In the Northern Song Dynasty, he started by marrying the eighth daughter of the Su family.

After the doctor left, the door closed again, and Han Zhi and the other two returned to their room to rest.

There was silence for a moment until Yueping came into the room and said, "Young master, young lady, Young Master Lü and Young Master Zhang have arrived. They are waiting in the courtyard. Should we bring them in?"

"Please come in."

Han Zhi rubbed his face, seemingly trying to ease his serious expression. Su Zhen tenderly reached out and gently touched his face, then fanned him lightly with a handkerchief.

As a result, when Lü Huiqing and Zhang Huaimin walked in, with half of their bodies still outside, they saw this scene.

"Brother Shen! Come out! You really have no sense of humor!" Lü Huiqing shouted at this moment.

Then he smiled and said to Han Zhi, "It's alright, Brother Han, you guys continue, let's go see Lady Wang."

"I'm sorry..." Zhang Huaimin said quietly.

For the first time, Su Zhen rolled his eyes at them and scolded, "My husband's face is frozen, I'm rubbing it for him! You young men, you don't know how to study all day, all you know how to do is look for my husband."

At this moment, Lü Huiqing picked up what he was holding and said, "Madam Su has misunderstood. My purpose in coming here today is not to find Brother Han, but mainly to deliver medicine to Madam Wang."

Su Zhen didn't say anything after seeing the medicine packet in Lü Huiqing's hand, but Han Zhi said:

"Give the medicine to Yueping and Qian Su; they'll handle it."

"By the way, did you guys go out just now? You were dressed quite warmly," Zhang Huaimin said.

“We went to Jinming Pond, but before we could finish exploring, the Wang family arrived,” Shen Kuo said. “As a result, because we were busy escaping, Madam Wang caught a cold, and now she is even more ill.”

Su Zhen couldn't help but complain again, saying, "That Doctor Wang is really something, how could he treat his own daughter like that?"

Zhang Huaimin said, "It's nothing. Brother Huiqing brought some good medicinal herbs today. They are all nourishing. Brother Han can take them to Lady Wang."

"Good work."

Lu Huiqing handed the medicine packet to Yueping, who came to greet her, and then turned to Han Zhi and said, "Brother Han, I have written down the usage of these herbs on a piece of paper and put it in the medicine packet. Madam Wang's illness requires proper care. These herbs are all carefully selected by me and are quite effective for lung cough."

Han Zhi bowed and expressed his gratitude, and Shen Kuo also said, "Brother Huiqing, we are truly grateful for your trouble. This trip to Jinming Pond was originally intended to take Lady Wang to relax, but we did not expect to encounter such an unexpected turn of events."

Su Zhen sighed softly beside her: "It's all the fault of that Madam Wang's family. She is clearly a high-ranking official, but her servants act recklessly. They couldn't catch the culprit, but instead gave Madam Wang a fright."

Lu Huiqing frowned slightly: "Doctor Wang, is this just out of love for your daughter, or is it just possessiveness? Now you're even controlling your own daughter like this."

Han Zhi shook his head: "I don't know..."

Zhang Huaimin said, "Madam Wang has always been frail. This long illness must have caused Doctor Wang great concern, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find her."

At this moment, Qian Su brought in tea and poured it for everyone. Lü Huiqing picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and said:

"Brother Han, don't overwork yourself. Just do what you need to do during the seven days after the winter solstice. If there's anything you can help with, whether it's for yourself or for Lady Wang, just let us know and we'll help."

"Don't talk so seriously, it's not like you," Han Zhi said with a smile.

Lü Huiqing then returned with a playful, smiling expression, which seemed somewhat familiar. He then asked:

"Shall we take Lady Wang out for a walk this afternoon?"

Shen Kuo frowned and said, "However, there are people looking for Lady Wang outside. If we go out rashly, I'm afraid it will cause Lady Wang's old illness to relapse."

Lu Huiqing shook her head and said, "I know a place that the Wang family would never know. And they would never expect Madam Wang to go there."

Shen Kuo was somewhat tempted, yet also hesitant: "Although there is a secluded place, Madam Wang is currently in poor health. Can she withstand such an ordeal?"

Su Zhen also said worriedly, "Young Master Lü means well, but Madam Wang's illness has just worsened. I'm afraid that if something happens to her if she goes out, what should we do?"

Lu Huiqing waved his hand: "Don't worry, Madam Su. Since I dared to make this suggestion, I naturally have given it full consideration."

Han Zhi remained calm and asked, "I wonder what place Brother Lü is referring to?"

“Qingfeng Pavilion!” Lü Huiqing said.

Lu Huiqing introduced, "This Qingfeng Pavilion is a wonderful place that I discovered by chance. Although it is a restaurant, it is very elegant."

Han Zhi nodded slightly after listening: "It does sound good, but how many people come and go from Qingfeng Pavilion? What if word gets out..."

Lü Huiqing smiled and said, "Brother Han, don't worry. I know the manager of Qingfeng Pavilion well, and I've already spoken to him beforehand. He will make all the arrangements."

"There is a small courtyard in Qingfeng Pavilion. Today is not a festival, and it is still early. There are few customers in the restaurant. We will enter through a secluded path in the back courtyard without anyone noticing. There is a very quiet back courtyard."

Zhang Huaimin chimed in, "Brother Han, I've also been to Qingfeng Pavilion. The food there is extremely delicious, with several nourishing dishes that would be perfect for Lady Wang to replenish her body."

Han Zhi and Su Zhen exchanged a glance, then looked at Shen Kuo. Shen Kuo pondered for a moment, then said:

"but……"

Han Zhi was still worried about unexpected situations. He frowned and said, "Brother Huiqing, although your arrangements are thorough, things are unpredictable. Madam Wang is currently in extremely weak condition."

"What if we encounter the Wang family on the way, or some uninvited guests suddenly arrive at Qingfeng Pavilion? We are not afraid, but Madam Wang cannot withstand fright and disturbance."

Zhang Huaimin replied as usual, "Besides, if Madam Wang can't run away, does that mean Brother Shen can't run away either?"

"Then Brother Shen can just hold Lady Wang in his arms, won't that solve the problem?"

Lu Huiqing also said, "I've already said it—Madam Wang is planning to escape this time. If we don't give her some excitement, how can we live up to the word 'thrilling'?"

“This is…” Su Zhen disagreed, “It’s too terrifying. How can Madam Wang withstand such a shock?”

"Don't worry, don't worry, that's just what I said. It won't be that thrilling or terrifying," Lü Huiqing said with a smile. "We brought a carriage with us, and Brother Han also has a carriage at home. You can let Madam Wang get in the carriage in the stable first."

"Then you wait at the door. Madam Wang won't show herself the whole time, so how could you possibly be discovered?"

Shen Kuo pondered for a moment, then looked at Han Zhi and said, "Brother Han, why don't we follow Brother Huiqing's method?"

This time, Han Zhi neither refused nor hesitated, and nodded directly, saying, "In that case, I have no objection."

"Then it's decided. We'll just have to swallow our pride and have lunch here today. Is that too much to ask?"

"As long as they don't squander all my savings, it's not going too far!"
