CHAPTER 618: CHAPTER 618: FINALLY FREE

After helping to treat the Chen family’s little granddaughter’s wound, Old Mrs. Chen didn’t stay long and left awkwardly, saying, "I have some worrying matters to deal with at home, so I’ll take the child back first."

Old Mrs. Tong and Granny Zhang understood Old Mrs. Chen’s feelings very well. They would often sit together and chat or go grocery shopping. Now that such a thing happened in the Chen family, Old Mrs. Chen naturally felt embarrassed.

After they left, Xinyan tidied up a bit and said, "You guys chat, I’m going over to my mentor’s place."

Granny Zhang handed over an umbrella: "Take it so the snow doesn’t get on your clothes."

Xinyan smiled as she took it: "I’ll listen to Granny."

Actually, in these times, it’s really rare to go out with an umbrella on a snowy day.

Because the snow was getting heavier, Xinyan didn’t ride her bicycle.

When she got to her mentor’s house, her mentor’s wife, Cheng Liying, immediately brought over a small bowl of ginger syrup: "Yanyan, quick, have a bowl of ginger syrup to ward off the chill."

Xinyan did not refuse: "Thank you, Master’s wife."

She had been busy these past few days and hadn’t had the chance to visit her senior sister: "Master, has my senior sister’s issue been resolved?"

Mr. Du’s face suddenly turned cold at the mention of what had happened a few days ago: "Yes, it’s been handled."

Xinyan noticed her mentor’s expression and knew something else must have happened: "Did something happen in the middle?"

After Ling Keke’s incident, Xinyan and the others did not hide anything from their mentor and his wife, afraid they’d be left in the dark and tricked by the Meng Family.

But they really didn’t expect that after Ling Keke’s incident, Mother Meng’s attitude would change and she would urge her son to reconcile with Shen Guqing.

Senior sister is a person with pride ingrained in her bones, and she had long given up on Meng Yifei; how could she possibly agree?

As a result, Mother Meng actually approached the Du Family, saying that rather destroy ten temples than ruin a marriage, wanting the Du couple to persuade their apprentice, with an incredibly arrogant attitude.

Mr. Du was not having it, but before he could speak, Shen Guqing came to visit the elderly couple.

The moment Mother Meng saw her, she started putting on airs as a mother-in-law again.

Seeing her behave like that, Shen Guqing directly said, "In the past, I accommodated you in everything because your son and I were married. Now, as you wished, your son and I are getting a divorce. You should save your strength to put on airs with your next daughter-in-law.

I don’t even want your son, so naturally, a soon-to-be former mother-in-law like you is nothing."

These words were so blunt they sent Mother Meng into a shaking fury: "You, you, you are simply unreasonable, there will come a time when you regret this."

After saying that, she didn’t want to stay a minute longer. She glared at Shen Guqing, then left, holding back her anger, to bid farewell to the old Du couple.

Afterwards, Mother Meng also sought out the Shen Family people, but now Shen Guqing, supported by her mentor and senior brothers, sisters, and junior brothers and sisters, was beyond the Shen Family’s control, and they had to give up.

After discussing Shen Guqing’s wishes, Mr. Du had his eldest apprentice Ma Chengxi find Meng Yifei, and whatever they discussed was only known to them.

Thus, the marriage between Shen Guqing and Meng Yifei came to an end, considered a relief.

After hearing this, Xinyan commented, "With such a mother and sister, Meng Yifei might just be like this for the rest of his life. Unless he finds a woman without her own thoughts who depends on the Meng family for a living, no one who marries him will have a long-lasting marriage."

Mrs. Du took the small bowl from Xinyan’s hands: "Enough, from now on we have nothing more to do with the Meng Family. When you see your senior sister, don’t bring up the Meng Family people or issues again. It’s getting late, hurry to class now."

Mentor and student went into the study, where Mr. Du tested Xinyan a bit first. Seeing she hadn’t slacked off these past few days, he then took out the case files he had prepared to explain to her.

After an hour and a half, Mr. Du packed up the materials: "Yanyan, next Saturday I’ll be seeing a patient at an old friend’s place, this time you should come along, clear your schedule."

Xinyan was quite excited upon hearing this: "Master, got it."

Seeing her happiness, Mr. Du also smiled. This youngest apprentice of his was truly favored by the heavens; when it came to medicine, no matter the aspect, she grasped it in no time, and now she just needed more practical experience.
