Chapter 1057 Departure!
“Yaoyao, you’re right. My father-in-law and I think so too. I suspect this matter is mostly related to Wuyuan,” Chu Chenjing said in a deep voice, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
"It's that old bastard again? He's really persistent!" Ouyang Yunyao frowned slightly, her tone full of impatience. "This time we absolutely cannot let him go again."
"Yes! We must wipe out his lair!" Chu Chenjing nodded emphatically.
Ouyang Yunyao suddenly remembered something, raised her eyes and asked, "Leng Yi shouldn't have any more Truth Pills left, right?"
"Yaoyao, you're so thoughtful. They should be long gone." Chu Chenjing looked at Ouyang Yunyao with doting eyes.
Ouyang Yunyao raised her eyebrows proudly, "That's right!" She then suggested:
"Those two assassins that Leng Yi captured might not be able to get them to talk. Anyway, we're going to Shatai City in a couple of days, so why don't we just fly to Huaiyang City tonight?"
"Yao Yao's suggestion is good. This matter is urgent, so you should go tonight." Ouyang Xiao looked at the two of them with a serious expression.
Chu Chenjing frowned slightly, glanced at Ouyang Xiao and Ouyang Yunyao, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "But my sister-in-law, she only just..."
"Oh, you mean my sister-in-law? She had a natural birth, and everything is fine!" Ouyang Yunyao said with a smile, waving her hand. "Before I leave, I'll give her and the two babies another check-up."
Chu Chenjing pondered for a moment, "Yaoyao, we can't let sister-in-law's matter be delayed. Why don't you stay and take care of her? Chu Feng and I will go over first."
Ouyang Yunyao spoke up, "That won't be necessary. It's not appropriate for you to go over there and take away Qiao Lifu and the others' goods directly." She curled her lips, then rolled her eyes and looked at her father with a sly smile, teasingly saying, "Hey, what's so difficult about that! If my dad and mom are worried, I'll just put my sister-in-law in my space to take care of her!"
“If you take your sister-in-law away, your mother will only be more worried.” Ouyang Xiao glared at her, but his tone was cheerful.
"Then I can just put Mother in the space too, right?" Ouyang Yunyao stuck out her little tongue and said playfully.
"You little ingrate, you just abandoned your father like that?" Ouyang Xiao was both amused and exasperated by his daughter's words.
Ouyang Yunyao hadn't expected her father to take it so seriously, so she smiled and said with a smile:
"Dad...! I never said I was going to leave you behind. If you want to go, you can come along and have some fun." After saying that, Ouyang Yunyao actually thought her idea was pretty good.
As they were talking, Ouyang Yunyao's second brother, Ouyang Yunxiang, and fourth brother, Ouyang Yunhai, hurriedly entered the hall one after the other. Upon seeing Chu Chenjing, the two quickly bowed and greeted him, "Greetings, Prince Jing and Princess Jing."
"Second Brother, Fourth Brother, no need for such formalities." Chu Chenjing raised his hand to indicate that he should refrain from such formalities.
Ouyang Yunyao rolled her eyes and snorted, "Hmph... Second Brother, Fourth Brother, here you go again! Why are there so many rules now? Aren't you tired of it?"
"Alright, alright, Second Brother understands." Ouyang Yunxiang quickly smiled and begged for forgiveness.
"Fourth Brother won't be able to either, so don't blame him then!" Ouyang Yunhai joked.
Ouyang Yunyao raised an eyebrow and smiled gently, "That's more like it."
The two brothers then turned to Ouyang Xiao and called out in unison, "Father!" "Uncle!"
"Why did you two come back together?" Ouyang Xiao asked, looking at the two of them.
"We happened to run into each other at the gate of the manor," Ouyang Yunxiang replied with a smile, then looked at his father with anticipation, "Father, I heard that my eldest brother has twins? This is a great joy for our manor!"
Mentioning this, Ouyang Xiao's face instantly lit up with a smile, and he laughed heartily, "Hahaha! Of course! I finally have a grandson and a granddaughter, all at once, this is perfect!"
"You're amazing, little sister! You diagnosed that my sister-in-law was carrying twins a long time ago. You're incredible!" Ouyang Yunhai gave Ouyang Yunyao a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration.
"Of course! My little sister's medical skills are so advanced, they've been guided by a deity!" Ouyang Yunxiang said proudly, his head held high, as if he were talking about himself.
He thought to himself, "This is my own sister, of course I have to show her off properly."
"Second brother, look at how smug you are, acting like your medical skills are so great." Ouyang Yunhai couldn't help but sarcastically remark.
“My medical skills aren’t bad either! It’s just that I didn’t continue to study them later.” Ouyang Yunxiang glared at Ouyang Yunhai and retorted.
It is said that apart from the fourth young master Ouyang Yunhai, who had not studied medicine or identified herbs, everyone else in the general's mansion had learned to identify herbs and perform simple diagnostic methods such as observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation from Yan Yuxin since childhood.
When Ouyang Yunhai was five years old and able to identify herbs, Yan Yuxin had already gone to the border town with Ouyang Xiao, while Ouyang Yunyao was still learning from her mother in the border town.
But in the end, it was only Ouyang Yunyao who truly loved studying medicine. Her older brother, Ouyang Yunyu, had no interest in medicine or traditional Chinese medicine; he was solely focused on martial arts.
Her second brother, Ouyang Yunxiang, preferred accounting and business. Although he knew some herbs, he disliked medicine and gave up his idea of studying it.
Ouyang Yunyan persisted in learning medicine and identifying medicinal herbs. However, after Yan Yuxin went to the border town with Ouyang Xiao, Ouyang Yunyan stopped studying in depth.
Not to mention Ouyang Yunhan, who has been Ouyang Yunyu's shadow since childhood and loves practicing martial arts.
In the end, Ouyang Yunyao not only received personal instruction from her mother, but was also sent to Medicine King Valley to be taught by her maternal grandfather and maternal uncle when she was twelve years old.
He had studied diligently and possessed decent medical skills, but even that was only decent; he was still no match for Ouyang Yunyao, who lived thousands of years later.
Fortunately, the original owner of this body already possessed medical skills, so Ouyang Yunyao didn't give herself away after transmigrating. She even told everyone that her medical skills were so advanced because she met a magical old man and received his guidance.
Ouyang Xiao watched as Ouyang Yunxiang and Ouyang Yunhai, who were always bickering, argued again, and waved his hand helplessly.
"Alright, alright, you two stop fooling around. Hurry up and tell the steward to set the table, and help Grandmother to eat. Prince Jing and Yao Yao have to leave tonight."
"Brother-in-law, little sister, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going tonight? Today is a joyous occasion, we should have a drink with Father tonight." Ouyang Yunxiang asked hurriedly, his face full of doubt.
“Yes! Yes! Today is a joyous occasion for our General’s Mansion. Aren’t you going to celebrate with us tonight? Are you in such a hurry to leave?” Ouyang Yunhai quickly added.
Chu Chenjing values Ouyang Yunyao's family highly, and they are a family he can trust.
He then gave them a deep look and said, "Second Brother, Fourth Brother, don't worry. Today is a joyous occasion for the General's Mansion. Yao Yao and I will definitely celebrate with you tonight."
He paused, his eyes sharpening. "But we must leave tonight after dinner because the Loba caravan has been attacked."
