Chapter 72: Marriage
Hearing his mother's question, the young man who was once fearless blushed for the first time.
Chu Mingzhao said to Wang Shi awkwardly, "Mother, you know this person's name. But their family has some grievances with us, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to agree to me."
Thinking of Chu Ruyan hurting Ning'er time and time again, he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Wang smiled gently and said comfortingly, "As long as it's Zhao'er's sweetheart, no matter how big the misunderstanding between the two families is, I will put aside my pride and go to persuade them personally."
Life is too short. It is meaningful only if you can be with the one you love.
Chu Mingzhao heard this and said, "But her father died early, and the family has long lost its former prominence. I'm worried that her father would not agree."
"Don't worry about your father. I'll find a way!" Wang patted Chu Mingzhao's hand. "Money, status, and position are all external things. As long as the girl has good character, even if her family is a fishmonger in the vegetable market, I will help you marry her!"
My life has been so hard. Only after marrying a man like Chu Linyuan who has a beastly heart did I realize the importance of character.
Moreover, Chu Linyuan was busy with court affairs all day long. After leaving the court, he would secretly go to see his sweetheart. How could he care about Zhao'er's marriage?
When Chu Mingzhao heard this, he felt relieved.
He took out a pen and paper, hesitantly wrote three words on the paper, and quickly lowered his head.
The boy was sensitive and delicate, and he was still a little shy when he admitted to his mother for the first time that he liked a girl.
Wang came closer and took a look, her eyes and eyebrows instantly brightened with smiles: "So it's the young lady from the Shen family who donated money to the Xuanjia Camp. I've heard some stories about her deeds in the capital, and they are said to be remarkable."
A woman who cares about the victims and soldiers is naturally a reliable person.
Chu Mingzhao reminded her, "Mother, Ning'er and Pei Yanzhou were originally engaged and were about to get married, but because of my sister's interference, they broke off the engagement... She must not like our Chu family."
Wang frowned and naturally knew what was going on.
"Don't worry, Chu Ruyan is Chu Ruyan, and you are you. You two are not even related by blood, so why blame yourself?"
"As long as we are sincere to Shen Yuning and move her with our sincerity, maybe she will let go of her past grudges and forgive you."
"As for Pei Yanzhou and Chu Ruyan's debt to Miss Shen, we will compensate them after we marry them!"
"Mother!" Chu Mingzhao didn't expect his mother to think this way. He shouted excitedly, "Mother, do you mean you are willing to help me?"
Wang nodded solemnly, "That's right, my son's marriage must be arranged by me personally!"
Poor Wang, at this moment she had not yet connected Shen Yuning with the girl in Chu Linyuan's heart. She was still very pleased that her son had found his ideal partner.
—
After coming out of Chu Mingzhao's room, Wang found a servant's clothes and put them on.
She deliberately took off all the pearl hairpins and jewelry on her head, and then took a nanny to Shen's Clinic.
"I will pretend to be a poor citizen who can't afford medicine and go to Shen's Clinic to ask for medicine."
"If that child's character is really as the outside world says, I will help Ming Zhao marry that child even if it means risking my own life!"
Zhang Ma said anxiously, "Madam, you look even shabbier than a servant like me. Which young lady would want to approach you?"
"Although the Shen family isn't as prominent as when Master Shen was alive, they are still the children of officials. Furthermore, Doctor Shen is the chief physician of the Xuanjia Battalion and will soon be assigned to the Imperial Hospital... With such a prominent status, what if someone dislikes you... what should you do?"
Wang smiled disapprovingly and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"I'm going to find a wife for Ming Zhao, not to build his future."
"If Shen Yuning can withstand my test, then I will die with my eyes closed."
——
The carriage moved slowly, and soon, Wang and Zhang arrived at Shen's Medical Clinic.
When they walked into the clinic, they found that the staff there were efficient and kind-looking, which made them happy.
"Yu Ning has good taste and is very good at employing people. She can become a mistress in the future and is suitable for housekeeping!"
Walking further in, they saw some disabled people doing some simple chores in the clinic. Wang was puzzled for a moment and ordered Zhang Ma to go and find out.
After asking, I learned that these people all came from poor families. They had no money to treat their illnesses and were turned away by other clinics. Only Dr. Shen was willing to take them in. He not only cured their illnesses but also gave them simple jobs, which allowed them to survive until now.
Wang was delighted and even more excited.
Shen Yuning hasn't even met the person yet, but she is already extremely satisfied.
“Madam, there is no doubt about Miss Shen’s character, but perhaps her appearance is not satisfactory.”
Zhang Ma reminded from the side: "If she was good-looking, General Pei wouldn't have been seduced by the one from Xiyuan. I guess Miss Shen's looks can't compare to the one from Xiyuan!"
"Let's go and take a look. As long as Ming Zhao likes her, appearance doesn't matter!"
With this feeling, Wang walked into the inner hall.
As soon as I entered the door and hadn't even stood firmly, I was stunned by the scene in front of me.
I saw a little girl in a navy blue medical gown, calm and composed, with experienced acupuncture skills.
Although the little face looks a little tired, she treats patients meticulously.
With slender jade fingers and a frown in concentration, she was examining a dirty beggar.
Her tone was gentle yet serious, and she didn't seem to give anyone any preferential treatment when prescribing medicine, but in fact she deliberately lowered the price of the medicine.
The beggar did not feel that he was any different from other people. He just felt that he was an ordinary patient and did not feel inferior at all.
Wang's heart warmed and she was almost moved to tears by this heartwarming painting.
She looked Ana Shen up and down, the light in her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
I only saw that although Shen Yuning was dressed simply and didn’t wear any jewelry, her beautiful appearance and perfect temperament could not conceal her radiance at all.
A cherry mouth, rosy cheeks, skin as white as cream, shining brightly... Even if we use the words "beauty that topples the country" to describe her, it is not an exaggeration at all!
How could she be bad-looking? She was absolutely gorgeous!
Wang was so happy in her heart that she took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears.
"No wonder my son likes her. Even I, a woman, can't help but be fascinated by this child!"
Zhang's mother, who was standing by, was so shocked that her mouth opened wide.
She whispered in Wang's ear, "Oh my God, even the fairies in heaven are not as good as this!"
"I really don't know what kind of magic potion General Pei was fed. He actually left such a good woman behind and chose to look for the one in Xiyuan..."
She cleared her throat and didn't dare to continue speaking. She was just happy for the young master in her heart.
“If General Pei and Miss Shen hadn’t broken off their engagement, how could my young master have such a good thing?”
Wang was happy in her heart, and waited until all the patients had finished seeing them before she walked up to Shen Yuning.
Throughout the whole process, she stared at Shen Yuning's face intently, with a kind smile on her face, and she couldn't hide her liking for her at all.
"That's great! You are such a good kid, kind-hearted and good-looking!"
Wang blurted out the words carelessly, and she was eager to make her intention known immediately.
"What's wrong with you, Madam?" Shen Yuning stretched out her hand, wanting to take her pulse.
Wang quickly retracted her wrist and said in a panic, "Doctor Shen, I'm not sick. I just accidentally fell and injured myself a few days ago. I'd like you to prescribe some medicine for injuries."
She took chronic poison every day according to Chu Linyuan's instructions, so she didn't dare to take Shen Yuning's pulse.
I only dared to roll up my sleeves to show some of the scars on my body.
"Doctor Shen, please help me take a look at my injuries. I fell while walking, and that's why I have so many scars on my body..."
Her eyes dodged as she spoke, fearing that Ana Shen would discover that the injuries on her body were caused by a beating.
Shen Yuning only took a glance, then quickly wrote down a few medicinal ingredients on the prescription paper and asked Shopkeeper Qian to get them.
When she had sent the other person away, she suddenly grabbed Wang's hand and said, "Madam, tell me the truth. Were the injuries on your body caused by a man?"
"Do you need me to report you to the police?"
