"Just two months ago, a rumor like this suddenly spread in town. My father and I heard about my brother-in-law's leg injury. Later, we went to Taohua Village to look for you. It was Sister Xiao Cui who told us that you and your brother-in-law had gone to seek medical treatment in other places. Later, we saw your brother-in-law's classmates come to see him..."
But now that my brother-in-law is fine, the rumors have been proven false.
"Father-in-law, Su Shen?" Just then, Pei Ji came out of the shower.
"Brother-in-law!" Su Shen hurriedly stood up and greeted him.
Su Zheng looked at Pei Ji's legs.
Pei Ji immediately said, "Father-in-law, my leg injury has healed. I'm sorry you were worried."
Su Zheng nodded: "That's good. Since you're okay, I'm relieved." Then he asked Su Li, "Where's Chu'er? Is she asleep?"
"Dad, this time we went to Qiongzhou to seek medical treatment. The divine doctor Huitian saw that Chu'er was quite talented, so he accepted her as his apprentice. Chu'er now stays in Qiongzhou..."
"Oh?" Su Zheng was surprised. Zhao'er had just been noticed by a great scholar a few months ago and was accepted as his last disciple. He didn't expect that Chu'er was also accepted as a disciple by the genius doctor. The talent and fate of the brother and sister were quite good.
Su Shen looked proud: "I didn't expect that our Chu'er has a talent for studying medicine, hehe!"
After sitting for a while, they saw that it was getting dark, and Su Zheng and the other boy had to hurry home. Today was the official holiday for the private school, and the child's mother was probably still waiting for them to come home for dinner.
Su Li was also afraid that her mother would worry, so she didn't keep them any longer and just said, "I'll go home to see you in two days."
After sending her father and brother out, she also prepared to buy some rice, meat, vegetables and other things to cook dinner at home.
After being away for a few months, the leftover rice at home had already gone bad, and there was no meat or vegetables left.
"I'll go with you." Pei Ji followed her.
"?"
"Carrying rice, didn't you say the rice was spoiled?"
"But the rice shop guy will deliver the rice to your door."
“…”
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Su Li simply changed the subject: "By the way, Ah Shen said that the news of your leg injury having sequelae was spread two months ago. Now, the whole town is saying that you can't take the imperial examination."
Pei Ji frowned slightly, paused and said, "It's okay, my leg injury has healed."
"Do you think someone might have heard the truth about your leg injury and spread it deliberately?"
Suddenly, he remembered seeing his classmate Pei Ji in front of the clinic the day before he went to Qiongzhou, so he asked, "That classmate who came to visit you the other day was a tall, slender man with fair skin, peach blossom eyes, and a very handsome appearance. What was his name?"
She vaguely remembered that among the people that day, he was the only one with peach blossom eyes, and his appearance was the most outstanding among them, making it easy for people to notice him at first glance.
"He's very handsome?" For some reason, Pei Ji felt a little strange when she praised another man, but he still replied honestly, "It should be Zhao Xingwen. Why did you mention him suddenly?"
It turns out that he is "Chen Shimei" Zhao Xingwen!
Su Li was surprised for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that it was because of his good looks that he attracted the noble ladies in the capital to be obsessed with him.
Just like Pei Ji.
Su Li looked at him sideways.
Tsk tsk!
This is even more so! She is so beautiful that the perverted and vicious female supporting role directly brings disaster to his entire family, and her current identity is exactly one of his "entire family"...
"What's wrong?"
Cough cough!
"The day before we went to Qiongzhou, I went to the clinic to ask about your leg injury. I saw him coming out of the clinic alone. At that time, they had just left our house not long ago."
Pei Ji thought for a moment and said, "Zhao Xingwen is not from this town. If he wants to see a doctor, it is unlikely that he would choose an unfamiliar clinic, unless..." Unless he is seeing a doctor for some illness that is not easy to show to others, then it is possible that he would choose a clinic that no one knows.
He looked at Su Li, and it seemed difficult to say these words, so as not to offend her ears.
"Unless he went to see the incurable disease?"
“…”
Pei Ji blinked and said uncomfortably, "It's also possible that Zhao Xingwen went to inquire about my injury."
Based on his understanding of him, Zhao Xingwen was not a decent person and his attitude towards him was always false. Moreover, he had always been number one and was always better than him in everything, so it was inevitable that he would be jealous of him. It would not be surprising if he went to the clinic to inquire about his injuries and spread rumors.
"But after all, without any real evidence, I can't make a conclusion. Fortunately, I'm fine now, so there's no need to dwell on it."
Su Li nodded and warned, "No matter who it is, the Spring Examination is approaching. Anyone who is suspicious should be on guard. It's always better to be careful."
Pei Ji didn't know, but she knew it very well. In the original novel, Zhao Xingwen was a ruthless man who hired assassins to kill his wife and children for the sake of his official career. If he was jealous of Pei Ji for being superior to him and did something to prevent Pei Ji from taking the imperial examination, wouldn't she be surprised at all?
Pei Ji's lips curled up unconsciously, and he responded softly, "I'll pay attention..."
Seeing that they had arrived at the rice shop, the two ended the topic, bought rice, and went to the market to buy various meats and vegetables.
After dinner in the evening, Su Li went to bed early. She was really tired after traveling all the way, and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
Pei Ji read until late at night.
The next morning, when Su Li got up, she suddenly remembered that Pei Zhao and Pei Chuer were not around, and she immediately felt much more relaxed.
Oh my God, from now on, she doesn’t have to take care of the baby!
She doesn't have to get up early to dress her children, make breakfast for them, or teach them to read!
She has returned to the modern and carefree days of being single in her previous life!
Roar, roar, roar!
Su Li was in a very good mood and woke up humming a song.
