Zhu Xiuyuan spoke eloquently, telling the truth about the fake medicine and his own speculations.

After hearing this, his father-in-law Dong Cheng immediately realized that something was wrong. This was extremely unusual!

Dong Cheng has lived in Jiangzhou for most of his life and is very familiar with Jiangzhou City.

Although he did not know every plant and tree in the city, due to his position, it was difficult for Dong Cheng not to know all the popular events, anecdotes and other things that happened in the city.

But he rarely hears about counterfeit medicine incidents, such as so and so buying counterfeit medicine, or which pharmacy or drug shop violates their conscience and blatantly manufactures and sells counterfeit medicine, etc.!

But now, a rare "strange thing" like "buying fake medicine" has happened, and a real case happened in Jiangzhou City, which Dong Cheng is familiar with!

It happened to be at this point in time, and it happened to the Dong family!

In the past two days, Dong Cheng had just taken control of the power of Hucao and Cangcao, wresting them from the hands of Jiangzhou Governor and Jiangzhou Sima.

In such a sensitive period, if something like this happens, isn't it obvious that something is wrong?

His father-in-law, Dong Cheng, realized the seriousness of the matter. He thought about it for a long time and did not eat breakfast. He only took a steamed bun and put it in his hand. After giving Zhu Xiuyuan a word, he immediately got up and rushed to the Yamen.

... Just as Dong Cheng left from the front door, Dong Shuyu walked in from the back door.

"Why is daddy gone?"

Dong Shuyu walked forward slowly with light steps, followed by two maids, Chun Xue and Dong Mei. She happened to see Dong Cheng's clothes disappear outside the front door.

When he said this sentence at the end, Dong Shuyu's eyes had moved from the front door where Dong Cheng disappeared to Zhu Xiuyuan's face, with a faint look of doubt on his face.

"There is an emergency in the yamen, so my father-in-law went first." Zhu Xiuyuan pursed his lips and glanced at Dong Shuyu.

"Oh... By the way, how is Zhen'er? Is Dr. Zhang's medicine effective?"

Chunxue and Dongmei pulled out a chair on the left and right, which was the one where Dong Shuyu usually sat.

Dong Shuyu spoke slowly and sat down equally slowly.

The whole process was very elegant, very ladylike, and completely different from his wife Dong Shuzhen's style.

In fact, in Dong Shuyu's mind, she had vaguely guessed that Dong Shuzhen had no problem. If there was really a problem, she would not have been lying on the bed all the time last night, and she would have been woken up long ago...

Because Dong Shuzhen's condition has developed to a very dangerous stage, if Dr. Zhang's medicine doesn't work, then...

However, you still need to ask Zhu Xiuyuan about the specific situation. Although Dong Shuyu is smart, things are fickle and no one can guarantee or guarantee anything.

"Thank you, Lao Shuyu, for your concern. Madam, she woke up this morning and ate something. In my opinion, the disease is probably half cured!"

Zhu Xiuyuan turned sideways and looked at Dong Shuyu. Because of the angle, Zhu Xiuyuan could see Dong Shuyu's sitting posture at a glance.

She only sat on two-thirds of the chair, and her waist was stretched like a willow by a belt. She was astonishingly "pretty" and had ample upper and lower parts...

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately looked away, not daring to take a closer look.

"Really, that's great!" Dong Shuyu's face showed a rare joy, and he didn't seem to notice Zhu Xiuyuan's peek.

…

When Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu were alone, he always felt a little embarrassed and even spoke unnaturally.

Dong Shuyu was an extremely intelligent woman, and her mind was extremely delicate. By observing his words and expressions, she immediately noticed something unusual about Zhu Xiuyuan.

In fact, as far as the trivial matter between the two of them is concerned, Dong Shuyu has long since put it down. Her current mentality is different from that of a boudoir girl who is waiting for marriage and is full of fantasies about her future husband...

Ever since he was given the bad reputation of being a "kefu", the thoughts of marriage have long faded or even completely disappeared in Dong Shuyu's heart.

My feelings for Zhu Xiuyuan... are very confusing!

But at least she can be sure that she has no intention of blaming Zhu Xiuyuan!

Even back in the back hall of Dong's Tea House, Zhu Xiuyuan had done some "discourteous" things to her.

Dong Shuyu has "persuaded" herself to face Zhu Xiuyuan with a normal heart.

But Zhu Xiuyuan's abnormal behavior was like a fuse, which could easily ignite the "gunpowder" buried in Dong Shuyu's heart. It was also like a paddle, which occasionally fiddled with her calm inner lake...

This made Dong Shuyu feel embarrassed.

The final result is that the relationship between the two becomes increasingly awkward.

"I've finished eating." Dong Shuyu put down the bowls and chopsticks, "Let's go see Zhen'er!"

"That's fine."

Zhu Xiuyuan glanced at the steamed bun half-eaten by Dong Shuyu and pursed his lips.

To be honest, he also wanted to end this awkward conversation quickly.

The two of them stood up together and left the table directly.

The leftovers on the table will naturally be picked up by servants.

Calling the residue on the table "leftovers" is actually a bit exaggerated. Because his father-in-law, Dong Cheng, only took away one steamed bun, and Dong Shuyu only took a small bite and drank two mouthfuls of porridge.

Zhu Xiuyuan had already eaten before he came here, and he barely ate much.

There was a lot of breakfast left on the table, most of which were untouched.

If Qiu Wen was here, maybe she would be happy.

But Qiu Wen was definitely not happy because Zhu Xiuyuan did not allow her to collect snacks from the table.

...Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu walked side by side, left from the front door of the back hall, walked slowly along the long corridor, and headed towards the east courtyard.

As soon as I walked out of the front door of the back hall, the sound of raindrops came one after another.

On both sides of the long corridor, the dripping raindrops are like hanging bead curtains, continuous and continuous.

Outside the "bead curtain", there is continuous light rain, blowing in the wind.

Looking from a distance, everything seems to be covered with a mysterious veil.

Phew! Phew! Phew!

The breeze mixed with water mist blew gently by, bringing a sense of refreshment to Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu. Their spirits were lifted, and it seemed that the embarrassment just now was completely resolved.

"It seems like it's been raining for a long time!"

Zhu Xiuyuan walked slowly forward following Dong Shuyu's rhythm while looking around. In the end, he discovered that climate or weather was always the golden key to open a topic.

"Well, this rain is indeed something unusual!"

Dong Shuyu nodded with deep approval.

I just don't know if she said this to cooperate with Zhu Xiuyuan, or if she really thinks this rain is unusual.

"How to say?"

Zhu Xiuyuan became interested and prepared to continue this topic.

Dong Shuyu walked very slowly with graceful steps, like a butterfly dancing. After hearing Zhu Xiuyuan's question, she turned her head and looked at the rain curtain outside the corridor.
