A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ning Yin's cold eyes; she was unwilling to get entangled with him.

He simply said, "Yes, I have always been an unreasonable person. Since that's the case, why should the general say more? I have other matters to attend to, so please excuse me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yin turned and strode away, but unexpectedly, Shen Yun chased after her and grabbed her hand tightly.

“Ayin, that’s not what I meant. I just felt sorry for you living alone in the suburbs of Beijing, all alone and helpless.”

"I also hope that you can help your mother out of consideration for your past as husband and wife. She is getting old and it is not easy for her to manage the General's Mansion by herself."

Ning Yin scoffed inwardly; his mother had indeed had a difficult life.

He was only thinking about how to make things difficult for her, and he was suspicious and afraid that he would take away her financial control.

Seeing Ning Yin stop, he released her hand and was about to speak.

Suddenly a carriage came from the opposite direction, and Ning Yin stopped it without thinking.

“General Shen, from the moment I signed the divorce papers, I, Ning Yin, have had no connection with your Shen family whatsoever. If you wish to seek medical treatment, please find someone else!”

Ning Yin left a sentence and boarded the carriage without hesitation.

Shen Yun was so angry that his face turned green. He had kindly invited her over.

I was just worried that she, a weak woman, wouldn't be able to earn much money.

They really don't know what's good for them.

So be it. He's a dignified general protecting the country; why should he need to be mindful of her feelings?

He wanted to see Ning Yin begging him while she cried when things got really tough.

Despite thinking this way, I still felt a tightness in my chest that made me uncomfortable.

How much money can a run-down clinic make?

We'll know once we go and take a look.

Shen Yun immediately ordered a servant to bring a horse.

He rode his horse at great speed, and Shen Yun arrived shortly after Ning Yin.

He nimbly dismounted and was about to push open the door when he saw a black horse parked in the courtyard.

How come he didn't know Ning Yin had learned to ride a horse?

Just as they were wondering, a man's voice suddenly came from inside the room.

Shen Yun's heart skipped a beat. He quickly darted around the fence and secretly peered through the window.

But then he saw a man in white standing with his back to him.

The man was holding a thousand taels of silver notes and insisted on stuffing them into Ning Yin's hand.

"Miss Ning, please accept this. Young Master Li may not be able to come over for a while, so he asked me to bring you some money."

Ning Yin refused outright; how could she possibly accept Li Xuan's money?

The man had paid a total of one thousand taels before, and still had more than five hundred taels left.

If she keeps accepting more money, she'll truly become a greedy quack doctor.

“I can’t accept it. Tell Young Master Li that he has plenty of money left over and that he should focus on his treatment.”

Li Chengyan wanted to continue persuading her, but Ning Yin took out several sachets from the cabinet and handed them over.

"Those sachets from last time probably weren't effective, so I made a few more. I'll take them back with today's medicine. Remember to make sure he takes his medicine on time so he can recover quickly."

While giving instructions, Ningyin packed up the medicine pot for the person.

At the same time, another man entered through the door.

Last time, Zhang Erhu's wife had a difficult childbirth, and afterwards her health deteriorated significantly.

During this period, Zhang Erhu came to Ningyin to get medicine to replenish his qi and blood.

After giving her instructions, Ning Yin went to the medicine shelf to get the medicine herself, and didn't have time to talk to Mo Feng anymore.

Li Chengyan gazed at the several exquisite sachets in his hand, the fragrance wafting into his nostrils.

He felt refreshed instantly. No wonder Xiao Xuan missed her so much; she was indeed an extraordinary woman.

However, he failed to deliver the money today and doesn't know how to explain it to Xiao Xuan when he gets back.

He had no choice but to take on the job himself. He was indeed here on Xiao Xuan's orders, but it was Qingying's job, and he had taken it from her.

Who told him to be a leisurely official who spent his days composing poems, traveling, and enjoying nature?

This was a major life event for Xiao Xuan, so naturally he had to take it to heart.

Only later did he learn that Xiao Xuan believed Ning Yin still harbored feelings for her cheating husband.

In a fit of anger, he ordered the eunuchs of the Imperial Wardrobe to make him ten pairs of shoes in one go.

After receiving the shoes, Xiao Xuan quickly changed into them.

He can have as many shoes as he wants; Duan Ran doesn't need to compare himself to Shen Yun.

With Shen Yun's big feet, no wonder his shoes wear out so easily.

How stupid is Ningyin? Her husband is having an affair, and she still makes shoes for him.

For several days in a row, Xiao Xuan thought a lot.

He was getting increasingly frustrated, but he couldn't bring himself to go to Ning Yin's place.

But whenever I calm down, Ning Yin's delicate and beautiful face will linger in my mind.

It just won't go away.

Sending money this time was just a way to gauge Ning Yin's attitude.

Seeing that Ning Yin was extremely busy, Li Chengyan realized he couldn't offer any help.

So, he didn't stay at the clinic for long before going out, mounting his horse, and leaving.

He had to go back and report to Xiao Xuan.

Shen Yun, who was hiding outside the window, saw the whole process clearly.

Shen Yun had never met Li Chengyan, because he rarely appeared with the Crown Prince and never attended court.

Although he was idle, he would secretly handle some matters for Xiao Xuan.

So when Li Chengyan walked out, Shen Yun, who was hiding in the corner, clenched his fists so tightly they cracked.

Those dark eyes were filled with hatred, and a strange emptiness welled up inside him.

After Zhang Erhu and the other patients left the clinic, Shen Yun quietly bypassed the fence and went into the main courtyard.

Ningyin was washing her hands outside the courtyard, preparing for dinner.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Shen Yun across from him with a dark face, staring angrily at him.
