Chapter 620 How good will you be to me?
Zhen Huan suddenly widened her eyes filled with astonishment and shouted in a low voice.
"Brother Shichu, no!"
"Huan'er knows you're a good person, but Yurao...she accidentally angered the Emperor and spent the night in the Ministry of Punishment. If you marry her, you'll never be able to make any further progress in your life."
"I remember you once said that you wanted to make the Wen family's medical skills famous throughout the world, but isn't this action of yours going against your original intention?"
"Brother Shichu, my uncle and aunt treat me like their own daughter. How can Huan'er bear to see them sad because of this?"
"What you just said entered my ears and then drifted away with the wind."
Just as Wen Shichu was about to say something, Cui Jinxi's voice came in.
"Master, Doctor Xu is here to answer your questions."
"Jinxi, please invite someone in."
Zhen Huan quickly shook her head at Wen Shichu, signaling him not to continue the previous topic.
Wen Shichu brought with her a female doctor who had just entered the palace. Her voice was trembling when she paid her respects to Zhen Huan.
"Your Highness, I have examined the Second Young Miss thoroughly. However, this condition inevitably involves privacy, so I would like to ask Imperial Physician Wen to step aside."
Zhen Huan glanced at Wen Shichu, and he understood and hurriedly retreated.
"Doctor Xu, how is my sister's health? Please tell me the truth."
"Yes, Madam. The Second Young Lady's body is covered with tiny red spots and large areas of swelling. I suspect they were caused by embroidery needles, and the injuries to her private parts are particularly severe. Her toenails were penetrated by thin, sharp objects, and the nails have been separated from the connected flesh. This is the case with all ten toes..."
At this point, Doctor Xu almost burst into tears.
Zhen Huan even tilted her head back, trying hard not to let her tears fall.
Her poor Yu Rao suffered such inhuman torture!
The emperor has such a cruel heart!
Zhen Huan bit her lips tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.
Cui Jinxi took a breath and waved at Doctor Xu, then pointed outside the bedroom.
When she went out, she closed the door behind her.
Wen Shichu, who was waiting outside, saw the red eyes of Doctor Xu and guessed something in his mind.
He stepped forward anxiously to ask.
"Aunt Cui..."
Cui Jinxi interrupted him, "Doctor Wen, the queen is in great pain, please leave her alone for a while."
Only in this way will Zhen Huan's hatred for the emperor ferment rapidly until it is out of control.
However, Cui Jinxi still hasn't figured out how Zhen Yurao, with such an advantageous face, was disliked by the emperor and even sent to the Ministry of Punishment.
A moment later, Mrs. Zhen came out after coaxing her little daughter to sleep. Cui Jinxi used the same excuse to stop her from visiting the palace.
Wen Shichu asked Doctor Xu to go back to the Imperial Hospital first, saying that he still needed to take the Empress's pulse.
He waited anxiously in the main hall for about a quarter of an hour, but there was still no sound from the bedroom.
The anxious Wen Shichu struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and knelt down in front of Mrs. Zhen with a plop.
"Aunt, Shichu knows that this action is like taking advantage of someone's misfortune. But I have seen everything that sister Yurao has suffered, and it hurts my heart."
"Shichu watched Yurao grow up and always regarded her as his younger sister."
"Yu Rao has always been well-behaved and sensible. This time, she must have encountered great trouble."
"Shichu couldn't bear to see his beloved sister suffer, so he boldly asked his aunt to let him marry her, considering the long-standing friendship between the Wen and Zhen families."
Mrs. Zhen was so shocked by Wen Shichu's series of words that she didn't know how to respond.
The two elders of the Wen family are kind and amiable, and the only son, Wen Shichu, is ambitious.
He is indeed a good candidate for son-in-law, but Mrs. Zhen knows that the person in his heart is his eldest daughter.
This child is stubborn. Even if his eldest daughter finds a home, he will wait for her for ten years.
When the family of three returned from Ningguta, the Wen family was the first to visit them.
Her good friend complained to her countless times that her son was obsessed with medicine and had never thought about getting married.
Mrs. Zhen would feel uncomfortable every time she heard her friend sigh.
"Shichu has come to ask for marriage, please accept my aunt's request!"
Wen Shichu kowtowed several times to show his sincerity.
Mrs. Zhen stood up and tried to pull the man up, but Wen Shichu refused to cooperate and just knelt on the ground without moving.
She looked at the man who continued to kowtow with a complicated expression, "Shichu, your sincerity is understood by your aunt. It is a blessing for Yurao to have someone as kind as you remember her."
"But this matter still depends on Yu Rao's own wishes. We can't force her."
Madam Zhen helped Wen Shichu up and bowed deeply to him.
"No matter what, Auntie is grateful to you for protecting Yu Rao."
Wen Shichu turned his body to the side and quickly dodged.
When Madam Zhen stood up, he quickly performed the ceremony as a junior.
"Aunt, you are too kind. I will listen to you. If Yu Rao doesn't want to, I won't force her."
"Okay, okay, auntie was right about you. You have always been a good child."
Mrs. Zhen nodded with satisfaction and smiled for the first time that day.
She didn't care that her little daughter had just fallen asleep, and hurried to the east side hall in the backyard.
Wen Shichu glanced at the still closed door, smiled bitterly, and sat back on the stool.
He finally helped Huan'er before anyone else.
His mother had already compromised in the face of his repeated silence.
She once said that even if he brought back a widow, she would still accept him as her daughter-in-law.
Yu Rao was raised by her mother, so she should be more easily accepted.
Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, a series of "dengdengdeng" footsteps came from afar.
Wen Shichu's mouth corners rose slightly, it's done!
Zhen Yurao, with cold sweat on his forehead, stopped two or three meters away from him, staring at him closely with his black and white eyes.
Wen Shichu knew that the little girl came to see him, and instantly revealed a warm smile.
"Hello, Miss Zhen, I am..."
Zhen Yurao raised her hand to stop him and looked at him stubbornly.
"Mother said you would be good to me. How good will you be to me?"
Wen Shichu put away his smile, slowly stood up, walked to her, and could touch Zhen Yurao with just a raised hand.
He looked into the other person's eyes seriously.
"Yu Rao, I will protect you for the rest of my life and treat your loved ones like my own family."
Zhen Yurao's eyes turned, and there seemed to be a flash of light.
She forced a smile.
"Okay, I agree."
"It's just that my parents are leaving the capital the day after tomorrow, so I'm sorry to bother you..."
Her voice was filled with shyness and uneasiness.
Wen Shichu responded tactfully.
"Don't worry, I'll go back to the Imperial Hospital to ask for leave and go back to prepare for the engagement."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Shichu. Yurao will be waiting for you at home tomorrow."
Zhen Yurao personally sent Wen Shichu to the palace gate, and only after his persuasion did she stop walking out.
When Zhen Huan learned from her sister that she and Wen Shichu had finalized their marriage in just a few words, she could only congratulate her with a smile.
"Doctor Wen is a man of noble character and is indeed a good choice for a brother-in-law."
Seeing her eldest daughter congratulating without reservation, Mrs. Zhen also followed suit.
"Huan'er, Yu Rao's ability to stay in the capital is a relief for your father and me. The Wen family is a harmonious one, and with you supporting her in the palace, her life shouldn't be too bad."
The heavy stone that was weighing on Zhen Huan's heart finally fell, and she promised with a smile.
"Don't worry, mother. Huan'er will definitely take good care of my only sister."
