Chapter 12 Who's so lewd?
"Fourth Young Master, please take a look at Fifth Miss. She...she's been so distracted since last night, she's terrified me."
Chun Tao almost let slip that, in fact, ever since returning from her meeting with Chunyu Han last night, Yu Nian had been listless and absent-minded.
"good."
Upon hearing that Yu Nian was unwell, Yu Jing immediately asked for leave from the Imperial Hospital and rushed to Yu Nian's residence.
"Xiao Wu, your fourth brother should have come to see you a few days ago, but he was too busy with official business. Don't be angry with your fourth brother."
The voice of the person beside the bed was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze that swept away the worries in Yu Nian's heart.
Turning around, a face as gentle and picturesque as a misty, rainy landscape came into view.
The phrase "a gentleman as jade" instantly came to mind for Yu Nian.
For Yu Nian, who transmigrated into the book, the stunning good looks of these men were probably the greatest perk for someone who was obsessed with appearances.
Looking at this face alone, Yu Nian could never connect Yu Jing with the Breaking Bad master who treated human life like dirt.
But regarding this brother, apart from his ending, Yu Nian had no information in her mind about how he went from being a doctor to an executioner. This was understandable, since the original owner's heart was with the crown prince, and she had become indifferent to the kindness of others.
At least for now, Yu Jing is still a normal doctor, so it's not too late.
The gentle fourth brother is protected by Yu Nian.
"How could I be angry with my brother?"
Yu Nian's cheerful tone surprised Yu Jing. His little sister seemed much more cheerful than before after this ordeal. He had thought Yu Nian would be angry with him when he came.
"It's good that you're not angry."
Yu Jing placed a white gauze pad on Yu Nian's wrist and took her pulse. Judging from the pulse, there was nothing seriously wrong.
"Xiao Wu, marriage is predestined. Some things cannot be forced. Just be good and don't worry. When the time comes, you will meet the right person."
Yu Jing gently tried to comfort Yu Nian, unaware that Yu Nian's worries had absolutely nothing to do with marriage.
What made Yu Nian unhappy was what Chunyu Han said before leaving last night.
Chunyu Han said that Yu Nian lacked sincerity, and also, he was not a homosexual.
Yu Nian understood the second half of the sentence, but he had pondered the first half all night and still couldn't figure out what it meant.
In an effort to please Chunyu Han, she spent a fortune booking the best restaurant to treat him to a meal, but he still said she wasn't sincere.
Yu Nian sat up and asked Yu Jing with a serious expression.
"Fourth Brother, what do you mean when a man in a high position tells a woman who is trying to please him that he is not sincere?"
Having served in the Imperial Medical Academy for many years, Yu Jing subconsciously recalled the greasy and malicious gazes that some senior middle-aged imperial physicians cast on young female physicians when they asked them questions.
Yu Jing was a gentleman who respected propriety and self-discipline. The thought that someone could harbor such filthy thoughts about his beloved younger sister immediately changed his expression.
"Little Five, tell Fourth Brother, who said such shameless and vulgar things to you!"
Yu Jing's expression changed upon hearing this, as if to say, "Sister, if you name someone, I'll send them to their grave with a single dose of medicine."
At the same time, Yu Nian also became somewhat puzzled. Were Chunyu Han's words really that vulgar?
"Um, no one's here. I just read a storybook and didn't quite understand what it meant."
Yu Nian smiled wryly, instinctively feeling that she might have asked the wrong person, and casually brushed it off.
Upon hearing this, Yu Jing immediately gave Chun Tao a displeased look.
"Chuntao, take good care of Xiaowu from now on, and don't let her see these low-class things anymore."
After giving a few more instructions, Yu Jing was called away by the servant again, who said that the palace urgently needed to see him to treat an illness.
Yu Nian's face fell. Good grief, she had asked a completely useless question in the end.
"Miss, those words weren't spoken to you by the Regent, were they...?"
Chun Tao, being Yu Nian's maid, was quite aware of Yu Nian's thoughts. When they were alone, she whispered a question to Yu Nian.
Yu Nian raised an eyebrow, remaining silent, her eyes filled with anticipation as she awaited Chun Tao's next words.
"Miss, I have something to tell you..."
Chun Tao overheard a few close maids discussing this in their spare time. Chun Tao felt a little embarrassed, as they were all unmarried young ladies and it was not appropriate to say the words "offer yourself" openly. So she leaned close to Yu Nian's ear and whispered it discreetly.
Men in high positions of power naturally have no shortage of gold and silver; what they want are things that money can't buy.
Chuntao felt that with such a hint, her young lady would surely understand.
"Is that really what you mean?"
Yu Nian looked at Chun Tao in shock. Going to such lengths to please this villain was a bit too much…
Chuntao nodded affirmatively, "That's roughly the idea."
Yu Nian raised her index finger and thumb, supporting her delicate chin, and pondered for a long time.
According to Chuntao, does Chunyu Han really mean that?
After a long internal struggle, Yu Nian finally made up her mind and muttered in a voice only she could hear, "Fine, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub!"
Since Chunyu Han didn't like what she bought with money, she had no choice but to take matters into her own hands!
...
As night fell, the Regent's Mansion was silent. Everyone in the mansion knew that Chunyu Han's old ailment had relapsed, and they were all cautious, even in their breathing, for fear of offending this evil god and losing their lives.
Of course, except for Yu Nian, who was unaware of the situation.
"Fifth Miss, the Regent is in a bad mood today. I advise you to go back."
Canghai looked at Yu Nian with a troubled expression, stood in front of the Ren Dong Pavilion, and tried to persuade him with kind words.
"He's in a bad mood. When has he ever been in a good mood?"
Yu Nian carried her food basket, unconcerned. From the first moment she saw Chunyu Han, he had always had that unyielding, icy, and sour face.
She specially prepared food to show her sincerity. If she didn't even get to see the person, wouldn't all those hours of work have been for nothing?
“What you say makes sense. But today he’s in a bad mood, unlike usual. His old ailment has flared up, and he’s restless. At times like these, we can’t come in unless summoned, so you should…”
Old ailment?
Yu Niancai then realized that Chunyu Han was also ill.
"Should I ask my fourth brother to come and take a look at him?"
Yu Nian felt that if you're sick, you should get treatment; it's too uncomfortable to just tough it out.
"Miss Wu may not know, but the master's illness is not obvious. Many famous doctors have been consulted, but they are all helpless. Every time he has an attack, the master cannot sleep all night, is restless, and is very irritable."
In the most serious incident, Canghai was almost mistakenly killed by Chunyu Han, but fearing it would frighten Yu Nian, Canghai didn't bring it up.
"Is it that serious? Isn't there anything that can alleviate it?"
Based on Canghai's description, Yu Nian felt that Chunyu Han's condition seemed to fall under the category of mental illness, such as sleep disorder.
"Later, the adults relied on incense to calm their nerves, but it only worked at first. After a while, they had to change to a new formula. This was always the case whenever the incense lost its effectiveness. In severe cases, the adults had to lock themselves up to prevent harming innocent bystanders..."
Crack, splash...
As Canghai was speaking, a sound of porcelain shattering, chains scraping, and a low, suppressed male growl came from inside the Honeysuckle Pavilion.
"Sigh... Fifth Miss, please go back. I need to go in and keep an eye on the master, lest he hurt himself."
Canghai was worried about Chunyu Han, so he stopped talking to Yu Nian.
Standing in front of the Honeysuckle Pavilion, Yu Nian thought of the rewards the system had given her before, wondering if they would come in handy.
The gate of the Honeysuckle Pavilion in the night resembled the gaping maw of a ferocious beast. Yu Nian mustered her courage and followed Cang Hai across the threshold of the Honeysuckle Pavilion.
