Jiang Yun finally waited for Liu Erzhu to finish his nonsense before slowly asking, "You just said that Lord Guo listens to his mother very much. Did anything happen?"

Liu Erzhu had already relieved most of his nervousness through his incoherent and lengthy speech just now.

Hearing Jiang Yun's question, he replied immediately.

"Yes! It has spread all over Phoenix City a long time ago. Princess, you can find out by just asking around."

"Well, tell me about it."

Jiang Yun raised the corner of her mouth slightly, with a hint of curiosity and amusement in her eyes, as if she was full of anticipation for the story she was about to hear.

Upon hearing this, Liu Erzhu secretly rejoiced that he had finally found a topic that interested the princess, so he cleared his throat and began to speak vividly.

"Master Guo is a well-known filial son in Phoenix City. Do you know? Once, Master Guo's mother wanted to go to Nanshan Temple on the outskirts of the city to pray for blessings. However, the temple was far away, and it was the rainy season, so the roads were muddy. Master Guo's mother was also carsick. In order not to disappoint her, Master Guo, without hesitation, personally carried her to Nanshan Temple to pray for blessings."

"What's even more noteworthy," Liu Erzhu's eyes sparkled with admiration, "is that, to ensure my mother's comfortable stay at the temple, Lord Guo specially ordered the temple's guest rooms to be cleaned in advance and even prepared my mother's favorite snacks and tea. During her stay at the temple, Lord Guo accompanied my mother in chanting sutras and praying for blessings every day. His patience and attentiveness are truly admirable."

"There's something even more touching," Liu Erzhu's voice deepened, as if moved by the deep affection. "Master Guo's mother had always wished to see her son paint a picture for her. Although Master Guo was filial, he wasn't a painter. But to fulfill his mother's wish, he spent several months practicing day and night, and finally produced a painting that satisfied her. When his mother saw the painting, she was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and she said it was the most precious gift she had ever received."

"And there's more," Liu Erzhu spoke with growing excitement, as if he too was infected by Lord Guo's filial piety. "When Lord Guo handled government affairs, he always considered his mother's opinion first. Once, there was a difficult case in the city, and Lord Guo had already made a decision. But when he heard that his mother had a different opinion on the case, he changed his mind without hesitation and re-examined it according to his mother's wishes, which ultimately won him the praise of the people."

At this point, Liu Erzhu couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Princess, look at this, Lord Guo obeys his mother's every word and is extremely filial. In our Phoenix City, such filial sons are rare."

After listening to this, Jiang Yun curled up the corners of his mouth into a meaningful smile, and a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes.

She nodded slightly, seeming quite satisfied with Liu Erzhu's words.

But he secretly wondered: While Mr. Guo's filial piety is certainly commendable, would blindly following his mother's advice become a shackle on his actions? The pros and cons of this, perhaps only Mr. Guo himself, knew best.

If her guess was correct, then the matter of Doctor Du might have been pushed by Lord Guo's mother!

Got it!

It seems that she has to go to Lord Guo's house tomorrow to pay a proper visit to the old lady.

Jiang Yun stood up and stretched his body. His back was a little stiff from sitting for too long.

Liu Erzhu heard the voice but didn't dare to look up, for fear of angering the noble and losing his life.

"Feng Zhu, send him back."

Zhufeng felt a little disgusted when he thought about touching this dirty thing with his hands again.

Liu Erzhu seemed to sense Zhufeng's disdain and immediately said, "No, no, I can go back on my own, so I won't bother you, sir, to send me off."

Jiang Yun looked at the sky, nodded and said, "Well, if you are not afraid of walking alone at night, then you can go back by yourself."

Liu Erzhu was speechless for a moment.

He forgot it was the dead of night!

Although he is not afraid of ghosts, he is afraid of people!

He considered carefully and said, "How about I stay here for one night and leave as soon as the sun comes up? Is that okay with you?"

Jiang Yun yawned and said to Zhufeng, "Zhufeng, you take care of the arrangements. I'm going back to sleep first."

She said, and turned back to the room.

Zhufeng didn't want to have anything to do with this slovenly fellow anymore, so he pointed to the woodshed in the courtyard and said, "Stay there for the night. I'll let you go tomorrow morning."

Liu Erzhu thought that his life was saved, so he was not picky about where to sleep tonight.

He quickly bowed to Zhufeng and said, "Thank you, sir."

The next day.

When Jiang Yun and Fu Xuanyu got up, Liu Erzhu had already returned to his official residence.

The woodshed was drafty, but he felt cool inside.

But there are also a lot of mosquitoes!

He spent almost the entire second half of the night fighting mosquitoes. Although he swatted many of them to death, he was also covered in bites all over his body.

So this morning, he left the woodshed with a face full of lumps and a pair of panda eyes.

As soon as he came out, he couldn't wait to leave the Chong'an Palace and rushed back to his official residence and his own nest.

Although his room was dirty and messy, at least there was a bed curtain on his bed to protect him from being bothered by mosquitoes.

As soon as Liu Erzhu came back, he fell into bed and fell asleep.

After Jiang Yun and Fu Xuanyu finished their breakfast, they asked the nanny to send a visiting letter to Mr. Guo's family.

Then I went to see the progress of the carpenters and craftsmen.

Perhaps because the carpenters and craftsmen worked tirelessly, the progress was faster than Jiang Yun expected.

At the current rate, it would only take her five days to build a bathroom with a shower, a flush toilet, and a washbasin with running water.

Jiang Yun advised the craftsmen and carpenters to have a good rest and then left.

Before leaving, he secretly put two pills of strengthening the body and replenishing the essence into the water bottle they drank.

This medicine has a wide range of effects. Giving it to these people can just replenish their physical strength, so that they don't work too hard and get tired to the point of fainting.

Jiang Yun took advantage of the time and went to the pharmacy where everything was ready.

Based on her understanding of Fu Xuanyu's condition, she began to refine medicine for Fu Xuanyu.

Perhaps because of his experience in refining elixirs to strengthen the body and replenish the essence, this time the medicine he made for Fu Xuanyu went very smoothly.

Moreover, the pills are no longer of different sizes like the elixirs for strengthening the body and replenishing the vital energy. This time the pills are of uniform size, round in color, and very perfect.

After Jiang Yun had refined the necessary pills, he put them into a porcelain bottle.

While there was still time, he quickly went to the Yuanzhu Space.

The space was gray and gloomy, with only a thatched hut, a mountain of treasures next to it, and a field of spiritual medicine that stretched as far as the eye could see.

But there was still an invisible barrier between her and those treasures and medicinal fields. She could see them, but she could not touch or encounter them.
