Chapter 138 Heartbreak
"Sure. If you're not busy, you can make this dish yourself. It's very simple. But I don't have time right now. If Baoxianglou opens earlier, Doctor Su can go there and try it."
Just as she finished speaking, she seemed to remember something and said, "Dr. Su, didn't you say last time that you wanted to eat the Chongwu fish rolls here? This is not difficult to come by, and there are plenty of them this season."
"Really? But I don't know where to eat."
Yu Huatang said, "I happen to know how to cook. Why don't I make one for you when I have a chance? This dish is very simple and doesn't take much effort."
Su Qinghe's face was filled with anticipation, his gentle gaze tinged with eagerness. "Really? Did Miss Yu do it herself?"
Yu Huatang said to him, "Currently, the meals are in the charge of the cook. I'll quietly ask her to buy some ingredients for me, and then serve them after they're cooked. They won't know."
Su Qinghe smiled happily and said gently, "Thank you, Miss Yu."
"As you should, since you came to help us, I'll cook a dish for you. It's a good deal for us."
Not far away, Master Ji had already parked his car at the gate of the government office. "Sir, please get in the car."
Zhao Yan turned around and looked at the two of them and said, "How about we go back together?"
Su Qinghe looked at Yu Huatang, who shook his head, "No, it's not far. I can just walk back."
Zhao Yan didn't say anything, but asked politely. After getting her answer, he turned around and got on the carriage.
The carriage began to move forward, and the people who were originally together were isolated outside the carriage. The sound became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be heard.
Su Qinghe must be very happy to be able to walk with her on such a beautiful night with the hazy moonlight. Maybe when the wind blows, he will take off his cloak and give it to her. That cloak still contains his warmth.
He couldn't calm down at this moment. He felt bitter when he thought about her wearing clothes with someone else's body temperature.
The evil branches in his body grew even stronger. Jealousy and unwillingness made him clench his hands. His original gratitude and respect for Su Qinghe were now gone!
By the time most of the infected livestock and corpses in the city had been burned, the epidemic in the city finally showed signs of slowing down.
Some people who took the medicine were able to get up.
Su Qinghe devised a new prescription, and the patient felt much better the next day. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. After so long, they finally saw hope.
A few days later in the evening, when Zhao Yan passed by the hospital, he smelled a unique and fresh scent. He stood there for a while, then walked towards the tent.
Everyone inside had gone out to eat, leaving only Su Qinghe. He had just finished eating the Chongwu fish roll in front of him and put the plate on a tray beside him.
Seeing him coming, Su Qinghe asked doubtfully, "Sir, what's the matter?"
Zhao Yan said, "Has the new prescription been finalized? If it is confirmed, we need to send someone to buy it immediately. I don't think there are enough medicinal herbs in the city."
Su Qinghe nodded, "Your Excellency is very considerate. These herbs, except for some Gastrodia elata and mint seeds, need to be purchased again. However, there seems to be a new epidemic in Hui'an County and Fuzhou now, so Your Excellency will have to go elsewhere to buy herbs."
Zhao Yan mentioned his plan to buy some herbs later. Looking at the tray in front of him, he casually asked, "Miss Yu made Chongwu fish rolls?"
"Not really. She was worried that her cooking skills weren't good enough, and she didn't have time today, so she bought some ingredients and asked the kitchen lady to make it. It tasted really good."
Zhao Yan chuckled. "That's because she's being modest. I don't know how good her fish rolls are, but a few years ago, before we divorced, she often made me spring rolls. I was still working in the Ministry of Industry at the time, and I thought her cooking was excellent."
After hearing this, Su Qinghe was obviously shocked and asked, "Divorce? Ministry of Works?"
Zhao Yan said casually, "Oh? Didn't Miss Yu tell you?" Then he sighed, "Perhaps Huatang doesn't want to talk about these past events. In that case, I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, he left indifferently and calmly.
Su Qinghe, who was left behind, was full of surprise.
He had always wanted to ask Miss Yu if she was married, but perhaps because she had been too busy recently and they also lived together in Changming Pavilion, he felt that there was enough time and he could ask her later. Besides, after all this time, he knew that she didn't have a husband, at least not yet.
However, Lord Zhao just came over and said that they divorced a few years ago... So they were husband and wife before, and Miss Yu is Lord Zhao's wife...
But wasn't Lord Zhao the son of the Left Prime Minister? He remembered that Miss Yu seemed to be an orphan. So how did these two become husband and wife? And why did they divorce? After the divorce, why did Lord Zhao become the governor of the state, while Miss Yu became a craftsman?
He couldn't figure out the key point, he just felt that Zhao Yan's words today made him feel cold all over!
He wanted to know what had happened between Miss Yu and Lord Zhao, and what was happening now.
He stayed in the hospital for a long time that night. When he got up the next day, it was already dawn. In the past few days, the servants and apprentices of Changming Pavilion had returned one after another.
Qingxing was setting up breakfast and came over to say, "Doctor Su, the master went to the hospital early this morning. This is the food left for you."
Su Qinghe took it and said softly, "Thank you, Qingxing."
"Doctor Su, you are too polite. You are our benefactor." Qingxing said as she cleaned up.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Su Qinghe pretended to be indifferent and said, "I heard before... Miss Yu and Lord Zhao are husband and wife..."
Qing Xing nodded, "Yes, Master was married to Lord Zhao before, but they divorced later." This was known to everyone in the city. Although she had only been his disciple for a short time, she had known it for a long time.
After hearing Qingxing's answer, Su Qinghe's last glimmer of hope was finally shattered.
He said, "I really didn't notice that. They get along very well. If I hadn't told you, no one would have known they were once married. What was the reason for their divorce? Mr. Zhao doesn't seem like a wild playboy."
Qing Xing glanced at him, then looked outside, and whispered, "Doctor Su, let me tell you something in secret. It was originally because Lord Zhao treated Master badly, and Master was an orphan, so she must have suffered a lot of grievances, which led to the divorce. Everyone thinks Lord Zhao is a good official and a good man. But I don't think he is a good husband."
Xu Fu, who had just walked in, followed suit and said, "He's just good at pretending. What's so good about that? Senior Sister should have divorced him earlier."
Qingxing asked, "Why are you here?" The two were about the same age. Xu Fu's own craftsmanship had not yet reached the required level, but he loved to assign her difficult handicrafts. Qingxing refused to admit from the bottom of her heart that this man was older than her, so she called him by his full name, and Yu Huatang followed their lead.
