Chapter 210 Taking Medicine
Doctor Yan paused for a moment, then said, "I can't give you an answer either. Ultimately, you two will have to find a suitable method."
"But I feel that he is already in a state of unease, his mind is as tense as a taut string, and it is not advisable for you to leave rashly at this time."
"I'm afraid it will only provoke him and drain his energy, which will then cause trouble."
Doctor Yan sighed: "However, I understand your concerns. He shouldn't put all his energy into you. In the long run, it will be a drain on both of you."
"It is necessary to loosen this tension, but as for how to loosen it, it requires you and your husband to work together in your daily lives and find a solution little by little."
Shen Yuanzhu nodded: "Thank you, Doctor Yan, I understand."
Doctor Yan asked, "Would the lady like me to prescribe some calming and soothing medicine for him?"
"Please drive, sir."
After Doctor Yan prescribed the medicine, he told her to have the pharmacy boy deliver it later. Shen Yuanzhu saw him off and saw Xie Qi huddled on a stone bench in the courtyard, his eyes half-closed, looking as if he were tired.
Shen Yuanzhu walked to his side, slowly squatted down, and looked up at Xie Qi.
She still didn't understand why Xie Qi treated her this way...
Deep emotions?
I don't understand it, but it's probably a good thing.
Shen Yuanzhu hugged her knees and pondered for a moment. She thought about it and felt that this was not bad.
With her hand on Xie Qi's knee, Xie Qi slowly opened his eyes and saw Shen Yuanzhu squatting in front of him, tilting her head and smiling at him.
"Dr. Yan has left?"
"Um."
Is there something wrong with my health?
Shen Yuanzhu nodded: "Doctor Yan said that your lungs and internal organs are weak and depleted, and that your emotions are damaged because you are completely focused on me."
He said that my words could influence your greed, anger, joy, and rage, and that I should be more careful about my words and actions.
Xie Qi's cheeks flushed slightly upon hearing this, and after a long silence, he stammered out, "The old man's medical skills are quite good."
He stood up and pulled her into his arms, saying carefully, "Yuanzhu..."
Xie Qi lowered his voice, which carried a hint of coquetry: "You will never know how important you are to me. You are the only one I have in this world."
"Please don't leave me, okay? Even if..."
Their foreheads touched, and Xie Qi said with a hint of grievance, "Even if you will never love me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanzhu's heart softened.
She now knows how to appease Xie Qi when he goes crazy, but it seems that Xie Qi has also found a way to "control" her.
Shen Yuanzhu raised her hand and wrapped it around Xie Qi's waist, gently patting his back.
She still wouldn't say she loved him...
Xie Qi felt a moment of disappointment, but quickly felt comforted.
Now that Yuanzhu is no longer willing to lie to him, this is already a very good development. As long as he keeps pursuing her, one day Yuanzhu will fall in love with him.
Xie Qi pulled the person into his arms with all his might.
He leaned close to Shen Yuanzhu's ear and whispered something in her ear.
Xie Qi said, "Yuanzhu, won't you find me annoying if I keep bothering you like this?"
Shen Yuanzhu thought for a moment and said, "If it bothers me, I will tell you."
Xie Qi snorted coldly, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
In the evening, Doctor Yan's apprentice brought the medicine, which Xiaozhi carefully brewed and brought into the house.
The scalding hot medicine, carrying heat and bitterness, made the whole room feel astringent.
Xie Qi stared at the celadon bowl in front of him, his brows furrowing three times.
"This is a calming soup that Doctor Yan prescribed for you. It's still warm now. Let it cool down before drinking it so it won't hurt your throat."
Shen Yuanzhu sat down next to Xie Qi and pushed him closer.
"I don't want to drink. My health is pretty good, but as Doctor Yan said, I've been thinking about you the whole time. As long as you're by my side, I feel comfortable in every way."
Xie Qi pushed the bowl of medicine away with disdain, then squeezed Chen Yuanzhu's hand as if to show weakness.
"no."
Shen Yuanzhu picked up the medicine bowl and handed it to Xie Qi. Xie Qi knew he couldn't avoid it, so he picked up the spoon in front of him and handed it to Shen Yuanzhu.
"Feed me."
Shen Yuanzhu said, "If you drink this medicine all at once, you won't notice the bitterness, but if you're fed it spoonful by spoonful..."
"It's alright."
Xie Qi's eyes softened: "I want you to feed me."
He loved watching Yuanzhu do all sorts of little things for him, just for him.
Xie Qi raised his hand and gently stroked Shen Yuanzhu's cheek, then tilted his head slightly towards the medicinal soup in front of him.
Helpless, Shen Yuanzhu had no choice but to take a spoon and blow on it to cool it down before feeding it to Xie Qi.
The herbal decoction was bitter, but Xie Qi savored it as if it were a delicacy, sipping it spoonful by spoonful.
He remained expressionless, and Shen Yuanzhu herself began to wonder as she fed him.
She first looked down and smelled the medicine bowl in her hand, and indeed smelled a bitter smell with a grassy odor.
Just as she was wondering, Xie Qi put the bowl away, reached out and put his arm around her waist, then lowered his head and kissed her.
The unique bitterness of the herbs spread across the lips and tongue, and the rich medicinal aroma filled the nose.
Shen Yuanzhu nudged Xie Qi, who reluctantly stepped back.
"bitter……"
She picked up the teacup on the table and hurriedly rinsed her mouth, while Xie Qi drank the rest of the medicine little by little.
When Shen Yuanzhu returned, Xie Qi snuggled up to her and said, "Yuanzhu, you'll have to feed me my medicine from now on. This way, it will taste sweet."
Shen Yuanzhu tugged at his ear, shaking her head with a laugh: "I don't want to, it's too bitter."
"It won't be bitter if we drink it together."
Xie Qi's eyes sparkled, making Shen Yuanzhu's heart soften: "No."
Seeing his lowered eyes, Shen Yuanzhu suddenly smiled.
She squinted and said with a smile, "I can feed you your medicine, or I can be with you..."
She tilted her head up and kissed Xie Qi: "I'll have Ling'er buy some dried fruit tomorrow."
Xie Qi nodded reluctantly, but was secretly pleased.
Doctor Yan said that his joys and sorrows were all tied to her, but Yuanzhu, upon hearing this, not only did not find him annoying, but was willing to let him get close to her.
It's clear that Yuanzhu actually enjoyed him being around her.
Perhaps, he could go even further in the future.
Thinking of this, Xie Qi pursed his lips, suppressing the joy in his heart.
The two played around for a while longer before Xie Qi went to the bathhouse to wash up. Shen Yuanzhu got up and went to the courtyard to instruct Ling'er to buy some dried fruit the next day.
After giving the instructions, Madam Luo leaned close to her and said, "Miss, Luo Qing has already contacted those cloth merchants. Luo Qing said that it's not difficult to negotiate orders with them, and three or two deals have already been finalized."
After saying that, Madam Luo sighed softly: "They are very dissatisfied with Xie Chengzhi succeeding as the head of the Xie family, but Luo Qing said that there are also people who have never heard of the Xie family, but they are happy to see our cooperation with Xie Cui Fang come to fruition."
Shen Yuanzhu said, "Business is business. No matter how good my personal relationship is with Xie Sanniang, it's a different matter when it comes to interests."
"Moreover, we are now renowned, and Luo Qingge is openly very close to Eunuch Yuan, so this outcome is not surprising."
Seeing that Madam Luo nodded, Shen Yuanzhu continued, "Tell Brother Nai to try to get all the cloth merchants who cooperate with the Xie family into our hands, even if it means lowering the price by 10% or 20% this year."
"Ten or twenty percent?"
Luo said, "If we lower the price like this, how can we still make a profit?"
