Once something takes root in your heart, it's only a matter of time before it sprouts.
After thinking it through, Wen Zhiyun looked at her fifth brother with a smile on her face, "Changyan, I'm fine now."
"It's good that you're alright." Chang Yan returned the smile.
The two brothers slept in the same room. They were close in age and were both cared for by their older brothers, who in turn cared for their younger sister.
They always understand each other better.
"Have you packed everything?" Jiang Sheng called out from the courtyard gate.
Wen Zhiyun immediately folded the package, tied it into a small knot that was easy to carry, and took Chang Yan's hand to walk outside.
When they arrived at the courtyard, they found that Wang Fufeng was also there.
Wen Zhiyun's medical skills are inferior to those of Doctor Wu. Even when it comes to nourishing the body, Doctor Wu's prescriptions are better and more suitable for him.
According to Dr. Wu's calculations, Wang Fufeng should stay in Xieyang County for at least another six months to try to make up for the deficiencies he suffered during his pregnancy. Why does he seem to be leaving?
But he didn't ask.
Because there was already someone in the family who could speak, she had asked before he could, "Is Brother Fufeng coming back to the prefectural city with us?"
Wang Fufeng's body was too weak. Even after being nursed by Doctor Wu's skillful hands for two months, he was still pale, with only a slight amount of blood in his lips.
He looked at Xiao Jiang Sheng, smiled slightly, and had a unique kind of frail beauty. "Go back. Actually, you should have gone back a long time ago."
They were simply too captivated by the tranquility and peace of Xiyang County, so they pretended not to know.
"Ah." Xiao Jiangsheng covered her face in surprise, "I wonder what kind of trouble the Wang family has caused in the past two months."
The three families are vying for power, a life-or-death struggle.
War rages, and killings occur without bloodshed.
Wang Fufeng raised the corners of his mouth, glanced at Xu Mo who was sitting upright, and said in a light tone, "It's just a lose-lose situation."
Initially, it was a struggle between the second and third wives. One was an incompetent legitimate son, and the other was a promising son from a concubine. It was a stalemate.
Unfortunately, Wang Mingyu was utterly incompetent. He first had someone set up a gambling game and lost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
The second master of the Wang family tried desperately to plug the deficit, but he couldn't stop it no matter what he did, and had no choice but to use the funds from public use.
This is a blatant flaw.
The third wife held on tightly, joining forces with the fourth wife to force the second wife to relinquish power.
This is not the end of the story.
The third branch's illegitimate son was so promising that he passed the prefectural examination in April and won the title of Tongsheng (a successful candidate in the imperial examinations), making the third branch's position even more secure.
Wang Fufeng's father, the third master of the Wang family, was so pleased with himself that he took his mistress as a concubine, and his son from that mistress became an illegitimate son.
It seems that the third wife's position is secure.
But the eldest son's family didn't sit idly by. While the third son's family was basking in their triumph, the eldest daughter of the Wang family got engaged to Fang Yuan, the eldest son of the Fang family.
With the Fang family protecting them, the eldest branch of the family won't fall. In addition, the Sun family has already eased tensions, so neither branch has an absolute advantage.
I heard that recently, the letters between the eldest daughter of the Wang family and her close friend were exposed, revealing that the person she was in love with was not her fiancé, which ruined her reputation.
Immediately afterwards, the city was in an uproar over the unknown origins of Wang Haoran, the third son of a concubine, who was likely not of the Wang family lineage.
Both houses are showing signs of decline, but neither is willing to back down.
This is not what Wang Fufeng wanted to see.
So, half a month ago, he had someone carry out a treacherous scheme.
Counting the days, it's about time to enjoy the show and also to reap the rewards.
"Then, Brother Fufeng, are you not going to take care of your health?" After listening to this long and complicated explanation, Xiao Jiang Sheng's eyes were practically swirling with anxiety, but she didn't forget to ask the crucial question.
Wang Fufeng's expression froze.
Compared to his physical condition, the lively atmosphere at the Wang family's home was clearly the most important thing.
But he had once promised to live well, and now he couldn't easily go back on his word; he could only frown and ponder.
Just then, Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan walked over hand in hand.
Wang Fufeng's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Wen Xiaosi with a smile, "I believe in Dr. Wen's medical skills."
Wen Zhiyun couldn't believe it. "I'm far inferior to Doctor Wu. How could this be... I'm no good."
“No, you can do it.” Wang Fufeng said seriously, “You and Dr. Wu are both excellent. What Dr. Wu can do, you can do too.”
The humble, though lacking in heartfelt words, lead extraordinary lives.
When Wen Zhiyun received affirmation from an outsider for the first time, she felt a pang of bittersweetness, but also gradually gained courage and confidence.
"In that case, let's set off!"
As Jiang Sheng spoke happily in her childlike words, several carriages departed in a grand procession.
They arrived with trepidation, and left with great ambition.
As they passed through the city gate of Xieyang County, Bian Wenxuan stood there to see them off, just as he had when they were welcoming them.
"Master Xu, you mustn't forget me in the future," he shouted, waving his hand vigorously.
Xu Mo smiled helplessly, looking down.
Wen Zhiyun looked on with envy, and was about to lower the carriage curtain when she inadvertently noticed what appeared to be Doctor Wu's figure in the crowd.
But upon closer inspection, it was gone again.
at the same time.
The Wang family of Fucheng.
Lately, Wang Yuyao felt that something was wrong with her mother. Her whereabouts were strange, she had a blush on her face, and she spoke much more gently than usual.
Especially at night, if you go to see her, you will definitely be chased away.
Wang Yuyao is not young anymore; she already has a fiancé, and she will be thirteen years old after the New Year.
In a dynasty where fifteen-year-olds could marry and have children, she was practically a grown woman.
She could sense that her mother was hiding a secret from her, a very big secret that would damage their mother-daughter relationship.
Normally, Wang Yuyao wouldn't choose to search for her mother, wanting to preserve all her dignity.
But not now. The eldest and third branches of the Wang family are vying for power and have become so ruthless that they don't even care about the reputation of the younger generation. If such a big flaw is left, they will only make a miserable exit like the second branch.
