Not only to support Chu Xinyi, but as he becomes more and more powerful and has more and more interactions with the inner court, he really needs a virtuous and upstanding wife to help him deal with things.

However, the marriage was granted by decree, and he could not divorce his wife. There were only two ways to deal with Zhen Shiniang, one was to kill her, or to divorce her. Although he killed many people on the battlefield, let him kill an innocent woman. Shen Zhongqing really couldn't do that for such a powerful woman, especially this woman who once had a physical relationship with him.

After thinking for a few days, he decided to take time to go to his ancestral home and have a good talk with Zhen Shiniang. It would be best for the two of them to divorce peacefully. Although he felt that with her viciousness and cunning, asking her to agree to divorce would be tantamount to Let the sun come out in the west.

However, as a last resort, he would kill before he even thought about it.

I thought so, but there were too many official matters. By the time Shen Zhongqing actually got three days off and came to Wutong Town again, it was already a month later.

It was the autumn harvest, and the front and back of the ancestral house were covered with freshly harvested hazelnuts, mushrooms, wild vegetables and other fresh mountain products.

Magpie and Qiu Ju were sitting in the yard, picking mushrooms and chatting away, "... too few." Seeing that there were more than half the mountain products in the yard than in previous years, Magpie looked worried, " I'm afraid we'll be hungry again this winter." It's not like they adults are worried, but they're just afraid that Brother Wen and Brother Wu won't be able to bear it.

In previous years, she and Qiu Ju were the two picking wild products, but this year she became heavier and Qiu Ju was left alone.

"...Miss said it doesn't matter. After her pills are sold, I can buy half a pig for the New Year." Thinking of being able to eat several delicious pork meals in a row, Qiu Ju's mouth almost watered, and she felt regretful. We cannot celebrate the New Year tomorrow.

"You..." Magpie glared at her, "You just know how to eat and don't have a brain for everything. Miss, you are just trying to comfort us."

"What?" Qiu Ju raised her head in confusion, and a large piece of the root of a small gray mushroom in her hand was pinched off.

"Be careful, don't waste it all..." Magpie picked up the half of the root she threw away, peeled off only the layer of soil at the end of the root, and threw the rest back on the curtain, "Your uncle went to do something yesterday. Passing by Xiangrui Pharmacy, the lady hasn’t sold any of her pills. The price is too high and they’ve never been used before. Everyone is worried that they won’t work and no one dares to buy them...” He sighed, “I’m worried that the lady will secretly take them again this winter. The medicine has stopped."

Zhen Shiniang has weak Qi and blood, so she has to take tonics all year round. But in winter, especially when there is no harvest, they will run out of food. At this time, Zhen Shiniang will secretly stop taking the medicine to save money to buy food. For everyone to eat, this is also the reason why Zhen Shiniang's health has been deteriorating in the past five years despite her medical skills.

Therefore, when autumn comes, magpies and autumn chrysanthemums work hard to harvest autumn fruits and dry vegetables for winter use.

"How could that happen?" Qiu Ju screamed.

"Shh..." Magpie quickly waved his hand, "...let the lady listen carefully." It was lunch break and Jian Wu Jianwen had just gone to bed. Magpie guessed that Zhen Shiniang probably couldn't sleep and went to the backyard to play chess alone.

Qiu Ju lowered her voice, "...Although Miss doesn't visit the clinic often, most of the diseases she treats are difficult and complicated diseases that Dr. Feng cannot cure. It has been spread in this town for a long time that our Miss is a miracle doctor. Who wouldn’t believe in the medicine?”

The magpie sighed, "If Miss was there to sit in the clinic in person, some people would believe it, but Miss is so weak that she can't sit in the hall." He sighed again, "I estimate that most of the people thought that Ruixiang was beating our Miss. Selling fake medicine under the banner.”

Her identity is not allowed, and she is a woman. Zhen Shiniang always covers her face with green gauze when visiting the doctor. Dr. Jian's reputation is still great. After all, no one in the town has seen her true face. Without her personal recommendation, they can just introduce anything. The medicine is said to be from Dr. Jian, who believes it?

"...What should we do?" Qiu Ju stepped down with a small face.

"Sister-in-law Li gave me a few sets of old clothes yesterday. I've been taking them apart in the past two days and changing them into one set for Brother Wen and Brother Wu, and another one for you so that General Baba can celebrate the New Year..." Magpie hesitated for a moment, "Then... don't buy new clothes."

"Well..." Qiu Ju nodded, "As long as I'm not hungry, I..."

Just as he was talking, there was a knock on the door.

"...We are all busy collecting mountains, who has time to come to the door at this time?" While muttering, Qiu Ju got up and ran over to open the door.

This guy is so good-looking, I seem to have seen him somewhere.

Looking at the handsome and extraordinary Shen Zhongqing outside the courtyard gate, Qiu Ju forgot to turn her eyes and opened her mouth wide, unable to make a sound.

"Is Grandma here?" Shen Zhongqing walked around her and entered the hospital.

"Who's here?" Seeing that Qiu Ju had been gone for a long time without reply, Magpie asked. When he looked up, Shen Zhongqing and Rong Sheng had strode in. They were so frightened that the half-covered mushrooms in their hands were knocked over with a bang. "General..." She stood up in fear.

"There is no grandma here, this young man has found the wrong door!" After recovering her senses, Qiu Ju turned around and chased after her.

This guy is really rude. No matter how good-looking he is, he can't break into someone else's house.

"...What?" Shen Zhongqing's eyes narrowed, and the air around him suddenly dropped a few degrees.

What a strong evil spirit!

Qiu Ju shivered in fright, her words stuck on the tip of her tongue.

"General, what's wrong?" Magpie's teeth trembled a little.

"Where's grandma?"

"Here..." Suppressed by a sudden burst of evil energy from Shen Zhongqing's body, Magpie hesitated to find a way to hide Zhen Shiniang.

"General..." Seeing that Shen Zhongqing had walked to the door of the house, Magpie suddenly remembered that Jian Wen and Jian Wu were still sleeping in the house, and hurriedly called out to him, "Grandma is by the lotus pond in the backyard." Seeing Shen Zhongqing turn around. Go, Magpie breathed a sigh of relief, "I will take you there."

When he was about to nod, he thought that he wanted Zhen Shiniang to talk about reconciliation, and it was inconvenient to have a servant in front of him, so he shook his head and said, "I'll go by myself." Shen Zhongqing lived here for more than ten years before becoming rich. Shen Zhongqing was very interested in this place. Very familiar.

Thinking about the Jian Wu Jian Wen in the room, Magpie did not insist and stepped aside.

"Rongsheng first go to the town to book two guest rooms." Seeing Rongsheng following him, Shen Zhongqing ordered.

Zhen Shiniang is domineering and stubborn. Talking about peace and divorce with her cannot be settled in just a few words. He cannot go back today. Although it is his hometown, he does not want to live under the same roof as Zhen Shiniang. .

Knowing how much his general hated Zhen Shiniang, Rong Sheng responded, "Yes." He turned around and left.

The scenery is still the same, but more crowded than before.

Turning into the backyard from the side door, Shen Zhongqing was filled with emotions as he looked at the house full of childhood memories.

I remember that as soon as I turned this door, there was a small flower garden. My mother loved chrysanthemums the most. At this time of year, the place was full of golden daisies. At night, when he sat under the lamp and read a book, he could smell the fragrance of the flowers. "What a pity. They have all planted vegetables!" Seeing that the former garden and open space were covered by a half-foot-high fence, and densely planted with beans, Shen Zhongqing felt regretful in his heart.

After walking around the fence, Shen Zhongqing saw that his childhood playground in front of him was also enclosed by a half-person-high fence, with more than twenty chickens raised inside. Shen Zhongqing frowned, "This stupid woman!"

She is really capable of doing things, but if there are only three people to eat, is there any need to waste a whole yard like this? Not to mention that she had a generous dowry when she came here, and the half-acre lotus pond alone can support three or five people. More than enough!

Seeing the former paradise destroyed like this, Shen Zhongqing felt a little distressed. He smelled a pungent smell coming from the chicken coop. He quickly quickened his pace and walked straight out of the passage. Then he exhaled heavily and raised his head. Seeing that the pond with fields of lotus leaves in front of him and the stone benches and tables beside the pond were still there and had not been destroyed, and had been transformed into a pig pen and a sheep shed, Shen Zhongqing finally felt better.

"...This pool of white lotus was well raised by her." As he thought, his eyes fell on the slender gray-white figure on the stone bench not far away, and Shen Zhongqing was stunned unconsciously.

Is that person her?
