3. Song of the Clouds (II)

Yun Ge was both happy and nervous when she moved into the Xu family. The Xu family was very friendly, which was a novel and interesting experience for Yun Ge, who had almost only her father to accompany her since she was a child. The two wives of the Xu family and Sister Qin Zheng were very caring towards her. Although she had to learn a lot of things she had never known, which made her a little frustrated that she was so stupid, the two aunts of the Xu family and Sister Qin Zheng were not angry and often comforted her. What really made Yun Ge depressed was that she always felt that she was a little afraid of Xu Qingchen along the way, because... most of the people in the Xu family were also afraid of him. Moreover, Xu Qingchen was really fierce... Even though Xu Qingchen was still sick and powerless, and she was a healthy person with strong martial arts, she was still afraid of Xu Qingchen.

"Yun Ge... Yun Ge..." In the study, Yun Ge was working hard to copy the calligraphy left by Master Qingchen. When she heard Qin Zheng's voice, she raised her head and touched her little face. A black mark of ink immediately stained her originally fair and beautiful little face, but the owner of the little face was unaware.

"Zheng'er...sister..."

Qin Zheng stood at the door, looking at the dazed look of the girl sitting behind the desk, and couldn't help but smile, "Yun Ge, what are you doing?" Yun Ge pouted and said a little aggrievedly, "I'm practicing calligraphy."

Qin Zheng walked up, looked at Yun Ge's handwriting and said with a smile: "Yun Ge's handwriting has improved a lot, it's very good, why do you still practice?" Qin Zheng was born in Jiujiu Novel Network, and was once a famous talented woman in Chujing. The fact that she said it was very good shows that Yun Ge's handwriting is indeed good. Yun Ge whispered: "Xu Qingchen said that practicing calligraphy can temper one's character." The pitiful big eyes blinked at Qin Zheng, and it was almost as if I don't want to write was engraved on my face. Looking at Yun Ge's pitiful appearance, Qin Zheng could only sigh helplessly. Although Yun Ge was a little naughty sometimes, she was also well-behaved and pitiful. She was so persistent in what Master Qingchen said that even Madam Xu couldn't stand it. No matter how much Yun Ge disliked what Master Qingchen told her to do, as long as Master Qingchen opened his mouth, Yun Ge would do it without any compromise.

Qin Zheng wiped the ink off Yun Ge's face with a handkerchief, smiling, "Yun Ge is very good. Why should she be locked up in her room every day to hone her character? I'm going to go shopping with Ting'er and Tianxiang. Yun Ge, come with us?"

Seeing the ink stain on Qin Zheng's snow-white handkerchief, Yun Ge realized that she had made a fool of herself. She quickly took the handkerchief from Qin Zheng's hand and wiped it herself. After hearing what Qin Zheng said, Yun Ge was also very moved, but when she looked at the half-written words on the table, her pretty face couldn't help but fall. If Xu Qingchen knew that she ran away after writing half of it, he would definitely punish her by thanking her twice as much, and her fingers would be broken!

"Okay, let's go. Sister Zheng'er will help you talk to big brother, okay? Big brother is always reasonable. How can a little girl sit at home motionless every day?" Qin Zheng smiled and pulled Yun Ge and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?" As soon as I walked out of the study, I ran into Master Qingchen who was coming towards me.

Although she had a smile that made people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze, Yun Ge hid behind Qin Zheng as quickly as a mouse seeing a cat. Seeing this, Xu Qingchen kept smiling, but his eyes darkened slightly. Qin Zheng didn't feel that there was anything wrong with the atmosphere between the two of them, and smiled generously: "Brother, I was just about to look for you. Ting'er, Tianxiang, and Wuyou and I want to go out for a walk together, so we can take Yun Ge with us. She stays in the mansion all day and doesn't go anywhere. Look at her face, she looks a little haggard."

In fact, Yun Ge was not haggard, but after Qin Zheng said that, Xu Qingchen also felt that Yun Ge's smile did not seem to be as bright and beautiful as before she came to Licheng, and she always seemed to be evasive when she saw him. In fact, Master Qingchen was also wronged. When he was recuperating in the valley, he and Yun Ge got along very well, and Yun Ge was very close to him. But after coming out, Yun Ge became a little afraid of him for no reason. Master Qingchen was wise but couldn't figure out what he had done to make the little girl so afraid of him. Master Qingchen's charm that was always invincible seemed to have lost its effect. No matter how kind he was, Yun Ge always looked like she was obedient and listened to his instructions.

After a moment of silence, Xu Qingchen glanced at Yun Ge's longing eyes that were quietly exposed behind Qin Zheng and sighed helplessly, "I can't go out today."

Yun Ge's bright eyes dimmed immediately. Xu Qingchen continued, "Mr. Shen Yang is here and wants to see you."

"Mr. Shen Yang?" Yun Ge blinked and quickly responded, "Is it the miracle doctor Shen Yang?" Yun Ge studied medicine, so she naturally paid special attention to Shen Yang, the world-famous miracle doctor. Although she knew that Shen Yang was in Licheng, she had been helping him learn all kinds of etiquette knowledge since she came to the Xu family, and then there were all kinds of courses arranged by Xu Qingchen, so she had no time to sneak out to visit Shen Yang.

Xu Qingchen nodded and asked, "Does Yun Ge want to see him?"

"Of course I have to see him! Why did Mr. Shen come to see me in person?" Yun Ge asked hurriedly, with some excitement and confusion. Shen Yang was a world-famous great doctor and the number one doctor in Prince Ding's mansion. And she was just an unknown little girl, how did Shen Yang know her?

Xu Qingchen nodded and said, "In that case, let's go to the front hall. Princess Changle is here too."

In the hall, Shen Yang was sitting and drinking tea. He looked angry but didn't look like someone who was visiting. Madam Xu was sitting beside him with a look of helplessness on her face. Although Shen Yang was only a doctor employed by Prince Ding's palace, he saved Prince Ding's life and was well-known in Prince Ding's palace and the Mohist Army. The Xu family couldn't be disrespectful just because of his superb medical skills, not to mention that it was indeed the Xu family that did something wrong this time.

"Master, please don't scare Yun Ge." Mo Wuyou sat next to Shen Yang and smiled. She had met Yun Ge several times and liked the lovely girl very much. But she didn't expect Yun Ge to be related to the master.

Shen Yang snorted softly and muttered something about the girl's appearance. Mo Wuyou's pretty face immediately turned red, and she didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

"Aunt Xu, is Divine Doctor Shen really here?" Yun Ge's voice came in just as she reached the door. Madam Xu smiled and waved at her, "Yun Ge, come here quickly. This is Divine Doctor Shen Yang. Come and greet him."

Yun Ge walked forward and saluted politely, "Yun Ge has seen Divine Doctor Shen."

Shen Yang glanced at Yun Ge, and a hint of warmth flashed in his eyes. Then he nodded and said, "You have learned the rules well." Hearing this, Yun Ge lowered her head shyly and said, "It was all taught by Aunt Xu and Sister Zheng'er." She originally felt a little bored when learning these etiquette, but now that Shen Yang praised her, she suddenly felt that all the hard work was worth it. I don't know why, seeing the seemingly bad-tempered Doctor Shen in front of her, she felt particularly friendly. She attributed this to her admiration for Shen Yang.

Madam Xu smiled and pulled Yun Ge to her side, saying, "Yun Ge is a smart and well-behaved child." Madam Xu said this because she really liked Yun Ge, not only because Yun Ge was brought back by her son, but also because Yun Ge's temperament made Madam Xu, who had no daughter, really love her. Although she had a niece, Ye Li, Ye Li's temperament was calm and peaceful, and she was one of the most extraordinary women in the world. Madam Xu had very little to care for and help her, and Yun Ge was so innocent and ignorant, and she knew nothing about the world, which made Madam Xu even more worried and distressed.

As they were talking, Xu Qingchen and Qin Zheng also followed. Seeing Xu Qingchen, Shen Yang's expression, which had eased a little, became ugly again. He snorted lightly and said nothing coldly. Xu Qingchen did not take it as an offense, and smiled calmly and said, "Has Yun Ge met Mr. Shen?"

Yun Ge looked at Shen Yang, who suddenly got angry, in confusion, then looked at Xu Qingchen, who was smiling, and nodded, saying with a smile: "I have seen it before, Mr. Shen praised me."

Xu Qingchen smiled and said gently, "Is that so? Mr. Shen rarely exaggerates. But Yun Ge should not be arrogant either."

Yun Ge nodded repeatedly, but her bright eyes were already glued to Shen Yang. Since her father passed away, she had no one to guide her in medical skills. When she had doubts, she could only slowly explore on her own. She had not made any progress for a long time. Thinking of this, Yun Ge looked at Shen Yang with even more eagerness.

Seeing Yun Ge looking at Shen Yang with undisguised admiration, Xu Qingchen looked at Shen Yang with a slightly gloomy expression and said, "Mr. Shen, if you have anything to say, Yun Ge is here now, so you can say it."

Shen Yang snorted softly, and looked at Yun Ge with a gentle look. Although he respected the Xu family, it did not mean that he could understand the fact that the Xu family hid Yun Ge's identity from him. No matter what, Yun Ge was a member of his Shen family.

"Yun Ge, come here. This is my gift to you." Shen Yang took out a simple jade box and handed it over. Yun Ge couldn't help but look at Xu Qingchen, and when he nodded, she walked over to take the box from Shen Yang's hand, but Shen Yang's face darkened again.

Yun Ge curiously opened the box, but saw a set of silver needles neatly placed inside. Yun Ge's face lit up, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "This is... This is the Hibiscus Needle that Daddy mentioned?"

Shen Yang nodded and smiled, "Yes, it is the Hibiscus Needle. I don't need it now, and since you are also studying medicine, I will give it to you." The Hibiscus Needle is just a bunch of silver needles for ordinary people, but it is a rare treasure for doctors. Yun Ge was naturally very happy, but she was also a little uneasy, "This... Yun Ge can't take it."

Shen Yang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why not?"

Yun Ge bit her lip and said, "Daddy said that the Hibiscus Needle is not easy to make, and this is the only set left in the world. Yun Ge cannot accept such a valuable gift from Mr. Shen."

Shen Yang looked at Yun Ge and smiled thoughtfully: "Yun Ge girl, I heard that you are a good doctor."

Yun Ge's face turned slightly red. "Yun Ge's medical skills have not improved for a long time."

"Do you think I can give you some pointers?" Shen Yang said with a smile.

Shen Yang had explained it so clearly, how could Yun Ge not understand? She said happily, "Mr. Shen, are you willing to take Yun Ge as your disciple?"

Shen Yang shook his head, and when he saw Yun Ge's disappointed look, he smiled and said, "My last name is Shen, and your last name is Shen too. I am old now but I have no children. Are you willing to accept me as your godfather?"

"Godfather?" Yun Ge was stunned.

However, Shen Yang took her consent as an immediate thought, and said with a satisfied smile: "Good child, this is a gift from your godfather, keep it well." He raised his hand and put the jade box containing the silver needle into Yun Ge's hand.

"Ah?" Yun Ge was at a loss. Did she agree?

"Mr. Shen, is this..." Madam Xu frowned and asked. Yun Ge didn't know, but they knew the relationship between Shen Yang and Yun Ge. According to the generation point, Shen Yang was already Yun Ge's uncle, so how could he adopt a daughter?

Xu Qingchen lowered his eyes, pondered for a moment, and smiled: "Yun Ge, you are studying medicine, and you happen to have the same surname as Mr. Shen. Are you willing to be Mr. Shen's adopted daughter?" Yun Ge raised her eyes and glanced at Shen Yang who was looking at her lovingly, and whispered: "If I recognize Mr. Shen as my adopted father, will Mr. Shen love Yun Ge as much as my father does?"

Shen Yang nodded and smiled, "Of course, your godfather will teach you everything he has learned in his life. And Wuyou, although she is two months younger than you, she got in first...you can call her whatever you want. You are of similar age, so you can study and play together in the future and be companions."

"Senior Sister Wuyou."

"Sister Yunge."

Yun Ge and Wu You said in unison, and before they finished speaking they both couldn't help but laugh.

"Godfather!" Yun Ge shouted.

"Good kid." Shen Yang's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded at Yun Ge. He had never been married and had no children. His nephew, who he had high hopes for, had left for another world for his wife. Now, Yun Ge was the only bloodline left in the Shen family.

"Congratulations to Mr. Shen for having such a well-behaved daughter." Madam Xu smiled, although the confusion in seniority gave Madam Xu a headache. But since Shen Yang didn't care and her son agreed, she didn't have any objections. Originally, Yun Ge's parents' affairs had nothing to do with Yun Ge, and Shen Yang's reluctance to mention it was for Yun Ge's own good.

Shen Yang nodded, glanced at Xu Qingchen and said calmly: "Thank you, Madam Xu. In this case... I just happen to have something to discuss with Madam Xu."

Madam Xu was startled and said with a smile, "Mr. Shen, just say whatever you want. You don't have to be polite."

Shen Yang said: "Since Yun Ge has acknowledged me as her adoptive father, she is now the daughter of our Shen family. I will bring Yun Ge back to my house in the next two days. Thank you, Madam, for taking care of her during this period." Although Shen Yang lived in Prince Ding's Mansion most of the time, he also had his own separate mansion in Li City.

After hearing what Shen Yang said, Madam Xu was stunned for a moment, but Xu Qingchen, who was sitting below her, immediately looked embarrassed.
