Xie Jingyan went out to drink, and Shen Wan ate lunch alone.
Just after lunch, before she had even put down her chopsticks, the maid Dong'er came in and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Tao has arrived."
Shen Wan said, "Please ask Doctor Tao to wait for me in the main hall."
Shen Wan put down her chopsticks, washed her hands, and went to the main hall.
Today is Madam Tao's birthday, and all the stewards, big and small, in the Wang Mansion have sent gifts. The Tao family has hosted a banquet and had a great time.
The banquet had just ended, and Doctor Tao escorted the stewards into the mansion. Lai Moyuxuan then thanked Shen Wan. Old Madam Tao had never received such a valuable gift in her life, and she was overjoyed.
Shen Wan said, "Doctor Tao, you are being too polite. You cured the Prince's leg ailment, and you are a benefactor to both the Prince and me. What is it of me to give Old Madam Tao a small birthday gift? If I were not pregnant, I would have personally come to offer my birthday wishes."
Doctor Tao felt this matter was complicated; he had treated Prince Ling to repay Consort Chen's kindness, but now Prince Ling and his consort were also remembering his kindness...
Doctor Tao came to express his gratitude, and since there was nothing else, he prepared to leave. Just as he was about to get up, a familiar voice came from outside the main hall, "Where is Doctor Tao? Is he still at Moyuxuan?"
It was Tang Ze's voice.
Doctor Tao immediately stood up, while Shen Wan was a beat slower. Then, the Prince of Yanping and Tang Ze helped Lu Cheng in quickly. Lu Cheng was pale and looked dizzy.
The two placed Lu Cheng on a chair, and Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, who had entered from behind, and asked, "What's wrong with the heir of the Marquis of Xuanping?"
Xie Jingyan said with a solemn expression, "It's still unclear. He only drank a few cups of wine and suddenly started feeling dizzy and vomiting. We took him to the doctor, but they couldn't find anything wrong, so we brought him back to the manor."
The Crown Prince of Yanping looked at Doctor Tao and said, "Doctor Tao, please take a look at him quickly."
Doctor Tao sat down and took Lu Cheng's pulse. The more he took the pulse, the more his brows furrowed. "This is utter nonsense! He bumped his head, didn't rest, and ran around everywhere. And he even dared to drink alcohol?!"
Did you hit your head?
Prince Yanping and Tang Ze looked at each other.
The Crown Prince of Yanping asked, "When did Brother Lu bump his head?"
Tang Ze shook his head. "I don't know. I didn't hear him say anything."
The two looked at Lu Cheng, who was feeling extremely dizzy and didn't say anything.
Xie Jingyan's gaze fell on the headband worn by Lu Cheng. He walked over, reached out, and before Lu Cheng could stop him, Xie Jingyan ripped off the headband, revealing the bruise on Lu Cheng's forehead.
Tang Ze was stunned. "When were you injured?"
He said that Lu Cheng had suddenly dressed himself up like a peacock spreading its tail feathers because it was to cover the injury on his forehead.
Seeing everyone staring at his forehead, Lu Cheng felt like he wanted to die.
Xie Jingyan looked at Doctor Tao and asked, "Is his injury serious?"
Doctor Tao said, "The injury is not serious, but it is not minor either. You need to take medicine for five days and rest for seven days. During this period, you must not drink alcohol."
Yinshuang brought over writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Doctor Tao wrote a prescription for Lu Cheng, gave him a few more instructions, and then went to the pharmacy to get the medicine for Lu Cheng and prepare it.
After Doctor Tao left, the Crown Prince of Yanping looked at Lu Cheng and asked, "How did you get this injury?"
Lu Cheng said with a look of utter despair, "I accidentally bumped into the window..."
Tang Ze, "..."
Prince Yanping, “…”
I thought Lu Cheng had been beaten up, but it turns out he bumped into a window?
The two of them looked out the window at the same time.
How could this happen...?
Did their eyes grow on the back of their heads?
Xie Jingyan asked, "Whose window did you bump into?"
To the point.
It can kill instantly upon contact with blood.
Lu Cheng felt as if he had been seen through, his ears turning bright red. If there were a crack in the ground, he would have crawled into it without hesitation.
There's something wrong with this.
Lu Cheng couldn't sit still under their gaze, so he quickly put on his headband and bid farewell to Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan. Xie Jingyan asked Chen Feng to see them off, saying, "Let him drink his medicine before he leaves."
When Lu Cheng arrived at the outer courtyard, the medicine was almost ready. Lu Cheng drank the medicine in one gulp, and while he was drinking the medicine, Tang Ze dug out the place where he was injured.
Tang Ze patted him on the shoulder and asked curiously, "What were you doing climbing over the wall to the Yun family's house?"
Lu Cheng, “…!!!”
real.
I almost spat out the medicine I had just drunk.
Without a doubt, it must have been his servant who told him. Only his servant knew that he had climbed over the wall to enter the Yun family's residence. He had given a gag order, but Tang Ze still managed to find out.
Lu Cheng glanced at the servant, who almost knelt down on the spot.
The eldest son of the Duke of Tan's mansion was too good at questioning. He let slip the secret without paying attention. However, he also wanted to know why the young master had chased a maid to the Yun family, climbed over the wall, and stayed there for a long time. When he came out, he was injured. The young master was highly skilled in martial arts. No one in the Yun family should be able to hurt him. Could it be that the young master was really injured by the window of the Yun family?
servant, "..."
Lu Cheng glanced over and met Tang Ze's strange gaze. Already feeling dizzy, he immediately felt even more dizzy.
It's embarrassing enough to crash into a window, but if they knew how he did it, they'd laugh at him for the rest of their lives.
He can't afford to lose face like this.
Yesterday, after they finished drinking, he came to the Ling Prince's Mansion to deliver a folding fan and also to ask the Ling Princess for help. As luck would have it, as soon as he rode his horse to the Ling Prince's Mansion, he saw the personal maid of the girl who had dared to play tricks on him. It was truly a case of finding something without even trying.
Upon inquiring, Lu Cheng learned that she was the maid of the second young lady of the Yun family, which surprised him even more.
It turns out that the person he had been searching for for so long was actually Yun Qi's cousin.
Worried about making a mistake, Lu Cheng followed the Yun family to their home. Without hesitation, he climbed over the wall and entered the Yun family's house.
