Two days later, Leng Ruo Li returned to her An Ji Tang. As soon as she stepped into the courtyard, she saw Shui Yi He, Tao Xiang Qing, Bai Yu Xuan, and the three brothers Yan Shan, Yu Shan, and Shi Shan standing at the entrance of her clinic hall.
"What's wrong with you all? Why aren't you staying in your rooms?" Leng Ruo Li asked caringly.
"Consort, you're here! We were waiting for you," Shui Yi He said as soon as he saw Leng Ruo Li approaching them.
"Are you all tired of staying in the clinic and want to leave?" Leng Ruo Li guessed their thoughts without needing to ask.
As soon as Leng Ruo Li finished speaking, Shui Yi He and the others nodded eagerly, then shook their heads.
"Consort, it's not entirely because of that. My family sent a letter urging me to return home," Shui Yi He said with a slight smile.
"Oh, I see. What about the others?" Leng Ruo Li then looked at Tao Xiang Qing and Bai Yu Xuan.
"Consort, Shui Gong Zi and I are both from Dong Hai, which is not far. Now that my father's name has been cleared, I wish to travel with Shui Gong Zi's carriage back to Dong Hai to pay respects to my parents and share the joyous news of my father's vindication," Tao Xiang Qing said, her mood a little heavy.
"Alright, but after you return, try to abstain from spicy foods for a while and make sure to get plenty of rest," Leng Ruo Li patiently advised them.
"Yes, Consort, we will take care," Shui Yi He and Tao Xiang Qing nodded seriously.
Afterward, Leng Ruo Li took out two precious pills from her sleeve for each of them, packed them in small boxes, and handed them to Shui Yi He and Tao Xiang Qing.
"We have met, and I, Leng Ruo Li, have nothing else to give you. These pills in the small boxes might save your lives if you encounter danger. I have written down their uses, so please keep them with you." Leng Ruo Li also reminded them kindly.
Tao Xiang Qing was so touched by Leng Ruo Li's words that she burst into tears.
"Leng Wang Fei, you and His Highness Leng Wang first helped me vindicate my father, then you helped me escape the entanglement of that child, and now you've given me these precious pills. I truly don't know how I can ever repay you."
"These are small matters, and you don't need to repay me. Remember, you must live well after you return home."
"Mm-hmm, Consort, please don't worry. I will definitely live well," Tao Xiang Qing nodded firmly.
Then, Shui Yi He also said to Leng Ruo Li, "Consort, please rest assured. My home and Tao Guniang's are not far apart. After returning to Dong Hai, I will arrange for people to check on Tao Guniang often. However, Consort, if you ever visit Dong Hai in the future, please use the jade pendant I gave you and come find me, Shui Yi He. I will definitely show you around all of Dong Hai."
"Deal! I will definitely look for you when I go to Dong Hai," Leng Ruo Li said with a chuckle.
Leng Ruo Li had originally wanted to tell him that she would be going to Dong Hai soon, but her travel plans to Dong Hai could not be revealed at the moment. Otherwise, they might encounter many troubles on their way to Dong Hai.
"Alright, then Tao Guniang and I will take our leave," Shui Yi He said.
"Mm, travel safely. I wish you a smooth journey!"
Shui Yi He and Tao Xiang Qing nodded and left the An Ji Tang clinic.
Subsequently, Leng Ruo Li looked at Bai Yu Xuan and asked, "Jun Zhu, do you also want to leave?"
"Yes, Er Huang Sao," Bai Yu Xuan nodded slightly.
"Your body has recovered quite well. I'm not sure if your parents will let you leave!"
"Er Huang Sao, my parents haven't come to the clinic to accompany me for two days. I don't know if they've forgotten me in An Ji Tang," Bai Yu Xuan said with a hint of gloom.
Leng Ruo Li was slightly taken aback and turned to look at the Chu siblings. "Jing Yuan Hou and his wife, what's going on with them? Did you send someone to inquire at the Jing Yuan Hou's manor?"
"Uh..."
"Consort, we sent someone to inquire, but... but... but... Consort, let's talk over there." Chu Miao Ling stammered, spoke half a sentence mysteriously, and then pulled Leng Ruo Li aside.
"Miao Ling, what happened with Jing Yuan Hou and his wife when they returned to the manor?" Leng Ruo Li asked with interest after being pulled to a corner by Chu Miao Ling.
"Consort, that night after Jing Yuan Hou finished his deer meat feast at our clinic, he asked us to take care of the Jun Zhu for a while and then, pulling his blushing wife, they got into a carriage and went back to the manor. However, the next day, Jing Yuan Hou's wife did not come to An Ji Tang to look after the Jun Zhu. So, we sent He Zi Yi to the Jing Yuan Hou's manor to ask."
"As a result, the servants at Jing Yuan Hou's manor told He Zi Yi that after Jing Yuan Hou pulled his wife back to the manor that night... they remained shut in their room... even their food and drinks were sent to the room by the servants." As Chu Miao Ling spoke, her delicate, small face suddenly turned red.
Leng Ruo Li guessed what Jing Yuan Hou and his wife were doing in the room without Chu Miao Ling needing to explain further. The couple must have been passionately entangled in their room.
"Alas, let's give Jing Yuan Hou and his wife a chance to be loving. Let the Jun Zhu stay in the clinic for a few more days," Leng Ruo Li said, raising her eyebrows.
"Alright! We will take good care of the Jun Zhu!" Thus, Leng Ruo Li and Chu Miao Ling reached a tacit understanding to keep Bai Yu Xuan in the clinic.
"Jun Zhu, Miao Ling and I just discussed your physical condition. Although your body is gradually improving, you are still not fully recovered. I think you should stay in the clinic for a few more days."
"That's fine. But, Er Biao Sao, the night before last, after my father finished eating, he rushed to drag my mother away. I'm a little worried my father might hit my mother."
"This... you can rest assured. Your parents' relationship is very good now. You just haven't noticed it. Perhaps in a while, your mother will give you a younger brother or sister," Leng Ruo Li teased.
"Really? Although I have a half-brother in my household, I've always hoped my mother would give me a biological younger brother or sister," Bai Yu Xuan said with a laugh.
"Then are you still leaving?" Leng Ruo Li teased her again.
"No, I'm not going back. Actually, it's quite fun staying in the clinic with so many people keeping me company." Saying this, she happily trotted back to her ward to rest.
At this moment, Leng Ruo Li looked at Yan Shan again and asked, "Yan Shan, can you put weight on your leg now?"
"Thank you for saving me, Wang Fei. I can slowly walk with support now, so I'd like to go home," Yan Shan said, full of gratitude.
"Mm, but if you go home, try not to do heavy work and use this leg less. It will take about two to three more months for it to fully recover," Leng Ruo Li earnestly advised him.
"Yes, thank you, Wang Fei. Please rest assured, Wang Fei, we won't let Yan Shan work. If Yan Shan doesn't listen, we will scold him," Yu Shan and Shi Shan, beside Yan Shan, quickly chimed in to guarantee.
"Good, I believe you two elder brothers will take care of your younger brother."
Afterward, Leng Ruo Li chatted with the three Yan Shan brothers for a few more words. Yu Shan and Shi Shan then helped Yan Shan onto the carriage she had arranged and went home.
After these people left, her An Ji Tang instantly became quiet. Leng Ruo Li continued her house calls as usual.
