Chapter 370 Should we go and coax her?
Upon hearing this, Li Rong gave Chi Heng a strange look: "Not necessarily, is it?"
The image of him devoutly burning incense at the Temple of the Divine Healer unconsciously came to mind.
Chi Heng was completely stunned, and couldn't help but rub her forehead: "You're hopeless. I really want to pry open your head and see what's inside."
Li Rong explained in a good-natured manner: "Both prescriptions used honeysuckle during the Canglin epidemic. This left a tradition that when worshipping a divine doctor, one must bring honeysuckle. The two of them were probably not lying. They probably thought that my Anuan was very similar to that divine doctor, which is why they did this."
Chi Heng was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, rubbing his forehead: "I'm saying, even if you love Madam Chong, you shouldn't compare your sister-in-law to a goddess, should you?"
Li Rong looked at him: "Is it possible that it's just one person?"
Ah Heng was unaware of Cang Lincheng's special feelings for Ah Nuan, and naturally wouldn't understand some of the strange behaviors of the people of Cang Lincheng that seemed odd to outsiders.
Li Rong thought that if he were chased by the whole city once, he would know what was going on.
Chi Heng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then rolled her eyes the next second: "You've gone mad, you've really gone mad."
"Hey, what are you guys doing whispering at my door so late at night?"
Jiang Nuanzhi spent some effort coaxing the sulking little Baozhu to sleep. She was sitting in front of her newly made cabinet, applying paint and smearing things, when she heard a sound at the door. She finally opened it to take a look.
Upon seeing Jiang Nuanzhi, the two of them were momentarily stunned.
Before Li Rong could speak, Chi Heng immediately said, "Sister-in-law, it was those two thieves who insisted on kowtowing to your room in the middle of the night, saying they were worshipping a divine doctor or something. Rong actually believed their nonsense, and I'm teaching him a lesson right now."
As he said this, he raised an eyebrow at Li Rong beside him, looking like he was watching a good show.
Li Rong subconsciously explained, "I sent them back and forbade them to come back. Don't worry."
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at Li Rong, then at Chi Heng, and then, under Chi Heng's expectant gaze, nodded: "Oh, I understand."
Then he frowned and looked at them: "You two just wanted to talk about such a trivial matter?"
Chi Heng looked at Jiang Nuanzhi's reaction and was completely bewildered. What a small matter?
Jiang Nuanzhi yawned: "It's nothing, I'm going to sleep."
As he spoke, he tried to close the door.
In fact, it wasn't just the children who loved the new house; Jiang Nuanzhi herself had never had such a large dressing table before, and the novelty hadn't worn off yet. She hadn't finished tidying up; she had just been arranging her bottles and jars, which was why she hadn't left the house.
"Wait. Ah Nuan, this is for you."
The next second, Li Rong grabbed Jiang Nuanzhi's hand and stuffed a handful of silver notes into her hand.
Jiang Nuanzhi was initially somewhat impatient, but her eyes lit up when she saw the stack of silver notes handed over by those large hands.
She looked up in surprise and saw Li Rong carrying an oil lamp, wearing the nightgown Jiang Nuanzhi had bought for him. An outer robe was casually draped over his back. His tiger-like eyes gleamed as he stared at her. Although he tried his best to appear calm, he still seemed somewhat nervous.
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback. She wondered if it was because the clothes she had bought were different from the all-black clothes he had worn before. The light and elegant color of these clothes made Li Rong's face appear gentler. Looking at him like this, with his long legs and slender waist, Jiang Nuanzhi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She quickly looked away, but then lost all interest in appreciating Li Rong's good looks, mainly because the silver notes in his hand were simply too eye-catching.
"How could I possibly accept this?"
Jiang Nuanzhi took it with a smile and started counting it in her hand.
"One hundred, two hundred, three hundred... a total of one thousand three hundred and twenty-three taels of silver..."
Jiang Nuanzhi took out the two thousand taels she had been carrying in her bosom and put them all in one place. It was a thick stack.
However, as if she had thought of something, Jiang Nuanzhi's smile suddenly stopped. She looked at Li Rong with some nervousness: "Arong, did you get this money through legitimate means?"
If you do the math, Li Rong has given her over three thousand taels of silver.
He's only been gone a few days.
If they had had this much money before, the child and he wouldn't have had to live such a frugal life.
“Of course, this money is perfectly clean, Ah Nuan can use it as she pleases.” Li Rong said without batting an eye, “From now on, all my money will go to Ah Nuan.”
Chi Heng's lips twitched, his face full of astonishment. Did he have some misunderstanding about the word "clean"?
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi took the silver notes that she had just put away out of her tightly tucked sleeve.
"You startled me. Since it's clean, there's no need to hide it."
Li Rong's gaze fell on Jiang Nuanzhi's soft face. He paused for a moment, and almost subconsciously tucked a strand of hair that was sticking to her face behind her ear. He blurted out, "Of course, there will be even more money in a few days."
As for Ah Nuan's question about cleanliness, Li Rong thought, "I can just wash it a couple more times. How can something yellow and white be unclean?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Rong added, "Aheng also said that I should keep the money on myself. But I don't think that's right. What's the point of a grown man carrying money on his person? It should be handed over to his wife to manage."
As he said this, he patted Chi Heng on the shoulder and said righteously, "I'm not trying to criticize you, Ah Heng, but after you get married, you'll understand the good intentions I've put in today."
Chi Heng: ".???"
Damn it, that bastard Li Rong!
Chi Heng glanced at the money in Jiang Nuanzhi's hand, then at Li Rong's wretched state, and gritted his teeth, vowing, "I'm going back to the capital tomorrow! I can't stand this lousy place for another day!"
"Brother Chi, don't be angry. What my Ah Rong said makes sense." Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at Chi Heng and said with a smile, "Even if you're going to leave, you should rest for a day. Tomorrow morning, I'll make you some good food before you set off."
Chi Heng: ".!"
He glanced at Li Rong again, only to see Li Rong nodding behind his wife.
Chi Heng's eyes widened in disbelief. Shouldn't they be trying to persuade him to stay at this point?
Looking at his troublesome brother, Chi Heng gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the fact that his brother had given him several boxes of priceless gifts as a congratulatory present back then, he would have truly wanted to break off their friendship.
His gaze swept over the two of them, finally settling on Jiang Nuanzhi: "Sister-in-law, you've married such a scoundrel, so be careful in everything you do!"
After saying this, he angrily turned and left.
"He seems angry." Jiang Nuanzhi looked over and frowned. "Why don't you go and coax him? I'll get you some food."
Li Rong shook his head, then nodded: "Okay, Anuan, he likes instant noodles. Could you give me some?"
Jiang Nuanzhi was taken aback: "Using instant noodles to coax someone? Is that appropriate?"
"But instant noodles are hard to make? How about I use something else?"
Jiang Nuanzhi waved her hand, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. There are quite a few in that cabinet in the living room upstairs. Go quickly."
"We'll go later." Li Rong scratched his forehead, grinned sheepishly at Jiang Nuanzhi, and didn't move an inch.
"Is there anything else?"
"No." Li Rong immediately shook his head.
Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at the door, which Li Rong was tightly gripping, and raised an eyebrow: "Then you..."
Li Rong glanced at Jiang Nuanzhi, a smile playing on his lips, and immediately opened the door for her: "I'll take you back."
Jiang Nuanzhi readily entered the room, only to see Li Rong follow her in. He stood behind her, baring his teeth and looking at her.
"Are you not going to send me back to my bed?"
Li Rong was taken aback, then blurted out, "Is that alright?"
