He always told others that he was the seventh son, a fact that even his father and stepmother did not know.
How did the woman in front of me guess that?
Hua Yan subconsciously replied, "Do you know me?"
Zhen Wanwan shook her head: "I don't know your mother, but I roughly know who you are?"
Hua Yan was puzzled, saying one moment that he knew him and the next that he didn't.
Do they know each other or not?
"Then tell me, who am I?"
Zhen Wanwan looked directly into his eyes and said in a low voice, "That good-for-nothing scion of the Hua family - Hua Yan."
Hua Yan gave a self-deprecating sneer. His reputation was truly immense!
Even a remote small county town knows his reputation.
Zhen Wanwan glanced at him, but in her heart she was thinking about what Zhu Yuan had said.
Hua Yan is at the bottom of the food chain in the Hua family and has never been valued by the family.
Moreover, he was born out of wedlock, and his family regarded him as a disgrace, growing up under the strange gaze of others.
Because his stepmother was an intolerant person, he had a difficult life from a young age.
In order to grow up safely, Hua Yan pretended to be an ignorant and arrogant young master.
In reality, he was the most talented in traditional Chinese medicine among all the Hua family members.
He knew how to endure humiliation and hardship, even though his family wouldn't let him learn to read or write or teach him medicine.
This child learned all his skills through self-exploration and by observing others.
These were discovered by people sent by Zhuyuan.
Looking at the stubborn and arrogant thirteen-year-old boy in front of her, Zhen Wanwan inexplicably thought of Zhu Yuan.
Her husband must have had a much harder life when he was young than the young boy in front of her!
Thinking of this, Zhen Wanwan felt extremely heartbroken.
"Who are you? What is your relationship with the Hua family?"
Hua Yan looked intently at Zhen Wanwan, trying to glean useful information from her eyes.
However, Zhen Wanwan's eyes were clear and innocent, without the scheming she had imagined.
Zhen Wanwan glanced at the servant behind Hua Yan and suddenly shouted, "You call yourself a young master from a prominent family? You bully people and still think you're in the right? You even dared to threaten me, saying you'd have your servant arrest me?"
Hua Yan was taken aback, then noticed the servants behind him, and his expression suddenly changed as well.
"Hmph! You shrew! If it weren't for you, would I be in this state? Are you all blind? Hurry up and arrest him!"
Upon seeing this, the servants of the Hua family exchanged glances; they were all Madam Hua's men.
They came to Hua Yan's place just to keep an eye on him, they didn't say they were there to avenge him!
Moreover, they were given instructions before going out this time. If Hua Yan offends someone and loses his life while he is out there, it will have nothing to do with the lady.
When Hua Yan saw that he couldn't get these people to move, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
However, this emotion came and went quickly, and others only saw his exasperated appearance.
Hua Yan couldn't get anyone to come, but Zhen Wanwan did.
"Who's causing trouble here?"
The constable, acting on orders, came over and subtly sized up Zhen Wanwan.
Seeing that she was not injured, I finally felt relieved.
When Old Lady Li saw the government officials arrive, she instantly became much more confident and angrily pointed at Hua Yan to file a complaint.
"This guy is a quack doctor and a fraud! He comes here just to scam money! We waited in line all morning, and as soon as it was our turn, he started pointing at us and cursing nonstop..."
Old Mrs. Li embellished her story, and with Aunt Zhou adding a few more words, she completely portrayed Hua Yan as a swindler who bullied the weak.
The constables were there to protect people, and without listening to Hua Yan and the others' explanations, they detained everyone.
Even Hua Yanlai, who was injured and unconscious, took the medicine with him.
The crowd watched the spectacle, but it wasn't enough. Since everyone had already left, they had no choice but to go home, having already enjoyed themselves.
On the other side, Zhen Wanwan was also taken to the yamen for tea.
As always, she saw Zhu Yuan waiting for her as soon as she arrived at the backyard of the yamen.
Zhu Yuan stepped forward and hugged her, then greeted Old Lady Li and Aunt Zhou.
This was the first time that Old Lady Li had been invited to the government office, and as an ordinary citizen, she was extremely flustered.
Seeing her son-in-law calmed her uneasy heart.
"Xiao Yuan! You're so busy with official duties, and we're still bothering you!"
Zhu Yuan smiled and comforted her, "Mother! We're family, what's this talk of disturbing you!"
"Everyone, please come in and sit down for a while. We can talk about everything later."
Grandma Li nodded and pulled her friend inside.
As soon as Zhen Wanwan entered the door, she asked, "How did you know we were here, husband?"
She came in a hurry today, without even bringing Ah Yue with her.
How did Zhuyuan know her whereabouts so well, and how did he send someone to save the day so quickly?
“Naturally, my wife and I are of one heart, and I sensed your presence here.”
Zhu Yuan is now able to fluently express his love words.
Zhen Wanwan's face darkened, and she pretended to be annoyed, saying, "I'm serious."
For some reason, she always felt that someone was watching her, and this feeling had happened more than once or twice.
Zhu Yuan tightened his grip on Zhen Wanwan and said mysteriously, "I'll tell you when we get back tonight!"
Zhen Wanwan's appetite was successfully whetted.
Zhu Yuan explained the matter of Hua Yan to Old Lady Li.
Upon hearing that he was from the Hua family, a renowned family of doctors, Old Lady Li beat her chest and stamped her feet in regret.
"Oh dear! If I had known he was so capable, I would have held back and let him finish treating Wanwan first."
Old Mrs. Li was filled with regret at this moment. The Hua family members were brought by Zhu Yuan to treat Zhen Wanwan.
Now that they've offended someone, things probably won't be so easy to handle.
Zhu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he softly explained, "Mother! Please don't worry, Hua Yan is not the only member of the Hua family this time."
Old Mrs. Li's hope was rekindled, but it was quickly extinguished.
"But even if it's someone else, they're still members of the Hua family. We've offended Hua Yan, so why would the other members of the Hua family be willing to help us?"
Zhen went to comfort Old Lady Li that evening; she knew her own health condition.
There's basically nothing seriously wrong now, but Grandma Li and Zhuyuan are still very worried.
They'd only believe her if every doctor said she was good!
Zhu Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and his lips parted slightly: "That person is not from the Hua family, but his medical skills are definitely no less than Hua Yan's."
This is what he found out in his recent investigation. He had been questioning why Hua Yan had never seriously studied medicine, so how could his medical skills be so good?
After observing for a while, he noticed something was wrong.
Hua Yan learned his medical skills from his old servant.
As for the old servant, he was the legendary herbalist who had disappeared for twenty years.
This person possesses superb medical skills; he is truly capable of bringing the dead back to life.
"Husband, who is that person?"
Zhen Wanwan was genuinely curious. When she heard Zhu Yuan talk about it before, she thought the Hua family was already incredibly powerful.
There was an even more impressive person hiding here. How could she not be curious?
