Chapter 242 Why are my brothers here?
The divine physician Shen had seen many strange and unsavory people, so it wasn't surprising that Xie Yunchuan had such a temperament at such a young age.
Xie Yun sighed again: "Then what should we do? Now Chuncao doesn't want to go back either. What exactly does Doctor Shen mean? Is he going to give her to us?"
Xie Yunchuan calmly poured himself a cup of tea: "We'll find out what it means in a moment."
"Wait? Do you think Doctor Shen would come looking for us?"
"I don't know, but if Doctor Shen is interested, we can wait for news without being in a hurry. If he is not interested, there's no use in being anxious."
Xie Yunchuan frowned. "If Doctor Shen is still unwilling when we leave, we'll reveal our identities and see if there's any room for negotiation."
"good."
After they finished talking, Xie Yunchuan remembered that Shengsheng and Xie Yunqi had been playing outside all afternoon and hadn't returned yet. So Xie Yunchuan asked Shisan to go and find where Shengsheng and Xie Yunqi were.
Thirteen returned shortly afterward, his tone somewhat hesitant.
"Your Highness, the Princess and the Fifth Prince are..."
Xie Yunchuan thought something had happened to the two of them, and his brows furrowed even more deeply in an instant, his tone unconsciously carrying a hint of anxiety: "Where are you?"
Thirteen hurriedly replied, "The princess and the fifth prince are at Doctor Shen's inn, with Doctor Shen."
"What?"
Xie Yunchuan and Xie Yunyang looked surprised. They exchanged a glance, and Xie Yunchuan realized almost instantly that there seemed to be room for maneuver in this matter.
*
At Shen Jiaqing's inn, after modifying the method according to the suggestion "translated" by the little snake, Shen Jiaqing successfully broke through the seed coat of the Dendrobium officinale.
Shen Jiaqing was overjoyed: "It's a success!"
The problem he had been pondering for so long was actually solved by a small snake.
Shen Jiaqing has been a doctor for many years and knows that some animals can be natural "doctors" in nature, but his own experience is different. He kept exclaiming, "I never thought there would be such a clever little snake in the world. Shengsheng, how did you understand what this little snake meant?"
Sheng Sheng smiled gently: "It's a secret."
Shen Jiaqing laughed: "You child, you are really interesting and lovable! But your skill is really fascinating. You can actually get the information you want through animals. If you have the chance, could you teach me?"
Seng Seng thought to himself, "If you knew that I could 'summon' an army of rats, and that I kept a white tiger, wouldn't your jaw drop?"
While Sheng Sheng was being praised, Xie Yunqi felt honored and even happier and prouder than Sheng Sheng herself.
"Of course! Don't you even know whose sister she is!" Xie Yunqi proudly puffed out his chest. "I'd rather not teach you than give you the chance. This is my sister's unique skill. If I teach you... uh."
Xie Yunqi originally wanted to be a little arrogant, but halfway through his sentence he suddenly realized that the person in front of him was the Shen Shen Doctor, whom they had finally managed to meet, so he couldn't be so impolite.
So the words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single sentence for a long time.
Shen Jiaqing asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Judging from the snickers, even a fool could guess what Xie Yunqi was thinking.
"No, no," she said, trying to smooth things over. "My fifth brother meant that we can talk about it another time, right?"
"Oh, right, right, right." Xie Yunqi chuckled awkwardly.
Shen Jiaqing, unsuspecting, laughed and said, "Great! I never thought that at almost thirty years old, I would have two such good friends despite our age difference. This trip was definitely worthwhile."
Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunqi understood each other without asking what Shen Jiaqing meant by those words, what he meant by "it wasn't a wasted trip," or where he came from. Wasn't he from the Yu Kingdom?
Because they all knew it perfectly well.
Seeing that Shen Jiaqing was in a good mood, Sheng Sheng hesitated for a moment, but still decided to bring up the matter of the fourth prince now.
Before speaking, Sheng Sheng felt a little guilty. Although she had initially just wanted to help him out, now that she knew Shen Jiaqing was the Divine Doctor Shen, speaking to him now felt like she was approaching him with ulterior motives.
Especially since she had just helped Shen Jiaqing, if she were to use this gratitude to get something in return, it would seem no different from taking advantage of someone's kindness.
It's just that it's hard to say, but I have no choice but to bring it up.
Because my brother said that so many people have spent a fortune to ask him, the Divine Physician Shen, to treat their illnesses, but he never agrees easily, let alone something as important as the Rejuvenating Herb. He certainly wouldn't give in easily.
Sheng Sheng didn't want Shen Jiaqing to think that way, but in Sheng Sheng's heart, her fourth brother's leg was more important, so what did this little bit of face matter?
If he thinks she's a cunning, opportunistic child who can save her fourth brother's life, then she'd be perfectly willing to be misunderstood.
My brother once said that everything has its gains and losses; you can't always fantasize about having your cake and eating it too.
So be it. As long as the goal of healing the fourth prince's leg is achieved, nothing else matters.
Sheng Sheng gave herself a pep talk and spoke in a clear, crisp voice, her tone becoming much more serious: "Actually, there's something I'd like to ask you."
Shen Jiaqing raised an eyebrow: "Why the sudden seriousness? Do you really want me to treat someone? I treat people based on their willingness, not their wealth. Didn't I just say that you've helped me a lot? You can ask me to treat anyone you want; I'll do my best."
"Well, it's not exactly treating an illness."
"What is that?"
"yes……"
Just as Sheng Sheng was about to speak, she was interrupted by a knock on the door, followed by Zijuan's voice: "Miss, the Second Young Master and the others have arrived."
Sheng Sheng exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? Why are my brothers here?"
Although Shen Jiaqing disliked receiving guests, since he was Shengsheng's elder brother, he was not considered a guest. Therefore, when he met Shengsheng's questioning gaze, Shen Jiaqing nodded and said, "Since he is your elder brother, please come in. Perhaps he is a little anxious because you two haven't been home for too long."
Sheng Sheng blinked and hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything. Just then, her brothers came looking for her. They must have received the news and rushed over.
Oh no, what should we do? It feels like the current situation is increasingly resembling "taking advantage of someone's kindness"?
The Divine Doctor Shen had just met with his brothers that afternoon, and now that they've come in, he knows everything.
He screamed inwardly, his face contorted with grief, and he went to open the door in a low voice.
Oh well, it's good that he figured it out himself. It saves me the trouble of struggling with how to bring it up.
With a do-or-die mentality, Shen Shen opened the door with his eyes closed.
