Chapter 125 Xie Wanru meets Xiao Yan at the Medicine King Hall
After saying that, Shen Cong'an turned to leave, but stopped at the door and said with his back to everyone, "From now on, we are family outside, but we don't need to act inside."
After saying that, he strode out of the room, leaving the Shen family members in shock and deep thought.
To Madam Shen's surprise, Shen Cong'an finally brought those words to the surface, revealing that he could sever the debt of twenty years of nurturing.
Shen Nianqing was extremely shocked. Why did her matter cause such a big reaction?
Only Shen Zhan remained silent, his words followed by endless stillness.
He had always disliked Shen Cong'an for being too outstanding in front of others, which made him look incompetent, but he never expected that his son would dare to say such things to him.

"The Crown Prince is now in charge of military supplies. As long as we remain calm, we will succeed sooner or later."
Lou Li said with a smile.
He was given a dressing-down by his father, and his temperament became more and more composed.
Because Lou Li had shown no fear of him before, Xiao Yan became more restrained in front of Lou Li.
“My elder brother is meticulous in his work. After these two incidents, he is very wary of me. Now that Father trusts me and has asked me to suppress the bandits, I will do something practical first. You keep a close eye on things and send someone to inform me as soon as you have any news.”
Xiao Yan was in a bad mood. He was never good at doing anything serious, but this time the emperor trusted him, and he didn't want to disappoint the emperor.
After he finished speaking, a cold smile appeared on Lou Li's lips.
Let's get something practical done?
You're a brainless idiot; what real things can you possibly accomplish?
At this moment, Lou Li felt that Xiao Yan was completely worthless. It was because of him that he was scolded by his father, and it was also because of Xiao Yan that his plan failed.
Dozens of his men couldn't hide Xie Yanting, who was tied up, and it was only thanks to his capable henchman that they were able to keep him safe.
"What the Third Prince says is absolutely right."
He cursed them in his heart, but dared not show it on his face.
Xie Wanru was worried about where Doctor Huo was. He hadn't come to her housewarming party either, so she went to look for him herself. She saw the old man walking out happily with a young apprentice.
"Dr. Huo, where have you been all this time? You didn't even come to celebrate my move, are you looking down on me?"
Xie Wanru feigned a coquettish tone, her face showing a hint of grievance.
Lin Qing almost lost control and made a disgusted face next to her. What's wrong with her Wanwan?
Doctor Huo stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Wanru, don't wrong me. I've been busy researching new prescriptions. I just made some progress and was about to come to you."
He hadn't forgotten what Xie Wanru had secretly told him before she left.
Although he was shocked and blushed, he gritted his teeth and went for it when he thought he could help Xie Wanru.
"Oh? You're really hungry? Tell me quickly, is it working well?"
Xie Wanru asked curiously, pulling Doctor Huo inside.
The group returned to the Medicine King Hall. Doctor Huo smiled mysteriously and whispered a few words to Xie Wanru.
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanru's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with delight, "Really? That's wonderful! Dr. Huo, you're truly my lucky star!"
The young apprentice, watching the two being so affectionate, secretly smiled. It seemed that Doctor Huo was only this happy when he was with Princess Yongchang.
"What are you two talking about? Neither of you will tell me?"
Lin Qing crossed her hands. She was now an ally of Xie Wanru and the others. How could there be anything she couldn't know?
Then, Xiao Yan, who was on the second floor of the shop across the street, saw their figures outside.
The old doctor Huo is highly skilled in medicine. If he could be put to use, his plan would undoubtedly have a better chance of success.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yan ignored Xie Wanru's presence and went downstairs.
He strode inside, and even the young apprentice couldn't stop him.
Doctor Huo got up to lead Xie Wanru out through a side door so they could hide and avoid seeing this person.
However, Xie Wanru refused, saying that the medicine had already been developed and it was perfect for him to use.
Xiao Yan, who strode in, stopped when he saw Physician Huo and bowed politely, saying, "Physician Huo, I have long admired your name. I am Xiao Yan, the third son of His Majesty."
Doctor Huo looked up at Xiao Yan. How could he not recognize Xiao Yan?
"This humble subject pays respects to Your Highness the Third Prince."
Doctor Huo and Lin Qing bowed to each other, but Xie Wanru, despite having the title of Princess Yongchang, did not want to bow, and Xiao Yan could not force her to.
Xie Wanru really wanted to ask, "Third Prince, why did you kidnap my third brother? Is it for fun?"
But she held back.
Now is not the time. If we act rashly, it will make things difficult to carry out our plans later.
"Oh? Princess Yongchang is here too. Is she ill?"
Xiao Yan asked, but his tone was not one of concern, but rather mockery.
Xie Wanru smiled gently, her eyes sparkling with wisdom, a stark contrast to the foolishness in Xiao Yan's eyes. She slowly said, "Your Highness is overthinking it. I am in good health and have only come to catch up with Elder Huo. But have you been busy suppressing bandits lately, Your Highness? Were you perhaps beheaded?"
Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly. He was perfectly fine; how could he be injured? Xie Wanru could easily ignite the fire in his heart, yet he still feigned composure and said, "Your Highness is overthinking it. I am perfectly fine. I still have to rid the country of harm; how could I be easily injured? Physician Huo, I have long admired your medical skills. Could you perhaps treat some of my wounded soldiers?"
Doctor Huo frowned slightly. As a doctor, saving lives was his duty, but he didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Yan: "Your Highness, there are military doctors in the camp, so it is inconvenient for this old man to interfere."
"Doctor Huo, do you not wish to serve me?"
Xiao Yan closed his eyes slightly. He was good at mingling with women, but he was really not good at winning people's hearts.
Lin Qing looked at Xie Wanru with an expression that said, "Look, you actually had your eye on this girl before."
Xie Wanru was speechless.
She really suspected that someone had blinded her in her past life, otherwise how could she have been so blind?
Xie Wanru snorted coldly, "Third Prince, Physician Huo is old and no longer cares about worldly affairs. He rarely makes house calls anymore. Why do you have to force him? Or do you, Third Prince, enjoy doing this kind of thing? What's the difference between you and the bandits in the mountains?"
When Xie Wanru said that he was forcing her to do something she couldn't, Xiao Yan's face immediately darkened.
His face grew increasingly gloomy as Xie Wanru continued to mock him, comparing him to bandits.
However, he still tried to maintain his composure, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "Princess Yongchang, you flatter me. I merely value talent and hope that Doctor Huo's medical skills can be used by the soldiers of our Great Zhou. How can you say that I am forcing someone to do something against their will? As for bandits, they are the kind of people I am about to wipe out. Those who oppose me will not have a good end."
