Dong Shuzhen's appetite was very small. She only ate one-third of a small bowl of porridge and only half of a steamed bun. Compared with her usual food intake, it was much less.

Zhu Xiuyuan thought that it might be because the disease had not been completely eliminated, which affected his appetite.

Nine doses of medicine, only one dose has been taken so far...

So Zhu Xiuyuan didn't let her eat more, and he ate all the remaining porridge, buns, steamed buns, etc. by himself.

…

Soon after the meal, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu brought the prepared medicine and put it in a food box.

What accompanied them was a strong smell of Chinese medicine that was indissoluble.

The smell is a bit overpowering, and even a normal person like Zhu Xiuyuan can't stand it.

But this medicine is indeed a good thing, a good medicine that can cure diseases!

So Zhu Xiuyuan immediately started the process of "administering medicine".

He first asked Xia Wu to take out the soup from the food box and put it on the table to cool down first.

Then they took Qiu Wen to Dong Shuzhen's bed and prepared to work together to "hold down" Dong Shuzhen...

This set of "medication" procedures had been carried out many times in the past few days...because his little wife did not want to take the medicine properly.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Qiu Wen came to Dong Shuzhen's bed and took a closer look. They saw that the embroidered brocade quilt had been pulled up, covering Dong Shuzhen's entire head and face.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and Qiu Wen also pursed her lips.

You can't hide, you still have to drink the medicine you need.

"Madam, get up and take some medicine."

Zhu Xiuyuan laughed and sat on the outer bedside, causing the entire bed to sink.

Qiu Wen took off her embroidered shoes, climbed onto the couch, passed Dong Shuzhen, and came to the inside.

They prepared to attack from both sides.

However, Dong Shuzhen, whose head and face was covered by a brocade quilt, turned a deaf ear to him, did not move or reply.

Pretend to sleep!

Zhu Xiuyuan raised the corner of his mouth, patted the quilt gently with his hand, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is the medicine prescribed by Divine Doctor Zhang himself. It is very effective. You woke up after just one dose..."

Dong Shuzhen remained still and continued to pretend to sleep.

Zhu Xiuyuan had no choice but to look at Qiu Wen on the other side and nodded to each other.

Suddenly, the quilt covering Dong Shuzhen's entire head and face was ruthlessly lifted open with a "pop" sound.

Dong Shuzhen, who was under the brocade quilt, was indeed awake, her big round eyes moving around with a look of horror.

After seeing the quilt being lifted, she immediately closed her eyes again...

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, and together with Qiu Wen, they used their strength to grab Dong Shuzhen's arms, one on the left and the other on the right, and pulled her up.

Zhu Xiuyuan took her into his arms and let her head rest on his shoulder.

At the moment of contact, Zhu Xiuyuan clearly noticed something unusual.

Dong Shuzhen's small body stiffened for a moment, but then softened immediately.

Because this act of intimacy was not initiated by Dong Shuzhen, but was "forced".

So she didn't tremble with shyness.

At this time, Xia Wu walked over holding a medicine bowl in both hands.

Zhu Xiuyuan turned his head and saw that his little lady was still pretending to sleep with her eyes closed tightly.

"Madam, the medicine is here, wake up quickly." Zhu Xiuyuan shook his shoulders, but Dong Shuzhen remained unmoved.

"Open your eyes quickly, or I will..."

Zhu Xiuyuan deliberately prolonged the ending sound, causing Dong Shuzhen's eyebrows to tremble...

"Ah...haha...haha...husband, stop, stop..."

Dong Shuzhen suddenly screamed and laughed like a silver bell, and the flowers trembled in his arms.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't do anything, he just scratched her armpit.

After shouting and laughing, Dong Shuzhen leaned on Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder with a sad face, looking pitiful.

"Be good, you will get better after drinking this medicine. When you get better, I will take you out to play!"

Zhu Xiuyuan touched her head. This trick worked repeatedly!

"I'm going to play on the big mountain outside the south gate!"

"Okay, it's up to you!"

"We also have to hunt in the mountains and roast rabbits to eat."

"Okay, it's up to you!"

"I want to climb trees and pick wild fruits to eat!"

"Can……"

"..."

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but hold his forehead, feeling a faint headache.

Although this trick was tried and tested, he didn't know how much he had promised.

Qiu Wen and Xia Wu pursed their lips and smiled. This young lady used to only torment the two of them, but now she is fine. She has an uncle to share the "firepower". It's so cool!

…

After finally coaxing Dong Shuzhen to drink the bowl of medicine and helping her lie down, Zhu Xiuyuan told Qiu Wen and Xia Wu to take good care of Dong Shuzhen.

He took advantage of the fact that it was still early and walked all the way to the back hall of the west courtyard.

It was time for breakfast. Zhu Xiuyuan wanted to find his father-in-law, so he naturally came to the back hall of the west courtyard.

Breakfast time is also a rare time for the Dong family to get together.

"A good son-in-law?"

Zhu Xiuyuan had just stepped through the door of the back hall with one foot, when his father-in-law Dong Cheng also entered from the other door at the same time.

"Father-in-law!" Zhu Xiuyuan handed over his hand.

"How is Zhen'er? How effective is Doctor Zhang's medicine?"

Dong Cheng pulled out his chair and sat down, and asked casually.

At this time, the table was already covered with breakfast.

"Father-in-law, my wife woke up this morning and ate something. Just now, my son-in-law gave her the second dose of medicine." Zhu Xiuyuan also pulled up his chair and sat down.

"It'll be good if you wake up, it'll be good if you wake up!" Dong Cheng nodded happily and smiled from ear to ear.

Originally, these two days should have been Dong Cheng's proud time, because he once again took control of Hucao.

In addition to the Cang Cao who was only captured a few days ago, among the three Cao Cao of "Gong, Cang, Hu", only the Gong Cao is left under his control...

There were six Cao Cao in the state government. In the past, Dong Cheng lost the power of three Cao Cao. Now he has regained two Cao Cao in a row. This is a great event. Dong Cheng finally avenged his shame and made a beautiful turnaround.

However, Dong Shuzhen's illness could not be cured for a long time, which cast a shadow in Dong Cheng's heart.

If the youngest daughter has some shortcomings, so what if he becomes the governor...

For his youngest daughter Dong Shuzhen, although Dong Cheng often scolded her severely and controlled her very strictly, he would not let her go out... But this is not a kind of father's love!

So when Dong Cheng heard that Dong Shuzhen's condition began to improve, he was very happy.

"Okay! Divine Doctor Zhang's medical skills are indeed well-deserved. Well... dear son-in-law, if you have time, please make a special trip to visit Divine Doctor Zhang. You can give me a generous gift!"

"My virtuous son-in-law knows."

Zhu Xiuyuan handed over his hand, and then said: "But father-in-law, this time my wife's illness has not been cured for a long time, I'm afraid there is a conspiracy!"

"oh?!"

Dong Cheng made a "chuan" shape between his eyebrows, and couldn't help but sit upright. His face instantly became serious, and he asked: "Why did the virtuous son-in-law say this?"

Zhu Xiuyuan organized his thoughts and told everything about the counterfeit medicine and his guesses...

Although the consequences of this incident were bad, Zhu Xiuyuan did not intend to investigate on his own because he had to personally supervise Dong Shuzhen to finish drinking the nine doses of medicine.
