Chapter 885: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (7)
The person who came in was none other than Shangguan Ruojin's maid and assistant Luoyue.
Yesterday's patients were divided according to the severity of their injuries.
The shopkeeper's wife was just a little frightened, so she was asked to come back for a follow-up visit.
But I registered yesterday, and Luoyue came to pay a return visit today.
As soon as Luoyue entered, the shopkeeper immediately came to greet her: "Miss Luoyue is here! My wife is fine after taking the tranquilizing soup. I'm sorry to bother you with such a journey."
Luo Yue waved her hand nonchalantly, "This was agreed upon yesterday. It's normal for me to return the visit. I took two days' worth of herbal broth yesterday. You can drink it for another day today!"
After saying that, I planned to go to the next one.
But the boss stopped her: "Miss Luoyue, it's so early, I'm afraid you haven't had breakfast yet! Today we have minced meat soup, you like it, would you like to have some before leaving?"
Luoyue wanted to refuse, but before she could open her mouth, she found her stomach rumbling.
It turned out that when I came out in the morning, it was too early and I had no appetite. Now I have visited several restaurants and I feel a little hungry.
Luoyue was a straightforward person, not shy at all: "Okay! Then give me a bowl of soup and a pancake! But I have a deal, you have to take my money, otherwise I can't eat it."
"I know, I know!" The shopkeeper smiled and asked Luoyue to sit down, then went to serve breakfast.
Coincidentally, Luoyue was sitting diagonally opposite the Huo family's sister-in-law.
Because there was no obstruction, Huo Qingyue saw the setting moon almost as soon as she raised her head.
In fact, it was better for her to see it. After all, when Luoyue followed Shangguan Ruojin to leave the capital, Huo Qingyue was only about ten years old.
At that time, Huo Qingyue had not yet fully grown up, so it was normal that Luoyue could not recognize her.
As for the other party, he was young when they parted, and Luo Yue was also different from before, so after the two met, they only felt that each other looked familiar, but did not take it too seriously. After all, there are so many similar people in this world.
But Fang Yunniang recognized Luoyue from behind the hat veil.
Although there was a layer of cloth between them, Fang Yunniang was certain that this woman was Luoyue who was beside Shangguan Ruojin.
With a chill in her heart, she began to look around inconspicuously, because Fang Yunniang knew where Luoyue appeared, and Shangguan Ruojin must be nearby.
After looking for a long time without finding any trace of Shangguan Ruojin, Fang Yunniang still didn't dare to relax.
She had to pretend that she didn't notice Luoyue, and she couldn't let Luoyue discover her.
Over the years, Fang Yunniang has always known that although Huo Qingyang dotes on her on the surface, he has not given her the position of wife or a child so that she can gain a foothold in the Marquis' Mansion.
If it weren't for the pressure from the old lady this time, Huo Qingyang would definitely have a child in the short term, and I'm afraid he wouldn't stop taking the medicine.
She followed Huo Qingyang all the way, using all her strength and staying with him night after night.
Without knowing for sure whether she is pregnant or not, Huo Qingyang must not be allowed to see Shangguan Ruojin.
Humph! All men are like this. When Shangguan Ruojin was deeply in love with Huo Qingyang, that man thought the other party was dispensable.
Later, after Shangguan Ruojin resolutely broke off the engagement with him, Huo Qingyang could pretend not to care at first, but over the past few years, his mentality had obviously changed.
Thinking of this, Fang Yunniang lowered her head and tried to reduce her presence as much as possible.
Although Luoyue felt that the woman wearing a veil was a little strange, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
She had a lot on her plate! How could she possibly care about a woman she had never met?
After finishing breakfast and putting down the silver, Luoyue left the restaurant.
After the others left, Fang Yunniang started chatting with the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, that woman looked like a doctor. Is she very skilled? It seems like she can see patients on her own now."
"Yes! Miss Luoyue is a famous female doctor in Youcheng. Of course, there are better ones." The shopkeeper was quite proud. No matter what, the excellent medical skills of the doctors in Youcheng were something worth boasting about.
Without waiting for Fang Yunniang to reply, Huo Qingyue spoke first: "How amazing! I didn't expect there are female doctors in Youcheng! There are only female doctors in the capital."
"People can't be compared. Doctor Shangguan's mother's family is a family of famous doctors, and her elders are very open-minded, so she can become a doctor." The shopkeeper added, "Many people in the Shangguan family have shed their blood on this land.
Even Doctor Shangguan is a military doctor herself. When there is a war, she also has to go to the battlefield, so we all respect her very much."
"You should respect him!" Fang Yunniang agreed on the surface, but she was very resentful in her heart. Why didn't Shangguan Ruojin die at the hands of the enemy?
Perhaps if Shangguan Ruojin stood in front of Huo Qingyue, she might not recognize him, but when the shopkeeper said the familiar name over and over again, she knew who he was talking about.
But because of Fang Yunniang beside her, she didn't ask more questions at this time.
After leaving the food shop, when they were riding in a car with Fang Yunniang to the Youcheng Jewelry Shop, she suddenly asked, "Sister-in-law, is it possible that the Doctor Shangguan the shopkeeper just mentioned is..."
"What's possible?" Fang Yunniang immediately interrupted Huo Qingyue and said, "We can just talk about this between the two of us. Don't bring it up in front of your brother. He hasn't wanted to hear that person's name for years. You know that!"
Thinking of how her brother would get drunk whenever he mentioned the Shangguan family, Huo Qingyue nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I understand. I won't tell my brother about what happened today."
Fang Yunniang, who was relieved, used her own private money to buy Huo Qingyue a nice piece of jewelry so that she wouldn't have to do too much.
On the other side, Huo Qingyang had already entered the military camp with his follower Huo Xu.
The gifts for the troops were handed over to the person in charge of this matter.
At this time, Huo Qingyang had finished reading the imperial edict of consolation and was drinking tea in the tent with the border army commander Shangguan Xiong.
Contrary to rumors, Shangguan Xiong does not look ferocious. On the contrary, one can tell from his eyes and eyebrows that he was a very handsome man when he was young.
But now that he is old, there are more wrinkles on his face, and coupled with the years of fighting in the past, Shangguan Xiong's face inevitably has some scars.
"I remember that the Yongning Marquis in the capital was not even thirty years old! How come he's already growing a beard?" Shangguan Xiong saw through his disguise the moment he arrived. "Where did you find these clothes? Or are they your father's clothes? Did he find them for you?"
"General Shangguan, please be careful with your words. My father has passed away." When it came to the beard, Huo Qingyang could still hold back, but if he didn't reply, he was afraid that it would affect his father's reputation. He could only speak up to stop the other party from speaking any further.
