Seeing that the blood on Seventh Master, which previously seed unstoppable, had ceased and the pain on his face had eased considerably.
Eighth Master slightly relaxed his heart.
For this rural area, it was rare for a doctor to have such skills. As for the thing in the head, ordinary doctors really couldn’t deal with it, only waiting to return to the Capital City to think of other ways.
Eighth Master’s look eased a bit, sheathed his sword, and impatiently waved at Su Pan’er.
"Go! Also, make more food, my brothers haven’t eaten yet!"
Su Pan’er, as if pardoned, quickly nodded in agreent and left.
Qin Yi and Ke’er were still hiding in the inner room, frequently looking outside. Seeing Su Pan’er co in, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fourth Sister!"
Ke’er whispered.
"Fourth Sister is here."
Su Pan’er said softly, sat next to the bed and patted his head, a look of emotion: "Our Ke’er is really brave!"
Indeed brave, not crying or making a fuss when encountering such a thing, for a child who just turned seven, it’s really rare!
This imdiately amused Ke’er!
"Fourth sister, you’re so bad! By the way, fourth sister, how about that child...?"
"They’ve left."
Su Pan’er frowned, she didn’t actually know where Ye Han had taken Fei’er.
With Eighth Master’s order to make food, how could Qin Yi be in the mood? So, the taste of the food he made was really not good.
When the food was served, everyone who originally planned to have a big al was suddenly disappointed!
"You call this food?"
Eighth Master’s frowning brow could squash a fly.
Mixed grain porridge with wild vegetables, the porridge is so thin you can see your reflection. As for the wild vegetables, they were blanched in water and then taken out, without a drop of oil... This is a common al for ordinary rural households. But for these lords used to feasting, it’s like swine food. How can they eat it?
Su Pan’er lowered her head, twisting her hands in a pitiful manner: "Ho only has this much left..."
A subordinate beside rolled his eyes: "The food at Su Family was good yesterday, there was fish, at, and the company of young girls, hehe..."
Eighth Master was slightly stunned.
Then he rembered the task he asked Seventh Brother but couldn’t complete, it was still unfinished.
At this ti, Seventh Master was unconscious, he didn’t have the ability of Seventh Master. Catching Great General Ye was now just a dream!
Only two choices lay before them, wait for reinforcents, or return to the Capital City. But none of the reinforcents who ca this ti survived. Waiting for the transfer is too slow, their chances will turn cold, it’s better to return early to the Capital City to explain the situation and maybe they could ask for the master’s forgiveness.
But before going back to the Capital City, he had to settle that matter!
"Let’s go! To Su Family."
As he thought of this, he was no longer hesitant, directly ordered the people to pick up the litter again, and headed towards the Su Family.
Su Pan’er breathed a sigh of relief.
The group of plague gods finally left!
At this mont at the Su Family, Su Sikong was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
Last night, he was having a pleasant conversation with Eighth Master, but a distress signal abruptly interrupted their talk, causing Eighth Master to suddenly leave with all his n in tow! As of now, they were still nowhere to be seen.
According to his investigations, even the military officers from yesterday had disappeared!
This was too suspicious!
Just as he was at his wit’s end, he spotted Eighth Master and his n from afar.
Overjoyed, he quickly greeted them and upon hearing they had not eaten, he promptly prepared a lavish banquet.
Despite the delicious dishes, Eighth Master still looked as if he was chewing wax.
Seeing this, Su Sikong quickly filled his cup with wine, "Eighth Master, has sothing happened? Why is Seventh Master..."
"Sigh! It’s a long story. However, knowing these matters wouldn’t do you any good, it’s best you mind your own business."
Eighth Master’s face looked unusually grave, which was truly a case of bringing up the wrong issue at the wrong ti.
Su Sikong was always quick-witted. Seeing this, he quickly apologized, "Yes, yes, yes, I spoke out of turn and offended you. I hope you can forgive , Eighth Master."
"It’s fine."
Eighth Master blinked his eyes, changing the subject: "By the way, Seventh Brother discussed sothing with you yesterday, have you made your decision?"
"About what?"
Su Sikong squinted his eyes, unable to recall the matter.
"What!? Do you think marrying into my family is unworthy to your good wife?"
Eighth Master imdiately put down his chopsticks with a cold huff, "Think about it carefully. If you join , you, Lord Su, can have anything you want as you dominate Yongze County. If not... hmpf!"
These words left Su Sikong stunned, his mind spinning wildly.
The other party spoke in the accent of the Capital City, which could not be faked. They could command the people from the prefectural office, so their identity must be of high status!
However, the man was short, had an upturned nose, green bean-like eyes, liver-coloured skin, and thin yellow-plated teeth. This appearance was no more than a dog kept in a rich man’s house—without even an official status, how could he be worthy of his Yue’er?
Yue’er admired handso and chic young n. Forcing her to marry this man would cost lives!
"Hey, look at Eighth Master. Isn’t this a misunderstanding? What’s our relationship anyway, right?"
Anger filled his heart, but he plastered a smile on his face, "No offense to Eighth Master. I, Su Sikong, am already middle-aged and have only one daughter whom I dote on like a precious gem! As she was pampered from childhood, she has developed so stubbornness. I really can’t decide about her marriage!"
While saying this, he silently cursed Eighth Master’s ancestors in his mind!
"I am a noble... Given my status, people would climb over each other to be with ."
Eighth Master squinted his eyes, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, with an air of arrogance. "I heard that your Yue’er is intelligent and beautiful, a true lady. That’s why I gave you so face. You’re just a deputy county magistrate, don’t overstep your boundaries. Do you want to lose your head?"
"Eighth Master, Eighth Master, you’ve misunderstood! I’m as wronged as Dou E!"
Su Sikong repeatedly smiled and bowed, his fat jiggling, "Indeed, my daughter was already engaged to soone, it’s not that I’m looking down on you, Master!"
Eighth Master’s body shook, his imposing aura spreading out.
"Hmpf! I heard from the Commanding Officer that although your daughter was betrothed to an aspiring scholar, their marriage didn’t happen. Instead, your niece took her place. So the marriage contract is void!"
They even knew about this?!
Su Sikong was startled!
On the surface, he kept his smile, "Eighth Master, you’re only half right. Although my niece replaced her in marriage, the engagent tokens exchanged during the contract are still with the two families. And during the Qingming outing, that boy and my Yue’er got entangled again, so..."
