Chen Erlang took out five taels of silver on the spot, severing all ties with the Chen family.
The Chen family stared wide-eyed at the silver.
A glint of greed flashed in Chen's mother's eyes, and she immediately demanded sharply, "You beast, where did you get this money?"
Madam Chen Li also made sarcastic remarks: "Uncle, you didn't take this money from your brother, did you?"
Chen Erlang said, "No."
Chen's mother's voice was even louder: "If it's not your brother's, then whose is it? How could you possibly have so much silver on you?"
Just as Chen Erlang was about to explain, he heard a leisurely voice from outside: "This doctor borrowed it."
Everyone looked over and saw Shulan carrying a medicine box, swaggering in.
He Fengmian habitually stepped forward to take her medicine box.
Seeing that her forehead was covered in sweat, he even took out a handkerchief and said, "Wipe it off."
At the same time, they handed her the bowl of tea they had poured for themselves: "Have some water."
Shulan wiped her sweat and took the water. Her movements were so natural that everyone was stunned, and the room fell silent for a moment.
After Shulan finished drinking the water, she looked at Chen's mother and said, "The money was lent to him by me. Do you have any objections?"
I naturally had my opinions, but I didn't dare to say them.
One was a general, and the other was Doctor Shu; neither of them could be offended.
Even though Chen Li was furious, she knew she couldn't speak at this moment. She could only grit her teeth and curse their good fortune in receiving help from Doctor Shu and the General.
But if they can get it, then what about themselves?
Are they really not as good as those two idiots?
Thinking of this, even though she was furious inside, she forced a kind smile and said, "Dr. Shu, you may not know, but my brother-in-law is actually two-faced. You have to be careful and don't be fooled by him."
Seeing that Chen Erlang's face had darkened, he didn't care.
He was still saying, "Our eldest son is different. He's down-to-earth and hardworking. Last time he even said he wanted our Guangzong to become your apprentice."
These words almost made Shulan laugh. She said, "My clinic is small and I have many apprentices. It would be difficult to support them all. I think your Guangzong has great potential. It would be a waste for him to study medicine."
Seeing that she even had a smug look on her face, I lost all interest in speaking.
He simply asked He Fengmian, "General, has the matter been resolved?"
He Fengmian hummed in agreement and handed the letter of severance of kinship to Chen Erlang: "Keep this safe. If they dare to cause you any more trouble in the future, just send this letter of severance of kinship to the yamen."
Chen Erlang carefully accepted it: "Thank you, General. Thank you, Doctor Shu."
Even after leaving the Chen family, he continued to express his gratitude.
Everyone sighed at the Chen family's stupidity.
Look at Chen Erlang, he was on good terms with Doctor Shu and the General, yet he broke off his relationship with them and even said those provocative things.
Even if I don't offend Dr. Shu, it seems impossible for him to help me in the future.
I have no idea what they were thinking.
Once they left the Chen family's residence, Jingfeng, who had been leisurely grazing there, automatically came to their side.
Before mounting her horse, Shulan said to Chen Erlang, "That thatched hut is not good for Hua Niang's health. The most important thing is to build the house as soon as possible."
“I know, I’ll go choose a site and build a house right now.”
"Okay, I'll come again tomorrow."
After saying that, he mounted his horse.
He Fengmian took her away.
As everyone watched their retreating figures, someone couldn't help but mutter, "The general is too young."
"That's right, he's only recently come of age."
"I heard that the general went to the battlefield when he was a teenager and took over the border at the age of sixteen."
Everyone murmured amongst themselves, and finally exclaimed, "So handsome and so capable, he truly is a great general!"
The general they were talking about, though he took Shulan with him, did not return to the city.
Shulan looked in the direction and asked, "Is this going to the lake?"
He Fengmian hummed in agreement: "Didn't you want to eat grilled fish? Mo Yang and the others are waiting over there."
Shulan immediately perked up, straightening her back: "Sure, let's go see the daytime scenery."
Seeing her excited expression, He Fengmian's eyes lit up with a smile again, and his deep voice whispered in her ear, "Okay."
Su Shulan felt half of her body go numb, and before she knew it, she was leaning against his chest again.
Even so, Shulan didn't think about anything else.
He also said, "General, has anyone ever told you that you have a very nice voice?"
He Fengmian raised an eyebrow slightly: "No, only you said that."
"That's because they don't know what's good for them. With a voice like yours, you could easily charm countless girls." Even someone like her, who isn't a fan of voices, is occasionally captivated by his voice, let alone others.
But what she didn't know was that the title of Divine Martial General, the three characters of He Fengmian, were already tainted with bloodshed and slaughter.
Hearing his name or seeing him evokes fear or dread, or, like those in the military, reverence.
Who would care whether his voice is pleasant or not, or whether it's magnetic?
It's only because she's with him from time to time that she finds his voice alluring.
The wind frolicked in the bright sunshine, and the two people on horseback were inexplicably in high spirits. One was because of the delicious food and beautiful scenery that were about to unfold, and the other was because of the beautiful woman in his arms... Although their experiences were different, their good mood was the same.
Before we even reached the lake, we could hear shouts and laughter, indicating that there were quite a few people there.
Shulan said from there, "I think this is quite leisurely."
He Fengmian explained, "The border has been peaceful recently, so everyone has relaxed a bit."
