His ears turned red at a visible speed.
A Shu... A Shu just called him husband?!
Qin Mo Yuan's eyes sparkled. His already beautiful eyes seemed to flicker with countless stars.
His gaze was too obvious; even if Li Yue Shu and Doctor Meng wanted to ignore it, it was difficult.
Li Yue Shu's ears also turned red before she realized what she had just said so casually.
Doctor Meng looked at Qin Mo Yuan with admiration and curiosity.
This man looked extraordinary, and must not be an ordinary person. He seemed to truly love Li girl, but could such a person truly raise someone else's children without any reservations, especially four of them?
Doctor Meng harbored deep doubts, but his own guesses were just his own thoughts, and it was naturally inconvenient to say some things.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Yue Shu again. "Li girl, may I presume to ask you a few questions?"
Li Yue Shu nodded obediently.
Seeing this, Doctor Meng paused before speaking, "Does your sister have a red crescent-shaped birthmark on her back?"
Li Yue Shu's eyes widened in shock, "How do you know?"
Doctor Meng naturally knew.
When Li Xiang Ru was brought back by the Zhen Bei General's mansion, Hong Qu had written to him to inform him.
But Doctor Meng did not say anything and continued to ask, "Li girl, do you also have the same birthmark on your back?"
Under his hopeful gaze, Li Yue Shu shook her head.
Doctor Meng's body stiffened, and a wave of disappointment slowly surged in his heart.
He actually liked this young girl very much, especially since she looked so much like his wife.
Such a rare fate, even if she wasn't his biological granddaughter, he could recognize this child as his god-granddaughter!
Thinking this, Doctor Meng's eyes held a glimmer of hope again.
Just as he was about to bring up the idea, he heard Li Yue Shu say, "I only have a scar on my back. Although it's in the same position as my sister's, it's not a birthmark."
The same position?
Doctor Meng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that at his age, his emotions today were more turbulent than he had experienced in decades.
He suppressed his excitement and asked, "How did you get the burn on your back?"
Li Yue Shu shook her head blankly. "I don't remember either. I just heard my mother say that I injured myself when I couldn't walk yet."
Doctor Meng frowned, "How could you injure your own back when you couldn't walk yet?"
Li Yue Shu also wanted to know the answer, but she didn't show it to Doctor Meng, and just shook her head blankly.
Everything that could be said had been said. The remaining matters would naturally depend on them to investigate.
If she said too much, it would only arouse suspicion.
Seeing that Doctor Meng looked somewhat absent-minded, Li Yue Shu subtly changed the subject, but he was clearly a little distracted.
Seeing this, Qin Mo Yuan, who had been acting as a background prop, spoke up at the opportune moment, "A Shu, we've been out for a long time, it's time to go back."
Li Yue Shu took the opportunity to suggest they leave. Doctor Meng naturally did not detain them but personally escorted them to the door.
...
It was completely unexpected for Li Yue Shu to run into Doctor Meng. She also didn't expect Doctor Meng to directly suspect Li Xiang Ru's identity.
In a good mood, Li Yue Shu returned to the inn and quickly, along with Mother Mo, sorted out all the hemostatic and pain-relieving medicines stored in her space. Even Qin Mo Yuan was roped in to help.
Seeing her excited, Qin Mo Yuan curiously asked, "A Shu, are you taking out these medicines to help the Zhen Bei Army?"
If she were just trying to get close to Doctor Meng, there would be no reason for her to so actively bring out so many medicines.
Li Yue Shu nodded, busy with her task, and added without looking up, "I don't want to help the Zhen Bei Army, but those soldiers who defend our country. If this channel is opened, not only will Heng De Pharmacy's reputation soar, but it will also bring a huge income to the pharmacy."
This was also her own selfish motive.
Qin Mo Yuan immediately understood her meaning, "A Shu plans to sell these medicines to the military camps?"
Li Yue Shu nodded, "Not just the Zhen Bei Army, but also your Hu Yuan Army, and all the military camps in Chen Nan Kingdom."
She turned her head and did not hide her ambition. "I've already decided, from now on, Heng De Pharmacy will take care of all the medicine needs of the Hu Yuan Army! As for other armies, they can purchase at a sixty percent discount. If military camps in other countries need them, they will purchase at the original price."
She had no sense of belonging to Chen Nan Kingdom, but Qin Mo Yuan was the Regent of Chen Nan Kingdom, and this was his home, so she would naturally protect it.
Some people might think that selling these medicines to the armies of other countries was treason, but in her opinion, these medicines were only used to save people.
The only difference was the closeness of the user to her.
Qin Mo Yuan was helping to sort and package the medicines. When he heard her words, a wave of warmth washed over his heart.
"From now on, Heng De Pharmacy will take care of all the medicine needs of the Hu Yuan Army!"
Did A Shu know how dazzling she was when she said that?
Li Yue Shu looked up and happened to see his sparkling eyes.
After confirming her relationship with Qin Mo Yuan, she often saw him with such a look in his eyes.
Li Yue Shu smiled but said nothing, handing the medicine in her hand to him.
Qin Mo Yuan took the medicine and moved a little closer to her. "A Shu, did you call me husband in front of outsiders today?"
Mother Mo, who was nearby, paused and her gossipy eyes instantly looked at the two of them.
But only for a moment, she quickly turned away and even had the foresight to leave the room.
Li Yue Shu did not notice Mother Mo's actions. She only paused when she heard Qin Mo Yuan's words, her expression one of bewilderment, "Really? I don't remember."
Qin Mo Yuan shamelessly leaned closer, "I remember."
"Did you mishear? I didn't say it."
"Then A Shu, say it once now."
"There's still so much medicine to be packaged, don't be lazy!"
"If A Shu says 'husband' once, I won't sleep tonight and will finish packaging it all!"
"..."
In the end, Li Yue Shu did not say it, and Qin Mo Yuan completed the final packaging work alone.
Originally, after working for so long, he could have taken the opportunity to ask for a reward kiss, but now that was gone.
His depressed mood continued until the next day. When he handed all the medicines to Doctor Meng, Qin Mo Yuan's expression was still gloomy.
Doctor Meng glanced at him cautiously.
Could this man be worried about these things?
Would he bully Li girl because of this!
Doctor Meng frowned and quickly said, "How much do these cost? I'll give you the money now."
