The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1260 - 1340: Heavy Hearts

There’s only a thousand days of being a thief, but no logic in guarding against a thief every day for a thousand days. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

This matter with Miao Qing, beforehand, was like a guillotine hanging over everyone’s necks. In the end, it turned out to be a false alarm. But ultimately, the hidden threat of Miao Qing was resolved. Once Miao Qing left, Dong Huiying let out a long sigh of relief as if a heavy burden was lifted.

She slowly sat down, then looked at the mess on the table.

Miao Qing...

The corner of her lips twitched; she actually packed up and took away all the leftovers on the table.

This was truly laughable yet frustrating.

However, even though the crisis was temporarily averted, the atmosphere on the mountain was still eerie.

The brothers were all weighed down with concerns.

Little Wu, Yuenin, was a bit naïve and innocent. Although he didn’t understand why the eldest brother’s face was sullen, the second and third brothers were deep in thought, and Xiaoliu Yixuan was also worried. Yet, affected by this atmosphere, he kept his mouth shut, not daring to utter a single word. He could only glance at the expressionless fourth brother with his stern face, secretly wondering, what on earth was going on?

That evening, Dong Huiying made a pot of soup and brought it to Little Wu.

Lately, Little Wu had been a bit sleepy, which was normal, considering he had a little one in his belly.

When Dong Huiying arrived, he looked very drowsy.

"Yingying, what’s really wrong with big brother and the others?" With a face full of innocence, he asked, utterly confused.

Dong Huiying slightly frowned, then comforted him, "Don’t worry about all that nonsense. You, just drink the soup obediently, and after drinking, hurry to sleep. Tomorrow we’ll get ready and then go to Yixuan’s manor to pick up Wu Wang. Once we have Wu Wang, we can go home."

"But..."

"Be good."

Alright, he would be good.

Yue Ning looked deflated, but he was carefree in nature. After all, even if he worried, he wouldn’t make sense of it, so why trouble his mind?

Just let it be.

So he obediently drank the soup, obediently went to bed, and finally grabbed the quilt, obediently closed his eyes to sleep.

After Yue Ning fell asleep, Dong Huiying quietly and softly exited his room.

Under the desolate moonlight, Zhi Chen filled himself a glass of wine, his expression worried and grave.

A gust of wind gently lifted his snow-white long hair. He furrowed his brows tightly, and after a long while, he let out a low, bitter laugh.

Dong Huiying had never seen Zhi Chen like this, nor had the other brothers.

In their memories, the eldest brother, who bore too much, had endured a lot of pain, yet he was always the pillar supporting the brothers.

He seemed to be indestructible.

Except for matters concerning his wife, rarely had anyone seen the eldest brother so despondent.

And this time, his despondency was even heavier and more profound than before.

Perhaps thinking Zhi Chen needed solitude, although deeply worried about their eldest brother inside, Shu Yu and Shujun stood at a distance, watching. Yixuan, along with the second and third brothers, stood together.

Haoming sat on a stone stool, picked up a cloth and wiped the blade, yet intermittently raised his head to glance over at the eldest brother.

Seeing this, Dong Huiying frowned. She took a step toward Zhi Chen.

Shujun saw the wife coming, about to speak, but was pulled back by Shu Yu holding his arm.

Confused, Shujun looked at Shu Yu, only to see Shu Yu calmly shaking his head at him.

Biting his lip, Shujun closed his mouth, then sighed silently.

He turned and headed back to his room.

At such a moment, perhaps what the eldest brother needed most was the care of his wife?

After Shujun went back inside, Shu Yu and Yixuan stood in place for a while before heading back as well.

With the wife there, they felt very relieved.
