The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1543 - 1629: High-Sounding Pretexts

"Come, Yixuan, try this."

Dong Huiying placed a piece of freshly cooked fish into the oil dish in front of Yixuan. Yixuan smiled as he savored the taste of the fish.

The hostess was fair and not showing favoritism, not only serving him but also Second Brother, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother.

Fourth Brother seemed as usual without any oddities, but Second Brother and Third Brother’s attitudes were rather intriguing.

They seemed quite uncomfortable?

Yixuan blinked lightly.

It’s been years; they were long-time spouses now, not some newly acquainted innocent lovers. Why were Second Brother and Third Brother feeling awkward now?

Isn’t it a bit late for that?

Yixuan pondered, realizing that the issue between Second Brother, Third Brother, and the hostess this time must be significant.

Otherwise, if it were a minor issue, Third Brother, with his shameless nature, would have brushed it off long ago.

Halfway through the meal, Dong Huiying was already full, slumped in her chair with a round belly.

Shu Yu put down her chopsticks, elegantly dabbed her mouth, and then leisurely looked at Yixuan and said, "Come to my room later. I’m quite interested in matters in the Capital."

Shujun’s eyes lit up, "Yes, I chased after Xiao Hui away from the Capital that day. I don’t know how things are now. Come to Second Brother’s room later and tell me!"

Yixuan curved his lips. Such a high-sounding excuse.

He knew that inquiring about matters in the Capital was false; the real purpose was the predicament they were currently facing.

"All right," understanding clearly, having long seen through Second Brother and Third Brother’s pretense and cover-up, but Yixuan didn’t show a hint of it.

Dong Huiying was nodding her head sleepily; she covered her mouth with a yawn, "I can’t take it anymore; I’ve eaten too much. I’m too full and sleepy. I’m going to take a nap."

She stood up shakily and walked groggily inside the house. Haoming was also full; he quickly got up and followed his wife, leaving only Yixuan, Shu Yu, and Shujun at the table.

Yixuan ate with elegance; it was hard to tell if he was doing it on purpose or not. He was already a slow eater, but today he dragged his meal even more.

Shu Yu, with a good temper, wasn’t in the least bit hurried, eating her dessert fruit while waiting for Yixuan.

But Shujun was a bit restless, scratching his head in impatience.

"Little Liu, are you done eating yet!?"

How long are you planning to eat?

Yixuan chuckled lightly, "Traveling and braving the elements, indeed, I was very hungry. Why is Third Brother in such a hurry? I’ve never seen Third Brother urge me at a meal before."

Shujun was suddenly speechless. Could he say that there was a huge rift between him and the hostess? 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

He and Second Brother were worried enough to lose hair over it; Little Liu was their savior. He really wished he could drag Little Liu into his room immediately to get advice from him.

Yixuan also knew when to stop, so he drank his tea and rinsed his mouth, "Let’s go," he stood up and looked at Second Brother and Third Brother, privately finding their demeanor rather amusing, having never seen them so deflated before.

The servants came to clear the tableware, while Yixuan and his two brothers moved to Second Brother’s room.

Once the three of them entered the room, Shujun closed the door, just about to speak but suddenly at a loss as if a cat got his tongue.

Shujun hesitated, unsure of how to begin, but Second Brother Shu Yu was straightforward: "I have a question to ask."

Shu Yu got straight to the point.

Yixuan listened, "Go ahead, I’ll help you analyze it."

Then Shu Yu recounted the recent events in detail. Yixuan was first slightly surprised, then understood, but finally found it a bit amusing...
