The poisonous fish incident had affected the entire Qiu Ming Dynasty. Once Grandpa Yaba Yaba was cured of his illness, he not only became a famous miracle doctor in eight villages across ten miles, but also became a hero of the imperial court.

An imperial doctor came from afar to discuss medical skills with Grandpa Yaba Yaba. The imperial doctor touched his goatee and asked, “I wonder, old sir, who do you study under?”

Grandpa Yaba was frightened and sweating profusely. Shan Yu answered for him: “My teacher was born in the mountains. He can’t speak and can’t read. He only knows some herbal medicines from a wandering doctor he followed when he was young. He can usually treat the villagers’ headaches and fever, but he can’t do much. This time, it’s just a coincidence he could save some people.”

It had been a while since Shan Yu transmigrated. While his soul was stable, his personal temperament had also changed a lot.

For Wan Qiu who ate and lived with him every day, the shuanger didn’t feel much change except a kinder Shan Yu. However, the imperial doctor went in and out of the palace and met countless princes and generals. Seeing that Shan Yu behaved appropriately and had extraordinary bearing, he praised Grandpa Yaba: “The old man has taught you well, with this attitude you will be successful in the future.”

Grandpa Yaba could not understand the imperial doctor’s sophisticated words and was in panic, then he heard from the official that the emperor summoned him to the capital to treat the Empress Dowager, thus Grandpa Yaba rolled his eyes and fainted from fright.

This…. This… the crime of deceiving the emperor! The crime of deceiving the emperor was a grave sin and would be punished by death! Grandpa Yaba couldn’t bear the stimulation anymore.

Shan Yu was also a little panicked. He didn’t want to risk his life for a golden rice bowl* in this feudal society where imperial power was supreme.

[Golden rice bowl: prosperity]

Shan Yu talked to the imperial doctor, gave him all the credit, in turn he got a hundred taels of gold.

No matter how great his contribution in curing the diseases and saving lives, Grandpa Yaba and Shan Yu were just an ordinary villager. To be able to cure the royalty would be a curse instead of a blessing.

But if the credit for this matter was given to those who were officials, the other party could benefit from it and they also could get some from the official.

Shan Yu analyzed the pros and cons very clearly. He saved the gold ingots in his hand and left some silver to take Wan Qiu shopping with him.

Although many people had sent a lot of gifts these days, most of them were foods. He had to buy other things, such as quilts and winter coats.

.

It was Shan Yu’s first time visiting the market here. Although everything he saw seemed strange, he still looked calm on his face.

Shan Yu and Wan Qiu walked back and forth, and Shan Yu noticed Wan Qiu keeping his head down, evasive and helpless. He said a little strangely: “We are shopping, not thieves, why are you always lowering your head?”

Wan Qiu subconsciously raised his eyes, but after noticing the looks from the people around him, he hurriedly covered the palm-sized fiery red birthmark on his forehead with his hands and lowered his head even more.

He felt ugly and had low self-esteem. This was his first time on such a busy street, feeling that everyone was looking at him, laughing at him, and talking about him. He felt out of place, embarrassed, and couldn’t hold his head high.

Shan Yu probably understood the sensitive points in Wan Qiu’s heart.

While reaching out to hold him, he gently raised Wan Qiu’s chin to look at it, and said with a smile: “I am your husband, you are mine, you only need to listen to me and look at me. That’s all. You don’t have to care what others think? I don’t dislike you. Why do you care so much about other people’s opinions? Besides, we don’t know them. The more you lower your head and dodge, the more attention you attract…”

Shan Yu’s voice was particularly gentle and pleasant.

Wan Qiu’s ears couldn’t help but turn red, and he asked a little shyly: “Husband, if I look like this…will it embarrass you?”

Note:

Grandpa Yaba was scared of lying to the emperor, because he wasn’t the one who cured the poisoned. It was Shan Yu but Shan Yu didn’t want to admit it.
