"Why is your face so red?" Guo Xintong said a few words but saw no response from Shen Tianshu. He looked up and saw her cheeks were red and couldn't help but ask.
Before Shen Tianshu could speak, Shen Yunhui spilled the tea in the cup, jumped up with a "yeah" sound, and hurriedly pulled out the handkerchief to wipe it.
Guo Xintong looked at it and couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong with you two sisters? Your faces are as red as monkey's butts."
Shen Tianshu quickly used Shen Yunhui as an excuse and said: "Yunhui is still young, what nonsense are you saying in front of the child!"
When she was in the government office before, she could calmly tell herself that Li Zian was just trying to help her out and prevent her identity from being exposed.
But when she heard Guo Xintong tell this matter mysteriously, especially when Mrs. Guo knew her true identity, the more she thought about it, the redder and hotter her face became.
As Li Zian is the crown prince of Prince Rui's Mansion, matters related to him will naturally arouse the attention and heated discussion of everyone in Wuchang Mansion.
Now that even Guo Xintong, who just arrived in Wuchang Prefecture, has heard the news, it must have spread a lot outside.
When she thought that she might have to face inquiries from everyone in the medical clinic, Shen Tianshu, who had been quite grateful to Li Zian before, couldn't help but feel a sense of shame and annoyance in his heart.
How could she continue to practice medicine as Mrs. Tong?
If it really doesn't work, we can only avoid the limelight first and wait until the heat of the rumors outside subsides.
Shen Yunhui made herself a cup of tea and had to go back and change clothes before coming back. Guo Xintong and Shen Tianshu were the only two people left in the room.
"Your sister is gone, can we talk now?" Guo Xintong said with a smile, "Originally, when I moved to Wuchang Mansion, I wanted to take the time to go to Mrs. Tong for a follow-up check-up to see if I was feeling better.
"Unexpectedly, I sent someone to ask, and when I came back, I was told that Mrs. Tong is basically at Prince Rui's Mansion on weekdays, not at the hospital. She only comes back once every ten and a half months, and there is no fixed time. We can only try her luck to catch up. .
"At that time, I thought that Mrs. Tong lived in Prince Rui's Mansion to facilitate Prince Rui's medical treatment. Who knew that this was actually the case..."
Now that there was no one else in the room to interfere, Guo Xintong became more and more excited as he talked.
"It's a pity that Lady Tong has always been wearing a mask, and I have never seen what she really looks like.
"But no matter what happens to him, Prince Rui will not lose out on this deal. This is a miracle doctor for nothing!
"It's very difficult for others to seek medical treatment from Madam Tong. It's better for him to raise her directly in his own room. From now on, whoever wants to see a doctor in the palace will be more convenient!"
Seeing that Guo Xintong was talking more and more outrageously, and still looking like she was still unfinished, Shen Tianshu was worried that she would still hold on to this issue, so he hurriedly changed the subject and said: "It's been almost half a year since I moved to Yongzhou Mansion. Did anything interesting happen over there?"
"Yongzhou Prefecture is just like that. It's very boring. It's nothing like Wuchang Prefecture..." Guo Xintong said, suddenly remembering something, and immediately said, "There is nothing interesting, but something did happen after you left." Something.
"Do you still remember the Cheng family? It's the home of Cheng Haodong, son Cheng Xuhuan, and daughter Cheng Yingxin."
"Remember, what happened to her family?" Shen Tianshu mentioned this and immediately thought of Song Rongqian who had eloped.
"Then do you still remember Miss Song Rongqian and Song?"
"Of course I remember." Shen Tianshu nodded, "Did something happen to the girl from the Song family in Shuntian Prefecture?"
"This is a strange thing to say." Guo Xintong took a sip of tea and said as if she was going to have a long speech, "In fact, when Miss Song first arrived in Huguang, everyone wondered if she was rushing to be the heir apparent. The concubine is here.
"Later, after several contacts, I discovered that although she was said to be a direct relative of the Song family in Shuntian Prefecture, her behavior was far different from that of other ladies. At that time, everyone said privately that they were afraid that she was not an imposter to cheat the marriage. of.
"If Cheng's family hadn't endorsed her identity, she would have been regarded as a liar.
"Later, everyone saw that although Mrs. Cheng took her everywhere to attend banquets and meet people, she had no intention of marrying anyone. Instead, she revealed that she wanted to marry Miss Song to the son of the Cheng family, so they reluctantly It eliminated everyone's suspicion.
"At that time, some people told me privately that they used to think that Huguang was a frontier and barbaric land, but who would have thought that the ladies from Shuntian Prefecture were nothing more than that.
"It stands to reason that the Cheng family wants to marry the Song family, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. This matter should have come to an end at this point. Who knows what happened later, and Miss Song suddenly disappeared.
"I heard that Mrs. Cheng made a big fuss outside the city at that time. When she returned, Master Cheng asked her to be sick and kept her at home and did not allow her to go out.
"But after all, no paper can stop the fire. This matter finally reached the ears of the Song family. In March, Miss Song's family came to the door. This time everyone finally figured out her identity. .
"It's not bad to say she is the daughter of the Song family, but it would be a bit exaggerated to say she is a direct relative. The people who bully Huguang don't know the situation of the Song family.
"His father is a branch of the Song family. He just works for the master's family, which is somewhat respectable.
"Although his mother is the first wife, she is the second wife, and she has children left by her original wife. She is not favored at home. She tried every means to be sent to a relative's house in Huguang by her daughter, and she used the name of the Song family to use the name of the Song family. He is planning to find a good marriage for his daughter.
"Unexpectedly, the golden turtle son-in-law has not been found. Instead, he has lost his daughter. After receiving the news, he rushed to Huguang and had a lively fight with Mrs. Cheng. He even went to report it to the official and asked the magistrate for a clear decision."
Shen Tianshu didn't expect that it would be involved in so many things later.
Thinking about it, Miss Song's mother only has one daughter. If she can really marry into a good family, she will have someone to rely on in the future.
How her husband's family treats her depends to some extent on her uncle's face, so as not to do things too badly.
Unexpectedly, suddenly, like a bolt from the blue, her daughter disappeared. How could she remain calm?
"What happened next? Did you find someone?"
"That's the strange thing. The newly appointed Yongzhou Prefecture governor didn't want to offend the Song family, so he sent people to look for her. However, there was no trace of Miss Song until my family moved away. No clues found.
"Tell me, she is a young girl. Even if she was bullied by the Cheng family and wanted to escape, she would not be able to leave without leaving any trace.
"Besides, after she ran away, she should have tried her best to return to the Song family in Shuntian Prefecture. Now that there is no trace at either end, there is a high probability that something happened on the road, and she is probably dead by now.
"It's just that everyone only dares to talk about this in private. No one dares to mention it in front of her mother, for fear that she won't be able to bear the stimulation and will go crazy..."
Shen Tianshu couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He had sent Song Rongqian out at her request, but now he didn't know how she was doing, let alone whether his original decision was right or wrong.
