"No, but did anyone tell you anything?" Shen Su couldn't help but ask, and at the same time, a murderous intent surged in his heart. If the Jiang family set their sights on Miaomiao, he would make them regret coming into this world.
Shen Huaixu didn't know what Shen Su was thinking, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She propped her chin up with her hand and looked up at the night sky lit up by fireworks. "No, I read a storybook a while ago, and it said that wealthy families like you to arrange marriages for children."
Chen Su endured it again and again, and finally said helplessly: "Stop reading the storybooks."
Jiang Erlang's ears twitched slightly. Based on his understanding of Ah Xu, this set of words must be perfunctory to Lord Shen, but he couldn't figure out why he suddenly asked this question.
Chen Huaixu shook his head and erased the matter of child marriage from his mind.
She was just curious. The Jiang family had gone to the trouble of finding Shen Su's daughter, so they should have made some profit. Where would the profit come from? It would naturally come from a marriage. Then she thought that maybe a marriage had already been arranged.
Those were all things from her previous life, and she might not know the answers to the questions in her heart.
After the Lantern Festival, Shen Huaixu took his seat in the Qingnang Pavilion again, and Shen Su had no intention of leaving Beichuan County.
County Magistrate Chen was on pins and needles the whole day. After all, he was the most powerful one in Beichuan County. Now that he had a superior who was so many levels higher than him, he became much more diligent than before.
During the New Year holidays, he went to deliver gifts and asked Lord Shen in a very obscure way when he would leave. Lord Shen's answer was flawless. Sitting in the carriage on the way back, he thought about it and said nothing.
How come military generals have so many tricks up their sleeves!
"Dad, when will you return to Huaizhou?" In the new house outside the city, Shen Huaixu looked at Shen Su who was watering the flowers in the greenhouse and asked.
Chen Su stood up straight, "Why? You want to go to Huaizhou with Daddy?"
Shen Huaixu shook her head. Actually, Chen Xuanming asked her, so she asked Shen Su as well.
She had a sly smile on her face: "Daddy, are you hiding from the Jiang family?"
"Why should I hide from them? They should be the ones hiding." He Su walked over to sit next to Shen Huaixu. "The building is about to collapse. After all, this is the place where I was born and raised. I just can't bear to see it with my own eyes."
"Aren't you afraid that they will find this place?" Shen Huaixu was not optimistic about this matter.
"As long as they dare to come."
Shen Huaixu didn't expect that instead of the Jiang family coming, someone from the palace came.
She hurried back to her house outside the city from Qingnang Pavilion. She knelt on the ground and listened to the eunuch read the long imperial edict in a shrill voice. She was still a little dazed when she stood up.
"Lord Shen, long time no see. I hope you are well." The eunuch in casual clothes changed his gloomy expression and said to Shen Su with a smile on his face.
Chen Su bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, eunuch. You seem to be as strong as before."
"Ah!" Eunuch Xi waved his hands and said, "I'm just an old man."
He leaned in closer and said, "I remember feeling the Marquis's pulse before. It was so frustrating. I never imagined he would be so healthy now. Even the burns on his face have healed. I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him just now!"
Chen Su said calmly, "My daughter once had a master who I think was a reclusive master. Before she left, she left some ointment for me. I never thought it would have such miraculous effects."
Eunuch Xi's gaze fell on Shen Huaixu, who was very tactful and stepped forward to greet him.
Eunuch Xi smiled and nodded. "I've heard that Miss Shen has regained her youth at such a young age. It turns out she has a master. I wonder where your master is now?"
"Master, she didn't care about worldly affairs. She only taught me for half a year, left me some medical skills and prescriptions, and then left without a carefree life. Even I couldn't find her whereabouts."
"I see. It's a pity that we haven't been able to meet. Miss Shen, could you please take my pulse? I've been traveling a lot lately and I'm a little tired." Eunuch Xi looked at Shen Su, "What do you think, Lord Shen?"
Shen Su quickly glanced at Shen Huaixu, and when he saw her nod slightly, he said, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch. It's windy outside, please go inside first."
After a series of examinations, Shen Huaixu pondered for a moment before saying, "Father-in-law's spleen and stomach aren't very good. It's probably due to acclimatization. It's just that he seems to have had a long-standing cold syndrome, especially in his lower limbs. I'm afraid he's having trouble with the cold weather."
Eunuch Xi nodded with satisfaction, "Everyone who works in the palace has some problems, so there's nothing to be afraid of."
Chen Huaixu said hurriedly, "Father, you are wrong. The cold has penetrated into the bones, which is a fatal disease. If we take care of it now, it may be possible to remove the cold poison. Father, don't you want to give it a try?"
Eunuch Xi was silent for a moment, “Then can our family shamelessly ask Miss Shen for a prescription?”
"You are too kind, eunuch. This is just a doctor's job." Shen Huaixu quickly wrote down two prescriptions on paper and gave detailed instructions.
Eunuch Xi carefully put away the two prescriptions and said, "We have to return to the capital early to report to His Majesty. Lord Shen and Miss Shen had better leave for the capital the next day or two."
Chen Su gave Chen Huaixu a look, and Chen Huaixu understood what he meant and immediately bowed and took his leave.
Fu Tuan appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto Shen Huaixu's shoulder.
Xiaoman looked at her young lady's small body and kept a close eye on her, fearing that she would be crushed by this ball.
[Host, host, would you like me to repeat it to you? ]
[No, my dad will tell me.]
[Humph, having a dad is awesome.]
Chen Huaixu said "hmm" absentmindedly, walked into his room, took off his cloak, and stared at the points in a daze.
[There are many medicinal herbs in the capital. How about I go there to buy some rare herbs?]
Fu Tuan was puzzled: "You're not short of points right now, and you're still seeing patients all day. Why do you need so many herbs? Are you going to give them to me?"
Chen Huaixu said disdainfully: [You're increasingly forgetting what your job is. The world is so dazzling, and it's even dazzling you.]
[The main system doesn't even urge you, so why should I bother to urge you? Slacking off is the greatest pleasure of life...]
They argued for a while, and Chen Su's arrival signaled the start of a break.
"Dad, can you tell me what's going on with His Majesty?"
Shen Su's expression was somewhat solemn. "Your Majesty's health seems to have reached the end of its strength."
"Is it that serious?" Shen Huaixu was infected by Shen Su's emotions and couldn't help but frowned. "Then wouldn't our trip to the capital be in vain and even a sin?"
"Eunuch Xi said that all the famous doctors in the world have gathered in the capital, but no one can make His Majesty's health better. His Majesty has become disheartened and asked us to come just to see you."
"Look at me?" Shen Huaixu was surprised. Was she some rare treasure? Why was he looking at her?
"Maybe it's because I always mentioned his wife and children to him when we were in the barracks, so he got curious."
