The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

Chapter 426 I'm Still Young

Fan Xuanyu, who had been holding back for a long time, finally spoke when he saw General Duan in front of him in a daze.

"Young General, you've shared the country's worries, traveling extensively throughout the country. You're a loyal and righteous minister. There are some things I shouldn't be saying, but please take care of your health. Your wound, which was about to heal, has been torn and swollen, and you've got a fever again..."

Kang Ge'er was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this girl, who looked so quiet, would use different words when "teaching" people.

From a doctor's perspective, Fan Xuanyu hates such disobedient patients the most.

However, she also knew in her heart that when it came to matters of the greater good, there was sometimes no solution.

"I'll bandage you again. I'll go boil the medicine later."

Reduce the fever first, otherwise the wound will become inflamed.

"Thank you, Doctor Xuan Yu."

Fan Xuanyu paused while organizing the medicine box. This was the first time someone called her doctor.

After she left, Han Yang, Xuan Lao and others came over.

"You little bastard, you're only coming to us now for such a big matter."

Han Yang also stood aside with a stern face. They had received orders before to wait for him in Frye.

Unexpectedly, the first news received was the death of Duan Chengkang.

This frightened them greatly, and they hurried to the Mu family.

Halfway through the journey, he met his own people and learned the real situation.

Bai Yi had already told them the whole story, and now they were more afraid.

"I told you to keep someone close to you, but you didn't listen. You're like walking on stilts in a toilet; sooner or later you'll fall into the shit."

"It's obvious that if you walk by the river often, you will get your feet wet. Xuanxuan, you are not as cultured as me."

Kang Ge'er smiled and tried to ease the tense atmosphere.

"You seem to be in good spirits and even have the energy to talk back to me."

Han Yang stood aside, looking at the child he had raised, feeling more helpless than anything else.

"Be careful in everything you do from now on, and think twice before you act."

Kang Ge'er looked a little more serious towards Master Han Yang.

Several people discussed leaving the city together.

"That letter was sent from a post station. We can only follow the trail along the way. Especially here in Yumen, the time intervals are long, and the letters come from the same place."

There were not many letters coming to the border town, so they checked secretly and screened them one by one in order not to attract attention.

That group of people used to go to Yumen to pick up letters. Such letters were not uncommon. There were exiled prisoners in Yumen and other counties in Yuanning. The relatives of some of them would write to them from time to time to express their greetings or send them some things.

"The post station has the courier records, so it's faster to check there."

Old Xuan stroked his gray beard and thought.

"We should set off tomorrow without delay. Those people attacked me this time, but they didn't want to take my life. I think they have some conspiracy. The sooner we catch that rat, the more we can go home."

"Why, are you in a hurry to go home and get married?"

Old Xuan joked that the child is already grown up and is still dragging his feet.

Kang Ge'er blushed, "I'm still young, there's no need to rush."

When these words were spoken, several people laughed silently.

Kang Ge'er looked puzzled, as he always felt that he was still young.

When Fan Xuanyu came over with the medicine, Kang Ge'er begged him to pack a few prescriptions for him.

"I'm leaving tomorrow. I'd like to ask Doctor Xuan Yu to prescribe some medicine for me to take on the way."

Fan Xuanyu responded and said that he would bring it to him when he came to change the dressing in the evening.

"Thank you, Doctor Xuan Yu."

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after the people left. Thinking of what she said about changing the dressing in the evening, Kang Ge'er felt a little uncomfortable.

Although he knew she was a doctor, he felt a little embarrassed every time he took off his shirt and watched a girl change his dressing.

He didn't have any romantic thoughts, he was just a young man who was simply shy.

Fan Xuanyu did not wait for his brother to change the medicine today and went to their residence.

The Fang family now lives behind the academy, not far from here.

After He Jiajing arrived at the girls' school, she did cleaning work. Since there was not much work today, she asked for leave.

When Fan Xuanyu arrived, she was kneeling in the corner, burning paper money in a charcoal brazier in front of her.

"I've been gone for so many years, and I haven't burned any paper for you. This year, thanks to my sister, I have some money to buy you some more copper coins and banknotes. You must bless her well in the afterlife."

"I don't know if you can get it, but don't let other ghosts bully you outside..."

There were some unspoken words hidden in her heart, and she felt both love and hate for her husband.

A young couple, unexpectedly one of them passed away first, leaving the other alone in this world.

But she also felt resentment and hatred.

If he hadn't acted on his own initiative and listened to the treacherous words, he would have easily fallen into the trap and almost lost his entire family's lives...

No, that's not right. He is just stupid and can't blame others.

If I hadn't been so stupid, I wouldn't have caused such a disaster that brought disaster to my entire family.

He Jiajing, the eldest son's legitimate wife, was raised as the mistress of a wealthy family. She managed all household affairs and was well-informed about many matters.

The upbringing at home was very strict, especially the clan rules that bound the whole family, young and old.

There are always imperfections in a family, but as they are bound by national laws and family rules, no one dares to do anything bad.

My father-in-law is a good official who strictly enforces the law, but what is the definition of a good official?

In official circles, bribery and favoritism are common.

If we follow the law, there will be no honest officials in the world, because in the end, no honest official will survive.

Especially those honest officials without any background.

In this world, if you want to be honest, there will always be people who can't stand it. Why am I covered in mud, while you can still maintain your innocence?

My father-in-law came from a wealthy family and passed the imperial examination. Over the years, he has become well versed in the dark ways of officialdom.

He was not innocent, but he always remembered why he became an official.

He would still accept bribes, but he was selective and knew what he could take and what he could not take.

Even when he was brought down, the biggest crime he was charged with was being demoted to a low position.

However, no matter how much he planned, he did not expect that his eldest son would be mediocre and very stupid.

Even though He Jiajing has a good relationship with her husband, it doesn't stop her from thinking this way.

The eldest son of other families is the master who can shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family, but he is the one who has good luck but bad luck.

That’s all.

He Jiajing sighed and added some yellow paper and copper coins to the charcoal basin.

The person is dead, what's the point of saying this.

Poor him, he was all alone and buried without even a coffin.

"aunt."

Fan Xuanyu stepped in and placed the medicine box in his hand on the stone table in the yard.

"Why don't you see my brother?"

When He Jiajing heard the voice, she wiped the tears from her face with her hands. Just as she was about to stand up, someone knelt down beside her.

Fan Xuanyu knelt there and took out a stack of yellow paper from the basket.

"Your brother went out with someone."

He Jiajing watched the girl burning paper money in the basin, and a tear rolled down her eye.

Neither asked, the other explained, and the two of them burned the basket of paper money tacitly.

Finally, He Jiajing gently used a wooden stick to lift the thickest pile to make the fire burn more vigorously.

It has to be burned completely so that the people below can collect it.
