Chapter 106: Why bother?
Liang Weiyuan took off her hairpin and sat in front of the dressing table, her black hair falling like a waterfall. When she heard that, the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye trembled slightly with her smile.
Just like telling a story from a storybook, he jokingly recounted what happened tonight: "I met a bold man who said he would conquer the world for me."
Huo Jin saw the hand holding the bird's nest suddenly pause, and the bird's nest in the white jade bowl rippled.
Staring at her reflection in the mirror, he pursed his thin lips into a cold and hard arc: "Oh?"
"Which hero has such a taste?"
Liang Weiyuan thought of Xiao Yiyu's colorful and wonderful expression, and a smile appeared on her face.
"It's the Prince of Duan, Xiao Yiyu."
Liang Weiyuan laughed and shook her head, turning to look at Huo Jinjian with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "Let's not talk about anything else. When he heard that you were my husband, he actually staggered away."
"Could it be that my husband is familiar with him?"
Huo Jin saw his frown deepen, and his Adam's apple seemed to let out a cold snort, "So it's that playboy who once fell into my hands and we have a grudge against each other."
"Has he ever given you any trouble?" There was a fleeting hint of coldness in his voice.
I see.
Liang Weiyuan was relieved, "Not really."
"Prince Duan seems to be acting in a romantic manner, but his character seems to be quite good."
So she didn't take it to heart.
Listening to this, Huo Jin uttered a low "hmm". Leng Jun's expression couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but the sandalwood in the room seemed faintly sour.
He couldn't even walk freely, and couldn't accompany his wife when she went out.
He couldn't even protect his own wife and let others molest her in the street.
Comparing the fellow's fine clothes and his frail horse with his sick body that needed someone to take care of him, Huo Jin felt a heaviness in his heart, and clenched his strong fingers into fists.
The next day, when Liang Weiyuan went to the kitchen to handle miscellaneous affairs, he found Ye Zhonglin with the help of a cane.
A strong medicinal aroma filled Ye Zhonglin's room. Seeing Huo Jin approaching, he stood up in surprise, "Young Master, what are you doing..."
"I want to speed up my recovery."
Huo Jin saw that every step he took was accompanied by hidden pain, and his steps were unsteady and heavy, but he walked steadily to Ye Zhonglin.
Ye Zhonglin frowned and spoke in a serious tone like a doctor.
"Young Master, you can't do that. You've already reached the limit of your physical strength after rehabilitation. If you want to speed up, you'll have to endure the pain of steel needles piercing your blood and fire burning your flesh."
"The pain is so severe that it's unbearable for ordinary people. After just half an incense stick, you'll faint."
Ye Zhonglin spoke solemnly, but Huo Jin remained calm. "It's okay. As long as it speeds up my recovery, I can handle it."
"Please, Mr. Ye, treat me."
Even Ye Zhonglin couldn't help but be distracted at this moment.
He disliked the rich and powerful who lived a life of luxury and debauchery, as they were all fame-seeking and money-seeking people who indulged in wine and women.
The person in front of me is extraordinary.
"If you have made up your mind, please sit down."
Huo Jin nodded and sat down. His shirt was loose and half-pulled down to his waist, revealing some old scars on his muscular chest and abdomen, which was frightening.
Not long after, Liang Weiyuan returned to the yard and opened the door, but saw only an empty carved bed, and no man.
Following the faint groaning sound through the corridor, she frowned and soon found Ye Zhonglin's house.
What does Huo Jin want to see Mr. Ye for?
Suddenly, a man's suppressed growl was heard. Liang Weiyuan was startled and pushed the door open.
Huo Jin was seen lying collapsed on the medical bed, his shirt soaked with cold sweat and sticking to his back, his long black hair stuck to his pale face, and there were traces of blood on his lips from biting.
"Husband?"
She cried out in surprise and took a few steps forward, wanting to touch his trembling shoulder to check, but her hand froze in mid-air.
Huo Jin saw silver needles inserted into his chest and calves, and the skin nearby was swollen with purple lumps, as if burned by fire.
Ye Zhonglin raised his hand to stop her, "Don't touch it. You need to wait a moment before you can remove the needle."
"Why did you suddenly change the course of treatment?" Liang Weiyuan asked with her clear eyes slightly fixed.
I've been doing well in rehabilitation these days, what's this for?
Ye Zhonglin could only sigh and explain that it was Huo Jinjian who forced him to do so.
Huo Jin saw her slowly open her eyes. There was a deep and profound understanding in her eyes, and there was lingering pain. She looked at her as if covered by a layer of blood mist, "You go out first."
After he finished speaking hoarsely, his veins taut and he gasped for breath, trying hard to endure the pain of his qi and blood flowing backwards.
There was a flash of surprise in Liang Weiyuan's eyes. She felt unbearable pain just by looking at it.
Is he so anxious to recover?
"The eldest master is determined to do this, and I can't persuade him." Ye Zhonglin looked at Huo Jinjian with a hint of admiration. "Now that things have come to this, Madam, please wait outside."
"After the acupuncture, the eldest master will probably have a high fever tonight. He will be able to recover after tonight."
Liang Weiyuan had no choice but to give up after hearing this. After going out, she asked someone to prepare hot water.
When Huo Jinjian was brought back to the house, he looked more serious than expected. He was half-conscious and his body was covered with sticky sweat.
She took a deep breath, gently unbuttoned Huo Jinjian's shirt, and wiped his hot body with a warm handkerchief. His muscles were as tight as branding irons and took a long time to relax.
"Why bother?"
