Reborn as a doctor, he takes revenge and ruthlessly punishes the scum.

"Shuyan?"

Yu Wantao hurried back with a worried expression. Reaching the door, he saw Yu Shuyan, who hadn't returned in a long time, and a flicker of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you back?"

As for this, her father, who had doted on her since childhood and was gentle by nature, dared to plead with the princess for her sake, ultimately incurring her hatred and being beheaded.

Yu Shuyan felt extremely ashamed because of her distrust of him in her past life.

However, she knew that what Yu Wantao liked most was her acting coquettishly towards him; it was a daughter's deepest dependence on her father.

Therefore, Yu Shuyan deliberately put on a sad expression:

"Father, are you disgusted with your daughter? Don't you want me to come back? Fine, then I'll take the little dumpling and leave right now!"

It's been so many years since his precious daughter has acted like this with him.

Yu Wantao was taken aback for a moment, but quickly smiled and said:

"You brought the little dumpling too? Quick, quick, where is the little dumpling? Let Grandpa see her. As for you, you'd better hurry up and leave. The servant went out to buy medicinal herbs and brought back three plates of braised duck, but you won't get to enjoy them!"

As he spoke, he strode into the gate, deliberately avoiding looking at Yu Shuyan.

Yu Shuyan stared longingly at Yu Wantao's retreating figure as he disappeared through the doorway. Suddenly, she noticed that her father, whom she remembered as always having a straight posture, had begun to hunch slightly, and strands of white hair had started to appear in his locks.

When did my father, who was once calm and spirited, begin to have a constant worry lingering in his eyes, and appear much older?

Was it after that incident involving my older brother?

Or perhaps it's because she wasn't happy after marrying Wen Lang?

"Father, something's on your mind!"

Wu Manting's voice carried a hint of worry.

Yu Shuyan snapped out of her reverie and didn't immediately understand what she meant.

Umanting frowned and said:

"When Father came back just now, you probably didn't see it, but his face was full of worry. And he was walking back in a particularly hurried manner. This is not like the usually composed Father. Unless something serious has happened."

Yu Shuyan frowned, suddenly remembering something from her past life:

Once, the medicine from the Yu family's pharmacy seemed to have caused illness in someone.

At that time, the family carried the dying patient to Yu's Pharmacy, saying that after taking the medicine prescribed by Yu's Pharmacy, not only did the illness not get better, but the patient was also poisoned.

At that time, the patient was vomiting blood and groaning.

The whole street was drawn to the Yu family's pharmacy, where everyone gathered to watch the spectacle.

Having no other option, Yu Wantao, wanting to settle the matter peacefully, paid a large sum of money to settle the matter.

The Yu family only owned a small pharmacy and was not very wealthy.

After losing that large sum of money, the Yu family's cash flow became even more strained. They couldn't get many medicines, and with their reputation ruined, the Yu family pharmacy, which had previously been quite profitable, became increasingly difficult to operate.

From then on, the monthly allowance my father sent to the Wen family decreased, until eventually he couldn't afford it anymore.

At the time, she didn't realize how hard her father had worked.

She only complained that her father's financial support had stopped, and that she was being bullied even more severely by Wen's mother and Wen Qing in the Wen family. Physical fights were commonplace.

Looking back now, as a daughter, she was truly blinded by greed.

However, she always felt that something was not quite right about this matter.

If it is indeed a problem with the medicine from Yu's Pharmacy, then why don't the family members report it to the authorities, but instead only think about demanding compensation?

But if those people were simply trying to extort money, there were plenty of pharmacies on that street that were wealthier than theirs. Why not extort others, but specifically target their family?

Then there is only one possibility: someone must be behind them, and the person behind them doesn't want things to escalate, but only wants to bring down the Yu family.

However, she had no clue who would target Yu's Pharmacy.

"Little sister, let's go inside first!"

Wu Manting noticed that Yu Shuyan was downcast and realized it was because of her words that she was worried. Feeling annoyed that she had made Yu Shuyan worry, she comforted her.

"It's okay. No matter what happens, we're a family, and we can always get through it together. Don't worry!"

Yu Shuyan noticed her comfort, smiled and nodded, and walked into the house with her.

The arrival of the little dumpling brought smiles to the faces of the Yu family elders. The two of them kept surrounding the little dumpling, vying to hold him and take turns cuddling him.

However, Yu Shuyan could still see a hint of worry beneath Yu Wantao's smile.

A moment later, Wu Manting led a beautiful little girl into the main room. Behind her were two wet nurses, one of whom was holding a swaddled baby.

Don't tell me, these are her older brother's daughter, four-year-old Yu Yujia, and her son, Yu Xichen, who is only four or five months old.

Yu Shuyan felt another pang of pain in her heart, recalling the tragic scene from her past life where the heads of her two children rolled on the snow.

"Jia'er, quick, this is your aunt, call her aunt!"

Wu Manting smiled at Yu Yujia, gesturing for her to quickly call for help.

Yu Yujia had hardly ever seen Yu Shuyan before. A timid look flashed in her eyes as she moved closer to Wu Manting's legs and called out in a clear voice:

"aunt!"

Yu Shuyan's heart softened like a spring, and she quickly went over, squatted down in front of her, reached out and touched her little face, smiling indulgently:

"Jia'er, your aunt came in a hurry today and didn't prepare a gift for you. Tomorrow, your aunt will take you to the market to pick one out, okay?"

Children all love gifts. Jia'er's eyes lit up:

"Can I choose anything?"

Umanting, however, said:

"Jia'er, what did your mother teach you? You shouldn't ask others for gifts."

Jia'er pouted cutely:

"But Mother, Auntie isn't just anyone, she's my aunt!"

In an instant, everyone burst into laughter at her wit.

Yu Shuyan smiled and said:

"Yes, yes, Jia'er is right. Auntie is no ordinary person. So, tomorrow, Auntie will take you to pick out a gift, okay!"

Jiajie was delighted, and her gaze shifted to the little dumpling that Yu Wantao was holding in his arms, staring at her with curiosity.

The two little ones stared at each other blankly, neither of them making a sound.

Yu Wantao called out with a smile:

“Jia’er, come here. This is your cousin Wen Shuzhe. You can call him Little Dumpling.”

Umanting smiled and said:

"go quickly."

Jia'er rushed over, climbed onto Yu Wantao's other lap, and gently poked his little face, saying:

"Hello, I'm your cousin, you should call me 'sister'."

The little dumpling blinked, then smiled and drew two crescent moons in its eyes, calling out sweetly and ingratiatingly:

"Sister~"

Everyone burst into laughter again; this is the joy of family life.

Yu Shuyan held Chen Ge'er for a while longer before looking at Fu Yuqin and saying in a coquettish tone:

"Mom, I'm starving. Is dinner ready yet? Could you go check?"

Fu Yuqin, unsuspecting, smiled indulgently:

"Okay, okay, Mom will go and go see, and then I'll make you your favorite shrimp and egg steamed dish myself. Just like when you were little, you're still so eager to eat it."

With that, he got up and went to the kitchen.

Then, Yu Shuyan gave Wu Manting a look.

Wu Manting instantly understood her meaning and said to the two wet nurses behind her:

"Take Zhe-ge'er and Jia-jie'er to the small garden in the back for a while. Remember to keep a close eye on them."

Yu Wantao sensed something was wrong, frowned, but still let the wet nurses take Xiao Tuanzi and Jia Jie'er away.

"Is there something you need?"
