The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer

Chapter 1996 - 170: Sorrow

In the end, Dong Huiying walked out of the room.

It was like she was a thief, tiptoeing as if she worried that even a slightly heavier footstep would wake the two sleeping children...

Yixuan stood alone in the inn’s backyard until he saw his wife come out and seemed to come to his senses.

The two exchanged a glance, Dong Huiying said nothing, asked nothing, just quietly stepped forward and gently held Yixuan’s hand.

Then.

Another exchange of glances.

They both took a breath and jumped, using Qinggong as they did when they arrived, flying out of the inn.

That night, after returning to the courtyard where they lived, Yixuan stayed up all night.

He climbed onto the roof, sitting on the tiles, holding a jug of wine, gazing up at the pale moonlight.

There was no expression on his face, no joy or sorrow visible. Yet it made people feel the melancholy that enveloped him.

He had a great capacity for alcohol. Unknowingly, he had become someone who wouldn’t get drunk after countless drinks.

In private moments, Dong Huiying even teased Yixuan, saying that Yixuan became resistant because he drank too much in the past, hence making it hard for him to get drunk now.

But sometimes, being able to have a good drunk is a good thing.

However, for someone like Yixuan, who can’t get drunk even after countless drinks, it becomes an annoyance, leaving one troubled, saddened.

...

The next morning.

Sparrows chirped noisily on branches, and sunlight poured from the clouds.

Yixuan came down from the roof, fetched a basin of water.

Cold water splashed on his face, making him seem somewhat clear-headed.

He picked up a towel to wipe the droplets from his face.

At this moment, someone came from outside the courtyard.

"Young Master Xuan!"

The person outside was Qin Chun.

Yixuan looked up and hurriedly stepped forward. "Is something wrong with grandmother?"

His concern was written on his face. Qin Chun quickly said, "Master, don’t worry. The old lady is fine, just asked me to bring a message: you need not worry about her feelings."

After saying this, Qin Chun sighed.

"The old lady is a wise person. She knew long ago that this day would come. Previously reluctant to act, but if truly forced, there’s no room for reluctance anymore."

This was Qin Chun’s own understanding.

She comforted Yixuan: "Don’t think too much, just as the old lady told you, do what you want, without worries, go ahead and do it."

...

Yixuan sent Qin Chun away.

Thinking a little, he then understood the meaning behind the old lady sending Qin Chun to deliver the message.

The old lady surely worried that he might overthink, so she sent Qin Chun over once more, wanting him to know that no matter what he does, she would support his choices, decisions, and actions.

Yixuan sighed, his mood akin to frustration.

The old lady is indeed a very good person, he sighed for her.

Similar to a feeling of meeting the wrong people.

To put it simply, it’s that the people within the Qin family are too troublesome.

And to further simplify, it’s the Second Elder, Third Elder, and others being too discontent, not knowing how to cherish blessings.

A small head popped out from the kitchen, Dong Huiying holding a spatula.

"Did Qin Chun leave?"

Yixuan was slightly startled, then quickly walked toward Dong Huiying.

It was still early.

"Did the wife stay up all night?"

Dong Huiying looked embarrassed, scratched her neck, and said, "Last night, I saw you seemed to want some alone time."
