The matriarch has returned; that spendthrift son is truly daring!

Chapter 269 I can save him

Shangguan Wan felt like she had been played, and Xie Junchen was clearly trying to embarrass her.

One moment she says she's quitting drinking, and the next she invites Song Shuyue for a drink, but Song Shuyue stops her from drinking.

Anyone with eyes can see Xie Junchen's favoritism and high regard for Song Shuyue.

Just then, Song Shuyue spoke up, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't want to drink alcohol. I'll have juice instead. Thank you."

Song Shuyue took the initiative to pick up a glass of juice and take a sip.

Just then, two men walked in, pulling and tugging at each other. The man in front, who looked rather fierce, kicked the person next to him to the ground.

"What are you doing!" Lan Anhao shouted angrily.

“Grandma, he stole my watch. Look, this watch was found in his room. I've been looking for it all day and asked him if he took it, but he denied it to the death. Now we've caught him red-handed, and he's still trying to deny it.”

Mo Bowen angrily pointed at the boy on the ground.

The boy looked only eighteen or nineteen years old, thin, and his face was covered in injuries.

"Cousin, you're hitting people! Mo Han, get up right now!"

Mo Yifei saw that Mo Han's white shirt was covered in footprints and spoke up in defense of him.

Mo Bowen cursed, "He deserves it. Mo Yifei, don't meddle in other people's business. Grandma, Mo Han is a scoundrel. A person like him will only bring shame to our Mo family. Tell him to go back to where he came from. A bastard son, does he deserve to attend your birthday celebration?"

"Enough! Bowen, Mo Han is your brother. What do you mean by illegitimate child? Watch your step, there are so many people here today."

Lan An was panting heavily, her face looking pale.

Mo Han is her eldest son's illegitimate son. Which wealthy family doesn't have a few illegitimate children? Those who are brought back are the ones who are acknowledged.

Lan Anhao didn't have much of a problem with Mo Han. After all, it was a mistake made by the older generation, and the child shouldn't have to bear it.

"Pah! He doesn't even deserve to be my brother, Grandma. He's just a stinking fishmonger. Grandma, he's dishonest. Kick him out of the house!"

Mo Han stood to the side without saying a word, his head always down.

Those clenched hands were enough to show how much effort he had put into enduring it.

"Mo Han, tell me, what's the story behind the watch?"

Lan Anhao had a bit of a headache. She pinched the bridge of her nose, thinking that each of them was one of the most troublesome.

Mo Han looked up at the old lady and said seriously, word by word, "I didn't steal his things. He framed me on purpose."

Seeing that he still dared to argue, Mo Bowen stretched out his leg to kick him.

Xie Junchen spoke up: "Alright, in front of so many people, Mo Bowen, aren't you embarrassed enough already?"

Mo Bowen then noticed that Xie Junchen was also there.

He called out to his cousin.

Although he was a year older than Xie Junchen, he acted more like a young lad.

If you don't like something, you should take action.

"Mo Han, you still dare to argue? Do you really think that just because you've entered the Mo family, you're the young master of the Mo family? Don't you even know your own status? You're not worthy of it. You're just like your mother who died young."

Mo Han's expression froze, his fists cracked, and his fierce eyes stared straight at Mo Bowen.

"Don't talk about my mom!"

Mo Bowen sneered, "How ridiculous! Mo Han, you're incredibly audacious to threaten me? Your mother was just a stinking fishmonger, what's so great about her? Wasn't she long dead?"

"shut up!"

Mo Han strode up to him, his scarlet eyes fixed on Mo Bowen.

Mo Bowen threw a punch, and the thin, frail Mo Han was slammed to the ground.

"Mo Bowen! Get out of here!" Lan Anhao was furious, pounding her cane on the ground.

"Grandma, why are you biased towards him too? It's one thing to be biased towards my cousin, but you're also biased towards this illegitimate child. Do you think I'm not a member of the Mo family? Did you consider my feelings when you let this illegitimate child into the family? Why should you give him what belongs to me? I am the heir of the Mo family. What is he? A filthy piece of trash."

Lan Anhao knew that his grandson was impatient and quick to anger.

He had always been bothered by Mo Han's identity.

They tried to kill him time and time again.

"Mo Bowen, what's yours will still be yours. Behave yourself and stop targeting Mo Han, or don't blame me for being impolite."

Mo Bowen gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Mo Han to pieces.

"Okay, I won't target him, but he stole my watch, what's the story about that?"

Mo Han retorted loudly, "I didn't steal your watch."

Mo Bowen: "You're still being stubborn. The butler saw you enter my room this afternoon. What else do you have to say?"

Mo Han: "I did go into your room. The butler asked me to go in and help. Mo Bowen, stop making false accusations. I will never admit to something I didn't do."

Mo Bowen pointed at Mo Han and said to Lan Anhao, "Grandma, you saw what kind of person he is. How can someone like him be worthy of staying in our Mo family, let alone holding a Mo family identity? He should be kicked out of the Mo family immediately."

Mo Yifei was indignant. She stood up and said loudly to him, "Mo Han is not that kind of person, cousin. There must be some misunderstanding."

"Mo Yifei, I think you've been blinded by him and forgotten who you are. Do you know how much this watch of mine is worth? He used to be a fishmonger, how much he could earn in a day, but when he saw this watch, his eyes lit up!"

Mo Han's eyes were terrifyingly sinister as he stood up.

“Madam, I didn’t steal the watch, but I left the Mo family as he wished. He’s back now, so please tell him.”

The "he" here refers to his father.

"Wait! Mo Han, you can't leave. You are a descendant of the Mo family. I will never let you suffer outside and live a hard life. Stay in the Mo family and I will give you an explanation for this matter. Mo Bowen, I will have someone buy you a new watch tomorrow. Now get out of here immediately."

"Grandma, you're so biased!"

"Someone, take him out of here." Lan Anhao gave the order, and the servants politely escorted Mo Bowen away.

Before leaving, Mo Bowen glared at Mo Han.

Mo Bowen walked out and happened to brush past Shangguan Ge.

"Old lady."

A conservatively dressed woman walked in, adjusted her glasses, and glanced around.

I saw a new face.

"Who is this?"

Shangguan Ge is Lan Anhao's private doctor, and he is responsible for her health.

"Sister, this is Miss Song, a friend of Junchen."

Shangguan Ge and Shangguan Wan are twins, but they do not look alike.

"You've come at the right time. Let's see how Mo Han's injury is." Lan An looked at Mo Han with great concern.

Shangguan Ge nodded and walked towards Mo Han, "Young Master Mo Han, let me take a look at you."

Mo Han instinctively stepped back, turning her arm away from where she was about to touch him. "No need, I'm fine."

Shangguan Ge smiled faintly and withdrew his hand. "Alright then! It's fine if it's inconvenient for Young Master Mo Han to let me take a look. Don't forget to ask the butler or other servants to help you bandage it later."

Mo Han was expressionless, exuding an aura of sinister intent.

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Shangguan."

Mo Han turned to leave, but suddenly his footsteps faltered. He clutched his abdomen tightly with both hands, his brows furrowed, and a look of pain appeared on his face. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he curled up on the ground in agony.

His sudden reaction startled everyone. Lan Anhao stood up shakily and hurriedly walked towards him.

"Mo Han, Mo Han, what's wrong? Shangguan Ge, come and see him, what's wrong with him?"

Xie Junchen stepped forward first, helped the person up, and sat them down on a chair nearby.

"Mo Han, where do you feel unwell?"

"My stomach hurts."

As he spoke, Mo Han's lips began to turn black, and he clenched his teeth tightly.

"Judging from Young Master Mo Han's symptoms, he probably has food poisoning. We should take him to the hospital immediately!" Shangguan Ge said with a frown.

"It's too late." After saying that, Song Shuyue took out silver needles and inserted them into several acupoints on his body. As soon as the thin silver needles were taken out, everyone's eyes widened in shock. Before they could react, the thin silver needles had already been inserted into his body.

Upon seeing her actions, Shangguan Ge shouted, "What are you doing? How can you stick a needle into someone? Who do you think you are? Do you even know anything about medicine? He needs to go to the hospital right now. Are you trying to kill Young Master Mo Han?"

Shangguan Ge's repeated loud accusations made Song Shuyue frown. She picked up Mo Han's hand and took his pulse. He was poisoned, but not by food.

"Shut up!" Xie Junchen's sharp, cold gaze swept over Shangguan Ge.

Shangguan Ge was somewhat unwilling, her fists clenched slightly behind her back. Ever since she became Old Madam Mo's private doctor, her status had risen dramatically, and few dared to yell at her. But he was the young master of the Xie family.

“My lord, my sister is only doing this for Young Master Mo Han’s own good. His symptoms are clearly signs of poisoning. If he is not taken to the hospital in time and is treated haphazardly, it could lead to some serious problems,” Shangguan Wan advised.

Xie Junchen: "I will take responsibility for whatever happens. No one here knows medicine and how to save lives better than her."

Xie Junchen's words were somewhat of a blow to Shangguan Ge.

“Young Master Xie, I know you hold a high position and great power, but you can’t joke around with human lives. This Miss Song is so young, how can you say she knows medicine? Even if she does know a little bit, I think she probably didn’t even graduate from university. She is not qualified to treat people at all.”

Song Shuyue looked at Xie Junchen and said, "He's been poisoned, but not by food poisoning, it's a deadly poison. He won't live more than half an hour. Xie Junchen, if you trust me, get him to a room immediately and give me a quiet place. I can save him."

Song Shuyue came today for a few opportunities, including Mo Han.

An illegitimate son of the Mohist family.

After hearing her words, Xie Junchen didn't doubt them at all, and picked up Mo Han to walk inside.

Shangguan Ge spread his arms to block the two of them. "He has food poisoning. What he needs now is to go to the hospital for a stomach pump, not for you to act recklessly. Miss Song, do you know what will happen if someone dies? Can you bear that responsibility?"

Xie Junchen gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Get out of the way!"

Shangguan Wan also stopped Song Shuyue along with her sister, "That's right, Miss Song, right now, the most urgent thing is to get him to the hospital immediately. Although Young Master Mo Han only recently returned to the Mo family, he is still a member of the Mo family."

Lan An looked at Song Shuyue, feeling uncertain because the girl in front of her looked too young, yet her aura was undeniable.

She could only look at Xie Junchen, "Junchen, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Grandma, please believe Yueyue. She said that if Mo Han doesn't live for more than half an hour, then he won't live for more than half an hour. If she can't save him, then there's no need to go to the hospital."

Lan An knew his grandson's character very well; when it came to serious matters, he would never be ambiguous in the slightest.

"Okay, Xiaoyue, you must save him."

Shangguan Ge's eyes were filled with rage, as if he wanted to bore a hole through Song Shuyue. Where did this damned woman come from?

Xie Junchen repeated, "You two get out of here right now. This is my family's private matter and has nothing to do with you two. What are you doing here, putting on airs and acting like saints? Get out of here!"
