Mu Zhenting was surprised by Xu Xinning's medical skills; as far as he knew, the child didn't seem to have received any systematic medical training.
Mu Zhenting felt that Old Mrs. Xu was exaggerating, but even so, he still found it quite unbelievable.
Mu Zhenting wasn't a rigid person. There was a special department above, which was the department Mu Jingheng was going to join. That department recruited special talents, so it wasn't surprising that Mu Zhenting was surprised by Xu Xinning's unexpectedly good medical skills.
There are so many things in this world that are hard to explain, why bother getting to the bottom of them? As long as these people can be used by the country, that's enough.
Mu Jingheng wouldn't ask why he was there until Mu Zhenting explained.
Soldiers must prioritize the country before thinking about their own families, so soldiers have too many things to protect.
The Mu family is a military family, and Mu Jingheng is used to thinking more, observing more, and speaking less. They will definitely say what they can say, and they will never get an answer to what they cannot say, no matter how much you ask.
So Mu Jingheng wouldn't ask what his father was there for; he would just wait quietly.
Grandma Xu was already quite emotional. She felt sorry for Mu Zhenting when she saw the few strands of white hair on his head. She knew that Mu Zhenting and Xu Yaozu were about the same age, but when the two sat together, they seemed to be very different.
Being a leader isn't easy; it takes so much thought and effort!
No, his granddaughter must take his pulse. Such a good leader must live to be a hundred years old.
Grandma Xu: "Zhenting! If you're not in a hurry to leave, let my little girl take a look at you. I know that soldiers must have some hidden injuries. Let my little girl treat you. Trust me, my little girl will definitely make you healthy again."
Grandma Xu was really not shy at all, even calling Zhenting by his name. Anyone who didn't know them would think they had known each other for a very long time.
In fact, Xu Zhenting also wanted to see Xu Xinning's abilities. If she was really that capable, perhaps those battle-hardened warriors would have good news.
The country was already in dire need of reconstruction, and since the movement, it has become even more riddled with problems. Those traditional doctors from prominent families either died or were sent to the countryside, leaving very few capable people.
In recent years, it has also been discovered that foreign countries are secretly collecting secret recipes. Many traditional medicine recipes have flowed overseas due to the pressure of life or the drive for profit.
It breaks my heart!
So heartbreaking!
What can we do?
What can we do?
This is a pain for the nation, a pain for the soldiers, and a pain for traditional Chinese medicine!
Mu Zhenting replied with a smile, "Okay, I'll listen to you, Auntie. I'll have to trouble Xin Ning."
Grandma Xu laughed heartily and waved her hand, saying, "Why be so polite? We're all family. If Nannan can heal your hidden injuries, I'll be at ease."
Xu Xinning could hear everything being said in the main room clearly. After all, she was a trained martial artist, and trained martial artists have exceptionally sharp ears.
Xu Yaozu chimed in, "With Nannan's help, she'll definitely take good care of you. At the very least, your gray hair should improve."
Mu Zhenting looked delighted and said, "Oh?"
Before seeing Xu Yaozu, he hadn't paid any attention to his own image, but seeing Xu Yaozu's smug look made him very resentful, especially after learning that they might become in-laws in the future, Mu Zhenting's competitive spirit was aroused.
Xu Yaozu is good-looking, tall and strong, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but he is also quite handsome. Just look at his bastard son's face. Without his good looks, how could he have such a devilish son?
Xu Yaozu thought Mu Zhenting didn't believe him, so he added, "My daughter can also make shampoo and face cream. They work very well. With conditioning and treatment, you'll see when the time comes. It just takes time; it won't get better all at once."
Mu Zhenting nodded; how could he not know this principle?
Xu Xinning also wanted to help Mu Zhenting get better; she could tell he had a hidden ailment the moment he entered the courtyard.
How could a soldier not have any hidden illnesses? Especially someone like Mu Zhenting, whose status was inseparable from his military achievements.
Mu Zhenting glanced at his son again. He seemed to have gotten darker, but he was also stronger. The gloom on his face had also dissipated. The Xu family really takes good care of their children!
He must really like it here, right?
No need to ask, you can tell from his silly grin that he's never gotten off the bus.
When was he ever seen laughing so carefree back at home in Kyoto? All he ever did was scheme and ruthlessness every day.
Sometimes Mu Zhenting wondered why Shen Yuqin, though scheming, wasn't as evil as he'd imagined. She spoke softly and gently, and he could tell she worked hard for the family and never lacked food or clothing for Mu Jingheng. She was even somewhat submissive to him. So why did he hate her so much?
But he also knew his own son well; he was intelligent, sensitive, and kind from a young age, and he wouldn't target someone for no reason.
But he was too busy to pay attention to them. He just wanted to make sure nothing bad happened and that he would find out what was going on when he had time.
That's what he thought, but the scales in his heart tipped towards his son; Shen Yuqin was, at best, just the mother of his daughter.
Mu Zhenting looked at Mu Jingheng and asked, "Did you hold us back while you were in the countryside?"
Mu Jingheng rolled his eyes at his father, unconvinced, and said, "Am I someone who holds us back? If we're talking about holding us back, you're the only one in our family."
Isn't that right?
It's unbelievable that a grown man could be schemed against by a woman. If he was schemed against, he could have retaliated. But his father was schemed against for the rest of his life. He didn't feel aggrieved at all; I felt aggrieved for him.
If that woman were a good person, he wouldn't have anything to say, but she just happens to be a selfish, ruthless, and vicious woman.
If it weren't for his father's actions, he wouldn't have lived such a muddled life for so many years.
Mu Zhenting knew which matter Mu Jingheng was referring to, and he didn't deny that he felt quite pathetic; it was the most pathetic thing he had ever done in his life.
But then again, if he hadn't been willing, would Shen Yuqin have had such great abilities?
At the time, he thought Shen Yuqin looked good, and his two children were still young and needed someone to take care of them, so he went along with it.
But it turned out he was wrong. Now that Mu Jingheng said that, he chuckled helplessly, "You're going to keep harping on this one mistake I made?"
Mu Jingheng smiled slyly, knowing his father also cared about his reputation. "Release it, release it, of course I'll release it!" But the expiration period is too long, how can I release it? Mu Jingheng added in his mind.
Mu Zhenting continued, "After your grandfather returned home, he threw a tantrum, saying that you didn't tell him about such a big thing as going to the countryside."
Mu Jingheng: "This is your business, there's no need to talk about him. Didn't I not know about it back then?"
Mu Zhenting: "You brat, you really know how to hold a grudge."
Seeing that the father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, Grandma Xu thought she should give them some space to have a good chat, so she stood up and said, "You two chat, I'll go help in the kitchen."
Mu Zhenting also stood up and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Auntie."
Grandma Xu waved her hand and laughed, "Aren't you being too polite?"
