Chapter 1805 The Final Test
Chapter 1805 The Final Test
The next morning, Sun Chuchu came to Xu Congshan's home and took Wen Xiaolian to the pharmacy.
Xu Congshan was very grateful, and Wen Xiaolian also thanked him repeatedly.
"You're welcome. Come with me."
Sun Chuchu took the bundle enthusiastically and even asked someone to carry a sedan chair.
"The journey is not far, the sedan chair will be more secure."
Xu Congshan bowed and said, "Doctor Sun, I am grateful for your kindness. If you need me in the future, just let me know."
Sun Chuchu was a little embarrassed: "You've said it several times, there's no need to be so polite, let's go."
Wen Xiaolian got on the sedan chair, while Sun Chuchu and Xu Congshan walked on one side of the sedan chair.
"Military Doctor Cao is away these days, so we still have an apprentice, but he doesn't talk much and usually stays in his room, rarely coming out."
"However, the yard is really not big. I am sorry to have wronged Madam Xu."
"That's not right, Doctor Sun. Your willingness to help is already a great favor."
Sun Chuchu said casually, "By the way, your accent doesn't sound like you're from the northwest. Where is your hometown? It's just you and your wife. Don't you have other people to help you at home?"
Xu Congshan paused for a moment, then said as if nothing had happened: "We fled here because of a disaster in our hometown. I don't have any other skills. I happened to be recruiting soldiers in the military camp, so I joined the army."
"My family members...are all gone."
Sun Chuchu looked sad: "I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter."
As they were talking, they arrived at the place and Xu Congshan came in with Wen Xiaolian. He quickly glanced around. In front was the storefront and in the back was a small courtyard. Sun Chuchu said it was not particularly big, but it was more spacious than where Xu Congshan lived.
The air was filled with the aroma of medicine, and everything was clean and tidy.
Xu Congshan and Wen Xiaolian looked at each other, and both were quite satisfied.
Sun Chuchu pushed open the door of the east wing and said, "Madam, please come in. This is your residence."
Wen Xiaolian walked into the room and saw that although the layout was simple, it had everything needed for daily use. There was also a small vase on the table with flowers in it. It was obvious that it was a special arrangement.
Wen Xiaolian said gratefully: "Thank you, Doctor Sun, for your concern."
Sun Chuchu left the room and let the couple talk for a while.
He was fiddling with medicinal herbs in the yard and glanced at the west wing. Miaomiao was still busy in the house. It was said that there would be results in the next few days.
This time I've been busy for a long time, it seems that it is really difficult to match.
After a while, Xu Congshan came out.
"Doctor Sun, I'm sorry to bother you. I have to go back to the barracks. I'll come back when I have my day off. If nothing else, take A-Lian away."
"Don't worry, I have room here anyway."
Xu Congshan took out some money and said, "Doctor Sun, I know this money is not much, but it is my token of my appreciation. Please accept it. Otherwise, I will be uneasy."
Sun Chuchu did not refuse and took it generously: "Okay, you go and do your work first. Madam Xu is here, so you can rest assured."
Xu Congshan said goodbye and left, and Sun Chuchu went to see Yan Ruyu after finishing his work.
"Princess, Xu Congshan's wife has moved in."
Yan Ruyu thought for a while and didn't answer, and Sun Chuchu seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Sun Chuchu whispered, "I think it's not easy for Madam Xu to be pregnant. When I came out, she even helped me clean up the yard and so on."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes to look at him: "What do you want to say?"
"I want to ask, can you please not scare her? Although her pregnancy is fine, but... who can say for sure whether a woman is pregnant?"
"If there is any danger, it will be a death and two lives."
Huo Changhe couldn't stand listening any longer: "Sun Chuchu, do you think the princess is someone who takes human life lightly and doesn't care about other people's lives?"
Sun Chuchu was shocked: "That's not it."
"That's not all. What are you talking about?"
"When did the princess say she wanted to scare Madam Xu?"
Sun Chuchu: “…”
Yan Ruyu: "I mean to test Xu Congshan."
Sun Chuchu bowed quickly: "I was mistaken, Princess, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
Huo Changhe snorted: "Is it all over if I make one mistake?"
Sun Chuchu knew he was in the wrong: "Then, what do you say, sir?"
"Prepare a month's worth of medicinal food for the princess."
Sun Chuchu felt relieved: "Yes, no problem, leave it to me."
Yan Ruyu was about to speak when Huo Changhe said, "It's delicious. You're welcome. You deserve it. It's just right for your health."
Yan Ruyu suppressed her laughter and nodded in agreement.
……
Xu Congshan returned to the military camp and asked his superiors to cancel his leave. He could rest assured that Wen Xiaolian had been properly accommodated.
He was still frightened when he thought about how Wen Xiaolian almost got killed.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon and we lined up to get our meals.
When I took back the bowl of rice, I felt something stuffed in my palm.
He paused and looked at the chef.
The chef didn't look at him, as if nothing had happened: "Next one, hurry up."
Xu Congshan took the bowl to the side, opened the note while eating, and then nonchalantly crumpled the note into a ball and stuffed it into his tightly tied cuffs.
After dinner, Xu Congshan left the tent alone.
He didn't have many friends to begin with. He usually only had ordinary friends, acquaintances who were just passing chats, and he often kept to himself.
When we arrived at the agreed location, it was close to the edge of the city, so not many people came. Most people had just eaten, so they were resting.
Xu Congshan pressed on the hilt of the knife: "I'm here, come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man appeared, wearing black clothes and black boots, with his face covered by a black cloth.
"Who are you and what do you want from me?" Xu Congshan asked.
"What do you want from you? What did you do? You haven't forgotten it, have you?"
Xu Congshan was silent for a moment: "I don't understand what you mean."
"Xu Congshan, some things have happened and they are gone. You can't pretend and start over in another place."
"You forgot, but others didn't."
Xu Congshan pursed his lips and said nothing, clenching his teeth.
"If you really have forgotten," the man in black chuckled, "I'll go talk to your wife and see what she says."
Xu Congshan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "If you have something to say, come to me. It has nothing to do with her."
"You said it has nothing to do with it?"
Xu Congshan stepped forward and said, "You were sent by the Su family, right? How much did they give you? I'll give you double."
The man in black raised a finger: "One thousand taels."
"Can you afford it?"
Xu Congshan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise. I'll give it to you tonight at the foot of the hill three miles outside the camp."
The man in black was straightforward: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
……
Yan Ruyu was holding a sachet, and Sun Chuchu looked guilty.
"I can't do this job. It almost scared me to death."
"They were helping me with my work, but I stole their sachets."
Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Think about it another way. You are also trying to help her."
"Can the problem be solved?" Sun Chuchu was a little worried.
Yan Ruyu held the sachet in her hand and said, "That depends on whether everything goes well tonight."
As it got dark, Yan Ruyu changed her clothes and Huo Changhe helped her tie her belt.
"I go with you."
