Chapter 120 It’s not that simple
"Master, what are you talking about? Didn't my aunt pass away long ago? I am your apprentice, Jiang Shuyu!"
The pain in Xu Yiyuan's eyes at this moment made Jiang Shuyu's heart tighten. She had heard the story about his master and her aunt. If her aunt had chosen her master, would the situation be different?
However, fate is unpredictable and these things are not something that mortals like them can interfere with.
Xu Yiyuan looked at Jiang Shuyu's eyes full of worry, and then he came to his senses. At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind. If calculated according to the time, Jiang Lan's child is probably the same age as Jiang Shuyu!
If he hadn't watched Jiang Shuyu grow up with his own eyes, he would definitely associate Jiang Shuyu with that child.
Thinking of this, Xu Yiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he laughed at himself in his heart. He was really crazy.
Since ancient times, there have been many nieces who look like their aunts. He couldn't be so paranoid that everyone looked like Jiang Lan's child just because he knew Jiang Lan still had a trace of blood in the world.
If Jiang Shuyu is really Jiang Lan's child, the Jiang family would have reported the news to the court long ago in exchange for the compromise of the Nanmo Kingdom. Then, wouldn't the Dongli Kingdom be able to get the support of the Nanmo Kingdom without spending a single soldier?
Suppressing the ridiculous thoughts in his mind, Xu Yiyuan couldn't help but look at Jiang Shuyu again, but found that she was very different from the shadow in his memory.
Although the two looked very similar, their personalities were indeed very different. Jiang Lan lacked the calmness that was always unique to a woman from a secluded boudoir, and was like a woman with the wind. On the other hand, Jiang Shuyu's every move showed the gentleness of a lady from a noble family. If you were familiar with the two, you would be able to find the difference between them at a glance. I was really blinded by one thing just now.
"Why do you have time to come here today? Haven't you dealt with the affairs at the mansion?"
During this period, the affairs of the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion were widely spread in Dingdu. He naturally knew that Jiang Shuyu had too many trivial matters these days, so he turned a blind eye to her not coming over often.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Xu Yiyuan who had returned to his usual self, and a smile appeared on her face. However, she saw that there were still some teacups beside him that had not been removed in time, and a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Shuyu's eyes.
You know, Xu Yi never entertained guests at his house for so many years, let alone had a drink with him. She didn't expect that he would take out the teacups that he had treasured for a long time. How could she not be surprised?
Jiang Shuyu lowered her eyes slightly, suppressing the amusement in her eyes. After all, she came here at this time because she had important matters to attend to. If she made her master furious, it would be more trouble than good.
After thinking this through, Jiang Shuyu cleared her throat slightly, then looked at Xu Yiyuan seriously and said calmly: "I'm done, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of reorganizing things.
As soon as the matter was settled, the disciple came over to greet the master without stopping! Master, how have you been these days? Has anything unusual happened?
Jiang Shuyu had just finished speaking when her eyes flickered across the teacup beside her, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes. You know, her master had always been a lonely man in his previous life. In his later years, he was alone and his life was very miserable. If he could find someone who shared the same feelings with him and support him until old age in this life, it would be a good choice.
Seeing Jiang Shuyu's suggestive look, Xu Yiyuan's face darkened. He looked at Jiang Shuyu and said,
"If you're free, and my free clinic happens to be in a few days, you can come along then. Right now, you only have medical skills, but they're all wasted. Since you've chosen this path, you must be willing to sacrifice yourself, so you don't have to worry about it for a day or two!"
Listening to Xu Yiyuan's words, Jiang Shuyu couldn't help but be startled, but she also agreed happily. If she could do it again, if she could do her best to help more people, she would naturally not refuse.
"Okay! Master, when are you going? Please let me know in advance so I can prepare."
Xu Yiyuan looked at Jiang Shuyu in surprise. He didn't expect Jiang Shuyu to agree so readily. You know, every time he mentioned this matter, Jiang Shuyu would have various reasons not to go. As time went by, he no longer called her every time he went out. He didn't expect her to be so happy today. It seems that she has really grown up.
Looking at Jiang Shuyu who was so sensible, Xu Yiyuan nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, that's what I said. Next time someone calls you, don't deliberately refuse!"
"Master, don't worry! I will go find her in person when the time comes, and I will definitely not give her a chance to refuse!"
Xu Mufan came over with snacks. He was happy with Jiang Shuyu's change, but he didn't expect that this time, Jiang Shuyu would change so drastically. He didn't know what the reason was that prompted her to change like this.
Jiang Shuyu looked at Xu Mufan as he walked in, his eyes full of suspicion. He shook his head helplessly. He was afraid that his past actions had left a shadow on the two of them. However, since he had decided to change, he would not just talk about it.
"Then let's wait and see. I will definitely not lose to you this time!"
Xu Yiyuan looked at the two people arguing, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes full of smiles.
Jiang Shuyu and the others had lunch together, and then they looked at Xu Yiyuan and explained their purpose. When Xu Yiyuan heard Jiang Shuyu say that she had seen the recipe in the forbidden book somewhere else, his face changed drastically, and he immediately took Jiang Shuyu and the others to the study.
Seeing how serious Xu Yiyuan was, Jiang Shuyu realized that things might not be as simple as she thought.
Xu Yiyuan took out the forbidden book from the secret compartment, but the book was now worn out and split in two. The one in Xu Yiyuan's hand was the second half, which was exactly the part that Jiang Shuyu had seen at the beginning.
"Master, what's going on?" It wasn't like this when she first saw it. How did it become like this now? It looked like it was torn off by someone, and there were traces of burns on it.
Xu Yiyuan glanced at Jiang Shuyu and then said, "Not long after you left, this study was robbed. In the chaos, I could only protect this half of the volume, and the top volume was snatched away. I have been secretly tracking these down for years, but I have never heard of anyone using them. I didn't expect that you would find this now. It really helps me."
