The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1738 - 1825: Staying Outside
Yun Ge thought it might be her eyes playing tricks on her earlier...
She scratched her head in confusion and didn’t dwell on it further, continuing to walk forward and sit with the Great Commander...
Liang Zhichen exchanged a subtle glance with Shujun, Haoming, and Yixuan. Then he grabbed Haoming’s arm and said to Shujun and Yixuan, "You two stay outside, see if Yun Ge and the Commander need any help. Haoming and I will check inside the carriage."
Shujun carefully hid the anxious concern in her eyes, trying to act normal as she said, "Alright, go ahead, I’ll save some food for you."
Although Yixuan said nothing, he gave his brother a look, his gaze lingering slightly on his fourth brother.
Liang Zhichen glanced at the big fool next to him, then smiled lightly, indicating that Yixuan need not worry, and pulled Haoming onto the carriage.
This arrangement naturally made sense. The most worrisome ones in the family were Haoming and Yue Ning, even the youngest, Xiaoliu Yixuan, was more mature and stable than the two.
Shujun, having spent years in the business world, was accustomed to these sorts of intrigues. Yixuan had his own experience running a vineyard in Dongdi, being tight-lipped by nature. Leaving those two outside put Zhichen at ease, but Haoming was different. If left outside, this guy, who couldn’t keep a secret, might inadvertently reveal something to Yun Ge and spoil everything.
Yet just before boarding the carriage, Zhichen turned to look at Yun Ge once more. Yun Ge was chatting and laughing with the Great Commander, seemingly discussing something interesting. Zhichen’s eyes darkened slightly... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Yun Ge, Yun Ge...
If you knew, what would you do?
Let’s hope we’re overthinking, let’s hope it won’t turn into that situation, and let’s hope there won’t be a day where we must sever ties and meet in battle...
...
"Wife, Wife..."
Once inside the carriage, although Haoming didn’t utter a sound, his lips clearly mouthed his wife’s title.
He was like an ant on a hot pan, restless, his eyes full of worry, as if they were about to turn entirely red.
Liang Zhichen cast a cold glance at Haoming. Though he didn’t verbally reprimand, it was as if he was reminding Haoming to remain calm. Earlier outside the carriage, he hadn’t forgotten how Haoming almost drew his sword on Yun Ge; luckily, Yixuan quickly stopped him.
Shu Yu’s back was to his elder brother and fourth brother. As they boarded, Shu Yu had just laid Dong Huiying flat inside the carriage. Now he opened a small cloth bag and took out a set of golden needles.
Liang Zhichen was slightly surprised. Both the small cloth bag and these golden needles were items the wife never left behind.
To prevent being overheard, they couldn’t speak, but their expressions didn’t need to be hidden.
He watched Shu Yu’s subsequent actions in confusion.
Shu Yu reached over near Dong Huiying’s chest, then abruptly pulled open her collar. A large area of skin, white as snow, was exposed to his eyes.
He held the gold needle, then aimed at an acupuncture point near the wife’s chest and penetrated swiftly and accurately.
Liang Zhichen almost cried out in surprise, nearly stopping Shu Yu, but luckily remembered just in time that Shu Yu was not only his younger brother but also Dong Huiying’s husband, who would never harm her.
But even so, when the real moment came, Zhichen clenched his fist tightly, trying hard to suppress the impulse to call it off...
