After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 337 Take Shen Tian away
Su Chunlin was making fun of Liu Laosan, but Su Chunsen and the others quickly silenced him and took him to a side room to rest.

Madam Han was furious. "He's a grandfather now, how can he still be so tactless in his words and actions! It's infuriating!"

Su Tai asked curiously, "Mother, what secrets does Father know about the Xiong family?"

Han rolled her eyes at her, "The person is as dead as can be, why ask so many questions? Hurry up and go greet the guests!"

Su Tai could only shut up and obediently leave.

The guests outside were still enjoying their meal with great enthusiasm.

Liu Laosan woke up after sleeping for an hour and came out looking energetic again.

However, he has stopped drinking alcohol and started brewing tea instead.

During our conversation, another guest arrived outside.

Shen Yi went out to greet them and found that the visitors were actually Master Pu from Dahe Town, his youngest son, and Uncle Qi.

Shen Yi quickly invited the person inside.

As soon as Master Pu entered the courtyard, he immediately bowed to Liu Laosan.

Liu Laosan waved his hand, signaling them to sit down.

Master Pu explained cautiously, "I received the news earlier and was planning to come over early this morning to share in the good fortune, but who knew that the old town magistrate of Dahe Town had passed away last night! We were good friends, so I went over to help as soon as I received the news, and then went back to wash up before coming here."

Liu Laosan nodded understandingly, "Respect for the dead is paramount, that's only right! I remember the town official of Dahe Town is only in his sixties this year!"

Master Pu hurriedly replied, "Yes! Your Excellency has a good memory. The old town official was sixty-five years old this year, which is quite old. However, he had been tormented by illness for the past six months. Now that he has passed away, he can be considered relieved."

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all part of life! Have some tea!" Liu Laosan said, glancing at Shen Yi with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The family reunion banquet concluded successfully.

After seeing off her relatives and friends, Su Tai went to find Liu Laosan and asked, "Godfather, I've prepared a courtyard for you over at the mansion. Do you want to move there or continue living here?"

Since Shen Yi's godfather is now her father-in-law, she has to consider the consequences.

Liu Laosan chuckled, "You can arrange it as you see fit. I'm going back to the capital in a couple of days, and I don't know when I'll be back!"

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yi, his eyes becoming more serious and earnest. "I only learned today that the old town magistrate of Dahe Town has passed away. Dahe Town must appoint a new town magistrate. You go!"

"Me?" Shen Yi was greatly surprised and very confused. "Godfather, which eye of yours saw that I have the ability to be a town official?"

Liu Laosan sneered, "You can fight on the battlefield and even dare to venture into the territory of Longxia Kingdom. You're capable of being a high-ranking official, let alone a mere town official! If you ask me, it's a waste of your talents to be a town official. Just make do with it and play around! At least no one in the surrounding villages will bother your family anymore."

"Godfather." Shen Yi was deeply moved, and his eyes reddened.

Liu Laosan frowned in disgust, "Alright, alright, stop with the mushy stuff, it's settled then!"

Shen Yi thought about it carefully and agreed.

Upon receiving the news, the county government approved it without hesitation, and Shen Yi became the new town official of Dahe Town.

After the news spread, a large number of people inevitably came to offer their congratulations.

The Zhu family naturally received the news as well.

The butler reported tremblingly, "Master, I've found out that the influential person backing Shen Yi is a marquis, though I don't know which one. Moreover, the other party has recognized Shen Yi as his godson and made him the town magistrate of Dahe Town. The young mistress has really bitten off more than she can chew this time!"

Zhu Yixuan slowly closed his eyes, gritting his teeth as he asked, "How long will it take for the messenger who went to the Cen family to return?" "Even at the fastest speed, it should take about twenty days," the steward's voice trailed off.

Zhu Yixuan fell silent.

Cen Mingzhu was taken to the dungeon that day and has been missing ever since. It's easy to guess what her situation is now. Even if the magistrate didn't torture her, she couldn't stand the dungeon environment. If she were to wait another twenty days, she would probably go crazy.

There was clearly no room for maneuver with the Shen family, and Zhu Yixuan figured that the only person who could help now was probably the prefect.

"Prepare generous gifts and we'll make a trip to the prefectural city."

No sooner had Zhu Yixuan left than Liu Laosan prepared to return to Beijing.

Shen Yi and Su Tai saw Liu Laosan off out of the village. When they passed Huang Xinghua's house, they saw Doctor Li coming out, so they stopped.

"Dr. Li, are you here to examine Shen Tian?" Su Tai asked.

Dr. Li cupped his hands to Liu Laosan before nodding and saying, "I'm here for a follow-up examination. I thought her condition was fine, but recently we discovered that she still has a blood clot in her brain that won't go away. I'm worried that if this continues, it will affect her life. Her parents are not here, and she only has a blind grandmother with her. I don't dare to say too much to the old lady."

Dr. Li looked grave.

Upon hearing this, Liu Laosan immediately asked, "Can't it be cured?"

"Not at all. It's just that my skills are lacking and my medical expertise is limited. If we can find a doctor with superior medical skills, he should be able to cure me." Doctor Li dared not make any overly confident statements.

Liu Laosan immediately looked at Shen Yi and said, "Go find that child's parents and talk to them. If they agree, let the child come with me to the capital. There are the best doctors in the entire Langya Kingdom there."

Shen Yi immediately turned around and rushed to the field, calling Shen Mu and Huang Xinghua back to work.

The couple turned pale with fright and their eyes turned red after hearing what Dr. Li said.

"My poor child!" Huang Xinghua sobbed.

Su Tai quickly reassured her, "Auntie, Godfather said he can take Tian Tian to the capital for medical treatment. With him there, Tian Tian will definitely be alright."

Huang Xinghua wiped away her tears and was about to go back inside to look for silver.

Su Tai pulled her back, "Auntie, don't make a fuss. If you agree to let Tian Tian go to the capital for treatment, I will pay for her travel expenses and medical bills. Da Gou and the others also do business in the capital. Tian Tian also has her brothers there, so you don't need to worry."

Huang Xinghua was stunned for a moment, then finally realized what was happening and burst into laughter through her tears. "Yes! I was so anxious that I lost my mind. And there's Big Dog too! Big Dog is in the capital! Okay, okay! Then let Tian Tian go to the capital for treatment, let her go."

Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll write a letter and send it over too. There will be plenty of people to take care of Tian Tian there."

Huang Xinghua knew Su Tai's abilities, and was immediately relieved.

When Shen Tian learned that she was going to the capital, she was very reluctant to let her go. "Mother, can I not go?"

She really didn't want to be separated from her family.

Huang Xinghua cried again, her heart aching. "Silly child, I don't want you to go so far away, but your illness can't be delayed. Once your injury is healed, I'll have your older brother send you back. I'll kill a chicken and have your sister Su Tai make you chicken soup."

Su Tai packed some new clothes and a lot of food that Shen Tian liked.

"Your godfather is traveling by horse-drawn carriage, which is fast. It won't take more than a month to get from here to the capital. Once you get there, just focus on getting better, and we'll try our best to recover and come back as soon as possible," Su Tai coaxed gently.

Seeing that everyone was worried about her, Shen Tian nodded obediently and was carried onto the carriage by Huang Xinghua.

As soon as the carriage left, Huang Xinghua couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, hugging Su Tai.
