using his absolute strength to cure the difficult and miscellaneous illnesses of countless powerful people!

His reputation as a divine physician became increasingly solidified.

Therefore, Jia Lan had no doubts about Hua Tuo's strength,

but he did not see that Li Wan was lying.

He left with Jia Jun and the others, feeling relieved.

Upon learning they were going to the Wushuang Bo mansion, Xu Si Zhun said to his little friends with a bit of pride: "Going to my godfather's house, I'm familiar with that, come, I'll be responsible for leading the way!"

【545】 Terrible, the affair was discovered! Suyun offers a plan for Li Wan

"Come to the Wushuang Bo mansion, I'll teach you how to play war chess."

"If there's a chance, I might even let you see his old man, my foster father! Hehe!"

As Jia Hui's first godson,

Xu Si Zhun had the seniority.

Moreover, he often went to the Wushuang Bo mansion with Yuanniang,

so it was perfectly normal for him to act this way.

When mentioning Jia Hui, Xu Si Zhun was full of pride!

Jia Lan nodded and smiled in response: "Okay, then let's go quickly."

He knew the Wushuang Bo mansion was very large,

now even larger than the Rongguo Fu.

And there were many fresh things there.

He had seen the Rubik's cube that Jia Hui had gifted to Xu Si Zhun,

as well as toys like Transformers.

He had even taught Xu Si Zhun how to play war chess.

Therefore,

Jia Lan was already very envious in his heart that Xu Si Zhun had such an excellent foster father like Jia Hui,

and he also longed for the Wushuang Bo mansion very much.

And Jia Jun and Xu Si Yu were also very envious of Xu Si Zhun.

Xu Si Yu was the same, having a father was the same as not having one.

Jia Jun simply didn't have one, just like Jia Lan.

So they were all very envious that Xu Si Zhun had a foster father who was world-renowned and also very good to him as a child.

"We're going too."

"Let's go, let's go, hurry."

Jia Jun and Xu Si Yu were both extroverted, immediately shouting excitedly.

Then the four of them went together in high spirits, heading toward the Wushuang Bo mansion.

Seeing this,

Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if Jia Lan asked too much,

and her strangeness was detected, she would have no face to see her son.

It was just that the little imps were settled,

but Lou Shi was staring straight at her, sizing her up.

Jia Lan and Jia Jun were the same age.

Lou Shi and Li Wan were also the same age.

And she was also a beauty, with a face of a beautiful woman with moon-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, and fragrant skin like jade.

A standard beauty.

Only compared to Li Wan, Lou Shi was clearly fuller, and through her dress, she was like a lazy cat.

After she blinked her eyes, she probed: "Gongcai, are you sick?"

Gongcai was Li Wan's courtesy name.

Only those who were extremely close knew it.

This was very unusual.

One had to know, from the Song Dynasty onwards, it was emphasized that a woman's lack of talent was a virtue.

Most women didn't even have names, let alone courtesy names.

Even those like Jia Yuan Chun and Xue Baochai didn't have their own courtesy names.

Yet this Li Wan seemed like a scholar, and even had her own courtesy name before Jia Hui.

From this, it could be seen that her knowledge was extraordinary.

And in the Red Chamber, everyone's courtesy name had a very profound meaning.

They were not taken randomly.

These two characters actually meant that when Li Wan was young, she was actually like Jia Yuan Chun, originally intending to become a female official.

Unfortunately, Li Wan failed the selection.

The final meaning was that Li Wan was a woman who was screened out by the imperial palace and was not selected to enter the palace.

Since she participated in the selection of imperial concubines, she must have been both virtuous and talented.

Therefore, Li Wan was able to pass the old lady's discerning eyes back then, her appearance must have been quite good, and she married into the Jia family.

As an old friend, Li Wan immediately knew that the other party had seen something.

She secretly cried out that it was bad.

"It's nothing, it is indeed a bit of a cold."

Li Wan said awkwardly.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you, the matter has been handled."

"Jia Jun can directly enroll in the Wushuang School!"

To change the subject, she hurriedly stated the matter.

Sure enough, Lou Shi, who was also most nervous about her son, was successfully distracted.

She was overjoyed: "Thank you, Gongcai, thanks to you, otherwise we mother and son wouldn't know what to do."

Happily, she stepped forward and grabbed Li Wan's hand, shaking it gratefully a few times.

"How did you do it? I heard from others that pleading for others didn't work, no matter what status or official rank, one could only enter by passing the assessment. I originally only looked for you as a last resort, I didn't expect it to really succeed."

After speaking, she was startled.

Looking at Li Wan's face,

and associating it with what just happened,

her beautiful eyes widened, "You, don't tell me!"

If it weren't for the sake of Fengjie and Madame Wang,

she wouldn't have dared to think too much.

But having these two precedents,

her beautiful eyes widened, and she was convinced without a doubt!

"I, I didn't!"

Li Wan's jade face instantly became as bright as fire, her earlobes even blushing and dripping, and the cherry blossom earrings on them swayed gently.

She denied it flatly.

However, her appearance of "there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here"

could deceive children,

but it couldn't deceive Lou Shi.

Lou Shi murmured with heartache: "It's been hard on you, it must be for us mother and son that you sacrificed so much."
