Noble Lady

Xue Chenyu and his group did not go too far after leaving the Marquis' Mansion. Instead, they took a short rest in Xue Chenyu's house for one night and left the city early at dawn.

It is already February, and the weather in Shengjing is not as cold as before.

After leaving Shengjing and heading south, the weather becomes warmer.

True, they were not heading north, but south.

Following Situ Zhen's instructions in the letter and the route map attached, after Xue Chenyu told her the destination, Weng Xuemei smiled and guaranteed that there would be no major problems.

They passed through three towns before stopping. This small place was called "Guilai Town", where the people were simple and honest, and most of the people coming and going in the town were old acquaintances.

After entering the town, Weng Xuemei sat outside the car and kept greeting passers-by along the way.

Xue Luoyan and Xue Chenyu in the car were both a little confused.

The town was not big, and the carriage wobbled as it arrived in front of a clinic in the town.

There is a plaque hanging in the clinic that reads "Xuanhu Jishi", and the signature is just one word "Si". There is not even the seal of the person who wrote it. I wonder who wrote it so carelessly.

"Old man, I'm back." Weng Xuemei walked in carelessly.

The neighbors waiting for treatment greeted her when they saw her, "Isn't this Mei girl? Where have you been? I haven't seen you in a long time."

"I went to visit my relatives, to my distant cousin's house. Look, they were afraid I would miss home, so they sent me back."

Weng Xuemei spoke without hesitation, and the neighbors did not become suspicious and just looked at the carriage at the door.

"This carriage looks very grand. People in our small town can't afford it...."

"Yeah, isn't Mei's distant cousin's family an official?"

Amidst the discussions, Xue Chenyu put on her veil and got out of the car with Xue Luoyan.

Those curious eyes became more and more unscrupulous.

Until a muffled cough was heard in the clinic, "What are you looking for? Are you here to see a doctor or my distant niece?"

After this news came out in the clinic, everyone became quiet. Those who wanted to see the doctor lined up to see the doctor, and those who wanted to get medicine lined up to get medicine. No one dared to see Xue Chenyu.

Xue Chenyu did not go forward to disturb them, but just found a place to sit down quietly.

As for the monkey-like Luo Luo, we can only let her be.

In a short while, Weng Xuemei took Xue Luoyan to tour the clinic inside and out.

Luoluo even ran out to show off to Xue Chenyu, "Sister, there's a huge well in their backyard. I threw a stone in there and didn't hear an echo. Do you think there's a trapped dragon well in this world?"

As soon as these words were spoken, people inside and outside the clinic looked at Xue Luoyan, a girl in her teens.

But she was just a little girl, and there was a clear stupidity in her eyes and eyebrows, and there was indeed no sign of any ulterior motives.

Xue Chenyu stood up helplessly and poked Luo Luo's forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about? Where in the world do dragons come from? If such auspicious beasts really existed, why would my father risk his life on the battlefield to fight for them?"

Luoluo suddenly realized what was going on and wanted to run to the backyard, but Xue Chenyu grabbed her wrist.

"...Sister?"

"What did you promise me before you left? You promised not to run around, you promised not to talk nonsense, and you promised to listen to me. If you can't do that, I'll have someone send you home right now."

Xue Luoyan suddenly became dispirited.

The two sisters were talking here as if no one was around. The clinic looked bustling before, but in a short while, everyone had left.

Weng Xuemei also walked to the door as usual and closed it and boarded it.

"Come on, girl. My grandfather wants to talk to you alone."

Xue Chenyu glanced at Luoluo and said, "Wait here for me. You are not allowed to go anywhere."

She sat there obediently, "Don't worry, sister, I won't cause any trouble for you."

Xue Chenyu was worried, but there was actually no better way, so she shook her head and went into the inner room.

In the small clinic, sat a gentleman with white hair and a youthful face.

Judging from his appearance, he was not much older than Situ Zhen, but his perfectly even silver hair sparkled against the backdrop of the open window.

Moreover, his eyes, which were filled with life experiences, always showed that he was not the young man he appeared to be.

"Thank you, sir. I am right." After a brief surprise, Xue Chenyu knelt down and saluted.

In order to make it easier to go out, she wore a moon-white round-necked robe, a belt of the same color, and her hair was stood up high, but even so, it did not diminish her delicate and noble aura in the slightest.

If she had any surprises or astonishments along the way, they all connected when she saw Mr. Xie, the white-haired and youthful-looking man.

Just as what was written in the letter that He Shuang specially sent to her, the turning point of this matter was all thanks to Mr. Xie.

"Why did that brat choose a little girl like you?" The other person only looked at her once, then lowered his eyes and continued to organize the pulse records on the desk.

The brat he was talking about is the Prince of Cheng?

Xue Chenyu chose her words carefully and said, "The prince originally wanted Meimei to come by herself, but my mother and I were worried about her going on such a long journey alone, so my sister and I came with her."

"Yeah. You're very considerate, but that girl has been going out on her own since she was little. It's not safe for you to accompany her."

Xue Chenyu did not refute.

Mr. Xie felt a little bored. "You are always a stubborn person. How come you chose a girl with a sawed mouth? It's boring."

Xue Chenyu smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Xie. But my father and the prince are in imminent danger. I hope Mr. Xie can lend a hand and lend them a helping hand."

Mr. Xie just glanced at her and said, "You asked me to lend a hand, so you asked me to lend a hand. What do you think of me, an old man? A servant who can be summoned and dismissed at will?"

"Thank you, sir!" Xue Chenyu knelt on her knees. "I don't know what the dispute is between you and the prince, but this concerns the lives of the prince and my father. I hope you can lend a hand. If you want to kill me or cut me up, I will do whatever you want."

Mr. Xie frowned unhappily and said, "Why would they want to kill you for no reason? Young people these days really don't know how to be funny."

As he spoke, he raised his voice and shouted outside, "Meimei girl, come here."

As soon as she finished speaking, Weng Xuemei pulled Xue Luoyan into the house.

"Grandpa, what's your big plan?" Weng Xuemei said unhappily, "I'm not very smart. I can't understand complicated things. Please explain it to me in a simple way."

Mr. Xie rolled his eyes unceremoniously, with a rather angry look of "hate iron but not steel". "If I had known that you would end up like this in Beijing, I should never have let you go."

"It's only been a short while since we last met, and you're already arguing with me. You're such a jerk."

Weng Xuemei's face was filled with helplessness: "Grandpa, I'm here to ask you for help. Can you please show some urgency to save someone from danger?"

Mr. Xie was about to say something, but his eyes fell on Xue Luoyan and he suddenly stopped.
