General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming

187 Su Yuan’s Visit

Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought.

Su Yuniang said, “I’ll go to Old Su’s house later to see if I can find out anything.”

“Did you encounter anything strange in the past few days?” Su Xiaoxiao was referring to whether the Su family had secretly caused trouble.

Su Yuniang frowned and said, “I almost forgot. There’s nothing strange, but there’s one strange person.”

!!

“Who?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Su Yuniang wanted to say something but hesitated. “Forget it. There’s no need to mention a person with a mental illness. Let’s talk about you. How’s the business in the prefecture? Did you mess it up?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s face darkened. “What do you mean by messing it up? Can’t you hope for me to be better?”

“Yes,” Su Yuniang said. “Did you mess it up?”

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a stack of banknotes and placed them on the table.

Su Yuniang smiled. “Oh, not bad. It’s 100 taels more than last time in the prefecture capital. Who did you extort this time?”

Su Xiaoxiao’s face was serious. “I earned it myself!”

She would never admit that Ergou had fought with someone else!

…

Over the past few days, Su Yuniang had been searching for news. She was even more tired than Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou. After talking to Su Xiaoxiao, she went back to her room to catch up on sleep without eating.

The carriage was returned by Liu Ping. After he delivered the goods and took the orders, he returned to the village to settle the carriage.

When Liu Ping and Little Wu did things, they did not need anyone to say anything.

They could take the initiative to find something to do.

Although she did not have to return the carriage herself, she had two letters to hand to Madam Fu and Dean Shen.

After lunch, she went to town.

She went to see the Fu family first.

Other than handing the letter to Grandmaster Hui Jue, the other task was to remove the splint for Madam Fu.

Actually, Physician Fu could also dismantle it, but he had been making house calls these few days.

After Su Xiaoxiao removed the splint, she helped Madam Fu walk on the ground.

“How do you feel?” she asked.

“Nothing!” Aunt Fu exerted a little force. Her feet were strong, and she could feel that her bones had indeed healed.

At her age, her healing ability was extremely poor. Yet she recovered more quickly than most people with the same condition.

“Ouch!”

Her legs buckled.

Su Xiaoxiao gently raised her hand and supported her.

“You haven’t used your strength in a long time. You have to get used to it for a while.”

Aunt Fu snorted, “Do I need you to tell me?”

She grabbed Su Xiaoxiao’s hand and limped back to the bed.

“It still hurts a little.” She frowned. “Have I not recovered?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “That’s because you haven’t been moving for a long time. Your joints and ligaments have either adhered or contractured. Through rehabilitation, I can pull away the adhesive ligaments and it won’t hurt anymore.”

Aunt Fu said expressionlessly, “It sounds very painful.”

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her chubby hand. “Come, come, come. I’ll teach you.”

Aunt Fu sat on the bed and said shamelessly, “I’m sleepy.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Is Physician Fu here?”

“He’s not here… What are you doing?” Aunt Fu realized that something was wrong.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled evilly, bent down, picked her up, and ran!

Madam Fu was stunned

Su Xiaoxiao placed her in the backyard.

“Do you want to go back to your room?”

“Walk on your own.”

Aunt Fu’s face darkened!

On the first day of Aunt Fu’s rehabilitation, Su Xiaoxiao showed mercy and only “tortured” her for half an hour.

Then, Su Xiaoxiao carried a big bag of red peanuts and swaggered away.

Not long after she left, an inconspicuous carriage stopped at the entrance of the Fu residence.

The coachman came down and looked at the door plate. He reported to the man on the carriage, “Master, it’s the Fu family.”

Su Yuan got off the carriage.

He looked at the old door and frowned slightly.

The coachman said, “Sir, the door is open.”

“Knock on the door,” Su Yuan said.

...

“Yes.” The coachman knocked on the door.

Madam Fu had just sent the little fiend away and was fuming. When she heard someone knocking on the door, she shouted angrily, “What are you knocking for? Can’t you see that the door is open?”

She thought it was one of the neighbors.

He stood at the door but did not enter.

She said angrily, “If you have something to say, say it! My son isn’t here! I’m not playing cards today!”

Her legs were about to break, and she didn’t have any strength left!

Still, the other party didn’t say anything. She walked to the central room with her walking stick.

When she saw Su Yuan in a navy blue robe, her expression froze.

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Yuan’s eyes.

Aunt Fu realized that she was in a sorry state and her hair was messing after being tortured by the little girl. It was as if she had fought with someone…

She coughed lightly and casually pulled her hair. She asked indifferently, “Why is the prince here?”

...

Su Yuan bowed politely. “Madam Fu.”

Madam Fu said, “My status is low. I’m afraid the prince will shorten my lifespan by calling me Madam.”

“Old Madam Fu, you’re being too serious.” Su Yuan looked at her leg. “Your leg is…”

“My leg is fine.” Aunt Fu did not want to talk about it. “Prince, why did you come all the way from the capital?”

Su Yuan said, “I’m performing the crowning ceremony for my son. So I’m bringing him back to the village to pay respects to his ancestors and burn incense for my aunt.”

Aunt Fu limped to the table and sat down. She glanced at the chair beside her. “If you don’t mind, take a seat.”

Su Yuan sat down on the other side of the table.

Aunt Fu asked, “Which son of yours is he? Is he already getting married?”

“Second child.” Su Yuan said.

Aunt Fu recalled. “That little snotty slug?”

Su Yuan smiled. “Yes, it’s him.”

His second child had an allergic reaction when he was young and had snot bubbles all day long.

He smiled and said, “Imperial Physician Fu cured him.”

Aunt Fu frowned. “You can’t be here to chat with me, right? Did that old nun Hui Jue tell you where I live?”

Su Yuan said, “I did visit Grandmaster Hui Jue.”

Aunt Fu snorted.

Su Yuan continued, “To be honest, I’m here to ask for a favor. My father’s chronic illness is getting worse. The doctors in the capital are helpless. I want to ask Imperial Physician Fu…”

“You’re late. He’s not here anymore,” Aunt Fu said calmly and asked strangely, “Didn’t Hui Jue tell you?”

Su Yuan’s heart ached. “I didn’t ask.”

He had only inquired about Imperial Physician Fu’s residence. How could he have expected Imperial Physician Fu to have passed away?

He opened his mouth. “Your son…”

Aunt Fu said, “He’s out on a house call. I don’t know when he’ll be back. Besides, he can’t treat the Marquis’ illness.”

After Su Xiaoxiao came out of Spring Willow Alley, she walked to Wutong Academy and bumped into Liu Ping and Su Ergou.

“Eh? Sister!”

Su Ergou rushed forward excitedly.

“Da Ya.” Liu Ping also greeted her. “We’re out to buy flour.”

“Are you done?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Liu Ping said, “We’re done! It’s just that there was not enough flour in the shops. We had to go to the warehouse to get it. We needed more time.”

Su Ergou asked, “Sister, where are you going?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’m going to the Academy.”

Su Ergou immediately said, “I’ll go with you!”

Su Xiaoxiao nodded. “Okay.”
