"Ah, you wicked old man, daring to take advantage of me! You... you're asking for death!~" Shangguan Fang'er shouted.
Xiao Xitian: "???"
Sister Fang'er, why are you suddenly calling yourself "Aijia" (an imperial term)?
Aren't you the reincarnation of the Queen Mother?
Xiao Jinfeng twitched the corner of his mouth, secretly congratulating himself. Fortunately, he hadn't married this princess back then, otherwise, he would have been beaten every day...
Guan Zhongbo covered his eyes and took two steps back, "You, you lunatic, why did you hit me?"
This person is indeed seriously ill, and it seems difficult to treat.
Gu Shi pulled Shangguan Fang'er's hand and smiled, advising, "Fang'er, this is the doctor who came to treat you. Don't be nervous..."
"Mother, he's a pervert. He was looking at me with lustful eyes just now. He clearly has ill intentions!~" Shangguan Fang'er accused.
Guan Zhongbo: "......"
You girl, your words are too harsh!
If I don't feel your pulse and examine you, how can I cure your illness?
"Alas, forget it, since the patient is unwilling to cooperate, I won't bother you!~" Guan Zhongbo rubbed his eyes and walked out.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinfeng quickly stepped forward and grabbed him, "Hey, hey, Doctor Guan, you can't leave. I spent a lot of money to invite you. If you run away, how can I explain it to the patient's family...?"
This matter is getting more and more ridiculous.
He thought Shangguan Fang'er would cooperate with him obediently during the examination, but he didn't expect her to be so afraid of doctors.
Gu Mingyan sat aside, watching the show, glancing at Shangguan Fang'er, then at Xiao Jinfeng.
As soon as they arrived at the Old Yun family, Qing Lan had already discovered Shangguan Fang'er's identity. She never expected a princess of a fallen kingdom to end up in Dashui Village...
It seems the Old Yun family is quite peculiar in some aspects, often attracting many inexplicable people to this place.
Xiao Xitian smiled and persuaded, "Sister Fang'er, I heard Doctor Guan's medical skills are very good. Just let him examine you. Even if he can't cure your illness, you won't lose anything!~"
Hearing this, Guan Zhongbo's old face darkened, and he retorted indignantly, "How can you speak like that, young lady? There is no illness in this world that I cannot cure..."
What a joke! He had been practicing medicine for so many years, and no difficult or complicated disease could stump him, let alone this kind of madness.
Shangguan Fang'er pouted and reluctantly walked up to Guan Zhongbo, "You can only feel my pulse, no touching!~"
Guan Zhongbo: "......"
Good heavens, you really think I'm a pervert.
"Alright, alright, extend your hand!" Guan Zhongbo said helplessly.
At this moment, Yun Daman walked into the room, "Sister, the horse-drawn sled is ready. Let's go to the county town!~"
It just so happened that Jin Xiaolou was going to the county town to deliver milk, so they could go together...
"I know, big brother!" Xiao Xitian replied, slung her small satchel over her shoulder, and ran out.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinfeng quickly followed with Er Longzi.
Gu Mingyan narrowed his cold eyes, casually picked up his cloak, tied it around his shoulders, and strode out the door.
He had to monitor Xiao Jinfeng's every move to prevent him from setting any traps in the dark that would harm the Old Yun family and his nephew...
Outside the Yun family's gate.
Xiao Xitian looked at Gu Mingyan and Xiao Jinfeng speechlessly, rolling her eyes in annoyance, "No, what are you two doing? You're not allowed to follow me!~"
Gu Mingyan said faintly, "Sweetie, you are too young and inexperienced to go to the county town alone. An adult must accompany you!~"
Yun Daman: "......"
Is that what a person says?
Isn't he an adult?
Xiao Jinfeng also smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Yun. Aren't you looking for a craftsman to renovate the shop? I'm familiar with this matter. Shall I take you to find workers?"
Xiao Xitian: "......"
Not at all.
Why did she feel like a prisoner, being followed every day?
"I don't care about you two anymore. If you want to follow, then follow!~" Xiao Xitian was so angry that she turned around and clumsily stepped onto the sled.
After Jin Xiaolou loaded the milk, she wrapped Sister Xitian like a meat dumpling before whipping the horse and setting off with the sled...
Gu Mingyan curved his lips, mounted his horse, and quickly chased after them with Qing Lan.
Xiao Jinfeng, unwilling to be outdone, rode his fine horse and followed closely.
Not long after Xiao Xitian left, Du Tieshan hurried out and looked around at the entrance, "Oh dear, why did Sweetie leave in such a hurry!~"
She had been wanting to find an opportunity to talk to Xiao Xitian. While opening a restaurant in the county town was a good thing, she didn't want to manage the shop with her sister-in-law...
Although the sisters-in-law got along well and rarely argued, as soon as money and interests were involved, their relationship would surely turn sour.
To avoid future quarrels and arguments over a few coins, Du Tieshan decided to let her elder brother and sister-in-law manage the restaurant themselves; she wouldn't get involved...
"Mom, what are you doing standing here?" Yun Xiaobao suddenly appeared behind Du Tieshan, tilting his small head and asking.
Du Tieshan came back to her senses and rubbed Yun Xiaobao's head, "It's nothing. It was too stuffy inside, so Mom came out for some fresh air!~"
Yun Xiaobao listened, blinked his big eyes, observing Du Tieshan's expression. After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Mom, if Dad never comes back, will you take care of me and my brother for the rest of our lives?"
He was still too young, lacking a sense of security and love. And his father had been gone for so long, he was truly afraid of becoming a child without a father...
Hearing this, Du Tieshan's nose felt a little sore, and her heart ached.
She squatted down, tucked in Yun Xiaobao's clothes, and wiped the snot from his nose, "Your father will definitely come back. Don't worry, Xiaobao. Even if your father never returns, Mom will be truly good to you. Mom can swear!~"
"No need, Mom. I believe you!~" Yun Xiaobao said, snuggling into Du Tieshan's arms like a cat, shedding silent tears.
After eating his fill, Old Man Sun went for a stroll in the back garden...
After taking the Western medicine prescribed by Xiao Xitian and the Chinese medicine for calming the nerves and nourishing the brain prescribed by Guan Zhongbo, Old Man Sun's condition was finally under control.
When he arrived at the back garden, Old Man Sun was instantly stunned.
This was hardly a commoner's residence. Just looking at this back garden was almost like a royal garden. Although it was winter, the garden was filled with pavilions, towers, rockeries, and everything else one could want. The scale and architectural style were extremely luxurious...
It seemed a prominent figure had lived here in the past.
In the main hall, Guan Zhongbo finished his diagnosis and slowly released Shangguan Fang'er's pulse.
Seeing his somewhat anxious expression, Gu Shi asked, "Doctor Guan, how is Fang'er's condition? Can she be cured?"
She had expected Guan Zhongbo to ramble on a bit, discussing the illness and such.
Who would have thought he would simply say, "Alas, it's hopeless, all over!~"
Gu Shi: "......"
