Physician Bian Returns
"I won't ask anymore." Xu Weibei slightly raised his head, his gaze falling on the trees by the roadside. "Since she's so determined not to let me know, then I'll just pretend I don't know either."
The grandmother would feel that the mother's identity was shameful.
He didn't think so.
But his mother was no longer alive, and his grandmother was so old; he didn't want to bring up the past and make her think he was blaming her.
"Then let it go. Let it be. Actually, it might not be a bad thing for you. I can sense that Yiling is friendly towards you."
"I didn't feel anything," Xu Weibei said coldly. "And don't believe a word she says."
He doesn't acknowledge any marriage agreement whatsoever!
Gu Wanning couldn't help but chuckle, "If you're nicer, she's practically your cousin."
"I have too many cousins, I can't even recognize them all."
Gu Wanning was struggling with how to bring up the topic of seeing a doctor with him, how to achieve her goal without hurting him.
As they spoke, the two had already walked out of the palace gate.
Gao Lan was pacing anxiously outside. Upon seeing them, he immediately rushed forward, excitedly exclaiming, "My Marquis, my Marquis, Jingyuan, he, he—"
Chapter 275 Physician Bian Returns
"What happened to Zhou Jingyuan?" Xu Weibei frowned and asked in a deep voice.
Gu Wanning had also heard him mention that this treacherous Zhou Jingyuan had gone to find Physician Bian, who had been delayed in returning.
So her heart jumped.
Is there any news about this?
With the Emperor suddenly bringing up Xu Weibei's background today, Gu Wanning felt a sense of impending doom.
Although the emperor appeared very easygoing, he must have thought things through carefully before speaking.
If he didn't expose Xu Weibei's background, the Grand Princess would have kept it a secret, and Xu Weibei would have had a hard time finding out.
"Jingyuan brought Physician Bian back!" Gao Lan's voice trembled with excitement. "They were originally supposed to come to the capital in a few more days, but Physician Bian suddenly became anxious to see you, so the two of them rushed back ahead of schedule."
Gu Wanning knew he was anxious to see Physician Bian and get the truth, so she said, "I can go back by myself, you go ahead and do your work. Don't get upset..."
The situation couldn't get any worse.
If she can accept the current situation, what else can't she accept?
"You're coming with me." Xu Weibei forcefully grabbed her hand.
Gu Wanning: "..."
She tried to struggle, after all, Gao Lan was still in front of her.
But Xu Weibei held her tightly, and she couldn't break free at all, so she could only let him be.
Xu Weibei lifted her onto the horse, then mounted himself, wrapped his arms around her, squeezed the horse's flanks with his legs, and galloped away like lightning.
Gao Lan chased after him in a panic.
Xu Weibei took Gu Wanning back to the villa.
He himself rarely returns to the Marquis's Residence anymore.
Without Gu Wanning, the Marquis's Marquis's Residence was so quiet it was maddening.
Gu Wanning finally met the legendary Physician Bian.
In her imagination, Physician Bian should be an old, wise doctor with white hair and a youthful face, but she never expected him to be so young and refined, looking like a mature and handsome man in his thirties.
Yes, he was extremely handsome, even more so than Xu Weibei.
Xu Weibei was masculine, Physician Bian was purely beautiful, possessing an absolute beauty that made both men and women feel ashamed of their own appearance.
Gu Wanning didn't consider herself a fangirl, but she still couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.
Seemingly noticing her gaze, Physician Bian smiled and looked back at her.
His eyes held the loving tenderness one would show when looking at a child.
Gu Wanning: "..."
I treated you like a pretty boy, but you treated me like a child?
Zhou Jingyuan stepped forward and bowed to Xu Weibei, saying excitedly, "My Marquis, I have not failed in my mission."
Xu Weibei grunted in acknowledgment, then pointed at Gu Wanning and said, "This is Madam."
Zhou Jingyuan was stunned.
Didn't the Marquis get a divorce?
He always felt that he and the Marquis were in the same boat.
Why has the Marquis remarried so soon?
But this one is clearly dressed as a girl...
Physician Bian reacted quickly, bowing and saying, "I, Bian, greet Lady Hou."
Gu Wanning quickly said, "No need, no need..."
She didn't deny being called "Madam" after all.
"My Marquis, may I speak with you in private?" Physician Bian asked.
Xu Weibei was displeased.
"I have nothing to hide from you, Madam."
"I know that the Marquis is deeply in love with his wife," Physician Bian, his eyes filled with the satisfaction of seeing his juniors happy, "But this matter is from the past, and involves people from the past..."
Gu Wanning tactfully replied, "I still need to go back and wait to receive the imperial decree and the good things the Emperor will bestow upon me! You two can chat for a while, and if you're free tonight, come over for dinner."
Xu Weibei can tell her later.
She dislikes making things difficult for others the most.
Xu Weibei told her that the imperial edict and the Death-Exemption Gold Plaque would not arrive in just a few days.
Where can you find a ready-made get-out -Death-Exemption Gold Plaque lying around waiting to find its owner?
Gu Wanning: "... Then I'll go back and prepare too."
She also had other things to do.
She was going to ask Yi Xiu why he refused to treat Xu Weibei; weren't they all family?
So formal!
Xu Weibei was worried, but seeing her insistence, he had no choice but to have Gao Lan escort her out.
Only after Gu Wanning's figure disappeared behind the screen wall did Xu Weibei withdraw his gaze from her, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.
Physician Bian nodded repeatedly, smiling as he said, "Congratulations Marquis, on finding the love of your life."
Xu Weibei's face darkened, and he stared intently into his eyes, his gaze sharp as torches.
Those familiar with Xu Weibei know that he was questioning him.
Zhou Jingyuan shuddered.
Or should he excuse himself for a moment?
If he had known, he should have gone with Gao Lan to see the lady off.
It's clear that the Marquis values his wife highly.
