Luo Jin’an pulled Su Binglan back, and she turned to look at him. She realized he looked more severe than usual and knew he had something important to say.
Su Binglan blinked and asked softly, “What is it?”
“Mohen’s surname is Shen.” Luo Jin’an looked at his wife deeply.
Su Binglan thought nothing of it and nodded, saying, “l know. I heard it when he introduced himself.’
She had also met him when Lan Ruozhu came to Teng County. Su Binglan was grateful to Shen Mohen because he had looked after Lan Ruozhu. Lan Ruozhu would not have survived for so long if it were not for him.
Su Binglan realized something when her husband emphasized Shen Mohen’s surname. After all, her mother shared the same surname—Shen Qiuhua.
‘Is my mother and Shen Mohen related somehow? Otherwise, Jin’an wouldn’t have said such a thing for no reason, right?’
“My mother shares the same surname. Are they related?” Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an. She became wide-eyed when she realized the two might be related. She wondered if her mother knew about it.
Shen Mohen was a disciple of the Legendary Medicine Valley and the heir to the Shen family.
‘The Shen family is one of the six great families. Does that make my mother one of them? Such an identity is honorable, but it would complicate things.’
Although Shen Qiuhua and Shen Mohen shared the same surname, Shen Qiuhua had never mentioned anything about the Shen family.
“Yes,” Luo Jin’an nodded and said, “The head of the Shen family had an elder sister, but she died when they were children, or so everyone thought. The man kept looking for his sister, and Shen Mohen looked for his aunt.
“According to the information I received, your mother is likely the elder sister to the Shen family’s head. That means she’s Shen Mohen’s aunt.”
This information shocked Su binglan. She had always thought her mother was ordinary and never expected her to have such an outstanding identity.
“I don’t think that’s true since my maternal grandparents live in Hua County’s
Blossom Village. It’s far from here, and my mother rarely returns.”
Luo Jin’an asked, “How does your grandmother treat your mother?”
Su Binglan recalled her memories and said, “My maternal grandmother treats my mother well, but my aunt and uncle there don’t. My aunt has a terrible personality and doesn’t want my mother around.
“My mother often gets someone to send them things but seldom goes to Blossom Village.”
Su Binglan knew little about her maternal grandmother, but her mother sometimes returned there alone during New Year.
“l heard my parents discussing it before. My mother wanted to live far from Blossom Village because of some matters my maternal grandmother faced. My mother happened to meet my father in Teng County and married him.
Then she stayed in Su Teng Village permanently since it’s far from Hua
County. My mother only goes there once a year.”
After some thought, Su Binglan continued, “Still, many people have the Shen surname. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence. Why didn’t my mother say anything if she was a member of one of the six great families?”
Su Binglan looked at her mother’s simple appearance and thought she did not seem like a young lady from a noble family.
While the couple talked, Shen Mohen and Yue Huachen arrived at the door. Su
Wenxiu shouted, “Sister, someone’s here! They’re looking for you!’
Su Binglan told Luo Jin’an, “Let’s go and take a look first. Perhaps it’s just a coincidence that they share the same surname.”
However, she knew Luo Jin’an must have found some proof and was almost confident of the information before telling his wife about it. Otherwise, he would not have said anything.
Su Binglan had to consider it carefully and did not plan to tell her mother about it yet.
When the couple arrived at the door, Shen Mohen trembled when he saw Luo
Jin’an.
‘Y-Young Marshal Wei?!’ He almost exclaimed in surprise.
‘Young Marshal Wei is with Miss Su(! They’re husband and wife(!’ Shen Mohen was amazed.
However, he quickly understood their relationship when he recalled Su Binglan’s medical skills. He thought Teng County was full of surprises.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an welcome Shen Mohen and Yue Huachen into the house. Then the couple brought the duo to the guest room, which Su Binglan had gotten someone to clean.
Her heart pounded when she looked at Yue Huachen’s appearance. The once gentle and otherworldly youth had become haggard, and his initially spirited eyes were lifeless.
Su Binglan also knew he could no longer see.
“My master in Legendary Medicine Valley can’t do anything about Huachen’s eyes,” Shen Mohen said, “The poison they used was potent, and we don’t have a cure for it. Huachen won’t live much longer if we can’t cure his eyes.”
Shen Mohen was distraught.
Su Binglan asked, “Does your master know how the Imperial Palace obtained such poisons that even a master from the Legendary Medicine Valley can’t cure?”
‘Jin’an’s cold poison might’ve come from the same faction. Who can develop such potent poisons?’
Shen Mohen replied, “My master said it must be someone who betrayed the Legendary Medicine Valley. That person took some of the Valleys poison scriptures.
“The fire from long ago burned many of the Valleys medical books, so we have trouble curing some poisons. Can you cure Huachen’s eyes from its poison,
Miss Su?”
Shen Mohen knew Lan Ruozhu had recovered fully. The former was shocked when he received the news. Even his master could not cure Lan Ruozhu, but Su Binglan succeeded so quickly.
Shen Mohen was in disbelief and admired Su Binglan’s skills. Therefore, he was polite and respectful whenever he spoke to Su Binglan. He still wanted to exchange medical knowledge with Su Binglan.
He looked at the young lady and felt a sense of familiarity, but he did not know why. He suspected it might be because of Su Binglan’s extraordinary medical skills.
Meanwhile, Su Binglan had not noticed Shen Mohen’s appearance before. But after a closer look, she realized he looked somewhat like her mother and second brother, Su Wenxiu.
‘Are they blood relatives?’
Su Binglan studied Shen Mohen before retracting her gaze, saying, “This poison is elementary. I can cure him.”
Yue Huachen’s poison differed from Luo Jin’an’s cold poison, but the former’s was much more straightforward.
Shen Mohen was still shocked when Su Binglan said she could quickly solve it. “Miss Su, may I ask, where did you get your medical skills from?”
‘The person who betrayed the Legendary Medicine Valley only knows how to poison but not detoxify, so Miss Su l s medical skills must not have come from there.
‘However, the medical and poison scriptures come from the first ancestors. It was said that the first ancestor was a gorgeous woman.. Could that ancestor have other successors? Did Miss Su inherit the first ancestor’s medical skills?’
