In the empty granary, Prajna found a Go set from nowhere. Ever since Huangfu Bin woke up, he'd been playing Go with him whenever he had a free moment. Huangfu Bin, armed with the letters and keepsakes left by Hong Yu, had automatically turned these children into good children.
Just when he was about to leave, the aura of these three people made him, a man who had been dealing with all kinds of masters of the Huangfu family for many years, instantly become timid. He hardly dared to resist and just did whatever they said.
Huangfu Bin looked at the chess game in front of him, the outcome of which was clear at a glance. He sighed slightly and said, "Senior, I don't know how long I will have to stay here. I'm worried about my stubborn son."
While studying the solution, Prajna asked, "Just stay here and wait until they have sorted out everything. They will come to pick you up. Mr. Huangfu, do you think playing chess with me is boring?"
"Senior, you are joking, you are joking." It can't be said that he was boring, but Huangfu Bin wanted to say that he had really tried very hard to let the opponent win, but Prajna's ability to understand the chess game seemed a little worrying.
When Prajna made her move, Huangfu Bin's brows furrowed. Prajna felt that her move was extremely clever, but she didn't realize that one wrong move could lead to a complete loss. "It's Mr. Huangfu's turn now."
"Oh, okay," Huangfu Bin wanted to give him a chance to regret his move, but under Prajna's urging, he could only find a random place to put the chess piece down.
...When the military doctor had written a new prescription for Su Zhirou and was about to pack up and leave, Shi Zairong walked in without any courtesy, scaring both Su Zhirou and the doctor.
“…Grand Master!”
Just as the military doctor was about to kneel down to salute, Shi Zairong helped him up and said with a smile, "Let's skip the formalities. How is Miss Su's health these days?"
The doctor looked at Su Zhirou with great satisfaction and said, "Miss Su has been very cooperative with the treatment. She has almost recovered now. I guarantee you'll be back to full health soon."
Su Zhirou also bowed to Shi Zairong and said, "Thank you very much, Grand Master, for saving my life. I will repay your kindness by working like a slave in the future."
Shi Zairong said, "There's no need to repay the favor. You're a friend Tang Chen values, and you're a friend I value as well. Besides, I have to thank you for risking your life to come here. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to develop the antidote."
"......" Su Zhirou's expression subconsciously changed when she heard others talking about Tang Chen, and was seen by Shi Zairong who had been watching her.
Shi Zairong casually asked as he opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, "Why, judging from the young lady's expression just now, did you remember something?"
Su Zhirou smiled helplessly and said, "It's just bits and pieces, fragments that can't be connected, and they're not very useful."
The doctor saw that Shi Zairong's visit today was probably not just to comfort the patient, and he didn't dare to interrupt. He could only quietly try to reduce his presence and stand aside.
Shi Zairong found a favorite seat and sat down, comforting her, "Don't be too discouraged, young lady. As long as you are determined to recover your memory, God will definitely help you. After all, people like you who are cruel and have a miserable past have been unlucky for so long, and it's time for a change of fortune."
Shi Zairong's words would have struck ordinary people as somewhat unsettling, let alone Su Zhirou, who was being deliberately targeted by him. "...What do you mean, Grand Tutor? I don't quite understand. Grand Tutor, do you know anything about my past?"
Shi Zairong replied, "Of course I know something. If you're interested, I have some time today. How about I tell you slowly?"
Su Zhirou nodded happily and said, "If it's not too much trouble, Grand Master, I'd be happy to do it."
Seeing this, Shi Zairong thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's start with the recent past. You came to me earlier under the name of Tang Chen, probably genuinely seeking medical treatment. But then you suddenly started doing some shameful things..."
Before Shi Zairong could finish, Su Zhirou flew into a rage: "Grand Master, I don't remember much about things further back, but you're going too far in slandering a weak, all-alone woman like me."
Shi Zairong quickly apologized, saying, "I'm sorry, my words weren't organized well. You must have done all those things that happened later, stealing my secret recipe and becoming an accomplice to the evil, all for a man."
The doctor was standing aside, stunned as he listened. Why was Shi Zairong here to cause trouble today? Why was every word he said so full of thorns? He just couldn't understand.
In the doctor's eyes, Su Zhirou was just an innocent bystander caught in Shi Zairong's unprovoked rage. Her behavior told everyone the same thing: "...Grand Master, if you don't want to say it, you don't have to. There's no need to frame me here for no reason. If you feel I don't deserve to be here, I can leave immediately."
When the doctor heard Su Zhirou threaten to leave, he was afraid that she would leave before she was fully recovered, which might make all his previous efforts go to waste. He hurriedly said, "Master, her health..."
Shi Zairong didn't want to hear the doctor say any more, so he waved his hand and signaled him to leave. "Go back and rest first. By the way, please call Ou Yezi for me."
"...Yes," the doctor said, understandingly shutting up and disappearing from the room within seconds. Shi Zairong pressed on, "Why, is it done and you want to get out? Now is a good time. Once you're out, you and Xiahou Qing can spread some rumors, and my marriage to Huijue will be ruined."
Facing Shi Zairong's aggressiveness, Su Zhirou's face was furious, but her eyes were firm, as if she was absolutely sure that she would be fine. "Grand Master, what exactly do you want to say? There's no need to be so secretive. Although I'm just a little woman, I'm also a responsible person. I will definitely admit what I did. If you want to slander me, at least produce some evidence. Don't you think that's a bit too much?"
Shi Zairong smiled and said, "You're right. I actually forgot about that. How can you just say someone is guilty without any evidence?"
When the man who had met Su Zhirou that night appeared in her sight again and tore off the human skin mask in front of her, Su Zhirou's eyes widened: "You, how, how could it be you!"
