After Transmigration, I Picked Up A Husband and Daughter
Chapter 141 The Most Direct Proof

Chapter 141: Chapter 141 The Most Direct Proof

After breakfast, Su Yu went to fetch the horse carriage, preparing for the journey.

Seeing this scene, the clever and lively Xixi immediately understood that her mother was about to head to town again. She hurried over, staring at Su Yu with eyes full of hope, afraid of being left at home.

Recalling the last trip, Su Yu had indeed been too busy with her patients to take care of young Xixi.

Last time, she had seen sixteen patients in just one day, and her reputation had consequently spread far. This time, there would likely be even more people, making it even harder to attend to Xixi’s needs.

Thinking of this, Su Yu squatted down, her eyes conveying a hint of apology as she gently said to Xixi, "Baby, I really can’t take you with me this time."

Her tone carried an undeniable decisiveness.

Upon hearing this, Xixi’s little face immediately covered in disappointment, and she lowered her head, feeling aggrieved.

Su Yu tenderly stroked her hair, comforting her, "Xixi, be good, and I will bring back your favorite dessert when I return."

In that moment, the delicate warmth between mother and daughter quietly blossomed in the morning light.

It was then that Xixi, like a blooming flower, beamed with the joy of childhood innocence. She suddenly looked up and gave Su Yu a loud and crisp kiss, like the most delightful bird song of spring, making one’s heart tremble.

Jiang Ziling gently held Xixi’s little hand, his tender gaze passing between them as he cautioned Su Yu, "Take care on the road, and remember, we are always here, waiting for your return."

This exquisite care was like gentle rain, silently enriching everything around, making the air itself seem warmer.

A hint of girlish shyness unexpectedly surged in Su Yu’s heart, her cheeks quietly blushing, as she bowed her head and softly replied, "I know, I will be careful."

With that, she gracefully walked toward the carriage stopped outside the door, the thin whip in her hand twinkling in the morning light. With a gentle flick of her wrist, the carriage seemed endowed with life, its wheels slowly rolling over the threshold’s stone with a slight yet melodious sound, gradually making its way towards the road outside.

Just as she stepped out of the courtyard, under the newly risen morning sun, Sister-in-law He—Xie Qifen stood at the doorway, radiating happiness as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Su Yu appear, her face marked with signs of age looked even more eager as she hurriedly approached, her steps slightly stumbling in her excitement.

"I thought you would have left with the first ray of sunlight, little Yu."

Xie Qifen’s voice was filled with care and joy.

Su Yu was indeed later than usual today, partly because the enchanting moonlight last night had made her restless and sleepless, causing her to linger in the warmth of her bed a bit longer that morning; and partly because her last visit to the Medical Hall had been fruitless, so she deliberately chose to leave a bit later to avoid being disappointed again.

As the carriage slowly came to a stop, Su Yu looked at Xie Qifen with a touch of curiosity, "If you’re coming along, why didn’t you let me know in advance yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qifen first chuckled heartily and then carefully placed the basket she was carrying in a corner of the carriage, making sure it wouldn’t jostle. Only then did she agilely leap aboard.

However, in the moment she jumped up, a faint moan inadvertently escaped her lips, a sound that suddenly caught Su Yu’s attention. Her gaze involuntarily turned towards Xie Qifen.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Su Yu’s inquiry was tinged with concern and perplexity.

Xie Qifen’s cheeks instantly blushed like the glow of the dawn, a shade of crimson spreading across them. She fidgeted awkwardly for a long while before she stammered out the reason, "The herbs you gave me before... they seem to have really worked!"

The words were laced with an embarrassment that echoed the first stirrings of a young girl’s emotions.

Initially, Su Yu was somewhat confused, but she soon had an epiphany, and a helpless smile involuntarily formed on her lips.

The potency of Meng Yuanyou combined with the strong aphrodisiac wine Xie Qifen accidentally drank last night, no wonder Sister-in-law He was acting so unusually today.

For a woman of her age, such an experience was indeed difficult to speak of.

Su Yu inwardly sighed, the possible scenes from last night involuntarily flashed through her mind, and her cheeks also inexplicably blushed, as if infected by some strange emotion.

Xie Qifen certainly did not miss the subtle change in Su Yu and her slightly flushed earlobes, and she teased half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Hey, we’re both women, what’s there to be shy about? Surely you and Ziling haven’t consummated your marriage yet?"

This straightforward remark left Su Yu not knowing how to respond, feeling immensely awkward.

People on the outside often did not know the truth, and any explanation might seem superfluous to them.

Not to mention, Su Yu did not want to publicize her personal matters with Jiang Ziling, because the same story, when told by different people, often evolved into countless versions, distorted and complex.

Just as Su Yu was pondering how to dissolve this sudden awkwardness, Xie Qifen had already started to speculate on her own.

"Oh my, is that true? You two have been together so long and still haven’t done the deed as husband and wife; could it be Ziling also damaged that aspect of his abilities when he broke his leg?"

Xie Qifen’s curiosity was like a wild horse breaking free, forcing Su Yu to quickly interrupt her guessing, "Oh, sister, don’t think nonsense, what are you talking about!"

Gossip spreads like wildfire; once ignited, it’s hard to control, a fact well known to Su Yu.

As for whether there were indeed any "damage" to Jiang Ziling in that regard, Su Yu had a clear mind, as everything had been directly proven last night.

That touch... well, let it remain in her heart, becoming a secret not worth mentioning.

Su Yu felt a slight embarrassment, cleared her throat, and with a hint of noticeable tension in her voice, she explained in a gentle and clear tone, "It’s not as complicated as you imagine. Ziling has mobility issues due to his injured legs, so I used what I’ve learned to set his bones. He’s still recovering, hence the slow movements."

Her eyes conveyed a mixture of concern and confidence, silently expressing her hopes for the treatment’s outcome.

"So, his legs are expected to make a full recovery?"

Xie Qifen’s tone was mixed with surprise and urgency, clearly deeply engaged by this topic.

Her eyes sparkled with hope, as if she had witnessed a miracle unfolding before her.

Upon hearing this, Su Yu felt a wave of relief, gently nodded, and her lips curved into a faint smile, "Exactly, you might not have noticed yesterday, but he still needs a walking stick for support."

Her words were filled with certainty about Jiang Ziling’s improving condition and also revealed a slight regret that nobody else had noticed this change.
