A little devil has arrived at the Marquis's mansion, and all the powerful officials in the cour
Chapter 18 What a huge misunderstanding!
"Eunuch Li."
Pei Mu greeted him with a slight smile.
Renbao, whom he was holding in his arms, was holding a candied hawthorn, and his bright black eyes were darting around.
She raised her chubby finger and pointed at the old man sitting in the corner: "Grandfather, there's a fleshy ball inside him, and a red female ghost follows him around!"
The red-clad ghost immediately shrank into a ball, clinging tightly to Wei Huaihao's back, and silently chanted: You can't see me, you can't see me!
Pei Mu followed her chubby finger and saw it was Wei Huaihao, the Crown Prince's tutor, a rigid and strict man with a strong sense of integrity.
In recent years, he has been worn down by illness to the point of being emaciated, and his temperament has become somewhat eccentric, with little interaction with others.
Noticing Renbao's gaze, Wei Huaihao looked up; his eye sockets were deeply sunken, but his gaze remained sharp.
Pei Mu, who had been severely criticized by him as a brute, dared not look him in the eye. He stuffed a candied hawthorn into Renbao's mouth and whispered, "Renbao, don't mess with him. He's very good at cursing."
"Swearing?" Renbao's eyes lit up. Her sister taught her that if anyone bullied her, she should swear back fiercely and never keep it to herself. If she was not convinced, she should fight back!
"General Pei, I have come to your residence to offer my condolences on His Majesty's orders. Please accept my deepest sympathies." Eunuch Li said solemnly.
Pei Mu's face darkened, somewhat displeased. If it weren't for the fact that Eunuch Li was a favorite of the emperor, he would have already started cursing.
He looked around, his tone somewhat cold: "You're not all here to offer condolences, are you?"
His reaction stunned everyone.
"Yes... ah." Eunuch Li hesitated, a bad feeling rising in his heart. Could it be a misunderstanding?
Pei Mu laughed in exasperation: "Excuse my bluntness, but what kind of condolence are you all offering?"
Eunuch Li looked uneasy and cautiously said, "It's being said outside that your wife..."
Pei Mu could hardly contain his anger: "Nonsense! My wife is perfectly fine. She was lucky to have met the little miracle doctor; not only was she cured, but she can even stand up again!"
These words shocked the entire room.
A glimmer of light flashed in Wei Huaihao's lifeless eyes.
"General Pei, is this truly the case? The imperial physicians have all come, saying there's nothing they can do. Who is this renowned physician you've sought, and where is he?"
"To be able to make a bedridden person stand up again—this superb medical skill is worthy of being called a national saint!"
The court officials surrounded Pei Mu, asking him numerous questions.
Who wouldn't want to befriend a miracle doctor!
Eunuch Li was also very concerned. If he could find out the whereabouts of the divine physician, the emperor would surely be overjoyed.
Pei Mu, intending to promote Renbao, pretended to be mysterious and happy, saying, "I was lucky to meet such a rare and wonderful doctor. With just one treatment, she cured my illness and freed me from suffering."
"General Wei, please introduce me to the young miracle doctor. Feel free to name your conditions."
"The Little Divine Doctor? That's Su Tang, the young lady of the Marquis's mansion. Finding her is easy."
Pei Mu raised an eyebrow, letting out a heavy sneer: "Her?"
The ministers who came to offer their condolences were all shrewd and listened intently, suspecting that something fishy was going on!
"Could it not be her?" Eunuch Li asked.
Pei Mu nodded: "The little miracle doctor who cured my wife isn't Su Tang. As for how she got that title, I don't know either. Perhaps you've got it wrong."
The crowd was in an uproar, exchanging bewildered glances.
If it's not Su Tang, then why is everyone calling her a little miracle doctor? She was even summoned to the palace by the Empress.
Pei Mu's aged eyes flashed with a shrewd light, and he said meaningfully, "The divine physician who cured the Princess of Zhennan is the same person I invited to my residence. Go and ask the Prince of Zhennan if it is Su Tang, and you will know the truth."
"General Pei, could you please tell us who the real Little Divine Doctor is?"
The civil and military officials continued to press Pei Mu for answers.
Pei Mu couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
He couldn't wait to proudly tell everyone.
The little miracle doctor is none other than his son, Renbao!
He remembered Pei Yuru's instructions and tried his best to restrain himself: "The divine physician has gone into seclusion. We will meet again if fate allows."
Everyone was disappointed and sighed.
Renbao couldn't quite understand what they were saying. She ran up to Wei Huaihao, circled around him, and pretended to pull out her peach wood sword to hit him.
She wanted to knock the female ghost out of him.
Tao Xiang was terrified, fearing that she would offend Grand Tutor Wei, so she snatched the peach wood sword away, saying, "Young Miss, Lord Wei is an elder, you must not be rude."
The female ghost trembled all over and hurriedly got off Wei Huaihao, prostrating herself on the ground tremblingly, not daring to look Renbao in the eye: "Greetings, Little Yama."
Renbao raised his chubby little hand, and a faint golden light rippled from his fingertips.
The female ghost on the ground was instantly bound by invisible ropes, and a powerful suction force pulled her into Renbao's palm.
Renbao used the soul-snatching rope to tie the female ghost around his waist and tapped her head: "Be good."
The female ghost slumped into a ball, dejected and too afraid to move.
Wei Huaihao suddenly felt his heart, which had been weighed down by a boulder, suddenly relax, and his body, which had been tormented by illness, felt a little lighter when Renbao approached.
He looked at Renbao standing in front of him, dressed in a black ruqun with gold trim, her gold jewelry jingling, licking a candied hawthorn. It was clear at a glance that she was her parents' beloved little dumpling.
The two, one big and one small, stared at each other.
Wei Huaihao remained silent.
After a moment, Wei Huaihao couldn't withstand her clear and bright gaze any longer: "Little girl, aren't you afraid of me?"
"Don't be afraid!" Renbao handed over the candied hawthorn in her hand, her voice sweet and sticky. "Grandpa said you're good at swearing. I want to learn. Can you teach me?"
Pei Mu had just seen the guests off and returned to the main hall when he heard Ren Bao's words. He immediately denied it, saying, "I didn't say that."
Renbao looked at him and said very honestly, "Grandpa lied! You just said it!"
"Grand Tutor Wei, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." Pei Mu wiped away his cold sweat and looked at Wei Huaihao awkwardly.
Wei Huaihao said calmly, "It's alright. I'm quite good at cursing people. Would General Pei like to experience it?"
"No, no," Pei Mu hurriedly waved his hand.
Wei Huaihao rose to take his leave, and before leaving, he stuffed a jade pendant into Renbao's hand: "This child is destined to be with me. When he begins his education, he can come to the Wei residence to find me."
Pei Mu was overjoyed.
He meant that Renbao should become his apprentice! This old man may have a bad temper, but in terms of integrity and knowledge, he is second to none.
He quickly said, "Renbao, catch it!"
Renbao refused the jade pendant. Staring at Wei Huaihao's pocket, she said crisply, "I want gold!"
Wei Huaihao was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. How did she know he was carrying a gold ingot? He took it out and handed it to her: "Here you go."
"Thank you, Grandpa Wei~" Renbao held the gold ingot with great affection, his eyes only on it.
Even after Wei Huaihao got into the carriage to return home, she still had a smile on her face. What an interesting little girl.
Inside the palace, at the Zhaoyi Hall.
After finishing the large bowl of herbal medicine in one go, the empress picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth.
The chief eunuch hurried into the palace and told the Empress everything that had happened at the Pei residence.
"What did you say?" the Empress raised her voice. "Isn't Su Tang the Little Divine Doctor?"
