Mistakenly Connected to the Jade Flower Branch

Alright, alright! They've said everything, what else can Luo An say?

It's one thing to leave him with two children, but he also took all the money, not even leaving him any money for food. Even bandits are better than Xu Sheng. Luo An's gaze fell on Xu Chengyao, who was focused on eating.

Xu Chengyao acted as if he hadn't heard the officials' words, and cleaned his bowl until it was spotless, as if he had washed it. He then met Luo An's gaze and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Luo An said, "I'm not hungry."

Xu Chengyao unceremoniously poured Luo An's bowl of rice into his own bowl and placed the empty bowl back in front of Luo An: "Every grain of rice is hard-earned. The Grand Tutor said that we should not waste food."

Luo An got up, picked up his medicine box, and walked out. By the time the others reacted, Luo An had already disappeared from their sight.

By the time Eunuch Wei came to his senses and chased after Luo An, Luo An had already disappeared. He could only shout to the sky, "Your Highness, it's raining."

Xu Chengyao took a couple of bites, then, as if remembering something, dropped his chopsticks, grabbed two umbrellas, and chased after her.

Luo An stood outside the palace gates gazing at the sky. When he saw Xu Chengyao chasing after him, he handed him the medicine box.

Xu Chengyao hesitated for a moment, then resignedly took the medicine box and handed him an umbrella.

Luo An was somewhat surprised, and as he took the umbrella, he hung a gold coin on his waist.

The light mist gradually turned into a drizzle. Neither of them carried an umbrella, and they walked along the main streets and alleys for almost half an hour. As it got dark and rained, they could barely see the road anymore if they continued walking.

Xu Chengyao, carrying the medicine chest, began to feel pain in his shoulders and legs, and his clothes became soaked with sweat. He walked slower and slower, thinking to himself, "I don't know what's gotten into me, inexplicably making you carry this medicine chest. If you keep going, I'll just throw it away."

Luo An probably sensed his thoughts and finally, in a fit of pity, stopped in front of a large mansion with two big characters on the lintel: Qian Mansion.

Xu Chengyao called out from afar, "Have we arrived yet?"

Luo An nodded slightly. It was actually not very clear what Luo An was doing from this distance. Xu Chengyao felt like he had been saved and ran over.

Before he even got close, Xu Chengyao heard a heart-wrenching cry: "Why am I so unlucky... My good son is paralyzed... My daughter-in-law and unborn child died... I'm all alone now... My son... My daughter-in-law... My grandson..."

Luo An said to Xu Chengyao, "Knock on the door."

What did he think of him? A medical apprentice? After all, he was the eldest prince. Xu Chengyao was exhausted and, in a fit of temper, turned his head away: "Knock it yourself."

Luo An waited for a while, then turned around and continued walking forward.

"Wait!" Xu Chengyao shouted as he rushed up the steps, pounding on the door and venting his anger on it.

The doorman was about twenty years old, tall and strong like a bear. He was about to yell and curse when he glanced at Luo An standing in the rain, dressed in an apricot-white robe like a god, and his imposing manner immediately diminished: "What are you doing here?"

Luo An looked towards the eastern sky: "The Black and White Impermanence have come and gone, it must be that someone in your household is not destined to die. I am a physician from Heaven and Earth, and I request an audience with the head of your household."

Xu Chengyao was shocked. He followed Luo An's gaze to the east. The sky above was gloomy, and the sky to the east was pitch black: Could it be that the underworld is not underground, but in the east?

The gatekeeper stammered, "I...I...I'll go and report right away."

Luo An braced himself against the door, preventing the gatekeeper from closing it: "No need to announce our arrival, just lead us in."

As if struck by a sudden thought, the doorman's expression changed drastically, and he cursed, "Where did this swindler come from? Get lost!"

Xu Chengyao kicked the gatekeeper's knees repeatedly. Two sharp cracks rang out, and the gatekeeper immediately knelt on the ground, howling in pain, "A ghost..."

The gatekeeper hadn't noticed Xu Chengyao standing by the door when he was standing, but now that he was kneeling down, he saw a child and pointed at Xu Chengyao, saying, "You dare kick me..."

Before he could even utter the word "Master," Xu Chengyao kicked the gatekeeper in the face, and the gatekeeper, clutching his nose, howled and fell backward.

As Luo An led Xu Chengyao inside, a middle-aged woman dressed in elaborate attire approached them with a group of servants carrying large knives, looking menacing.

Luo An stopped and took a step back to stand next to Xu Chengyao, then took another step back to stand behind Xu Chengyao.

Xu Chengyao was shocked again. This was the first time he had ever seen such an irresponsible adult.

Two fists can't beat four hands. Doctor Luo Anwen is probably not skilled in martial arts, and he definitely can't deal with this large group of servants by himself.

Xu Chengyao preemptively said, "Madam, we are physicians from Heaven and Earth, and we request an audience with the head of your household."

The middle-aged woman's almond-shaped eyes narrowed: "That's me, young master. What brings you here?"

Xu Chengyao asked, "We heard weeping coming from your residence. Is there a sick person who needs medical treatment?"

The middle-aged woman didn't take the child seriously: "It's my eldest son who is seriously ill. We have already invited the most famous doctor in Qinzhou City, Dr. Li, so we won't trouble the young master."

Xu Chengyao had no choice but to turn and look at Luo An. The middle-aged woman's gaze followed and fell on Luo An. She was surprised to find that there was such an extraordinary man in the world, and her heart was stirred.

She stepped forward, circled around Luo An, and stood in front of him, raising her jeweled, opulent hand to place it on his shoulder. Luo An took a step back, and the middle-aged woman's hand missed its mark.

The middle-aged woman frowned slightly and took a step forward. Luo An continued to retreat, while the middle-aged woman continued to press forward... At this rate, they would soon be forced to retreat to the door and return home.

Xu Chengyao thought Luo An was utterly useless. Without uttering a single word or making a single move, he was chased away like a dog by a woman. So what was the point of him following Luo An for half an hour in the rain, carrying his medicine box? Just to be a dog for once?

Xu Chengyao suddenly shouted, "Indecent assault! Indecent assault! Help! Madam is committing indecent assault... Help! Indecent assault! Madam is committing indecent assault... Help! Indecent assault! Madam is committing indecent assault..."

The middle-aged woman was shocked, the rows of servants froze, the wailing gatekeeper on the ground fell silent, and the crying inside stopped. The entire courtyard echoed with a child's shrill voice: "Help!...Indecent assault!...Madam, you've assaulted me!"

A woman with graying temples rushed over with several middle-aged men. Her voice was hoarse as she shouted, "Aunt Feng, the master's body is not yet cold, and the eldest young master is unconscious. How can you publicly molest a guest in the mansion? What is your punishment?"

Aunt Feng was about to retort: ​​"I..."

Xu Chengyao interrupted her, his breath spitting out the words, leaving no one able to get a word in edgewise: "Drowning in a pig cage, drowning in a pig cage, drowning in a pig cage, drowning in a pig cage, drowning in a pig cage, drowning in a pig cage..."

Aunt Feng was both shocked and furious, and raised her hand to hit Xu Chengyao. In a one-on-one fight, Xu Chengyao was not afraid at all. He grabbed Aunt Feng's hand and twisted it outward, while kicking Aunt Feng's knee at the same time. Aunt Feng fell to the ground and howled.

One of the middle-aged men shouted at the servants, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and help them down!"

Is this how it's resolved so easily? Xu Chengyao watched as the servants helped Aunt Feng and the gatekeeper away, and felt that the people in this mansion were not quite right. Without asking any more questions, they just convicted Aunt Feng?
