On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1952 Goodbye Su Zhenhai

The woman returned to the shore along the same route, but the contents of the bucket in her hand were gone.

She carried the empty bucket and lantern and walked away slowly.

Yan Ruyu whispered, "Could it be that there's something living under the lake? Something that needs her to feed it?"

Huo Changhe shook his head: "What is so mysterious?"

"We can't go now," Yan Ruyu looked towards the center of the lake, "We can't alert the enemy, let's go back first."

The two returned to the yard and discussed what they had just seen.

Yan Ruyu picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.

"First, the identity of the woman, second, what she was carrying, and third, what was in the lake."

"However, we are here to see Su Zhenhai and his son. I wonder if this matter is related."

Yan Ruyu didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs. In a family as secluded as this, everyone had a few secrets that they didn't want to share with outsiders.

"We'll see what happens tomorrow," Huo Changhe sneered, "I don't believe they can leave us alone for another day."

"Okay," Yan Ruyu simply stopped thinking about it. Random thoughts would not help at all.

I will see Su Shengsheng tomorrow and ask him about it, and maybe I will get some clues. It would be even better if I could meet Su Zhenhai and his son. Once I am sure that they have nothing to do with this matter, I won’t ask any more questions.

The next day, they were really left out for the whole day.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe did not leave the hospital either, but stayed in the yard. It was a rare opportunity for them to have such a rest.

Now it’s an invisible tug-of-war to see who surrenders first.

Su Shengsheng didn't show up until the evening.

Admit your mistakes as soon as you meet.

"I'm so sorry, you two. I'm going out all day and won't be back until the evening."

"Are you used to living in the mansion? Have the servants been neglecting you?"

"No, Miss Su, you're too polite. We're living quite well here," Yan Ruyu smiled faintly, "It's a good opportunity to take a break."

Su Shengsheng thought to himself that these two people were quite patient.

"That's good. I'll take you to see my father now. He needs to approve the matter of treating my eldest brother."

"Okay, it's all up to you."

Su Shengsheng took them to Su Zhenhai's study.

In the study, it was so quiet that one could hear the subtle crackling sound of burning sandalwood.

Su Zhenhai sat upright on the armchair, tapping the armrest occasionally with his hands, his eyelids slightly drooping.

Last time in the teahouse, I secretly saw Su Zhenhai going to resolve the conflict, but I didn’t see him closely. I just knew that he was a burly man.

This time, looking at him up close, he has bronze skin, thick eyebrows, slightly round eyes, deep double eyelids, and knife-like wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. He looks older than his actual age.

Yan Ruyu was calm and composed: "...As for your son's illness, we two are not very talented, but we do have some unique insights into medicine. Perhaps we can give it a try and help Envoy Su Cheng with his worries."

Su Shengsheng stood beside his father, with just the right amount of anticipation and anxiety on his face. Upon hearing this, he immediately agreed: "Yes, Dad, let's try again..."

Su Zhenhai finally raised his eyelids, his sharp gaze fell on Yan Ruyu without any ripples, and he looked at her cautiously.

"Excellent medical skills?" He spoke in a slow, deep voice, with the indifference of someone who has been in a high position for a long time. "Shengsheng is young, has little experience, and is easily deceived by appearances.

"My Su family has invited countless famous doctors, but none of them can help. You two are young, but you are so arrogant."

There was no room for compromise in his tone. "Don't worry about my son's illness. I know what to do."

Direct, straightforward, and not even bothering to hide the suspicion and contempt that keeps people at a distance.

The smile on Yan Ruyu's face faded a little, and Huo Changhe's brows furrowed slightly.

Su Shengsheng tugged at Su Zhenhai's sleeve, pleading in his voice: "Dad! Please let them have a look! What if, what if they have a solution? Brother..."

"That's enough." Su Zhenhai decisively brushed her hand away, his tone heavier and with unquestionable authority, "This matter has been decided. No need to say more."

Su Shengsheng's eyes turned red after being scolded. He shut up angrily and looked at Yan Huo and the others as if asking for help, his eyes full of helplessness and apology.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe exchanged a glance. Huo Changhe shook his head imperceptibly.

Yan Ruyu no longer insisted, and a faint smile appeared on her lips again: "In that case, we are sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye."

Su Zhenhai snorted lightly as a response. The two people in front of him were insignificant.

Su Shengsheng quickly said, "I'll see Miss Yan and Mr. Huo off."

Yan Ruyu nodded and turned around with Huo Changhe.

Su Shengsheng quickly apologized: "Don't mind me, you two. My father was heartbroken by disappointment and no longer dared to have any hope. So, you two should go back to the yard and rest. I will talk to him in detail."

Su Shengsheng turned around and went back to the study.

Huo Changhe said in a low voice: "Su Zhenhai's refusal was too deliberate, and Su Shengsheng's plea was superficial."

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment: "Then let's go back and take a look."

"Now?"

"Now is the perfect time to hear the real story behind the scenes."

The night is deep, the cold moon hangs alone, and the stars are dim.

Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu quietly passed over the roofs, avoiding the occasional night watchmen who passed by, and sneaked towards the study.

The window frames of the study were covered with thick silk gauze, and one could only vaguely see two figures standing opposite each other inside.

But they would never mistake that voice——

It’s Su Shengsheng.

"Dad, don't worry, I've sent someone to investigate and we'll have news soon."

In the shadow outside the window, Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe blended into the darkness, holding their breath.

"Your eldest brother's health...I'm afraid he won't last much longer. It's not good for outsiders to see him in this state."

"Dad, I still want to give it a try. I think these two people are unusual."

"What do you mean?" There was a hint of hope in Su Zhenhai's tone.

After all, he was his beloved eldest son and he had high hopes for him. He had to give it a try as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

Su Shengsheng whispered, "What they have in their hands is very strange."

"There's also a kind of fruit tea that they say is homemade. After I drank it, I felt really refreshed."

As Su Shengsheng spoke, he took out a bag and put it on the table.

"Dad, you try it too."

When Su Zhenhai heard his daughter's words, that little bit of hope faded away again.

What's the reason?

However, when he met his daughter's bright eyes, he thought that maybe it was worth a try.

"Okay, I'll drink."

Su Zhenhai was silent for a moment, then said, "But your elder brother's condition is now under the care of Miss Li. If..."

Su Shengsheng pursed his lips, his tone showing some hard-to-disguise disapproval.

"Dad, I've long disagreed with handing my brother over to her. What's her plan? Even if it really works, my brother..."

She didn't say anything else, and seemed a little reluctant.

"I don't want to either," Su Zhenhai said in a painful tone, "but what can I do? Your eldest brother likes her."

"Besides, she is pregnant with a baby boy. This is your eldest brother and the only bloodline of our Su family."

Su Shengsheng frowned.
