Shen Ziyu secretly sized up Cheng Qingyan. His twisted logic and fallacies were presented with seemingly logical evidence; it was truly something else.
Ruan Banxia snorted: "So, with my status, all I can do is ride in an oxcart, huh?"
Meng Chuying laughed out loud not far away. She had already packed her things and was ready to go home at any time.
Yes, we're going home, but it's been a while since we've been back, and Wangcai is homesick.
Joking aside, we can't neglect our serious business.
Cheng Qingyan put down his teacup and said seriously to Ruan Banxia, "I have come here today for two reasons. One is to ask Doctor Ruan to help treat a patient."
"He is probably in his forties or fifties and has been bedridden for a long time due to illness. As for the specific illness, only Dr. Ruan can find out after examining him."
"The second thing is that my new house is finished, and I'm coming to invite you two to come and warmly settle in."
Shen Ziyu and Ruan Banxia said in unison, "Congratulations!"
Cheng Qingyan raised an eyebrow and smiled at Ruan Banxia, "Congratulations, congratulations! We've saved you a room, don't be too touched~"
Ruan Banxia lowered her eyes, not as happy as expected, but she still smiled, though it was a somewhat forced smile.
Is something going on? And it's not a good thing.
Hime Ren is really difficult to deal with.
So, this "Hime-loving straight" thing has existed since ancient times!
This age-old problem has truly remained unsolved for thousands of years! It has not been lost in the long river of history; it is truly tenacious!
But is Shen Tzu-yu truly straight, both in body and mind?
This doesn't look like it at all!
It has to be said, she is indeed quite attractive.
When a person is good-looking and quiet, they resemble a soldier who has sheathed their murderous intent. But when they reveal their ruthlessness, a single glance can instill fear.
However, she was originally a soldier, so it's normal for her to have some ruthlessness about her.
But is Ruan Banxia really up to the task? It's been so long, and she still doesn't have a proper title!
I was going to make a joke, but seeing the atmosphere, I decided to skip it.
Cheng Qingyan silently got up. In the middle of summer, she suddenly felt a little cold: "Well, I brought a hen for Doctor Ruan. It's a good thing for making soup."
"I also brought some vegetables and stuff from the field, Chuying, come help me carry them~"
Meng Chuying put down what she was holding, and Wangcai eagerly followed her.
Looking back, Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu were still sitting, showing no intention of getting up.
Cheng Qingyan pulled Meng Chuying aside and whispered gossip: "Chuying, what's been going on between your master and Brother Shen lately?"
"Why does something seem off between the two of them?"
Meng Chuying glanced at Ruan Banxia secretly, and said to Cheng Qingyan uncomfortably, "I... it's hard to say. Brother Cheng, please don't ask anymore. I'm afraid I might anger Master again."
Well, this really happened.
Even Meng Chuying didn't dare to say it, Shen Ziyu is probably in big trouble.
In front of the children, Cheng Qingyan put away her gossipy expression and straightened her attitude: "Well, I was just worried about your master. Just pretend I didn't ask about this. I'm not that gossipy."
Having spent a lot of time with Cheng Qingyan, she learned the meaning of these new words that she had never heard before, as Cheng Qingyan had explained their meanings.
She chuckled softly, not exposing the adults' self-righteous and ineffective pretense.
Suddenly remembering something, Cheng Qingyan quickly took out a lotus flower she had picked from a basket of vegetables and handed it to Meng Chuying.
"Here, Jiang Jiang repeatedly told me to bring this to you first so you can see it beforehand."
She said she went to town to buy food and couldn't come to pick you up.
"But this is the first lotus flower she picked this year. Let me give it to you on her behalf as an apology for not coming to pick you up."
If Jiang Jiang weren't still so young, Cheng Qingyan would have thought this was Jiang Jiang's way of flirting with impure intentions.
Unbeknownst to her, Jiang Jiang had previously promised Meng Chuying that he would come to pick her up again next time.
This time, however, she didn't come over; instead, she went to town. She felt guilty and sent the gift beforehand so that Meng Chuying wouldn't be embarrassed to question her when they met.
The lotus buds were about to bloom. Meng Chuying lowered her head, sniffed them, and smiled knowingly.
This Jiang Jiang is sometimes surprisingly shrewd for his age, making him unpredictable.
The people in the courtyard saw Cheng Qingyan and Meng Chuying carrying a basket of vegetables into the yard. Not only were there meat and vegetables, but the chickens were also clucking.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Cheng Qingyan was there to deliver goods, not to pick someone up.
Ruan Banxia found a watermelon hidden under a pile of vegetables.
He raised his hand and tapped it a few times: "Brother Cheng, is your melon ripe yet? It's ready to be picked so early?"
Cheng Qingyan smiled and said, "My melons are guaranteed to be ripe, so Dr. Ruan can rest assured."
"These are a few trees that were planted in advance. A few have ripened, so we sent them over to Dr. Ruan to have a taste."
"So, what do you think of my friend? Isn't he loyal enough?"
Ruan Banxia looked at her suspiciously, not quite believing what she said: "Really? You and your sister-in-law haven't eaten it either?"
"Hiss~ I just can't believe it~"
Cheng Qingyan clutched her chest, feigning heartache, even making her voice sound weak: "Ah! My heart aches! I never thought that when I treated you with sincerity, you would stab me in the back!"
"So heartbroken, so incredibly heartbroken!"
A slap landed on his shoulder, and Cheng Qingyan straightened up.
Ruan Banxia said quietly, "Alright, stop pretending, I believe you."
"Let's hurry up and get going, so we don't keep Sister-in-law and Jiangjiang waiting at home."
"Hey? Doctor Ruan, are you really coming with us in the oxcart? That's not a good idea, is it?"
Ruan Banxia stopped and turned around to ask, "What's wrong? Why is it bad?"
Cheng Qingyan stammered, glancing towards the door, "No, it's nothing. You, Dr. Ruan, can sit wherever you want. I'm going to fetch the ox now!"
Before he could finish speaking, he ran off like a gust of wind.
Shen Ziyu stood at the door, without saying a word or making any move.
Ruan Banxia lowered her head and walked past her without stopping, heading straight for the main entrance.
In the end, he sat on the oxcart with Meng Chuying, with Shen Ziyu acting as a guard, riding her horse behind them.
Cheng Qingyan was really itching to eat the melon that was offered to him.
When I get home, I must ask Ruan Banxia what exactly happened between her and Shen Ziyu during this time!
Today was mainly for doctor's appointments and a housewarming party, so naturally we'll be having dinner at our new home!
When Cheng Qingyan finally arrived at the village in the creaking oxcart, he saw a big man and a small boy standing at his doorstep, even though he was still far from home.
Jiang Jiang and Ye Lingyu were already waiting at the door. She quickened her pace, and the oxcart swayed unnaturally.
"Wife~ Jiangjiang, why are you standing at the door?"
Jiang Jiang had already asked her in her mind when she arrived when she came back, but she didn't expect that she was waiting for them at the door in advance.
Ye Lingyu fanned Cheng Qingyan with a fan and replied, "We've been waiting for you. The dishes are almost ready. Chu Ying, Banxia, Ziyu, come inside and cool off."
After tying up the oxcart, Cheng Qingyan went to sit under the big tree in the courtyard to cool off.
