The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1261 - 1341: It’s Better to Drink Less

She stood behind Zhi Chen, standing still.

Dong Huiying lifted her gaze, looking at this silent moonlit night.

No matter what happens in the world, or how much sorrow and joy there is, the sky is always that sky, and the moonlight is always that moonlight.

These scenes might change with the weather, but they are eternally unchanging.

For instance, regardless of whether there are clouds or whether it can be seen, the moon always hangs there, eternally unchanged.

Zhi Chen seemed unaware of his wife’s arrival. He drank cup after cup, immersed in those memories. He was too deeply entrenched, his thoughts unable to break free.

Dong Huiying stood behind, speculating that Zhi Chen’s foul mood must be related to something he heard from Miao Qing during the day.

Specifically, it must be related to Mother Liang and Liang Yuru.

Liang Yuru was with Dajin, and according to Miao Qing’s words, that person was from the Yuwen family of Dajin, and it was possible that Liang Yuru wasn’t that person’s real name.

Although that person had disappeared, they always lived on in the brothers’ memories, yet those memories were not pleasant.

The Liang Family Brothers, six men, six different personalities, thus six different opinions, six different perspectives. However, regarding Mother Liang, none of the six, without exception, seemed to have a deep affection for her.

Indeed, the brothers rarely mentioned that woman.

As a child, Shu Yu once nearly got poisoned by that woman due to poor health.

Haoming was despised for not being delicate and handsome enough, being too stern and robust. Because of that person, he was left with some childhood trauma and even once believed that he was ugly. One reason was his appearance didn’t fit the aesthetics of Dayuan, and another was their mother’s truly poor attitude towards him.

As for Little Wu, Yue Ning, as a child, Yue Ning was abandoned by that woman, went hungry for several days in the town, and in desperation, even ate dirt, which caused him to fall gravely ill...

But aside from these three, what was Zhi Chen’s thoughts?

"Feeling any better?"

Dong Huiying finally spoke, and as she did, she gently extended a hand, wrapping it around his waist from behind, placing her face against his back.

Zhi Chen’s body tensed momentarily; then he looked down at her hands encircling his waist, raising his hand to rest it upon her soft, pale hand.

"I’m sorry..." Too absorbed in those thoughts, he didn’t notice her presence; this was his oversight.

She smiled faintly, "You see, you’re the eldest brother, how can you follow your younger brother’s example? Like Haoming, keeping everything bottled up inside is not very good."

She moved in front of him, looked at the wine jug in his hand, and took it away. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Alcohol, in small amounts, can cheer you up; in large amounts, it’s harmful. It’s better to drink less."

She could smell the alcohol on him; he seldom indulged so much.

After all, this man has always tended to be calm, rational, and self-controlled.

But today, he seemed a bit drunk.

Perhaps because of too much pain, his cheek twitched slightly, then, he suddenly embraced her.

With his face buried in her shoulder, his voice was raspy.

"Hui..."

She compassionately and gently stroked down his head with her small hands, stroking once and again, as if soothing this fragile and emotionally exhausted man.

"If you’re willing, you can talk to me, you know? You don’t have to bear everything alone. When you do this, it makes me really worried."

His throat choked, "That woman..."

Suddenly, he gave a bitter smile.
