Doctor Du harbored the thought that there was no need for him to be more anxious than the emperor, but then again, he wasn’t a eunuch, was he?
Doctor Du had no methods left for his own grandson and thought to come back the next day to persuade him. However, the next morning at six o’clock, Pei Yicheng was already neatly dressed, sitting in the yard reading a book.
If one could ignore that wheelchair, his grandson’s handsome appearance and dignified aura were unmatched in the entirety of Gaoliang County.
In Doctor Du’s heart, his grandson was a dragon among men, the most outstanding of all.
It was just unfortunate that due to an accident, his grandson could no longer stand up again.
Doctor Du restrained the pity in his eyes. He thought that his grandson’s legs must be curable. For the past six months, he had been scouring various medical texts, hoping to find a way to heal Pei Yicheng’s legs.
The girl Nianhua from the Xu Family was very good. When she smiled, it was incredibly sweet, almost as if her smile could make one forget all unpleasantness.
He thought if his grandson really took her to heart, for the sake of Nianhua, he might be more cooperative with the treatment, right?
"Yicheng, let’s go have a drink early today," Doctor Du, fearing Pei Yicheng might not go, had Ling Dong carry him onto the carriage right after breakfast.
"Why so cooperative today?"
Doctor Du was surprised at how cooperative Pei Yicheng was being. When Ling Dong ran back to fetch the wheelchair, hearing Doctor Du’s muttered words, he grinned and said, "Doctor Du, Brother Cheng had already planned to go to the wedding feast."
That little rascal, to think he had spent half the night wondering what excuse to use to convince Pei Yicheng to go if he was unwilling, only to find out he had already decided to go to the Xu Family’s today?
Consequently, the party of three arrived at the Xu Family’s home before seven o’clock.
"Please come inside quickly."
Xu Nian’an invited Ling Dong inside, but Ling Dong mentioned that Doctor Du and Pei Yicheng had also come.
Consequently, Pei Yicheng made his appearance at the Xu Family’s home, sitting in his wheelchair.
The Xu Family’s dilapidated house was even older than what Pei Yicheng had imagined. Even though festive red wedding scrolls hung everywhere, and the character for happiness was placed all around, full of jubilation, it still could not conceal the shabbiness of the house.
The helping aunts from the Cai Family and others all sized up this person who came by carriage, wondering when Xu Nian’an had made the acquaintance of such wealthy people.
"Mom and Dad, this is Doctor Du, and this is his grandson, Pei Yicheng," Xu Nian’an introduced, and Xu Qinghe and Ji Ying instantly recognized who they were.
Weren’t they the saviors who had saved their daughter?
Their gaze fell on Pei Yicheng’s legs, indeed as their son had described, outstanding in appearance, but pity about those legs.
Xu Qinghe had the good intention of offering Pei Yicheng some words of consolation, but was glared at by Ji Ying, who made him realize he might be highlighting someone’s sore spot.
"Uncle, Auntie, it doesn’t matter. I’ve had this leg injury for quite some time, but I’m sure I can be healed," said Pei Yicheng as his gaze landed on Xu Nianhua, who had just walked out. As usual, she wore a plain grey shirt and pants. Her slender figure and that palm-sized face, with eyes shining brightly, made the most ordinary clothes shimmer with elegance on her.
"Doctor Du," Xu Nianhua greeted with a smile, placing the tray of fruit she was carrying onto the table.
After everyone got to know each other, Doctor Du also stated his intention for the visit. Besides joining the wedding feast, the car they had driven could be used to pick up the bride, and they even had a driver ready.
