Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 952 - 954: Don’t Blame Divine Doctor Xue

After Xue Zhiyi left, the old Zheng Family observed for several months.

Confirming that the old An Family had no ability to repay the Silver, they chose a day to come and demand the Silver. With no Silver, they took An’an as a pawn and forcibly married her off.

The old Zheng Family calculated every possible scenario, premeditating for several months, yet they didn’t foresee running into Xiaoxiao’s family of three midway, which caused the plan to fall through just like that.

Old An spoke slowly, and whenever he mentioned the death of his daughter, even as a man he couldn’t help but shed tears. An Quan, beside him, also had reddened eyes, still unable to accept his sister’s death.

The atmosphere inside the house was very sad. Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming felt very sorry because their search for Divine Doctor Xue unintentionally made this family relive the loss of their loved one.

After a moment, Old An sighed, "Alas, not accepting that Silver from Xue Zhiyi almost harmed An’an. Fortunately, we met you."

"Dad, he harmed our eldest sister, how can we accept his Silver? No matter how much he gives, we won’t take it," An’s eldest, An Quan, said angrily, blaming Xue Zhiyi entirely for An Ping’s death.

"Eldest, stop talking." Old An felt deep sorrow, then looked at Yang Ming, "Alas, child, we drove Xue Zhiyi away, so we don’t know where he is now and can’t help you. However, he truly is the publicly acclaimed Divine Doctor Xue, his token and his medical skills are genuine, he said he was working for the palace, you should try looking in Beijing."

"Uncle, it’s okay, you don’t have to blame yourself, we’ll continue searching elsewhere."

Hearing the story of Divine Doctor Xue and An Ping, Xiaoxiao wondered if Divine Doctor Xue stopping his practice was related to An Ping’s death?

Because of the rigid rules of Medicine King Valley, Divine Doctor Xue’s fiancée’s illness was delayed. Divine Doctor Xue must resent Medicine King Valley so much that he refuses to return and is wandering outside?

They came from Medicine King Valley, and none of the elders there mentioned this matter, only saying Divine Doctor Xue couldn’t have gone to Beijing.

Now Old An says Divine Doctor Xue is working for the palace and should have gone to Beijing.

Who should they believe now? Xiaoxiao was completely at a loss, feeling stuck in a deadlock, just like in the beginning, blindly fumbling around.

"Uncle, actually, you can’t entirely blame Divine Doctor Xue for this matter, it’s the fault of the rigid rules of Medicine King Valley."

Old An sighed, "Alas!"

"Uncle, An Ping’s death didn’t just affect you, Divine Doctor Xue was hit hard, too. He came joyfully to marry, only to find his bride had died. How could he bear it? How much he must blame himself for leaving, and for not leaving you that letter?"

Xiaoxiao thought this matter shouldn’t be a burden on the hearts of the An Family, so she began to speak.

"Uncle, you might not know, but there’s a rumor outside that Divine Doctor Xue no longer practices medicine and is wandering aimlessly, refusing to return to Medicine King Valley. No one knows where he is. I think he was devastated by An Ping’s death, perhaps because of the rules of Medicine King Valley and having unmatched medical skills yet being unable to save the one he loved, so he fell into despair, and that’s why we can’t find him."

Upon hearing this, Old An was full of surprise, "He stopped practicing medicine?"

Xiaoxiao nodded, "Uncle, perhaps all this is fate and can’t be blamed on Divine Doctor Xue."
