Su Nanting walked in first and was deliberately surprised when he saw Xiao Zhensheng. "Oh, isn't this Duke Dingguo? I didn't expect to meet you here. Nice to meet you."
Duke Dingguo looked at Su Nanting speechlessly. He always felt that he was seriously ill today. He looked like a king walking on the road, and he didn't know what he was showing off.
Instead of staying at home to coax his mother and pamper his wife and children, what is this guy doing here?
Duke Dingguo thought that Song had been in poor health, and wondered if this guy came here to snatch Doctor Rong from him.
This guy had always been at odds with him and disliked him in various ways. Xiao Zhensheng couldn't understand why he was so envious and jealous of himself because he was better than him. He was better, but what could he do? He was born with a higher starting point than them.
Xiao Zhensheng narrowed his eyes slightly, stood up and returned the greeting, "Marquis Anchang, long time no see."
"Yes, it's been two months since we last met." Su Nanting walked up to Xiao Zhensheng and said sympathetically, "Duke Dingguo has lost weight and has more white hair. It hurts me to see you."
His heartache was genuine, without a trace of gloating. Su Nanting said, "I didn't expect to meet you here today. Duke Dingguo is here for the Second Young Master's matter, right?"
"Exactly." Knowing that Su Nanting had no ill intentions, Xiao Zhensheng didn't mind his smug look. "I wonder why Marquis Anchang is here?"
"It's the same as yours." Su Nanting acted like a host, inviting Xiao Zhensheng to sit down and talk. "However, I knew Divine Doctor Rong before you did. My wife's illness was treated by him, and now she's almost fully recovered. I came here specifically to thank him."
"You made the right choice to come to see Dr. Rong. Her medical skills are among the best in Jingchao." Su Nanting told Xiao Zhensheng about the case that Linlang had cured in a high-profile manner, but he thought proudly in his heart that such an outstanding daughter is your daughter-in-law, which is really a good fortune for you.
Seeing Linlang walk in with a veil, Su Nanting proudly introduced her to Xiao Zhensheng, "Duke Dingguo, this is Divine Doctor Rong."
Xiao Zhensheng looked at his proud look and didn't understand why Su Nanting was so proud, since she was not his daughter.
Linlang stepped forward and saluted, "Rong Linlang greets Duke Dingguo."
"Miraculous Doctor Rong." Xiao Zhensheng didn't dare neglect her. Whether his youngest son's illness could be cured depended on this female doctor. He knew that Miraculous Doctor Rong was young, but he didn't expect that such a young woman could be as skilled as Su Nanting said.
However, my youngest son’s illness can’t be delayed any longer, so I can only place my hopes on her.
Xiao Zhensheng said, "I apologize for disturbing you so much. Doctor, please forgive me. My child's health is deteriorating, and as a parent, I'm extremely worried. I came here without a letter."
"I've heard a little about the Second Young Master's condition these past two days, and I understand the Duke's feelings." Linlang said immediately, "Since his condition is urgent, let's not waste time and go straight to see the Second Young Master."
Xiao Zhensheng didn't expect that Divine Doctor Rong would be so easy to invite. His expression immediately relaxed a little, and he said excitedly, "The carriage is outside. Divine Doctor Rong, please come in."
"Please, Duke."
Linlang looked at Su Nanting, who stood up. "Logically speaking, the Second Young Master is a junior, and as an elder, I should care about him. Let's go together."
Su Nanting deliberately asked Xiao Zhensheng, "Duke Dingguo wouldn't be unwelcome, right?"
He was going to his son-in-law's house.
Xiao Zhensheng glanced at Su Nanting and felt that he was really abnormal today. Their two families had never had any contact with each other, and it was really unexpected that they suddenly wanted to go together.
It was hard for Xiao Zhensheng to refuse someone who cared about his child. "Mr. Anchang is so thoughtful. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." After saying that, Su Nanting walked out side by side with him.
In the courtyard, Ah Mu, also wearing a veil, stood beside Lin Lang, carrying a medicine box. He looked at Duke Dingguo. Seeing him so closely, his father looked so much older. All these years, he'd worried about him, concerned about him, and had to guard the border and help the crown prince. The pressure on him was too great.
Amu felt sorry for his father and was worried about him and his brother.
Xiao Zhensheng, a military commander, was very perceptive and noticed Ah Mu's gaze. He followed it and met a pair of familiar eyes. Those eyes looked so much like his jade seal that he couldn't help but stare at Ah Mu.
Su Nanting noticed and touched Xiao Zhensheng's arm, "Duke Dingguo, why are you always staring at the husband of Dr. Rong?"
"Doctor Rong's husband?" Xiao Zhensheng came back to his senses. "Sorry, I'm so abrupt."
Ah Mu stepped forward and bowed, "I, Xiao Yushu, greet the Duke of Dingguo and the Marquis of Anchang."
"What a coincidence, your name is Xiao Yushu." Xiao Zhensheng felt a sense of familiarity in his heart. He looked at Amu carefully and found that he was the same height as him. When he raised his hand, the scar under his sleeve was revealed.
Amu pulled his sleeves and said, "This is a scar left by the fire."
"It's okay. A few scars are nothing for a man." Xiao Zhensheng couldn't help but comfort him. "I've fought in countless battlefields. Every scar on my body is a medal of victory."
"The Duke guards the border and protects the people. He is a great hero and I admire him." Amu has admired his father since he was a child. In his heart, his father is a brave and warlike hero.
Xiao Zhensheng sighed. What a great hero he is, he can't even protect his own son.
Nodding, Xiao Zhensheng and Su Nanting left the yard together.
Amu looked at his father's somewhat sad back and couldn't help but tear up.
Linlang came over, took his hand, clasped his palm, silently comforted him, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Xiao Zhensheng asked Linlang and Amu to take the carriage, while he rode his subordinate's carriage and walked side by side with Su Nanting. Along the way, Su Nanting talked about Amu's difficulties and clearly told him that Amu was a son-in-law who married into the family, and emphasized it once more.
"The Rong family is kind, affectionate and righteous. It's a blessing for that young master to marry into the Rong family." Xiao Zhensheng sympathized with Amu's experience and was glad that he had met the Rong family. "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."
"Yes, those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future." Su Nanting glanced at Xiao Zhensheng, wondering how he would react when he knew that Amu was his son.
Xiao Zhensheng felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him, "Does Marquis Anchang have any opinion about me?"
"No, why would you think so? You and I have served in the same court for many years and have never had any conflicts. How could you have any objections?" Su Nanting said, "It's a pity that you don't have a daughter. If you did, I would like to become your daughter-in-law."
The four sons of the Su family are still bachelors at such an old age. Xiao Zhensheng guessed that the couple might be anxious. "It's a pity. There are no daughters in the mansion, and they don't know anyone. They can't help Anchang Hou."
"We are not in a hurry as our children's marriage depends on fate." Su Nanting thought to himself, I am reminding you, father-in-law.
Xiao Zhensheng understood that "it's never too late to marry after you've accomplished something."
