Chapter 205 The Best Sister-in-law 3
The man widened his eyes in horror. This girl was actually a master. But at this moment he could not resist at all. He could only watch Nan Xi take out a handful of golden needles and then pierce their way into his head.
After a while, the man's head had been pricked like a hedgehog, his face flushed red, and it was unclear whether he was excited or scared.
After Nan Xi inserted the last needle, the man suddenly had a splitting headache. He growled and his whole body felt like he had been fished out of the water, with his clothes soaked.
Nan Xi put away the golden needle, unblocked the man's acupuncture points, and left on her own.
The man sat down slowly and stroked his still steaming head.
"I am Pei Yu..."
He remembered that he was Pei Yu, the commander of the guards under the crown prince, the commander of the Jinwu Guard in the capital, and the second son of the Duke of Anguo.
The reason why he appeared here was because he accompanied the prince to search for the rumored secret medicine on Wuhua Mountain.
However, he encountered two ferocious beasts and accidentally fell into the waterfall under the cliff while trying to protect the prince.
He was washed downstream along the current, and then he fell into a coma. He didn't know why he appeared under this cliff.
"I didn't expect that this small mountain village would have such a powerful martial arts master. Her medical skills are also quite good. It seems that there must be some hidden dragons and crouching tigers here."
Thinking of the Empress Dowager's serious illness, the Prince was so worried that he couldn't sleep, and he came to Wuhua Mountain anxiously to find medicine. Pei Yu's heartbeat quickened.
He must bring the miracle doctor back to treat the Empress Dowager.
Pei Yu looked outside and saw that the girl had disappeared in the village. However, now that he had his memory, it would be easier.
Pei Yu looked at the shabby thatched hut. He had nothing on him and his only purse had been taken away by the girl, so he strode out.
When Cheng Yue returned to the thatched cottage, she could no longer find Pei Yu. She stamped her feet fiercely. What was wrong with this person? Why did he leave without saying goodbye?
She really couldn't understand it, so after venting her anger for a while, she could only go home helplessly.
Cheng Yue thought a lot along the way. She had no contact with outsiders in this small mountain village, and she had no money to go to the county town.
After much thought, she realized that the only person she could climb up to was Shen Han. Thinking of this, she turned a corner and walked towards Shen's house.
When Sanniu was picking grass for pigs, she saw Huzi from the village bullying Shen Han, pushing him into the river, and throwing away his shoes.
Sanniu drove Huzi away, pulled Shen Han out of the river, and jumped into the river to retrieve his shoes. Therefore, Shen Han treated Sanniu very differently.
Shen Han saw Sanniu being bullied by her aunt, so he was always cold to Cheng Nan. If Cheng Nan hadn't often sent him gifts, he would definitely have ignored her.
Hearing that Cheng Yue was coming to see him, Shen Han came out quickly.
"Xiaoyue, do you want to see me for something?"
Cheng Yue snorted coldly, "Did you go to ask Cheng Nan for marriage?"
Shen Han was a little embarrassed and lowered his head again, "Xiao Yue, my mother's medicine cannot be stopped, I...I have no other choice."
Cheng Yue shook Shen Han's arm, "Brother Shen, you are going to take the imperial examination in the future, do you still need this little money? You need to have a long-term vision."
Shen Han raised his head, "But...my mother..."
"Oh, if Cheng Nan can save your mother, others can do the same..."
Shen Han looked at Cheng Yue. What did she mean by this?
Mother Shen was listening in the room and felt a little uncomfortable. She could see what this girl was thinking at a glance, but she was average-looking and her family was poor, so she was not as good as Cheng Nan.
Shen Han continued to explain, "Xiaoyue, I know you hate Cheng Nan, but only Cheng Nan can help me."
Cheng Yue was furious and wanted to make her thoughts clear, but then Shen's mother's voice came out.
"Cough cough..."
"Xiaoyue, go back first. I'll talk to you later."
After Shen Han finished speaking, he hurried back to the house and poured a glass of water for Shen's mother.
Mother Shen looked at her handsome son and sighed.
"Son, it's all my fault that I've dragged you down..."
Shen Han shook his head, and couldn't help but think of Cheng Nan standing in the field that day and being cold to him. He became a little flustered. Would the Cheng family really agree?
When Nan Xi returned home, she was stunned by Qian Xiu Lian's words. The Shen family came to propose marriage?
"Mom, I don't like Shen Han, you can't agree to it."
Qian Xiulian frowned, "My dear, haven't you always liked the boy from the Shen family? In the past..."
She didn't say anything else, because her daughter was grown up and would be shy if she talked too much.
Nan Xi hugged Qian Xiulian's arm and acted coquettishly, "Mom, I don't like him now. Last time I heard him and Sanniu saying bad things about me together. He likes Sanniu."
"Really? Is there such a thing?"
"Really! I saw it with my own eyes."
Of course Qian Xiu Lian would not doubt her daughter, and she immediately became angry.
"The Shen family is really too much. They actually came to deceive me into marriage. I will never forgive Shen Zhang."
Shen's mother's surname is Zhang, and Qian Xiu Lian was referring to Shen's mother.
"Mom, we just need to refuse. It won't be good if we make a big fuss."
Qian Xiulian suppressed her anger and said, "Guaibao is right. He doesn't want fame, but we do."
The next day, the matchmaker came and was beaten away by Qian Xiu Lian with a broom.
"Tell that shameless Shen Zhangshi not to appear in front of me again, or I will scold you every time I see you."
Matchmaker Wang didn't dare to fight back, and was also worried that the Shen family was hiding something, so she could only swallow her anger and leave.
She ran to Shen's house and scolded Shen's mother, and finally left in a rage.
"Don't ask me to be your matchmaker anymore. It's really unlucky."
Shen Han was puzzled and didn't know why Cheng Nan refused, but he still had some shame and didn't insist.
Cheng Yue was very happy now. She must catch Shen Han and marry him as a scholar's wife.
She stole the three taels of silver hidden by Wu Sumei and sent it to the Shen family.
Shen Han was extremely surprised. Although he knew that Cheng Yue and her family had received five taels of silver from the family division, he heard that she had suffered losses in her business some time ago. The three taels she sent at this moment might be the only money in the family.
"Xiaoyue, I can't accept this money."
Cheng Yue stuffed it into Shen Han's pocket and said, "Brother Shen, even if I lent it to you, just return it to me later."
Shen Han clenched the silver tightly, and a warm feeling surged into his heart, making his heart warm.
"Xiaoyue, I will definitely repay you."
Cheng Yue laughed, this was exactly what she wanted to hear.
"Brother Shen, take good care of auntie, I will go home first."
"Ah."
Shen Han watched Cheng Yue walk away and returned to the room after a long time.
?
Pei Yu went to the county government office, found the county magistrate, explained the situation, and then sent a letter to the prince.
After washing and changing his clothes, he inquired about some situations in the city before coming to Chengjia Village again.
This time, he came with a carriage full of gifts.
He had already found out that the girl who saved him was called Cheng Nan, the daughter of Cheng Shouyi. Although he didn't know why she knew martial arts and medical skills, it was not something he needed to explore. He just needed to sincerely invite her to go to Beijing with him.
