Chapter 1976: Miserable Fiancée vs. Wealthy Family’s Daughter (Part 11)
He shared his recent transformations with the old doctor.
The old doctor pondered for a moment: "Have you recently taken some kind of potent medicinal materials?"
After speaking, he shook his head.
Something with such an effect, how could it possibly exist in this little town?
Even if it did, it wouldn’t be something a common small merchant like Chang Gensheng would have.
As expected, Chang Gensheng hurriedly denied it: "Please don’t joke with me, I’m just running a small business, where would I have the spare money to buy any medicinal materials to boost my health."
The topic ultimately ended without resolution.
After being on edge for a while, Chang Gensheng finally was able to rest easy upon confirming that his health had indeed returned to a good state.
This is certainly a good thing!
Gu Shengyin observed her father’s transformation in recent days, and seeing Chang Gensheng’s anxious demeanor, she wanted to say something but couldn’t.
Say his change is related to me?
How to explain the rest of it?
The Space Spiritual Spring thing—it’s best that no one else in this world knows about it.
An existence like that is enough to attract countless people.
With the Chang Family’s capability, there’d be no way to guard it, and when the time comes, only destruction awaits the Chang Family.
Luckily, after grappling with it for some time, Chang Gensheng let it go, and Gu Shengyin could breathe a sigh of relief.
She stood up and looked at the few small pots placed on her windowsill.
The green seedlings had already grown over half a foot tall, the whole plant appears lush and vibrant, even without any flower buds; it’s still quite pleasing to the eye.
Even Chang Gensheng, upon seeing them once, had to admit that his daughter indeed nurtured the flowers well.
Gu Shengyin chuckled, how could they not thrive?
She irrigates them regularly with Spiritual Spring Water and listens to their preferences—how much to water and what’s most suitable...
She looked at these seedlings, silently saying in her heart: you all must work hard for me, whether you complete your task in the future depends on your performance.
Meanwhile, the county exam was also finally about to start at this time.
On the day before the county exam, Chang Gensheng deliberately skipped going to the shop and personally bought a lot of groceries, having Auntie Lin prepare a table full of good dishes.
Originally, there was no cook in this household; everything was managed by Uncle Yuan.
After Chang Fei started studying and preparing for the imperial exams, and his daughter grew up gradually, Chang Gensheng thought they couldn’t continue dealing with meals so carelessly, so he then hired a cook.
The meal was enjoyed happily enough.
Although Chang Gensheng’s opinion toward Chang Fei has deteriorated somewhat, he still hopes for the best for him.
After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms.
Gu Shengyin, from a distance, noticed the light in Chang Fei’s room went out early.
This was quite rare, as usually the light in Chang Fei’s room would be on until late at night.
Gu Shengyin glanced over there, her lips curving into a faint, cool smile.
Chang Fei intentionally didn’t read tonight, intending to have a good night’s rest and conserve his energy for tomorrow’s exam hall.
Before dozing off, he was still drowsily thinking that he must pass the exam as a Scholar and, hopefully, succeed against the odds in the imperial exam.
At that time, he wished Chang Gensheng would regret not marrying his daughter to him!
He slowly drifted off to sleep.
And then...
The next day, Chang Fei was startled awake.
He just felt like he’d experienced an extremely terrifying dream all night.
But now that he tries to recall exactly what he dreamt, he couldn’t articulate it, only the feeling of extreme darkness and oppression from the dream still lingered in his heart.
