The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Chapter 224: 224. Female General and New Recruit

Translator: 549690339

On the first night back in the capital city, Su Liang slept fairly well.

It rained in the latter half of the night, stopping by morning. Due to the damp ground, Su Liang, who usually got up early for morning practice, decided to give up after taking a glance outside and went back to bed for a nap.

Gu Ling was staying next door, in Ning Jing’s original room, although someone had died there last month.

When Su Liang woke up again, she heard Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing talking in the courtyard.

“Now that Little Sister Su is back, let’s move in today. It will be easier for us to take care of her.”

“Okay. As you wish.”

“Will grandmother be unhappy?

“No, she won’t. I already told her before getting married, and she knows.”

“Why don’t we talk to Little Sister Su about moving into her house? This place is large, and she’s all alone. Sigh.”

“But Su Liang doesn’t seem to like getting too close to anyone besides Ning

Jing… I shouldn’t have mentioned it. Xueqing, don’t cry. When Su Liang sees you, she will feel sad too.”

“I’m fine. It’s just that when I think of Elder Brother Ning, my heart aches. If he were still here, he and Little Sister Su would be married now, and we wouldn’t have to worry about them. But that would have been better…”

Su Liang listened to their conversation outside, which eventually became quieter and quieter before falling silent. Then she got up and made some noise. Soon, Lin Xueqing knocked on the door, “Little Sister Su, are you awake?” “Yes, just give me a moment.” Su Liang responded.

After Su Liang had tidied up and opened the door, she was hugged by Lin Xueqing. “Little Sister Su, you’re finally back! I was really afraid that you were hiding somewhere and would never see us again!”

Lin Xueqing’s voice was muffled, so Su Liang patted her back gently. “How could that be? I said I was coming back, and I won’t break my promise.”

Lin Xueqing let go of Su Liang, looked at her solemnly, and said, “Then promise me that from now on, even without Elder Brother Ning, you’ll live a good life. ”

Su Liang nodded, “Of course. I want to live a happy life and infuriate those despicable beings who can’t stand the light of day.”

Upon hearing this. Xing Yusheng blurted out. “He’s gone missing!”

He assumed that the “despicable beings” in Su Liang’s words referred to the Eldest Prince, Duanmu Cheng.

And he believed that Duanmu Cheng was the mastermind behind Ning Jing’s murder.

Su Liang held Lin Xueqing’s hand, let go, and walked outside. “I know. The

Emperor sent someone to find me and bring me back.”

Xing Yusheng’s expression changed slightly, “No wonder you went to the palace after returning to the capital. Does the Emperor suspect that you have something to do with Duanmu Cheng’s disappearance?”

As soon as he said this, Xing Yusheng thought that perhaps Su Liang really was involved in this matter. It would be even better if she was the one who captured Duanmu Cheng, making him unable to live or die.

Su Liang nodded, “Correct.”

Lin Xueqing frowned, “Little Sister Su was in Xunyang City at the time, how could she be related to that matter?”

Su Liang snorted lightly, “Indeed, I am.”

Her words immediately made Xing Yusheng look around, fearing that the walls might have ears.

Then he heard Su Liang continue, “I cursed him every day for something bad to happen, and it eventually did. It can only be said that justice is served, and retribution is inevitable.”

Xing Yusheng held his forehead, “He only disappeared, maybe he’ll come back someday. ”

Su Liang’s expression was indifferent, “That’s not too bad either.”

Hearing Su Liang’s hidden meaning, Xing Yusheng sighed, “Let’s not talk about those unfortunate people anymore. Xueqing, you made breakfast for Su Liang.

It’s still warm, let her eat first.”

“Oh right, I almost forgot!” Lin Xueqing hurriedly led Su Liang to the kitchen, “You can go fishing in the garden, dear. I’ll just keep company with Sister Su!” Xing Yusheng: … He knew this would happen.

“Aren’t you moving in? I’ll take Ajun next door to tidy up,” said Xing Yusheng.

Lin Xueqing still asked Su Liang, “Sister Su, how about I move in with you and we live together? I can cook anything you want! It’s not like I have anything important to do.”

Xing Yusheng: … Isn’t it important to keep him company?

As Xing Yusheng expected, Su Liang gracefully declined, “No, I don’t want to watch you two show off your love every day. It would be a huge blow to me.”

Lin Xueqing suddenly became somewhat melancholic, “Sister Su, you must like

Brother Ning after all. I knew it.”

Su Liang: … She’s just joking to lighten the mood, but “Ning Jing” is dead, so there’s no need to deny it.

Su Liang changed the subject by saying she was hungry.

Lin Xueqing gave up the idea of moving in with Su Liang and quickly served her porridge.

After scooping out a bowl, Lin Xueqing looked at the leftovers in the pot and sighed softly, “When I cooked this, I didn’t think of anything. I just made it for you and Brother Ning, but he can never eat this again…”

Su Liang thought, very good, someone will enjoy his breakfast now.

After washing and brushing up, Su Liang told Lin Xueqing, “Why don’t you go and move in with your husband? The sooner you move in, the better, otherwise

I won’t have a place to eat.”

In fact, Su Liang just wanted to distract Lin Xueqing and avoid wasting the extra breakfast she had made.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xueqing naturally agreed immediately, lifting her skirt and running off to catch up with Xing Yusheng.

Su Liang served two portions of breakfast and brought them back to the room, then knocked on the wall next door, “Great God, are you there?”

A moment later, Gu Ling, who had tidied himself up and changed his appearance, appeared in Su Liang’s room.

“Xueqing made this, ” said Su Liang. “But there’s a problem. If they really move in, I won’t be able to bring you with me when I go and freeload food. It’s a waste of effort on single portions. I have to leave very early for military training tomorrow, and I’ll have to eat lunch at the camp. It would be better to stay in the military camp to avoid running back and forth every day.”

Gu Ling didn’t say anything; he finished an egg pancake and took away another one meant for Su Liang.

Su Liang’s outstretched chopsticks caught nothing, and she was somewhat speechless, “If you’re unhappy, just say it, don’t steal my pancake.”

Gu Ling ate gracefully without speaking.

The two had known each other for nearly a year and had a well-established pattern of daily life. Su Liang was responsible for cooking and Gu Ling for preparing and assisting with tasks such as chopping vegetables and kneading dough, especially dumpling making.

However, with Su Liang no longer cooking, their routine would be disrupted. Gu Ling’s inability to openly appear would also have a significant impact.

For breakfast, Su Liang only got a bowl of porridge and a couple of bites of side dishes. The rest was taken by Gu Ling.

Just as Su Liang was about to argue with him, Gu Ling said, “Someone will surely invite you to lunch.”

Su Liang froze for a moment. That’s true. She had just returned to the capital and had only met Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing so far. However, Gu Ling couldn’t find food if he didn’t go out.

“Alright,” Su Liang nodded. “Actually, you can go to the restaurant.”

Gu Ling shook his head slightly, “I’m not used to it.”

Su Liang rolled her eyes at him, “Just say you want me to cook for you.”

Gu Ling nodded gently, saying, “I do.”

Su Liang stood up, shaking her head, “I was just thinking about whether you would go hungry without food. I apologize. I shouldn’t have assumed that Great God, you were a big baby and couldn’t survive without me. I thought too much.”

Gu Ling wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, “I can’t move around outside.” “I believe nothing can stop you,” Su Liang said.

Before the dishes were cleaned up, they heard footsteps outside. Su Liang’s expression turned serious, and Gu Ling had already entered the inner room.

She had just hidden Gu Ling’s dishes when Lin Bojun’s voice came from outside, “Xiaoliang, are you in?”

Su Liang opened the door and went out. “Second Brother Lin, didn’t you go to the military camp today?”

Lin Bojun looked more mature after getting married. His clothes were more exquisite, and his handsome appearance was even more remarkable.

“Today is my day off. I accompanied Yu Jin to her parents’ house, and Grandfather asked me to invite you over.” He looked at Su Liang, “Seeing your complexion is okay, I’m relieved.”

Old Master Qin’s invitation did not surprise Su Liang. “Is Grandfather Qin in good health?”

Lin Bojun nodded, “He’s doing great. There’s an exam at the Imperial College today, so my father couldn’t make it. Otherwise, he would have come to see you.”

All three children of the Lin family had married, and Lin Shuzhi was now teaching at the Imperial College, living a fulfilling life.

Su Liang was originally thinking that it was Lin Family who would call her, but it ended up being the Qin Family, which was not much different. She assumed that Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing would also go over there.

“Second Brother Lin, go back first. I’ll go over later.” Su Liang said, “I returned late last night, and there’s still some cleaning up to do at home.”

Lin Bojun frowned, hesitated for a moment, and still asked, “Could I talk to you?”

Su Liang nodded and invited Lin Bojun to sit down in the courtyard. “Second

Brother Lin, just speak up. There’s no one else here.”

Lin Bojun sighed deeply, “I just want to ask you if Ajing really died?”

Su Liang was not too surprised, because Lin Bojun knew that “Ning Jing” was not a weak scholar and that “Ning Jing” had followed Su Liang to Xuanbei City. So, he couldn’t believe that “Ning Jing” died so suddenly.

He hadn’t asked earlier because there were too many people around, and as soon as Su Liang returned to the capital, she quickly sent Ning Jing’s body to Xunyang City and couldn’t find an opportunity.

Su Liang nodded, “Ning Jing really died.”

Lin Bojun’s eyes dimmed, and he bitterly smiled, “I shouldn’t have asked, but it’s better to know, so I won’t have unrealistic thoughts anymore.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Bojun stood up, “I’ll go first. You don’t have to hurry, just come over before noon.”

Seeing Su Liang nod, Lin Bojun left with big strides.

Watching his figure disappear, Su Liang sighed softly. The truth was that the real Ning Jing had died long ago, without avenging his family and without regaining the Ning Family. He didn’t even have a chance to see his beloved girl again, dying with hatred…

Nowadays, some secrets can’t be spoken or shouldn’t be spoken.

Su Liang sat quietly for a while, then got up and went back to her room. Seeing that Gu Ling was not there, she ignored him, washed the dishes, changed her clothes, and checked the neighboring room. Gu Ling was still not there, so she left alone and went to Xing Mansion next to the Su Mansion.

Qi Jun was watering the flowers. Seeing Su Liang, he immediately called Xing

Yusheng and Lin Xueqing, “Master, Madam, Miss Su is here!”

Su Liang looked at the cozy little home that Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing had carefully created.

Lin Xueqing ran over and took Su Liang’s arm, “Second Brother was just here. He asked us to go to Grandfather’s house later!”

The “grandfather” Lin Xueqing mentioned was the same as the “grandfather” mentioned by Lin Bojun: Old Master Qin.

“I’ll go too,” Su Liang said. “I just came to see you first.”

Lin Xueqing then showed Su Liang around the house, happily accepting the praise.

Su Liang casually asked about how Xing Yusheng’s siblings were doing and if they had been bullying Lin Xueqing.

Lin Xueqing shook her head, “They don’t dare to bully me. I’m not someone to be taken lightly!”

Upon hearing this, Su Liang knew something was wrong, or else there would be no need to say the latter part.

Seeing Su Liang frown, Lin Xueqing quickly explained, “Really, no one is bullying me. It’s just that I don’t like talking to some of them. Their words are full of twists and turns, and I can’t understand them.”

Su Liang guessed that Lin Xueqing might have been talking about Miao Family.

But with Xing’s Old Madame and Xing Yusheng around, and considering Lin Xueqing’s gentle but firm character, there shouldn’t be much to worry about. Besides, the couple would soon move out and live on their own.

Before noon, Su Liang went with Lin Xueqing and Xing Yusheng to Duke Qin’s Mansion, where she met Qin Yujin and was greeted warmly.

Old Master Qin was in good spirits. Seeing Su Liang, he brought out the gift he had won for her in a fishing bet with another nobleman in the capital city, a medical book that Su Liang loved very much.

Su Liang gladly accepted and thanked Old Master Qin.

In the afternoon, Su Liang bid farewell and left the Qin Mansion alone to go home.

On horseback, she was quickly recognized by people. The news of Su Liang’s return to the capital had spread throughout the city that day. Then rumors began to spread, saying that Su Liang’s appearance had deteriorated due to her fiancé’s death, and she was lonely and desolate. It seemed that this kind of parting-and-death drama was more satisfying to the audience.

Ignoring the gossip, Su Liang practiced swordsmanship alone after she returned home. In the evening, Qi Jun personally sent dinner and said that Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing would move in tomorrow. Also, Old Madame Xing missed Su Liang and invited her to visit when she had time.

Su Liang said that she would go to the military camp to train troops tomorrow and would visit the Old Madame when she had a day off. Then she let Qi Jun leave.

Although the dinner was for Su Liang alone, there were several dishes and more than one type of main course. It was too much for her to eat alone, but just right for two people.

It wasn’t until Su Liang had set up the meal that Gu Ling finally reappeared.

“Where have you been?” Su Liang asked.

Gu Ling was rarely mysterious, “I had something to do.”

“Can’t you let me know?” Su Liang asked curiously.

Gu Ling nodded, “No.”

Su Liang: .

After dinner, Su Liang discussed with Gu Ling, “I’ll stay at the military camp tomorrow. You can go do whatever you want, just don’t let me know.”

Gu Ling nodded slightly, “Okay.”

Su Liang hesitated for a moment, feeling that something was wrong. “Great God, the basis of our cooperation is honesty. If you are like this, we can’t continue.”

After a moment of silence, Gu Ling said, “I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

“Alright,” Su Liang didn’t ask further. “Since you promised, then I’ll move to the military camp tomorrow.”

Before going to bed that night, Su Liang told Gu Ling two stories as usual.

Early the next morning, Su Liang got up, made some simple food, packed her luggage, and rode out of the city towards the military camp.

Lin Bojun knew that Su Liang was coming to manage the training and had arranged a place for her to rest, but he didn’t expect that she would stay overnight.

As Su Liang put down her luggage and followed Lin Bojun to watch the soldiers’ training, she saw a group of new recruits passing by in the distance and stopped to salute them. Among them was a man with an outstanding appearance…

Su Liang’s eyes narrowed, and the man was also looking at her.

“Xiaoliang, these new recruits are under your command,” Lin Bojun said.

Su Liang nodded, “That’s great, I’ll train them well..”
