The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter. Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed? Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money. Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

Chapter 692: A Fortuitous Encounter with Xu Guiren

Lady Sheng raised her eyebrows and said, "Ah, it's you. I've heard of you, you've achieved great success in Lingnan, and the Emperor has awarded you the title of Divine Doctor. I heard that you also treated the Empress Dowager's leg, is that true?"

Gu Youyou couldn't help but want to facepalm; Lady Sheng's way of talking was truly tiring. Did she really not know, or was she pretending not to know? And she had heard?

Everyone in the Imperial Palace knew about her treating the Empress Dowager's leg ailment; she had visited the Imperial Palace several times and often encountered other concubines paying respects to the Empress Dowager. The only one she had never seen was Lady Sheng.

At the Empress's birthday feast, the other concubines were also there, but just like Madam Ru, Lady Sheng claimed to be ill and did not attend.

Gu Youyou, with downcast eyes, responded, "It was indeed I who treated her."
