Disfigured Female Doctor 17
The three of them walked into the house, talking and laughing. The little girl in their arms was sleeping soundly, and they smiled at each other.
Chen Wanyue didn't eat, saying that she had already eaten and went to check on Xiaoya, and went back to her room.
That's how today passed.
Chen Wanyue felt melancholy. The "key person" that Uncle Zhang mentioned was still in Tanzhou, so she had to go back.
Looking at Xiaoya who was sleeping soundly on the bed, she was wondering about her future.
Why not send it to Uncle Zhang...
She sat on the edge of the bed with her head down thinking: According to Uncle Zhang's attitude towards Zhou Wan, this seems to be the best choice.
There was a gentle knock on the door outside. "Knock knock".
Shen Wanyue straightened her sleeves, stood up, walked towards the door and opened it.
The person who came was Jileta: "Xiang Huan, I have something to tell you." He lowered his voice, worried about waking up the little girl in the room.
"Okay, let's talk outside." She nodded, walked out of the room and closed the door gently.
The courtyard was large, with elm and locust trees planted on one side. The breeze made the leaves rustle.
The two of them sat at the stone table under the tree.
"What do you want from me?" Shen Wanyue asked.
Gillette said, "I'm going somewhere else, so you might be alone here from now on." He was unhappy and hadn't had time to cultivate a deep friendship.
Chen Wanyue thought she was going back to Tanzhou, so she said, "I want to go to Tanzhou too."
Jileta was stunned: "Why are you going back?" Then he realized that he was misunderstood and added, "I'm not going to Tanzhou, I'm going somewhere else."
“Like this…” Shen Wanyue lowered her head slightly.
He thought about the letter from Xiao Zhaoming that he had just read and said, "...Tanzhou is not safe now, so it's better for you not to go back."
Shen Wanyue immediately shook her head. Besides her body being there, there was also a key person.
Jileta wanted to persuade her, but swallowed his words in the end: "My people have to escort the herbs back, you go all the way. But what about Xiaoya?" Even if she wanted to stay here, there were not enough people.
She said, "Don't worry, I will send her to Uncle Zhang."
"Okay." Jileta pursed her lips into a line, feeling weird in her heart.
We have to separate before we even get to know each other.
As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence, with only the croaking of frogs in the pond.
"Gileta!" A resounding voice broke the silence.
Jileta looked back and saw that it was Xiao Zhaoming's men.
"What's wrong?" Didn't I just deliver the letter?
The man came up to him and signaled with his eyes that there were outsiders present.
Chen Wanyue stood up and made up an excuse: "I'm leaving first, Xiaoya is still in the room."
"good."
After she left, Xiao Zhaoming's man took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Jileta.
"Why is there more?" Jileta was puzzled, but still opened it to take a look.
The man explained: "It was just delivered."
"Let me see." He unfolded the paper. It was written by Xiao Zhaoming himself.
After reading the above content, he was actually a little happy, but he didn't show it. He pretended to cough twice: "Ahem, Zhaoming asked me to go back? But the amount of medicinal materials..."
The man had no expression on his face as he stated the fact, "I don't know about that. Perhaps there are more urgent matters in Tanzhou." Of course, his master told him the reason, but he had to hide it from the person in front of him.
Jileta hummed lightly and continued to ask: "Did he tell you what to do?"
"The young master asked me to continue staying in Danzhou. He will let other people find a way to deal with the medicinal materials." Xiao Zhaoming still had a dead face, which made him have no desire to continue the conversation.
But I haven't had the time to write to Xiao Zhaoming yet, how come he already knew about it?
"Oh oh.....he knows that there are not enough medicinal materials in Danzhou?!" Jileta was stunned.
Xiao Zhaoming's men nodded and said, "Yes, I selected you when you came." They also reported it to their master.
Jileta breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, Xiao Zhaoming must have thought of it before me.
There are so many of Xiao Zhaoming's spies in Danzhou, maybe they know some news earlier than he does.
"Then I will set off tomorrow." The letter said that the sooner they return, the better. Also, Xiang Huan just said that he was going back to Tanzhou, so it would be a good opportunity for them to go together.
It was indeed the guidance of God, he and Xiang Huan were indeed destined to be together!
Gillette quickly came out of her own thoughts, and the letter also said...let her make a big splash.
Although he was a foreigner, the emperor gave him special privileges. Except for the borders and important military areas, he could enter and exit other places as long as he was accompanied by a royal relative or an official of the third rank or above.
So Xiao Zhaoming gave him an explanation that he wanted to travel around the beautiful scenery of Dajing.
Everyone in the capital knows that foreign princes are fun, so this reason is tenable.
As a "merchant", it was not excessive for Xiao Zhaoming to come to Tanzhou, a well-known fabric production area, to discuss business.
I guess the letter that Xiao Zhaoming sent to the capital will arrive soon.
"I will stay here." the man added.
Jileta crossed her arms over her chest and said without hesitation, "I'll go clean it up!"
"good."
Unexpectedly, they went in another direction, and Xiao Zhaoming reminded them: "Your room is over here."
Jileta seemed not to hear it, leaving only a blurry back as he happily ran to find Chen Wanyue.
The little girl in the room was not disturbed and was still sleeping soundly.
Shen Wanyue had just returned to the room, and before her buttocks touched the bench, someone knocked on the door again.
This time the noise was louder than last time, and Jileta's voice was heard: "Xiang Huan."
She silently rolled her eyes before opening the door.
Gilleta's eyes were shining, and they looked particularly bright and pure under the moonlight in the dark night.
She asked, "Anything else?"
Jileta laughed twice, suppressed his excitement and said, "I'm going back to Tanzhou too."
She was slightly stunned, but quickly adjusted herself, smiled and said, "Really? What a coincidence."
Gilletta said cheerfully, "Let's go together tomorrow."
"...Okay." Shen Wanyue agreed.
It's always safer to go together than alone.
Tanzhou now might be even more chaotic than when I left.
Gilletta added, "Tomorrow we will first send Xiaoya to Doctor Zhang, and then go find a carriage."
She wondered: "Why do we need a carriage?" She understood that she was the one who mentioned it first.
But hiring a carriage to transport other things?
That's right, otherwise why would he suddenly return to Tanzhou? There must be other important things.
Gilleta said, "You haven't rested for two days yet, and your leg injury hasn't healed yet. If you ride a horse again, you might not be able to walk."
I see.
I never knew that the simple-minded boy could be thoughtful.
Shen Wanyue nodded: "Well, I'll go pack my luggage."
"No hurry." Gilletta said with a smile.
After saying goodbye to each other, she went back into the room and closed the door.
"Sister." Xiao Ya's voice suddenly sounded in the room.
She walked towards the bed and Xiaoya woke up.
"Did you hear that?" Shen Wanyue asked.
The tone was light, but Xiaoya only grasped the key points. In a half-awake state, she heard Brother Jileta and her sister discussing sending her away. Xiaoya didn't know why, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Sister, don't you want Xiaoya anymore?"
Shen Wanyue wanted to answer no without hesitation.
But after opening his mouth several times, he closed it again.
I will have to leave Xiaoya eventually, so it's better to break up sooner rather than later. Maybe Xiaoya won't be too sad this way.
"Xiao Ya knows that it is hard for her sister to raise her, but she has grown up and can take care of her. Please don't abandon her, okay... okay..." The child's tears kept falling as she spoke.
Chen Wanyue didn’t have many things she liked, but she really had a good impression of Xiaoya when she got along with her.
She is sensible, cute and thinks about herself.
"Listen to my sister, Xiaoya. I'm going back to Tanzhou now. You stay here and I'll call you my uncle. He's a kind old man." Chen Wanyue acted very normal.
The more this happened, the more panicked Xiao Ya became. She choked up and said, "Sister... Xiao Ya can go back with you. I'm very brave. As long as I'm with you, it's fine. As long as I'm with you..."
She sighed and said, "I have something important to do. Can you stay?"
The little girl who always listened to her sister cried and said, "No... No."
Chen Wanyue knew that this was the nature of children.
Although she was disobedient, when the little girl clamored to be with her, she actually felt a little warm in her heart. It was the feeling of having someone to rely on and someone who cared about her.
"Listen to me, Xiaoya. My sister's uncle is very old. Xiaoya, you help me take care of him. I will come back." She said gently.
Although she used a negotiating tone, Shen Wanyue thought in her heart: If Xiaoya refused, she would let Jileta tie Xiaoya up and take her over.
Xiao Ya hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed: "...I believe my sister."
"Xiaoya is so nice." Chen Wanyue said sweetly, "Okay, Xiaoya, go to bed early. I will take you to see uncle tomorrow."
The little girl was still unhappy. She wiped away her tears and crawled into the bed, making a dull "hmm" sound.
She laughed helplessly beside the bed: "Good night."
She took off her coat and lay outside.
The little girl on the bed carefully moved her position and separated the quilt.
Shen Wanyue whispered, "It's still a little cold."
The little girl slowly moved towards this side, and finally got into someone's arms, trying to hug her sister with her short arms: "...Are you still cold?"
The childish female voice and the softness in her arms made her laugh again: "Well, it's not cold anymore. What should I do without Sister Xiaoya?"
"Hmph." The child snorted, as if saying: See, you'll know that you can't do without me!
Dark clouds blocked the moonlight and the room was plunged into darkness.
Xiao Ya, who was tired of crying, and Chen Wanyue, who was also exhausted, fell asleep in each other's arms.
——
On the second day, Chen Wanyue was awakened by the sound of rain.
The little girl in her arms was still sleeping, and she got up carefully so as not to disturb the child.
After cleaning up, I opened the window and looked out.
It was not yet daybreak.
The falling rain formed a water curtain-like scene, like a fairyland, hazy and difficult to see clearly.
The scent of soil and grass wafted into her face, penetrating into her nostrils, waking Shen Wanyue up.
She saw a blurry figure walking towards her in the corridor in the distance.
Slowly, I saw who it was: it was Gillette.
So early?
Chen Wanyue nodded slightly to show that she heard it.
