Chapter 138 The Penetrating Power of Suona
"Your Excellency the Censor, I am Cheng Xingyu from the Chengji Medical Clinic in Songjiang Prefecture."

The man bowed and saluted, and his gentle and peaceful expression diluted the slight restraint in his behavior.

Xue Xiao's lips curled up into a smile: "I know."

Xue Xiao made a "please sit down" invitation with one hand, lifted his robe and sat down in the main seat. He raised his eyes and fixed on the person on the lower left: "I have heard of the name of Doctor Cheng for a long time. I wonder why you have come all the way here?"

Asking knowingly.

Could it be that those unfamiliar squashes inside just fell from the sky with a "bang" and made a brilliant appearance?
Most likely it was sent by this person.

Despite his illness, he came from thousands of miles away to escort me, which shows his deep love and affection.

Xue Xiao knew it in his heart, but he didn't say it.

When the light is covered by paper, everything is safe and sound. Once someone pierces the paper, the light pours out and everything is exposed.

Cheng Xingyu said in a gentle voice: "I came to Beijing to escort and inventory the medicinal materials. On the way, I met some old acquaintances of Miss He Liu. It is inconvenient for the elderly, the weak, women and children to travel a long distance, so I accompanied them."

Cheng Xingyu did not explain the relationship between the Cheng family and Shanyue: Shanyue has always acted cautiously, and would never expose herself if she was not absolutely sure. Since she dared to drag him back to Xue's house and leave him alone in the outer courtyard, her background must have been clear to this powerful young official - in other words, she and this Xue Yushi had reached some kind of tacit understanding.

There is no need to hide his background, but his hidden feelings for Shan Yue need to be buried deep in his heart.

As a couple who are very close to each other, there was no need for him to emphasize in front of Lord Xue that he had traveled thousands of miles despite his sick body just to escort these women and children.

Cheng Xingyu's eyes were gentle and clear, like the purest deer in the mountains.

Xiaolu was now secretly sizing up this notorious third-rank official.

It was unexpectedly beautiful.

He has sharp eyebrows, deep eyes, a high and straight nose, a rugged and clear face, and a narrow and smooth jaw. Even if one judges with the most discerning eyes, one would still praise him for his extremely handsome appearance that is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In addition, there is the temperament that comes from being in a high position for a long time - besides being handsome, it is also sharp and unyielding.

Cheng Xingyu couldn't describe the emotion in his heart. It felt a little bitter, but also a little relieved; a little sour, but also a strange sense of relief.

He had never expected to establish a worldly bond with Shanyue. Now that he saw that the man Shanyue married was a rare talent with extraordinary appearance, he should feel relieved, at ease, and give up.

Xue Xiao was extremely sensitive to other people's gazes and sensed Cheng Xingyu's inquiring gaze.

Peaceful, curious, and without a trace of malice.

Xue Xiao unconsciously spread his shoulder blades and straightened his back - this made him look taller and more muscular.

Then he realized how ridiculous he was: Shanyue had already married him, no matter what the situation would be in the future, they were now a legitimate couple. Why on earth should he hold his head high and hold his head high in front of Qiao Huatuo?

Like a competition!

absurd!

But, my back is already straightened, it won’t be appropriate to shrink it any further!

The Unfilial Bird raised his head and chest, and spoke with a strange spirit: "Oh, so, I'm sorry to trouble Doctor Cheng about my wife's matter. Luo Feng - give Doctor Cheng thirty taels of silver as travel expenses."

No matter how innocent a fawn is, it is still a male.

Naturally, he could understand the deliberateness in Xue Xiao’s words as he was also a male - Xue Xiao was declaring his closeness to Shan Yue.

Cheng Xingyu lowered his eyes slightly, a sour pain spreading from his already exhausted heart, gradually spreading throughout his body along with the meridians and blood flow. His nasal cavity, back of the head, throat, lips and teeth were all enveloped by this unspeakable, heart-piercing, aching emotion.

He hated this heart.

Hate this broken heart.

He hated this body more than ever before!
If he is healthy, even if you are a high-ranking official of the third rank, why would he not dare to give it a try!
Cheng Xingyu lowered his eyes, retracted all his inquiring gazes, and his tone gradually faded: "I don't deserve the reward from Master Xue. I have failed Miss Liu's trust along the way. Miss Liu has always been worried about a little girl who ran away and ran to-"

"What did you say!!??"

Shan Yue suddenly jumped up, his voice was extremely sharp. Huang Zhi felt like she was going deaf, she had never thought that a person's throat could make such a sound!

More penetrating than suona!

"You said that He Shuiguang took Wei Ruchun's name card and entered the palace as a good family girl sent to the palace by Songjiang Prefecture!!!"

Shan Yue swore that she would tear Liu Huan to pieces! She would tear his mouth to the ears! Her mouth would be torn into pieces more shredded than the hemp paper in the toilet!

Originally, Songjiang Prefecture had no quota for girls from good families!
Liu Huan went to snatch it back personally!

He grabbed four!
As a result, my sister got one!
At first, she listened to Liu Huan's complaints and thought that she should stay out of it and not care about it! Now, the girl she wanted to protect with her life has been filled with this rotten pit!
Among the three squashes, one has to stand out.

Huang Zhi took a deep breath.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

Go ahead and face the boss’s wrath!
"At first, Miss Wei didn't know about this at all. It was the Liu family who sent the selected girls to the Cheng family pharmacy for a checkup to find out if they were healthy."

Huang Zhi tried hard to organize his words, trying to explain the whole story more clearly.

"When Miss Wei came to help with the diagnosis, she got the words out of those girls!"

You have to take responsibility, talk about the matter, and don't skimp on the flattery that is due.

Huang Zhi praised her at the right time: "If nothing else, Miss Wei is so clever. You can tell at a glance that she follows your lead. Not only did she get everything you said, but she also dressed up when she was reporting to Master Liu. She looks even more eye-catching than the other girls sent here."

Huang Zhi added promptly: "Of course, that's up to you."

Zhou Liniang glanced at Huang Zhi in awe: How shameless! How can he say these words so naturally!

"Besides, Miss Wei has also learned some good medical skills!"

"Master Liu saw it at once."

"After that, Miss Wei disappeared. Then, Doctor Wei told us that Miss Wei had entered the capital with the Liu family's carriage and had left us a lot of silver. We decided to take the money and chase after her."

Huang Zhi scratched his head: "Doctor Wei said that Miss Wei didn't tell anyone, she stole the name card and left home in the middle of the night, leaving a letter with a wax seal. We didn't dare to open it, so we brought it to you."

Huang Zhi took out a letter from his arms.

Shan Yue tore it open in a few strokes and read ten lines at a glance.

"Sister Shanyue, I am writing to you! I calculated the date. When you opened the letter, I must have been in Beijing. Maybe I have entered the palace and become a good girl. Don't scold me, or Erniang, Huang Zhi and Mao'er. You know how powerful I am. How can they control me?"

"I am determined to enter the palace." - This sentence is listed separately, and the ink marks are darker for emphasis.

"My mother's death has created a blood feud. I don't want to see you fight alone. You and I are sisters, and we are related by blood. How can I live a peaceful life when my sister is determined to do this?"

"The enemy is extremely powerful, and you and I are like ants and grass. I have no choice but to enter the palace to find a bright future, so that you and I can no longer be bullied by others."

"Sister, I am living well. I will live well."

"Sister, don't worry."

"Sister, don't worry."

"He Shuiguang."

Shanyue's hand trembled and a tear almost fell on the letter paper.

"This idiot." Shanyue turned his face away.

"Two idiots." After hearing Cheng Xingyu's words, Xue Xiao slowly closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

What kind of huge hatred made these two sisters risk their lives to fight for their loved ones?
I will try to update another chapter tomorrow!!!
I am attending the China Literature IP Festival in Singapore these days, so there will be fewer updates, please forgive me!!!
