Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Chapter 157 Mouth-to-mouth feeding of medicine

Just as Shen Zicen put Li Mo'er down, Chu Xiaohuan also fainted.

He hadn't eaten for a long time and was already exhausted. He had just used his last bit of strength to carry Li Mo'er up on his back.

Wang Cheng immediately sent people to take Chu Xiaohuan and Li Mo'er to the general's mansion and also invited a doctor.

Shen Zicen stood guard by Li Mo'er's bedside, holding Li Mo'er's hands tightly.

Feeling her burning hot hands, tears streamed down his face. He hadn't taken good care of Mo'er; in just a few days, Mo'er had been injured one after another.

"Young Master Shen, Madam Li has caught a cold, she will recover soon."

The old doctor stood aside and handed him a prescription. "Take this medicine twice a day, and you will be cured in three days."

Shen Zicen wiped away her tears, took the prescription, and was about to get up to brew the medicine.

The servant beside him quickly took the prescription. "Young Master Shen, let's go."

Li Mo'er had Shen Zicen to take care of her, but Chu Xiaohuan only had servants and himself.

Wang Cheng originally wanted to stay at the General's Mansion, but she needed to supervise the situation at Yingkelou, so she could only send them back and then left.

Chu Xiaohuan had just opened his eyes when he saw Qingzhu standing beside him.

When Qingzhu saw Chu Xiaohuan wake up, she quickly went forward and helped him up.

"General, would you like to eat something first?"

Chu Xiaohuan shook his head weakly, his voice hoarse as he spoke.

"How is Mo'er?"

He knows the condition of his own body.

When Qingzhu heard that the general was concerned about Li Mo'er as soon as he woke up, she pouted and replied reluctantly.

“She has Young Master Shen to take care of her, so we don’t need to worry about her.”

Qingzhu spoke the last sentence very softly, but Chu Xiaohuan still heard it.

His spirits instantly plummeted. Mo'er had someone to take care of her, so what excuse did he have to take care of her?

Qingzhu immediately noticed Chu Xiaohuan's unusual emotions. "General, I didn't..."

He was anxious and didn't know how to explain.

Chu Xiaohuan slowly raised his hand, signaling Qingzhu to leave.

"General, would you like something to eat...?"

Before Qingzhu could finish speaking, Chu Xiaohuan closed his eyes, clearly not wanting to listen.

Qingzhu sighed, feeling sorry for Chu Xiaohuan.

The general is so distressed because of Li Mo'er, but Li Mo'er never cares about the general.

But the general's body simply couldn't take it; he was unconscious for a day, and all he was given was some water.

After much deliberation, Qingzhu went to Li Mo'er's place, hoping she could help persuade Chu Xiaohuan.

"Boom boom boom——"

Hearing the knock on the door, Shen Zicen glanced at Li Mo'er, who was still unconscious, and got up to open the door.

"Young Master Shen, is Madam Li... awake?"

Before Qingzhu could finish her question, Shen Zicen replied, "She's fine, you can tell General Chu to rest assured."

Shen Zicen was conflicted. He could see Chu Xiaohuan's feelings for Li Mo'er, but if they were to marry Chu Xiaohuan, they would have to leave Li Mo'er.

Yesterday, he saw that Chu Xiaohuan looked at Li Mo'er with eyes full of worry, and that he had taken care of Li Mo'er all night.

Shen Zicen was in a state of confusion. After speaking, she turned around and closed the door.

Qingzhu, who was locked outside, was somewhat at a loss. He had clearly come to let Li Mo'er go see the general, so why...?

Just as he was about to knock on the door again, he saw someone carrying a bowl of medicine coming over.

Qingzhu took the medicine from his hand. "You can go now. I'll go in and deliver it."

This time, Qingzhu knocked on the door and then went in with the medicine.

He looked at Li Mo'er, who was still lying on the bed with her eyes closed, and frowned slightly. He hadn't expected that Li Mo'er hadn't woken up yet.

He put the medicine on the table and was about to turn and leave when he heard Shen Zicen speak.

"I will go to see General Chu."

He also had some things to talk to him about.

From the moment Qingzhu entered, Shen Zicen knew it was him and guessed what he was worried about.

Qingzhu didn't say anything, turned around and left. He didn't think that Young Master Shen could help the general.

Shen Zicen picked up the medicine, blew on it gently, and then used a spoon to bring it to Li Mo'er's lips.

But most of the medicine spilled out of the bowl. Shen Zicen frowned slightly. At this rate, she probably wouldn't be able to drink more than a few sips of the medicine.

Shen Zicen smelled the bitterness of the medicine, but without hesitation, he took a big mouthful and then fed it to Li Mo'er.

Li Mo'er frowned, trying to push the medicine away with her tongue, but Shen Zicen noticed her intention and quickly withdrew, covering her mouth with his hand to prevent her from spitting it out.

Shen Zicen continued feeding the baby the second time only after hearing a "glug" sound.

It took Shen Zicen about an incense stick's time to feed him this bowl of medicine, by which time it had completely cooled down.

The cold medicine tasted even more bitter, so after he finished feeding it to the patient, he poured several cups of tea into the patient's mouth.

He was also someone who was afraid of hardship, yet he did all this for Li Mo'er.

That Chu Xiaohuan...
