The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Little did he know that Daya had not returned yet, but he had not asked any questions. He only said to Zhao today that people would talk about her behind her back, which was his biggest response to the matter.

What a hypocritical person, Xie Xinghua sneered in her heart. She was already accustomed to such inconsistency.

Jiang Xunzhong was hit hard by Xie Xinghua's sharp words, and a complex emotion of shame and anger suddenly appeared on his face.

He swung his sleeves suddenly and walked out of the room in a disorderly manner, leaving behind a murmur of discussion. His back revealed an expression of escape and unwillingness.

And Xie Xinghua seemed to have shed her former cowardice and submissiveness overnight. Now, her eyes flashed with an unprecedented firmness, and her words were sharp and aggressive. Her confidence and edge were hard to ignore, and she looked even more charming.

Su Yu watched all these changes silently and was secretly amazed.

She thought, maybe this is what people are like. Once the pain points deep in their hearts are touched, the instinct to fight back will sprout like bamboo shoots after the rain. They will learn how to protect themselves without anyone saying much.

The sun was shining and the breeze was not dry. Su Yu's carriage was ready and his luggage was carefully packed and placed.

The destination of this journey is the remote and mysterious Ning County.

She tiptoed into Xier's room and found that the little girl had already gotten up, rubbing her eyes.

Su Yu gently embraced Xier in his arms and gave her a loving kiss as comfort for their temporary separation.

Xier's little face was full of dissatisfaction and grievance because her mother had been leaving early and coming back late in recent days, and she was not interested in anything around her.

Su Yu was very patient. He whispered soothing words and rocked the baby gently, as if he were the most precious treasure.

Finally, when Su Yu promised that when he returned from Ning County, he would find a way to heal Xier's voice and let her have the clear voice of a child again, the little girl's eyes lit up instantly, her joy was beyond words, and she kept giving Su Yu kisses with the scent of milk on his cheeks.

On the other hand, Jiang Ziling's leg injury seemed to be recovering quite smoothly. He was about to say goodbye to the splint and try the gold needle therapy to speed up the healing process.

Su Yu planned to let Xier watch Jiang Ziling receiving treatment, so that the little girl would be less afraid and more brave when it was her turn to face acupuncture.

Before leaving, Jiang Ziling supported the jumping Xier and sent Su Yu to the gate of the courtyard.

His eyes were full of reluctance and concern. Just a simple sentence of "Be careful on the road and come back early" filled the air with an indescribable warmth, as if it was a delicate painting of the parting of a young couple.

Su Yu's heart was gently stirred by this sudden sweetness, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

They traveled all the way, even without riding non-stop, and it took them nearly four hours to finally arrive in Ning County.

The sun was already high in the sky. Su Yu randomly found a small stall on the street and hurriedly ate a bowl of steaming wonton to fill his stomach.

After filling her stomach, she set out again on the journey to Han's mansion, secretly looking forward to meeting the lively Yaoguang again.

However, when the door opened, what came into view was not the familiar face, but a strange servant, who was neatly dressed and his behavior revealed the rigor of well-trained.

"Who are you looking for? What can I do for you?"

The servant asked politely, a hint of wariness in his voice.

Su Yu replied with a smile and explained the purpose of his visit - he came specifically for the follow-up visit of Madam Young Master and hoped to notify the relevant personnel to receive him.

Upon hearing this, the servant's expression froze, and he immediately turned around respectfully and went into the mansion to report.

After a moment, Yaoguang walked out quickly. Compared with before, he was in high spirits and dressed decently, no longer wearing the rough cloth he wore before. Even the gatekeeper was respectful to him. It was obvious that his status had improved.

Yaoguang could not hide his excitement at the joy of reunion. He knew very well that his promotion was inextricably linked to Su Yu.

Under Su Yu's guidance, he successfully treated the old lady and was appreciated.

At this moment, he personally arranged for the servant to look after the horses and led Su Yu through the winding corridor to the backyard.

The scenery along the way was pleasant, and the two talked as they walked, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

"Which department are you working in now? It seems like you are doing very well!"

Su Yu asked curiously, his tone full of appreciation.

Yaoguang scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled innocently, "It's all thanks to you, Doctor Su. That time I asked you to treat the old lady's facial scars. Afterwards, the lady praised me for my wit and asked Uncle Qi to take me in as his apprentice and train me."

"Qi Er? Is he the chief steward of the Han Mansion?"

Su Yu was a little surprised. You know, Qi Er is a very important figure in the mansion. It is undoubtedly a great fortune to be promoted by him.

Su Yu's heart moved slightly, and his impression of Qi Er deepened quietly. After all, on that stormy day, it was he who generously donated money to pay the hefty medical fee that day. Such an action was particularly valuable in this world where money is paramount.

"Indeed."

Su Yu responded softly, with a barely perceptible warmth in his eyes.

"Excellent! It seems that Madam is not only an excellent doctor, but also has the generosity to support the younger generation."

There was a sincerity in the other party's praise, which made the surrounding atmosphere more harmonious and warm.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the exquisite courtyard where the old lady lived.

Before I could get close, a hearty and energetic laughter penetrated the air and came slowly, as if it could instantly dispel the haze in people's hearts.

The joy revealed in this laughter can make people feel a sense of vitality even through the courtyard wall.

Yaoguang swiftly took a few steps forward, deftly pushed open the half-open gate, and then respectfully reported inside.

After a moment, the old lady's kind and enthusiastic voice came out like a spring breeze.

"Oh, it turns out that it is Doctor Su who has come to visit my humble abode. It is truly an honor for me. Please come in, please come in!"

Su Yu paused and saw that the old lady was wearing luxurious yet simple clothes. Besides her gentle son and dignified daughter-in-law, she was also accompanied by the young tutor who usually didn't care about worldly affairs but only cared about power.

The grand occasion surprised Su Yu a little, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

She knew very well that she might need the help of Master Young Master today, so she immediately smiled. That smile was just right, neither impolite nor seemingly friendly and natural.

"Madam, Master Young Master, Madam Young Master, I am honored to be here."

Upon hearing this, Madam Young Master almost couldn't wait to hold Su Yu's hand, her eyes flashing with excitement and joy that were difficult to conceal, as if she had met a close friend whom she hadn't seen for many years. This excessive enthusiasm made Su Yu a little at a loss for a moment.

"Why did you come early? I haven't prepared anything..."
