At the gate of the Shen family's house, Aunt Wang, who was selling tofu, was saying something that was a pity.

Su Ziyu walked out of the house, holding a wooden basin with clothes to be washed in it.

When I heard Wang Ma, the tofu seller, talking to someone else, I suddenly had an idea and walked over.

"What a pity! He became a famous young general at such a young age, but now he has a lame leg. He will be a useless person for the rest of his life."

"Yes, I passed by the Marquis' Mansion the other day and saw many doctors coming in, but no one said they could cure the prince's leg."

"It's such a pity. The mistress of the Marquis' Mansion is also pitiful. She will be childless for the rest of her life."

Su Ziyu was standing by and was secretly happy when he heard this. Not only did Su Jinhua not have any children, but he also lived an extremely miserable life for the rest of his life.

"Poor sister." She suddenly spoke, her tone full of sympathy.

"Hey, is the Shen family's daughter-in-law out washing clothes?"

"Yes, Aunt Wang, didn't you go to sell tofu today?"

"No, I got up late today and forgot to grind the beans. I can't catch up with the market anyway, so I'd better stay at home and do some laundry to relax."

"You just said that my sister is pitiful? What is this?"

Wang Ma and the other women had gossipy gleams in their eyes and stared at Su Ziyu.

"Alas, I just feel sorry for my sister. She thought she would have no worries about food and clothing after marrying the prince of the Marquisate, but who would have thought that the prince would run off to join the army on their wedding night."

"Who says it's not true? If a bride is abandoned by her husband on her wedding night, it would be a joke if it gets out. It's really not right. Fortunately, the Marquis' Mansion has kept it a secret."

"It is said that the prince of the Marquis of Yongyi is a playboy by nature, so it is not surprising that he would do this."

"There are other concubines in the Marquis's mansion, all of whom were married when the principal wife was married."

Su Ziyu's words were like a huge stone thrown into the river, causing quite a few ripples.

"what?"

"Shen's wife, how do you know so much?"

"In fact, this rumor has been circulating in the restaurant for a long time, so it's not new."

As soon as they heard the word restaurant, they understood that even the simplest dish in the restaurant would cost half a tael of silver, so they could not afford to go there.

Those were places where rich people went. Common people like them felt that the storytellers there had to pay to listen to even a word.

But the daughter-in-law of the Shen family is different. I heard that she was a lady from an official family before she got married, so it is not surprising that she can afford to go to a restaurant.

"You know so much, what else did they spread?"

"Alas, it's nothing more than the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess having a disagreement. Actually, if you think about it, the Crown Prince has suffered such a great setback at such a young age, so it's inevitable that he will be gloomy."

After he said this, everyone couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.

Various scenes flashed through my mind: the atmosphere in the Marquis's Mansion was depressing, and the couple were in various confrontations and negotiations. When I thought of this, there was nothing to envy anymore.

Several people started talking, and Su Ziyu smiled when he saw how heated their discussion was.

I think the news of Su Jinhua and Gu Yanan's relationship discord will spread everywhere tomorrow.

Su Zi walked away again holding the wooden basin with brisk steps. In three days, Shen Rujun's career would be settled, and by then the Shen family would become the Shen Mansion.

In the end, he will reach a higher level step by step, which is something Su Jinhua cannot compare to.

……

"Princess, the rumors are spreading all over the city. Famous doctors in the capital are coming in and out of the mansion. More and more people are watching, and there are more and more rumors. They all say that the prince's leg cannot be cured."

Banxia made tea for Su Jinhua, with a hint of worry in her tone.

Su Jinhua lowered his eyes and looked quietly at the calmness on the surface of the teacup.

"The more this happens, the safer the Marquis' Mansion will be."

Banxia was confused and didn't understand what this meant.

The next second, Su Jinhua's words made her feel cold on her back, and she dared not ask any more questions.

"Don't speculate on the Holy Will."

"Yes."

"What are you talking about?"

Gu Yanan came out of the house and saw Su Jinhua's expression was a little cold. He thought something made her unhappy.

"Nothing, the weather is a bit cold, you should wear more clothes, Banxia, ​​go get the fox fur."

"Yes."

After a while, Su Jinhua covered Gu Yanan's legs with the fox fur. The warm fur wrapped around his legs. Although he couldn't feel the warmth, the thick feeling was reassuring.

"I'm going to the outskirts of the city with Doctor Wei to collect herbs today. Do you want to go?"

Gu Yanan didn't expect her to invite him. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

Zhuying glanced at Gu Yanan, thought about it, and still didn't say anything.

Is it really convenient to let a lame person go up the mountain? Will he be a hindrance?

As thoughts were swirling, the group was ready to set off.

Just as I prepared the carriage and was about to go out, a voice came from afar.

"Sister! Husband~"

Gao Jinyu was wearing a plain white dress and ran over with her skirt lifted up.

"Greetings to my sister and husband, where are you going?"

"We are going to the mountains to collect herbs."

Gao Jinyu exclaimed: "But my husband's legs..."

Gu Yan'an's expression darkened for a moment. Gao Jinyu realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I was just too worried about my husband. Please forgive me."

"It's okay. What's the matter with Miss Gao?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to go out and relax after staying in the mansion for many days. My sister is going up the mountain today, can you take me with you?"

He was talking to Su Jinhua, but his eyes were looking at Gu Yanan.

"Sister, if you want to come, then come. But there are many snakes and insects in the mountains."

"It's okay. I'm not afraid."

Su Jinhua sneered and nodded, and the group got on the carriage. However, Gao Jinyu joined them temporarily, and there were no seats left in the carriage.

She could only get another carriage to follow.

"I heard that you opened a medicine store?" Gu Yan'an suddenly asked.

"Well, I've planted some cold-resistant herbs. The harvest was good. The latest batch has been sold to a nearby medical clinic. I plan to plant a new batch of herbs soon."

Gu Yanan pondered for a while and said, "There is a small town near the outskirts of Beijing. A small output can naturally stabilize the sales. But if the medicine shop grows it in full in the future, they won't be able to eat it all."

"That's right, so today I want to take Doctor Wei to the medicine store."

Su Jinhua smiled, and a hint of cunning flashed in her bright almond eyes.

Gu Yanan understood and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

As the carriage moved along, Su Jinhua had already made an appointment with Doctor Wei at a pharmacy.

Gao Jinyu was sitting in the carriage behind him. He thought the journey would not be too far, but three incense sticks of time had passed and they had not arrived yet.

The road became increasingly bumpy, and the entire carriage became increasingly unstable.

"What's going on? Where are we going?"

"Aunt, we are going to the mountain. The journey is indeed long and a bit bumpy. Please sit down, Aunt." The maid reminded her considerately.

"You're really crazy. Why would you run so far for no reason? Wouldn't the princess mind? I'll make a complaint when I get back!"

Gao Jinyu looked unhappy, but she was already halfway there and couldn't turn back.

This time she must get into Gu Yanan's sight.
