Chapter 26: Planting People



Shen Yuerong was a little stunned when she heard his words.

How could I possibly find an identical medical book to my father’s?

Fu Hengyu, Fu Hengyu, is everything replaceable for you?

Fu Hengyu looked at the person in front of him who was motionless and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Did he just say something he shouldn't have said?

The candlelight flickered, and they fell silent again.

Until there was a noise outside.

"General, something bad has happened! Aunt Du is bleeding. Please go and see her as soon as possible."

The person who came hurriedly and knelt outside was Du Wan's personal maid.

He looked at Shen Yuerong who was sitting in front of him with some embarrassment, pretending to be unable to make a choice for the moment.

"Since sister Du Wan is not feeling well, you should go and see her immediately. After all, the child comes first."

Fu Hengyu stood up, but his expression was full of worry, "I'll go and take a look first. As for your matter, I will ask your mother for you when I have time."

Fu Hengyu turned and left, his hurried steps unable to conceal his preference for Du Wan.

Shen Yuerong sat in her original position, watching the man's steps, and just laughed out loud because she found it ridiculous.

"Miss."

Qinghua really wants his young lady to be happy.

It was obvious before that Shen Yuerong had him in her heart, and now it is also obvious that she has no one else in her heart.

"Do you think Du Wan really had bleeding, or is she just trying to call him over as a trick?"

Qinghua scratched his head.

"Which one do you think it will be, Miss?"

"Isn't this an obvious answer?"

Shen Yuerong raised her head, looked at her, and then stretched out her hand.

"Help me go back and lie down. I've been sitting here for a long time and I can't sit still anymore."

"Miss, aren't you going to take a look? As the mistress of the house, if something really happens to her, I'm afraid there will be something to hold against her if you're not there."

Shen Yuerong's eyes were dim and her tone was indifferent.

"If something really happened to her, I'm afraid everyone in the mansion would know about it by now."

"Not to mention him, the old lady would be the first one to rush over, but now only he has been disturbed, so it's naturally just a trick."

Shen Yuerong disdains to use this kind of means of competing for favor among women.

Qinghua was a little confused.

"But you and your uncle finally got closer, and that person got there first."

"Which eye of yours saw me getting close to him? We were just being polite to each other."

She could see that Fu Hengyu was absent-minded when he was here.

Fu Hengyu could naturally see that she was being perfunctory.

"Just help me set up my pharmacy first, and don't worry about anything else."

Shen Yuerong thought of the teenage girl again.

"By the way, is the teenage girl who followed me to the old lady's courtyard that day still in the mansion?"

Qinghua thought for a long time before he remembered who Shen Yuerong was talking about?

"She should be here, but I haven't seen her in the past few days. Why is Miss interested in her?"

Shen Yuerong nodded, "I think she is smart and quick-witted. Ask the housekeeper where she is tomorrow. If she is interested, she can stay by your side and be your assistant."

Qinghua was frightened and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Miss, is there something wrong with Qinghua? You want someone else to take my place."

Chen Yuerong lowered her head and said to the jealous little girl in front of her, "I just want to find someone to share some of your burden so that you don't have to do too much."

This little girl actually has such thoughts.

After hearing what Shen Yuerong said, Qinghua stood up and wiped away her tears.

"Got it, miss!"

——

The man arrived the next day, and looked much thinner than in the previous few days.

"Why have you lost so much weight again?"

Shen Yuerong frowned at the size of the person in front of her.

"I caught a cold and have been ill these past few days."

The girl knelt on the ground timidly, curled herself up into a ball, and didn't even dare to look up at Shen Yuerong to answer.

Shen Yuerong looked at her and felt even more pity in her heart.

"Do you know why I want to see you?"

The little girl knelt on the spot, not daring to speak. After a long time, Shen Yuerong heard her somewhat weak voice.

"Madam, are you going to punish me for what happened that day?"

Just one sentence made her heart soften.

"Normally there aren't many people in my yard because I like quietness. But now I need help with something and I can't find anyone reliable. That day I saw you following me and seemed quite obedient, so I thought of asking you to follow me. What do you think?"

The little girl looked up in surprise when she heard that, then quickly put her head back.

After a long while, she seemed to have just woken up from a dream and asked a question.

"My slave is clumsy, my slave..."

She stuttered, and was so excited that she couldn't even speak clearly, and didn't even know how to respond?

"You can think about it carefully. If you are willing to stay by my side, I will give you five taels of your monthly salary in the future. If you don't want to, I won't make things difficult for you."

Five taels of silver.

Hearing this number, the little girl was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. She nodded anxiously.

"I am willing. I am willing."

Shen Yuerong was very satisfied, and looking at her timid appearance, she said, "I have never asked your name before, so now I should ask it too?"

The little girl shook her head. "I don't have a name, just some nicknames."

And those titles are somewhat derogatory and even unworthy of the title.

Shen Yuerong nodded, also feeling the pain of the person in front of her, "Why not... call you Peach Blossom from now on, I hope you can bloom as pink and tender as the peach blossom."
