Road to South Africa

When Mo Ling followed Liu Ji to the Liu Mansion, the Liu Mansion was in chaos. The gatekeeper wiped his eyes and saw that the young lady had returned, and immediately ran towards the gate excitedly, shouting: "My lord! , miss is back, back"

A loud shout seemed to attract all the servants in the mansion to surround him.Mo Ling held Liu Ji's hand, his eyes swept away, and he saw the expressions of relief on everyone's faces, it was obvious that Liu Ji ran out of the mansion, which frightened everyone.

Through the gate, a man walked out dressed in blue, with loose long hair tied in a bun casually with a headband. Although his appearance was indeed good-looking, his face was pale and somewhat sickly, and even his lips were barely visible. ruddy.Seeing his daughter came back, the man was standing on the stairs with a gloomy expression on his face, Liu Ji was terrified and couldn't help but hide behind Mo Ling.

"Daddy... I... I'm back..."

"Where have you been?" His eyes seemed to have missed Mo Ling, who was being pulled by Liu Ji, and the man's voice was cold, without any tenderness at all.

Liu Ji was afraid and didn't speak, Mo Ling sighed slightly in his heart and bowed to the man: "Your Excellency is Liu Hong Fei, the father of Liu Ji, right? In Xia Mo Ling..."

"Who you are has nothing to do with me." Liu Hongfei interrupted lightly, his voice becoming colder and colder: "My Liu residence doesn't like outsiders disturbing you, please go back."

Mo Ling frowned.

Liu Ji looked at Liu Hongfei a little timidly and pitifully: "Daddy...he...he is a father and a doctor...I want him to take care of Daddy's illness..."

"Full of nonsense!" Leng Lie's voice was a little heavy, and Liu Hongfei's eyes were full of anger: "You ran out of the house privately, and I haven't punished you yet, and now you are talking nonsense again, and you can call someone outside casually." His father, aren't you afraid that you will be kidnapped and sold by some bad guys?"

"I..." Liu Ji's small face was aggrieved, and mist began to gather in her eyes: "I just want my father to be accompanied by someone... That's why I went to the official media office, and I was introduced by the official, the official... the official Master won't lie..."

Liu Ji's words were heart-warming but angry.

Liu Hongfei stared at his daughter for a while, then sighed helplessly: "Come here!"

Liu Ji stepped forward timidly, and couldn't help looking back at Mo Ling.

Mo Ling patted her head, and looked at Liu Hongfei in a blink of an eye. He always felt that his appearance seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Grabbing Liu Ji's hand and holding it, Liu Hongfei turned around and was about to leave: "Housekeeper, see off the guests!"

"No!" Liu Ji immediately objected: "I found him for Daddy..."

"Shut up!" Liu Hongfei said violently, "If you don't obey me, you will be punished to kneel!"

Liu Ji stubbornly looked at him with red eyes: "Daddy needs someone to take care of him..."

The more his daughter was a director, the more uncomfortable Liu Hongfei felt, but he could only hold back and couldn't say anything.

Mo Ling watched for a while, and then said: "I heard from Liu Ji that your Excellency was ill, and Liu Ji was very worried. Although I am not talented, I am also on duty at the Imperial Hospital. It's fine if you don't give up. , I will ask you to see a doctor for you. After your illness is cured, Liu Ji doesn’t have to worry, I will leave on my own.”

Liu Hongfei frowned: "Isn't the people in the imperial hospital not allowed to see patients outside the palace without permission? Are you afraid that it will cause disaster?"

Liu Ji corrected: "He is father and father's husband-in-law, not an outsider!"

Moling: ...

Liu Hongfei: "Shut up!"

Mo Ling smiled lightly, and said: "It is the duty of a doctor to see a doctor and save people. How can you say that you are not afraid? If you are afraid of guilt and turn a blind eye to patients, this is the way to be a doctor."

Looking at Mo Ling coldly, before Liu Hongfei could speak, Liu Ji grabbed his hand and acted like a baby: "Father... let him treat you, if he can't cure you, I will go to the yamen to sue him Daddy is always sick and coughs at night, I feel so distressed"

Liu Hongfei looked at his daughter with a twinkle in his eyes and blurted out, "Did I disturb you?"

Liu Ji just said: "I'm just worried about Daddy's body..." Liu Ji said, her eyes became even redder: "I don't have a father anymore, I can't live without Daddy anymore, what should I do if Daddy passes away? I don't understand many things at such a young age, I don't want you to fall down before I grow up..."

Staring at his daughter for a while, Liu Hongfei sighed softly, bent down and hugged his daughter, and then turned to look at Moling: "I have seen many doctors who always say that the sky is full of hype, but they are helpless. Yes, if you are not sure, leave as soon as possible, if you can't do it but make Liu Ji sad, even if you are ordered by the imperial physician, I will pull you down easily!"

Mo Ling raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and always felt that this Liu Hongfei was not ordinary...

In order not to worry Liu Ji, Liu Hongfei asked someone to arrange a room for Moling.Seeing that Mo Ling stayed, Liu Ji's face was full of joy, because finally someone could take care of her father, and he left immediately without seeing a doctor.

Although Liu Hongfei was angry that Liu Ji had sneaked out of the house, he was taken aback, but he couldn't get angry when he thought that his daughter was doing it for him, so he left Liu Ji in the room and asked her to stand in the corner to face the wall and ignored her.Did Liu Ji kick the stone wall while standing in the corner, then turned to look at her father beside her, sighed and smiled again on her sad little face.

Mo Ling was arranged. Although he suspected that Liu Hongfei felt a little familiar to him, he couldn't remember it for a while, so he simply didn't want to. He just took the medicine box and went to Liu Hongfei's yard to see him.

On the soft kang, Liu Hongfei flipped through the thick account book, and didn't look up when he heard the message from the servant, he just responded and let people in.

When Mo Ling entered the room, Liu Jila stood motionless in the corner with his head raised, and Liu Hongfei didn't look up at him at all. Mo Ling casually stepped forward and said, "Young Master Liu, let me feel your pulse first."

Liu Hongfei still didn't look up, just stretched out his hand casually.

Moling: ...

Not only did Liu Hongfei look good, but his skin was also white. His outstretched hands were slender and delicate, but the palms seemed to be covered with thin calluses. His nails were very beautiful, as white as jade. Probably because this is actually a woman's pampered hand.

Putting down the medicine box on his body, Mo Ling rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward, touching Liu Hongfei's wrist with his fingertips. The coldness of the tentacles made Mo Ling slightly frowned, and he didn't know what happened to the pulse. Looking carefully at Liu Hongfei's hand again, there seemed to be a red silk thread extending from the wrist to the arm, Mo Ling was startled and said, Mr. Liu, don't read the book, let me show you again."

Liu Hongfei raised his eyebrows lamely: "What are you looking at?"

Mo Ling didn't answer, his eyes only stared at Liu Hongfei's carefully.Seeing him just looking into his eyes like this, Liu Hongfei felt slightly embarrassed, and slapped the table: "Moling!"

"You are a sign of poisoning," Mo Ling said suddenly.

Liu Hongfei was taken aback for a moment, as if he was also angry and forgot.Staring into Mo Ling's eyes, he found that his eyes were full of calm seriousness and seriousness, without any other impurity, so Liu Hongfei said: "When I entered Beijing a month ago, I was bitten by a small flower snake outside the city."

"Father is here to save me." Liu Ji heard them talking, and then said guiltily, "That little flower snake originally bit me, if it wasn't for my father, he wouldn't have been bitten."

"Shut up, face the wall and think about your mistakes, and don't eat dinner if you talk again"

Liu Ji: ...Daddy is so fierce.

Hearing Liu Ji's muttering, Mo Ling couldn't help but laugh a little. When he withdrew his hand, he said to Liu Hongfei, "I need to take a drop of your son's blood back for researching poison."

Liu Hongfei said casually, "It's just a drop of blood, it's nothing."

Mo Ling took the silver needle and pricked Liu Hongfei's fingertips. After squeezing the blood, he took out another small box of ointment and said to Liu Hongfei, "My lord, stretch out your hand and wipe it on." This medicine can stop bleeding and relieve pain.”

Liu Hongfei raised eyebrows faintly, and when he was about to say no, he looked over at Liu Ji with a distressed expression on his face, and sighed in his heart, Liu Hongfei stretched out his hand: "Face the wall well, don't be distracted"

Liu Ji: "Oh..."

After rubbing the medicine on Liu Hongfei, Mo Ling put away the utensils before leaving.Liu Hongfei glanced at his back, frowned, he didn't know what he was thinking of, and sighed softly in his heart, he touched the place where the needle was pricked with his thumb, and there was no pain or bleeding anymore.

Although the snake venom Liu Hongfei planted is not very poisonous, if you don't understand it, after a long time, the poison will be fatal if it enters the heart and lungs.Mo Ling took his blood back, and after developing the poison, he was busy preparing the antidote for Liu Hongfei.

Moling lived in Liu's mansion, and the happiest thing was Liu Ji, a little girl, because he felt that his father seemed to be finally taken care of by someone, and he liked to go to Moling's yard at noon every day, and when he saw Moling was busy, he would be quiet. Obediently stay aside.

"She went to the West Secondary Academy again?" In the counting room, Liu Hongfei was sorting out the ledgers delivered today. Hearing Mammy's words, he fiddled with the beads slightly.

Nanny is Liu Ji's wet nurse, and she has been taking care of Liu Ji for two or three years. It was the first time Xu saw Liu Ji clinging to someone other than Liu Hongfei, so she couldn't help but report to Liu Hongfei.

After pondering for a moment, Liu Hongfei said: "As long as she doesn't leave the house, let her go."

Mammy should be, turned and exited the counting room.

Liu Hongfei seemed to have a bad temper on the surface, but everyone in Liu's mansion knew that he was almost doting on Liu Ji, and he did everything according to Liu Ji's pleasure. The only request was that Liu Ji was not allowed to leave the mansion. Who is Liu Ji's father? Almost no one in Liu's mansion knows. The only housekeeper who knows about it, Chen Min, is unwilling to reveal it. This makes everyone scratching their heads with curiosity, but they can't help it. Because of the responsibility and dumping, so they were bored and stopped asking, but became more careful in serving, because Liu Hongfei was very strict in taking care of Liu Ji, and he was reluctant to let Liu Ji suffer.

Not long after Mammy left, the housekeeper, Chen Min, opened the door and came in.Liu Hongfei squeezed his sore shoulders, and handed the ledger to the butler casually: "According to their storefronts, all of them will be returned, and they will redo the ledgers again, and Lin Shifang and the owner of Yuxi Pavilion will be replaced directly. I leave no useless people"

Chen Min took the account book and said, "We have just transferred back to the capital, and the placement of the store has been rushed, and it is inevitable that the store owners will lose their hands..."

"That's not a reason." Liu Hongfei interrupted: "If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Besides, if it weren't for the fact that I just returned to Beijing, these people would think that I'm someone to be deceived, and even dare to fool me with mixed accounts. If we are merciful, we may have to live on the streets next time."

After thinking about it, Chen Min nodded: "I will give orders." Seeing Liu Hongfei's tired face, Chen Min replied, "Master, you are not in good health, you should rest more..."

Liu Hongfei sighed: "I have just taken over these businesses in the capital, how can I have time to rest, don't worry, I know my own body well."

Chen Min sighed: "Why are you bothering? Then... that Junhou heard that he had been arrested for offending the emperor in his early years. Young master, you have been hiding for so many years, and you didn't even return to Nangong's house. Are you now..."

Liu Hongfei shook his head: "Those things have nothing to do with me. My surname is Liu, not Nangong. There is no Nangong family, no Shizi Mansion. I can live a good life, and I can give Xiaoliu the best life, so that she has no worries about food and clothing."

Chen Min sighed in his heart: "Miss is not short of food and clothing now, but she is not worry-free." Seeing Liu Hongfei frowned, Chen Min said: "She cares about you in her heart, and is worried about you, especially after entering the capital. But in the end... a child without a father grows up much faster. If you don't like to hear about other things, I won't talk about them, but for the young lady, you should also take care of your body and don't let it She is just like what she said that day, you will fall before she grows up"

Liu Hongfei was heartbroken when he heard this, but he didn't speak again.After Chen Min took the account book and left, Liu Hongfei was still thinking about his daughter's face that was obviously immature but full of worry and fear a few days ago.

After all, a child who is not accompanied by her parents always grows up much faster psychologically. precious things.
