Chapter 323 Meeting on the Day of Recovery
Before noon, Xiao Chengqian went to the Hanlin Academy.
"Brother Guanchen."
When Jiang Guanchen saw the person coming, he thought to himself that it was not good that the news of cousin Yu running away from home had spread so quickly.
"Sir, why are you here? Are you looking for me to have dinner at the Nine-Storied Tower? Probably not, as I need to rush back to the mansion to stay with my grandmother."
Xiao Chengqian smiled and said, "Brother Guanchen is truly filial."
"Ha... I promised grandma before that I would squeeze in time to visit her at noon every day. Grandma's eyesight will recover in four or five days, so I have to go back and help apply the medicine."
Xiao Chengqian: "Congratulations in advance, Sister Yu's medical skills are getting better and better."
Jiang Guanchen said, "My cousin has a lot of medical books, as well as books collected from the public. She'll take them out and read them when she's free. It's mainly because she has talent. Otherwise, just reading without practicing wouldn't work."
"That's right."
"Cheng Qian, I'm done with my work now. Come back with me to the mansion for dinner. My grandmother doesn't know yet that you are Cousin Yu's fiancé."
Xiao Chengqian pursed his lips and smiled, "Perhaps your grandmother doesn't know that Sister Yu is a daughter of the Du family?"
Jiang Guanchen was stunned. "Oh, yes, I'm still hiding it from her. When she recovers, she'll find out that Madam Du is still living in my house."
Xiao Chengqian took the opportunity to ask, "What happened? Why did both the grandfather and the grandson go to your house?"
Jiang Guanchen told him the truth.
"My cousin is no longer a daughter of the Du family. You don't want to marry Du Zhihuan, do you?"
Xiao Chengqian frowned, "What are you talking about? Huanhuan and I are definitely siblings, not romantic lovers. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to change the engagement."
Jiang Guanchen felt relieved.
"The Marquis and his wife are indeed too concerned about Huanhuan. They should pamper and care about Sister Yu more."
Jiang Guanchen raised his eyebrows: "Then you should pamper your cousin more in the future."
"Of course, I won't go back home with you. My mother is in poor health now, and I'm not busy today. I want to go back and accompany her."
"Then let's go out together."
When Xiao Chengqian came out, he immediately caught a glimpse of Yunyan, who was in disguise, standing diagonally opposite him.
After chatting with Jiang Guanchen for a few more minutes, he got in the car and left.
The carriage drove two blocks and stopped at a candy and cake shop.
Yunyan went to buy a bowl of sweet soup and calmly put the note into the hand of her personal guard Awu.
Awu quickly gave the shopkeeper the money, glanced around, and stuffed the candy cake and the note into the window.
Yunyan sat down and asked for a bowl of rice noodles from the neighbor next door.
After reading the contents of the note, Xiao Chengqian thought for a moment, then wrote a new message and handed it to Awu.
"Boss, my young master likes it. Please pack up some glutinous rice cakes." Awu said as he stuffed the note into Yunyan's hand.
"Okay, my lord, please take it."
After Xiao Chengqian left, Yunyan finished her rice noodles leisurely, and when she saw that there were no suspicious people around, she returned to the Song Mansion.
"Donor, you can go back now." The abbot of Huguo Temple handed the fortune slip to Wu Han.
Wu Han's face was haggard at this time, and he was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue.
Wu Han took the signature and looked at it. "Master, what does this mean?"
The abbot looked at him compassionately and said, "This is a very good fortune. Your mother is no longer in danger of death. Go back and see her."
"Really...really?" Wu Han was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes.
The abbot leaned over and helped him up, looking at him with deep and kind eyes, "Monks do not tell lies. From now on, do not do evil, do more good deeds, and give more charity."
The abbot patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Wu Han bowed devoutly before the Buddha again, then limped out of the Huguo Temple, holding his waist.
When Wu Han arrived at the Song Mansion, he just got off the carriage and saw clouds and smoke coming from a distance.
"Yunyan meets the young master."
Wu Han frowned, "What does Miss Du want you to do?"
Yunyan said, "Master, my young lady will live in the Song family from now on. She wants to repay Madam Song for giving birth to her. I have to go back to the yard to tidy up. The young lady is still a little uncomfortable after just coming back."
Wu Han's face was filled with shock. He came to his senses and walked into the yard, going directly to Song Mingzhu's yard.
"Mother, are you okay?"
Seeing that his face was still haggard and his expression was still unhappy, Song Mingzhu said, "Thanks to you, I won't die!"
Wu Han continued, "Has the poison been cured and the threat to his life is over?"
Qiuyue hurriedly said, "Master, Madam is fine now. The old doctor that Suzaku Pavilion found cured her of the poison."
Wu Han's heart finally settled down. "What's going on with Du Zhihuan? Why is she here?"
Qiuyue gave him a brief summary.
Upon hearing this, Wu Han stepped forward and whispered to Song Mingzhu, "You don't really want Du Zhihuan to stay and fulfill her filial duties, do you? She's not your daughter."
Song Mingzhu pursed her lips and said, "She is your half-sister. If you curry favor with her, you might be able to live the rich life you want."
"Mother, I truly know I was wrong." Wu Han knelt before the bed and spoke sincerely. "I will no longer consider those devious ways. I will be a sincere teacher. I beg you to forgive me and give me another chance to be your son."
Song Mingzhu saw that he was sincere and thought that perhaps what had happened could make him change.
But it is difficult to change one's nature.
His half-sister lives in this house.
"Get up, I'm tired and need to rest."
"Then mother, take a rest first and come to accompany you later."
After Wu Han left, he went around to the courtyard where Du Zhihuan was staying.
I saw that the maids and old women around Du Zhihuan were all doing their jobs.
Wu Han couldn't help but frown. Was Du Zhihuan really willing to give up her status as the daughter of the Du family to be his sister?
Although Song Yu came but did not take any action, the agreement does not count.
Does she have to wait until her mother recovers before returning to the Du Mansion?
Du Zhihuan went to look for Song Mingzhu after returning from school.
"Mom, how are you today?"
Song Mingzhu looked at Du Zhihuan with distress in her eyes and said slowly, "It's better than yesterday, but I've wronged you. You should go back to the Du family. Only in the Du family can you find a good husband. There's no future for you if you follow me."
Du Zhihuan coaxed her, "Mom, I know you're doing this for my own good and you love me. You gave birth to me, and now that you're going through this hardship, I'll definitely stay by your side. As for my adoptive parents, I'll naturally repay them when the time comes. I'm a third-rank noblewoman now, so even if I don't take the first-rank exam, I can still marry into a good family. Don't worry about anything else, just take good care of yourself and get well soon."
Song Mingzhu smiled with relief, "Go back and have a rest, you've been tired all day."
After Du Zhihuan left, the smile on Song Mingzhu's face was replaced by a look of confusion.
Du Zhihuan really treated her as her biological mother and cared about her so much that she couldn't bear to be cruel to her.
But she also suffered misfortune because of Du Zhihuan!
Qiuyue knew what she was thinking from her expression, "Madam, I've found the medicine. Let's start working on it in the next two days."
"Wait a little longer, until I recover."
When Du Zhihuan returned to her room, Yunyan handed her the note.
"Miss, what did Prince Xiao say? Does he want to see you?"
"My brother said that Madam Jiang will be able to see again in four days. Let's meet at the old place on that day."
Yunyan said, "There were no classes at Fenggong Academy that day. It was a really good day. No one would notice."
Du Zhihuan: "We must not let our guard down. We must go see Yang Xu that day."
