Chapter 301 We've Found Changliu Village
Inside, Eunuch Liu quickly pulled open the carriage curtain and looked up to see Du Wanchun and Nan Fengling.
This eunuch Liu had always been the emperor's personal eunuch, so Du Wanchun had never met him in person, and the two did not know each other.
He smiled and asked Du Wanchun and Nan Fengling, "Ladies, do you know if there is a doctor with excellent medical skills in your village?"
"A highly skilled doctor?" Du Wanchun muttered softly, then smiled and said, "There's no such thing as a highly skilled doctor."
Liu Gonggong looked disappointed, but he did not give up. He sat back in the carriage and told the servants to continue driving the carriage in.
After taking Eunuch Liu away, Nan Fengling held Du Wanchun's hand and whispered, "Sister-in-law, that man is strange."
Du Wanchun looked in the direction Liu Gonggong had gone and nodded slightly, saying, "Something is definitely not right."
Nan Fengling continued, "That man didn't have a beard, and even his voice was strange. I think he must be a palace eunuch. I often see people in the palace, so I recognized him at a glance."
Du Wanchun looked away and pulled her forward, saying, "Let's go back quickly and tell Mother about this."
They strode back.
Aunt Zhou was in the inner room with her four children, while Madam Wu was helping Granny Zhuang take steamed buns out of the kitchen.
When Madam Wu saw them return, she took the steamed buns out of the steamer and said with a smile, "Wanchun, Nanfeng, you've come back just in time. The steamed buns are done."
Nan Fengling hurried inside and quickly told Aunt Zhou about seeing the eunuch earlier.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou's expression changed, and she quickly said to Du Wanchun, "Wanchun, I won't go out today. You and Ling'er keep an eye on that person for me."
Du Wanchun replied, "Yes, Mother."
Aunt Zhou immediately turned around and told the Third Prince, who was chopping wood in the backyard, about the matter.
After discussing it, the two found a guest room in the backyard and hid there.
Not long after they had hidden themselves, Eunuch Liu stopped the carriage in front of their door.
Liu Gonggong rode his carriage around the village for a while, but couldn't find any skilled doctors. Seeing that the Zhou family had a large household, he stopped the carriage and wanted to ask them for advice.
Du Wanchun came out and met Eunuch Liu.
Eunuch Liu was taken aback. "Aren't you the girl from the village entrance just now?"
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "That's right, exactly."
Liu Gonggong's face was full of disappointment. "It seems I really did come to the wrong place."
After he finished speaking, he looked up into the house, as if to ask if he could stay the night.
Just then, Doctor Xu arrived. "Wanchun, how is your third sister-in-law feeling today?"
Du Wanchun looked up at him and replied with a smile, "I'm feeling well, thank you for your concern, Doctor Xu."
Doctor Xu smiled and said, "It's good that you're feeling well. If anything happens, just call me."
Du Wanchun thanked him, saying, "Yes, thank you very much, Doctor Xu."
Dr. Xu waved his hand and turned to leave.
Eunuch Liu immediately asked Du Wanchun, "Is this the doctor?"
Du Wanchun replied, "That's right, this is indeed the doctor from our village."
Eunuch Liu quickly replied, "Didn't you say there weren't any highly skilled doctors here?"
Du Wanchun smiled, her eyebrows curving upwards, and said, "Indeed, there are no highly skilled doctors, only ordinary village doctors."
Liu Gonggong suddenly realized what was happening and hurriedly chased after Doctor Xu.
"Doctor! Doctor! Wait a minute!"
Hearing the voice, Doctor Xu turned around and looked at him. "Young master, what business do you have with me?"
After regaining his footing, Eunuch Liu asked him, "Doctor, is your hometown Xiangyang Village?"
Doctor Xu was taken aback, her gaze darkening as she asked him, "Who are you?"
With a smile, Eunuch Liu said, "My hometown is Xiangyang Village. There used to be a doctor in our village with extremely high medical skills, but he passed away a long time ago. However, his son is still alive."
Dr. Xu listened and slowly said, "That's right, my hometown is indeed Xiangyang Village."
Eunuch Liu was overjoyed. "That's wonderful!"
When Dr. Xu saw that he was from the same hometown, his attitude softened considerably, and he took him back to his home.
After the person left, Du Wanchun immediately closed the door.
Nan Fengling came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, is she gone?"
Du Wanchun turned around and said, "He's gone. It seems he didn't come looking for his mother; he probably just came to find a doctor."
Nan Fengling asked in confusion, "Why would a palace eunuch come outside the palace to find a doctor? Could it be that someone in the palace is seriously ill?"
As she spoke, she realized something was amiss. "If anyone in the palace were sick, they wouldn't need to travel all the way to this small village to fetch a doctor. There are plenty of imperial physicians in the palace."
A hint of a smile appeared in Du Wanchun's eyes. "Perhaps she has contracted some kind of rare or difficult-to-treat illness."
At this moment, the Third Prince came out from the back room and said, "I think it must be that my brother has contracted syphilis."
Upon hearing these three words, Nan Fengling was shocked. "How could the ruler of a country contract such a venereal disease?"
