Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

The Duke is worried that the old lady might have some health problems during the night, so he asks the old doctor to stay in the Duke's Mansion tonight.

After settling the old doctor, she caught a glimpse of the second wife and her husband hurrying over. The Duke's wife snorted coldly and winked at the Duke, "This second wife is a brainless person. You should stop talking."

Seeing that the Duke was about to refute, the Madam immediately said, "The present is different from the past. The Duke has to consider the Duke's Mansion and our Xingjian."

"Who in the entire capital doesn't know Shao Wei's name now? The battle of Lirang not only established his prestige in the army, but also made His Majesty appreciate him very much. Duke, think carefully, what is the meaning of His Majesty's reward for Shao Wei's mansion?"

Although Duke Zhongguo was a little impulsive, he was not a brainless person. After being reminded by his wife, he immediately calmed down. However, he believed that he had not treated Shao Wei harshly over the years, and even agreed to his mother's request to keep Shao Wei by her side.

It is not reasonable for Shao Wei to hold him responsible for this.

Besides, he is now successful and has become a general, but this does not mean that the Duke's Mansion needs to curry favor with him.

"Your Majesty has never treated him harshly, but you know a lot about what happened back then, and I know it too. You and I both saw clearly how Shao Wei's mother died. So, does Your Majesty still think that what happened back then has nothing to do with you?"

The Duke glared, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, so he will naturally go after the one who did it. This kid is so cold-hearted, how can you expect him to help us? If it weren't for my mother in this mansion, I'm afraid he wouldn't even set foot in our Duke's Mansion."

Seeing her husband so stubborn, the Duke's wife sighed and said no more. Well, there was no point in saying anything now.

For the sake of the old lady, Shao Wei probably wouldn't do anything to the Duke's Mansion.

Thinking of this, she glanced at the second wife and her husband who were thrown out of the old lady's yard by Shao Wei's subordinates, and felt a little relieved.

Even if there is trouble, it has to be the people from the second house who take the lead.

……

Treating the old lady did consume most of Gu Qinghe's energy. After returning home that night, Gu Qinghe fell asleep immediately. When he woke up the next day, he began to think about the old lady's condition again.

Now that I have calmed down and studied it carefully, the fear still exists.

Yesterday’s situation was urgent, and if we had delayed it any longer, it might have been too late to save the situation.

Gu Qinghe re-studied the acupuncture points he had inserted the needles yesterday for a long time, then stood up and planned to go to the yard to look through the medicinal herbs that were drying in the sun.

As soon as I stood up, I heard Uncle Fu opening the door.

When he walked out, he met Shao Wei's eyes. He was not too surprised. He made way for him and said, "Come in and talk."

She thought Shao Wei came specially to thank her.

The two entered the study room, and Gu Qinghe put away the books on the table that had not yet been sorted out. "Sit anywhere."

Uncle Fu came in with tea and looked at Shao Wei carefully.

After listening to what Gu Qinghe said, he knew that Shao Wei was already aware of Gu Qinghe's identity. Uncle Fu had some doubts about his girl's trust in Shao Wei.

He felt that his girl was still too naive. Human hearts change rapidly and are the most difficult things to predict in this world. How could she trust others so easily?

So after putting the tea down and leaving, Uncle Fu still quietly stood at the door of the study, intending to listen to what the two were talking about.

Gu Qinghe curled her eyes and asked, "General Shao, are you here to thank me?"

"Not entirely," Shao Wei took a sip of tea, and a bitter feeling immediately spread on the tip of his tongue.

Gu Qinghe doesn't like drinking tea very much, and Uncle Fu has even less of this hobby. These teas were bought purely for entertaining guests.

In addition, there are not many customers here on weekdays, so the tea was bought by Uncle Fu on the street. It is relatively cheap, and the taste is naturally not as good as the ones given by His Majesty at the General's Mansion.

Of course, Shao Wei didn't know much about tea, he just felt that the tea tasted a bit bitter.

Huo Shibei likes to drink tea and has a lot of tea leaves on his hands. He will go to Huo Shibei to get some later.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his idea. He put down the teacup and looked at Gu Qinghe. "Grandma woke up today and she is in much better spirits. Her appetite is also better than usual. But she insists on getting out of bed and walking around. No one can persuade her. You can go and talk to her later. Tell her to rest assured and it won't be too late to get out of bed and walk around after some time."

"You can come down and walk around," Gu Qinghe said, "As long as there are people around to make sure the old lady doesn't get bumped, it won't hurt for her to get out of bed and walk around."

The most taboo for elderly people when they are sick is to lie down. Even if there is nothing wrong, lying down may make them sick.

"Are you going to the Duke's Mansion later?" Gu Qinghe planned to go back with him to see how the old lady was doing.

"Ah."

Gu Qinghe was packing her medicine box, but Shao Wei had no intention of getting up and leaving. He quietly watched Gu Qinghe busying herself. When she finished and looked at him strangely, he spoke calmly, "How are you going to investigate the Chen family's affairs?"

The medicine box he had picked up was put down again, and Gu Qinghe said, "I need to know the truth first."

She knew very well that Chen Qingshan would never betray Rui Chao or General Huo, but it was useless for her to believe it. She had to see the truth and know what happened in the battle in front of Bazipo.

"How do you know?"

Speaking of this, Gu Qinghe smiled, "Of course I have my own way."

The Lirang soldiers who were captured were tried in the Dali Temple. The file claiming that Chen Qingshan had surrendered to the enemy and committed treason was also in the Dali Temple. Gu Qinghe wanted to take a look at the file, but this was a bit difficult for her as a powerless person.

But her medical skills are her bargaining chip.

Xu Pingchuan, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, had a young daughter who was frail and sickly. Last year, she went to Liangtuo to seek medical treatment. After her mother's treatment, Xu Pingchuan's daughter's symptoms improved a lot, and the couple took their daughter back to Beijing.

The reason why my mother came to Beijing this year was because she received a letter from the Xu family, saying that Xu Pingchuan's daughter was ill again and her condition was serious. She could not travel long distances, and hoped that Doctor Lu could come to Beijing to save his daughter.

However, after this trip, there was no news of Doctor Lu anymore.

After Gu Qinghe came here, he inquired about Xu Pingchuan's news. His daughter's illness seemed not to have been completely cured, and the couple were still asking around for news about Doctor Lu.

Gu Qinghe had no idea what role this couple played in the Chen family's disaster, and she had no idea whether her mother's disappearance had anything to do with Xu Pingchuan.

But she was very clear that Xu Pingchuan was someone she must get close to.

But this matter could not be rushed, she could only wait for Xu Pingchuan to come to find her. Originally, it might take some time, but after helping the old lady with her medical consultation yesterday, she believed that the Xu family would find her soon.
