The atmosphere that was already a bit tense suddenly calmed down because of Shen Tianshu's words.
Han Changran breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Mrs. Tong is here to give my father a follow-up consultation, right?"
Shen Tianshu heard the faint nervousness in Han Changran's tone, smiled and nodded: "Yes, although it's not the day for follow-up consultation yet, I happened to have something to do at the medical clinic today, so I stopped by to see the old man."
Qian Poxin took advantage of the situation and said: "It just so happens that I brought Imperial Doctor Liu here to see Mr. Han today, why don't we take a look together.
"If you have any questions, Mrs. Tong can also discuss them with Dr. Liu.
"After all, he is an imperial doctor that even Concubine Fengrong praised highly. Lady Tong shouldn't mind, right?"
"Of course not. It's my honor to be able to ask the imperial doctor for advice." Shen Tianshu's voice was very natural, but his mood was very complicated.
She didn't know how Liu Xukun got involved with Qian Poxin.
But ever since I found out that Liu Xukun was actually sent by the emperor and even secretly attacked Prince Rui, I felt that he was no longer the senior brother I knew before.
But think about it, the Jiang family no longer exists, how can we ask others to continue to abide by the family rules established by the grandfather.
But Liu Xukun had a close relationship with her back then and could be said to be both a teacher and a friend.
So seeing him doing these things now makes Shen Tianshu feel particularly uncomfortable.
Liu Xukun said with a smile: "Although Mrs. Tong is young, she is extremely talented and has excellent medical skills.
"I just have a few years and a little more experience. I really don't dare to ask for advice.
"But this isn't a competition, it's all for Mr. Han's good health, right?"
Qian Poxin opened and shut his mouth and used the Queen Mother Fengrong to suppress him, and Liu Xukun lowered his attitude so low that he had already forced Han Changran into a corner and could not find any reason to refuse.
"Actually, Mr. Han's illness has almost recovered, but after all, he is old. After a serious illness, he will not recover as quickly as young people. He still needs more care. Dr. Liu must be more experienced in this regard than me."
As Shen Tianshu spoke, he turned to look at Han Changran and said, "Although Mr. Han has a stubborn temper, I can try to help persuade him. What do you think of Mr. Han?"
Han Changran didn't know what Shen Tianshu was planning, but seeing her calm attitude, he decided to believe her for once.
Han Changran led a few people to Mr. Han's yard. He also said on the way: "My father has a stubborn temper. If there is any offense later, I will first apologize to Mr. Qian for him."
"Don't worry, Mr. Han, I won't care about it," Qian Poxin said with a smile.
Liu Xukun followed the two of them and chose to talk to Shen Tianshu: "When Lady Tong rescued Lady Tong, I didn't even know that you were actually Xiao Tong's disciple.
"You are now practicing medicine under the name of Mrs. Tong, presumably to commemorate Xiao Tong, right?"
"Yes!" As soon as Shen Tianshu heard him yelling one after another, he felt as if he had returned to the Jiang family's old house, as if he was still studying medicine with his grandfather and senior brothers and sisters. His mood was very complicated for a moment.
"When something happened to the Jiang family, I was in Wuchang Mansion. When I got the news and rushed there, it was already too late..." Liu Xukun said with a hint of sadness in his voice, "I heard that you went there specially before. I have paid my respects and am now sincere.
"I go there every year, and I still can't believe that Master has really left us forever like this."
Hearing what he said, Shen Tianshu felt as if a big stone had been pressed on his heart. He felt unspeakably depressed and uncomfortable, and his eye circles began to turn red.
But she didn't want to be too obvious, so she could only use the cover of her sleeves, slowly clenched her fists, took a deep breath and said: "Although I am lucky enough to learn medical skills from the princess, I regret that I have never been there before. Jiang Zhai only admires Dr. Jiang, and has never had the chance to meet him."
"I see, I've never heard of you before!
"Back then, I and several other senior brothers of similar age once said that my master is very skilled in medicine and good at skin care, so he will definitely live a long life.
"When we get old and can no longer work, we will all return to the master to help him organize medical records and accompany him to live his old age.
"Who would have thought? Before we can fulfill our promise, Master has already..."
Shen Tianshu's fists clenched tighter and tighter, and her nails dug deeply into the flesh of her palms, but it did nothing to alleviate the grief in her heart at this time.
Fortunately, they soon arrived at Mr. Han's yard, and Liu Xukun finally stopped talking.
Shen Tianshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and tried to calm down his emotions.
"Ms. Tong, please go in first and persuade the old man..." Han Changran turned back to Shen Tianshu, wanting her to go in first and make a confession with Mr. Han, but he happened to see her red eyes, "Ms. Tong, what's wrong? "
Liu Xukun heard this and said quickly: "It's all my fault. I originally thought that Lady Tong was my junior sister's apprentice. I just talked about the Jiang family when we met. I didn't expect to make Lady Tong sad."
"Every time Dr. Liu mentioned his master, he was heartbroken with grief. How could he not have imagined that Mrs. Tong would be sad because of this!"
Li Zian's voice suddenly came from behind.
Shen Tianshu turned around in surprise and followed the sound, and his eyes met with his in a hurry.
Looking at Shen Tianshu's red eyes and the tears already welling up in his eyes, Li Zian suddenly felt a deep pain in his heart.
"Your Majesty!" Others were very surprised to see Li Zi'an and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Liu Xukun was choked by Li Zian in public, and he couldn't believe it for a moment.
Although he often worries that he has been suspected by Li Zian, Li Zian's attitude towards him has always been quite respectful.
In my memory, it seemed that this was the first time Li Zian spoke to him in such an unkind tone.
"Master Shizi, I..." Liu Xukun wanted to explain, but Li Zian obviously didn't want to hear it.
He nodded slightly to the others, then walked straight to Shen Tianshu, looked down at her with concern, and asked softly: "Are you okay?"
Shen Tianshu knew that letting him say it was okay and then exposing the matter was the most appropriate way for him to deal with it.
But looking at Li Zian's concerned look, I suddenly felt very aggrieved and didn't want to say anything against my will.
She lowered her eyes slightly, bit her lower lip gently, and said nothing.
Seeing this, Li Zian reached out and patted her shoulder twice to express comfort.
Qian Poxin's eyes flashed, a polite smile appeared on his face, and he said tentatively: "I didn't expect to meet the prince at the Han family today. What a coincidence! Is the prince also here to visit Mr. Han?"
Li Zian didn't follow his lead and said directly: "I'm here to pick someone up."
He had been standing behind Shen Tianshu since he came in. Although he didn't make any other movements except patting his shoulders twice, he still seemed to be trying to protect him in his arms.
It is naturally self-evident who the person to be picked up is.
