Chapter 1004 - Life-Extending Pill


Chapter 1004: Life-Extending Pill

On the other side, when the father-in-law and son-in-law saw that the two women had started getting sentimental in their conversation, they quickly changed the topic. “Qiaoqiao, you’ll be setting off for the Mystic Beast Forest secret realm in four more days. You must make sufficient preparations, since a round trip to that place will be at least two months.”

Qiao Mu looked back at her dad and nodded.

There actually wasn’t anything she had to prepare. Before setting out, Qiao Mu only planned to draw more talismans in case of unforeseen circumstances.

While the four people were chatting, Hei’zi rushed in. He quickly made his salutations before informing Qiao Zhongbang, “Master. Mother Xu just came over to report that…”

Hei’zi furtively glanced at Wei Ziqin and Qiao Mu before bracing himself to say, “That the old madam is dying, and wants to see Master and Madam before her death.”

Qiao Zhongbang abruptly stood up before heaving a long sigh.

Wei Ziqin subsequently stood up and said, “My lord, let’s go over then.”

Regardless of how riling the old madam was, they would fulfill their filial duties as her son and daughter-in-law by going to see her on her deathbed.

Qiao Mu actually knew that her father had gone to request for the crown prince’s grace so that the elderly lady could remain in the Mo Kingdom capital.

The other people from the Qiao Clan’s main family, including Xu Jiao’s family of three, were banished to the Northwestern Desert. There probably wasn’t any possibility of them returning in this lifetime.

Qiao Mu also knew that her father had arranged the elderly lady in a small residence on Hualing Street, but she just didn’t say anything about it.

Because it was right and proper for her father to want to fulfill his filial duty to his mother, so what could she, as his daughter, say.

In both her lives, her father was just this simple, honest, and even to the point of being an unquestioning filial person.

Perhaps this was what her mother admired about him.

Yet Qiao Mu no longer wanted to evaluate the elderly lady’s good and bad, nor did she want to interfere with the elderly lady’s matters anymore.

After escorting her parents out the door, Qiao Mu idly turned around, but Mo Lian grabbed her small hand.

“Unhappy?” Mo Lian’s gaze shifted, pinching her small face gently. “You’re expressionless.”

When have you not seen me expressionless!

Qiao Mu didn’t want to bother with him, so she put her small paws behind her back as she strode towards her Nanzhu Garden.

“I have. Qiaoqiao will smile when she’s happy. When she’s unhappy, she will pull a taut face in anger!”

Qiao Mu: Hmph!

Mo Lian chuckled, and he held her small hand as he walked along with her on the small path that was carpeted with fine and soft leaves. “I remember that you really weren’t cute when you were younger. Disregarding how expressionless you always were, you also wouldn’t talk and made me guess all the time.”

“Fortunately, this crown prince is outstandingly intelligent, so I immediately comprehended all the looks you gave. Mhm, I simply comprehended your meaning too expressively!”

Qiao Mu turned her small head to glare at him before moodily saying, “I went to see the elderly lady.”

She quietly went to see her without disturbing anyone.

Back at that time, she knew that the elderly lady wasn’t going to live for long.

She was a normal person, yet she went hungry and didn’t sleep well when living with Third Uncle and his family, so her body’s organs had deteriorated into an appalling state within a short period of time.

Even though her father had arranged for the elderly lady to stay in the residence on Hualing Street, it was already useless no matter how doctors tried to nurse her health now.

That was, unless she consumed a life-extending pill. Then her life would be extended by at least three years.

The life-extending pill that Teacher concocted was a supreme-grade black-veined pill.
