I don’t know if it was Shen Huaixu’s words that worked, but as soon as the group of human traffickers entered the prison, they spilled everything they knew.

However, the news was blocked by the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and could not reach the ears of the emperor and empress in time.

However, some of the parties involved told the emperor and empress about the grievances they suffered that night and their heroic act of punishing the human traffickers. Because Chen Huaixu had instructed them to do so, Chaohua did not mention Shangguan Yi when he filed the complaint.

Although the emperor and empress were angry, when they learned that Chao Hua and others had vented their anger on their own, they turned a blind eye and let the government office handle things according to the rules.

Who would have thought that the matter would involve the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

Originally, this matter could not be reported to the emperor, because Chen Huaixu had a good father.

The emperor frowned and looked up. "Has the third son of the Zhenyuan Marquis family returned to the capital? And colluded with the kidnapper to abduct Chaohua and Mingyi?"

"The gang said Shangguan Yi asked them to kidnap two of the four people."

The emperor opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he only said: "Mr. Shen, you... please step down first."

"I will take my leave."

After Chen Su walked far enough away, the emperor played with the beads in his hand, seeming to be lost in thought.

"How has the third son of the Zhenyuan Marquis' family behaved since returning to the capital?"

"Your Majesty, the Third Young Master Shangguan has always been a playboy and uninhibited..." Eunuch Xi glanced at His Majesty's face and said calmly, "Although his actions are not as absurd as before, they have not changed much."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Marquis Zhenyuan is really old. He can't even control his own son."

"Convey my order and summon the Marquis of Zhenyuan to the palace."

Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

Shangguan Zhu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, was furious in his study. His roar caused the servants who were cleaning to move more slowly, fearing that the fire would burn them accidentally.

"Are you trying to piss off your father to death? You've only been back for a few days and you've already caused such a big mess. If His Majesty asks about this, how am I going to cover up for you?!"

Shangguan Yi had long lost his former arrogance. He knelt on the ground and muttered, "I never let them attack Princess Chaohua and Shen Huaixu..."

"Asshole!"

A paperweight fell down, brushing Shangguan Yi's shoulder and landing on the ground.

Marquis Zhenyuan sat down heavily. "The fact is that Princess Chaohua and Shen Huaixu fell into their hands. With Shen Su messing things up, you can't escape the blame! Even if those two weren't involved, how can it be glorious for my son, Shangguan Zhu, to be involved with such a lowly person who does such things!"

Shangguan Yi closed his eyes, knelt down and bowed deeply, "I'm just angry that Chen Huaixu came home and caused the estrangement between my second sister-in-law and mother, and also humiliated my sister in public. I know I was wrong, and I beg father to save me this time!"

"Provoking Chen Huaixu is nothing to be afraid of, but you shouldn't have done it in front of Princess Chaohua. It's a mess, haven't your father cleaned up enough of it for you over the years?" Shangguan Zhu looked as if he had suddenly aged ten years, and his words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "There won't be a next time."

When the oral order from the palace reached the mansion of Marquis Zhenyuan, Marquis Zhenyuan seemed to have expected it. After receiving the order, he brought Shangguan Yi into the palace.

At noon, the sun was scorching the earth. Shangguan Yi was kneeling in front of Xuande Gate, and officials passing by would always look at him uncontrollably.

After being exposed to the sun for a long time, the pale skin turned red, and the eyes were wet with sweat, which got into the eyes and caused some stinging.

Shangguan Yi never thought that one day he would fall into the hands of a young woman.

A gloom fell over his face.

Chen Huaixu, I will remember you.

Shen Huaixu, who was still on rest, rubbed her nose, feeling as if someone was thinking of her.

Shangguan Yi knelt in front of Xuande Gate for two days and was finally carried back to the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

After hearing this, Shen Huaixu only cursed inwardly, saying that it served him right, and then put the matter behind him.

She recently heard about something that happened in the Qiao family, where she had been treating patients, a few days ago. Mrs. Qiao stabbed Mr. Qiao to death with a silver hairpin late one night.

After all, the Qiao family is a royal merchant family, and the family affairs of such a wealthy family have always been a topic of conversation among the people after dinner.

All kinds of rumors came one after another, and in the end, they were nothing more than "The old man is not Mr. Qiao's biological son" and "Mrs. Qiao did this because she wanted to elope with her adulterer."

It was inevitable that Shen Huaixu heard someone say this in Jishiditang. Every time he heard it, he frowned and recalled Mrs. Qiao, whom he had only met a few times. Although Mrs. Qiao was beautiful, her eyes were not seductive, but rather very clear.

She felt that she shouldn't be that kind of person.

But a beautiful woman is always praised for her beauty when she is doing well, but once she is stained with a stain, even if it is not confirmed, people will tarnish her completely.

She didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she couldn't help but let it find her.

“Doctor Shen, my wife asks you to come over.”

There were not many patients that day. Shen Huaixu was working on pulse records at his desk when he looked up and saw a woman dressed as a maid.

"Where are you from? What's wrong with your wife?" she asked.

The maid looked around cautiously before whispering, "Doctor Shen, you should remember that my wife is the daughter of the Qiao family and she just gave birth a few days ago."

Qiao Baozhu?

Shen Huaixu stood up and waved to his disciple, "What's wrong with her body?"

"The young lady only asked you to come home for a visit, and didn't say anything more."

The maid's words were vague, and Shen Huaixu did not dare to delay. He picked up the medicine box, pointed at Fang Cangli who was walking over, and said, "She is my apprentice, I will take her with me."

The maid smiled and said, "It would be great if you could do me a favor, young doctor!"

Fang Cangli has been visiting patients' homes with her master quite often these days, and she has discovered that her master is different from other people's masters.

Other masters start teaching their apprentices by teaching them to identify medicinal herbs, and it will take three to five years. Those with poor memory may take even longer. During this period, they will not teach anything else. If they want to learn, they have to rely on themselves to listen and watch more.

Her master not only pointed out the content that she needed to read in the book, but also explained everything about daily medication and acupuncture, and was very generous in teaching her.

She was also asked to carry a small notebook and a charcoal pencil with her so that she could listen and take notes at any time.

It was a little difficult for her to remember everything, but after listening more, she could always remember three or five points. Fang Cangli felt deeply that her master was simply the best master in the world!

The carriage galloped all the way and arrived at the gate of Qiao Mansion. Unlike the last time, this time, the whole place was white.

Shen Huaixu collected his thoughts and followed the maid to Qiao Baozhu's room in the inner courtyard.
