"Which master?"

Su Chen became interested and asked curiously.

Zheng Heng: "Master Cheng Lingyan."

"I heard that Master Cheng pursued Master Qin in his early years, but was rejected by him, so he holds a grudge against him. Some also say that Master Cheng's sister was in a relationship with Master Qin, but it didn't work out, so they became enemies."

Su Chen frowned.

It is really hard to imagine that Qin Deshui, a master with a rough face, would be so sentimental.

His frown quickly relaxed.

"I'm afraid it's just everyone's random guesses, don't talk nonsense."

Zheng Heng chuckled, "But Master Su, there's always smoke without fire, right? And a fellow Taoist has calculated the relationship between Master Cheng and Master Qin, and it's truly quite close."

"The kind that's lingering."

Su Chen glanced at him, and Zheng Heng shut up.

When she entered the ward, Shi Mengfei saw the old lady with her son and daughter-in-law. She greeted them with a wry smile, but before she could introduce Su Chen and the others, she was questioned.

"Nurse Shi, why don't you do your job properly and instead talk nonsense to my mom? My Xiaoyi is fine, what's with all that talk? Isn't that just nonsense?"

Shi Mengfei smiled awkwardly and looked at the old lady, who looked away with a vague look.

Shi Mengfei: "..."

She took a deep breath and bowed to apologize, "I'm so sorry. It's mainly because the old lady has been alone in the ward and seemed worried. I was worried that her worries would affect her recovery, so I thought of chatting with her, and we just happened to talk about that."

"I'm sorry, sister. I will definitely change next time."

Seeing her good attitude, the woman's expression eased a little and she coughed lightly: "Just don't do it again next time."

"Okay, sister, next time I won't chat with the old lady. I'll find a radio and play music for her. Is that okay with you?"

There was finally a smile on the woman's face.

Shi Mengfei then looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma Zhou, look, you have a daughter-in-law who cares so much about you. Others can't envy you."

The old lady saw that her daughter-in-law was in a much better mood, and her originally uneasy heart calmed down a little. She nodded when she heard it.

He glanced at Su Chen and the others and asked in confusion, "Xiao Fei, who are these people..."

Shi Mengfei hurriedly pulled Zheng Heng over.

"Grandma Zhou, brother and sister, this is Doctor Zheng, a famous doctor from Guangdong Province who came here for an exchange program. He's a very well-known expert, and he's here to make his rounds."

"They...are accompanying."

Zheng Heng was suddenly pulled forward. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and nodded.

He took a closer look at the old lady's condition.

"Both your hands and feet are broken? Just put them in plaster?" He lifted the old lady's hands and feet again, pressed her shoulder blades and waist, asked a few questions, and turned to look at Su Chen, "There are some problems with the cervical and lumbar spine. Doctor Su...what do you think?"

Su Chen didn't step forward: "The neck is fine, but there is a bone spur stuck between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. If it is not removed, it will affect the subsequent movement of the waist and may also compress the nerves in the legs."

Zheng Heng was stunned: "Then..."

Su Chen raised his hand.

"Okay, no need to hide."

He looked at the woman and said, "It's understandable that the old man thinks his grandson's temperament has changed drastically and he might have been possessed by evil spirits."

"You should have guessed it a little bit."

The man and woman looked at each other subconsciously.

"The child knew he wasn't his biological child and suspected you had killed his family. The old man's broken bones were just the beginning."

"I suggest you talk to him and clarify the whole story, so as not to ruin your family."

The woman subconsciously retorted: "No, that's impossible?"

The man nodded: "Yes, you are simply, simply exaggerating!"

Old Song was unhappy.

"Who are you calling alarmist?"

"Master Su's prediction is absolutely accurate."

"I originally thought it was a case of a cat replacing a prince, and I felt a little sorry for you. Now I hear you know everything, but you're hiding it from this little old lady alone?"

The old lady was stunned by the news.

After a long while, he hesitantly asked, "Isn't Xiaoyi our child?"

The man quickly retorted: "How could that be, Mom?"

The woman avoided his gaze.

The old lady glared at him, "Xiaoliang, you're still hiding this from me? Do you think I'm so easy to fool because of my age?"

The man lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, the old lady's heart was beating fast, and it took a long time for her to calm down: "What a sin, what a sin, why don't you raise your own children, but have to raise other people's children~"

When she howled, the woman also shed tears.

She sniffed, her nose sniffling rapidly.

The man patted her back soothingly.

"Mom, Sijun and I had a very unlucky child. He passed away not long after he was born."

"Sijun suffered physically in order to give birth to that child. She will never be able to conceive again, and yet you keep pushing me to have a child~"

"Just then, I heard that a man went out to sea and never came back. His wife was so heartbroken that she died soon after, leaving behind a crying baby. So we decided to adopt him."

"When you came to the Magic City later, didn't you like Xiaoyi very much? This child is smart and well-behaved..."

Old lady: “That was before!”

"Yes, yes, it was before. Isn't it just a misunderstanding now? We have been so good to him since he was a child. Now that he knows the truth, he will still be as sensible and filial as before."

The old lady said nothing and just shed tears silently.

Shi Mengfei pulled Su Chen.

"Master Su, shall we go out now?"

I always feel that this ward is too miserable.

Su Chen nodded.

After they left the ward, Zheng Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "How can this be considered adoption? It's like inviting a jinx home."

"Thanks to Taoist Master Su's reminders, otherwise, looking at the three of them, there was a trace of death energy in their foreheads. I estimate it would have been a month or two."

Shi Mengfei shuddered.

"Doctor Zheng, are you telling the truth?"

She suddenly felt refreshed.

Zheng Heng nodded: "Although I have just started to learn the art of face reading, I can still clearly tell whether there is death energy in the forehead."

Shi Mengfei looked at Su Chen with joy: "In other words, by going through all this trouble this time, I actually indirectly saved three people's lives?"

Su Chen nodded: "To be precise, four people."

"Oh yes, if her grandson kills someone, he will definitely be sentenced to death. Four people, haha, I saved four people!"

Seeing Shi Mengfei start to spin in circles, Old Song couldn't bear to watch it, so he coughed lightly.

"Xiao Fei, did you forget about the referral fee? After all this trouble, you didn't make a penny, and you even had to pay for the walnut cookies!"

Shi Mengfei waved her hands: "That's just a few dollars. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I saved four people!"

"Crazy, crazy, this girl is crazy." Old Song said exaggeratedly.

Sure enough, Shi Mengfei quickly restrained her expression and movements, became serious, coughed twice, and just as she pursed her lips, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"I saved four people~"

Su Chen: "..."

"Master Su, I've decided not to buy cosmetics for the next two months. I'll save money to pay for your appointment."

"...Huh?" Old Song was surprised. "Not only are you paying the money, you're also going to keep throwing money away?"

"What else can we do? We can't let Master Su make this trip in vain, right?"

"Master Su, I'm really penniless right now, can you..."

Su Chen nodded: "Okay!"

"Master Su, you are indeed the most understanding and reasonable person. You are the best."

Shi Mengfei was excited for a while, but when she returned to the teahouse and calmed down, she quickly lowered her eyes.

Old Song asked her, "What happened?"

Shi Mengfei sighed: "I just suddenly felt that Grandma Zhou was so pitiful."

"The grandson I always thought I had was someone else's child, and my own grandson died long ago..."

Old Song nodded: "That's true, their family's lineage has been cut off, right?"

"Who said it's broken?"
