The head of the Mu family

Chapter 155 Treating Yan Ran

The lady ate a little, then put the bowl down.

Jingtang was indeed hungry, and looked at Huaisheng gratefully. Huaisheng returned his gaze with a helpless, comforting look.

After the noblewoman and Jingtang finished their pastries and cleansed their mouths, Qianyan came in.

"Wife, do you think it's all complete?"

"Hmm, let me see..."

Everything's ready, let's go!

"Brother-in-law~ let me get it~"

A brief comment: This kid is really getting it; the more I look at him, the more pleasing he seems.

Qian Yan gave an almost imperceptible grin upon hearing this, and handed the burden to Jing Tang.

The group boarded the carriage, and along the way, Huai Sheng offered some words of comfort, while Qian Yan inquired about Jing Tang's studies.

The noblewoman looked at Qianyan with new respect:

Previously, I only knew that this child was very loyal and took good care of Huaisheng when they were young in Panlong.

Since that year when Huai Sheng took him to treat the Tibetan slaves, Jing Tang has become a completely different person, and has now passed the imperial examination.

I only remember that Huai Sheng sent this child to the academy back then, but I never heard that he had passed any examinations. But as soon as he opened his mouth, I could tell that his knowledge was far superior to Jing Tang's.

Huai Sheng noticed the noblewoman's confusion and explained:

"My lady, my husband has been delayed in taking the imperial examination because of family matters."

If you trust me, you can have Jingtang visit your husband more often before he takes the imperial examination; it should be beneficial.

The noblewoman knew that she was always humble in her speech, and if it were someone else's child, Huaisheng would never have said anything to cause trouble.

The noblewoman, holding Huai Sheng's hand, smiled gratefully and said:

"And there's Jingyang too~"

"Oh dear~ that's natural~"

The atmosphere in the car finally relaxed.

Upon arriving at the general's residence, the first thing to do is to announce your arrival.

A moment later, the main gate opened, and the carriage drove in. General Yan and his sister greeted them at the second gate.

Yan Ran greeted the noblewoman, while Huai Sheng and the others greeted the two generals.

When the Yan siblings saw Huaisheng, one felt a complex mix of gratitude and other complicated emotions.

As soon as they entered the main courtyard, servants served them tea.

"Someone, bring another earth dragon!"

"I wonder what brings you here so late at night, sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law, I won't beat around the bush."

I invited Huaisheng here today because I wanted him to take a look at your health. But even if he does, there's nothing he can do.

I will no longer bother you. You and your second brother can resolve your own family matters.

"Oh, sister-in-law, why bother?"

Yan Ran reluctantly extended her wrist:

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Huai."

Um... I wonder if it's appropriate for me to address you this way?

"It's alright, General. After all, you and Huaisheng have known each other. Please, General."

He then took out a pulse pad and began to take the pulse.

He listened carefully to the pulse of both hands for a long time, then looked at the complexion and tongue, and then took off the shoes and socks to examine the legs and feet.

After reading it, Huai Sheng was moved to tears:

This is the body of a true female general on the battlefield. Fortunately, she has been training for many years, but she has also suffered injuries due to a lack of proper conditions over a long period.

The physical ailments are not minor.

Seeing her like this, Yan Ran felt a surge of tenderness in her heart and took Huai Sheng's hand to comfort her:

"It's alright..."

After taking his pulse, Huai Sheng was overcome with emotion and choked up as he said:

"The general is in such poor health, all for the sake of us ordinary people..."

Thank goodness...

Fortunately, the general was not an ordinary woman confined to the inner quarters; she had been practicing martial arts all these years without ever slacking off.

Fortunately, although Huaisheng is not very talented, he has achieved some success over the years.

General, rest assured, you and Master Li will have many children and grandchildren!

Yan Ran was so happy she was almost stunned, while the noblewoman immediately exclaimed with delight:

“Since Huaisheng has said so, then there must be no problem.”

Great!Great!

"Sister-in-law! Then you can come back with me, and your parents-in-law's health will be cured without any further treatment."

Yan Ran's eyes welled up with tears; a thousand words could be summed up in one sentence:

"good..."

Yan Ran looked at the grown-up girl in front of her, her heart filled with mixed emotions:

Back then, this girl was only a teenager when she found herself in an embarrassing situation because of her younger brother's foolishness.

Upon learning the truth, she resolutely rejected her own and Rongchuan's feelings.

After she returned to the capital, she not only did not utter a single complaint, but for a time, the story of her being a heroine spread throughout the capital.

Even the Empress Dowager found out and issued a special decree praising him.

As a woman myself, I could see the girl's true feelings for Rongchuan back then.

Upon learning the truth, the light in his eyes instantly turned to ashes, but he resolutely left.

After much deliberation, General Yan suddenly glared fiercely at Yan Sen beside him and blurted out:

"Back then, your brother-in-law didn't hit you hard enough!"

Yan Sen's extremely delicate face displayed a variety of emotions, his expression instantly becoming both complex and unpleasant.

The noblewoman and Jingtang were both somewhat bewildered, while Qianyan's expression remained cold upon hearing this.

Huai Sheng was stunned for a moment, then instantly realized that the straightforward general was still defending him, and replied with a wry smile:

"General! Don't worry about it."

It's only human nature, and besides, forced relationships are never sweet.

"If a hero like the general were a man, I would have married him back then!"

"Yes, yes, yes~ If only Huai Sheng had encountered a hero like the general back then~"

In that case, there really won't be anything for me~

Upon hearing this, Qian Yan immediately replied in a feigned sour tone.

The young couple's words made everyone laugh, except for Yan Sen.

Next, he began writing the prescription. Qian Yan sat down naturally, laid out paper and pen, and Huai Sheng stood beside him, leaning against him.

One spoke softly, while the other wrote with eloquent strokes, producing three or four pages in total.

"This is for decoction, this is for daily foot soak, this is for bathing every seven days, and this is medicinal cuisine."

After taking the decoction for three months, it's time to change the prescription; and after six months, change the medicinal diet again.

When the time comes, have the Crown Prince summon me to take my pulse.

I'll have the young master go again tomorrow. I've prepared some contraceptive pills myself, which Second Master Li can take on a regular basis.

The general needs to recuperate for at least a year and a half before she can have children with him.

"The general is in good health. After he recovers, I will prescribe some medicinal meals regularly. The general and Master Li should have two children within three years."

"Thank you, Huaisheng!"

The lady choked up a little.

The noblewoman and Yan Ran had agreed that once everything was packed, they would go back to their quarters the next day to spend the New Year together. So, she took a few people and went back home.

First, they sent the noblewoman back, and then Jingtang sent Huaisheng back as well.

Jingtang also made an appointment with Qianyan to come and study every day after the fifth day of the lunar new year.

Jingtang kept calling Qianyan "brother-in-law," which made Qianyan dizzy. It's likely that Qianyan would agree to let Jingtang come to study tomorrow.

The next day, Li Rongchuan and the general personally rode to fetch the medicine and personally delivered a gift of thanks and a generous consultation fee.

Li Rongchuan, a man in his thirties, after expressing his gratitude, said carelessly:

"You little rascal, I never knew you were so skilled in medicine!"

Upon hearing this, Huai Sheng rolled his eyes at him inwardly.

"Why do you only grow older but not smarter?"

"Huaisheng, I'm so sorry~"

Mu Huaisheng: Huh? Who blurted out what I was thinking?

Oh, so it's the general~

After the general finished speaking, he gave Li Rongchuan a blatant glare, and Li Rongchuan immediately shut up.
