Chapter 98
Such a big event happened to Geng Cheng, it is a big event in the uncle's house, but looking at the whole Ningdu, no one knows at all, but the yamen where he works knows.

Some people came to care, and some gloated. Everyone had different attitudes, but they all had the same understanding of the outcome of this matter, that is, Geng Cheng would not be able to go to the government office in the future.

On the third day after Geng Cheng was injured, Geng Shulou came back.

Geng Xingshuang only knew that Geng Shulou had stayed in Yideyuan for more than an hour, because Liang Ben was guarding Yideyuan, and there was no suitable place behind Geng Xun's study, so Jin Bao couldn't hear their conversation.

But in the following days, Geng Shulou didn't do much, although he didn't go to the academy, except for visiting Geng Cheng in the backyard every day, he spent most of his time studying in the study.

As for the progress of Geng Xun's investigation, even Xia Shi and Yao Shi didn't know, because Jin Bao didn't hear anything from them, Geng Xingshuang could only ask Zhan Pei and the others to pay more attention to the outside situation.

As for what Zhan Pei guessed, the first group of people who attacked Geng Cheng at that time might be her third uncle and her father. Geng Xingshuang also often observed her father recently, but his father was often away from the house, and had been helping Geng Cheng find a famous doctor outside.

But that's good too, I can't see it, I hope uncle, wife, and the second room can't see anything either.

With the passage of time, Geng Cheng's injury stabilized, but Geng Wen, Geng Yan, and even the whole uncle's house searched everywhere, but they couldn't find a famous doctor or a good prescription that could connect the tendon of the hamstring.

Geng Xingshuang often heard that the sound of shouting, cursing and roaring came from Yinghe Courtyard, with a few words of ridicule mixed in from time to time.

The former is Geng Cheng's reluctance and powerlessness, while the latter is Yao's belated counterattack.

Geng Xingshuang met Yao Shi several times in the mansion, and found that she was not depressed because of Geng Cheng's paralysis, but her complexion improved a lot.

"Looking at it this way, the person who broke the second uncle's tendon seems to have done a good thing. The second uncle has become like this. Apart from the sadness of the grandparents and the eldest brother, even the second aunt and the fourth sister seem to be just pretending to be sad, not really sad."

On this day, Geng Xingchen finally drew a batch of shoes, and made samples by himself. The next thing, because the business in the shop is getting busier now, relying on her and the maids of Wutongyuan can no longer satisfy the supply of Mingshang Pavilion, so he also handed over part of the work of making shoes to the embroidery workshop, so that Geng Xingchen can relax a lot.

Geng Xingchen, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, went to Qingcui Courtyard to talk to Geng Xingshuang, and of course the most talked about was about the second room.

"I don't know if grandfather has found out who attacked Second Uncle that night. Did Third Uncle say anything?"

The third uncle was more restrained than her father, and Geng Xingshuang thought about what he might have leaked about the attack on the Luxun River that night.

Geng Xingchen shook his head, "My father is quite concerned about the second uncle. He always scolded him before. I thought that the second uncle is like this now, and my father will definitely gloat and say something that deserves it. I didn't expect that for the second uncle's matter, he not only went out every day to find out where there is a famous doctor who can repair his tendon. Checked everywhere, but so far, nothing has been found."

Geng Xingshuang nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, the more time passed, the harder it was to find out.

Soon, May 22nd arrived, and the Liu family did not send anyone to carry Geng Xingyu. Geng Xingshuang and others breathed a sigh of relief, but according to Jin Bao's inquiring news, Geng Cheng fired again, and it was Geng Shulou who went in to persuade him.

"I heard that the second wife has moved to the East Wing, and ordered Ms. Zhang and Ms. Ni to take turns to take care of the second master. Ms. Zhang and Ms. Ni would be scolded every day, and Ms. Ni would bring some wounds every time she went there."

Jin Bao's greatest joy now is to inquire about the second room. Ms. Zhang and Miss Ni are Geng Cheng's two roommates. Yao Shi probably also knows that Geng Cheng did too much before. If Aunt Peng is asked to take care of Geng Cheng, he doesn't know what will happen, so he uses the two roommates.

Geng Xingshuang was painting. Originally, she just listened to it half-heartedly, but her hand holding the pen paused slightly when she heard this.

"You mean, Mrs. Zhang was not beaten?"

Jin Bao nodded, "That's what the little maids of Yingheyuan said. When they talked about this, some people raised doubts, saying that they might have been beaten. It's just that Miss Zhang hid it well and was not seen. But there was a little maid who served tea and said that when she went in to deliver tea every day, if Miss Ni was waiting in the room, the second master would scold her more severely. If it was Aunt Zhang, the second master would keep his face cold and silent most of the time."

"So, Second Uncle likes Aunt Zhang more?"

Geng Xingshuang had never inquired about these things in the second house before, after all, she was a niece, so why inquired about these things.

But now this incident made her a little puzzled. Her second uncle was like that, and it was really unexpected for the two roommates to watch people order dishes.

"Miss, this servant also thought it was strange, so I asked specifically. In the past, the second master treated the two through rooms similarly, but not long ago, the second master obviously preferred to go to Aunt Zhang's place."

"Not long ago?"

"A little maid did some calculations, and it was probably around the time when the third girl recognized her ancestor and returned to her clan."

Does this have anything to do with Geng Xingshui?Is it a coincidence or does it really matter?
"Girl, Luxuan came over just now and went to the wife's room." Hualian entered the room to report.

Geng Xingshuang was about to wait for Luxuan to go to the main room to ask if Mrs. Uncle wanted to do something again, so Jinzhan came and invited her to the main room.

"Mrs. Uncle said, go to Yaowang Temple tomorrow to offer incense and pray for your second uncle. Let us all go."

As soon as Geng Xingshuang entered the room, Ruan explained the purpose of Luxuan's visit to Qingcui Courtyard.

"Grandma doesn't believe that much?"

Mrs. Uncle is different from many old wives from wealthy families, she doesn't often go to the temple to offer incense, not once a year, and once in a while is at the invitation of Xiao Xia, the old lady of the Zhu family.

"I heard what Luxuan said. It was originally proposed by your fourth sister. She wanted to go to the Yaowang Temple with the third girl to offer incense and pray for your second uncle. Showing filial piety, Mrs. Uncle probably has no other choice. These days, dozens of doctors have been invited, and all the well-known doctors in Ningdu City have been invited. Now there is no need for an imperial doctor. However, given the current situation of our family, we cannot invite an imperial doctor, so we can only try to pray to the gods and Buddhas."

"A dead horse is a living horse doctor!" Geng Xingshuang blurted out.

Ruan gave her an angry look, "You can't say this outside."

"I know." Geng Xingshuang acted like a baby, "I've always been the most reliable, mother, it's not like you don't know."
