"Who do you want to go?" An You changed his approach. If he could not go to the battlefield with Li Xi, he had to make sure that there were safe people around Li Xi, otherwise he would not allow Li Xi to leave the palace.
"Lan Qingyan." Li Xi softly said a name. Xinyi was not surprised. Lan Qingyan was Feng Chen's best friend, so he would naturally help to rescue Feng Chen. However, An You's expression was uncertain. After listening to Li Xi's words, he remained silent for a long time.
Chapter 116 Make a Friend
The young man didn't think much about it and responded casually: "I see, if you want to go, you can't go now, you still have to take care of these patients!"
Zhou Zhen echoed a few times, and the young man turned and left. He still had a lot of things to do.
Village Chief Liu had his eyes closed and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Zhou Zhen lowered his head and his expression became heavier the more he looked.
After a while, he turned decisively and left the room and went to the next room.
Doctor Zhao stopped flipping the pages of the book in his hand, looked up at the young man who suddenly appeared beside him, and his face was very unhappy: "If you are not going to take care of the patient, what are you doing here?!"
His severity naturally did not scare Zhou Zhen. Zhou Zhen's face was as calm as snow, and he asked, "I heard that Doctor Zhao has been looking for a prescription for many days. Does he have a cure now?"
Doctor Zhao was embarrassed for a moment after hearing this, but soon recovered. He first looked Zhou Zhen up and down, then laughed: "How can this plague be so easy to cure? I have searched more than ten ancient books, but I still have no clue. Sigh..."
It’s a shame to say that the city lord gave him such an important task, but he couldn’t find any way to do it.
"Okay, go outside and help take care of the patients. I'll let you know as soon as I find a solution. After all, I don't want to see the plague spread."
Doctor Zhao waved his hand to signal him to go out, but Zhou Zhen still stood there without moving: "I'm afraid that Tianmen Village Chief Liu is dying. Can you go see him first?"
When Doctor Zhao heard this, his face fell: "I can't do anything about it, Village Chief Liu! He was infected early, and he's lucky to be alive now! I can't cure him from now on!"
He has always been respected, even the city lord speaks to him politely. He has never met a junior like Zhou Zhen who dares to confront him!
Zhou Zhen also noticed that Divine Doctor Zhao was angry. He sneered in his heart and shook his head: "Then I'll leave first."
He didn't care about Doctor Zhao who was fussing at him behind him. He left the room and stopped taking care of the patients. He just left the yard.
Seeing him leave, Su Qingqian immediately put down the work in her hands and shouted at his back: "Brother Zhen! Why are you leaving?"
Zhou Zhen paused, and said without turning his head: "There is no need to stay here any longer."
After saying that, he left with big strides.
The rest of the people looked at each other, not understanding why Zhou Zhen suddenly changed his attitude. Su Qingqian clapped her hands and said, "I'll go see him!" She ran forward along the path Zhou Zhen had left, and soon caught up with him.
"Brother Zhen! Wait for me!"
The black figure in front stopped, and Zhou Zhen turned his head slightly to look at her: "What's the matter?"
Su Qingqian pulled the hem of her clothes and said, "Don't you need to take care of those patients?" "I got some clues about the ancient tomb and I plan to go investigate now." Zhou Zhen said, "Village Chief Liu is unconscious. Although we know the location of the ancient tomb, we can't get in without him."
"so what should I do now?"
Su Qingqian was anxious: "If Village Chief Liu died like this, then we can't enter the ancient tomb at all? Is there any other way?"
Zhou Zhen shook his head: "My cousin originally placed the treasure map in the ancient tomb, and the key was kept by Village Chief Liu. We have no way of getting it.
I don’t know what the key is, or even which tomb it is.”
He thought for a moment and then said, "I'm going to give you a task now. Go get close to Dr. Zhao and see if you can get any clues from him!"
Su Qingqian and Su Mei suddenly became embarrassed and looked very unhappy.
Su Qingqian was especially silent. She looked at Zhou Zhen uneasily, and after choosing her words, she dared to speak: "Xiao Yu...was arranged by Grandpa. We, we have no right to make the decision. Second Uncle also acquiesced to this matter. Although I feel very sorry for Xiao Yu, I really can't help him."
All we can do is send him more food and clothes so that he won’t go hungry or cold.
Su Yu couldn't say that he liked his sister Su Qingqian very much. His temper had become rather cold over the years, especially towards the Su family, whom he hated extremely.
Even though Su Qingqian was pretty nice to him, she didn't like him that much.
As for Su Mei, my biological sister...
Ah
He was not polite and spoke harshly to Su Mei: "What are you doing here? You are not welcome here! Get out!"
"Xiao Yu! Don't say that!" Su Qingqian hurriedly grabbed his hand, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Su Yu!
Su Mei also didn't want to come to this shabby place. If Su Qingqian hadn't tried hard to pull her here, she wouldn't want to see this jinx!
"Have you grown up now? You dare to disobey your sister? Don't you see who you are?" Su Mei has always beaten and scolded Su Yu. Anyway, this boy doesn't know martial arts, so she lets her beat and scold him.
But today, Su Yu didn't know what was wrong with him, and he had to argue with her: "If you think I'm nothing, then why are you still here with such a shameless face? Get out of here now!"
"You bastard!" Su Mei was so angry that she stretched out her hand and was about to slap him!
"stop!"
Zhou Zhen immediately stopped Su Mei when he saw that something was wrong. Her palm obviously contained a lot of internal force, and Su Yu didn't know martial arts, so if this palm hit him, he would either die or be seriously injured!
This is too cruel. He is my own brother.
Su Mei timidly withdrew her hand. She didn't dare to go against Zhou Zhen, so she could only glare at Su Yu fiercely.
"Xiao Mei! Why are you arguing with Xiao Yu again?" Su Qingqian was most afraid of the two of them fighting in front of her, especially now in front of Zhou Zhen.
Although Su Yu was not injured, the scar left by the fight with the street thugs yesterday had opened again and was slowly oozing blood.
He snorted, "Get out of here!"
Su Mei wanted to rush forward to teach him a lesson again, but Su Qingqian stopped her in time: "Xiao Mei! That's enough!"
Shen Muning watched the actions and expressions of the Su siblings and had something in mind.
With a glance, she saw Su Yu's clothes slowly oozing dark color, and a very faint smell of blood drifted into her nose.
She slowly walked to Su Yu's side, took out a few bottles of medicine Zhou Zhen had given her and stuffed them into his hands: "You have to treat the wound quickly!"
Su Yu was stunned and did not take the medicine, but just stared at her blankly.
Shen Mu Ning didn't care about that. He patted him on the head and said, "Silly boy, take the medicine quickly! The wound cannot be taken lightly!"
His eyes flickered slightly and he took the medicine.
This action fell
There was another burst of anger in Su Qingqian's eyes!
Is this impostor trying to gain her cousin's trust?
Are you kidding me? In front of her?
Just as he was about to attack, Zhou Zhen walked up to Su Yu and said to him seriously: "Little brother, this is Ningning's kindness. Take the medicine and treat the wound as soon as possible! Otherwise, the sequelae will be a big problem!"
Su Yu hesitated for a while, then looked into Shen Mu Ning's gentle eyes, and felt warmer in her heart: "Thank you."
Su Qingqian was speechless.
Finally, she put down her lunch box and made up an excuse to go back. On the way back, Su Mei had been quietly observing her expression and asked tentatively: "Sister, do you... still have feelings for Brother Zhou?"
Her body suddenly stopped!
After hesitating for a while, she nodded: "Yes, I still like him."
"But he already has two wives." Su Mei's brows revealed a bit of worry. She was afraid that Su Qingqian would think of becoming Zhou Zhen's concubine.
How could the daughter of the Su family become someone else's concubine?
Su Qingqian shook her head, a faint smile appeared on her face: "Of course I won't be a concubine, I want to be his legal wife! His only woman!"
Su Mei was stunned!
"Xiaomei, I can't tell you too clearly right now!" Su Qingqian patted her shoulder and said, "You must remember that Shen Mu Ning is my enemy, and I will bring her down no matter what!
This woman is not as gentle and harmless as she appears to be. In fact, she is the most vicious woman! She has always covered herself with a gentle and kind face, and Brother Zhen has been deceived by her! "
Su Mei was stunned for a moment, something flashed in the depths of her eyes, and she quickly returned to her normal self. She reached out her hand to cheer her up: "Sister! I support you no matter what!"
Su Qingqian was happy then: "This is my good sister!"
-
In the next two days, Shen Muning went to see Su Yu almost every time she had nothing to do. She found that although this child was cold, she still had some softness in her heart.
Perhaps it was his growth experience that made him much more mature than his peers. His temperament became cold and sensitive, and there was always a lingering gloom between his brows.
Instead, she felt a little sorry for the child.
Zhou Zhen also told her that he had found Grandpa Su and asked about Su Yu. Su Zhengqi didn't seem to want to talk about this grandson, so he had to give up.
There was no other way, Shen Muning could only be nicer to Su Yu while he was still in the Su family.
This time, she took Xiaochun to find Su Yu again, but found that he was not at home at all.
After asking several servants nearby, I learned that he was put in solitary confinement by the second young master Su.
As for the reason for the confinement, the servants didn't know.
I can only give up.
"Sister, I know you feel sorry for Young Master Su, but this is someone else's family affair after all, we can't interfere too much." Xiaochun persuaded Shen Muning who wanted to go find Su Yu. She thought about it and realized that she could not help Su Yu solve the fundamental problem at all, and it would be too irrational to go find someone this time.
But she never understood why the Su family's attitude towards Su Yu was so different from that towards Su Qingqian and Su Mei.
After all, Su Yu is a son? In this patriarchal society where men are valued over women,
Shouldn't we take better care of it?
How come Su Yu lives worse than a servant?
Su Yu’s peach blossom eyes, which were unlike anyone else in the Su family, suddenly flashed through my mind, and an answer slowly emerged in my heart.
Could it be?
She held her chin with her hands, her eyes darkening: If that's the case, everything makes sense.
But Su Yu is innocent.
Xiaochun looked at Shen Muning who looked like she was deep in thought, and asked curiously, "Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Muning came back to his senses: "I have an idea in my mind...but I can't tell you now."
Xiaochun: "Ah?"
After joking with Ye Qinyuan, with whom she had always had the best relationship, she secretly looked at Zhou Zhen, but saw that he was eating with an expressionless face and didn't even look at her.
She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Just now, when she walked in, Brother Zhen looked at her calmly, then turned his eyes away and picked up some food for Shen Muning.
