While the He family was in chaos, there was a man pacing back and forth in his yard.

This person was Huang Yan, the director of the Imperial Hospital who had previously treated the old lady.

Master Huang Yan came from the Zhoutian medical school.

The Zhoutian Medical School is a very mysterious sect among the people of Tianying. It was founded by the Medical Saint Baishu one hundred years ago.

Over the past hundred years, the disciples of Zhou Tian Medical School have studied medical skills, passed on medical knowledge, cured diseases and saved lives, and helped the world. Unknowingly, they have become representatives of the school of miracle doctors.

Unfortunately, the inner disciples of Zhoutian Medical Sect are very low-key, and they live in the mountains for a long time, with their whereabouts unknown. They are not easy for ordinary people to find.

Huang Yan is an outer disciple of the Zhoutian Medical School. When he was young, he studied with his master for more than five years. Later, he passed the examination for a medical assistant and entered the Imperial Medical Bureau. He climbed up step by step and achieved his current position as the director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

Outsiders all say that Huang Yan has superb medical skills and can be called a modern-day medical saint, but only he himself knows that his mediocre skills are not good enough in front of the inner disciples of Zhoutian Medical School.

On the day Huang Yan returned from the He family, he sent a letter to his senior brother Bai Mi. After many days of twists and turns, the letter finally reached Zhou Tian Medical Clinic.

Today, Huang Yan couldn't wait to open the reply letter that Bai Mi had specially sent.

Who would have thought that when he opened it, he would learn that the sect leader had been missing for more than three months.

"What did your master say?"

After reading the letter, Huang Yan walked back and forth in the yard several times before he calmed himself down and asked the young man who had delivered the letter with a frown.

The young man had a calm expression, and even though the person standing in front of him and talking to him was the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, he did not show the slightest sign of panic.

The young man cupped his hands and said:

"Master said that the Sect Leader's token has always been in the hands of the Sect Leader's Grandmaster. Now that the Grandmaster's whereabouts are unknown, it is not easy to determine the identity of the kid based on just a jade pendant."

Huang Yan nodded solemnly upon hearing this, thinking that what Senior Brother Bai Su said was indeed right.

Although he was very surprised to see the token of the leader of Zhoutian Medical Sect on Miss He that day, and almost thought that Zhoutian Medical Sect had found a rare genius, at the age of three, he received the true teachings of the leader's uncle and inherited the position of the sect leader.

But then he thought about it and felt that something was fishy, ​​so he hurriedly wrote a letter to Bai Shi.

"Uncle Huang, don't worry. Master also said that since the headmaster's token has appeared, no matter what the identity of the little kid from the He family is, he will definitely come to the capital."

"But he is too busy right now. He will leave after he finishes his work in a few days. In the meantime, I would like to trouble Master Huang to take care of him and make sure nothing goes wrong."

After the young man finished speaking, he bowed to Huang Yan again.

Huang Yan stepped forward immediately and gave him a lift: "That's great. Now that Senior Brother Bai is here, I can put my mind at ease."

"Zhoutian Medical Sect has been through ups and downs over the years. If it weren't for the support of you guys, I'm afraid it would have disbanded long ago. It's us outer disciples who have the will but not the strength. We can only watch the thieves wreaking havoc but can't do anything about it."

"In the final analysis, we are useless..."

The night wind rises, howling and sweeping.

The young man smiled indifferently and did not respond.

After getting into trouble and being taught a lesson by He Jianxing, He Shiyi has now become much more obedient.

He has been reflecting on his mistakes in the yard these days. In addition to completing the homework assigned by the teacher, he also copies scriptures for the old lady from time to time.

Finally, after copying three volumes, He Shiyi got He Jianxing's approval, and he was allowed to go out on the day of the ten-day festival as an exception.

The Xun Festival is one of the more important festivals in Tianying.

There are four festivals a year, in addition to the Shangyuan Festival and the Xiayuan Festival, there are also the Mulian Festival in mid-August and the Luodong Festival in the winter month.

Speaking of this festival, one can't help but sigh at Zhao Mianmian's bad luck.

In the nineteenth year of Emperor Xiaowu's reign, the previous emperor passed away and the country was in mourning for three years.

During the national mourning period, everything was kept simple, and the Ten-Day Festival had not been held for three consecutive years.

Zhao Mianmian arrived just in time for the Mu Lian Festival, which made the audience in the live broadcast room eager to go out and take a look in person on her behalf.

Zhao Mianmian was very happy to be able to go out. After all, with her status, she didn't have many opportunities to go out.

Firstly, Zhao Mianmian was young and it was not safe for her to go out; secondly, women from Tianying were not allowed to show their faces in public, let alone a decent girl from a wealthy family.

Of course, looking at the He family, Zhao Mianmian is not the only one who is happy.

He Xulan specially changed into a light green chest-length silk skirt today, paired with a moon-white silk blouse and a sky-blue shawl. She stood tall and graceful, like a fairy born from dew.

He Shiyi's outfit was not conspicuous, but she had dressed up carefully.

He had not yet told Qin Shuyu about the loss of the jade pendant, so today he found an excuse and replaced it with a piece of glutinous yellow Xiuyan jade, which made him look well-educated and cultured.

"There will be a lot of people on the street later, so don't run around, especially you. If you make trouble again, you won't be able to go out again in the future!!"

Butler He arranged two carriages, the old lady and Qin Shuyu took one, and the brothers and sisters in the family took another.

Before leaving, Qin Shuyu was worried and gave some detailed instructions.

He Xulan and Zhao Mianmian both looked well behaved. He Shiyi subconsciously wanted to refute, but he finally held back and muttered with a pout:

"I know, mother."

After giving instructions to the younger generations, Qin Shuyu spoke a few words to the servants who followed him out, and finally got on the carriage and sat with Madam He.

The old lady took several doses of Huang Yan's medicine and recuperated for some time. She is now almost fully recovered.

I hadn't planned to go out originally, but thinking that the Mu Lian Festival hadn't been held for a long time, it would be nice to go out for a walk, so I joined the younger generations for some fun.

"I'm too old to go shopping in that red-light district. When we get there, you can go with Lan Jie'er and the others. Don't follow an old woman like me."

The carriage creaked forward for a while. After about two streets, Mrs. He covered her mouth and coughed slightly, then suddenly spoke.

Her words sounded kind and harmonious on the surface, but they stunned Qin Shuyu, who began to sneer in his heart.

Qin Shuyu has been married into the He family for nearly twenty years, and has been dealing with Old Madam He for twenty years, but she knows his biological mother better than He Jianxing does.

He Tong looked kind, but she was actually very strong at heart.

If she had not intervened back then, He Jianxing would have entered the Ministry of Industry and taken charge of the local water conservancy.

Instead of being like now, seemingly occupying an important position in the Secretariat, but actually being neither high nor low.

As for He Yunniang, Qin Shuyu didn't know much. He roughly knew that it was Old Madam He who interfered and forced He Yunniang to marry into a wealthy family.

He Yunniang refused and left the capital in anger and married herself off casually.

Old Madam He treated her own son and daughter like this, let alone her daughter-in-law who was not related by blood.

Fortunately, Qin Shuyu knew how to behave and was able to keep his composure, and he did not lose out on both face and money, so the family was able to live in peace for so many years.

After hearing what Madam He said, Qin Shuyu's fingers holding the handkerchief slightly tightened, but his face remained calm and he continued with a natural expression:

"Mother, look at what you said. The brothers and sisters have servants to take care of them, and my wife will stay by your side to serve you."

Old Madam He has lived a lifetime and has visited the Mu Lian Festival countless times. There is no need for anyone to accompany her for a stroll.

In addition, there were many servants serving in the house, so it was not Qin Shuyu's turn to do it herself. The reason why she spoke like this was just because she was acting like a mother-in-law and wanted to control people based on their status.

Fortunately, Qin Shuyu understood her and continued along with her words:

"Besides, He An has already booked a pleasure boat, which is parked on the river bank. If you can't walk anymore, we can go and rest on the pleasure boat. It's better than being squeezed in the crowd and smelling the sweat!"

Old Madam He was originally trying to control her daughter-in-law, and when she heard what Qin Shuyu said, she immediately felt happy.

She laughed and teased Qin Shuyu: "You don't want to accompany an old woman like me, but you are afraid of the smell of sweat~"

"Yes, yes, it's my wife who is being pretentious. She wants to join in the fun, but she can't stand crowds. Mother, please don't tell my brothers and sisters at home, or they will learn to be as lazy as me."

Qin Shuyu smiled and acted coquettishly, and the interactions between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were revealed in the laughter.
