Chapter 112
Song Sanlang left Yun County with the goods and went to the county seat.
When Fu Wei talked about his ex-fiancée with Yu Ying, Yu Ying thought of Huo Minzhi who forced a vicious and ugly woman on Fu Wei as his wife because the girl refused his fictitious engagement.
After careful consideration, Yu Ying resigned from her position as a doctor in the clinic.
Although Director Ji was only the director of a small clinic and had no real power, even if he had the protection of the county magistrate, he could not withstand the attacks of the Huo family.
Yu Ying understood that the people should not fight against the officials.
Due to changes in the situation afterwards, she could not stay in Ji's Medical Clinic as a doctor for long, so she simply left early. Director Ji kept trying to keep her, but Yu Ying was determined to leave. However, she also said that she would first rent a shop in Yu County and open a small clinic to treat women and children, and that Miss Ji could continue to study medicine with her.
Perhaps because he saw that she was determined to leave, Director Ji agreed, and the two girls she had adopted naturally had to follow her.
But things haven't settled down yet, so Yu Ying asked them to go to Fu's house every day so that she could give them lessons.
During the lecture, Fu Ning would listen obediently, and sometimes would nod as if she understood, not quite. Yu Ying was afraid of mistaking the little girl for someone with extraordinary talent, so she called on her to answer a question. As a result, the little girl looked at her eagerly and said she didn't know, but when she saw her brother nod, she nodded too.
…
Well, the little girl is only six years old after all. It’s good enough that she can listen to the class quietly. It still needs to be cultivated slowly.
Even when my sister-in-law has free time, she will go out to listen and learn something.
Yu Ying thought it wouldn't hurt to learn more, so she called her in to study together.
Since Yu Ying had resigned from her position as a doctor, in addition to teaching medical skills, she would also deliver lunch to Fu Wei in her spare time at noon, so that he wouldn't have to run back and forth in a sedan chair without even having time to rest.
Yu Ying delivered food in a wooden box at noon. Before she arrived at the yamen, she saw an ordinary green-roofed carriage parked outside the yamen from a distance.
Although it is ordinary, it looks like a very new carriage and is not cheap.
You have to know that carriages are expensive, and horses are even more valuable. Even the county magistrate's carriage is quite old.
There were also several tall men in cloth clothes around the carriage, who were obviously followers. The carriage looked ordinary, but the people inside must be extraordinary.
Yu Ying's eyes fell on the carriage. Because of the curtain, she couldn't see who was sitting inside.
She withdrew her gaze, walked to the yamen gate, and handed the food box to the yamen runner on duty. When she was about to leave, the yamen runner on duty called out, "Madam Yu, please stay."
The yamen runner said, "The eldest lady knew that Madam Yu would bring food to Mr. Fu, so she specifically instructed that if Madam Yu came, she should come over and have a seat."
Yu Ying followed the yamen runner into the yamen, but since it was lunch time, she didn't want to disturb them, so she asked the yamen runner to take her to Fu Wei's place first, and then she would go to visit the magistrate's wife after she finished lunch.
It was already noon, and everyone in the yamen, except the runners on duty, had gone out to look for food. Only Fu Wei was still counting accounts in the accounting office.
The accounting office was not closed, and Yu Ying saw from afar Fu Wei sitting at the table, fiddling with an abacus.
this……
Is there no accountant in the yamen? Why does Fu Wei have to do this job?
Perhaps because of the confusion on her face, the yamen runner lowered his voice and said, "The previous accountant secretly embezzled a lot of money and was directly dismissed by the adults. We haven't found a suitable person yet. The clerk Luo has escorted the medicinal herbs away, and the other clerk is busy with other things. Mr. Qian has to deal with the trial in the front, so this job falls to Mr. Fu."
Yu Ying and the yamen runner thanked him and then walked towards the accounting office.
Even though Fu Wei was fully busy now, she still raised her head sharply when she walked to the door. When she saw that it was her, her indifferent eyes suddenly became gentle.
Yu Ying lifted the food box in her hand and smiled, "I brought you food. Are you done with your work?"
Fu Wei smiled, then put down his pen and said, "Even if you're not done, you still have to eat."
He stood up, walked out of the warehouse, locked it, and walked into the pavilion with her.
Yu Ying took out the still warm food from the food box, which included one vegetarian dish, one meat dish, and a bowl of soup in a bamboo slip.
Fu Wei asked, "Have you eaten?"
Yu Yingying: "I've eaten at home, you can have it."
As Fu Wei was leisurely eating, Yu Ying suddenly remembered the carriage outside the government office and asked, "Is there a distinguished guest coming to the government office?"
Fu Wei paused and looked up at her: "What do you mean?"
Yu Ying then said, "When I came in just now, a carriage with eight people accompanying it stopped outside the government office. It looked like it was from a prominent family."
Fu Wei pondered for a moment, then said, "I haven't heard of any distinguished guests coming. The magistrate immediately returned to the backyard to eat."
Yu Ying said, "Just now the yamen runner said that the county magistrate's wife wanted to invite me over for a chat."
If she was to be introduced to a distinguished guest, he would certainly send someone to tell her in advance so that she could be prepared, and he would never be allowed to stay rashly.
The two seemed to have thought of something and suddenly looked at each other.
At this moment, the yamen runner who had originally gone back to his post returned and bowed to Fu Wei, saying, "Mr. Fu, someone outside is looking for you. They say it's Rong."
Sure enough, it was just as they thought.
I guess he wanted to wait for Fu Wei to come out, but he never expected that Fu Wei didn't come out.
Fu Wei was silent for a moment, then looked at Yu Ying, thinking of what she had said a few days ago. He then said to the yamen runner, "Please tell the guest to wait in the teahouse up ahead. I'll be there after I finish my meal. Please let me know that I'll be bringing my wife with me."
The bailiff responded and went to pass on the message.
After the bailiff left, Yu Ying asked, "Are you taking me with you?"
Fu Wei nodded: "The best way to make things clear with her is to let her see you. Otherwise, if I go to see her, it will give her hope, right?"
What Fu Wei said sounds quite reasonable.
*
It was a moment later when Fu Wei finished his lunch.
He still had two quarters of an hour to rest, which was enough time for him to meet someone.
Yu Ying pushed him out of the yamen, and half a minute later they arrived at a tea shop near the yamen.
It was noon, and the teahouse was full of people. There were no private rooms at this time, but at this moment a man came over and bowed, "Mr. Fu?"
This man should be Miss Rong's follower.
Fu Wei nodded.
The attendant said, "My master is already waiting in the private room."
Yu Ying remembered that Fu Wei's ex-fiancée's father was the richest man in Wuling County, so a private room was naturally not a problem.
The attendant led them to the private room at the back of the teahouse and knocked on the door: "Master, someone is here."
After a while, the door of the private room was opened by a maid from the inside.
The maid first looked at Fu Wei sitting on the plain carriage in surprise, and then looked at Yu Ying.
His expression was unclear, but he still said, "Mr. Huo... Mr. Fu, the girl is inside."
Yu Ying retreated Fu Wei into the private room. When she looked up, she saw a beautiful young woman wearing luxurious clothes looking at them.
When Miss Rong saw Fu Wei sitting on the plain carriage, her face turned pale and her eyes turned red.
At that moment, Yu Ying knew that this girl really liked Fu Wei.
The maid closed the door.
Fu Wei nodded slightly towards Rong Shu: "Miss Rong."
Obviously polite and unfamiliar.
Miss Rong came back to her senses, looked away and looked at Yu Ying.
When she came here, she asked about his wife. She had heard that she was a vicious person before, but after arriving in Yu County, she heard about her deeds and for a moment, she had no idea what kind of person she was.
She withdrew her gaze and looked back at Fu Wei, her voice choked with sobs: "It's been a year since we last met. Are you okay?"
After asking this question, I looked at his legs and knew that he was not doing well.
Fu Wei's expression was calm: "It wasn't good at first, but thanks to Liu Niang's care, I got through that period."
After saying this, he slightly turned sideways and took the hand that was on the sedan chair into his own.
"My wife, Liu Niang."
Rong Shu looked at the woman again and smiled apologetically, "I heard about Madam Yu's affairs when I came here. I admire her very much. Please forgive me for coming here rashly."
This sounds sensible.
Yu Ying secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not one of those arrogant, domineering and unreasonable rich girls in novels.
Yu Ying didn't know what to say, so she smiled faintly: "I heard Erlang talk about Miss Rong."
Rong Shu was dazed for a moment when she heard this.
Since they can talk about this matter openly, it is obvious that the couple have a heart-to-heart talk.
Rong Shu looked at Fu Wei with a gloomy gaze.
"I'll be back soon, so could I have a few words with you?"
After saying that, she looked at Yu Ying again and said, "Madam Yu, would you mind if I could have a few words with your husband alone?"
It is logically inappropriate for a single man and a single woman to live under the same roof.
Yu Ying was about to say something, but Fu Wei seemed to know what she wanted to ask. He held Yu Ying's hand tightly, giving her a sense of security.
Fu Wei said bluntly, "I know what you want to say. My legs were indeed broken by Huo Minzhi's men. It has nothing to do with Miss Rong. As for my marriage to my wife, although it was indeed forced at the beginning, it was a coincidence that I ended up with such a wonderful wife."
After saying that, Fu Wei looked at her and smiled, "I am attracted to my wife. I love her and respect her. It has nothing to do with her appearance or status. Being able to marry her is probably the luckiest thing in my life."
Although Yu Ying was thick-skinned, she couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he suddenly confessed to her in front of outsiders.
She coughed twice and looked away.
Rong Shu smiled, but it was a little forced. After all, he was the young man she had loved, so she couldn't help feeling jealous.
"It's good that you found a good wife." His voice was a little hoarse.
Fu Wei looked at her and said truthfully, "Miss Rong, I came to this appointment just to tell you that my marriage with my wife is a good one, so don't feel guilty and don't come to Yu County again in the future."
Rong Shu forced a smile and apologized to Zheng Cheng again: "I'm sorry for coming here so hastily. I made you laugh."
She always knew that there was no possibility for the two of them.
She liked him, so she knew his character well. Since he was married, he would never betray his wife, not to mention that his wife had done a lot of good things for the Fu family.
Before she met him, she only thought of responsibility and gratitude. After all, how could anyone really fall in love with a woman with an ugly appearance?
But when she saw the couple for the first time, she knew that she was wrong, it really was true.
She also knew that if she forced him, the eldest son of the Huo family and her father would definitely come forward to deal with Fu Wei. Even if he refused, they would still torture Fu Wei.
She came to Lingnan secretly just to see him for the last time so that she could put an end to her regrets.
Fu Wei said: "Now that the matter has been made clear, I will take my leave from my lady."
Rong Shu smiled with red eyes and said, "No need to see me off."
It seemed like I spent more than half a month just for this quick meeting.
Fu Wei nodded and said nothing more.
Before pushing Fu Wei away, Yu Ying said to the girl who had come all the way to see Fu Wei, "Miss Rong, take care."
Rong Shu looked at her and smiled: "Mr. Fu, Madam Yu, take care of yourself too."
After watching them leave, the maid beside Rong Shu said, "Miss, now that you have met, it is time to go back."
Rong Shu's smile faded, her face expression glum. "Send someone to deliver the herbs we brought from the county seat to the Fu family. Send them after I leave, otherwise they won't accept them."
Although they would never meet again and their fate was over, she also hoped that those herbs could cure his legs.
