After seven years, Amu returned to the Duke Dingguo's Mansion again. Along the way, he was nervous and excited. That was the home he had lived in for twelve years.
Linlang held his hand. She also wanted to see the place where Amu had lived since childhood.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Duke Dingguo's mansion. When the couple got out of the carriage hand in hand, Su Nanting gave them a look and said, "He's here, don't worry."
It turned out that the couple followed them all the way here because they were afraid that they would be bullied at the Duke Dingguo's Mansion. They were so thoughtful.
The nervousness in Linlang and Amu's hearts disappeared in an instant, and they followed Xiao Zhensheng and Su Nanting into the mansion.
The Duke's Mansion is indeed different. It covers a large area and is magnificent with pavilions, towers, etc., showing wealth everywhere. In fact, this also illustrates the status of Duke Dingguo in the court.
Ah Mu didn't dare look around openly, his peripheral vision swept over everything familiar, as if he had returned to his childhood. He had explored every place here with his brother, and it was familiar to him.
After seven years, Amu returned home. He had fulfilled his wish. In the past seven years, he had dreamed of home countless times. He never thought that one day he would be able to stand here, return home, and see his family.
As he got what he wanted, Amu was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
Noticing Amu's change in mood, Linlang took his hand and whispered, "I will come back openly in the future. This is your home."
"Yeah." Amu nodded heavily. This was his home. Why should he let those people occupy it? He must take it back.
Xiao Zhensheng led the three of them to the hall, and after they sat down, he served tea. "Go, invite the Second Young Master over."
Xiao Yujian began to look forward to it after Xiao Zhensheng left. He knew that his father must have found out that his sister-in-law was in the capital and went to his brother and sister-in-law's house to ask her to come and see him.
When my sister-in-law comes, my brother will definitely come with her, so the two brothers can meet again.
He changed into bright clothes to make himself look more energetic, and even looked in front of the mirror, determined to leave a good impression on his sister-in-law. Seeing him like this, his brother felt relieved.
The people in Jinxiu Courtyard still refused to see him. She wasn't his mother, just an enemy, and Xiao Yujian didn't take it to heart. However, he would go to pay his respects every morning, noon, and evening, if for no other reason than to observe the situation in her courtyard.
He wanted to find something to hold against her as soon as possible and get rid of all the spies in the mansion so that his brother could return home.
The whole morning was almost over, and his father still hadn't returned. Xiao Yujian waited anxiously, and from time to time he sent a servant to check on the door. The servant was on duty, eager to see the young master's illness, and he ran as fast as he could every time. Unfortunately, the news he brought back was, "The Marquis hasn't returned yet."
Just when Xiao Yujian thought that his father wouldn't be able to invite his sister-in-law today and that he wouldn't be able to meet his brother, the servant came running back breathlessly, "Sir, the Marquis is back, and Marquis Anchang is here too, and they've invited Dr. Rong back. There's hope for your illness."
Xiao Yujian was so excited that his brother and sister-in-law were here, but he couldn't show it too much. "I didn't expect that they would really invite them."
Completely ignoring Marquis Anchang, Xiao Yujian could no longer wait and headed towards the main courtyard. He was so happy to see his brother and sister-in-law soon.
The servant jogged behind him. The young master was in good spirits today and walked so fast. It seemed that Doctor Rong was really amazing.
The butler met Xiao Yujian on the way, and the three of them quickly arrived at the hall.
Xiao Zhensheng was surprised to see his energetic youngest son, whose face even had a faint blush. He quickly stood up and introduced him to the three people, "This is my youngest son, Xiao Yuzhang."
Xiao Yuzhang looked at Ah Mu first. His brother and sister-in-law must have been wearing veils to avoid recognition. He wanted to take a few more glances, but he quickly looked away, called out "Father", and bowed to the three of them after Xiao Zhensheng introduced them.
Perhaps because he had walked too fast just now, Xiao Yuzhang coughed. Frightened, Xiao Zhensheng quickly asked him to sit down, personally poured him a glass of water, and patted him on the back gently, "Take a break and drink some water."
Xiao Zhensheng was most afraid of his son coughing. Once he coughed, he would have difficulty breathing, his throat would feel like a bellows, and his face would turn purple. It was so scary.
After observing for a while, Xiao Zhensheng breathed a sigh of relief and found that the coughing had stopped and the asthma had not recurred.
Seeing Xiao Yujian so thin, Su Nanting, Linlang and Amu felt very distressed. This child must be suffering from this disease.
Su Nanting said, "Now that the person is here, let's quickly let Dr. Rong take a look. The sooner we see him, the sooner we can relieve the symptoms and ease the pain."
"Yes." Xiao Zhensheng stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Dr. Rong."
Linlang didn't dare to accept the gift from her father-in-law. She dodged sideways, opened the medicine box, and began to feel Xiao Yujian's pulse, observing, smelling, asking, and palpating. While he was feeling the pulse, Ah Mu was helping him. When the two brothers' eyes met, Ah Mu smiled.
Xiao Yuzhang was so happy that his brother smiled at him, and his heart was so warm. He was so focused on making eye contact with his brother that he forgot to answer Linlang's questions. It was Xiao Zhensheng who answered them for him.
Xiao Zhensheng asked the housekeeper to take out all the prescriptions that the doctor had written for Xiao Yuzhang before, "I hope it will be helpful to Doctor Rong."
After reviewing them one by one, Linlang already had a treatment plan in mind. "Taking medicine and acupuncture can make the Second Young Master's condition better, but it will take time. His condition cannot be cured, but it can be controlled. Pay attention to daily maintenance, especially during the change of seasons. Be sure to pay attention."
When Xiao Zhensheng heard that it could be cured, a smile appeared on his face, and he said excitedly, "Please allow the Divine Doctor to prescribe a prescription."
"My medicine is a little different from the previous doctor's." Linlang took out a homemade pill from the medicine box. "This is a ready-made medicine. Just take it with warm water every day."
Linlang wrote down the instructions and precautions, "Second Young Master needs acupuncture every day. I'm now four months pregnant and my body is heavy. Therefore, I have to ask the Duke to send Second Young Master to my place every day."
Doing this also gives Amu more opportunities to interact with his younger brother.
As long as his son's illness could be cured, Xiao Zhensheng naturally agreed to this small request. "Okay, then I'll follow Doctor Rong's arrangement and send Ah Jian to the doctor's house for acupuncture every day."
Xiao Zhensheng didn't realize that Linlang was pregnant. He was a rough man and didn't pay much attention. "I didn't know that Dr. Rong was pregnant. I'm really sorry to bother you with this trip."
If he had known earlier, he would have taken A Jian with him directly.
"Nothing." Linlang placed the medicine on the table. "The ingredients are written on this medicine. If you're worried, you can ask another doctor to check it."
"Of course we have to test it."
Before Xiao Zhensheng could utter a single word, the wife of Duke Dingguo came in. "My Lord, you are so desperate that you actually trust a country girl who came from nowhere."
She looked at Linlang coldly with disdain. "So many highly skilled doctors in the Imperial Hospital couldn't cure Ajian's illness. Sending him to Lingshan only saved his life. Those experienced and highly skilled doctors couldn't do anything about it. How could a young woman like her have this ability?"
She laughed sarcastically and said angrily, "Where did this liar come from? Get out of here, Madam."
