Yan Ruyu frowned slightly.

It seems that the governor's wife is not as she appears, but has been resenting the governor for a long time in her heart.

Just as he was about to ask more about whether she took Aunt Chen's child out, who she gave it to, and how she did it, there were rapid footsteps outside.

Yan Ruyu immediately turned around, went to the incense table, and snuffed out the vanilla.

Huo Changhe put his hand on the soft sword on his waist and stood beside Yan Ruyu.

The breeze blew, and the fragrant mist quickly dispersed. At the same time, people outside also hurried into the yard.

Yan Ruyu heard the news and went out. The person who came was a young man, in his 20s, wearing a moon-white gown and a blue cloak. When he walked quickly, the corners of his robe and cloak were like waves, rolling up in layers.

Not to mention his appearance, just the aura of nobility on his body is already outstanding.

He walked quickly to the governor's wife and asked softly: "Mother, what are you doing? Where is father?"

The governor's wife had not yet fully recovered, and was filled with grief and anger. When she saw him, she burst into tears: "Kang'er, you are back! My Kang'er..."

Seeing her like this, Chengkang thought that his father was seriously ill, so he hurriedly said: "Mom, please don't cry yet. How is father? Where is he?"

Butler Liu, who was far away on the steps, was the first to come to his senses. When he saw Chengkang coming back, he hurried over to say hello.

"Master, you are back!"

Chengkang was startled when he saw his face: "You... Butler Liu? What's wrong with your face?"

Butler Liu said: "Oh, the villain is not injured, it was just wiped. Sir, why are you back now? Isn't it the day to visit my family in a few days?"

Chengkang is currently studying in an academy outside the city. The academy is very strict and can only come back twice a month.

"I heard that my father was ill, so I asked for leave. Where is my father?"

"In...in the house," Butler Liu hesitated a little, but had to say it.

Butler Liu glanced at the governor's wife from the corner of his eyes and wondered if it was this woman who informed the eldest son.

Sir, this disease is not a disgraceful thing. What if it breaks out and you lose your mind and treat the eldest son... What's the point?

Butler Liu didn't even dare to think about it.

Chengkang frowned and looked at Xiang An: "What are you doing?"

"This is for adults to treat illnesses..."

Before Butler Liu finished speaking, Chengkang shouted: "Nonsense! Get rid of it quickly!"

He stepped into the house, and Butler Liu looked at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu was watching with cold eyes when she saw Butler Liu looking over and said calmly: "My lord, you wiped the blood. How is the situation?"

"It's indeed getting better, doctor. I was the one who was negligent before. Don't be offended. In this case, just tell me what you need and I will definitely do it!"

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe understood. The butler's attitude changed so quickly. The governor must have said something to him.

"I'm tired and want to rest. In addition, prepare some good medicinal materials and spices. I will prepare the medicine myself tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Butler Liu respectfully sent them back to the courtyard.

Before leaving, Yan Ruyu looked back at Aunt Chen and the governor's wife.

It is said that three women make a play, and the play in the Governor's Mansion is really lively.

Return to the courtyard and send Butler Liu away.

Huo Changhe asked: "What did you see?"

Yan Ruyu sipped her tea: "Madam and the governor are indeed not on good terms. Madam's only hope is the eldest son. She also hates Aunt Chen and her son."

Huo Changhe touched his forehead with his hand: "I have some impression of Mr. Cheng. He once went to the capital with Mr. Academy and debated etiquette with the capital's talents. I heard what Chang Xu said."

"Why did he come back?" Yan Ruyu said, "The housekeeper looked a little surprised just now, and the governor's wife didn't seem to know."

Huo Changhe was startled: "Chengkang, as soon as he came back, he asked how the governor was doing. He seemed to know that the governor was ill."

"So, how did he know?"

The two were talking in a low voice, and someone spoke in the yard.

"Is your distinguished guest here?"

Really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

It was Chengkang who came.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe exchanged glances, stood up and went outside.

Chengkang was still dressed as before, but he had taken off his cloak. Butler Liu beside him was holding a lantern, looking a little embarrassed.

Yan Ruyu stood on the steps, condescendingly asking: "Is something wrong?"

Chengkang looked at her. He didn't take a close look just now, but now he saw that this person was tall and straight, calm and calm, with cold eyes. She really had some magnanimity.

However, Chengkang still held up his hands and said: "Thank you both for your diagnosis and treatment for my father. However, from the sages' books that I am reading, you should know that there are rules and regulations for everything in this world. To treat a disease, you need to seek medical advice, not to burn incense and pray."

"It's getting late, so I won't leave any of you in the Cheng family. Please leave!"

He tilted his head, and Butler Liu presented him with a piece of silver.

"This ingot of silver will be used as medical treatment fee for both of you."

Huo Changhe frowned: "Is the eldest son trying to drive us away?"

Chengkang said it politely, but the meaning was still "rush".

Huo Changhe was a little annoyed. It was clear that his family was a mess, but they made it sound like he was as noble as a white lotus.

Just as he was about to retort, Yan Ruyu lightly pressed his arm and said with a smile: "My lord, with all due respect, not all the sage books you read may have actually entered your stomach."

Chengkang was stunned for a moment, with a slightly sullen look on his face: "What do you mean by this?"

"You said you were seeking medical treatment, but do you know that your family let me enter the house because they took a fancy to my medical banner?

I prescribe medicine and instruct the decoction, so that your father can get better now. As for burning incense and praying, I dare to ask the eldest son, what does your mother do all day long? "

"What? Your mother burns incense to worship the Buddha, and I burn incense in a crooked way? What's more, my crooked way is exactly facing your father's evil disease.

If you disdain what I do, why not think about how your father got this disease. "

Chengkang's face turned red: "You..."

"So I say, don't think you are superior to others just because you have read a few books or met a few sages. Otherwise, these sages' books will only end up in the dog's belly."

Yan Ruyu glanced at the ingot of silver: "In addition, keep this small amount of medical money to buy some more books for the eldest son!"

"You! This is simply unreasonable!"

"That's right, how could it be so?" Huo Changhe sneered, "We worked tirelessly to treat your father's illness, but your own people used the wrong medicine and set up incense cases to save it. The servants are ignorant. Now you, the eldest son, have come to question you. Dare you ask? , who do we provoke whom?

Are we the ones who want to come to your home for treatment? It was you who carried us here in a sedan chair! "

Chengkang: "..."

Butler Liu advised in a low voice: "My lord, it's getting late today and you must be tired. Why don't you go and rest first? Let's talk tomorrow?"

Chengkang snorted coldly, turned and left.

Huo Changhe breathed out a heavy breath: "I can get used to him!"

Yan Ruyu clapped her hands lightly: "Your Majesty is very eloquent."

Huo Changhe raised his eyebrows: "That's right! Mother also said that talking like this is very pleasant."

Before the two of them entered the house, Butler Liu came back again.
