In the afternoon, Qin Zhao sorted and packed the medicinal herbs he bought from the town.

Now that money is not as tight as before, he tries to buy more medicinal herbs every time to avoid having to go to town all the time.

Jing Li leaned over the table and watched him skillfully sort the herbs.

He always felt very strange.

Today, Qin Zhao bought medicine from several different clinics, purchasing a few herbs from each clinic before making his own prescriptions at home. Jing Li noticed that Qin Zhao had bought different herbs from the same clinic twice.

This always gave him a feeling that... Qin Zhao didn't want others to know what medicine he was buying.

The more Jing Li thought about it, the more curious he became. He called out softly, "Qin Zhao..."

Qin Zhao: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Qin Zhao paused and looked up at him.

Jing Li felt a little guilty when he looked at her. He blinked and said, "I... I'm just a little curious. You've taken so many medicines, but why are you still like this? What medicines are you taking..."

Qin Zhao said, "You want to ask why I bought medicine like that?"

The little guy could never hide things. When Qin Zhao took him to the clinic today, the doubts in the little fish's eyes were clearly revealed.

But he didn't ask after leaving the clinic.

Qin Zhao wondered how long he could hide this confusion, but it seemed that two hours was the limit.

Qin Zhao retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Because I don't want anyone to know my prescription."

This is the same as Jing Li's guess.

But he still didn't understand why Qin Zhao had to hide it? Was it because the recipe was extremely secret and rare, and Qin Zhao didn't want anyone to know about it? Or...

"I don't want anyone to know about my illness." Qin Zhao said frankly, "Experienced doctors can deduce the condition through prescriptions, but my illness is quite special and cannot be disclosed to outsiders. I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

Jing Li didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

"Silly boy, I've already told you that there will be trouble if people find out. Aren't you afraid of trouble?" Qin Zhao asked with a smile.

"I'm not afraid." Jing Li said, "Besides, I'm not an outsider now, right?"

Xiao Shayu is very immersed in the role of her husband.

Qin Zhao's expression faltered for a moment, then he smiled softly and patted his head: "Well, you're not an outsider."

Jing Li's eyes sparkled: "Can you tell me then?"

"no."

Jing Li: “…”

How could this person be like this!

Qin Zhao didn't say anything more to him.

He quickly sorted the herbs, poured them into the medicine pot and boiled a prescription, but turned around and saw

Jing Li was still hunched over the table, his slender, white fingers fiddling with the scattered herbal roots, pressing them back and forth between his fingertips in boredom.

Qin Zhao called him: "Xiaoyu, go back to your room and take a nap."

Perhaps because of his illness, Qin Zhao's daily routine is very healthy. Whenever he is at home, he will take a nap for the length of an incense stick in the afternoon.

Jing Li had been with him for a long time and had also developed this habit. He started to feel a little sleepy at a certain time.

But he just rubbed his eyes, without raising his head, pretending not to hear.

Qin Zhao naturally knew what he was upset about and smiled helplessly: "It's only been one day and you're not listening anymore? Aren't you afraid that I'll send you away?"

"No."

Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows, but saw Jing Li turned his head and blinked at him: "I am your husband now, why would you send me away?"

His tone was quite proud.

The implication is that they are now husband and wife, and Qin Zhao can no longer abandon him at will.

Qin Zhao was very interested and deliberately said, "But even if you're already married, you can still get divorced."

Jing Li said: "Then I will go and tell the village chief that you abandoned your husband and children and have bad behavior, and ask him not to help you guarantee the imperial examination." Miaomiao said

Qin Zhao: "..."

Qin Zhao didn't know whether to say he was stupid or smart.
