Shen Yaozu was shocked: "...What did you say?!" She told him to die?
Shen Qiyin regained her usual calm demeanor and said casually, "I was just joking with my brother. Look at you, you actually took it seriously."
"How could I bear to let my brother die?" He had to live well.
Living is torture!
For some reason, even though Shen Yaozu saw her gentle smile, a chill inexplicably rose in his heart.
This is weird.
"...Stop talking about death and life all the time, it's bad luck." Fearing that Shen Qiyin might say something shocking again, Shen Yaozu quickly changed the subject: "By the way, tell me what you want, and I'll find it and bring it to you."
Shen Qiyin replied, "I have to think of these things myself, what use are you to me?"
"...Okay, okay, I'll think of it, I'll think of it, alright?" My goodness!
"Is your brother struggling?"
"How could this be!" Shen Yaozu suppressed his anger and forced a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Then tell me quickly, what is the second line?"
No rush.
"I'm in a hurry!"
“I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush.” Shen Qiyin argued, “My elder brother has just passed the imperial examination and is currently the center of attention. If you were to respond to Lord Xiao’s couplet at this time, people might misunderstand and think you’re deliberately trying to steal his thunder.”
"If you ask me, it's better to wait until his initial enthusiasm has died down before my brother makes a name for himself. That way, he'll attract even more attention."
Shen Yaozu felt that what she said made sense.
After thinking it over again, I figured this girl wouldn't budge until she saw the item, so I decisively said, "Okay! I'll do as you say."
"Wait here, I'll prepare a thank-you gift for you right away!"
After saying that, he left like a gust of wind.
Honeysuckle, with a disdainful expression, leaned closer and said, "No wonder he's so generous; his true colors have finally been revealed."
"A big spender?" Shen Qiyin sneered. "He wouldn't be willing to spend that much."
"But isn't this the rouge from Pink Butterfly Pavilion?"
"The box containing the rouge is indeed from Pink Butterfly Pavilion, but the cosmetics inside may not be."
Based on her understanding of Shen Yaozu, this rouge was most likely fake.
However, even fakes have their uses.
After casually tossing the items into her makeup box, Shen Qiyin tidied herself up a bit and then went out with Ren Dong.
When they arrived at Guangrentang, Ah Huang excitedly circled around her as soon as he saw her, barking occasionally, looking very happy.
Chen Xiyin paused slightly, looking at Da Zhuang who was busy at work, her beautiful, arched eyebrows slowly furrowing.
No, it's been three days already, why hasn't he left yet?
His gaze shifted slightly, then fell back on the third child.
This person is also...
He used to disappear for ten days or half a month, but ever since the Mid-Autumn Festival, he has been seeing patients here from morning till night, and even staying overnight.
This is weird.
When Dazhuang saw her, he immediately put down what he was doing and came to greet her.
His face was covered in a beard, so you shouldn't be able to see his expression, but Shen Qiyin felt that he was showing a bit of eagerness.
"You've come at the perfect time, let's have lunch together."
"...You guys eat, I ate before I left." I always felt that banquets were never good.
Dazhuang, however, did not give up: "It would be good to sit together and talk."
Shen Qiyin felt increasingly uneasy.
Although my senior brother is gentle in his dealings with people, he is not enthusiastic and is very reserved. Why is he acting so strangely today?
They sat down with "worried expressions," each with a different look on their faces, clearly harboring their own thoughts.
Chunsheng was the first to speak.
He first glanced at the third brother across from him, then awkwardly said, "When is the third leader going home? I... I don't want to sleep in the same room as him..."
Dazhuang: "Why?"
Upon hearing this, Chunsheng immediately felt aggrieved: "He keeps yelling in the middle of the night, and I wake up several times a night, so I can't sleep well at all."
Sanwa lowered his head with a look of shame: "...I'm sorry."
“I…I also have something to say…” He lowered his head deeply, his ears turning bright red: “From now on, I will not leave. The clinic will be my home.”
"What?!" Chunsheng was shocked to hear the "bad news," his face turning as if he had lost his parents.
As the eldest among them, Dazhuang naturally bore the responsibility of comforting his "younger siblings," so he said to Chunsheng, "Then you can move in and sleep with me."
"Then I'll sleep with the third leader."
"..."
Shen Qiyin looked over curiously.
Chunsheng lowered his voice and told her, "Second Master, you have no idea, the First Master's snoring is like a firecracker!"
“Once I was woken up in the middle of the night and hurriedly got up to bring in the clothes drying in the yard. I thought it was thunder and rain, but it turned out to be him snoring.”
"Pfft—" Sanwa spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.
Shen Qiyin also tried to purse her lips tightly, attempting to suppress her smile.
Da Zhuang's face was surrounded by a thick beard, so it was impossible to tell whether he was blushing or not. He just coughed awkwardly twice and changed the subject stiffly, saying, "Ahem, let me say a few words."
"Didn't I say a couple of days ago that I was going on a long trip..."
"That's right! Boss, why haven't you left yet? When are you leaving?"
"...I'm not leaving."
"Really?!" Chunsheng was immediately delighted: "It's great that you're not leaving! The second and third leaders both have their own homes to return to. If even you leave, Chunsheng will only have Ah Huang left."
"It's good that you stayed."
Sanwa was also very excited: "I was thinking that I had just arrived and my senior brother was about to leave. We brothers have never been together. Now it's all good."
