Cheng Qingyan had seen Shen Ziyu in action before, and she knew in her heart that she wouldn't last more than a few moves against Shen Ziyu now.
Why invite humiliation upon yourself? It's better to give up early.
Before she could even speak, Shen Ziyu had already gone out first, and she could only resignedly follow.
The courtyard wasn't entirely paved with stone slabs; Shen Ziyu stood on a flat patch of grass waiting for her.
Neither of them used weapons. Cheng Qingyan steeled her heart, thinking that at worst she would be kicked or thrown out, it wouldn't be a big deal!
You can lose a fight, but you can't lose your spirit!
Jiang Jiang clapped his little hands and shouted from a short distance away, "Go, Daddy! Daddy is the best!"
Cheng Qingyan kept her expression steady, her demeanor perfectly controlled.
They took their stance and attacked Shen Ziyu.
Shen Ziyu stood still, merely dodging her attack by turning to the side, without retaliating; otherwise, she might have been sent flying.
Gradually, Cheng Qingyan relaxed. She knew in her heart that Shen Ziyu would not hurt her; it was Shen Ziyu who should be the one to be cautious.
As for her, all she needs to do is attack without thinking; she doesn't need to think much at all.
Finally, amidst Shen Ziyu's agile movements, Cheng Qingyan punched her.
In her moment of smugness, she became careless and her defenses faltered, allowing Shen Ziyu to easily take her down.
There was grass on the ground, and Shen Ziyu didn't throw her hard, so it didn't hurt much.
"Wife, prepare some water; I'm going to take a bath later!"
"Brother Chen, let's go again!"
It's definitely more interesting to spar with a master.
The previous humiliation of those few people in Yuanning County was like cutting melons and vegetables, which didn't make much sense.
Only by sparring with Shen Ziyu can she know where her weaknesses lie and where she needs to work on her skills.
Shen Ziyu said he was testing her skills, but in reality he was practicing with her.
She knew what she was doing, so she didn't stop until she was covered in sweat.
The bathroom wasn't large, but there were three rooms, so she and Shen Ziyu didn't have to wait in line to shower. At that moment, she really gave herself a thumbs up for her foresight.
She couldn't accept sharing a bathtub with Hongyu and Muzhiyue, so she and Ye Lingyu built two more bath rooms.
The bathroom rooms are just made a little smaller, but everyone has their own bathtub, which makes it much more hygienic.
When Cheng Qingyan came out again, Shen Ziyu had already changed into the clothes they had prepared in advance, and Cheng Qingyan had also changed into a loose-fitting robe.
She now understands that today she won't go to the fields or catch chickens, and wearing loose clothing with large sleeves won't be a problem.
It's cooler this way, and when she eats the fermented vegetable soup, her sleeves slide down to her arms as soon as she raises her hand.
But then Shen Ziyu suddenly grabbed her arm. What was she doing?
Is it illegal to show your arms?
She looked at Ye Lingyu, who had already stood up and come to Cheng Qingyan's side.
Ruan Banxia cleared her throat: "Why are you grabbing Brother Cheng's arm? There's no rule in our country that says men can't show their arms, is there?"
Shen Ziyu realized her lapse in composure and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure for a moment."
Cheng Qingyan lowered his sleeve and pulled it to his wrist: "It's nothing, it's nothing. But Brother Chen, what happened just now? Is there something wrong with me?"
Shen Ziyu glanced at Cheng Qingyan's covered arm and asked, "Brother Cheng, how did you get the wound on your forearm?"
"Oh, this? I don't know. This scar has been here as long as I can remember."
Thinking of that alluring red mole, Cheng Qingyan frowned and continued, "It's strange, really. Such a big scar, and there just happens to be a red mole growing next to it."
A rare look of excitement appeared in Shen Ziyu's eyes. She was afraid of being presumptuous, but she was also unsure if she didn't. So after hesitating, she finally decided to speak.
"Brother Cheng, may I take another look at that scar?"
Cheng Qingyan raised her arm directly, the wide sleeve slipping down, and stretched out her arm: "Hey, it's no big deal, look, can you see clearly? Do you want me to move over?"
Shen Ziyu quickly said, "No need, no need, this is fine."
She carefully memorized the shape and details of the scar, and then examined the location of the mole, silently keeping it in her heart.
No wonder I searched for so long in and around Kyoto and couldn't find it back then; it turns out it ended up here.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng. I was being presumptuous today."
Cheng Qingyan didn't care at all: "What's the big deal? But why are you suddenly interested in my scar?"
After careful consideration, Shen Ziyu decided that the matter was not yet settled and she could not tell Cheng Qingyan.
"I'm sorry, Brother Cheng, I can't tell you right now."
"Once I've confirmed it, I'll let you know immediately."
Ye Lingyu's heart was in turmoil. Shen Ziyu knew the reason for the scars and moles on Cheng Qingyan's arm.
She was a general, a member of the Marquis's household. She shouldn't have had any connection with Cheng Qingyan before they met in Mengjia Village.
I've been married to Cheng Qingyan for four years now, unless the incident happened four years ago.
Judging from Shen Ziyu's expression, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing. What exactly is it?
I dare not think about it, but I cannot help but think about it.
Cheng Qingyan is now her husband and Jiang Jiang's father. Things related to her are also inextricably linked to her and Jiang Jiang.
It seems she needs to do some things in advance.
Of course, Cheng Qingyan was unaware of these things.
She had no recollection of the scar or mole, so she didn't pay it any mind.
Unbeknownst to them, two of the people present were already deeply troubled.
After finishing the fermented vegetable soup, they rested for a while. Cheng Qingyan then took Ruan Banxia to treat Meng Aji's mother.
When they arrived at Meng Aji's house, they found that Meng Aji's door was not closed.
Mr. and Mrs. Chen were also there. When they saw Cheng Qingyan arrive with his people, they stood up awkwardly.
"Brother Chen and his wife are here too. Ah Ji, this is my good friend, Doctor Ruan. He is a very skilled doctor."
Xia Zhenzhen accepted the gift brought by Ye Lingyu on behalf of Meng Aji. Meng Aji had already boiled water and was waiting for Cheng Qingyan to bring the doctor over.
After exchanging greetings, the tea that had been prepared in advance was brought out.
"Thank you for making the special trip, Dr. Ruan. Please have some tea."
This tea was borrowed from Mr. Chen's house.
Ruan Banxia frowned slightly. The room reeked of medicine, even more unpleasant than her medicine hut.
He took the tea that Meng Aji handed him and took a small sip.
I don't know if it's because I just ate something sweet, but this tea tastes unusually bitter.
Ruan Banxia put down her teacup and said to Meng Aji, "Stop your busy work and take me to see the patient."
"Oh, this way please. The room is a bit messy, please don't mind."
"It's alright, just make sure the room is well-ventilated, it's good for the patient."
As Meng Aji led the person toward the bed, he replied, "You're right, I certainly will, I certainly will."
The room was dimly lit and damp, and for someone who had been bedridden for a long time, there was always a lingering odor.
However, this house is not suitable for patients to live in for a long time.
