Chapter 23 Pretending to be sick

[See, I knew he would definitely turn the topic around to needing money for treatment! ]

  [Senior Sister Du, you need to be more careful! ]

  Mo Jiuwei was not surprised at all, she was just worried about Du Yue's reaction.

  "Meng Zhu." Du Yue looked up at him, "Is the alchemist you found reliable? He has been treating my aunt for a long time, but my aunt's illness has not been cured, and the cost is getting higher and higher..."

  "Yueyue, how can you say that? That's my mother! Even if she can't be cured, she has to be treated. I can't just abandon her!" Meng Zhu's face changed.

  "Don't be angry, that's not what I meant..."

  "What do you mean then!"

  Du Yue was stunned for a moment, "I just wanted to say that we should change another alchemist for my aunt to see. For example, the reputation of the alchemist Ou in Qingfang Street is very good, and the prescriptions he prescribes are all relatively cheap..."

  Meng Zhu softened his attitude, "So that's

  what you wanted to say." "What else do you think I mean? Your reaction just now was too strong. Do you think I don't care about my aunt and persuade you to give up treating her?!" Du Yue was also angry.

  "I misunderstood, Yueyue, I know you are definitely not such a person, don't take it to heart." Meng Zhu comforted softly.

  [Hehe, of course he reacted strongly, because his mother was not sick at all! ]

  [You suddenly said that you wanted to let the alchemist you knew treat his mother, of course he was scared, afraid of being discovered. ]

  [The reason why they pretended to be sick from beginning to end was to cheat money. ]

  [It's not just Sister Du, they mother and son have cheated many women with this trick, but it's a pity that so many people didn't see through their tricks! ]

  Du Yue's face, which had just improved, suddenly froze, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

  Not sick, but pretending to be sick? !

  How is this possible!

  The people from Xianlai Sect also looked at each other, stunned.

  Good man, the mother and son deceived the women's trust and sympathy by pretending to be sick, and then defrauded money from them? !

  What a dirty trick!

  If it wasn't for Junior Sister Jiuwei who said this, they would not believe it at all.

  "Yueyue?" Meng Zhu saw that Du Yue's face was ugly and she didn't say anything. She thought she was still angry, and continued to coax her patiently: "It's all my fault. If you are angry, then hit me, but don't get angry and hurt yourself."

  If it were usual, Du Yue might give him a glare and say who wants to hit you, and then the two of them would joke and turn the matter over.

  But now she stretched out her hand and punched Meng Zhu right in the chest!

  Meng Zhu was caught off guard, and he groaned. He covered his chest and stared at her in astonishment, "Yueyue, you..."

  "Hit me if you want, do you think I really dare not hit you?" Du Yue snorted coldly, expressionless.

  She did not miss the anger in Meng Zhu's heart when he was hit, and his right hand subconsciously raised for a moment, but finally put it down again.

  "Since I have hit you, shouldn't you forgive me?" Meng Zhu held Du Yue's hand and smiled again, "My mother said she missed you a few days ago. If she knew that I made you angry, she would definitely beat me again when I go back."

  [Tsk, he mentioned his mother again, as if he was afraid that he could not change the topic.]

  Du Yue resisted the urge to shake off his hand, and suddenly said, "Aunt misses me? How about this, I will go with you to visit her, and ask Master Ou Dan to take a look at her, that would be good..."

  "No need!"

  Meng Zhu suddenly interrupted Du Yue.

  Du Yue pursed her lips and looked at Meng Zhu intently, not missing the panic in his eyes.

  [He is anxious, he is anxious! ]     [His mother is now living in his and Chu Xin's home. If he brings Senior Sister Du home, wouldn't it be exposed?]

  Meng Zhu saw Du Yue's expression and realized that he seemed to have overreacted.

  "I, what I mean is, I know you are busy with cultivation, and my home is far away. It would take too much time for you to go with me. How could I bear it? If you really miss her, just do your best. I will convey it to you when I go back." Meng Zhu explained anxiously.

  [Shameless, what do you mean by doing your best? Isn't it because Senior Sister Du didn't respond, so I couldn't wait and asked for it!]

  Maybe Du Yue's reaction today was different from what Meng Zhu expected, and his crazy hints had a very poor effect, so he was anxious.

  Since Du Yue didn't take the initiative to give money, he had to guide her to give it.

  "You are right. I should do my best." Du Yue took out a handkerchief. "This is what I just got. It is soft and delicate. Didn't you say that my aunt is seriously ill and often drools? This handkerchief is perfect for her."

  As he said that, he handed it over with a smile.

  Meng Zhu looked at the handkerchief, which was made of good material but was obviously just an ordinary thing and not worth a few crystal stones. His face suddenly darkened.

  He waited for a while, but found that Du Yue only took out a handkerchief, and there was no movement other than that.

  "That's it?" He couldn't help asking.

  Du Yue was puzzled. "Yes, you also know that I don't have much on hand. This is already a rare good thing. Besides, isn't it a good thing? Isn't this enough?"

  Meng Zhu cursed in his heart, but his face was moved and took it. "You are right. It is very exquisite. My mother will definitely praise you when she sees it...but my mother's illness..."

  "You should accompany your aunt more. If there is any need, please ask Master Ou Dan to come over. I believe that my aunt will be rewarded with good deeds and will be safe." Du Yue comforted softly.

  Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will naturally be punished!

  Meng Zhu: ...

  [Hahaha, Senior Sister Du is awesome.]

  [Not bad, not bad, just don't respond to him, don't fall into his trap, and see how he continues!]

  Meng Zhu couldn't stay any longer, knowing that today was not a good start, and couldn't stay any longer, so he found an excuse and left Xianlai Sect alone, saying that he would come back to see Du Yue in a few days.

  As soon as he left, the people of Xianlai Sect stood up one by one, and advised with anger--

  "Junior Sister Du, this Meng Zhu is not a good match, you should quickly separate from him!"

  "That's right, I think this guy has bad intentions, he must be trying to cheat you of your money!"

  "You want to go to his house but he won't let you go, there is something fishy, ​​maybe he has another beautiful wife at home!"

  "I've said he's not a good man, you've used crystals to help him over the years, I'm afraid all that money has been fed to the dog."

  "Junior Sister Du, you're so outstanding, let's find someone else."

  [Yes, they are so right! ]

  [That's just cheating money, and he does have a beautiful wife at home. ]

  [Feeding the dog, forget it, don't insult the dog, our spotted dog is much more conscientious than him! ]

  The spotted dog brought back to the sect that day was very sensible, following everyone obediently, very intimate, and occasionally someone would come to visit and bark a few times to remind them.
