Chapter 27 You should collect his body

Shen Linchuan looked at the badge in his hand and recognized it as real at a glance.

He quickly gathered his sleeves and bowed deeply, saying, "Please forgive me, Doctor Chen. It is my mother and sister who are blind and do not recognize the great man."

Seeing her son perform such a great ceremony, Old Lady Shen was surprised to realize that the man in front of her was actually a real imperial physician.

She groaned, clasped her hands together and said, "I said that Doctor Chen's demeanor is extraordinary. It is a blessing for our Shen family that you can come to our Shen family.

What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. Doctor, please don't take it to heart. With you here, my son can be saved."

Chen Jintang put away the badge in his hand and said in a calm voice, "I'm afraid you will disappoint the old lady, because there is no hope for your son. You should just collect his body."

He snorted, carried his medicine box and walked away without looking back.

"Doctor Chen, Doctor Chen, please don't leave."

Old Madam Shen panicked and hurried to chase after him, but because she walked too fast, she accidentally fell to the ground.

Shen Linchuan and Shen Suyun hurried to help her.

When the old lady saw that Doctor Chen had already left the courtyard, she said to her two children anxiously, "Go and get him back quickly."

Shen Linchuan looked at Song Shiwei for help. He just opened his mouth and called out, "My wife."

Song Shiwei interrupted what he was about to say.

“The imperial doctors in the palace treat the nobles, and only those of high moral character and prestige can be hired by the noble families in the capital.

Doctor Chen had some personal relationship with my father, so he was willing to come with me to the Shen family to treat my eldest brother.

But you actually questioned his identity. How is this different from humiliating him?

Now even the imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital has been offended by you, and I can do nothing about it. Big Brother can only wish for the best for himself!"

After leaving these words, she walked out of the yard and chased out of the house.

Chen Jintang was standing in front of the Shen family's gate. The red lanterns hanging in front of the door emitted a faint red light that shone on his face, showing that his expression was very gloomy.

Song Shiwei stepped forward, knelt down and bowed, saying, "I'm so sorry for making you suffer, Doctor Chen.

I will come to apologize someday. I will ask the driver to take you back now."

Chen Jintang turned around and looked at her and asked, "Is this how the Shen family treats you?"

Song Shiwei was stunned for a moment. She was not familiar with Doctor Chen, but his words sounded like the tone of an elder.

Chen Jintang stared at her, as if he had seen an old friend, and said, "You look a lot like your mother."

Song Shiwei was startled, then reacted: "Do you know my mother?"

Doctor Chen nodded and said, "To be exact, your mother has done me a great favor.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to repay her yet.

Later I heard that you were not well and were sent to the countryside, so I asked my senior brother to look after you. His name is Guanglingzi, and I think you should know him. "

Song Shiwei's eyes widened.

She did know a strange doctor named Guanglingzi, and all those strange medicines in her hands were given by him.

Every once in a while, Guanglingzi would come to Qingshui Town to see her.

He was a traveling doctor who traveled all over the country. He would collect many strange things and give them to her, and tell her what he had seen and heard.

Before returning to Beijing, Guanglingzi gave her Huichun Hall as a dowry.

Now, she is the owner of Huichuntang.

When Xiao Jingheng suspected her relationship with Huichuntang, she made up a story and said that her mother had done a favor to the owner of Huichuntang.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.

Song Shiwei came back to her senses. She looked at Chen Jintang with thousands of words in her mind but she didn't know how to start. In the end, she only asked him one question: "What kind of person is my mother?"

When Chen Jintang thought of his old friend, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

"Your mother is the best person in the world."

He took a deep breath and said, “When my father passed away, I didn’t even have the money to bury him, and it was your mother who helped me.

When she learned that I had been studying medicine since I was a child, she advised me not to give up and gave me some money so that I could go to the Valley of Divine Doctors to study under a master.

Later, when I had learned enough knowledge, I asked around for news about your mother, but all I heard was that she had already died of illness.

I just regret that all my knowledge was not enough to save her."

This is his lifelong regret.

When Song Shiwei heard him say this, she knew that he didn't know there was another secret behind his mother's death. She asked, "Does my father know that my mother helped you?"

Chen Jintang narrowed his eyes and said, “Mr. Cheng En announced to the public that you were raised in the countryside because you were in poor health.

But my senior brother examined you and said that there was nothing wrong with your body, so I knew there must be something hidden, so I became acquainted with your father.

He didn't know the relationship between your mother and I, but later I found out some information through indirect means.

The reason they want to send you away is because the Taoist priest said that you will bring bad luck to your parents."

He sneered: "What about punishing your parents? It's just an excuse.

Just half a year after your mother passed away, your father made Zhou his principal wife.

If your father really had feelings for your mother, why would he be so eager to marry someone else?

After your mother died, all the property of the Xu family became Song Moting's, but they couldn't even accommodate a child like you.

For so many years, he has abandoned you in the countryside and left you to fend for yourself, and now he has found such a marriage for you. Damn it!"

When he said this, he couldn't hide the anger on his face.

When he first heard about Song Shiwei's marriage, he thought Shen Linchuan would be a good man, but he never expected that the Shen family would be such a person.

And all this was thanks to Song Moting. It was a pity that he was just an irrelevant outsider and didn't know how to help her.

Song Shiwei was a little touched. In fact, he had already done a lot to repay his gratitude.

She knelt down and bowed, saying, “No matter what, I have to thank you.

If you hadn't asked Master Guanglingzi to look after me, I might not have grown up healthy.

As for the Shen family, don't worry. I have seen the true colors of the Shen family during the past few days since we got married. I will find a way to get a divorce."

After hearing what she said, Chen Jintang's anger finally dissipated a little, and he said, "It's best if you think so.

I was worried that you would be like those other girls in the boudoir, clinging to some female virtues and teachings, and saying some bullshit saying, "If you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog."

Song Shiwei chuckled: "You worry too much. After all, I was taught by Master Guanglingzi. How could I be so old-fashioned and pedantic?"

She thought of something and asked curiously, "Before, I wanted to take Guanglingzi as my teacher and learn medical skills from him.

But he refused to teach me. Do you know why? "

Because of Guanglingzi, she became interested in medicine and wanted to become Guanglingzi's disciple.

However, he refused and even expressly forbade her to touch medicine.

But no matter whether it was self-defense poison or life-saving medicine, Guanglingzi gave it to her generously, the only thing she knew nothing about was medicine.

This has always been a confusion in her heart.

Speaking of this, Chen Jintang frowned and sighed, "He was right not to teach you. As for the specific reason, I will tell you when I have the chance."
