Chapter 1145: Brother Lang is just that awesome

En's chest heaved more and more steadily and powerfully, no longer the faint breath that was almost imperceptible before, but a long and even breath.

In just a moment, as if she had never suffered from tuberculosis, Enshi slowly opened her eyes wide and suddenly sat up in bed, shocking everyone in the room.

"Whoa..." The maid Qingdai, standing to the side, couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim in surprise.

En looked down at her hands, which had regained their vitality, and then touched her cheeks. The comfortable and smooth breathing made her feel no more discomfort in her lungs.

"Your son-in-law greets Mother-in-law. Congratulations on your successful recovery! You are now fully healed!"

Unable to hide her shock, Madam En looked at Lin Lang, her voice loud but trembling with excitement: "Thank you, son-in-law... you are truly a miracle doctor! My illness... has actually been cured!"

"Thank goodness! Mother, you're alright!" Fu Yuxue could no longer hold back. She hugged Xiao Zhiling and rushed to the bedside. Her tears were no longer tears of sorrow, but hot tears mixed with wild joy. "Mother, Xue'er missed you so much! Waaah..."

"Xue'er, Mother misses you so much!"

With trembling hands, En raised her hand and tenderly wiped away her daughter's tears. Then she touched her granddaughter Xiao Zhiling's little face. "Oh my, my little granddaughter has grown so much. She looks exactly like your mother when she was little!"

With tears in her eyes, Fu Yuxue said, "My dear daughter, quickly call her Grandma."

Little Zhiling called out in her childish voice, "Grandma."

"Oh, Ling'er is so good!" En Shi cried out in response, and the three of them hugged each other and cried with joy.

Fu Yulong and his brothers then snapped out of their daze, their shock instantly replaced by overwhelming joy. They knelt on the ground, repeatedly crying out, "Mother..."

Fu Yulong reacted the fastest, his voice trembling with excitement: "What are you all standing there for! Quickly kowtow to your brother-in-law to express your gratitude! If it weren't for your brother-in-law's miraculous abilities, Mother would probably be beyond saving today."

Having said that, he kowtowed heavily, his forehead striking the blue brick with a crisp sound.

Upon hearing this, the other five brothers also quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Lang in gratitude.

In ancient times, people respected filial piety. Out of gratitude for saving their mother, even though Lin Lang was the enemy who destroyed Baekje, all five brothers kowtowed with all their might, making the blue brick floor thud loudly.

"Thank you so much, brother-in-law, for saving our mother! We brothers will never forget your great kindness!"

"My brother-in-law's kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. In the future, if there is anything we can do to help, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you for saving my mother!"

Amidst the chorus of gratitude, Lin Lang gently raised his hand and bent down to help the group up: "We're all family, brothers, there's no need for such formalities. It's better than anything else that our mother-in-law has recovered."

Ms. En sat on the hospital bed, looking at the scene before her, her eyes red but smiling with great satisfaction.

She took her daughter Fu Yuxue's hand and patted Xiao Zhiling's head, her voice gentle: "Xue'er, it's fortunate that you and your husband came back in time, otherwise your mother would never have seen you again."

With red-rimmed eyes, Fu Yulong squeezed to the bedside, his voice tight but unable to hide his overwhelming joy: "Mother! It's so good to see you're alright! I was so worried about you just now!"

Looking at her filial eldest son, Enshi said with tears in her eyes, "Good children, it's all my fault for being so weak. I've caused you brothers so much worry and concern these past few days."

"Brother, don't block my way!" Fu Yuxiao wiped away his tears, smiled, and leaned close to Enshi, asking urgently, "Mother, does your chest still hurt when you breathe?"

En touched her second son's face and replied with heartache, "I don't feel any pain anywhere now. These past few days you've been busy with your father's funeral and worrying about me, staying up all night to take care of me. You've lost a lot of weight."

Fu Yuxiao, his tears turning into a smile, said, "Mother, as long as you get through this calamity safely and stay healthy, I'd be willing to shorten my lifespan by ten years."

"Pah! Pah! Pah! What nonsense are you talking about!" Enshi's tears kept falling.

Little Zhiling handed the candied fruit she was holding to Enshi and said in her childish voice, "Grandma, don't cry. This is Ling'er's favorite candied fruit. It's sweet and delicious!"

Hearing this, Mrs. En felt a warmth in her heart, cupped her granddaughter's little face and kissed her: "Oh, Ling'er is so good, if Grandma doesn't eat, Ling'er will!"

As they spoke, the other brothers gathered around, offering their concerned words.

One person spoke to another, and the whole room was filled with the joy of something lost and found.

Fuyu Tai wiped away his tears and said with great joy, "Mother, it's so wonderful to see you recovered! Thank God!"

Madam En looked at her honest and kind third son and said with a smile through her tears, "Silly child, what's the use of thanking God? You should thank your brother-in-law for using his divine medical skills to cure your mother's tuberculosis."

Fu Yutai chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Lin Lang said with a smile, "Third Brother, there's no need to thank me. Mother-in-law hasn't eaten for many days. Quickly heat up some thin porridge or other liquid food so that she can have some to warm her stomach."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuyan hurriedly said, "There's still some black chicken and ginseng soup and vegetable porridge warming up in the kitchen. I'll go and bring it to Mother right now."

Fu Yufeng, unable to contain his excitement, said, "My brother-in-law and younger sister brought my niece back to my parents' home to bring good luck and cure our mother's tuberculosis. I'm going to the market now to buy good wine, fish and meat. We must have a good meal to celebrate."

Fu Yulong took out a silver note from his body and handed it to his younger brother Fu Yufeng, saying happily, "Fifth brother, take this silver note. Today's lunch must be even more lavish than the New Year's meal."

Just as Fu Yufeng was about to leave after taking the silver notes, Fu Yuxue quickly said, "Brother, there's no need to trouble yourself. Just eat whatever you have at home. Our father has just passed away, so it's not appropriate to have a big banquet."

Fu Yulong said, "One thing at a time. Our mother's recovery is a great joy, and with you and your brother-in-law bringing Ling'er back to your parents' home, how can I not treat you with the utmost hospitality?"

Lin Lang said, "Brother, when I and Consort Ya came back this time, we brought more than a dozen carriages full of Chang'an specialties, including everything we could eat, wear, and use. We even brought over a hundred jars of fine wine from Chang'an. We can just cook a few simple dishes."

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, brother-in-law. Fifth brother, sixth brother, you two hurry to the market to buy ingredients and don't delay." Fu Yulong patted Fu Yuyong's arm.

"Yes, elder brother." Fu Yufeng, along with his sixth brother Fu Yuyong, strode out with joyful steps.

Enshi held Fuyu Xue's hand, and the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back, rolling down her cheeks.

Seeing her daughter's fair and soft hands, which looked like the kind of hands that never lift a finger and never do any chores, she guessed that her daughter must be well-fed and pampered in Chang'an.

En's voice was as gentle as warm water as she said with great relief, "Daughter, I thought I would never see you again."

"Mother! Xue'er misses you so much!" Fu Yuxue's eyes welled up with tears again.

As she wiped away her daughter's tears, Madam En said with a smile through her tears, "Don't cry, my dear daughter. Mother is fine now, isn't she? If you miss your mother, come to Luoyang to see her more often."

“Yes,” Fuyu Xue nodded with tears in her eyes, and asked through sobs, “Mother, where are my sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces?”

Fu Yutai said, "My elder brother said that women have more yin energy and sons have more yang energy. Only we brothers are allowed to stay and pray for our mother. We are not allowed to come and cause trouble for our sister-in-law and children."

Upon hearing this, Enshi said, "You old fool! Go and bring your wife, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law over here. Have lunch together and meet your aunt and uncle who have come from afar."

"Hehe... Alright, I'll go right away." Fu Yutai scratched his head, laughed, and ran out of the house.

Fu Yulong awkwardly laughed and said, "Mother, I was just grasping at straws when I was in a desperate situation. I figured that's what everyone in the community said, so I didn't let the women come over."

After hearing this, Fu Yuxue said, "Mother, although what my elder brother did was somewhat inappropriate, he did it for your own good."

With a look of satisfaction, Madam En said, "What I'm most proud of in my life is having you all as my filial children."

As Fu Yuxue and the others listened to their mother's words, their eyes reddened, but they all nodded vigorously.

Fuyu Long wiped away his tears and said firmly, "Mother, don't worry. From now on, your sons will definitely take good care of you, and the brothers will never quarrel again!"

Fu Yuyan returned carrying a tray with black chicken and ginseng soup, vegetable porridge, and a porcelain spoon.

With tears in her eyes, Fu Yuxue picked up the porcelain bowl of ginseng soup, took a spoonful of black chicken and ginseng soup, blew on it, and fed it to her mother, Enshi, feeling guilty for not having the opportunity to fulfill her filial duty.

As En ate the vegetable porridge fed to her by her daughter, tears of happiness streamed down her face.

Little Zhiling tilted her head playfully and asked in confusion, "Grandma, is the medicine you're drinking very bitter?"

Mrs. En gently pinched her granddaughter's nose and smiled kindly, "This is black chicken and ginseng soup, it's not bitter."

Little Zhiling raised her little hand to wipe away Enshi's tears and said in her childish voice, "Why is Grandma crying?"

With tears in her eyes and a smile on her face, Enshi said, "Grandma cried tears of joy when she saw your mother taking you back to her parents' home!"

"Oh," Xiao Zhiling responded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Lady Eun took off the jade pendant of the Queen of Baekje from her body and put it in her granddaughter's hand, saying gently, "Ling'er, take this. It's a gift from your grandmother to you."

Xiao Zhiling held the cool, smooth jade pendant in her hand, her round eyes filled with curiosity, her fingertips gently caressing the royal patterns carved on it, which were used by the Queen of Baekje.

She tilted her head and looked at Fuyu Xue, her soft voice carrying the innocent confusion of a child: "Mother, this jade pendant is so beautiful, is it Grandma's treasure?"

Fu Yuxue looked at the jade pendant, her eyes slightly warm. "Yes, this is what your maternal grandmother cherished most. Ling'er can't keep it. Quickly return it to your maternal grandmother."

Enshi said, "Ling'er, don't listen to your mother. Your grandmother said to give it to you, so just accept it."

"Thank you, Grandma!" Xiao Zhiling clutched the jade pendant tightly in her hand, a sweet smile on her face.

En took Xiao Zhiling's hand and carefully tied the jade pendant inside her clothes. Her fingertips touched her granddaughter's warm skin, and her heart was filled with warmth: "Ling'er, grow up safely and healthily."

"Mmm." Xiao Zhiling nodded with a smile in her eyes.

Lin Lang stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene of grandfather and grandson, his eyes filled with warmth.

Fu Yu Xue continued to feed her mother, Eun-shi, ginseng soup and vegetable porridge, creating a heartwarming scene of maternal love and filial piety.

Fu Yulong stood aside, secretly wiping away tears. He had been heartbroken ever since his father passed away and his mother fell seriously ill.

Seeing that his mother's serious illness was cured as soon as his younger sister and her family of three returned to their parents' home, Fu Yulong, the eldest son, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The hatred that Fu Yuxiao and his brothers originally felt for Lin Lang's past actions of leading troops to destroy Baekje has faded because of the kindness shown to them in saving their mother.
