Quickly wear a life of peace

Just as Zheng Xingrong stood up and was about to leave, this person spoke.

It turned out that this man was not from the village, but Zhuang Rui, the grandson of the imperial physician Zhuang Jimin. Imperial physician Zhuang was framed because he did not want to be wooed by Concubine Zhen. Fortunately, the emperor appreciated his medical skills and did not chop off his head, but only dismissed him from office.

Although Imperial Physician Zhuang said he would not tell anyone, how could Concubine Zhen let him go and risk exposing herself? So she sent someone to assassinate him while Imperial Physician Zhuang was out.

Imperial Physician Zhuang did not tell anyone other than his grandson about this matter, and he also told his grandson to just keep the affairs of the palace in mind and never spread them to anyone else.

Therefore, his family thought that his death was just an accident and did not take it seriously. His son Zhuang Xu did not have a very high talent for studying medicine and was unable to enter the palace to be an imperial physician. He only worked as a doctor in the city's Chinese medicine clinic.

There were many people who wanted to be the resident doctor in the imperial city. Without his backing, Zhuang Xu was soon replaced by someone else. The wealthy families in the city all had their own doctors they were familiar with or even palace physicians available, so they would not hire him anymore.

Zhuang Xu lost his livelihood and had no choice but to sell his property and return home.

However, they were ambushed on the way and their parents, brothers and sisters were all killed. Zhuang Rui was chased and fell off a cliff. Fortunately, he was agile and was first caught on a tree trunk, and then climbed down to the bottom of the cliff by relying on vines.

He tore his clothes and put them on a corpse torn to pieces by wild beasts, and then hid himself. Sure enough, a few days later, the killers really found him at the bottom of the cliff and left only after making sure that he was dead.

Zhuang Rui was afraid that there might be an ambush in his hometown, so he didn't dare to go back. Instead, he planned to go to the border town to seek refuge with General Gu Changgeng, who had been saved by his grandfather.

He was not careful and was spotted by a local thug who robbed him of his remaining money and threw him into the river. Perhaps God took pity on him and a piece of driftwood floated by, giving him a glimmer of hope and saving him.

Of course, the boy did not tell the truth at first. He only said that his parents died early and he was kicked out of the house by his uncle and aunt. He had nowhere to go and wanted to ask his benefactor to take him in.

Many people didn't believe this, thinking it was just made up by someone who had read too many storybooks. Zheng Xingrong certainly didn't believe it either. Zhuang Rui then revealed that he could collect herbs and support himself, and he just wanted a place to live. Zheng Xingrong felt that this man could not be kept, as he didn't tell the truth, so he wanted to send him away.

Zheng Rui saw that this family really didn't want to keep him, and he became anxious. He knew that it would be difficult to find a safer opportunity to leave than this one. However, he was young and not shrewd enough, so he mumbled the truth out of desperation.

After considering it, Zheng Xingrong agreed to take him with him, which made Xuanyunduo very worried. After experiencing what happened with Yang Xue, she was a little afraid of these accidents.

It doesn't matter how much I think. I've already brought people with me. I can only wait and see the situation first!

But she still wanted to know what to do next. So she asked again, "Grandfather, are you going to send him to the border town? Will it be dangerous?"

Zheng Changqing shook his head. "How could that be! We are ordinary people with no power and influence. We just want to live in peace and safety. The child himself said that he would follow us to Haiqu City instead of Biancheng. Just treat Zhuang Rui as dead. That's why your grandfather agreed to take him with him."

Xuanyunduo was a little confused. "So he won't seek revenge? Our family can't help him!"

Zheng Changqing looked at his daughter in surprise. "Sister Shu, how could you have such an idea? That person is a noble in the palace, a member of the royal family, not someone we little lowly people can mess with. It's God's mercy that Zhuang kid can escape with his life, how dare he take revenge?"

Ah this...

Xuanyunduo, Zheng Yunshu in this life was dumbfounded. "So he traveled thousands of miles to find the general just to save his life?"

Zheng Changqing didn't care. "What else? How dare an egg hit a stone? Sister Shu, if this happened in our family, it would be the same. Dad and Mom don't want you to seek revenge, as long as you and your sister can live."

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what nonsense are you talking about! Please don't blame me, Buddha, please don't blame me, and bless our family to be safe and sound!" Zhou slapped her husband anxiously, "How can you say such nonsense? Hurry up and spit it out!"

Zheng Changqing quickly made a few "Pooh" sounds and begged for mercy with a wry smile, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have said such nonsense. We must be safe and sound and everything will go smoothly! Hehe..."

Zheng Yunshu was also embarrassed. Although the words were not spoken by him, he was speaking to himself.

Zhou was so angry that she couldn't bear it. No one was a worry to her. She had finally escaped from slavery and was about to live a good life, but now one by one, she couldn't live without some troubles.

I was so curious that I couldn't help asking, "What is Dad thinking? Aren't you afraid of something going wrong by bringing such a trouble with you? Besides, what is the identity of that kid following us? How can we get him a citizenship?"

Alas! Why can't we live in peace these days?

Zheng Changqing didn't dare to use Qiao again, and quickly explained, "The boy's previous identity is definitely unusable. Dad wants to ask a friend to get him a new one when we get to Haiqu City. It's far away, and no one will specifically check on him. After a few years, when he grows up and looks different, he won't be afraid anymore."

After saying that, he glanced at Zheng Yunshu and continued, "As for the identity, wasn't there a family of three on the farm who all died of illness? The one who didn't report to the government, I'll use the identity of that family's son."

Zhou nodded in understanding, but still worried, "What about their livelihood? Can we still support them?"

Zheng Yunshu was also curious. Although the man studied medicine, he was full of troubles. He couldn't continue to treat patients, right?

Zheng Changqing was mysterious, "How can our father do a business that loses money? The old acquaintances of our father there are in need of someone who can treat their illnesses and make medicine for them. With this kid, they will be protected in the future, and our family will not be able to escape from the benefits, and the kid will also have someone to protect him."

Only then did Zhou feel relieved. She was glad that he would not be a burden to her family. She also wanted to see her sons and daughters get married, start their own families, and have many grandchildren.

Zheng Yunshu thought differently. From what her father said, why didn't her grandfather's acquaintance seem like a good person? Whose good family would lack someone who could treat illnesses and make medicine? Did he enter a bandit's den?

The thoughts of these two mothers are completely different. One relies on her father for everything, while the other worries endlessly.

On the other side, Zheng Xingrong asked his grandson Zheng Yunpeng to drive the car, and he and Zhuang Rui talked about their future livelihood in the car. "Brother Rui, since you have decided to go with our family, I will not hide it from you. Some of my friends have connections and can help you get a new identity and give you shelter, but you also have to pay a price."

Zheng Xingrong paused and looked at Zhuang Rui's face. If he was someone who couldn't figure things out, it would be better to deal with him early. He couldn't gamble with the lives of his entire family.

Zhuang Rui was very nervous, fearing that he would escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's den.
