Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Usually, Doctor Shen did not want to go back home; he would rest in this small room at noon.

There was also a table in this small room. Jiang Yue, Xue Yan, and Doctor Shen sat down at this table. A child brought in a charcoal basin. The charcoal in the charcoal basin was red and placed between them to keep them warm.

Unlike the sun outside, the temperature inside was actually much lower than outside. It was a little cold.

Xiao Tong served hot tea again. Then, he retreated and closed the door of the small room. He also retreated from the consultation room and closed the door of the consultation room.

Doctor Shen placed one hand close to the charcoal brazier to warm himself, and the other hand stroked his beard as he said with a smile, “If you have any questions, just ask.”

“Thank you.” Xue Yan cupped his hands and gave a bow.

“Thank you.” Jiang Yue also thanked him.

Doctor Shen smiled and nodded.

“Doctor Shen, do you know which relatives of the Wei family lived next door to you?” Xue Yan asked.

Doctor Shen knew that they wanted to inquire about the Wei family and immediately told the truth, “The Wei family has no relatives.”

Hearing this, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue immediately looked at each other. He really didn’t have any relatives… They had thought of this possibility before. Perhaps the concubine who gave birth to Wei Zizhan did not have a paternal family, and the Wei family did not have any relatives…

“Why do they not have any relatives?” Jiang Yue asked.

Doctor Shen smiled, “The Wei family fled here because of the war. Didn’t your parents also escape here because of the war? At that time, the South was the safest place to be, so many people ran there.

“However, the Wei family had some wealth and had carriages. They escaped here earlier than your parents and could even buy a big house in the county. However, they had bad intentions later on.

“They always used their moldy food to help the poor and pretended to pose as good people. I was thrown rotten eggs by those people and couldn’t stand to stay in the county anymore, so I moved to this town.”

“Because of the Wei family, not only was the head of the house not righteous, but he was also very stingy. He only takes money in but never gives it out.

Many people privately call him a miser.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“l heard that when he escaped here, he would rather carry an extra box of valuable things in his carriage than take his relatives with him.

“As a result, his relatives could not escape so quickly and died in the war. ‘

“Coming here, the head of the house was afraid that visiting relatives would cost too much money, so whether it was to marry a wife or a concubine, they chose to buy a poor girl and did not spend much money.

“He also made the wife and concubine not have a family, so they did not need to spend money to move around.” What a stingy man…

What kind of weirdo was this…

Jiang Yue didn’t say anything and continued to listen quietly.

Xue Yan did not speak either and was also listening quietly.

Doctor Shen naturally continued speaking as he stroked his beard.

“Even when his eldest son married a wife last year, he bought that girl. At that time, his eldest son even quarreled with him. It was so noisy that my family could hear everything.

“However, in the end, because marriage has been a major event since ancient times, it is the parents’ order that becomes the final say. The eldest son had no choice but to accept his fate.

“We’re neighbors. This isn’t a secret. His servants used to chat with my servants all the time. They liked to talk about these strange things. Even if I didn’t want to know, I would naturally know after hearing more,

“Even if he had a relative in the county at that time, they would not have been unable to stay in the county and would be forced to move to the town..”
