Chapter 146
On this day, she finally prepared the goods for Shopkeeper Lin, and the spring structure was almost completed, just waiting for the final acceptance.
Her aunt accompanied her to check the mountain spring water. However, when going down the mountain, she did not pay attention to her feet and missed a step because of falling rocks!
Ruan Mian gasped as he felt a burst of pain.
The eldest aunt hurried forward, very anxious: "Oh, Mianmian, are you okay?!"
Ruan Mian turned his head to look at his ankle, and saw that it was slightly swollen, and knew that he had sprained his ankle.
So he supported his aunt and said, "It's not a big problem. You'll feel much better after applying some medicine when you get home."
When the eldest aunt saw that the wound was getting more and more swollen, she immediately called Ruan Jinxiu over and said, "Xiu'er, what are you still standing there for? Hurry and carry your cousin back to the house!"
Ruan Jinxiu hurried over and carried Ruan Mian on his back without saying a word.
She was already thin, so Ruan Jinxiu found it quite easy to carry her on his back. Seeing that the household affairs were almost dealt with, her aunt followed behind to remind her.
"Mianmian, are the goods you're going to hand over to Shopkeeper Lin almost ready? The cabinets in our medicine shop are also being repaired. We're just waiting for the day when we have time to go over and set them up."
"By the way, you haven't told your father about the consultation yet, right?"
Ruan Mian almost finished the task. When she arrived near the house, she patted Ruan Jinxiu's shoulder and asked Ruan Jinxiu to put her down.
"I'll go talk to my father about this right away. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll go to Guancheng to make preparations tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
The eldest aunt quickly shook her head: "No hurry! Treat your wound first!"
Ruan Mian smiled lightly: "Aunt, have you forgotten that my father is also a doctor now? Can't I go to him to treat my injuries?"
After hearing this, the aunt finally reacted and urged Xiu'er to support her.
Ruan Mian leaned his entire body weight on Xiu'er and moved slowly.
I wonder if drinking some spiritual spring water will make me feel better.
However, there were several pairs of eyes staring at them not far away.
Among them was Xie Huaian.
Seeing Ruan Mian and Ruan Jinxiu being so close, he just felt uncomfortable.
It's rare for him to have such a sour face.
Minister Dong saw it clearly at a glance.
"Sir, I see that you care about Madam Ruan very much. She has been so busy these past few days, and you have been secretly gathering people for her and cleaning up the mess behind her. But Madam Ruan has come to bring you delicious food several times, but you have refused to see her. Why is that?"
Xie Huaian said nothing, only glanced at him and asked, "Did you find out clearly, Ruan Jinxiu?"
Minister Dong naturally found out everything, but he rarely saw such a unique side of the Lord, so he was very interested and wanted to make the Lord anxious.
So he didn't tell Xie Huaian about Ruan Jinxiu immediately, but instead said.
"That Mr. Ruan is not Madam Ruan's real cousin, but a son picked up by Madam Ruan's aunt. If he can make progress with Madam Ruan, it would be a matter of even closer kinship. Sir, don't you agree?"
Xie Huaian took a deep breath and turned away from Minister Dong.
The other person staring at Ruan Mian was Qi Nanfeng, who had been calm for a long time.
The arrival of Ruan Jinxiu and his aunt, two unfamiliar faces, quickly caught his attention. After asking around, he learned that the big and strong man was Ruan Mian's cousin.
Seeing how close they were, Qi Nanfeng felt sick and uncomfortable, as if he had eaten shit.
Yuan Xi, who was with him, also looked at him with contempt and said quietly to Qi Nanfeng.
"Sir, it's a good thing you have nothing to do with that bitch now. A fickle woman like her will get her comeuppance sooner or later."
"Just now she was being affectionate with Lord Xie, and now she's being intimate with her cousin. She's so slutty! I've never seen such a shameless woman. She has no sense of shame at all!"
These words resonated deeply with Qi Nanfeng, and he snorted, "Her lack of shame hasn't happened overnight. Just wait and see. It doesn't matter if I let her have some fun for a few days now. She'll definitely not have a good ending!"
"By the way, how's your investigation going on with the road construction?"
When Yuan Xi heard this, he immediately returned to the main topic.
"Sir, they've already finished repairing most of the road. I've also found Guancheng along that road. When the weather is better one day, I'll go to Guancheng to exchange some items and bring them back to you."
"Where did you get the money?"
Yuan Xi smiled awkwardly and said, "I... I also went to repair the road. After all, I can get paid, right? And the food I bring to the young master every day is made by those bitches. It tastes better than what we make ourselves, and it saves us a lot of trouble!"
Qi Nanfeng looked on with disdain, but did not refuse.
"There's no reason not to take advantage of this free deal. By the way, Xier, if you're going to Guancheng to do some shopping, please ask around for me to see if there's any effective medicine to treat that condition."
"Xi'er, I want to heal myself not only for myself, but also for you. It's for the happiness of both of us."
Yuan Xi blushed slightly and nodded shyly: "I will ask for you, sir."
"good."
Qi Nanfeng smiled slightly, but a dark thought was already crawling in his heart, and he wished to tear Ruan Mian apart completely.
I don’t know when these frustrating days will end.
The meaning of keeping themselves alive now is to wait for the princess's people to come and give them a lesson!
As long as he keeps his life, once the forces of Prince Yan arrive, he will be able to turn things around!
At the same time, Ruan Mian came to her father. When Zhang saw that she was injured, she felt very distressed.
"Mianmian, what's wrong with you?!"
"Mom, I'm fine. I just twisted my ankle accidentally. I came to see Dad to discuss something important."
Mr. Ruan took some ground medicine powder and applied it to her skin while asking, "Mianmian, what's wrong?"
Ruan Mian told everyone about how he had bought a shop in Guancheng and opened a herbal medicine store.
He also expressed his desire to invite him to be a doctor, but the doctor did not have to be there every day, just two or three days a week would be enough.
It would only take three hours to go back and forth on a donkey.
However, Mr. Ruan was stunned.
"I want to be a doctor? How can I do that? I don't have the ability yet!"
"Father! You study hard every day, and you've treated so many of us. Look, these days, whenever anyone here has an injury or pain, you've cured them all."
"You're a doctor, aren't you? Now that you have the opportunity to meet more people, why are you feeling less confident in yourself?"
Zhang smiled softly and joked, "Mianmian is right. Since you've chosen to be a doctor, you naturally need to treat more patients to accumulate experience. You don't have to worry about anything. We have Mianmian here. If we really encounter difficult and complicated cases, wouldn't it be better for you two to discuss them together?"
