At dinner, Fu Jiuli personally served the dishes to his wife. After seeing that she had eaten and drunk her fill, he picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her mouth.
Only then did he tell his wife everything that had happened between Shen Mu, Shen Yan, and the Queen of Southern Xinjiang. Except for hiding his own identity, he told her everything else in detail.
First of all, this matter is complicated and cannot be explained in a few words.
Secondly, my wife had once disguised herself as my brother and fought alongside my grandfather on the battlefield. She had fought many battles with Xining, and was once severely injured by a Xining general named Yao Zhang. She had to recuperate for three months before recovering...
When I was chatting with my wife a few days ago, she mentioned it and I think she is still upset about it.
If he was implicated and blamed by his wife because of his identity as the second prince of Xining, it would be more trouble than it was worth.
So he unconsciously concealed the matter. Although he knew that he couldn't keep it secret for long, he decided to keep it secret for as long as he could. It was better if the day came later.
Shen Nanxing frowned slightly: "In other words, Shen Yan has disappeared, and now that person is Shen Mu?"
"Yes." Fu Jiuli nodded frankly, "But he still seems to want to return the body to Shen Yan... But by now he should have reunited with the Queen of Southern Xinjiang. I'm afraid Shen Yan has no chance of returning."
Seeing the anxiety on his wife's face, Fu Jiuli comforted her, "Don't worry, madam. We've gotten some clues about my father-in-law. The place where he was killed has been found, and my people are still investigating. It shouldn't be long before we find his body."
Shen Nanxing hummed softly and felt depressed.
Fu Jiuli pulled his wife into his arms and gently kissed the top of her head. "Don't be sad, madam. No matter what happens in the future, your husband will always be with you."
"Yeah." Shen Nanxing rubbed against her husband's arms, still feeling very sad in her heart. She had never even seen her biological father, and he was gone forever.
Fu Jiuli held his wife close to him, unsure how to comfort her. But he remembered something that might make her happy.
He hurriedly said to his wife, "Madam, the old gardener of Nanyang Marquis Mansion has been found."
Shen Nanxing was indeed in the mood. Her eyes lit up, and she came out of her husband's arms and asked anxiously, "Where is it?"
"Netherworld Valley."
"How did he end up in the Nether Valley?" Shen Nanxing asked, grabbing her husband's sleeve, her eyes full of confusion.
"On the day of our wedding, the old doctor and his wife encountered him outside the mansion. Seeing that he had serious old injuries and couldn't speak, they took him back to Nether Valley."
Fu Jiuli patted his wife's head and said, "The old doctor and his wife are very skilled. They might be able to cure his old injuries. If you're worried, let's go see him tomorrow."
Shen Nanxing naturally agreed.
The next morning, after breakfast, the two went straight to the Nether Valley.
Mrs. Wenxiang received the letter in advance and was waiting at the door early. As soon as she saw Shen Nanxing, she pulled her in affectionately.
"So that disfigured old man is your family's gardener. I guess you treat him very well on a daily basis! No wonder he was hiding outside the palace on your wedding day. I guess he was reluctant to let you get married..."
Shen Nanxing pursed her lips, remembering how the old gardener had come to see her on her wedding day, but her brother had him forcibly sent back to Plum Garden. Unexpectedly, he'd sneaked back to the Prince Li's mansion to see her again...
A strong sense of guilt welled up in Shen Nanxing's heart, and anxiety appeared in her eyes: "Aunt, where is he now? Can you take me to see him?"
"Don't worry." Madam Wenxiang patted her hands and said, "Auntie will take you to see him right away!"
"He's been trying to find a way to escape for a while now, and we were afraid he wouldn't survive if he went out in this state, so we didn't let him go. It's good that you're here. You can persuade him to stay in the valley and heal his wounds, and then go back when he's better."
"Speaking of his injuries, tsk tsk, it's truly heartbreaking. His face is disfigured, his throat is burned, and there are dozens of toxins in his body. He must have suffered unimaginable torture..."
When Shen Nanxing heard this, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes.
Madam Wen Xiang became anxious when she saw her crying: "Don't cry, my daughter. Fortunately, he is lucky to have met us. His injuries and poison can all be cured, they can all be cured!"
"Really?" Shen Nanxing stopped and looked at Mrs. Wen Xiang with tears in her eyes.
Madam Wenxiang smiled and said, "Who is Auntie? I'm not bragging, there is no disease in this world that I can't cure!"
The old doctor and Fu Jiuli followed behind them. Upon hearing this, the old doctor glared and shouted, "You old woman, you're just boasting. That old gardener clearly has a poison in his body, and you can't cure it!"
Madam Wen Xiang clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and ignored him. She only said to Shen Nanxing, "My daughter, don't listen to his nonsense. Don't worry, the poison has been resolved, ah!"
Divine Doctor Shen was not happy: "That poison was obviously from old..." Before he could finish his words, Fu Jiuli's cold voice came from the side.
"I advise you to shut up."
"Why are you shutting up? It was obviously me who cured the poison. The old woman didn't know how to..." Although he was not convinced, the old doctor Shen lowered his voice so that his words would not reach the ears of the old woman in front of him.
Fu Jiuli stopped and gave him a meaningful look. "Do you want to piss Madam Wenxiang off again? Do you still remember why you named yourself Shen Nanqiang?"
"I..." Old Doctor Shen was speechless.
He and Nie Wenxiang had known each other for a long time, and Nie Wenxiang had always looked down on him. He had vowed at that time to win over Nie Wenxiang and make her his wife.
Therefore, this name means "never turn back until you hit the wall".
Later, he pursued her relentlessly for a long time, and they finally got married. However, before they had even had a few days of comfortable life together, they started quarreling frequently, and then... she just walked away in anger...
He left for many years.
Seeing that he had listened, Fu Jiuli laughed and said, "If you want the truth, go and fight her to the death."
"If you want a wife, then she is the one who can cure the poison."
Divine Doctor Shen was silent for a long time, then patted Fu Jiuli's shoulder heavily. "Thank you, little brat!"
Then he chased after her: "Old woman, wait for me!"
"I remember now, it was you who detoxified the poison! The old man doesn't know how to..."
