I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Although lychees are cold in nature, eating too many chilled lychees can cause diarrhea and may also cause dizziness and palpitations.

Lin Xinrou was too concerned and prepared quite a few lychees for Xie Shaohang.

Cui Shuyan had no intention of reminding Xie Shaohang about this.

After all, on the surface, she had only been studying with Doctor He for a few days, so it was normal that she didn't know these things.

Xie Shaohang still had some rationality after all. Seeing that they were almost at the Imperial Examination Hall, he did not continue to be affectionate with Lin Xinrou, but started to pack his clothes and the things he was going to bring in.

For him, this exam is very important and it would be bad if he missed something.

After making sure that everything was brought with them, we arrived at the Imperial Examination Hall.

Everyone got off the carriage one by one.

Xie Shaohang was naturally the focus of the Xie family's attention.

Most of what needed to be said had already been said at home, so Xie Liang and Madam Xie had nothing much to say at this moment.

As for Lin Xinrou, she didn't dare to say anything more to Xie Shaohang in such an occasion.

It was Xie Shaohang's second uncle, Xie Jing, who first stretched out his hand and yawned, then patted Xie Shaohang on the shoulder and said nonchalantly: "Shaohang, do well in the exam."

Xie Jing couldn't say any unnecessary polite words.

On the other hand, Mrs. Xie II looked at Xie Shaohang with envy: "Shaohang is a handsome man, he will definitely pass the exam this time!"

Xie Shaohang smiled politely: "Nephew would like to thank Second Uncle and Second Aunt here."

Seeing that the time was almost up, no one said anything more and watched Xie Shaohang take his things into the Imperial Examination Hall.

After the people were sent in, everyone went back to their homes, needless to say.

However, Cui Shuyan clearly felt that Madam Xie's attitude towards her was no longer as warm as before. This was not surprising, because, in Madam Xie's view, Xie Shaohang had already entered the examination room. In this case, the role Cui Shuyan could play was very limited.

Since it's of no use, there's no need to please you anymore.

Cui Shuyan had known for a long time that Madam Xie was such a person, so she did not feel any loss. After returning home, she started reading a medical book.

Not long after, Doctor He walked in.

Following behind him was a round-faced girl who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.

Cui Shuyan immediately stood up to greet her: "Senior Sister, why are you here at this time?"

"I missed you. Come on, I'll continue teaching you how to take a pulse today."

Doctor He’s medical skills were indeed as superb as the rumors said. Cui Shuyan studied very seriously, and before she knew it, it was already noon.

Cui Shuyan invited Dr. He to have dinner with her, but Dr. He declined, saying that she had other things to do when she got home.

Although she was leaving, she kept the round-faced girl behind: "Shuyan, this is the female doctor I am used to, named Shi Liu. I'm busy recently and don't have time to train her, so I'll leave her with you for a few days. Don't worry, although she doesn't like to talk, she is very reliable. If you have anything to do, you can leave it to her without worry."

After hearing what Doctor He said, Cui Shuyan naturally couldn't say no, so she immediately kept Shi Liu and let her live next door to Qiao Ya.

Qiao Ya took Shi Liu to settle down, and when she came back she was puzzled: "Miss, why did Dr. He give you a maid? Do you think I am not serving you well?"

"Of course not." Cui Shuyan shook her head. "I saw calluses on Shi Liu's palm. He must be a martial artist. If I'm not mistaken, Shi Liu should be here to protect me."

"Protect? Are you in any danger?"

Although Qiaoya is smart, she doesn't think too much when encountering things.

Cui Shuyan didn't intend to scare her, and just said lightly: "I live here, what danger can there be? Maybe Doctor He is a cautious person, and she was afraid that something might happen to me, so she sent Shi Liu here."

"Oh, so that's it." Qiaoya was relieved.

After Qiaoya finished speaking, she went to help Shiliu pack up.

Cui Shuyan sat in the room and couldn't help but think deeply.

Her recent situation is indeed somewhat dangerous.

Xie Shaohang has already started his exams. In Mrs. Xie's eyes, the role she can play thereafter will be very small.

Under such circumstances, Madam Xie's desire to protect her would be greatly weakened.

Madam Cui had been eyeing her like a wolf staring at her prey. Once she found an opportunity, she would pounce on her and tear her to pieces!

In this case, it becomes very necessary to have someone who knows martial arts around.

It was so thoughtful of Doctor He to send the pomegranate to her at this time.

From Doctor He's usual conversation, Cui Shuyan could tell that she did have some background.

Why would a person with a background have such good intentions towards her?

Is it just because Master Zhishan accepted her as his disciple?

Thinking of this, Cui Shuyan always felt something was a little weird.

But she couldn't tell what was wrong.

Cui Shuyan was thinking about this when she saw Nanny Rong come in and said in a gentle voice, "Young Madam, your mother is here. She is in the Madam's room and wants you to come over."

Sure enough, Mrs. Cui couldn't wait any longer.

What is coming cannot be avoided.

Cui Shuyan got up directly, took Qiaoya and Shiliu, and went to Madam Xie's yard.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Madam Cui's face full of concern, and she even wiped her eyes with a handkerchief: "Shuyan, your father is not feeling well, and he keeps repeating your name. I knew you were busy with Shaohang's imperial examination and had no time. Today, knowing that Shaohang had already started the examination, I hurried over, thinking that you could go back and see your father as soon as possible, so that his illness can get better sooner. Otherwise, I would always feel uneasy."

She could come up with such an excuse because she was sure that Cui Shuyan would not refuse.

Filial piety is greater than heaven.

No matter how eloquent she is, it would be unacceptable for her to not go back to see her father when he is sick.

Even though she knew that this trip would be dangerous, Cui Shuyan did not refuse.

Because now, she wanted to see Mrs. Xie's reaction.

After Madam Cui finished speaking, Madam Xie nodded immediately: "Indeed, my father-in-law is ill, and Shuyan should go back to see him. Speaking of which, you came at an untimely time. Shuyan's senior sister just left, otherwise, you could ask her to go and see my father-in-law."

"Senior sister? What senior sister?" Mrs. Cui looked confused.

She didn't know that Cui Shuyan had any senior sister.

"It's the famous He doctor. Shuyan saved Mr. Kong before, and she also got to know Master Zhishan. Master Zhishan felt that he and Shuyan had a good affinity, so he accepted Shuyan as his apprentice and wanted to teach her medical skills. But Master Zhishan was not very convenient, so he asked He doctor to teach her first."

Doctor He's reputation in the capital is well-known.

One reason is that it is said that her backers are powerful and cannot be offended, and the other reason is that her medical skills are superb.

This surprised Madam Cui, but her expression did not change at all: "It's a pity that I came at such an unfortunate time. However, my master has been talking about Shuyan all the time. If Shuyan goes back, his illness will be mostly cured."

Madam Xie smiled vainly: "That does make some sense."

In this way, Cui Shuyan got on the carriage back to Cui Mansion.

As soon as she got on the carriage, Mrs. Cui's face instantly turned cold.
