The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1807: Chapter 1807: Meng Yunzheng Returns

Doctor Guo nodded, ”Yes, I’ve heard that Elder Zhao has his own unique methods for diagnosing, and sometimes his prescriptions are quite aggressive.”

In that case, Granny Fang should refrain from consulting other doctors for now.

”That’s what I think too, so before we head back to Dongan Province, I’ll have to trouble you, Doctor Guo, to take care of Aunt.”

”Certainly, certainly.” Doctor Guo was delighted and eager to learn more about Elder Zhao. As a doctor, he had great respect and admiration for a practitioner renowned in the medical field and even wished to meet him.

Shu Yu noticed this and smiled, ”Doctor Guo, if you ever have the chance, you’re always welcome to visit Dongan Province. At that time, even if you can’t meet Elder Zhao, I can still introduce you to his disciples.”

Elder Zhao’s disciples were her brother-in-law and her sister, so she could somewhat arrange that.

With Shu Yu’s offer, Doctor Guo was more than satisfied and immediately nodded, ”Thank you, Monarch Lu Xiang.”

Shu Yu conversed with Doctor Guo for a while longer, mainly inquiring about Granny Fang’s health condition.

Besides having a cold constitution, Granny Fang also suffered from overwork in her early years; she had no major ailments but minor ones would occur frequently.

Shu Yu understood and thanked Doctor Guo.

The lively atmosphere of the Fang Family’s reunion lasted until the evening when Shu Yu left.

Granny Fang packed some of the fish, meat, rice, and wheat brought by the guests into baskets as gifts for the Guan Family couple.

The Guan Family couple didn’t expect the return gifts to be more valuable than what they had brought.

They had only given some eggs and brown sugar; the eggs were home-laid, and while brown sugar was considered valuable, they didn’t have much of it, but it was the best they could offer.

Now with a basket full of fish, meat, rice, and wheat, the Guan couple couldn’t help but look at each other. They knew that most of this basket of gifts was taken from those provided by Shu Yu, and not everyone in the village received such expensive items.

As for Shu Yu, whatever gifts were returned weren’t too valuable, as she lacked nothing. In the depth of winter, there were no fresh fruits or vegetables,

Granny Fang thought about it, and seeing that Shu Yu liked her homemade pickles, she gifted her two jars.

Once everything was loaded onto the carriage, Granny Fang finally let them leave...

After that day, Shu Yu became busy once again, and Yuan Gui returned to work at the county office the next day.

The flow of people moving in and out of the city increased, gradually restoring the city to its former bustle.

Especially with the upcoming New Year, many people were going in and out of the city to prepare for the festivities, and the ox and mule carriages resumed their business.

Granny Fang would occasionally take a mule carriage into the city to visit Shu Yu and Yuan Gui, sometimes staying for a day or two, and sometimes returning on the same day.

Days passed by swiftly, yet Meng Yunzheng had not returned.

The matters in the prefecture were more complicated than she had imagined. Just as Shu Yu was contemplating whether to visit the prefecture, on the fifth day of December, Meng Yunzheng finally returned once.

He had lost a noticeable amount of weight, and his once handsome appearance had become somewhat haggard. His clothes were tattered, not that he cared, and his hands were covered with several chilblains.

Seeing this, Shu Yu frowned deeply and applied medicine for him with a pained heart as she asked, ”Do you have to return to the prefecture? Is it really that troublesome?”

Meng Yunzheng sighed, his face showing exhaustion, ”Things are not finished over there yet. This time I took the opportunity to come see you all. I also have some news to share about the events happening in the capital.”
