The next morning, at dawn, the cocks crowed and women came out with baskets on their shoulders. Taking advantage of the cool weather, they went to the river in groups of three or five to wash clothes.

The protagonist of today's topic is naturally Ye Xiuying. A nobleman in gorgeous clothes entered her house and never came out, especially with the grand scene of the luxurious carriage yesterday. Anyone would be curious about the man's identity.

Little Liu, who is known as the gossiper in Crescent Moon Village, has already found out some gossip. Several women came closer and said in a low voice, "I'm going to tell you the truth, but you must not spread it. The nobleman yesterday was none other than Ye's husband Wen Liang!"

When the women heard this, they all expressed their disbelief. Jia, whose eyes were slits, said, "Don't talk nonsense in broad daylight. I thought you really found out."

When Xiao Liu heard this, she was unhappy. How could her information be wrong?

"You don't believe it? I was walking outside with my child yesterday, and I heard the old lady from the Wen family coming out of Ye Xiuying's house cursing from a distance. From what she said, it seemed that Wen Liang passed the imperial examination and is now returning home in glory."

Bai, whose hair was combed neatly and slicked back, shuddered after hearing this: "Oh, sister, please don't say that. I got goose bumps when I tried it." As she said that, she rolled up her sleeves to show everyone that her arms were really covered with goose bumps.

Jia pursed her lips and said, "When you say that, I feel terrified too. Wen Liang has been dead for a year. He fell into the water and was washed away. There is no trace of his body left."

"Hey? You still don't believe me. Wen Liang is back. He fell into the water but didn't drown. It's hard to say whether he was rescued by someone. Anyway, he is back and he passed the exam to become a scholar. If you don't believe me, go ask Song Jiao. She also went to Ye Xiuying's house yesterday." Little Liu said seriously.

Mrs. Bai sneered, "Song Jiao's mouth is so tight that you can't even get a needle in. No one can get anything about the Wen family from her."

Jia said, "If that were the case, wouldn't Ye Xiuying be the wife of a scholar? She is so lucky to have finally made it. Oh? By the way, her family is involved in a lawsuit, but her daughter is fine now, right?"

Little Liu said, "She has a father who is a scholar. I think he got some connections and was released. She went home yesterday. But it was a fool who carried her in. I think she was tortured in the government office."

"Alas, it's not easy for this girl. She has to worry about everything at home and outside. Ye Xiuying is soft-hearted and not someone who can establish herself on the family's own. Fortunately, the girl from the Wen family is hardworking and can establish herself on the family's own." Jia and Bai both sighed.

Wen Liang finished his breakfast leisurely, then stood up and walked to the door. At this time, the groom and his followers had been waiting for a long time.

Xiao Liu and several other women watched from the side, each holding a handful of melon seeds. There were four tall horses, one for each attendant, and the carriage was pulled by two horses.

The horses were fat and strong, with shiny hair, and they were very different from the horses pulling goods in the village. The followers were also tall and serious, and they were obviously professionally trained.

Although Xiao Liu and the others wanted to get closer to see what was happening, they did not dare to get too close as they saw the attendants standing guard nearby.

Wen Liang came out of his house wearing his old clothes today. Xiao Liu and the others stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to see if the man who just came out was Wen Liang.

When the coachman saw Wen Liang coming out, he took out the step stool from the carriage. Wen Liang waved his hand and said to the coachman, "I won't take the carriage today. You and Li Wei will wait for my wife here. Gao Meng, you come with me to the county school."

After saying that, he and the follower named Gao Meng mounted their horses and headed towards the county school.

After Ye Xiuying helped Wen Qingcheng wash up and have breakfast, she left Chuyi at home to look after Qingcheng, and she took Wen Zicheng to the county town to sell things and prepare a birthday party for Wen Qingcheng.

Xiao Liu, the gossipy girl in the village, didn't understand either. Wen Liang seemed to be very rich and could afford such a grand occasion, but he went out wearing an old gown that had been washed so much that it looked bleached. He was completely different from the gorgeous clothes he had worn yesterday.

When they saw Ye Xiuying taking her youngest son into the carriage, they were all filled with envy.

"Sister Ye has finally gotten what she deserves this time."

"Yes, Wen Liang passed the exam and became a scholar. He has been good at studying since he was young. If he passes the exam again, he will become a juren. Sister Ye's blessing is still to come."

Ye Xiuying didn't notice so many eyes looking at her. She sat in the carriage with Zicheng in her arms, listening to the wheels creaking as they rolled over the dirt road. Ye Xiuying lifted the curtain and looked at the village getting farther and farther away, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart.

These past two days were like a dream. Her husband was alive and well, her children were filial and cute, she was sitting in such a luxurious carriage, and she had banknotes in her pocket. These were things she had never dared to imagine before. But it was time to wake up from this dream soon...

At this time, Wen Qingcheng was lying on the bed recuperating from her injuries, enjoying the rare peace and quiet. What she didn't expect was that the news of her release by the government had spread throughout Yueya Village, including her medical skills.

Wang Laowu used his life to verify Wen Qingcheng's medical skills, and his reputation rose rapidly in Yueya Village. Of course, there were also many people who doubted him.

This morning, Wen Qingcheng's "click rate" was quite high. One after another, people knocked on the door and invited Wen Qingcheng to their homes to see a doctor. The most outrageous one was that someone asked Wen Qingcheng to give their dog two injections. Seeing that Wen Qingcheng couldn't even get out of bed, they gave up.

Xiao Hei's voice was almost hoarse from yelling at the door. The weather was scorching hot. After licking a few gulps of water, Xiao Hei lay down at the gate of the yard like a deflated ball, with his tongue stuck out, panting, trying to dissipate the heat from his body.

After a while, there was another knock on the door. Xiao Hei jumped up from the ground instantly and barked wildly at the door.

Chuyi had just washed some fruit for Wen Qingcheng and brought it over when she saw another visitor. She opened the door with some helplessness. The visitor was a middle-aged man with a receding hairline and a strong smell of Chinese medicine.

"I'm looking for Madam Wen." The man knew Chuyi was a fool, so he didn't say much to him. This man was Wei Lingshu, the doctor in Yueya Village.

He was good at using medicine and always felt that acupuncture could only be used as an auxiliary treatment. He had heard from the villagers how skilled Wen Qingcheng was in medicine, how knowledgeable he was about pharmacology, and how good he was at acupuncture. There were actually patients who came directly to Wen Qingcheng to ask for treatment. This made him, a doctor with twenty years of experience in medicine, very confused.

This time I came to see if she knew how to give acupuncture. It just so happened that I had a migraine recently and it didn't get better after taking several doses of medicine, so I wanted to see how she treated it.

Chuyi stopped him from entering. These people only knew how to disturb his wife, especially since a man came to seek medical treatment. They were even more unwilling to let him get close to Wen Qingcheng.

"Oh, don't stop me. I'm going to see Madam Wen for treatment. Madam Wen——"

Wen Qingcheng opened the window and heard that the person outside was here to see her for medical treatment. She thought that since he was here, she could let him in and write a prescription for him.

"Chuyi, let him in." A clear voice came from the room.
