Baozi Xishi's Struggle

Chapter 454: Doctor Sun, Your Case Is Looking Better

"If it weren't for her, I don't know how much more money I would have spent."

"We didn't buy anything fancy, just some thick fabrics and food."

"These are not afraid of bumps, and there are not many of them. They are a gift from my mother. Please accept them, uncle."

When Boss Li saw Shen Yu said so, he gave up.

The next day, when Li took Li Lao Da to go shopping, his mother still only let Li buy some cloths that were not so outstanding, but just thick and wear-resistant.

Li wanted to buy some of the popular fine floral fabrics, but Li Laoda glared at her and said, "In our village, this kind of thick material is the best."

"Those beautiful floral fabrics can't be worn for work or cooking. If you hit them hard after washing them, they will fall apart. Are you going to take them home and worship them?"

"We are farmers, unlike you who run a food store in the county. Listen to your eldest brother and buy this kind of thick cotton cloth."

Seeing that Li was still somewhat reluctant, he directly displayed his authority as the boss and pulled Li away.

Li then had no choice but to buy some of the materials chosen by Boss Li.

Two days passed like this.

Shen Yu made different kinds of nourishing soups and rice for Doctor Sun every day, and also learned a lot of knowledge about medicinal food and nourishing food from Doctor Sun.

Boss Li and Yuan Qing followed everyone to eat and drink in the restaurant every day.

Li asked Jiang and Zheng Sanniang to cook the dishes they had learned every day, as long as they could be made in that season, for Li Lao Da and his son in turn, so that they could have a taste of something new.

This made Boss Li laugh every day and he said that the Li family had finally come to the end of all the hardships and was living a life like a god.

Yuan Qing also touched his stomach and complained that he felt he had gained weight after only two days of eating.

On the 19th, the academy began its annual holiday.

After Yucheng and Dundun had breakfast, Li asked Xiaobai to pull the small cart and took Li Lao Da and Yuan Qing to stroll around the county town.

Shen Yu was doing something with his hands, but he was getting a little anxious waiting.

She knew that the bailiffs rode horses to investigate cases, which was much faster than taking a carriage. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be back today.

Sure enough, when the market was closing that day and everyone was busy, Qixi came hurriedly.

Shen Yu took him to the kitchen in the backyard.

Qi Xi walked into the room and saw Doctor Sun and said with a smile: "Doctor Sun, the young master asked me to tell you that there is some progress in your case."

"The prisoner has been brought in. He will be tried in court tomorrow. You should also prepare yourself and dress warmly when you go to the county government office tomorrow."

After two days of rest, Doctor Sun is in much better spirits and seems to have more strength.

After hearing Qi Xi's words, he stood up suddenly and looked at Qi Xi with expectation.

Qixi deliberately kept the secret, holding the bowl of sweet soy milk brought in by Shen Yu in both hands and drinking it mouthful by mouthful, and kept saying: "Oh, it's so sweet."

"During this hot winter, drinking a bowl of hot soy milk is the most comfortable thing."

Shen Yu knew the result would not be bad when he saw Qi Xi's expression.

Seeing him shaking his head and drinking slowly, I knew he was being naughty and teasing Doctor Sun.

He patted him lightly and said, "Hurry up and tell me. Don't keep me in suspense. Doctor Sun is old and can't stand your teasing."

Qi Xi chuckled, drank the soy milk in the bowl in one gulp, and then said with a smile: "I heard from Master Liu that when the family saw the yamen runners coming over, their faces turned red, and they looked like they were guilty of a crime."

"Sure enough, when the yamen runner asked, the deceased's wife fainted out of fright."

"When I checked with the neighbors, they all said that this person had a heart disease and would not do any heavy work at home."

"Early in the morning on the day the deceased passed away, I heard a commotion in the house and the sound of things being smashed."

"It sounded like the deceased's eldest brother was arguing with the deceased, and there was also the sound of a woman crying."

"But when the runners went back to ask the family, the deceased's wife just kept crying and refused to say anything."

"The deceased's elder brother was still stubborn and refused to admit that his younger brother had a heart disease or that they had ever had an argument."

"They just insisted that it was Dr. Sun's medicine that killed the person and it had nothing to do with their family members."

"The yamen runners saw that the man was stubborn, so they recorded the statements of the neighbors and brought back the deceased's wife and his elder brother."

"It's because of these two that I came back a little late, otherwise I would have come back yesterday."

Shen Yu was listening nearby, and something in his mind moved him, so he asked, "Isn't the deceased's wife pretty?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Xi and Doctor Sun turned to look at Shen Yu.

Qi Xi asked curiously, "Hey, young lady, how do you know? Have you seen her? You are not from the same village."

"I heard from Master Liu that the lady is quite pretty."

Shen Yu smiled and kept silent, but thought in his heart: "From this point of view, is it really the same as I thought?"

Doctor Sun has been practicing medicine for many years. Although he has a good temper, he sees many patients and has seen many different kinds of things.

I was originally trapped in a situation and just kept feeling that I was wronged. I honestly thought about whether I had diagnosed the wrong disease and prescribed the wrong medicine.

After hearing Qi Xi's words and then being pointed out by Shen Yu, he suddenly seemed to understand a little bit.

He figured it out, and suddenly opened his mouth in surprise, and stopped talking in a daze.

Qixi couldn't figure out what was going on.

Looking at the two people who stopped talking, I was about to ask again.

However, Shen Yu felt that it would be better not to reveal such things himself, and it would be better to let Master Liu and others reveal the answer.

I smiled and pretended to be confused and said, "I'm just curious, just asking casually."

"I don't even know the lady's name. We're not from the same village, so how could I have seen her before?"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Thank you for coming to inform us today."

Qi Xi said hurriedly: "Miss, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

Shen Yu said, "Tomorrow is the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month. Are you and your young master going back to Beijing?"

Qi Xi shook his head: "The young master said that the trial will be held tomorrow, and he wants to watch the trial and get the result before leaving."

"We're just waiting for the New Year when we go back, so we just need to walk faster."

Shen Yu asked, "Have you prepared food for the journey?"

Qixi replied, "We'll be staying at an inn on the way, so don't worry about food. Just prepare some snacks. I'll buy some tomorrow."

Shen Yu turned around and took out a large food box that he had prepared and said, "If it's just snacks, you don't have to buy them."

"I thought you were leaving tomorrow, so I wanted to send it to you in the evening."

"Here are some cakes and pastries that I hurriedly made today. There are four kinds of cakes: red bean paste cakes, jujube paste cakes, chestnut cakes, and egg yolk cakes."

"I also made a can of osmanthus sesame noodle tea, which can be drunk by just mixing it with boiling water."

"They are all durable and won't go bad."
