Zhen Wanwan led a group of henchmen to the neighbor's place in a flurry of activity.
Wang was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
The most important thing right now is to cure her son Huai'er's illness.
"Dr. Zhen, please take a look! Ever since Huai'er took your medicine, his complexion has started to improve... I saw it clearly, just a stick of incense burned out, his hand twitched..."
Zhen Wanwan carefully examined Zhang Qinghuai; his complexion was indeed much better than before.
It seems the medicine is still effective, but she used too little this time.
Just to be on the safe side, Zhen Wanwan decided to give Zhang Qinghuai only one or two drops of medicine each day.
She used it in conjunction with the tonic prescription that Xiao Liu gave her.
"Young Master Zhang has improved. Madam Zhang, please remember what I just told you and don't let your guard down. At this rate, he will wake up in a few days."
Wang nodded repeatedly with delight, assuring her, "Don't worry, Dr. Zhen, I will personally oversee their work!"
She would give up anything for her son.
Yuan Huizhou looked at the small body lying motionless on the bed, and images of the two of them playing and fighting as children flashed through his mind.
I didn't expect the other person to have become so thin...
While taking good care of her son, Wang also did not neglect the others.
She looked around and picked out the nicest things to say.
When she finally saw Yuan Huizhou's face clearly, her heart pounded so hard it felt like it was about to jump out and hurt her.
Who is this?
Yuan Huizhou's heart skipped a beat, thinking to himself that he was doomed and had been recognized after all.
He had already prepared a draft in his mind, planning how to explain himself in a way that wouldn't arouse suspicion.
Wang breathed a long sigh of relief, clutching her chest as she looked at Zhen Wanwan.
“Dr. Zhen, your child looks remarkably like a benefactor I once knew!”
"If I didn't know him, I would have thought your child was that important person at first glance!"
Zhen Wanwan was delighted. Yuan Huizhou looked very refined and clean-cut when he first arrived.
Compared to the little mud monkey in front of him, they look like two different people.
Yuan Huizhou narrowed his eyes, took a long breath, and then put it down heavily.
This huge weight has finally been lifted. Since Wang doesn't recognize him, then the rest of the people definitely don't recognize him either.
Yuan Huizhou no longer tried to avoid people and walked openly to Zhang Qinghuai's bedside.
"Wake up! My older brother and I learned martial arts. When you wake up, shall we play ball together?"
Xiao Yizhi chimed in from the side, "That's right! When you wake up, I'm willing to give you an extra bowl of rice."
Everyone present was amused by what the children said.
Even Wang, who was immersed in mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, smiled gently and brightly upon hearing this.
This means that her Huai'er will definitely get better.
Zhen Wanwan's eyes flickered, and she walked to Wang's side, asking doubtfully, "Madam Zhang, there's something I think I should confirm with you."
Wang nodded, signaling her to continue.
"Young Master Zhang's illness is partly due to external harm and partly due to psychological factors."
“I’ve observed that Young Master Zhang’s health is very good. He should have woken up sooner, but I don’t know why he hasn’t opened his eyes yet.”
"I wonder if he has some kind of mental illness that makes him unwilling to face it, which is why he doesn't want to wake up."
Wang's face turned pale and then green as she listened, and she couldn't help but recall the scene when Zhang Qinghuai died.
At that time, they were ambushed by the Northern Hu people. Her husband was stabbed to death while protecting their family of three.
Zhang Qinghuai, as her and her husband's only son, was cherished like the apple of their eye.
Coincidentally, on that day, Zhang Qinghuai insisted on riding a horse with his father. When danger struck, his father shielded Zhang Qinghuai tightly beneath him.
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Lord Zhang seized an opportunity to throw Zhang Qinghuai out of the encirclement.
Unexpectedly, someone saw them and followed Zhang Qinghuai closely.
What happened after that is unknown to them.
All that was known was that when they found Zhang Qinghuai, he was already lying unconscious on the bed, covered in wounds.
After hearing the origin of the matter, Zhen Wanwan frowned slightly.
It seems something happened to this child, otherwise why would his will to survive be so low?
After Wang finished speaking, she realized that what she said didn't seem to be of any help to Zhen Wanwan.
"Dr. Zhen, is Huai'er's illness difficult to cure?"
Wang looked at Zhen Wanwan nervously, now that only Zhang Qinghuai remained as a male member of the Zhang family.
If something really happens to him, the Zhang family line will be severed.
Zhen Wanwan looked much more relaxed. She had a cheat code; if the cure-all medicine couldn't cure Zhang Qinghuai, she could spend money to buy other medicines.
They gave her such precious ginseng, she was determined to save their only surviving offspring.
"Don't worry, Madam Zhang. As long as Young Master Zhang takes good care of himself, he will definitely recover to his previous condition."
Everyone present was overjoyed; what Zhen Wanwan said was good news for them.
The good news quickly reached Madam Zhang's ears.
Her cloudy eyes gradually brightened.
"Heaven has spared the Zhang family. Ancestors above, please bless your grandson so he may recover..."
The room was quiet, with only the sound of Old Madam Zhang chanting prayers.
She was cured by Zhen Wanwan and knew her abilities very well.
Since she said Zhang Qinghuai could be cured, then he definitely could be cured.
As for when it can be cured, that's just a matter of time.
Zhen Wanwan left the medicine for Zhang Qinghuai for Wang Shi, and then prepared to take the child back.
Zhang Congrong slowly walked over, carrying fresh pastries.
"Madam Zhen! I've made some pastries for the young masters. Why don't you eat them before you leave?"
Madam Wang chimed in, "Yes, Miss Zhen! It's still early, there's no need to rush back. Why not try some of the pastries my Rong'er made?"
"My girl may not be good at much else, but she makes these dishes exceptionally well!"
Zhen Wanwan looked at the pastries on the plate. They were indeed very exquisite, like works of art.
Because they were fresh out of the oven, the aroma was very strong, and she could still smell the fragrance of the pastries from a distance.
She glanced at the children, nodded, and said, "Then I'll trouble you. Thank you for your hard work, Miss Zhang."
Zhang Congrong gently shook her head, looking at Zhen Wanwan with eyes full of gratitude.
"We should be the ones troubling you! My brother's illness has been a constant worry for us. We've consulted countless doctors, and my grandmother and mother have been crying all night..."
As Zhang Congrong recalled the darkness of that time, her nose tingled and her eyes gradually welled up with tears.
She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said with relief, "Now we've finally found the right person. With you here, I believe my brother will recover well."
Zhen Wanwan sighed; the Zhang family was truly pitiful.
The whole family came out to seek refuge, but unexpectedly, they were separated forever by death.
She finally understood that the Zhang family was now full of widows.
The Zhang family has three branches, the eldest being Wang Shi and Lord Zhang.
Now that Lord Zhang has been stabbed to death, only Wang is left with her two children.
The second wife and her husband were both murdered, leaving behind only an eight-year-old girl.
Currently, he is being raised by Mrs. Zhang.
As for the third wife, they fared even worse; the two had only been married for six months when they both passed away.
She left behind no children, only a maidservant to serve her.
Zhen Wanwan felt heartbroken just thinking about it. A perfectly good family, and now some are dead and some are injured.
It is said that the girl left behind by the second wife has developed serious psychological problems.
Now he locks himself in his room all day and doesn't even want to come out to eat.
If we're even slightly normal, then it's just like the Wang family, who are known for their foolish luck.
Aside from some minor abrasions, she had no other problems.
Sometimes Zhen Wanwan even wondered if Wang Shi had some kind of cheat code, since everyone else was so badly injured, but she was completely unharmed.
As for Zhang Congrong, Zhen Wanwan could clearly sense that she had some depression.
Although she appeared gentle and considerate during the day, the sadness in her eyes was impossible to hide.
She has faint dark circles under her eyes, which clearly indicates that she often stays up late at night.
Zhen Wanwan suddenly remembered Madam Fang, who was far away in Leling Prefecture.
When I first met her, she was radiant, and it was clear that she had a happy and fulfilling family life.
Now that her family has suffered such a great calamity, it's hard to know how she will alleviate this pain.
After thinking about it, Zhen Wanwan decided to write her a letter when she got home that night.
It must be said that Zhang Congrong is not only beautiful, but also makes delicious pastries.
It was in no way inferior to the pastry chefs of later generations.
If Zhang Congrong were alive today, she could definitely become an excellent pastry chef, a top-notch one at that, if she wanted to.
A plate of pastries was devoured in no time.
Sweetie held one in her left hand and another in her right, eating with great relish.
Zhang Congrong was delighted and wanted to cook them an extra meal immediately.
Zhen Wanwan hurriedly waved her hand in refusal: "The child is still young, eating too much will easily cause indigestion."
Zhang Congrong thought about it and agreed, so she assured the younger ones.
I'll cook for them often from now on.
Just before leaving, Yuan Huizhou pursed his lips, looking at Zhang Congrong with a hesitant expression.
Zhang Congrong touched her face and asked in confusion, "Little brother, is there something on my face?"
Yuan Huizhou shook his head, then followed Zhen Wanwan without saying a word, preparing to go back with them.
Zhang Congrong watched the group leave with a puzzled expression.
Yuan Huizhou turned his head again to look at Zhang Congrong's figure, and a strange person came to mind.
He saw that person by chance.
Since he didn't see Zhang Congrong in danger, Yuan Huizhou, adhering to the principle that it's better to avoid trouble, chose to ignore it.
After returning to her room, Zhen Wanwan immediately wrote a letter to Madam Fang, and also sent one to Old Lady Li and others in the family.
She had previously said she would only come for a month, but that time has already passed.
I imagine Old Mrs. Li is going to have a lot on her mind again.
"Is Madam homesick?"
Zhu Yuan wrapped his arms around Zhen Wanwan's waist from behind and rested his head on the top of her head.
Zhen Wanwan squirmed uncomfortably, but seeing that she couldn't shake him off, she made futile struggles.
This person is becoming increasingly childish; I wonder where that cold and aloof person from before went.
Actually, Zhen Wanwan was just complaining on the surface, but she was secretly delighted!
"Husband! Why are you back so early today?"
Zhen Wanwan was genuinely curious, as Zhu Yuan hadn't returned early these past few days.
Zhu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said with displeasure, "I missed my wife, so I came back early."
"loquacious."
Zhen Wanwan smiled and gently punched his chest, her face showing a hint of shyness.
Zhu Yuan swallowed hard, just about to get started.
Zhen Wanwan suddenly asked, "By the way, when can I have my people?"
"You've been training for so long, you should be ready to graduate by now!"
Today, after writing a letter to Old Lady Li and others, she remembered the purpose of her visit.
It means you can buy a bodyguard that you can use at your own discretion.
That day, after she had chosen her partner and paid the money, Zhu Yuan took her away.
They said they were going to train her to be a good watchdog.
But after all this time, there's still no sign of Zhen Wanwan.
Zhu Yuan's eyes flickered; in fact, the person had been trained to a near-complete stage.
He selfishly wanted Zhen Wanwan to stay for a while longer.
Wherever she is, there is always joy.
Zhu Yuan no longer wanted to continue his previous dull and tasteless life.
However, he couldn't explain anything on his face, for fear that Zhen Wanwan would misunderstand him as scheming.
"We'll have to wait a few more days."
Zhu Yuan avoided Zhen Wanwan's gaze and did not explicitly state that he had sent someone to her that day.
"By the way! The peach blossoms in the suburbs are in full bloom recently, and many people go there to play. If you have time, Madam, please take the children there to play."
Zhen Wanwan unconsciously touched the peach blossom hairpin in her hair, which was the one that Zhu Yuan had bought for her when they went to the market that day.
"Really? I thought it would take some more time!"
She claimed that when she first arrived in the prefectural city, she was busy dealing with the affairs of the displaced people.
Later, a department store branch opened, but I never had time to go out and shop.
Being cooped up all day is making me feel like I'm going to rot, so I took the kids on a picnic since the weather has been nice these past few days.
Zhen Wanwan was very excited at the thought of going on a picnic.
"Husband! Are you free this week? Let's go on a picnic as a family!"
Zhu Yuan subconsciously agreed, then frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Madam, what is this picnic?"
Zhen Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered that picnics were probably not popular in this era.
She explained to Zhuyuan with a smile, "This picnic is a custom in our area. Families choose a good season and a nice day to go out and grill food, or fly kites, etc..."
"The purpose of this is to promote relationships among family and friends, and also to help children develop their hands-on skills."
Zhu Yuan listened, somewhat bewildered, feeling like he only half understood.
However, this does not prevent him from unconditionally supporting his wife.
"If Madam likes it, then let's go!"
Zhen Wanwan patted Zhu Yuan's head with satisfaction, as if comforting a puppy.
Zhu Yuan paused for a moment, but ultimately did nothing, letting Zhen Wanwan tease him.
Seeing Zhen Wanwan happy, Zhu Yuan smiled, and the scene looked both warm and happy.
The next day, Zhen Wanwan went to the Zhang residence next door. She first went to feed Zhang Qinghuai his medicine.
Then he went to find Madam Zhang, intending to invite them to go on a picnic in the peach blossom forest in the suburbs.
Madam Zhang remained silent for a moment, then glanced subtly at Zhang Congrong's location.
He then replied with a smile, "I'm old and my health isn't what it used to be. You young people can go on the outing yourselves this time."
"Rong'er, you've just arrived here, go out and explore more, don't always think about spending time with us old folks."
Zhang Congrong hesitated, wondering how she could possibly go out to eat, drink, and have fun given the current situation at home.
