Chapter 51: Perfect Body Yan Heng's body stiffened,...
Yan Heng's body stiffened. Judging from Ji Yunchan's tone, she was really angry this time.
He didn't dare to disobey and let go of her hand.
The girl in his arms broke free from him and sat aside.
Yan Heng felt regretful. Why did he ask this? He was also unsure what she was angry about, but he didn't dare to ask rashly. He thought to himself that Yuanyuan had a bad temper.
The coaxing tricks didn't work after the first and second attempts, and Yan Heng was at a loss.
Ji Yunchan stood aside, picking up her chopsticks and then putting them down again. She was angry that he said he liked her, but she didn't want him to be disappointed, and she didn't want to go along with him either. She was at a disadvantage. Who asked him to ask that?
This happened repeatedly and I was so angry that I couldn't eat.
"Yuanyuan, how about some porridge?"
Yan Heng pleaded for peace in a frustrated tone, "Even if you're mad at me, you can't not eat."
Ji Yunchan was angry and ignored everyone, eating other things bit by bit, but she didn't touch the bowl of porridge.
At this time, the curtain was drawn aside, and Yuye entered the room, bowing and saying, "General, Madam, Doctor Li wishes to see you."
He must be here because of Yuanyuan's incident last night. Yan Heng sat up straighter and ordered, "Send him in."
Yu Ye responded and went out to call people.
…
The room was silent, and when Doctor Li came in, he felt the atmosphere was strange.
He took a quick look and saw that the girl from the Ji family had a blank expression on her face, while the eldest son was very eager, so he knew what was going on.
"Fight?" he asked cheerfully.
Yan Heng gave him a pleading look.
"Uncle Li." Ji Yunchan nodded to Doctor Li as a greeting, but did not respond to him.
"Don't be angry. Anger is harmful to your health." Doctor Li advised. He took out a pulse pillow from his medical box and placed it on the table. He motioned for Ji Yunchan to stretch out her hand, saying, "My lady, you are not fully recovered yet."
"Uncle Li is right."
Ji Yunchan responded with a full mouth, nodded with a smile, and looked kind, but she didn't even look at Yan Heng.
Doctor Li was not surprised. He placed three fingers on Ji Yunchan's pulse and carefully felt it. After a moment, he suddenly looked at Yan Heng strangely, with a complicated expression.
After hearing this over and over again, how could Yan Heng not know what he meant?
The old man laughed at him again.
He was not in a good mood: "What are you looking at?"
"What's wrong?" Ji Yunchan asked nervously, thinking something had gone wrong.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Doctor Li retracted his gaze and said comfortingly, "My wife is fine now. Just continue with the usual prescription."
Ji Yunchan responded half-believingly.
Doctor Li turned to Yan Heng again and said sarcastically, "Young Master, let me take a look at you too."
Ji Yunchan also looked over.
Yuanyuan looked at him.
Yan Heng's frown relaxed. He had originally thought it was unnecessary, but now he felt that it was worth asking him to take a look.
He readily extended his hand, and Doctor Li took the hand and probed, and he actually found something.
He looked up and said, "Young Master, you seem to be feeling a bit cold."
This surprised Yan Heng. He looked up and said, "Is this true? But I don't have any symptoms."
This sounds like questioning someone's medical skills.
Doctor Li blew his beard and glared, "Of course it's true!"
Then he calmed down and continued naggingly, "You're young and full of energy, you can't waste it. Jumping into that ice hole in the middle of winter, it's a blessing that you're not bedridden."
Ji Yunchan looked over with concern.
"Is my wife really okay?" Yan Heng asked.
Doctor Li stroked his beard and sighed, "Although my wife has caught a cold, there is heat and poison in her body. The two have neutralized each other and canceled it out."
Ji Yunchan was secretly worried that he had caught a cold, but when she heard him call her "wife", she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
Yuye was standing by and whispered to Ji Yunchan, "Madam, after you fell asleep last night, the general took a long cold bath by himself."
Ji Yunchan looked back at her in surprise, and when she turned to Yan Heng, worry was written all over her face.
Seeing this, Yan Heng curled the corners of his lips. Now, listening to Doctor Li's words, he didn't think it was unnecessary. He let him prescribe some medicine for him and then sent him to the door.
The rainy night also quietly retreated.
The young couple was the only ones left in the room. Ji Yunchan was the first to speak, breaking the atmosphere, "Ah Heng, I'll eat well."
As she spoke, she picked up the bowl of porridge he had personally served and drank while looking at him.
"...I actually did it on purpose." Yan Heng paused and spoke with difficulty.
He sat closer to her and picked up food for her while she ate.
Ji Yunchan was stunned for a moment, then heard Yan Heng sound a little embarrassed, and then said seriously: "I just miss it a little."
"I miss the time when we were neighbors and bickered every day." He said, and when he saw she stopped again, he pushed the bowl towards her and said, "You eat, I'll talk slowly."
Ji Yunchan was genuine, it was rare to see him so frank.
That confession, which was full of youthful worries and a bit of regret, was sincere and pure.
She couldn't help but smile with her eyes curved.
Reaching out to hold Yan Heng's hand, Ji Yunchan shook it like a little girl, "I know."
Yan Heng's heart softened. He squeezed her palm and then let go.
Still worried, he mentioned it again, "Let's eat."
"Oh." Ji Yunchan smiled lightly, lowered her head, and slowly ate the porridge in the bowl.
Halfway through her meal, she suddenly remembered the look in Doctor Li's eyes when he was taking her pulse. She felt as if he was hiding something from her, and asked worriedly, "Why did Uncle Li suddenly stop and look at you when he was taking my pulse?"
When Yan Heng first heard this sound, he almost choked.
He feigned composure, his eyes casually scanning the dishes on the table instead of looking at her, his tone indifferent, "Because you're still a virgin. He doesn't understand why we haven't consummated our marriage after all this time."
Ji Yunchan hadn't thought about it at all. Her face flushed slightly as she quickly changed the subject: "What about that ice hole? It's so cold, it should be frozen solid." She lowered her eyes and said, "But if there wasn't that hole, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to escape."
Yan Heng was eager for her to change the subject, so he explained, "The groom you hired into the mansion wanted running water, so he dug it himself."
Ji Yunchan was a little surprised when she heard that.
This was truly a coincidence. This man always managed to help her out by accident. "He was the one who unloaded the carriage I took out of town. He was a candy figurine vendor back then."
"He's quite capable, so I'll make him a steward." Yan Heng said casually, his main interest being picking food for Ji Yunchan. "It's like persuading him to show his gratitude to you."
He picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks, and Yuanyuan picked it up and ate it. Her cheeks made gurgling sounds while chewing, which was extremely cute. Yanheng looked at her with great interest.
Ji Yunchan was used to it. When she was young, Ah Heng loved watching her eat. He would bring her some new snacks and cakes from the capital, but he himself disliked these things because they were too sweet and didn't like to eat them. He would sit on a high place and pretend nothing happened as he watched her finish eating.
But because of his status at that time, he didn't stare at her so directly.
It wasn't like now, sitting at the table and picking food for her. Ji Yunchan was full, so she returned the favor and picked up a chopstick, "Don't pick it for me, Ah Heng, I can't eat anymore."
Yan Heng ate it without hesitation and left it at that.
He spoke whatever came to his mind, chatting with Ji Yunchan: "After the fifteenth, things will get busy."
"Well, go ahead and do your thing." Ji Yunchan responded and poured a cup of tea for herself and Yan Heng.
"I beat Wang Kang'an up pretty badly last night, and he said he'd come to my house to apologize," Yan Heng instructed, so she'd know about it in advance. He then consoled her, "If you don't want to see him, then don't. He'll have to come anyway."
"knew."
She didn't even want to think about this person, but judging from Yan Heng's temper, he would not let him off easily. He must have caused a lot of embarrassment to the magistrate's family yesterday.
She looked at Yan Heng with concern: "After this incident, I'm afraid the prefect will bear a grudge against you."
"It's nothing to worry about. It's just a superficial relationship." Yan Heng said nonchalantly, "Besides, he's in the wrong, so he wouldn't dare to act rashly. Don't worry."
Ji Yunchan was half-believing and half-doubting, and nodded hesitantly.
......
Just as Yan Heng said, he became increasingly busy after that and was rarely idle at home during the day.
Having become the legitimate mistress of this mansion, no one would interfere with what Ji Yunchan did. She finally relaxed and became more and more like herself before.
Like the moon emerging from the clouds, the bright light grew brighter and brighter. The servants in the mansion had originally been skeptical about the childhood friendship between her and the general, but now seeing her standing beside Yan Heng, as if they were made for each other, no one doubted it.
Because Yan Heng married first and then told everyone, the officials who had business dealings with him had to send gifts to his house. Ji Yunchan had already made preparations for this, but she didn't expect that the first person to come was Du Ruo, the younger sister of Du Tongzhi.
......
There were many chores to do in the first month of the year. After Ji Yunchan finished her work at a leisurely pace, she realized that she had not been out for a long time. Thinking that Yan Heng's clothes were nothing but black, and looking at the dark crowd, she went out for a stroll and bought her some ready-made clothes.
When she returned home, she lifted the curtain to get some fresh air and saw from afar a sedan chair parked at the door, supported by a maid. A person got out of the sedan chair. Ji Yunchan looked closely and found that it was Du Tongzhi's sister.
Yu Ye, who was standing by, had seen the girl's close relationship with the general. He looked at his master worriedly and called her softly, "Madam..."
Ji Yunchan didn't respond. She watched the master and servant walk to the door. The maid next to Miss Du came forward and knocked on the door of the general's mansion.
The doorman came out and said something, probably because the master was not at home.
Then Miss Du turned back in disappointment.
At this moment, the carriage that Ji Yunchan was riding in was already approaching.
Du Ruo saw the Chinese character "雁" (goose) hanging on the carriage. Seeing someone else riding in a carriage at this hour, she boldly stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, is that Madam Yan?"
"Miss Du."
Ji Yunchan lifted the curtain, nodded at her, and was helped out of the car by Yuye.
"Miss Du, is there anything I can help you with?" she asked.
Seeing Ji Yunchan again, Du Ruo felt that she was even more beautiful. She was already a beauty, and the snow-blue dress made her look even more elegant and graceful.
"Ji..." Du Ruo opened her mouth, showing a rare shyness, "Madam Yan, I came to look for you."
