Chapter 1807 Meng Yunzheng Returns

Dr. Guo nodded, "Yes, I've heard that Dr. Zhao has his own methods of diagnosis, and sometimes he uses rather aggressive medications."

In that case, Grandma Fang should refrain from seeing other doctors for now.

"That's what I think too, so before we return to Dong'an Prefecture, we'll have to ask Doctor Guo to take good care of Auntie."

"Of course, of course." Dr. Guo was very pleased. He wanted to ask more about Old Zhao. As a doctor, he had great respect and admiration for such a renowned physician, and even wanted to meet him.

Shu Yu noticed this and smiled, "If you have the opportunity in the future, Dr. Guo, you are welcome to visit Dong'an Prefecture anytime. Even if you can't meet Elder Zhao then, I can still introduce you to Elder Zhao's disciples."

One of Master Zhao's disciples is her brother-in-law, and the other is her sister; she still has that much influence over them.

Since Shu Yu had already said so, what more could Doctor Guo possibly want? He immediately nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Lord Lu Xiang."

Shu Yu chatted with Dr. Guo for a few more minutes, mainly asking about Grandma Fang's health.

Besides being cold-sensitive, Grandma Fang also suffered from overwork in her early years. She didn't have any other major ailments, but she had a constant stream of minor problems.

Shu Yu understood the situation and thanked Doctor Guo.

The lively atmosphere of the Fang family's reunion lasted until Shu Yu left in the evening.

Grandma Fang packed the fish, meat, rice, and noodles that the guests had brought into a basket and gave them to the Guan couple as a return gift.

The Guan couple never expected that the return gift they received would be even more valuable than the one they had sent.

They brought some eggs and brown sugar. The eggs were from their own farm, and the brown sugar was quite expensive, but the quantity wasn't large. It was a rare and good thing that their family could offer.

Looking at the basket of fish, meat, rice, and noodles, the Guan couple couldn't help but exchange bewildered glances. They knew that most of this return gift was taken from the presents Shu Yu had sent. No one else in the village had received such a generous gift; theirs was exceptionally valuable.

As for Shu Yu, it doesn't matter what gift she receives in return; she has plenty. Besides, it's the dead of winter, and there aren't even any fresh fruits or vegetables.

After thinking it over, Granny Fang saw that Shu Yu liked the pickled vegetables she made, so she gave her two jars.

Only after the goods were loaded onto the carriage did Granny Fang let them leave...

After that day, Shu Yu became busy again, and Yuan Gui returned to the county government office to work the next day.

More and more people are moving around inside and outside the city, and it is gradually returning to its former liveliness.

Especially with the Lunar New Year approaching, many people are going into and out of the city to buy New Year's goods, and oxcarts and mule carts are starting to pick up business again on the roads.

Grandma Fang would occasionally ride in a mule cart into the city to visit Shu Yu and Yuan Gui, sometimes staying for a day or two, and sometimes returning home on the same day.

Time flew by, but Meng Yunzheng never returned.

The affairs in the prefectural city were more complicated than she had imagined. Just as Shu Yu was considering whether to go to the prefectural city to take a look, on the fifth day of the twelfth month, Meng Yunzheng finally returned.

He had lost a lot of weight, and his once handsome appearance had become much more disheveled. He didn't care that his clothes were torn, and he even had several chilblains on his hands.

Shu Yu frowned as she looked at him, applying the medicine with concern while asking, "Are you going to the prefectural city again? Is it that troublesome?"

Meng Yunzheng sighed, his face showing exhaustion. "Things over there aren't over yet. I took some time to come and see you all. I also have some news to share with you about what happened in the capital."
