So Su Heng told them about how his family had mistakenly found the wrong body and buried it in their ancestral grave for over ten years.
Dong Zhen's expression went blank: Are you telling me a joke?
Su Heng: "If Lord Dong knows this family, I would appreciate it if you could help me make contact with them."
Dong Zhen looked at Su Heng, whose face was full of apology. It took Dong Zhen a long time to recover, and then she felt heartbroken!
His father was buried in someone else's ancestral grave for more than ten years. What kind of nonsense is this?!
Su Heng was also helpless. Although it was sad that Dong Zhen hadn't found his father's body, it was also very frustrating that they had been calling a stranger "father" for more than ten years and had even built his grave next to their mother's.
"No need to contact him anymore, Dong Xiaocong is my father!"
Dong Zhen sighed, her face showing a look that looked like she was about to cry.
After he said this, Su Heng was not surprised at all, and immediately began to discuss how to relocate the grave.
Dong Zhen looked at Su Heng again, tears welling up in her eyes, "Waaah! Your behavior makes me feel like you already knew!"
Su Heng smiled, realizing he had to thank his wife for it.
After much discussion, Dong Zhen finally accepted this—well, how should I put it—a welcome fact, since his father's remains had been found, although they were probably just a pile of bones now.
However, Dong Zhen asked with concern, "Since you've mistaken the body for someone else's, what about your father's remains?"
Su Heng smiled. "My father is not alive."
Then he recounted what happened to his father at the mortuary back then. Dong Zhen said, "So it turns out his father didn't die. That's even more heartbreaking!"
"If your father is alright, why hasn't he come home all these years?"
Dong Zhen guessed that perhaps she had started a new family outside, and secretly regretted that she had asked the wrong question. Wasn't this just reopening old wounds?
So Su Heng told her about how her father had been lost for more than ten years and how they had only recently reunited.
Dong Zhen's face went blank again: Are you telling me another joke?
Anyone with a normal brain could never get so lost!
Seeing the same expression on Su Heng's face, Dong Zhen chuckled twice. "Fine, I don't want to know about your family's affairs. Waaah, Dad! My poor Dad!"
"By the way, now that the body has been found, can the old man's punishment be waived?"
Although this was someone else's family matter, Su Heng felt that his own family also had a responsibility, so he brought it up.
Dong Zhen didn't know how to put on his expression. Sigh, well, Uncle Chen is old, and lately he's been knocking over the manure bucket, making the house stink. Last time when he passed by, he almost spilled it all over him. So let's spare him the punishment and let him enjoy his retirement.
After leaving the Dong residence, Su Heng went home to change out of his official robes and then went to the Changxing Marquis's residence.
However, in the study of the Marquis of Changxing's residence, when Chuanhai handed him a packet of medicine, Su Heng's dark eyes showed a hint of doubt, "What is this?"
Chuanhai, fearing he would feel embarrassed, didn't point it out. He smiled and said, "I got this from my brother-in-law. He had the same problem at first and searched for many remedies before finding this one. It works!"
Su Heng was increasingly confused. "What's wrong?"
Young people care about their image, so it's understandable that they pretend to be confused. Chuan Hai patted Su Heng on the shoulder and chimed in, "It's nothing, it's nothing. By the way, when I came back just now, I saw your Uncle Rui looking for you. Why don't you go see him?"
As she spoke, she pushed Su Heng towards the door, reminding him as she did so, "Keep eating it, it works!"
Su Heng left with the medicine, sighing, "I don't understand."
He went to see Chuanrui again, and before he could even speak, Chuanrui handed him a jar of wine and a stack of prescriptions.
Chuanrui looked at the things he had stuffed into Su Heng's arms, still feeling it wasn't enough, and leaned closer to him, saying, "I heard that boiling pig tails for three days and three nights, and then adding some aphrodisiacs, can also cure this. Do you want me to get you a few baskets of pig tails?"
Su Heng frowned. Aphrodisiac? Several baskets of it? Aren't you afraid of killing him with it?
"I don't need these."
Su Heng put the things he was carrying on the table, rubbed his temples, and seemed to understand a little.
Chuanwen has been getting close to him these past few days, but he's been holding back. So, Chuanwen must be doubting his abilities.
Su Heng was both amused and exasperated. Chuan Wen not only had doubts, but his doubts had probably been overheard by many others.
Recalling the way Xu father and son looked at him during court, and their hesitant manner, he probably overheard them.
"Hey, we're all men, this little problem is nothing, we can fix it, hurry up and get it."
Chuanrui, unwilling to give up, stuffed those things back into Su Heng's arms. Su Heng smiled wryly and said, "Uncle, I really don't have any problems."
"No problem?"
Chuanrui looked at Su Heng, whose gaze was firm. Chuanrui was stunned for a moment, then became angry.
"So what do you mean? Is my Wen girl not pretty or something wrong with her? Why aren't you tempted?"
Chuanrui was so angry he wanted to beat the guy up. Countless people coveted his daughter, and he hadn't even complained about this guy taking her away. But this guy was acting like a saint, remaining unmoved even with a woman in his lap!
Chuan Rui, who was about to roll up his sleeves and start a fight, suddenly froze, pointing at Su Heng, "Oh! I know! You little brat, you don't have someone else on the side, do you!"
This guy has been in Little Liang for almost two years. Could it be that he saw someone even more beautiful in Little Liang and no longer wants his daughter?
Seeing that Chuanrui seemed lost in thought, Su Heng quickly explained that it wasn't that he wasn't tempted, but he didn't want Chuanwen to be gossiped about behind his back.
Although the Great Jin Dynasty has begun to improve the status of women thanks to the efforts of Chuanwen and Zhang Qing, the views and prejudices that have existed for thousands of years cannot be changed overnight. A woman who has sex before marriage, even if the other party is her fiancé, will still be criticized.
After hearing his explanation, Chuan Rui lowered his rolled-up sleeves, looking a little embarrassed. However, he still adopted the demeanor of a prospective father-in-law and warned Su Heng, who naturally agreed repeatedly.
However, he still made a suggestion, "How about we move the wedding date forward a bit?"
He had previously worried about Chuanwen's young age and set their wedding date a little later. According to the timeline, there is still a year to go.
However, it seems that Chuanwen can't wait until then, and he's been enduring it so hard that he's really afraid he won't be able to hold back one day.
Chuanrui looked at Su Heng and nodded deeply. With his daughter's temperament, if they weren't married soon, who knew what kind of trouble she'd cause!
Chuanwen wasn't happy when he learned that his wedding date with Ergou had been moved up. After all, he still had a major problem to solve: Ergou was impotent! Waaah!
But when Xu Yan told her that Er Gou didn't have that problem, Chuan Wen perked up, "Really?"
Xu Yan rolled her eyes at her daughter while cracking sunflower seeds, then nodded. Sigh, is her daughter's brain not working too well? She can't even figure this out, and she's made such a big blunder.
However, it's no wonder her daughter was suspicious. Her daughter had already pounced on him and he could still hold back; anyone would have some doubts in that situation.
While Xu Yan was eating sunflower seeds, she noticed that her daughter, who had just perked up, had slumped down again.
