90 Doctor Du Returns Home (Please vote~)
The maid knew very well that Zhao Shu was the only one who could take charge of the overall situation in the mansion now.
If she leaves too, the old lady might not be able to hold on for a few more days!
I'm afraid the Guo family is really going to fall apart.
As for the cousin who was pampered in the mansion, she was not even considered by the maid.
In the eyes of the maid, the cousin was just a cheap prostitute who was used to pleasing men.
Can she still expect the man with a head full of thieves and prostitutes to take charge of the overall situation in the mansion?
Zhao Shu took a deep breath and said, "You can go back! From today on, I am no longer the head lady of the Guo family. I will divorce Guo Qing!"
The maid looked up in surprise at the figure in the room through the screen.
"Madam, please think twice!"
"Think twice? The Guo family has harmed me to this extent! They have harmed our Zhao family to this extent! How dare you advise me to think twice?!"
Zhao Shu, with a pair of eyes swollen like walnuts, walked around the screen, came to the maid and looked at her straight.
The maid lowered her head in silence, and after a long while she spoke, "I was mistaken, I will take my leave."
Zhao Shu ignored her and turned to urge the maids and servants who came with her dowry.
"Everyone, please hurry up. I don't want to stay in the Guo family any longer."
The maids and servants who had come with Zhao Shu as a dowry were all very loyal, and upon hearing her words, they became more skillful.
Inside the Shuntian Prefecture Prison.
The first thing the Shaoqing of Dali Temple did after taking over the affairs of Shuntian Prefecture was to send people to release Doctor Du who was detained in the prison.
At this moment, Doctor Du was following the yamen runners out.
He didn't know he was going to be released.
Until they reached the prison gate.
The bright light outside shone on his face. Du Qiushi, who had not seen the sun for a long time, felt it was a bit dazzling and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.
As he raised his hand, the chain on his wrist also made a jingling sound.
The yamen runner guarding the door took out a bunch of keys from his waist, picked out the key that belonged to Du Qiushi, and handed it to the yamen runner who brought Du Qiushi over.
"Doctor Du! Come and remove the shackles first. You can cover your eyes however you want later."
Du Qiushi looked at the yamen runner in confusion, "What did you say?"
The yamen runner took Du Qiushi's hand, clicked twice, and helped him remove the chain.
"Doctor Du, you are free!"
As he spoke, he opened the cell door and signaled Du Qiushi that he could leave.
Du Langzhong's face was full of shock.
He pointed a finger at himself and asked, "You guys are going to let me go?"
The two runners laughed, "Doctor Du, is he so happy that he's silly? Hahahaha, you don't know yet! Your case has been overturned. It was that Guo Qing who made the wrong judgment and wrongly accused you. And that Guo Qing has been detained in the Heavenly Prison by the Emperor and sentenced to be executed in the autumn!"
Du Qiushi only felt his heart pounding.
He bowed respectfully to the two yamen runners and said, "Thank you very much, both yamen runners!"
"What are you thanking me for? We are embarrassed to have detained you for so many days. Just don't blame us."
Du Qiushi shook his head and said, "I dare not. Besides, the culprit has already been punished by the emperor."
One of the yamen runners saw that Du Qiushi's expression was not fake, so he patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Okay! Go home and see your wife and children. They must have prepared wine and food for you."
Upon hearing about his wife and children, Du Qiushi was eager to return home. He nodded to the two yamen runners and stepped over the threshold.
Du Qiushi finally walked out of the heavy and cold iron door. The sunlight shone on his face, bringing a sense of warmth and freedom.
He took a step forward and ran towards home almost instinctively, and every step seemed to express his longing and yearning for home.
However, when he actually stood in front of the familiar yet unfamiliar door of his home, an indescribable complex emotion surged in his heart.
His hand was suspended in the air, and he dared not knock gently, as if he was afraid of breaking the long-lost tranquility, or worried that the familiar smiling face would no longer be behind the door.
Just as he was feeling hesitant and anxious, the door was quietly opened from the inside, and a face he had been thinking about day and night came into his sight - who else could it be but Mrs. Du?
At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and their eyes met in the air, containing too many emotions:
Surprise, because I didn't expect the reunion to come so suddenly;
Surprised at this unexpected moment;
There is also a deep sense of luck that comes from having gone through all the hardships and surviving a disaster.
Mrs. Du's eyes were slightly red. She quickly wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes. A gentle smile appeared on the corners of her mouth, and her voice was a little choked but firm.
"I knew you'd be back! What are you doing standing at the door? Come in!"
These words contain both reproach and endless longing and expectation.
Du Qiushi was relieved after hearing this. He also laughed and said jokingly, "I was just about to knock on the door, but I didn't expect that Madam had already opened the door for me. It seems that we really have a tacit understanding!"
When Mrs. Du heard this, a hint of shyness appeared on her face. She rolled her eyes and said something slightly annoyed, but she reached out and held Du Qiushi's hand tightly, and the warmth spread through her palm.
"Come in! The hot water has been boiled and clean clothes have been prepared for you. Take a good bath and relax, then change into new clothes. Come to the restaurant, I have specially prepared some of your favorite specialties for you to welcome you."
Du Qiushi nodded, his heart full of gratitude and happiness.
The two walked in together.
Du Qiushi looked at the empty courtyard and asked, "Where are my son and daughter?"
Madam Du paused and replied, "My son is in the academy. I will write to him tomorrow to ask him to come back. My daughter is working for Princess Chong'an. Don't worry."
Du Qiushi took a deep breath, looked at Mrs. Du and said, "I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble these days."
Madam Du shook her head. "Who knows? Maybe this is a blessing in disguise for us. My daughter and I have both worshipped Princess Chong'an as our master. With Princess Chong'an protecting us, no one will dare to bully us anymore."
Hearing this, Doctor Du thought of the girl who claimed to be marrying Princess Chong'an, and asked, "Is it the eldest daughter of the Jiang family?"
Mrs. Du nodded, "Yes, she should have gone to the prison to see you, right?"
Doctor Du nodded, then smiled and said, "My husband has also worshipped her as his master, so it's a good relationship. Let's just work for the princess as a family. If it weren't for her this time, I'm afraid my husband would not be able to leave the prison."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then Du Qiushi went to take a shower and change clothes.
When he finished packing and came to the restaurant, the table was already filled with delicious food.
