Chapter 352: Mo Bao's Heartache
Shen Yubao said with great joy: "Brother Mo, you don't know that gift giving is very particular nowadays. Not only do you have to choose a good day, but even the number and variety of gifts must be more and better each time. But don't worry, my father has already asked someone to calculate the day. When the day comes, I will send you the betrothal gifts that I prepared in advance."
"What do you mean by send it to me? Ji Chilian isn't going to marry me next..." Yi Mobao muttered, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.
It’s strange to say, he used to like these treasures the most, but now when he looks at these things, he can’t muster any interest at all.
"Brother Mo, are you dissatisfied?" Shen Yubao saw that Yi Mobao was not in a good mood and became anxious. "Brother Mo, don't be unhappy. I will go home and bring a few more boxes..."
"Forget it. You're so busy that you're sweating all over. Take a break." Seeing beads of sweat oozing out of Shen Yubao's forehead, Yi Mobao couldn't bear to continue to make things difficult for him. "I'm not dissatisfied. To be honest, the betrothal gifts your family sent are many times more than those of ordinary families. I should be satisfied..."
"But Brother Mo can't bear to part with Fairy Sister, so seeing these betrothal gifts, you will feel a little sad, right?" Seeing that Yi Mobao did not deny it, Shen Yubao simply pulled him to sit down, "Brother Mo, I can understand you, but didn't you say before that as long as Fairy Sister is happy, you will be happy?"
"That's what I thought, but I always feel that mother is not that happy. Yubao, don't you find it strange? Dugong and mother are always very polite every time they meet, and the two of them often don't get along, and there is no intimacy at all. How could they fall in love with each other so suddenly?"
Yi Mobao felt even more strange as he spoke, and he could no longer sit still: "I can accept that mother and Dugong are together, but there should be some signs before they get engaged, right?"
"But feelings are unpredictable. Maybe they just fell in love with each other all of a sudden?" Seeing Yi Mobao didn't say anything, Shen Yubao sighed, "Brother Mo, what on earth do you want to do by saying this? My father is already engaged to the fairy sister."
"I didn't want to ruin their engagement. I just needed evidence to prove that my mother really likes Dugong..." Yi Mobao squatted beside Shen Yubao and asked with a smile: "Yubao, do you think there is a possibility that my mother and Dugong don't have any feelings for each other, and they just choose to bind together and cooperate with each other for some special reasons?"
"Absolutely impossible!" Shen Yubao, who had been very calm, almost jumped up.
Guessing that Shen Yubao would be very excited after hearing this, Yi Mobao laughed awkwardly: "Oh, don't be so excited, I was just making an analogy. You have read so many storybooks, isn't this a common plot in the storybooks?"
Shen Yubao was so excited that he stuttered: "That's what's in the storybook, how can you take it seriously? No, I can't allow it!"
"Okay, okay, don't get excited yet. But I think we really need to test it out. Otherwise, if they don't really plan to be together, we can be mentally prepared in advance."
"Well... let's do as Brother Mo said and try it out first." Shen Yubao held up his chin with his little hand. He looked very worried. However, what method should we use to try it out..."
"Think about it later. My mother is coming." Yi Mobao noticed Yi Qianhuan first, and he quickly touched Shen Yubao beside him.
As Shen Yubao stopped talking, they saw Ji Chilian and Yi Qianhuan walking into the archway of the backyard one after another.
Under the golden sunlight, both of them are so beautiful that they don't look real.
In particular, they seemed to be still discussing something, and Ji Chilian even waited for Yi Qianhuan while walking.
Because the distance was too far, Yi Mobao and the others couldn't hear what Ji Chilian said.
However, they could clearly see that as Ji Chilian spoke, Yi Qianhuan was actually amused and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yi Mobao felt depressed after watching this scene!
"Mother!" Yi Mobao really didn't want to see Ji Chilian and Yi Qianhuan's harmonious love, so he trotted all the way and ran directly into Yi Qianhuan's arms like a small cannonball.
Yi Qianhuan hugged Yi Mobao with one hand, lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead: "What's wrong with you today? Why are you so clingy?"
She knew this little guy well. He usually had his own ideas and under normal circumstances he would not come over and act so close to her in front of so many people.
Unless this little thing has done something bad, it always likes to solve problems by acting coquettishly after feeling guilty.
"I just want to stick to my mother..." Yi Mobao said this, hugged Yi Qianhuan's arm as if declaring his sovereignty, and deliberately glanced at Ji Chilian.
Ji Chilian glanced at Yi Mobao, then waved at Shen Yubao.
"Daddy, Fairy Sister." Shen Yubao was a thoroughly good boy in front of Ji Chilian. After bowing to him, he blinked at him, looking very well-behaved.
"Boys should still have some masculinity! Yubao, you are not a child anymore. You can't always rely on acting like a spoiled child to solve problems. It's easy to be laughed at." Ji Chilian said, rubbing Shen Yubao's head.
Ji Chilian's words were clearly directed at Shen Yubao, but Yi Mobao felt like he was being targeted.
Is this man saying that he has no manliness?!
With a breath stuck in his throat and almost suffocating him, Yi Mobao immediately let go of Yi Qianhuan and glared at Ji Chilian.
Ji Chilian disagreed and said slowly: "Yi Mobao, I have something about your uncle and I need you to help me solve it."
Hearing that the matter was related to Yi Qianyuan, Yi Mobao immediately put away his previous cold expression and looked at Ji Chilian eagerly: "What happened to my uncle?"
Ji Chilian raised her hand to signal, and Yi Mobao immediately sat down obediently.
Ji Chilian recounted the entire incident again.
"So, when you came into contact with the owner of the pharmacy, did you find any traces of Atractylodes macrocephala powder on him?"
Yi Mobao recalled carefully and shook his head: "The owner of that pharmacy didn't look like he used Atractylodes powder. I remember very clearly that when the owner took the initiative to talk to me, he was still very sober. He even recognized that I was the son of the national god, and then took the initiative to come over to me to get close to me."
"Yes, I remember it very clearly. The boss was very clear when he spoke. And I remember Brother Mo told me that people who use Atractylodes powder for a long time will not be in a good mental state. But the boss was chubby, and the expression on his face was very normal. He didn't look like anything was wrong."
Shen Yubao paused for a moment and continued, "In contrast, the waiter is in a very bad condition. Dad, did the waiter also use Atractylodes macrocephala powder?"
Ji Chilian shook his head: "No, according to our investigation, everything is normal on the waiter's body, and there is no trace of Baizhu powder."
"That's strange..." Yi Qianhuan couldn't figure out the entanglement and fell silent for a while.
