The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1274 - 1354: Ran Away From Home Because of Cravings

He took care of the old woman for many days in a row. The old lady also had a peculiar temperament, with an especially sharp tongue, as if she bore a grudge against men. But Yixuan had a good temper and didn’t like to fuss over things. Besides, an old lady with a sharp tongue, how much harm could she really do?

As a child, he had suffered lots of disdainful looks. Later, when Dong Dabao married into the family, he endured humiliation and pain for a long time. Of course, the main reason might have been that he was really too idle at the time.

His life seemed to always revolve around family and his elder brothers. Suddenly leaving home, even though it was his own decision, he was somewhat unaccustomed, so he found things to do to keep himself from overthinking.

Coincidentally, in such circumstances, the old lady who was initially extremely sharp-tongued gradually revealed a grandmotherly, kind gaze. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Of course, this was also because Yixuan’s cooking skills were quite good. Having cooked for years and later being influenced by his wife, though not as skillful as his wife, he was good enough to outshine those chefs in the restaurants outside. And the old woman had a sweet tooth. Slowly, they got along better and better.

When the old woman recovered from her illness, she got in touch with her family, and a mighty and imposing group came to Luolan City to pick her up.

It was only then that Yixuan learned that the old woman, like himself, had secretly run away from home.

But the old lady’s reason for running away was because she was too greedy.

The manor’s doctor cooked medicinal meals for her every day, but she complained that those meals were tasteless. The master didn’t act like a master, and the servants didn’t act like servants. She, being the master, was being controlled by the servants, not allowed to eat this or that, which made her very unhappy. So she sneaked out, originally planning to go to a restaurant in Luolan City to eat braised pork knuckle, but her luck wasn’t good.

Because the old woman looked either rich or noble, yet was alone, some idle gamblers robbed her of her silver, which caused her to have a fit of rage, leading to her illness and collapse on the street.

Then, the old woman happily told Yixuan, "Come, come, follow this old woman home, I’ll ensure you’ll enjoy the best of food and drink!"

Yixuan: "..."

He originally wanted to refuse, but the old lady was really domineering, and seeing his reluctance, she actually had him tied up with a rope.

After that, Yixuan was forcefully stuffed into a carriage by the domineering old lady.

It was only later that he learned the old lady’s surname was Qin, and she was the master of the most prominent Qin family in Dongdi.

Elder Qin had no children, nor a husband. It was said that she was a great beauty in her youth and had been engaged to another prominent family in Dongdi, but later, her fiancés unexpectedly fancied other women.

In anger, Elder Qin ruined those men’s families, and from then on, she rushed down the path of hating men, convinced that all men were unreliable scoundrels.

Until she grew older and met Yixuan. She appreciated Yixuan, thinking he had a great character. Ultimately, Elder Qin announced to the outside world that Qin Xuan, that was her son, the progeny she left behind when she was outside all those years ago.

After she passed away, the Qin family estate would also be inherited by Yixuan.

This encounter changed Yixuan’s life. The motherly love he craved but never received since his youth was unexpectedly returned to him in another form.

Although, calculated by Elder Qin’s age, she was more than qualified to be his grandmother, rather than mother.

The convoy arrived at Luolan City, and Chuixue Manor was right next to Luolan City. They decided to stay at an inn for the night and continue the journey the next day.
