The two siblings were chatting under the pear tree. The pear, which was as big as a small potato, looked a little bigger than when Xu Wanning first came home.
"She went to see Guan Tan because she wanted Guan Tan to cure her goose claw syndrome." Xu Wanning said, "It seems that Guan Tan has not found a way to cure the disease, so they will continue to buy dead people." nail."
Xu Jia: "This disease is recorded in the Huangdi Neijing. The qi comes from the internal organs, the color comes from the brilliance, and the liver brilliance comes from the claws. The goose claw wind that Wan Lan got is probably due to a problem with her liver. She can simply cure it by treating her nails. It’s treating the symptoms rather than the root cause.”
"Brother, have you seen it?" Xu Wanning asked curiously.
Xu Jia smiled and nodded: "Not only have I seen it, I have followed my father all over the world over the years, and I have not forgotten to visit famous local doctors when I was doing business. I once saw a doctor specializing in treating this disease. This disease is both It needs to be taken internally to treat the liver and externally to treat the nails, which is time-consuming and expensive. An Ning..."
"Um?"
"What name do you think I should use this time, and which face should I use?"
"Brother, Duke Wei's palace is unfathomable. I don't want you to be involved here." This is Xu Wanning's own grudge, and she doesn't want other people in the family to be involved.
"Wan Lan captured you and gave it to Cui Yunfeng to torture you." Xu Jia clenched her fists under her sleeves and said, "She didn't succeed this time, and she will find a way to retaliate against you next time, Aning. Since they won’t let it go, we can’t sit back and wait. This is a great opportunity and I won’t miss it!”
Anyone who bullies Aning is his enemy.
"Brother..."
Xu Jia smiled at her, then looked away and looked at the potato-sized green pears on the tree: "In a few months, these pears will be edible. Last year, the pears were very sour. I don't know how they will taste this year."
"It will definitely be delicious." Xu Wanning said with a smile.
"Most definitely."
The two brothers and sister were sitting under the tree. A gust of wind blew, making the leaves rustle, and even the small potato-like green pears swayed, as if responding to the conversation between the two.
On the two-meter-high courtyard wall, under the cover of the leafy pear branches, sat a man in purple, with one leg propped up and one leg hanging above the courtyard wall. No one could see him, but he could see it. People sitting under the pear tree.
There was a trace of imperceptible anger in his eyes.
"Master, the medicine is ready. It's warm enough to be taken into the mouth." Hongmei came with the medicine.
Qing Xing also came over with a plate of candied fruits: "Master, after drinking the medicine, have a candied fruit."
Xu Jia smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of hardship."
He drank the medicine in one gulp, and Xu Wanning took a candied fruit and put it into his mouth. Seeing his surprised look, Xu Wanning said, "I know you are not afraid of bitterness, but eating something sweet can make people happy."
After taking a bite of the candied fruit, the sweet taste spread in his mouth. Xu Jia smiled and said, "Indeed, it's not bitter at all."
Pei Heng, who was sitting in the tree, said with a dark face: "... He is quite good at taking care of others."
Xu Jia drank the medicine and left.
Xu Wanning also rested, "You all should go back and rest. I'll go to the study to read."
Hongmei sent Xu Wanning to the study, made her a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and then left.
Xu Wanning picked up the book on the desk and continued reading.
She read very seriously, almost ignoring the sounds from the outside world. It wasn't until she finished reading that Xu Wanning raised her head and stretched her neck.
The person sitting on the window lattice was looking at her with his arms crossed.
I don’t know how long I watched it.
"Why are you here?" Xu Wanning quickly put the book on the table.
Pei Heng asked her, "Why don't you ask me how long I've been here?"
"How long have you been here?" As soon as Xu Wanning opened her mouth, she felt a little annoyed. Why should you listen to him?
Pei Heng didn't expect that Xu Wanning would actually ask, and smiled: "I will be there when you get the book."
Xu Wanning: "..." She has read the last few pages, maybe seven or eight pages.
This man is really patient.
"Master Pei, are you very free?"
Xu Wanning stood up, took the finished book with her and put it back on the bookshelf.
"I'm not busy. I happened to be passing by and came in to take a look. But since you are studying so seriously, I don't have the nerve to disturb you." Pei Heng turned over and entered the study.
It's broad daylight, so it doesn't matter.
Pei Heng sat familiarly where Xu Wanning sat, took a teacup in front of him, took a kettle, and poured a cup of tea.
Chrysanthemums are brewed in hot water, with a chrysanthemum fragrance, and the tea is slightly yellow.
Pei Heng poured a cup and took a sip. He frowned slightly, but still drank it all in one gulp. He poured himself a second cup until all the tea in the pot was drained.
There are a few spoons of honey in this tea, and the chrysanthemum water is sweet.
"You..." Xu Wanning, who came back from putting down the books, saw Pei Heng sitting in her seat, holding a teapot in her right hand and a teacup in her left hand, and her face turned red.
That tea cup was one she had used.
She had had two drinks just now, even while reading, he should have seen it.
Pei Heng shook the teapot: "I've finished drinking, is there any more?"
Xu Wanning didn't say anything about the teacup and picked up the teapot: "Yes, I'll pour it."
She poured water and put it in front of Pei Heng. Pei Heng asked, "Did you add honey?"
Xu Wanning shook her head and asked Pei Heng with some confusion: "Don't you like drinking sweet water?"
He even asked for honey. The sun came out from the west?
Pei Heng held his chin in his hands and said with a smile, "It's so sweet that it makes people happy."
Xu Wanning said this to Xu Jia. If he could say it, he must have been there at the time.
This man was hiding in the dark, and Xu Wanning's face turned dark: "...how long have you been here?"
"Not long after, you were talking under the tree about Wan Lan getting the goose claw wind."
Xu Wanning: "..." Not long ago, this person heard the conversation between her and her elder brother from beginning to end.
Her face was livid, as if she was about to get angry, and Pei Heng immediately changed the subject, "I'm here to tell you something very important!"
"What?" Xu Wanning's face still looked bad. If what you said is not important, I will turn against you.
"My second uncle found me today and asked me to let Cui Yunfeng go," Pei Heng said.
Xu Wanning was startled: "Your second uncle? The current Duke of Zhenguo?"
"Yeah. Wei Kun didn't find me, but my second uncle. It seems that he thought Duke Zhen Guo could influence my decision."
"If you come to tell me about this matter, you have already made a decision." Xu Wanning said.
"You?" Pei Heng raised his head and looked at Xu Wanning in surprise.
Why, she could understand what he was thinking.
"Your mother is in the Zhenguo Palace. He must have used your mother to talk to you and asked you to let Cui Yunfeng go, right?" Xu Wanning asked.
Pei Heng's mouth felt sour.
"yes."
He took a sip of chrysanthemum tea without honey and frowned. It was really bitter.
Xu Wanning looked at Pei Heng, her eyes falling on the back of his hand where veins were bulging out as he tried to hold back his anger.
Although Pei Heng has a bad reputation now, he has not yet become the bloodthirsty King of Hell until...
His mother Yan died of illness.
From then on, Pei Heng went "crazy".
