Chapter 27 The whole family died tragically, only the second brother survived
He made up another person, saying that Chen Mu spent two thousand silvers to buy it, but the other party never revealed his identity. He was afraid that the prescription was unusual, so he rushed to the Imperial Hospital to ask Dr. Sun for help.
Don’t know who the other person is?
Imperial Physician Sun was a little disappointed.
Anyone who can prescribe this kind of medicine can be called a miracle doctor, but unfortunately, I don’t know who he is.
After a second thought, he smiled and said to Shen Yuanhong, "I'm willing to pay five thousand taels for this prescription. It's useless for you to keep it, Duke. Why don't you sell it to me?"
Shen Yuanhong shook his head without hesitation.
“Not for sale.”
Imperial Physician Sun was a little disappointed, but fearing the Duke's reputation, he didn't dare to snatch it.
However, the next sentence made Imperial Physician Sun's eyes light up.
"Your Excellency, you can give this prescription to Dr. Sun, but I would like to ask Dr. Sun for a favor."

On the other hand, the secret guards who had been monitoring Duke Shen's Mansion also returned to Prince Jin's Mansion.
"Not long after Master Shen Qi and Master Shen Da returned, Duke Shen went to see Doctor Sun, and there was nothing unusual with the border garrisons."
Xiao Yelin tapped the back of the chair with his fingertips, his eyes were deep, and the true emotions in those eyes were hard to fathom.
Could it be that he is overthinking it?
Were the people from the Duke's Mansion really just targeting Su Haitang that night?
Instead of him?
Xiao Yelin did not dispel his doubts because of this.
What happened that day was just too coincidental.
"Keep watching."
"yes."

The next day.
Looking at Chen Mu who had come early to play with the little kid, Mrs. Chen remembered that there was something important she had not told him yet.
"Mu'er, there's something I didn't have time to tell you last night."
"Mom, go ahead." Chen Mu nodded slightly.
The little kid nestled in Shen Mu's arms, sucking his fingers and looking at the two of them with a smile.
She had already guessed what her mother was going to say to her eldest brother.
"A few days ago, the Su family's daughter's reputation was ruined due to some things. Your father and I thought about it and felt that this marriage might not be suitable, so we asked your father to come and cancel the engagement."
Mrs. Shen told her some of the ins and outs, but as for some of Shen Yuanhong's little tricks, they were definitely concealed.
"I originally wanted to wait until you came back to discuss this matter, but I was afraid of causing trouble, so I didn't get your consent. Will you blame me?"
Chen Mu shook his head. "How could I blame my mother? When it comes to marriage, I will obey my father and mother."
Chen Wan babbled and clapped her hands.
[He's handsome and filial, ah, big brother is so good. ]
Madam Shen’s mouth twitched slightly.
Praising a grown man for being well behaved?
Chen Mu also smiled helplessly.
He didn't like Su Haitang, and he didn't have anyone he liked in his heart, so it didn't matter to him who he married.
It has nothing to do with being good, right?
He looked down and saw Xiaowan'er in his arms with her big black eyes looking at him.
Those clear eyes made his heart melt.
Chen Wan stretched out her little hand and grasped Chen Mu's thumb, babbling to comfort him.
"It's a good thing that Big Brother broke off the engagement. Su Haitang is not your destined partner. If you hadn't broken off the engagement, you would have been tortured miserably."
[Big brother has both good looks and abilities. When I grow up, I will definitely find a girl for you who is compatible with you.]
[Speaking of which, Su Huanyan, the concubine of the Su family, has had a crush on Big Brother for a long time.]
[In the book, Su Haitang framed you and Mr. Shen, making you infamous. All the women in Kyoto shunned you. Only Su Huanyan argued with the other noble ladies to protect your reputation.]
[Later, except for the second brother, the entire Shen family died tragically. Their bodies were thrown into the mountains and left to be devoured by wild dogs. It was Su Huanyan who secretly helped you collect the bodies. She originally wanted to commit suicide to die with you, but was eventually captured by Su Taiwei and died tragically at home.]
[Su Huanyan's heart and eyes are truly filled with Big Brother.]
The mother and son were both shocked and couldn't recover for a long time.
Chen Mu frowned.
I was filled with disbelief.
Whether it was Daddy or Uncle Seventh, or him and his second brother, they all had the ability to protect their families, so how could they all die tragically?
Besides, there is also the King of Jin?
He has always loved Qingyi.
How could he watch the Shen family perish without protecting her? How could he watch her die tragically?
Finally, I thought of Su Huanyan.
This girl...
Madam Shen had already known about the Shen family's solution, and compared to Shen Mu, she was much calmer, but when she heard Su Huanyan's name, Madam Su secretly remembered it.
Those who are good to her family will be repaid with double kindness.

After coming out of Madam Shen's room, Shen Mu did not go back, but sat in the pavilion in a daze.
When Shen Qingyi passed by the pavilion, she saw a somewhat lonely figure sitting there.
She took a few steps forward and waved in front of Shen Mu, signaling him to come back to his senses.
"Brother?" Shen Qingyi half-bent over, tilting her head to look at him: "Brother, why are you so worried?"
Chen Mu came back to his senses and looked at her hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Shen Qingyi raised her eyebrows. She glanced back and saw that it was Shen's mother's courtyard. It seemed that her eldest brother had just come out of his mother's room.
She suddenly understood.
"Brother." Shen Qingyi straightened up and looked at him with a smile: "Mother has already told you that the engagement is off? Brother, you are so distraught, could it be that you are reluctant to let go?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have any regrets."
Chen Mu let out a long sigh and pinched the corners of his eyes, which were a little sore.
"That's good."
Shen Qingyi's heart, which had been hanging in the air a moment ago, fell back to its original place.
I was afraid that my elder brother would feel reluctant at all.
"So you are doing this because of my little sister?"
Shen Qingyi continued.
Chen Mu raised his eyelids and looked at her, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Seeing his expression, Shen Qingyi lowered her voice: "No matter what you heard, brother, just remember that my voice has helped our Shen family overcome several crises."
"Now, Mom and Dad, Shen Yaoxing and I all trust my little sister's feelings."
Hearing this, Chen Mu's heart sank completely.
It doesn’t matter if he died tragically, but why did the other people in the Shen family also die tragically?
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Qingyi continued: "Don't worry, big brother, the things that my younger sister said haven't happened yet. Mother and my younger sister are together. If anything happens, she will tell Dad in time and make arrangements in advance to resolve the crisis."
Chen Mu said “hmm”.
**
During this period, Chen Wan had a lot of stuff.
They were all bought by Shen Yaoxing and Shen Qingyi.
Just when Mrs. Shen was about to put away the things on the bed, Xiao Wan'er refused to do it.
"Xiao Wan'er, these are the gold hairpin and gold earrings Qingyi gave you. You're still young, so mother will keep them for you first."
When Chen Wan saw that her treasure was about to be put away, she immediately became anxious, screaming and trying to lie down to get it.
Mrs. Shen almost laughed out tears, what a little money-grubber, and quickly stuffed the rattle into her hand.
"Can mother still take these things from you? Mother is afraid that they will poke you, so mother keeps them for you. They are all yours."
【Mother really understands me.】
Chen Wan's eyes lit up when she saw the gold. "Second brother and third sister are so generous. Please give me more. I like it very much."
After packing up those things, Mrs. Shen went to see what clothes Xiao Wan'er would wear for her full moon. Shen Wan was lying on the couch playing with a rattle.
At this time, Chen Yaoxing appeared.
