"Why are you back home from work so early today?" The old lady of the Duke saw Duke Zheng from afar and went to ask.
This was not the usual style of Duke Zheng. Even when he was off duty, he would be busy with many official duties. It was rare for him to return home so early today.
"Ma'am, follow me to the study."
Duke Zheng couldn't hide his excitement and held up the Duke's wife's hands. His lips moved, but he finally stopped the excitement that was gushing out.
Having been married for decades, how could the Duke's wife not know about the Duke Zheng's unconcealable joy?
Looking at Duke Zheng walking in front of her with a breeze, the Duke's wife couldn't help but feel happy.
Ever since the incident at his daughter's home, the Duke hadn't been so happy for a long time.
Even though the Duke's wife didn't know why the Duke was so happy, it didn't stop her from being happy too.
So the Duke's wife couldn't help but quicken her pace to catch up.
As soon as the Duke's wife entered the study, the Duke loudly ordered, "Madam, close the door."
"Duke, why are you so happy?" The Duke's wife said with a smile as she looked at Duke Zheng who was showing his emotions.
"Are the eldest and second eldest brothers at home?" The third eldest brother was sent out by him, and it would be more appropriate for him to handle urgent matters.
"The boss hasn't returned from his shift yet. He was called out by his colleagues." Therefore, all the men in charge of the mansion went out.
"Master, if you need anything, I will send someone to call him." After saying this, the Duke's wife quickly put down the teacup and stood up.
Duke Zheng pressed his hand, motioning for his wife to sit down. "Since they're not here, I'll talk to your wife first."
The Duke's wife crossed her arms and looked at Duke Zheng with a smile, but she remained elegant. Even though her head was covered with silver hair, she still looked graceful and elegant.
"Is Sha Yi, the nephew of Madam Shen, the county magistrate of Yuan'an County?"
"That's right. The other day, Madam Shen Guogong came to the mansion to find me and asked me to find a reliable wife for Sha Yi. He's already in his twenties, but he still refuses to talk about a wife."
"He also refused to be transferred back to the capital from Yuan'an County. We know that Sha Yi has always been upright, unconcerned with trivial matters, and loyal."
"He promised the people of Yuan'an County that he would serve as the county magistrate for ten years. Only eight years have passed. There's no point for Madam Shen Guogong to worry. She herself said that once Sha Yi makes a decision, no one can pull him back."
"Neither Lady Shen nor his aunt listen to him, so how can they listen to me? Sha Yi will not compromise on matters of principle. Lady Shen has chosen the wrong person and used the wrong method."
The Duke's wife smiled and then became worried again. Sha Yi had been a playboy since he was a child, and he didn't like to study. He was a dissolute playboy.
He doesn't cause trouble, but he's not afraid of it either. His only shortcoming is that he often gets into fights for his so-called friends.
He is fearless and dares to offend anyone.
Sha Yi, who was loyal, made some friends, and the reason why he entered the officialdom was also because of his sense of loyalty.
"Sha Yi is not an ordinary person. Madam, please ask the eldest and second daughters-in-law to help find out."
Duke Zheng actually liked Sha Yi's style of doing things. Although he was a bit unruly, he was straightforward, generous, loyal, and had the demeanor of a gentleman.
But... the topic went a bit off topic, and Duke Zheng handed the letter from Duke Shen to the Duke's wife.
"Sha Yi's matter is not urgent. Madam may wish to take a look at this first." Duke Zheng pretended to be mysterious and stuffed the letter into the hands of his wife.
The Duke's wife was skeptical and opened the letter. When she saw the contents clearly.
The hands holding the letter began to tremble unconsciously. She stood up excitedly, looked at the letter in disbelief, and then looked at Duke Zheng.
This happened many times, and the hand holding the letter was still shaking, and tears were already streaming down her face.
Her lips trembled, the corners of her eyes twitched, the muscles in her jaw were shaking, and she could vaguely feel her teeth rubbing up and down.
After repeating this many times, he carefully treated the letter as a treasure and pressed it to his heart.
The Duke's wife suppressed her inner excitement. She looked at Duke Zheng for confirmation, her eyes filled with expectation, "Master, is this true?"
She wanted to ask if Changgong's leg was really healed and if the poison was removed.
Is everything in the letter true? He feels like he's dreaming, it doesn't feel real at all.
She needed Duke Zheng to give her a positive answer.
Duke Zheng helped the Duke's wife sit down beside him, gently patted her trembling hands, and comforted her.
"Although Sha Yi loves to play around, he won't joke with Chang Gong. Chang Gong... is really fine, fine."
The grandson he was proud of was back.
"Woo woo... That's great. God bless me. I'm going to Jing'an Temple to restore it."
The Duke's wife cried like a child. At this moment, she was no longer the graceful and elegant old lady of the Duke.
But he is an old man who cares about his children and grandchildren.
"Jie'er finally got her wish. By the way, who cured him? It was Chang Gong's benefactor, and also our Zheng family's great benefactor."
"We should give generous gifts to others and we should be filled with gratitude. A thousand thanks are not enough to express my gratitude."
The Duke's wife has already prepared a series of expensive gifts in her mind, which must be cautious and generous, as this is a life-saving grace and a life-saving grace.
"It's Changgong's wife."
"Su Sijin?" The Duke's wife widened her eyes in shock.
The multiple pieces of news she just heard were so unreal that she felt like she was hallucinating.
"Duke Shen said that the plague in Yuan'an County was contained and eliminated by Chang Gong's wife. In Yuan'an County, Chang Gong's wife is revered as a miracle doctor by the local people."
"But I haven't heard of it in the capital!" Let alone a miracle doctor, even the plague in Yuan'an County did not cause much sensation in the capital.
Because with the arrival of Sha Yi's memorial, the plague in Yuan'an County had been contained and eliminated.
Sha Yi's memorial was to ask for credit, but it did not mention who developed the prescription. What's the point...?
"Because Chang Gong doesn't want...he doesn't want to be..." People knew that Duke Zheng was referring to the above.
"Good! Good! Good!" The Duke's wife said three good words in a row. "Changgong has become more stable and has a long-term perspective."
"I've never heard before that Changgong's wife is a doctor!" She felt incredible when she suddenly heard that Su Sijin's medical skills were so superb.
After all, so many doctors and imperial physicians have been consulted, but they all said that there is no cure. It seems that Su Sijin's medical skills have reached perfection.
"That's great! Chang Gong has recovered very well. With the help of Su, the miracle doctor, I feel much more at ease when they are on their way to Lingnan."
Duke Zheng smiled so hard that his teeth showed, "Sha Yi also said that Madam Lu and Chang Gong's family have split up and severed their relationship."
"sky!"
It was great news. Jie'er finally got rid of that old hag. Jie'er finally didn't have to look at that vicious woman's face anymore. Jie'er finally made it.
It is incredible that he can get rid of the old hag. She is like a blood-sucking leech that won't let go once it sucks.
Even if her stomach was bloated and about to explode, she would not let go. She actually agreed to separate the family and break off the relationship?
This...why did she feel like she was in a dream, so unreal.
To get the old woman to propose breaking off the engagement, Chang Gong must have sacrificed a lot! Or perhaps he agreed to many very harsh conditions.
