The Little Darling Wife Who is a Divine Doctor Saved the Entire Family of the Duke's Mansion

Chapter 496

Madam He had been quite satisfied with her life before, but since coming to the Northwest, she realized that she had just begun to experience what a happy life really was after living half her life.

Perhaps this kind of life could only continue if they stayed in the Northwest.

As her son, He Ziming could naturally see some of his mother's thoughts.

If his mother had disagreed with what he said today, she would have spoken up to refute it already. However, she did not immediately refute him today. Not only that, but she also seemed to have listened to what his sister said.

There is a saying that one should strike while the iron is hot. He Ziming felt that the timing was about right, so he said, "Mother, what's so bad about me staying in the Northwest as you said? We can also build a courtyard like Ran Ran's family and raise some poultry and livestock. Not only that, but I would be close to Ran Ran, and we siblings can look out for each other."

Madam He had to admit that her son's words had struck right at her heart.

"Actually, Mother also wants to stay in the Northwest, but your father..."

She didn't need to explain too clearly. The siblings understood what their mother meant.

"Mother, Father once said that after my official career stabilizes and I can support the He family, he plans to retire and return to his hometown to live an ordinary life with you and enjoy his later years.

The current political situation at court is unstable, and Father is a neutral party, so it is inevitable that he will offend some people in power. Rather than spending time dangerously in the capital, it would be better to persuade him to resign from his official post early.

There is a saying that goes, 'Without an official post, one's body is light.' Our whole family can stay away from that place full of slander and live a peaceful life instead.

Moreover, your son has medical skills. Don't just call me the 'gynecological saint hand' because I mainly researched gynecological medicine. Although that is the case, I have also studied other medical skills. I dare not say I have mastered them, but I am still better than most doctors in general.

In the future, I can guarantee that you two elders will have no worries about food and clothing."

"Mother, I think elder brother is right. Emperor Shunwu is muddle-headed, and his sons are not very capable either. Plus Empress Dowager's party is messing up court principles. With such an unstable situation, it is better if Father resigns from his official post!"

In her eyes, no power, wealth or honour was as important as her family's safety.

Moreover, she understood her father's temperament. He was too upright. If he saw something he disapproved of, it would be easy for him to offend others.

Rather than struggling to survive in that murky court, it would be better to live a carefree life in the countryside.

Even if elder brother could not guarantee their parents' livelihood in later years, she could definitely make sure the two elders had no worries about food and clothing.

She still had that magical space. She could buy some little trinkets to entertain them later and make sure they would not feel bored in their future life.

"Ran Ran, you can't just casually say things like that," Madam He said. After all, she was timid. Although she also agreed with what her daughter said, such rebellious words could easily bring disaster if spoken out loud.

"Mother, there is no outsider here. I'm just telling you my true thoughts," He Zhiran said.

"If you have no objections here, I plan to tidy up the house in a few days before leaving for the capital with my husband. I will tell Father about this personally and let him decide for himself what to do.

You and elder brother don't need to rush back either. Wait until you hear back from Father before making any plans."

Madam He's mind turned very quickly. She had just been struggling with whether to persuade her husband to resign. But now her attention had completely shifted to He Zhiran's plan to go to the capital.

"Ran Ran, you want to go to the capital?" This was completely unexpected for her.

Everyone knew how sensitive the Mohist identity was in the capital, not to mention that they were still in exile now and were not allowed to leave Yancheng.

She knew that Mo Jiuye had gone to the capital recently, but that was because the county magistrate was his brother-in-law.

Now it was their couple's turn to go to the capital. If someone with ulterior motives discovered this and reported it to the court, it would bring deadly disaster.

He Zhiran had not originally planned to tell her mother about going to the capital. She had thought that since her mother had been away from the capital for so long, she would leave after her child turned one month old. Then she and Mo Jiuye could sneak off to the capital without anyone knowing.

But who knew, not only did her mother and brother have no plans to leave, they even seemed to have the idea of settling down permanently in the Northwest judging by what they just said.

She was truly willing from the bottom of her heart to have her maternal family live in the Northwest long term, especially since the political situation at court was unstable. She also did not want her father to get involved.

But in that case, she and Mo Jiuye would have to explain themselves when leaving this place to go to the capital.

"Mother, I won't hide it from you. The current situation for the Mohists is not as good as it looks on the surface. Elder brother understands this best. The Empress adopted the Fourth Prince. Although my Mohist family no longer participates in court affairs, the Empress has always been suspicious. She won't let people who could obstruct the Fourth Prince's path to the throne live.

The reason my husband and I are going to the capital this time is to take preemptive action. There is a saying, 'Do not attack others if they do not attack you first.' When it comes to the Mohist family's safety and interests, we can't just sit here passively waiting to be attacked."

Although Madam He did not have the same wisdom and courage as Grand Madam Mo, she was not completely ignorant either.

"Mother understands the rationale behind what you said, but I'm worried that it will be dangerous for you."

"Mother, I think it is the right thing for Sister-in-law Ran Ran and Brother-in-law to go to the capital. The Mohists have always been loyal and righteous. If there are still people who don't want their family to live in peace after the Emperor wrongfully accused them and sent them to exile in the Northwest, then taking risks is very necessary.

As the saying goes, 'Nip problems in the bud.' Any potential dangers must be eliminated early on."

He Ziming strongly agreed with their idea of going to the capital, but he did not agree to his powerless little sister tagging along.

"Ran Ran, it is right for the Mohists to go to the capital, but I don't agree with you going together with them." She had been physically weak since she was little. And now she wanted to pretend to be brave and follow them to the capital when she had two young children.

At this point, Madam He also understood the necessity for the Mohists to go to the capital. If they wanted to live safely and steadily here, they had to resolve potential crises.

"Ran Ran, your elder brother is right. As a woman, it's not appropriate for you to get involved in such matters," she said.

He Zhiran knew there would be opposition when she talked about going to the capital.

For things like this, she had learned to be smart—don't try to argue. She had already expressed what she wanted to say clearly. She would just secretly follow Mo Jiuye when the time came anyway.

"Mother, let's continue talking about whether Father should resign from his official post."

Madam He thought her daughter had already listened to her and her son's advice.

"That's good too. It will be better to clearly tell your father my and your elder brother's thoughts face-to-face rather than writing letters that could be used against us."

"Since that's the case, Mother and elder brother should stay here at ease. I'll talk to my husband later and buy land nearby to build you two a courtyard similar to the Mohists'."

Upon hearing they would build a courtyard similar to the Mohists, He Ziming immediately took out several silver notes from his sleeve and gave them to her.
