Ding Yixuan entered the Youxiang Mansion and grew up with the sick and weak Zuo Pan'er.
Seeing that he was sincere to Shen Pan'er, the Prime Minister allowed him a certain freedom of movement.
It was rare that today was his birthday, and Ye Feng was willing to celebrate Ning He in this way.
Let’s be honest: a young man who can bend and stretch, and can do such things conscientiously and responsibly is really rare.
Ye Feng himself is definitely not good at it, so he admires his good nature.
In the southern suburbs, the surface of Fengqi Lake has frozen into ice. The huge ice surface shines dazzlingly under the reflection of the sun, like a crystal clear pearl.
The guards had already determined in advance where the ice in the lake was strongest, drilled more than a dozen fishing holes, set up awnings, and put out some tea and water. There are also bonfires set up on the shore of the lake.
Ice fishing is very interesting. Ye Feng liked to do this in his previous life, and he even liked playing on the ice.
This time they cannot play openly. Ye Feng and Zhang Chen arrived first, and before Ding Yixuan arrived, the two men wore fur cloaks and were warming themselves by the fire on the shore.
Zhang Chen didn't call for more people, thinking that one person from each of Zhang, Ye, and Ding's families would be enough.
Or perhaps, Zhang Chen, who looked up to Ding Yixuan, only found Ye Feng in these three homes.
Ding Yixuan brought an extra person.
He brought the thirteen-year-old Shen Pan'er.
Shen Pan'er has an ordinary appearance, but is still thin and frail and riddled with illness. Although he has very few activities, he is extremely optimistic and loves to laugh.
In fact, this kind of occasion is not suitable for her to get close. Without it, it would be too cold.
But she insisted on coming to celebrate Ding Yixuan's birthday together.
Ding Yixuan had no choice but to wrap her up like a dumpling and bring her here secretly.
She was happier than anyone else to see such a vast and white lake ice scene.
When Ye Feng saw this, he used a few pieces of wood to make a sliding plow for her.
It is a chair with a wide and narrow surface, and two planks of horizontal wood underneath. People sit cross-legged on it, or rely on others to pull it, or use their own hands to slide forward with two supports with nails on the tips. Very fun.
Seeing Shen Pan'er being pulled, pushed and slid by Ding Yixuan, smiling like a bird flying freely in the sky, Zhang Chen, standing beside Ye Feng, smiled and sighed: "After all, the countryside is better."
Young men like them who come from aristocratic families cannot imagine such many ways to play.
No one would let them play with such vulgar things.
The childhood of rural children is much more interesting than theirs.
Ye Feng deeply agreed.
Then he went to call for help and made two plows for Zhang Chen and himself.
Zhang Chen laughed so hard that he burst into tears.
Brother Honey Badger also felt like he was in heaven, jumping happily into the fish hole and enjoying fishing underwater. He didn't eat it either, so he took it out and threw it on the ice, then splashed the ice water all over himself on the people around him.
Focus on Ye Feng.
Zhang Chen was hit by Chi Yu, Xiaohehe and Ye Feng dodged each other.
They all had a very relaxed and happy time.
A man is a boy until he dies, let's play!
Unexpectedly, two hours later, someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion came and took Shen Paner back forcibly, regardless of her own wishes.
Ding Yixuan also followed back.
Ye Feng and Zhang Chen were left looking at each other. They suddenly lost their fun and packed up and went back to their respective houses.
That night, Ye Feng was awakened by the concierge in the middle of the night.
"Second Master, Master Yixuan is covered in blood outside our house."
Ye Feng hurriedly got out of bed and put on his clothes, while ordering: "Go and call the eldest lady for diagnosis and treatment."
He put on his shoes and ran out, calling for help from his servants to carry Ding Yixuan into his house.
Because Ye Feng often goes in and out of the mansion, the courtyard where he lives is closest to the main entrance.
Ding Yixuan was already unconscious. When he saw Ye Feng, he grabbed Ye Feng's hand and managed to speak out: "Pan'er died of high fever, I don't believe it."
After speaking, he fell into coma.
Ye Feng realized that a case was coming.
He just looked at Ding Yixuan who was placed on his bed in a daze.
Zhang Wanrong came quickly.
While interrupting Ye Feng's thoughts, it also made Ye Feng look at him with admiration.
A woman who seemed to hate herself came over without hesitation when she heard there was a patient in the middle of the cold winter night. She was really a dedicated and good girl.
Although he ignored me, he still took off the male patient's clothes without thinking in front of his fiancée...
Ye Feng did not feel that this was Wanrong's disrespect for him, but instead thought that it was trust.
Believe that you can understand.
But in fact... Wanrong took off her clothes for the patient with some intentional elements. She wanted Ye Feng to see her "true face" and then retreat voluntarily.
Little did he know that what he got in return was appreciation.
and cooperation.
Ye Feng stepped forward and took the initiative to help her strip off Ding Yixuan's clothes without changing his expression.
Wanrong looked at him, then at him, and suddenly felt that his face was a bit pleasing to the eye.
After taking another look, I gathered my mind and began to treat the patient with concentration and orderly. I felt inexplicably happy in my heart.
Ye Feng's attention is on the patient.
Ye Feng gritted his teeth as he looked at the numerous scars all over Ding Yixuan's body.
He went to the side to clean his hands carefully, then turned around to help Wanrong cooperate.
You clean it up and I apply the medicine.
I sew, you bandage...
Silent tacit understanding, unexpected ease.
Ye Feng suddenly understood that there was another way of understanding that medical treatment does not separate families. For example, he and Wanrong were both "medical widows". When facing naked patients or corpses, at least they didn't have to worry about the other party having second thoughts, and they could help each other.
It's very comfortable to do.
He even had time to think about the incident.
Shen Paner died, and the prime minister blamed Ding Yixuan for beating him half to death.
Why was his life spared?
Why did he come directly to find himself?
Maybe innocent people have the most direct sixth sense?
Ye Feng had no time to study, he was just thinking: How to solve this case?
He did not doubt Ding Yixuan's words.
During the day, I saw that although Shen Pan'er was weak and sick, he was far from being able to withstand a cold wind. And Ding Yixuan really took good care of him.
Could it be that Ding Yixuan has sinister emotions because he cannot accept the reality?
No, that's not possible either.
From Zhang Chen's words, Ye Feng knew that Ding Yixuan had been mentally prepared for Shen Pan'er's short life.
But what's the use of believing in Ding Yixuan?
Did the Prime Minister's Mansion allow him to enter? Can you solve the case yourself? Or can he allow himself to perform an autopsy on Shen Pan'er's body?
It's impossible. It seems like the only option for now is to wait.
According to the old custom of this dynasty of "never changing one's nature until one's death", before marriage, a woman should not enter the family tree, set up road sacrifices, enter ancestral graves, or erect inscriptions. The spiritual suspension will not exceed three days.
The more powerful people are, the more they pay attention to this.
In other words: The Right Prime Minister's Mansion will bury Shen Pan'er's body in a wild place at most in three days.
Then wait, wait three days.
Just as Ye Feng was thinking this, he suddenly felt that his trouser leg was being pulled.
When he looked down, he saw Brother Honey Badger pulling his trouser leg with one claw and pointing at his mouth with the other claw.
Ye Feng's eyes suddenly brightened.
He immediately ordered in his mind: "Go and steal it back."
The little honey badger ran away in a flash.
After Ye Feng asked Wanrong to take care of the patient, he went to Zhang Mansion.
Across from the main entrance of his house is the corner gate of Zhang's residence.
Zhang Mansion has a special mortuary, not far from the corner gate.
Ye Feng wants to go there to wait for Shen Pan'er's body.
The woman guarding the corner door was already used to Ye Feng coming and going at any time. She opened the door as soon as she heard his voice and did not notify Zhang Jian.
Ye Feng didn't want to disturb Zhang Jian for the time being.
If the circumstances of Shen Paner's death are indeed different, it means that this case will be very involved. Zhang Jian was already very tired, and Ye Feng was used to doing things by himself.
Moreover, there is a traitor in the Zhang family, and Ye Feng is still just "Ye Feng from the capital".
His autopsy skills had to be kept secret.
The night is as thick as ink, and the cold wind howls. The forest path leading from the corner gate to the remote mortuary was already dark and chaotic. At this time, it looked even more eerie and terrifying, as if it was like a road to hell. At the end of the winding road was a lonely courtyard.
Ye Feng walked among them holding a lantern, like a solitary person walking at night.
Faced with the darkness all around, which seemed like a mountain of pressure, he only thought: The widow must be the living spirit guide.
To redress the grievances of the dead and lead them to return to the underworld with peace of mind.
"Squeak".
Walking to the door of the single courtyard, he pushed open the ajar door, causing a commotion among the insects and rats in the courtyard, making bursts of "squeaking" sounds.
A gray rat was so confused that it bumped into his leg and then fell to the ground, pretending to be dead.
Ye Feng gently pushed it away with his feet and walked towards the main room.
