The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1282 - 1362: Letting Go

Dong Huiying felt a pang in her heart for a moment; Yixuan has always been like this. The hardships he endured, he always keeps to himself and never confides in others.

During those days of separation, whatever he encountered or went through, he always spoke lightly of them and rarely divulged to her. She somewhat understood why Old Lady Qin had such an attitude towards her.

It was because Old Lady Qin truly cherished Yixuan as if he were her own descendant, and also because Yixuan was alone outside at the time, perhaps Old Lady Qin had some misunderstandings which led to her prejudice against Huiying.

And it’s not just Huiying, Old Lady Qin is not too warm towards Zhi Chen and others either.

She chuckled bitterly, "Tell me more, I’m very curious about Yixuan’s experiences over those few years."

"Actually, we don’t know much either. When Young Master Xuan came to Dongdi, his stomach was already big. Later, he was brought back to the Qin family by Old Lady, but not long after, Young Master Xuan moved to this manor, and Old Lady followed him here. Yet, during the year, Old Lady still had to return to the Qin family to stay for a few months..."

From the servant’s tone, one could tell that this person’s heart was inclined towards Old Lady Qin. Dong Huiying guessed that this servant was probably brought over from the Qin family by Old Lady Qin.

The servant claimed to know "not much," but even knowing little, it was much more than Dong Huiying knew.

To the extent that when several men from the Liang family came here, they found the two chatting happily.

The servant’s face immediately turned awkward upon seeing several people arrive and quickly withdrew with a hasty word.

Zhi Chen leaned down to kiss his wife’s hairline, "What were you talking about just now?" Noticing she seemed quite happy.

Dong Huiying drank a sip of the somewhat cooled sweet concoction, "Heard some things about Yixuan’s time in Dongdi." The longer they stayed together, the more comforted she felt.

Previously, she couldn’t understand Yixuan’s departure, and perhaps had grievances in her heart, but eventually, she let go. She was busy searching for people far and wide, which was unpleasant, but Yixuan also suffered quite a bit.

She sighed again, wondering how life could have turned out this way? Could it be her destiny to never be "stable"? Just when things were looking up, she again was uncertain how long she could continue living.

She decided not to think further; such thoughts were too dispiriting. She looked at Shu Yu, seeing her holding a zither, "Play a tune?"

"What do you want to hear?" "Hmm, The Song of the Spring, or perhaps Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix?"

So Shu Yu started to play the zither, not only performing the two tunes Huiying requested but also a few guitar pieces. Yixuan also came over, bringing a chessboard, and sat down to play a game with his wife.

Elder Brother made suggestions from the side. Shujun supported Yixuan’s side, Yue Ning peeking around, occasionally chiming in with comments. As for Haoming, perhaps influenced by the zither’s enchanting melodies, suddenly picked up a blade and started performing sword movements in a nearby open space.

Was this considered sword dancing?

Dong Huiying laughed, watching all this. Her husbands were within sight and hearing Shu Yu’s music, admiring Haoming’s swordplay. Later, Shu Yu even had someone bring a pipa, which complemented Shu Yu’s zither, completing the harmony between the instruments. They even gently began singing, performing a few rarely sung tunes.

It was truly peaceful. Curious about the happenings here, Old Lady Qin stealthily approached this place. Upon seeing the harmonious scene of one wife with six husbands, she was momentarily stunned.

She then remarked wistfully, "Young people nowadays..."
