The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1501 - 1585: Flames of War Ignite Everywhere

By the time the cloud and rain ceased, Dong Huiying was already drenched in sweat.

Shujun kissed the cheek of the mistress of his household and then climbed off with a cheerful smile, "I’ll go get someone to heat some water. You stay put and don’t leave the bed just yet."

He quickly slipped into his clothes and pants, draped a red shirt over his shoulders, and called for the servants.

He originally intended to instruct the servants to bring in a tub of hot water, but unexpectedly... "Third Master, Second Master had already ordered us last night to prepare some hot water for you. The wooden tub is ready. Do you need it now or later?"

Shujun awkwardly touched his nose, "Now, bring it into the room first."

"Understood, Third Master!"

The servants began their work, and Shujun turned his gaze towards the room of his second brother Shu Yu, suddenly losing his temper.

Snatching food can be understood; after all, there are many monks but little meat to go around!

Hmm, this morning’s meat was indeed delicious, incredibly delicious!!

Dong Huiying, dazed, soaked in a hot bath, and after cleaning herself thoroughly, she dizzily crawled back into bed.

She didn’t even have the time to say a few words before she fell into a deep sleep.

Fortunately, although the mistress was made to sleep in by the third brother, Shu Yu still remembered last night’s events, so he called Shujun over to discuss the calculations and speculations made with the mistress.

Shujun’s eyes flickered, "If that’s really the case, there’s no need for us to rush back to the capital!"

Originally, when they were in the neighboring city, the two of them decided to accompany the mistress to Nanling because the shopkeeper of the branch had once taken care of the mistress, and also due to the Zhu De incident. Once these matters were resolved, the three of them were ready to return home. But now...

If the mistress’s and second brother’s speculations are true, then there’s no hurry. No need to return; better focus on finding the Empress first!

The Empress should currently be in a coma. As long as the Empress can wake up, everything will be easily resolved. That includes the Eighth Princess, who has been causing trouble for many years, and Xiao Qinghe, who once abducted the mistress; they will all meet their downfall!

"Hehehe~~~" Shujun laughed mischievously.

The substore owner of the Huizi Store’s Nanling branch is surnamed Liu, but due to certain matters, he was out of town, leaving many affairs of the Huizi Store in the hands of another deputy branch manager.

This person’s surname is Chen, a young woman.

"Subordinate greets the Third Master!"

Shujun might be somewhat childish in private, occasionally showing a childlike nature, but outwardly, he presented an unfathomable demeanor that was hard for others to gauge.

He and his second brother had discussed and came up with a series of specific plans, and now he proceeded to lay out each of his intentions clearly.

Deputy Branch Manager Chen was slightly surprised, "Third Master, what is this?"

Are we really investigating the Lian family and Zhu family?

Deputy Branch Manager Chen was aware of the Zhu De incident beforehand, but with the Zhu family backing Zhu De, and a Concubine as their supporter, rashly investigating or taking action against the Zhu family might bring trouble?

"Just follow the master’s instructions. Even if something goes wrong, there will be someone higher up to bear the brunt."

Deputy Branch Manager Chen dared not say more, immediately withdrew, and followed Shujun’s plans, gathering a team of personnel.

After that, Nanling City was engulfed in turmoil!!

In an unremarkable residence in the city, an old man walked into the yard carrying a packet of pastries.

"Big Sister, you’re back?"

"Yes, these pastries are sweet. I’m getting old, and I’ve taken a liking to them, though my teeth are not in the best shape anymore."
