Chapter 243 You are the royal family of Yu Kingdom, right?
As soon as the door opened, Xie Yunchuan saw his precious little sister with a long face.
The little dumpling looked aggrieved, downcast, and disappointed, as if it were about to cry at any moment.
Xie Yunchuan's heart tightened, and he asked her gently, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
As expected, Shen Jiaqing recognized Xie Yunchuan as soon as he entered the room. Before Xie Yunchuan even entered, Shen Jiaqing hadn't seen what the person outside looked like.
Shen Jiaqing was slightly surprised; he never expected that the two people he met that afternoon would be Shengsheng's older brother.
As if struck by a thought, a hint of interest flashed in Shen Jiaqing's eyes, and she murmured to herself as she smiled.
"So, Sheng Sheng and this young boy are quite... interesting, really interesting. I've met four of them on this trip to Yu Kingdom. I wonder what kind of luck I have."
At the door, the little girl walked out from Shen Jiaqing's place with a wronged look on her face. Xie Yunchuan naturally assumed that Sheng Sheng had been wronged by Shen Jiaqing. Although they had something to ask of this divine doctor, he did not want to see his sister suffer.
Xie Yunchuan frowned, hugged the little girl tightly, and asked her softly, "What's wrong? Did you suffer some injustice?"
Xie Yunyang guessed, "Shengsheng, did you and your fifth brother come to plead with Doctor Shen, only to be turned away?"
Sheng Sheng shook her head with a bitter face: "No, Sheng Sheng was not wronged, nor was she turned away."
Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang asked in confusion, "What happened?"
Sheng Sheng burst into Xie Yunchuan's arms with a cry: "Brother, it seems like Sheng Sheng has done something bad..."
Xie Yunchuan was a little confused, but he patiently coaxed the little dumpling in his arms who was about to cry, glanced into the room, and then said, "Let's go inside first, okay?"
"Um……"
Sheng Sheng followed Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang inside, dawdling and hiding behind them, refusing to show her face. She almost yanked Xie Yunchuan's cloak off.
So everyone in the room, except for Sheng Sheng herself, stared in bewilderment as Sheng Sheng's rabbit-shaped hair bun, which wasn't hidden by Xie Yunchuan, twirled left and right behind Xie Yunchuan's cloak, but just wouldn't come out.
What's wrong with Sheng Sheng?
Feeling misunderstood by others, Sheng Sheng is currently caught in a deep dilemma.
She was terrified of seeing the disappointment on Shen Jiaqing's face, feeling as if she must have become the most scheming child in his eyes!
Never mind, how did she just comfort herself?
Yes, yes, if we could get the Rejuvenating Herb back, that wouldn't be a problem!
Sheng Sheng tugged at Xie Yunchuan's cloak, forced a smile, and finally peeked out reluctantly. Still hiding behind Xie Yunchuan, she squinted at Shen Jiaqing and chuckled, "Hehehe... well, these two are Sheng Sheng's brothers."
Xie Yunchuan was perceptive. After pondering Sheng Sheng's expression towards Shen Jiaqing for a long time, he finally guessed that the little dumpling was probably afraid of being misunderstood as having ill intentions, which was why she felt a little guilty for no reason.
Xie Yunqi, that careless fellow, is making more and more progress in taking care of Sheng Sheng in his behavior, but he still needs to work on his social skills.
Sure enough, Xie Yunqi didn't miss a thing about Sheng Sheng's inner thoughts, and even "thoughtfully" reminded her: "Little sister, you forgot, your second brother and the others already met with Doctor Shen this afternoon. Doctor Shen should know your second brother."
Sheng Sheng chuckled twice: "Ha, ha, ha, really? Fifth Brother's reminder is spot on, I'd forgotten all about it."
Shen Jiaqing glanced at Xie Yunqi, secretly amused, then looked at Shengsheng, who was about to transform into a Ninja Turtle and wished she could immediately retreat into her shell, and immediately understood.
The little dumpling has gotten herself into a mess. She feels guilty and ashamed because she thinks he will misunderstand her as a scheming girl with impure motives.
Shen Jiaqing found it amusing and, continuing Xie Yunqi's words, deliberately said, "That's right, I have seen them before. I just parted ways with these two gentlemen before I went to buy fried chicken frames."
Shen Jiaqing's words immediately startled the two of them.
One of them was Sheng Sheng. After hearing this, Sheng Sheng lowered her face even further and thought to herself, "As expected, Doctor Shen knows everything. She has indeed been misunderstood!"
The other one is Xie Yunyang. He never would have imagined that the seemingly otherworldly Doctor Shen would actually go and buy fried chicken frames.
The storybooks say that such a highly skilled healer eats flower petals and drinks dew.
Cough cough.
Xie Yunyang coughed lightly, her ears turning slightly red. She secretly regretted that she shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to agree to Xie Yunqi's request for a storybook when he was bored and pestering her. She originally thought it was just to keep her younger brother company and entertain her, but she didn't expect it to have such a subtle influence on her.
That's terrifying.
The group of people had different thoughts. Xie Yunchuan calmly met Doctor Shen's gaze, cupped his hands and said, "Doctor Shen, I'm sorry, my sister did not do it on purpose. If she offended you in any way, I, as her elder brother, apologize on her behalf."
Talking to smart people is so easy; neither of us needs to finish our sentences to understand what the other is saying.
Shen Jiaqing raised an eyebrow: "You don't even know what happened, yet you're so eager to defend her?"
“Sheng Sheng is my sister, so of course I have to protect her. Besides, I know her; she's not that kind of person.”
Xie Yunchuan had already come up with a plan in just a few minutes. If Shengsheng had done something wrong and offended him, Xie Yunchuan would of course make Shengsheng apologize. If that wasn't possible, he, as the older brother, could apologize as well.
If Sheng Sheng did not do anything wrong on purpose, but Doctor Shen deliberately used Sheng Sheng as an excuse to completely refuse their request, then it can only mean that they are truly not destined to be with Doctor Shen.
At worst, he can go to the State of Jin or find another way.
"Hahaha."
To their surprise, Shen Jiaqing seemed even more pleased and laughed, "Not bad, not bad. You little kids, you're not very old, but you have good character."
Sheng Sheng was somewhat bewildered. She felt that Shen Jiaqing's words sounded like those of an elderly man with a white beard, stroking his beard and praising a younger person in a very kind and gentle manner.
Shen Jiaqing sat down and poured a cup of tea for everyone: "Sit down and let's talk."
The group was puzzled and remained motionless for a moment.
Seeing that the others didn't move, Shen Jiaqing looked up, smiled, and shook her head: "What, do you want me to treat you?"
Xie Yunchuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course I wouldn't dare."
After saying that, he was the first to sit down.
After everyone was seated, Shen Jiaqing didn't mince words and asked directly, "You lot are all from the royal family of Yu Kingdom, right?"
