The head of the Mu family

Chapter 167 The Grand Secretary's Gift

"Hmm~ It's safest for you to go by water."

Sunny and the others had all shown their faces to the Regent, which was too conspicuous.

I don't know if the other departments will be able to get back in time.

I'll send a message by carrier pigeon right away, and have Qingyue and the other two come to pick you up!

"Okay, okay~ I'll listen to you!"

In March, when I went to the Huo family for a house call, I mentioned that I would leave the capital after I finished my house call for the young master next month.

I will be making house calls next month and will provide treatment plans for the next one to two years.

In April, before Huaisheng went to make a house call for the Huo family, Uncle Xiaomo arrived with Qingchen, Yaomeng, and Muxu.

During the day, Huaisheng took them around the capital and bought a lot of things to take back with them.

When he went to the Huo family for a medical consultation, he took Qingchen and Muxu with him and explained the medical records and treatment plan to Qingchen.

With Qingchen's help, the acupuncture session ended before it got dark, and Huaisheng gave us a stack of prescriptions and explained the precautions in detail.

Just as I was about to leave after dark, the gatekeeper came to report that Mr. Dou from the Grand Secretary's residence had arrived.

A short while later, Mr. Dou strode in and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Huo.

He then greeted Huaisheng, who returned the greeting.

"Madam, I've come to see Doctor Mu."

"Dr. Mu has finished his consultation. Mr. Dou, please make yourself at home."

"In that case, I will see Doctor Mu out."

"Please, miracle doctor!"

"Mr. Dou, you're too kind~ Please~"

Mr. Dou glanced at Mu Xu a few times in the dark:

The eighteen-year-old boy was becoming increasingly handsome and dashing.

Although her face was slightly smudged, it couldn't hide her extraordinary charm.

Mr. Dou was secretly pleased with Wu's father's judgment:

This brothel owner may not have any other skills, but his eyes, which have seen countless people in the world of pleasure, are sure to spot the right men.

I never expected that after all these years, this child would not have a trace of the air of a woman from a wealthy family.

Indeed, it's not surprising that a remarkable woman like Doctor Mu would raise people to be whatever kind of person.

Fortunately, the two doctors I found this time took more effort to find, otherwise Doctor Mu really wouldn't have liked them.

Upon arriving at the gate of the General's Mansion, Mr. Dou cupped his hands in greeting, gestured towards Mu Xu with a smile, and said:

"Dr. Mu, you are truly devoted!"

This child, raised by the miraculous doctor, has developed such a refined air; he looks just like a young master from a wealthy family.

Mu Xu blushed immediately upon hearing this. Huai Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening and chuckled, saying:

"Hehehe, Mr. Dou, you flatter me, you flatter me."

"Um, may I ask what business you have with me, sir?"

"I wonder when Doctor Mu will leave?"

"I'll be leaving early tomorrow morning. Mr. Dou, please convey to the Grand Secretary that he must be very polite."

It is my duty to collect fees for treating patients; I have no shortage of money. Farewell!

After saying that, he gave Mu Xu a wink, and Mu Xu immediately stepped forward excitedly to help the head of the family into the carriage.

Qingchen immediately boarded the carriage, Muxu put on his cap, bowed to Mr. Dou, and then drove away.

Mr. Dou stroked his small mustache and smiled confidently.

When he returned home that evening, Qianyan greeted him at the door. Noticing that Muxu looked a little off, she asked what was wrong, and Huaisheng explained.

Qianyan gave Muxu a warning look and assigned him a lot of homework, and Muxu's expression immediately changed.

That night, Qianyan whispered sweet nothings in Huaisheng's ear, and Huaisheng couldn't resist any longer after midnight and fell asleep.

Qianyan continued to fuss until dawn, and even after cleaning up Huaisheng, she was still reluctant to sleep.

Every now and then, gently caress your beloved.

As dawn broke, Qianyan's tender kisses fell again, and Huaisheng opened his eyes groggily.

She instinctively responded to him, her eyes red as she looked at Huaisheng.

Huai Sheng's heart and body were as soft as water, and he let Qian Yan ask him for more.

After cleaning Huai Sheng up, Qian Yan, with tears in her eyes, helped her put her clothes back on.

Huai Sheng, forgetting his sadness, found his legs were a little weak.

Seeing the person in front of him with red eyes, he sighed and couldn't bear to blame them.

After washing up, the two went to have breakfast. Qianyan carried her there, and Huaisheng, thinking about the impending separation, felt weak in the knees and let him go.

"In order not to arouse the Regent's suspicion, I have to go to my shift in a little while."

After the people from the Heavenly Department finish their work, Tianjin and Tianmu will return to the Mu residence.

"Okay~ Go to work without worry. I'll send you messages by carrier pigeon wherever I go."

"Hmm~ It's just that there aren't enough people protecting you on the road, I'm worried about you~"

Too many people, you'll attract attention; too few people, you'll be safe.

Before, wherever we went, it was always just me and Uncle Wu, sometimes with Qingyue too.

"You're still worried about having four people with you this time?"

After having breakfast, Huai Sheng regained some of his strength.

The two then parted ways. Qianyan went to her shift, while Huaisheng and Muxu, dressed as ordinary servants, led their horses out to make purchases.

Uncle Mo had already taken Qingchen and Mengyao to wait ten miles outside the city.

It was Qianyan's decision to have Muxu protect Huaisheng, even though she often warned Muxu and the others with her eyes.

However, he also knew that if they encountered danger, his martial arts skills were better, and he would definitely protect Huai Sheng without hesitation.

Huai Sheng and Mu Xu dismounted at the city gate and went out of the city, intending to stroll to the official road, put on their hats, and then mount their horses again.

On the official road outside the city, Mr. Dou stood by the roadside, smiling, accompanied by two people dressed in cloaks.

Huai Sheng smiled helplessly, stepped forward, and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Dr. Mu, just a word from you, and I, at my age, will be here waiting before dawn!"

Huai Sheng glanced at the bright sun and gave an awkward smile:

"Mr. Wang, you're too kind! I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Dou!"

"You'll definitely be satisfied with this gift!"

I put in a lot of effort...

With that, he took out a purse, stuffed it into Mu Xu's hand, mounted his horse, bowed to Huai Sheng, and rode away in a cloud of dust.

Two people wearing cloaks were left here.

Mu Xu handed the purse to Huai Sheng, who opened it and found two contracts of indenture.

Huaisheng: What kind of reputation do I have?

No, is this how other people perceive me?

But if I had known there would be all this good stuff, I wouldn't have bothered getting married at all!

The two men standing there lifted the hoods of their capes, revealing two boys who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old.

One of them was even more beautiful than Mu Su and the others, and had a scholarly air about her.

Although both were dressed in plain clothes, the other had an air about him that rivaled that of Qianyan back then.

A hint of surprise flashed in Huai Sheng's eyes, then he couldn't help but laugh and cry, and handed them the indenture.

"I don't think you are children from ordinary poor families. I don't know how Mr. Dou managed to buy you."

This is your contract of servitude; you are free!

After saying that, he mounted his horse and prepared to leave. He gave Mu Xu a wink, and Mu Xu took out a money bag.

Huai Sheng, sitting on his horse, tossed the money bag to the older child.

The two men put on their caps and rode away without looking back, arriving at Uncle Mo's place just before noon.

"Master, what is that?"

Qingchen and Mengyao quickly came to help the family head, while Uncle Xiao Mo held the horse and pointed to the back, asking questions.

Huai Sheng and Mu Xu turned around and saw that Huai Sheng almost lost his footing when he dismounted, and the two children caught up with him, panting.

"How did you guys follow us here?!"

Huai Sheng asked in surprise.

"Master, we... ran here."

We're all... just starting to learn some martial arts.

He answered, slightly out of breath.

Didn't I just tell you?

You can leave now, you have the indenture.
